Chapter 65 The Fae

• Celine POV
• The car ride continues, the landscape blurring into a mosaic of greens and blues as we hurtle toward the Fae Kingdom. My body is weary, my muscles aching from the strain of magic and shifting. The residual hum of power thrums beneath my skin, a persistent reminder of the strength I’ve only just begun to harness. Yet, even as fatigue weighs on me, Sebastian insists that we press forward, his determination unyielding.
• He’s right, of course. Stopping isn’t an option. The mere thought of Alpha Ian trailing behind us sends a chill down my spine. If he’s following, it’s not to wish us well—it’s to force his will upon us, demanding we divert our mission for his own selfish needs. I don’t need Sebastian’s reassurances to know the danger of delay.
