Chapter 75 - She’s trying to hurt us.
Dernière mise à jour:
2025-09-05 06:00:57Celina’s face was all sweetness when she entered the room. Too sweet.
“Oh, Rory…” she said, her voice high and bright, like a bell that rang just a little too sharp. “I just heard the news!”
I looked up from where I sat on the edge of the bed, Kael hovering like a shadow at my side. My body still ached from the fire surge, my skin marked faintly with glowing lines that the Seer said were the child’s power.
“What news?” I asked carefully.
“Your pregnancy, of course,” Celina said, her smile widening as she came closer. “This is… incredible. A blessing for the entire pack!”
Kael’s hand tightened on my shoulder. I could feel his tension like steel under my skin. “We’re still figuring things out,” he said, his tone clipped.
Celina’s gaze flicked to him and back to me. “Of course you are,” she said smoothly. “But Ro

“Don’t say that,” he said sharply. “You’re safe. We’ll make sure of it.”Riven’s voice was low and dangerous. “Except when she’s around,” he muttered, glaring at Celina.Celina tilted her head, her expression innocent. “You’re angry at me for being here? I didn’t do anything. I was only trying to help Kael.”“Exactly,” Riven said, stepping closer to her. “You’re always here. Always circling.”Kael snapped, “Riven, enough!”Celina looked down, her shoulders sagging as though she were hurt by Riven’s words. “I’ll go,” she said softly. “I don’t want to make things worse.”“No,” Kael said quickly, catching her arm before she could turn. “You don’t have to leave. This isn’t your fault.”I felt that like a punch to the chest. My fire stirred again, clawing at my ribs like it wanted out.Riven noticed. “Kael,” he warned, “you’re making this worse.”Kael turned on him, his voice sharp. “I’m trying to hold this together, Riven. Maybe if you stopped accusing everyone, we’d have a chance.”Celin
Bound to the moon Chapter 79 - Uncertainty
“Kael!”I dropped to my knees beside him, panic burning hotter than the fire that had just lashed out of me. His shirt was charred at the chest, the fabric still smoking.“I didn’t—” My voice broke. “Kael, I didn’t mean—”He groaned, gripping his chest. “I know.” His eyes flickered up at me, softer than I deserved. “It wasn’t you. It’s… the fire.”“Move,” Celina said, her voice calm but commanding as she crouched beside him. Her hands were already pulling small jars from her belt, her fingers sure and practiced.I froze, guilt rooting me in place.Celina looked at me, her green eyes steady. “I’m not here to hurt him. Let me help, Rory.”Riven hovered behind me, his hand on my shoulder. “You’re awfully quick to play healer, Celina,” he muttered.“Someone has to,” she replied sweetly, dabbing a salve onto Kael’s burned skin. “Unless you’d rather watch him suffer.”Kael hissed as the salve touched his chest. “It’s fine, Riven. Let her do it.”Riven’s jaw clenched, but he didn’t argue.I
Bound to the moon Chapter 78 - a silent challenge
“Life always is,” she murmured. “But this baby… it’s a gift, Rory. You shouldn’t be afraid of it.”Kael’s blade clanged against Riven’s shield, sending sparks flying. Celina’s eyes flicked toward him, and I didn’t miss the faint smile that curved her lips.“Kael’s under a lot of pressure,” she said softly. “Trying to be the leader, the protector, the brother who never breaks. Sometimes I wonder if anyone sees how much he’s carrying.”I frowned. “I see him.”“Do you?” she asked, tilting her head. “Because from where I stand, Kael looks… lonely. Like he’s carrying the weight of all your fire and fear on his shoulders.”I didn’t answer, but her words sank in like tiny hooks.Kael won the sparring round with a brutal strike that knocked Riven flat on his back. He didn’t even pause to help him up, just stalked toward the well to grab a drink, his jaw tight.Celina stood gracefully. “Kael,” she called, her voice warm. “You’re pushing yourself too hard again.”He stopped, surprised by her to

The note burned in my hand.Not every fire is meant to burn bright. Some are meant to be snuffed out.I didn’t need to guess who had left it. The smell of Celina’s herbs still clung to the parchment.But why leave this? Was it a warning? A threat? Or something else entirely?“Throw it away,” Riven said from the doorway, his voice like gravel. He’d appeared silently, as if he’d known exactly what I was reading.“Did you see her leave it?” I asked, my voice low.“I didn’t have to,” he said, stepping closer. “This has her all over it.”Kael walked in then, frowning as he spotted the note in my hand. “What’s going on now?”“Your precious Celina left a little love letter,” Riven said darkly, snatching the paper from me and holding it up. “Read it for yourself.”Kael’s eyes skimmed the words, his jaw tightening slightly, but he shook his head. “It doesn’t mean anything. It could be… a saying. Or an old proverb.”Riven laughed bitterly. “A proverb about snuffing out fires? Wake up, Kael. She
Bound to the moon Chapter 76 - Even poison can feel sweet at first
But another wave of pain slammed through me, making my choice for me. My hand shook as I took the jar from Celina.The liquid was cool and faintly sweet, and almost instantly, the heat inside me dulled. The pain receded, leaving me trembling but breathing again.“See?” Celina said with a soft smile, brushing a strand of hair from my face. “Just like I said.You’re stronger than you think, Rory. You just need to give yourself and the baby a chance.”“Thank you,” I whispered, though the words felt heavy in my mouth.Kael gave her a nod, his shoulders easing. “I don’t know what we’d have done without you.”Celina’s smile widened, warm and reassuring. “You don’t have to thank me. We’re family now, aren’t we?”The moment she stepped back, Riven muttered under his breath, “She’s too happy about this.”“Riven,&
