DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 51 - RECALCITRANT RAGE
-LYKOAN’S POV-Resentment boiled low in my chest."If she dies, so will you,” I roared, eyes locked on Nia as I jumped over Boaz’s dead wolf.“Go to hell. Don’t come any closer or my claws will rip her throat.” Zebeon negotiated with panic in his tone, positioning a hand at Nia’s neck and trying to hide behind a tree trunk. “My sister for her.”Already my muscles burn and I bleed from numerous small hits. Blood also flowed freely from the deep wound on my shoulder, coating my back and draining my energy. Yet, all these were minor matters. Only Nia’s safety was critical, so much so, that the impulse to save her was staggering.Turning slightly, I glared down at the only chestnut-haired Alpha-female who was lying on the ground petrified, but was looking back at Zebeon. A primordial growl clamored for release.“Get up.”Drenched in fear, she flashed her hazel eyes at me. I had to retract my aura for her to get on her feet.“Go,” I rasped with strong authority.The girl gulped thickly and
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 52 - MYSTICAL WOMAN
-LYKOAN’S POV-Regret torched me and my soul caught on fire, searing me from the inside out, and I dropped to my knees, trembling. This wasn’t right. My whole world was caving in. Letting out a lamenting breath, I put my hand over the wound and blood seeped through the cracks of my fingers.Nia’s orange eyes were wide, staring into mine with disbelief as she stuttered the words, “T-ell M-om…..I’m s-orry.”“You can tell her yourself. You’re going to be fine,” I said quietly, sniffing hard. Her irises rolled up as her lids fluttered nonstop, and her head leaned away from me. Using one hand, I grasped her chin tenderly, bringing her face to look back at me, pleading, “You have to hold on. You hear me? You can’t leave me.”Hail of gunfire, growls, and howls filled the air with death and sadness, stretching out like a rubber band, getting thinner and thinner by the second, but I couldn't focus on anything except Nia. I couldn't let go of her.Tears rolled from the corners of her eyes and my
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 53 - MIGHT AND MAYHEM
-LYKOAN’S POV-Like a mountain lion ready to pounce, I kicked the door off the hinges, letting it crash to the ground. The scent of incense, milk, and honey greeted my nostrils, attempting to coax me into tranquility.Huffing and puffing with rage, I entered the room, roaring, “Mother! Where are you? Mother!”Mine and Sultan’s anger mingled into an unbearable control. My power leaked out of me like a hot volcanic eruption. She will feel the heat of my tongue today. My eyes darted around the large space. How typical of her to be too busy for me.The well-made bed with a fluffy teal comforter was empty as usual. My heavy feet stomped across the large, globe-like, creamy-white hydrangea flowers that decorated the hardwood floor, kicking them with my black boots, until I reached the tall white French windows that opened to a sea of white, wavy clouds.“My son, what is wrong with you?” A soft, perplexed voice came from behind me.Horn-mad, I whipped around to confront her beautiful face, a
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 54 - SPARK OF HOPE
-LYKOAN’S POV-Instead of showing remorse, Mom sniffed and turned her back to me, bowing her head to hide the reflection of her face in the mirror. She was appealing for my sympathy when she was the damn villain. Her sniveling grated on my nerves.Whenever she wanted me to relent my anger, she manipulated me with tears. Well, not today. Not when Nia’s life was hanging.Every cell that I am composed of wanted to rage, to become a monster she feared, and maybe then she would leave me alone or just tell me what the hell she did. What plans were she concocting and to what end?For I could never forgive her for letting me lose Jessanne. My heart was growing cold towards this woman since, because of her, I might never find happiness in this life. Not to mention, that she also stopped my death ritual.This was another reason why I was afraid to even love Nia. To relive the grief and feel the excruciating pain of losing another mate would kill us. Sultan and I only wanted to enjoy the mate we
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 55 - RAINBOW RIDGE
-NIA’S POV-"Oh, Nia," the celestial woman pleasantly acknowledged me. She rose from the boulder with her warm eyes searching mine, extending her hands to me.Something was urging me to her and I found myself going into her arms, accepting her friendly embrace."So much pain.” She spoke quite motherly, patting my back soothingly. “I answered your call because your emotions cried out beyond the physical world, reaching out to the other realms, upsetting nature.”“Then you know that I don’t want to be here, wherever this place is,” I replied softly, over her shoulder.She heaved a sad sigh and released me from the hug, scanning her eyes up and down my frame. "It takes a toll to visit my workshop; your body is already so weak.”I furrowed my brows, struggling to understand what she meant. "Please tell me this is a dream?" I murmured, hoping it was."Hmm, something of the sort." She paused and tilted her head slightly. "Do you know who I am?" She asked, making a slow wave of her right han
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 56 - BOMBSHELLS
-NIA’S POV-Thunderstruck, I began hyperventilating.Shivers sped down my back. My hands trembled uncontrollably, fingers twitching with nervous energy. The unexpected revelation had sent shockwaves through my entire being.I must have blinked a thousand times in this single moment as my mind struggled to reconcile reality with the shock.Jessanne.That name curdled my blood. Have I heard it before?“I don’t understand.” The words I uttered next were shaky and low.“What use would you have for your body if you are dead? I made you resemble Jessanne so that Lykoan would easily accept the mate bond.” Selene’s candor was shooting from both barrels, wounding me in many ways.But that made no sense. “But I was born this way and mated to Dalton at first.”“As I mentioned, eventually you would have met Lykoan and become his mate, too. Dalton would not have objected since he would have strong ties and power to Volkecrest Krowns.”I flushed and held up two fingers. “Two mates?” I pointed the sa
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 57 - SIGMA SPADES
-NIA’S POV-My heavy eyelids blinked open to meet a plain white ceiling. My dry throat hurt so bad that whenever I swallowed, it was like a shrimp was stuck in my windpipe. I couldn’t even muster a groan.Dazed and weak, with leaden limbs, I couldn't feel anything from my waist down. I felt like death.“Technically, we died, Nia.” Starr huffed.Go figure.I took a long, shaky breath, hyperaware of the pain ricocheting against my ribcage as my lungs expanded, and finally hauled myself onto my elbows. My body groaned in protest.Seashell white blankets surrounded me like a blessed cocoon and a sheen of the moonlight passed through the open window, pooling on my skin.Managing to swivel my head, I vetted the surroundings. The room was dark and quiet with only the sound of slow, even breathing and light snoring cutting through the silence.Why was Gawain sound asleep beside me? He was lying shirtless in black sweatpants on his back with one arm folded behind his head and the other resting
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 58 - SUBSTITUTE
-NIA’S POV-"You’re finally here," I rasped with a small smile, clearing my throat after hearing how foreign I sounded.Lykoan stepped forward, entering the room a little more and shutting the door. My eyes watched him carefully. His dull lilac hues stared skeptically.Using my abdominal muscles, I tried to sit up but was met with searing pain that radiated up my side. The sensation forced a heavy breath and a whimper as I fought against my own body, trying desperately to move.My side stung and sent a deep pain up my side near my ribs every time I inhaled. Yet I was determined to. I winced as I sat up in the bed, anxiously pulling my silk strands over my shoulders, awaiting him.The tension built minute by minute as this scenario corners us. My stomach grumbled, moaning in hunger. Then a heart-pounding silence descended.His lilacs were fixated on my orange orbs. Hurt flashed through his eyes. The outer ends of his eyebrows drooped, and his hands were shaking. He was nervous. Why?"I

DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 73 - LURKING RAPTOR
NIA’S POV-“We're not done yet, Alpha,” Caliste politely interjected, stopping the advancing footsteps that had made my golden ears perk up.Using my left hand, I gripped my right wrist, thrashing on my chair as I tugged and pulled, harder and harder. Yet nothing happened, only more coughing and more smoke that puffed out of my ears.My throat felt chafed, dry, and aching. Hissing from the shortness of breath, I clasped my neck, blinking my wet eyelids excessively, and I nearly passed out.My heart instantly ached for my mate. Wanting Lykoan to be at my side and make it stop. My first instinct was to scream for his assistance. However, my voice was lodged in my throat, as if some sort of imaginary block had been placed where my vocal cords were.I gripped the side of my head as a splitting headache ripped through it. The pressure built. Sweat stung my eyes like vipers. I yelped in agony. When will this terrible spell end?Then it happened.I was somewhere else, alone and petrified. I
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 72 - VEREDITO
NIA’S POV-“Nia, we invited Caliste, our pack witch.” Olsen addressed me in a cautious tone with his hazel eyes settling on mine. “To gain our trust, we require that you pass a minor test.”“Are you for real?” Lykoan scoffed. I groaned internally, reeling from the unexpected sting of that one word.“Okay.” I acquiesced with fake composure. Inside, I was freaking out. Test? What bloody test?"Excellent!" Olsen exclaimed with a nod. "I'm glad for your consent. It’s an amicable solution." He smiled, but it never touched his hazel eyes. He was hiding something.Alpha Jacques and his Beta exchanged snarky glances. He gave him a flick of the chin and T.K. moved from his spot, strolling down the table, and going towards the door. It was too late to back out without arousing more suspicion. For a piercing minute, I regretted my decision. Now, I had no choice but to see it through. To steady my heart, I forced myself to remember my initial motivation for doing this…to be acquitted of all the
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 71 - WIZENED WRANGLE
-NIA’S POV-Lykoan began to grit his teeth, and I squeezed his hand gently. Starr was antsy, more agitated as these lycans spoke in opposition to our mate. It was absurd to deny Lykoan the natural right to open his heart to whomever he pleased and to wreck his life just because of his curse.Irritation wrapped itself around my throat. “Lykoan and I met under unforeseen circumstances that bound me here. The moon goddess herself bid that I become his Sigma Spade. To go against us is to go against our deity. So, all this hostility is extremely unnecessary and aggravating."“Impossible,” ejaculated from Agnes in a high-pitched raspy voice, disbelief cloaking her timeworn features.Korbeck snorted. Thebian raked a hand through his canescent brown hair.At the same time, Jacques threw his head back and laughed out loud. “You expect us to believe you spoke with the moon goddess.” He spat bitterly. “The gods don’t bother with your kind.”Low growls reverberated around the room, to which Lykoa
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 70 - MORNING CUDDLES
-LYKOAN’S POV-Dawn's honey-peach glow awakened me from my quiet slumber. A new freshness stoked within me as if the world had been enhanced to a higher plane. That’s because Nia has lit up my life in many ways.She was sleeping soundly and wrapped around me with her head on my chest, an arm thrown over my waist, and our legs entwined. I lay there, memorizing every detail of this moment.We were both naked, too tired last night to get any clothes on. Besides, the tingling feel of our skin-to-skin sated the physical need to be near her and to touch her, not necessarily in a sexual way, but in a way that just made me feel content.Feeling Nia starting to move and stretch against me, I caressed her side, making sure she knew I was still there as she became fully awake and aware.Her eyelids fluttered, making one of her dark lashes feathered against my skin, and my chest jolted at how much it tickled.Without lifting her head, she looked up at me. Her stunning orange eyes peeked through th
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 69 - VEIL OF CONTENTMENT
-NIA’S POV-Lykoan’s dark eyebrows furrowed and a small frown adorned his lips.Torment filled his lilacs when he uttered, “The Quintessa witches tried and most of the illusions stopped except that I see her at nights. I know she’s not real but, it’s kept me sane. Our nightly talks gave me something to look forward to. It was as though she was still around. So I haven’t slept in years because I couldn’t miss one night without her.”My chest tightened, and I squeezed my eyes shut. The pain in his voice lanced through my very own soul. But, I did not want him to stop talking to me. I opened my eyes and tilted my head up to find him solemnly gazing down at me.To console him, my fingers massaged the back of his neck, making him groan and roll his shoulders.Lykoan’s throat bobbed. Then he explained with a heartbreaking tenderness. “Although, all I feel is guilt when she visits. The guilt that I couldn’t save her. The guilt that I lived, and she died with my son.”Listening keenly, I inte
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 68 - LYKOAN'S CURSE
-NIA’S POV-With slow butterfly strokes, I swam towards Lykoan. The water moved around my body in swirls as a rippling eagerness to satisfy my curiosity surged forth.His sexy lips held that devilishly attractive smirk and his sinful eyes darkened with lust. Danger, my mind screamed, well aware that he was naked, and I was naked.It was clear our wolves desired to be mated. The threads of the bond strive to connect at all endpoints. Perhaps that’s what accounted for how I yearned to open up to him.Gliding through the water, my actions surprised even me as I held his raunchy lilacs—the silver light reflecting off his skin. For the first time, after a long while, I felt light and unburdened as the water refreshed both my mind and body.Once I was close enough, he snagged me around the waist and pulled me toward him. I wrapped my legs around his torso to keep myself above the water. My hands snaked around his neck with my breasts pressed against his taut chest. Our eyes locked, and the
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 67 - NIGHT SWIM
-LYKOAN’S POV-Shuffling through my cards, I cursed under my breath. I was barely winning this Gin Rummy game against Nia.I was surprised I could concentrate right now, let alone win. I stole long glimpses of her over the top of my cards more than I managed to obtain these triple jacks.Nia had on a cerise pink cami shorts set. The curve of her chest flowing down into her small waist before billowing outward to her full hips was imprinted in my mind.The tiny, impractical, shorts showed off her smooth legs. At the same time, the frilled edge top bunched up her breasts into two mouth-drooling mounts that had me going almost feral in this chair.Oh my God. The things I would do to this woman if she would let me."You alright?" I asked her tightly as she took her time sifting through her cards.She appeared flustered as she shifted in the gray woven rope chair around the breakfast nook."The heat is maddening. It’s hard to function," she groaned, fanning herself with her hand.It wasn’t
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 66 - RABID HYBRIDS
-NIA’S POV-‘Continue the blood.’ A feathery voice played in my head. It was the moon goddess again.Lykoan’s blood was the key, but how? I still couldn’t understand what I was supposed to do.My eyes blinked as I racked my brain. I need a helping hand here, Selene. Like maybe some hints and tips for starters.Then I found Lykoan observing my facial expression from his chair. I immediately straightened my face. Acting nonchalant, I avoided his probing lilacs.“Hybrids feast on the DNA of other shifters,” Gawain explained, pulling the needle out of Lykoan’s flesh. “They think that mixing genes by cross-breeding and experiments make them unstoppable—that it’s supposed to gird them with additional abilities.” He sealed the tube with a blue cap. “The truth is combining more than three genes corrupts their DNA, and eventually they break out with diseases. Do you remember ebolipox?”“Yes,” I recalled that nasty disease that wiped out a large variety of people in the neutral territories.“Th
DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 65 - RECKLESS PROVOCATION
-NIA’S POV-“Why not today?” I asked Lykoan as he piggybacked with me through the neatly cut backyard of Arrondale.That’s the name of Lykoan's property where the mansion was located. He insisted that I ride him in this uncomfortable position. It was the only way he would let me accompany him to wherever he was going.Apart from that, he smelled so good. My hands rested on top of his broad shoulders, and I kept my nose close to his neck to keep the scent dominantly constant.“You can’t open that bank account until Jacques completes your filing. Your information will be uploaded as an official member on the pack’s server. The banks screen and do their know-your-customer diligence to ensure your membership is validated and approved by the Alpha. So, even though they’ll feel the pack link within you, it’s against protocol to go ahead without the verification,” he told me as he walked past the pool in long quick strides. “I’m sure that will be done after you meet with the Elders.”Similar
