Veronica’s POV

The truth is often cruel and bitter.

I’ve been seeking the love of a mother who’s chasing the ghost of her real child. And this is why she will never look at me—why she didn’t love me this whole time.

I’m not the daughter she wants. I could live a hundred lifetimes and I’ll never be the child she loves.

I’m nothing but a lonely orphan, a key for her real desires.

Jadeline smiled viciously and added to her revelations that continued to wreck me, “It sure took a very long time to get here though.” She paused.

“The shadow needed to regain its strength because of the first ritual taking its toll even if it’s not completed and well… your bloodline was very secretive, sweetheart. It was a long journey just to gather the elements I needed,” she sighed.

“But I never gave up on my daughter,” she said. “Finally, everything started to fall into place and here we are today.”

“Daughter…” I looked up at where she's standing. “Your real daughter back when you were still Jaedeli

‎Hello! Now that I am tying the loose ends of this story, I have found one conflict. ‎ I am writing this note to tell you that I will be editing one tiny detail from the previous chapters and from here on... I'll have Jadeline live around 1,000 years (millennium) not the original 100 years (century) instead because the timeline will be messed up if it's just 100 years. Nothing changes much, it’s just how long her life is. ‎I'm so sorry for this blunder of mine, I'm not good at math (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) and tbh I totally forgot that werewolf years are longer compared to humans ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ ‎I hope it won't be too confusing for those still reading. Again, I'm really sorry. I'll do better !! This won’t happen again !! ‎Thank you for your time and patience with me and this story !!

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 172

    Third Person’s POVSebastian lay unconscious on the cold ground.The dark entity managed to subdue him and knocked him out with a surprise attack. He slammed him to the snow covered ground, creating a crater around him—he wasn't really supposed to wake up for a while… at least a day or more.But his finger started flinching.And soon enough, he started to move.Darkness clung to the forest as the moonlight continued to be eaten by the sky.The freezing air was razor-sharp and would've rendered most normal people paralyzed, slicing through the pines as the blood moon loomed above the world, halfway veiled by shadow. At this time, the eclipse was reaching its peak, and the wind howled with a low, haunting song—like the woods themselves were warning of something ancient stirring.He opened his red eyes. They were glowing especially in the night.Sebastian lay sprawled on the forest floor, body twitching as the snow soaked into his cloak and the blood crusting his side began to dry. For

    Veronica’s POV“S-sebastian… please—please let me go.”I couldn't breathe. I tried hitting his arm to make him loosen his grip but he wasn't budging. I felt the shackles still pulling me with every movement.Everything happened so fast.When he arrived, I was almost relieved. But I knew the moment he stepped forward to the light, that something wasn't right.Sebastian's not in his right mind.It must be the curse.“It’s Veronica… I’m Veronica—” I gasped and attempted to pry his hand away only to no avail. “Sev—w-wake up… C'mon… snap… out o-of i—”I started choking more, making it hard to say a word.He was strong since the day I met him but I was never on the receiving end of his violence. At this moment, I realized just how much fear this strength of his brings to someone he is targeting.I looked into his eyes.Red eyes.But they seemed so different.It was a brighter shade of red with black veins rooting from his irises. His eyes were glowing. It looked way too horrifying.Tears st

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 174

    Veronica’s POV“I won’t let you use him for your own gain!” I said out loud and glared at the looming shadow.In a rush, I attempted to stand up but the shackles on me pulled me down to remain on the ground. My legs are still very weak, how I manage to remain conscious is probably just because of sheer will and adrenaline.“Hm, that is very thoughtful of you, Your Highness,” the dark entity mocked me with a chuckle. “But you can’t even save yourself,” it said. “You’re not one to talk about being a savior. You have been failing at it the entire night.”“If you weren’t able to beat Jadeline on your own, do you think you can stand against me?” It laughed loudly. I followed its movement, circling me before going towards Sebastian’s direction, who looks like in an inner turmoil from where he stands.I snarled at the entity not taking me seriously. My eyes darted back at Sebastian. He kept on flinching and I squinted at his current state.Is it possible that he’s fighting to take back contr

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 175

    Sebastian’s POVI know darkness like the back of my hand.It has accompanied me since I was born. I haven’t drowned before but perhaps this is how it feels like—drowning in darkness. It takes me into a whirlwind of memories and emotions.“You’ll have to marry anyway, Sebastian! Can't you take the prophecy seriously?” Luciana’s voice sounded so real in my head as if taking me back to that actual day.I saw myself from a third person point of view. My frown deepened as I remained looking outside, observing the members who are out and about their daily life in the square.Meanwhile, Luciana continued reprimanding me. “You know a pack without a Luna is weak, no matter how strong you are as an Alpha. Stop being so hard-headed and arrogant just this once!”I still didn't respond. My attention was barely on her lectures. Besides, I don't like her suggestions. I hated how all of them are making a big deal out of such vague premonitions. I’m not really much of a believer in anything spiritual.

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 176

    Third Person’s POVThroughout the major turn of events, there is one thing that is set in stone to happen—a sacrifice will be offered before the eclipse ends.There is only little time left before the eclipse hits its peak.Veronica was on her knees in front of her chained up husband when she sneaked past Jadeline who was fighting the shadow.For now, all her priorities and worries are about him.She was slightly shaking him and tapping his face awake for a couple of minutes now but he remained out of it. “Sebas—”Her attempts were cut short when a strong invisible force suddenly yanked her away from him and threw her to the ground.Veronica groaned when she felt her bones crack, hitting the stone just below the makeshift altar.“What…” Her blurry vision adjusted in the dark and she looked around.The confusion she had was answered when she saw Jadeline instantly defeated, clutching her bleeding side in pain.“Can you two brats stop complicating this?” The shadow said exasperatedly,

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 177

    Third Person's POVSebastian was running out of time.“Can't do anything now, golden boy,” the dark entity suddenly spoke in his head. “You can watch your little wife die before you pass on too,” it cackled.“I will save her from you and then I will kill you,” he replied inside his head, where his consciousness still lies awake, locked up.“Save her from me?” the shadow replied incredulously. “Please, you're just as much of an evil being like me. What are you saving her for?”“The role of a hero does not suit you Sebastian,” it added with amusement in its voice. “It's the opposite you're born for. You have to learn and accept that.”It laughed loudly inside his head too. Sebastian wanted to rip his ears off to tune it out.“Stop living in delusion of some fairytale of your own,” it said with a smile you can hear from its words.“You are cursed.”He looked at his hands. Bloody, stained. Not from battle, but from clawing at his own skin, trying to rip out the shadow crawling beneath. H

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 178 (Part One)

    Veronica’s POV“You really are the most selfish man I’ve ever known.”I stared at Sebastian like he was insane—no, he has actually gone mad. “Do you know what you are asking me?”It's like I'm hearing a big joke. I still find it hard to believe that I heard it correctly. It was preposterous. I couldn't understand.I don't want to understand.My emotions were a whirlwind. I feel like I'm being played continuously by everyone. Even him.Sebastian's hands on my shoulder tightened. He looked torn. “Veronica, you don’t understand—”“You’re right,” I cut him off. “I don’t understand!”“It doesn’t make sense!” I pushed his hands off me and stare into his eyes. “Why would you say that? We’ll be able to find a way! Together. Your attacks are working on him and so do mine! We just need to figure it out and we’ll stop the ritual like we planned and the curse… we’ll—”“I told you I don’t have time!” Sebastian yelled making me freeze.His eyes looked guilty and broken.It's like he has made up his

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 178 (Part Two)

    Veronica’s POVI have fallen in love with Sebastian.I’m not sure when it exactly happened or how. But somewhere along the way, during the time when I was convincing myself to carry nothing but hatred, he sneaked his way in.I never recovered.Sebastian’s expression is hard to read, just that it shocked him. It wasn't really a full confession but he understood what it meant for me to say that.Because I never planned on loving someone again. But I did, anyway.“I’m sorry, baby…” he whispered words I hated to hear. An apology is not what I want from him.Sebastian closed his eyes and slowly pulled me to him. He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead. His hands were cold and were trying to cling to me tightly.I held back a sob. I knew what his reaction meant. Another apology came after.“I’m sorry,” his voice shook and he pulled me closer. It broke my heart.Because even with all this, he hasn't changed his mind. He refuses to change his mind. He has already made his final decision.I st

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 187

    Trigger warning: This chapter containers implied harassment. Read at your discretion.**Veronica’s POVThe chamber was immediately in chaos. The atmosphere inside was filled with their panic.I remained beside Sebastian, poised and composed, while the elders of the pack—the ones who once easily discarded me despite all the work I did for them—watched from their carved wooden chairs.Colton sat at the head. His lips were curled in a neutral line, but his eyes flickered with disdain. At his side, Ruby, looked as fragile and sweet as ever amidst her obvious alarm and confusion.I don't know if it's because I've seen her true colors now but it was easier to see through her acting. Either that, or she's losing her only talent.Sebastian told them in detail, “During our kingdom’s recent investigations, we discovered remnants of dark magic—traces that led us to a disturbing truth.”I continued his explanation, “We discovered planted obsidian shards: enchanted, corrupted, and powerful—was fo

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 186

    Veronica’s POVIt feels like I have lived a hundred lifetimes since I last stepped in Eviera.My previous visit was during Colton and Ruby’s wedding, which was cathartic when I look back at it. It's also when I first made my move against them.Time passes by so quickly. A lot of things happened.“Eviera is not expecting and accepting any guests—” the guard of the borders didn't finish his words when he realized the crest of our carriage.Then, we pushed the curtains of our window away to speak with him.“Alpha Sebastian of Helios,” he greets and then locks eyes with me. I think I’ve seen him around before, when I was still queen of Eviera so I understood the shock of his reaction, gulping in my presence.I guess my bad reputation in the pack remains.“L-luna Veronica of Helios,” he greets me too.The other guard beside him moved so that they could bow together to us. I assumed this second guy was a superior of his.He then tells us, “I apologize for the rudeness Your Highnesses but ha

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 185

    Veronica’s POVRevenge won’t give me peace but it will give me satisfaction.I killed Jadeline with my own two hands. If I wasn't that corrupted before, I'm forever tainted now. So I chose to see it through to the end.At least then, I’d have my conclusion. I could really shed the skin of my past without any attachments. I’ve done the worst anyway, might as well finish the job.“Remind me to not make an enemy out of you,” Sebastian gave me an amused smirk as he leaned on his chair.I raised a brow at him and grinned. “Like you’re not as diabolical.” He only responded with a hearty laugh.Perhaps the reason why we belong together is we accept the darkest, ugliest parts of one another.Today, I’ve made up my mind on how we can close this chapter of our lives—the ritual, the demon, the curse, and Jadeline. It took me some time before I could come up with something that covers all the tangled webs left behind. It's not wise for the truth to leak. A lot of people, even other packs and t

    Sebastian’s POV“Veronica?” I called out in the darkness of the night. I patted her side of the bed and it was empty.I got up in haste, eyes glowing to check the surroundings and instantly stepped out to look around. Then, I remembered our mating bond.With that, I sensed her presence easier than before and I knew exactly where she was. What she's feeling and if she's okay. My feet brought me to the open balcony of our chambers.“There you are,” I murmured, only feeling relief when I really saw her in the flesh, despite the bond we share.Lately, I’ve known fear. Perhaps this is the result of recent events. I don’t think I’d ever forget what fear is anymore. She was wrapped in a silk robe, the breeze brushing her skin as she stared over the moonlit horizon. Her scent was carried by the wind, calming me in a way no other ever could.Her silhouette looked breathtaking. “Ah, yes. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up,” Veronica answered, looking at me over her shoulder with a smile.I’v

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 183

    Veronica’s POVNothing happened.Or at least, that’s what we told the rest of Helios when they started coming back to the territory. We spent the last few days cleaning the traces of the ritual and the chaos that happened while also recovering from our wounds and letting reality sink in.Tonight was a starless evening. The moon was hiding behind the clouds and the storm has calmed down into a soft chilly winter. The wind stirred my clothes, carrying a refreshing breath of air. The sound of the nearby falls could be heard.I was standing by the river’s edge, somewhere near the altar from nights before. I watched the raft float away from me, in the center of the stream, the crackle of the flames consumed the wrapped body that lay atop of it. There were no flowers, no offerings, no runes etched into the wood. Just the body—hers— and the silence on an ordinary wooden plank.It had been five days. Five days since I killed her with my own hands, with the blade she gifted me, because of the

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 182

    Veronica’s POV “What’s the point of breaking the curse if I lost him?” The three siblings were standing around me as I knelt beside Sebastian’s body. Nolan said that from what he read, if the obsidian crystal reacts to him, that means that the demon’s host still lives—and yet minutes dragged on with no signs of him waking up. Luciana said it was time to accept it. But I can’t. How could I? I looked at the dagger I was still holding. My vision became blurry thinking about the life I took with it. I’m still soaked in their blood. His blood… At that moment, I was seriously thinking of ending my life, to follow him—to feel the pain I’ve caused him. But isn't that an easy way out for my sin? The punishment best suited for me is to live with the guilt and loss forever. “Veronica, you did what you had to do,” Luciana told me, hand on my shoulder. “Sebastian asked for it. There was no other way.” I replied with nothing. My grip on the hilt tightened. I felt another taste of anger in

    Third Person’s POVUnder the red moonlight, is the sight of the tragedy.Three figures emerged from the woods, all with barely healing injuries. Snow crunched beneath muddied boots, the sound cutting through the strange stillness that hung tensed over the clearing.The moonlight has returned, seeping little by little through the clouds, no longer veiled by the eclipse. Midnight has passed. The moon’s soft glow fell upon the ruined ritual circle—blood-soaked stones, broken altar, and the scent of black magic long burnt out. In the center of it all, slumped on the ashen ground, the Alpha—Sebastian lay unmoving. And beside him, his queen, Veronica, knelt, her trembling hands covered in blood… of not just his and her own.She wasn’t crying. Not anymore.Not after she has already poured all of her tears out.A sharp whistle broke the air.Veronica looked up sharply, eyes narrowing—guarded.From the edge of the forest, cloaked in shadow and exhaustion, the Rozeiros siblings came to light

    Warning: Graphic depiction of violence.**Veronica’s POV“You think I can’t do it?” All I was seeing was blood and darkness as I stared at her. I didn’t have anything to direct the angry emotions I have but I remembered that if I trace the root of every problem I had, it would lead back to her… and I was reminded, woken up from drowning through the pain, to see my wrath again—the reason why I went through everything.Revenge. Revenge on Jadeline.The one who has wronged me most.“If there’s one thing I’d do tonight… I will kill you!”I lunged. A single, brutal movement.The dagger pierced Jadeline’s side.Jadeline gasped softly, her mouth curling into something between surprise and peace. She didn’t dodge even if I knew she could’ve, regardless if she was shocked or not.She just—laughed. And smiled at me, “There she is…”“My golden child.” Her hand reached to touch my face. “My dearest Veronica.”Her words made me angrier. I felt disgust crawl through my skin. I grabbed her arm an

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 180 (Part One)

    Veronica’s POVThe searing pain of Sebastian's mark settling on my skin was the most warmth I felt since this all began.I was silently crying—mating bonds may sting at first but it should be pleasurable after it seals. However, because Sebastian was stabbed and losing his life, I had to feel that same sensation too due to our new connection. I stared at him lying in front of me. As if just in slumber. Or perhaps that was just denial.“No… please,” I whispered, brushing strands of matted hair from his blood-slick face. “Didn’t you feel the black smoke leaving your body? I—I saw it… That’s the shadow right? It's gone so… you can come back. You wanted to stop it from taking you as a vessel and becoming too powerful, right? It’s gone now… you should come back too…”I choked up a sob and shook his body, “There is no way you die like this! With just a dagger! That dagger wasn’t for you! It shouldn’t be for you—no… I… how do I live with your death?” There was still no response. He remained
