Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 133
Veronica's POVI didn't sleep a wink and I haven't talked to Sebastian since yesterday.He also didn't attempt to initiate any conversation. I'm not sure whether I like that I had the space I needed or dwell on the fact that he didn't reach out. I can't even understand my emotions anymore.“The investigation will commence in the chambers of the Sun Council later this day, Luna,” Isolde spoke with more formality than usual behind me.I remained staring at myself in front of the mirror while Analynn silently brushed my hair. I have very evident dark circles under my eyes. We slept in separate rooms last night. One of the perks of this big palace.“Your presence is being asked by both the officials of Helios and the Holy Parliament for the upcoming interrogation,” Isolde continued, “But this morning, they want to have a meeting about the events with your required attendance.I didn't respond right away. I knew I couldn't avoid this, though.This is a grave matter and as the queen, as mu

Veronica’s POVEamon is the last person I’d suspect of being the traitor.Sebastian seems to think the same, probably with more conviction than me. After all, Eamon is his Beta and best friend. They go way back, even before I entered the picture. Also, as the Alpha, he's the one who chose his right hand man and if he picked Eamon, that speaks on how much trust he has on him. Especially for someone like Sebastian who is distant with most people.“What do you mean he's missing?” There was a snap in his voice as he asked Declan, “How can that happen? Where did you go?”“He said he had a lead,” Declan glanced at me and I was reminded why Eamon was not in Helios in the first place.Right. I was the one who gave him that task.“So naturally, as he briefed me during our journey, I followed his plans,” Declan continued, “We traveled to the West to meet a witch.”“A witch?” Sebastian’s eyebrow raised and you couldn't paint the anger in his face, “You knew better than to trust a witch!”A witc

Veronica's POVNolan terrifies me a bit.I have come to this realization recently. At first, I thought he was the easiest Rozeiros to read and get close to. After all, compared to his siblings, he's more cheery and outgoing at first glance, even welcoming and chill.However, getting to know them more, he's actually the most mysterious out of the five. And this is coming from someone like me who is usually adept at observing people.While Rowan is stoic, Declan is apathetic, Luciana is intimidating, and Sebastian is aggressive— Nolan is fickle. You cannot fully predict him.One moment he's nice and laughing, then suddenly he's menacing and scary. He seems to know a lot of things and hide many secrets too.“What do you want?” I asked, a bit more vigilant than I wanted to protray and stepped back, making sure there is distance between us. Nolan smiled wider, as if he noticed my intention and thoughts.“Can't I just drop by to check on my favorite sister-in-law and catch up?” He tilted h

Veronica's POV“Tell me one good reason why you're alone in this chamber with my wife,” Sebastian barged within a fraction of a second after hearing Nolan answer him.I knew it was coming. I didn't even have time to react.And perhaps Nolan fell from his crib when he was a child because he goads his short-tempered, violent brother more.“Clearly because I want to steal my dear brother’s queen—” his laugh didn't finish when he started choking on air.Sebastian’s hand grip around his neck tightly, claws elongated. That would definitely leave a mark.I grimaced but remained on my feet. Saying anything or trying to defend Nolan would just be worse and besides, it was his fault.Now alarmed, he raised his hands in the air with a pained smile, “Can't I joke around, Sebastian? It's like you don't know me at all!” He managed to yell with a lot of struggle.“I don't find it funny,” Sebastian answered, voice raspy with a low growl while baring his sharp canines before he threw Nolan's body with

Veronica's POV“I'm not dying Veronica.”I’m not sure when my anger turned from being betrayed through a broken trust into the stubborn vulnerability I want to avoid that comes with the possibility of losing him.His words echoed in my head.Sebastian was so sure that the curse will not kill him. He doesn't even seem to take it seriously. Perhaps it's only natural. He's never been weak in his entire life. Being in the brink of death is an unfamiliar territory for him.But not for me.“You don't know that,” I held his baffled gaze.I toed with near-death for a couple more times than I can count my entire life.I was never a gifted hunter by birth— it was all hardwork. The desperation to be acknowledged that fueled me to excel. I had no choice but to make myself excel, indespensible. Yet never a prodigy like him.So I have brushed with death a lot of times. Then, my life turned into worst. There was a time when it almost ended. Twice. One during my first imprisonment and second was duri

Veronica's POVThere are three things we need to sort out.First, the trial for the murder of the Culling Tournament: it's impossible to disprove something Sebastian did commit. However, we cannot let this be used against Helios and let them corner us. Either we sway the direction into a more favorable judgment or manage to finalize a settlement.Second: find our Beta. Eamon is still missing out there. It could mean a lot of things but mostly two worst possibilities— a sign of betrayal or a hint of danger. Declan has set out to chase after his tracks and hopefully, come back positive results. Third: get points one and two done within a short amount of remaining time before the upcoming eclipse.Because unfortunately, this isn't the strongest storm that is about to hit us. That, I am sure of.“You know, when we talked about coming back to Metropolis, I didn't think it would be this soon,” I broke the silence in the carriage as we started to cross the familiar large arc at the end of t

Veronica's POV The mystery pieces of how the murder of the Culling Tournament started coming together after seeing Colton and Gareth. They are definitely behind this. “Why are we joined with pests here tonight?” Sebastian gritted out the moment we stepped inside and saw them, “I wasn't informed that we are having bad company.” “I don't think we're the bad guys here, Sebastian,” Gareth answered with a smirk as he stared at him goadingly, “We came here to help.” “Help me and go fuck yourself then,” Sebastian took a step to lunge, almost instinctively but I pulled him to a halt. This is bad. Horrible, even. We can't have Sebastian lose his temper and trigger the curse in the middle of this trial. If that happens, we'd never recover for it. As much as Helios is powerful, the pack is still bounded by lycan oaths and principles. This could turn as an ammunition and an excuse for every enemy that the kingdom has to aid in taking down Helios. With everyone possibly working together t

Veronica's POV“We all know the tales about the demon wolf. The kind of stories told to children at bedtime to warn them about the big bad wolf, a nightmare even amongst our kind.”I felt Sebastian’s hand flinch from Colton's words but he remained stoic. It's the most reaction I got from him since earlier. Nolan himself fell silent too.I glared at the bastard Colton but all three of us cannot contradict his words despite wanting to cut his tongue right then and there. It's vexing that he's aware of this fact and exploiting it to provoke us.“The brutal descriptions of the death brings the rumors to life. Always the torn limbs, the body in pieces, and the head is ripped away,” Colton’s eyes glinted with satisfaction as he looked at us, “Same pattern means same killer, yeah?”I bit the insides of my cheek.After witnessing that dark side of Sebastian, I started to see the same pattern Colton was pertaining to. Sebastian has this habit in killing, quite instinctive, that I don't think h

Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 156
Veronica’s POVFor the first time in a very long time, Helios is empty of its people.It was still dark and the sky was gloomy, as if sympathizing with the ominous events that are about to come later in the day. The bitter wind howled through the trees and vacant buildings within the territory. It almost sounded like a creepy crying gust of air. I watched the cloudless ether. The snow was falling on my skin but I was too numbed to feel any coldness. Ironically, I feel calmer than I expected. My heart was not hammering like how it usually is already. There was not even a tangible form of anger in my chest. It was just void and in peace. It makes me feel more eerie.“The kingdom has never been this quiet,” Nolan spoke from near me, his tone languid as he clasped his hands on top of his head, tilting his gaze and watching the same scenery as me.“Yes,” a voice responded. It was Rowan who was leaning on a nearby tree, his hands crossed over his chest while maintaining his impassive demea
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 155
Veronica’s POVThe spy is a dead end.“Aren wouldn’t be able to give us any information about Jadeline like we expected,” Nolan addressed the elephant in the room.We were all stuck in utter silence for our set meeting today. All the Rozeiros siblings are present with Eamon as an addition to us. We’re still yet to arrive on a decision of how we will move from here.“Shouldn’t we give him a proper funeral and find out how he truly died?” I asked them, the unsettling feeling never left me since yesterday.“I have talked with Soren,” Sebastian responded to me, “He said he wants to keep this private for a longer time, especially to their family and he asked if he could be the one assigned to pursue his brother’s case.”I bit my nail and asked, “Does he know about Aren being used by Jadeline?”“He got the whole picture after some time,” he paused and sighed, “When the two of us went to talk with the sorcerer last night, he revealed to us that Aren was long dead before he was used as a pupp

Soren’s POV“You should’ve been the one who died instead.”These were the last words I said to my brother. The twin I would never get to talk to ever again.It’s the same words that’s been eating me up from the inside. I will never forget the memory of that night when it started to fall apart. It’s etched in my entire being since then and it’s worse now.“Come on, Soren.” Aren tried pulling me from where I was kneeling on my knees. I couldn’t shed a tear anymore, I cried it all out, “We need to leave. They’re here…”“No,” I mumbled, still lost in haze. I cannot take my eyes away from the lifeless body in front of me. Blood is everywhere. I feel like throwing up and gauging my own eyes out.“I’m not gonna leave—we can’t leave…” My cold, shaking hands tried to hug the corpse to myself, trying to convince myself that I can still hear a heartbeat.Aren was looking outside the cottage, senses heightened as he was scanning for the people who were coming after us. But I couldn’t care less.A

Veronica’s POV“That shouldn’t be possible! Being soulless is unheard of!” Soren exclaimed, hysterical as he lunged at the sorcerer. “You’re probably mistaken, maybe you can cast the incantation again!”“Soren, calm down—” I tried to approach him and pull him from the poor sorcerer who he had been gripping tightly by the shoulders. “We can investigate this in a pro—”Soren shoved me harshly in the middle of his fit and I stumbled a bit from the force. Sebastian easily caught me by the arm and all of us watched Soren spiral. “It can’t be true! It can’t! Because if then… If then… Having no soul is basically…” Soren has let go of the sorcerer and is now pulling his hair with his widened crazed eyes.He faced us with a horrified expression as he mumbled,“Dead.”I couldn’t help but pity him so I walked to Soren and yanked to hug him, burying his head by the crook of my neck to release a calming scent. The moment I did, he started crying and sobbing. His hands unconsciously hugged me.Ome
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 152
Sebastian's POVThe possible traitors have always just been four people—this is a fact I have known since the first time I realized that we have a betrayer in the pack.Eamon. Isolde. Soren. Aren.The traitor has always been just among them and only them. After all, they are the four people who have been consistently present during the incidents and have the skills to pull off the deed. I did not consider Keldor who was stuck in Eviera and held hostage nor Analynn who has limited knowledge about our plans.Eamon’s only incriminating factor is that he is the Beta but I doubted that he would betray me.Isolde seemed attached to Veronica and I couldn’t think of any motive strong enough for her to risk it.Soren may seem a bit carefree but he’s an obedient and devoted warrior I have watched grow.Aren… Now him, I’ve always suspected. “He’s in this prison cell,” Veronica told Soren who was behind her, silent and with unreadable mixed emotions in his face. “We thought you should be here wh
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 151
Veronica’s POV “How can you be so sure?” I asked Sebastian as we trudged the hallways, my heart hammering in my chest. I just fixed myself up after venting my anger in the practice field. He came to get me and then filled me in about his plans for the Helios traitor. I couldn't believe it when he first told me. I thought I was just too tired from lashing out at those poor dummies but he told me he’ll show it to me. “He's been working for you for years, right? He’s also a native pack member,” I said, my mind still in denial. A pack traitor is something that is hard to accept for werewolves. After all, we pride ourselves in our bonds with each other, it's what gives us strength. To have one in a kingdom as prosperous as Helios is simply unthinkable. Even as I am aware that there is definitely one for quite some time now. “It's only the fitting answer after we’ve traced the possibilities of how Eamon’s actions and his entire investigation was known to the enemy,” Sebastian respond
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 150
Veronica’s POVThe eclipse is more than just a week away.“You’re really obsessing over that bite, huh?” I turned to give Sebastian a smile as I let him rub his thumb over my gland, holding back a shiver from his touch. He shifted in the sheets and moved closer to nuzzle his nose by my neck, inhaling there, “Can you blame me?”“It’s the only thing that keeps us apart,” he mumbled as he dropped his head on my shoulder.Sebastian grabbed my hand and played with our fingers together.“Once we have the bond, we'll become one,” he blurts out, “I would feel your emotions, hear your thoughts… Our wolves would be complete, I’d be able to sense you, you’ll become part of me and—”He looks up to meet my gaze.“I'd always have you.”Sebastian said it so earnestly that I was left unable to say anything back.He sat properly now and reached to hold my cheek, “That’s all I ever wanted.”My heart hammered in my chest, feeling so full and cherished from the affection that he has always given me.I l

Note: The following chapter contains explicit adult content.* * * * *Veronica’s POVThe Veronica, who has heard the rumors of the fearsome king of Helios, and the frightened exiled Luna who first stepped in this territory, would’ve never imagined this even in her wildest dreams.Kissing Sebastian started in a fervent moving of our lips together, savoring each other like we’ve been starved for decades.It did feel like that.“Hmm,” I hummed in delight when he sucked on my tongue and tilted his head to explore the inside of my mouth better.With the continuous assault of problems towards us lately, starting from my abduction to the untangling of Jadeline’s grand plans, we never have time to actually be intimate anymore.Until tonight.Our kiss turned slow, languid, and dizzying. I felt drunk with the way he gently but harshly moved his lips on mine.I’m now kissing the same Alpha I used to only think in fear.Fate really is a funny thing.My wolf was purring inside me, enjoying this t
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 148
Sebastian’s POV“You share the same strength and violence of the one who’s once Helios’ strongest.”Those are words I remember my father saying, back when I returned home from my first official hunt with some pack members. I never truly understood what he meant by it. He just always regarded me with his observant eyes every time I used my abilities. “I hope you don’t share the same curse.”He mentioned one time.He’s probably disappointed now.“This ledger… it shouldn’t exist,” Rowan’s remark pulled me back from my deep thoughts,, “The information here was supposed to be only known by our family,” he added.After the recent events, my siblings somehow ended up more involved in Veronica’s whole revenge ordeal. I’m not really sure how I feel about it.Back when Nolan was the only one sticking his nose into it, I was already pretty irritated by the fact. Now, all of them are. I want Veronica to share a close bond with my family and I’m glad they are treating her well— there was a time
