Wren's POV

"You are not going in there alone," Kade said.

"I am not going alone. I am going in your place." I pulled on my boots while I talked, because if I stopped talking I would stop moving, and I could not afford to stop. "That is what the seat is for. You gave it to me so that I could speak when you could not."

"Wren, you gave blood last night. You can barely stand."

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 67

    Wren's POV "You are not going in there alone," Kade said."I am not going alone. I am going in your place." I pulled on my boots while I talked, because if I stopped talking I would stop moving, and I could not afford to stop. "That is what the seat is for. You gave it to me so that I could speak when you could not.""Wren, you gave blood last night. You can barely stand.""Then I will stand very carefully."He swung his legs toward the floor again, and Odette crossed the room and planted one hard palm on his chest. He sat back down so fast that the bed frame creaked. "You will lie there and let the cure work," she said, "or I will tie you to the post. Do not think I will not."Kade stared at her. Then he stared at me, and I saw the whole fight go out of him in one long breath. "Take Grier," he said. "Take four wolves. If Thane lays a hand on you...""He will not.""If he does, I will walk down there on my own feet and tear his cane in half." He caught my wrist, gently, above the ban

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   chapter 66

    Wren's POV They carried Kade to Odette's cabin on a door they tore off the chapel hinges. Four wolves in their human skin held the corners, and Grier walked beside it with one hand pressed flat on Kade's shoulder, as if he could hold the Alpha in his body by force. I ran next to them the whole way. I did not let go of Kade's hand once, and by the time we reached the porch my fingers were so stiff that Grier had to pry them loose.Odette did not ask a single question. She took one look at the blade and the black threads under his skin, and she pointed at the table. "Clear it. Now. Wren, wash your hands and hold his head."I held his head. His hair was damp and cold. His eyes were half open and not seeing me."Hold him down," Odette told Grier, and she took a pair of iron tongs from the fire. "Wren, look at his face and nowhere else."I looked at his face. When the blade came out, his whole body arched off the table, and a sound tore out of him that I will hear until I die. Grier threw

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 65

    Wren's POV "Did your mother leave a box at her grave?"My father looked up from his desk. The lamp was turned low, and a cold cup of tea sat untouched at his elbow. It was past midnight. Kade stood behind me in the doorway, and I could feel him watching Edwin the way he watched a strange wolf at the border."A box?" Edwin frowned. "No. She was buried with her comb and nothing else. Why would you ask me that?""Because Celeste told me she did." I kept my voice level. "She said Grandmother left it for the first girl whose wolf never came. She said I must go at dawn, alone."The color left his face. "Celeste said that?""Where is the grave, Father?""The old chapel on the north ridge. The Ashby plot is behind it." He pushed himself to his feet. His hands were shaking. "It is a mile from the Blackthorn line, Wren. A mile.""Close enough for a pack to cross at dawn and be gone before our patrols change," Kade said quietly. "Whoever planned this knows our rotations. Someone has been handin

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   chapter 64

    Wren's POV I did not sleep. At first light I walked out to Odette's cabin with the wooden wolf in my pocket and the whole night still sitting on my chest.Odette was on her porch, grinding herbs in a stone bowl. She did not ask me anything. She patted the step beside her, and I sat down, and I told her everything. Osric's confession. The orange. The silver knife. The last thing he said."Her own house," she said slowly, and the pestle stopped moving. "Yes. That fits.""My gift cannot see my own family. If Ronan has someone in my house, I will get no warning at all." My voice cracked. "I will be the last one to know.""Your gift cannot see them." She tapped my knee. "But you have eyes, child.""That is not a lesson.""It is the oldest one there is. Why do you think the Farsights were feared? Because they saw danger coming. And how? Not only by the pull." Odette set the bowl aside. "They watched people. The hand that shook. The foot that turned toward a door. The pull is a gift, Wren.

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 63

    Wren's POV "Osric," Kade said. He said the name the way a man sets down something that has broken his hands. For a moment it meant nothing to me. Then it meant everything. Elder Osric had taught Kade to shift when Kade was twelve years old. He had carried Kade's father's coffin and held Kade upright at the graveside. He sat at the end of the council bench with his white hair and his pipe, and he never raised his voice. When I was twelve and scrubbing the council floor, he had leaned down from his chair and slid an orange into my apron pocket without a word. I had kept the peel under my pillow for a week because it smelled like being noticed. "No," I said. "It cannot be him." "I told him the dye shed story at his own hearth," Grier said. His voice was gravel. "Alone. I shut the door myself and checked the windows. Nobody else heard it, Wren. Nobody else knew." "Anyone could have..." "The scout was waiting on the exact night I gave him. At the exact place." Grier looked at his pa

  • Forbidden Mate, Fated Sin   Chapter 62

    Kade asked me first. That is what I kept thinking about later. He found me on the steps outside the big hall. The whole council waited behind the doors. He did not give an order. He stood one step lower so our eyes met at the same height. "I want to give you a seat in that room," he said. "At my left side. Not as the mate. You know I cannot say that word yet. Only as the one who sees far from Ashwood. You can say no." "What does the seat do?" "It means when the council talks about danger, you are there to speak. It means no one can talk about you without you hearing it." His voice grew rough. "It means they stop deciding things about you while you are on a kitchen floor." I thought of ten years of mornings. I thought of the wooden wolf in my pocket. "I will sit," I said. "But if I have something to say, I will say it, even if you do not like it." "I would feel bad if you did not." The side of his mouth lifted a little. He held out his arm. I put my hand on it. We pushed through th
