Chapter 29: Fear

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 05.09.2026 17:24:01

Celeste's point of view

The path back through the trees moved by in a broken haze. My thoughts kept turning around Ronan's smile, that deep satisfaction that settled on his face the moment I gave him everything he wanted. I told myself the shake in my hands came only from fear, from the heavy truth of betrayal that now felt real instead of something I only imagined alone in my room. Nearly an hour of walking alone under branches that grew darker with evening passed before I admitted the truth.

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 49

    Priya's povThree nights went by before Corin left the house once more. Grier and I followed at a safe distance. We stayed among the trees along the eastern path. Close enough to see what happened. Far enough that he would not notice us and end our search too early.Grier spoke in a quiet voice as we settled into the brush above the fence. "We still know nothing for certain. A young man walking alone at night proves little by itself. We watch carefully. We collect only what our eyes truly catch. We refuse to decide based on fear. Real facts must come first.""I know," I answered just as softly. His words eased the tight feeling in my chest. "I keep remembering how close we came to naming Thane when we had nothing solid. I will not repeat that mistake. Not with Corin. Not with anyone else."Corin reached the fence about twenty minutes later. He paced near the marker stone. He checked over his shoulder again and again. His nervous energy showed he was new to this kind of secret work. So

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 48

    Priya's POVI thought about Thane's name for three days. Something felt wrong at last. It was not normal doubt that gets closer to truth. It felt like a piece that does not fit right no matter how hard you push it.I watched him in two council meetings after the morning we found the seal. I checked every word he said for signs of planning that Grier thought was under his firm way. I only saw an old man tired from a war he thought he could not stop with care alone.That afternoon I found Grier in the training place. He watched his fighters practice with focus. This showed his mind stayed on the same problem for these three days."I do not think it is him," I said at once.Grier turned and looked at my face with care. "You looked sure enough the morning we found the seal.""I was sure about the seal. I am not sure about the man now." I crossed my arms and spoke my thoughts out loud for me and for him. "Thane called a sudden meeting yesterday about money for the patrols. It was small and

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 47

    Grier's pov"Which family," I asked. The question felt heavier than I thought. One answer could change all I believed about the danger around this pack.Priya waited a moment. Her eyes moved to the house. She looked afraid the walls might hear her words and take them somewhere unsafe. "Thane's."The name hit me hard. I was not ready. "Elder Thane.""I do not know if Thane does this himself. Maybe someone in his house uses his mark and he does not know. I only know the seal, Grier. I have seen his council letters on this desk many times over the years. I know the mark at once." Priya's voice stayed calm. Her hands shook a little. "The seal was on the corner of that letter on Celeste's desk. It was as clear as I see you now."I sat quiet for a long time. I thought about what this meant from every side. I looked for any way that did not point to the strongest elder in the pack. This was the same man who wanted Kade to reject Wren in public. Yet he might work against the family he said he

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 46

    Grier’s POV I put on my clothes very fast. Priya fixed her clothes too. Kade waited in the hall by his work room. His face looked much harder than the tired face from last night. “Show me,” I said. He took me inside. I saw at once why the loss hit him hard. The window was closed just like before. It was locked from inside. No marks showed on the bottom or the sides. The door lock was fine. No scratches. No signs of force. A clean way in that should need a key. “You are sure you locked it right?” I said. I knew the answer already. Kade would not call me for a simple mistake. “I am sure, Grier. I watched the key turn. I felt it lock.” He went to the small box where the stone sat. Now the box was empty. Only a soft mark stayed in the cloth where the stone rested all night. “Someone came into this room without breaking the lock. They did not touch the window. They left just as clean.” “A stranger cannot do that. Not without a key. Not without leaving a mark.” “No.” Kade set h

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 45

    Grier's POVI sat. She knelt on the floor between my open legs. This was the first clear position. She held the base of my cock with one hand and licked a long wet stripe from the bottom to the tip. Then she opened her mouth and took the head inside, sucking slow while her tongue pressed against the underside. She moved her head up and down, taking more of my length each time until her lips almost reached her hand. The wet heat of her mouth and the soft pressure of her tongue made me groan."Your mouth feels so fucking good," I told her. "Suck me deeper. Use your tongue. I want to feel the back of your throat."She hummed around my cock and pushed lower. Her free hand cupped my balls and rolled them gentle while she sucked. She kept this position for a long time, bobbing her head, pulling off to lick the full length, then taking me deep again. Spit made my cock shiny. Her eyes stayed on my face while she worked.After many minutes she pulled off and stood. "Now it is my turn. Lie back

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 44

    Grier's POVWe stayed on the horses until the sun was high. The road going east guided us the whole time. We checked every side path and every small trail for any mark of where Celeste went after the water took her scent. We found nothing. No new footprints. No second trail. Only the normal quiet of the forest that kept every secret.Kade rode at the front of our small group most of the morning. He said almost nothing. His face stayed hard the same way it had been since he first heard that his mate's sister had gone into the dark. I did not try to talk with him. Some quiet times need to stay quiet. Years of working next to him taught me that.Near the middle of the day the stone became cold again. The beating feeling inside it stopped and became still. We were very tired and no closer to any answer than we were at the start of the day. I gave the stone to Kade so he could keep it safe. He locked it inside his study until someone who knew more about such things could explain what we
