Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 22
Veronica’s POVDuring my first marriage, it was my stepmother who decided everything about my wedding.Whether it was my gown, the flowers, the theme, the cake, and even the invited guests. I had no choice but to follow her anyway. I didn't want to start any issues back then and I wanted her to be happy. After all, I went through that marriage for her. Just to please her. Because she told me it is what's best for our family.I still regret it until today.“I think I’ll pick the off-shoulder sweetheart neck gown,” I bit my lower lip as I pointed to the design shown to me. “Wonderful choice, Miss!” The lady smiled at me and bookmarked the page.Browsing the catalog was overwhelming and I was so indecisive. All the gowns were beautiful, I wish I could wear them all at least once. Although I just kept that last thought to myself. If Sebastian gets wind of it, it might start giving him ideas of holding a wedding over and over until I have worn everything shown to me.I almost laughed to m
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 23
Veronica’s POVI prepared myself for some disapproving reactions from the Helios pack.It just makes sense that they would be wary of me and might even dislike that I was chosen. I guess it didn't really sink in to me as much outside my awareness because I was in a bubble of people who respect and like me here. I was under Sebastian’s protection.Now that he is not around, I could notice a bit of resentment and grudges towards me.Of course they cannot act on it though, especially as I am guarded all the time. Maybe this is why Sebastian fully assigned Isolde and Soren to me.It started as subtle as a slightly askewed plate on the dining table. Barely noticeable that I simply thought that it was a mistake. After all, the dishes served to me were perfect and with a lot of choices. I was dining alone. Isolde was out checking the staff and people that would accompany us to Eviera tomorrow. Soren was tasked to inspect the carriages we will use while Analynn prepared my clothings and other
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 24
Veronica’s POVI have lived many lives for other people.There was this crave for approval that has always weighed on my shoulders. I have always felt like people tolerating me is only conditional. I have to be useful and I have to offer something to them so that they would keep me around. I don't know where it started. I don't know when it could end, I still carry it with me until today.Back when my father was still alive, our relationship was okay. We were a bit closer before Jadeline and Ruby. Somehow we stopped being as close after his second marriage.I didn't wanna harbor anything against him. I liked that I would have a mother around and a sister too. But after all this, sometimes I wonder whether he just wanted to replace my mom and me.During his second marriage, father became busy with pack matters I still cannot fully understand back then. All I know is that it was important to him. So important that it consumed his time.I wanted to enter that world of his. That's why eve
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 25
Veronica’s POVHome sweet home— or so I’d like to say.The entrance to the Eviera territory was decorated with an arch. There were a lot of people around, guests from the other packs and more. They probably invited everyone in the North. It's a tradition. An Alpha and Luna’s wedding must be grand. It tells the status of their pack and their political power at the same time.It almost takes me back to my first wedding. The decorations are quite exactly the same, it's a little unnerving if I dwell on it.Somewhere in the back of my mind, a voice whispers in me that it's as if the only thing they changed this time was the bride.Sebastian’s arm around my waist tightened and pulled me back from my observations. He leaned towards my ear and whispered, “You okay?”I leaned on him and hummed, “Hm, yeah. I’m doing good.”I didn't reciprocate his gaze and it's not like he can meet mine with what I’m wearing. I had to hide my identity for now, since the wedding had a short window of waiting for
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 26
Veronica’s POVThe wedding march sounded like a funeral song during both times I stood in front of the chapel door.In Eviera, there is a church where weddings of the Alpha and Luna are always to be held. It was a tradition in the pack so naturally, this is where the ceremony will happen. While standing outside, my mind keeps going back and forth between the past and the present.My first wedding was filled with nothing but a sense of duty. My hand was stiff around the bouquet, back straight with how tight the corset of my gown is. I had a veil over my face. I could only take deep breaths back then, calming myself and convincing myself that this is for the best. I want to do this.“Make me proud, Veronica.”Mother, as I used to call her, and her words kept on echoing in my mind in each passing second the walk to the altar came near. Standing here now, at the same spot, felt like deja vu. It’s like a parallel time of the nerve-wracking experience. I am less nervous now. It is ironic,
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 27
Veronica’s POV “Did I make you proud, Mother?” The question pierced through the tense air at the chapel. The guests and audience were feeding on the drama unfolding right before their eyes. But this is all between us. I turned to Sebastian for a second before meeting her stunned eyes again, “I traded for a better husband and a stronger Alpha,” I tapped my hand on his chest and beamed at her. The worst thing for them is that it was true. There is no Alpha in the North that could match Sebastian. He is in his own league. She has always wanted to use me for power and status, make me climb the ranks and bag a good Alpha that would benefit her. I just surpassed her expectations this time. I wonder what she must be feeling right now, “It’s all thanks to you.” Jadeline was lost for words. It all came down to her at once. I bet her mind is racing, trying to grasp this situation. Ruby is still deeply confused and humiliated. I think she might cry in frustration. Meanwhile Colton hasn'
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 28
Veronica’s POVLife in Helios became easier and harder at the same time after we got back from Eviera.The pack welcomed our arrival— or just Sebastian, actually. It’s an etiquette when their king is back.They were a bit more civil to me now. Not entirely accepted by the majority but less skeptic than last time. I’m sure it's probably because they heard how Sebastian treats and dotes on me.Apparently word gets around really fast here. By night time of our first day back in the territory, the wedding shenanigans were known to the whole pack. Lots of rumors have been swirling around.I wasn't sure how they would judge me for it. Whether it made my reputation better or worse, I had no time to overthink it.Even if I was still elated by everything that transpired in Eviera, and how it all fell to my favor, I knew I couldn't stay too complacent.One thing I know about Jadeline is she bites back, harder.She wouldn't just give up. I have to be ready.But again, I currently don't have any
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 29 (Part One)
Veronica’s POV The wedding day arrived in a blink of an eye. I was sitting in front of the mirror while the servants were rushing to get me ready. Someone was putting makeup on my face and styling my hair. It was a busy day for everyone. Big event too, especially for the entire Helios pack. The other night, I knew the Rozeiros family arrived. I asked Sebastian about it when we met for breakfast the morning after. “Your family is here?” I interrogated before taking a sip from my morning coffee. I saw him halt for a split second before he continued eating like he didn't hear it even if I noticed he did. He acted lost while not meeting my eyes, “What?” “I heard the trumpet last night,” I said with a stoic expression. Something doesn't feel right. “Ah,” he was still looking at his plate. He knew he couldn't deny it now, “Yeah. They heard about our wedding,” he shrugged before continuing to eat. He still doesn't look my way. “Of course, you'll be getting married so they'd know

Veronica’s POVDays have easily passed by in a blur.“I must say, I enjoy seeing you this enthusiastic,” Sebastian chuckled from behind me.“Well, it is my first time outside of our continent,” I answered, before sparing him a glance over my shoulder as I beamed at him, “Like I really am in a new land right now!”I couldn't control the evident glee in my voice. I know I seem like a child opening her holiday presents with the way I am acting but this does feel like one. Also, I am pretty comfortable gushing this way in front of him.“Oh, it’s so beautiful here Sev!” I jumped a little as I turned to look out the giant windows again and watch the bustling streets below.From where we are, the view shows the entrance and the crowd with their daily activities. I have seen creatures I have only heard about or read in the books. There was a centaur and even dwarves. I never thought I would actually see one.I looked back at Sebastian again who was walking towards me as I asked, “Can we tour
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 90
Sebastian’s POVI miss my wife.It’s literally the only thought I have in my mind right now. I wonder what sneaky naughty thing she is up to at this moment? I’m sure my sweet devious Veronica is up to no good. She cannot stay still and I actually find that cute.I could picture clearly how she would roll her eyes, pretending she hates it, but the light blush on her cheeks and the way her lips would quirk upwards a little is a traitorous habit I don’t think she’s aware of. It’s adorable. I could not stop the way I smiled to myself just thinking of her.“I’m glad you loved it, Alpha Sebastian!” Exclaimed and laughed rowdily by the suck-up king who I forgot was trying to strike a conversation with me about allying with his pack. I can’t even recall his exact name but he must have mistaken my smile as a response for whatever nonsense he was yapping about.“Sure,” I dismissively uttered in a monotonous voice, not even caring enough to correct him, and eye the hand he clasped on my shoulder
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 89
Veronica’s POVToday, I have decided to take a break on my plans… even as I find myself still busy.I relayed the task of looking for the spellbook to Keldor yesterday. However, I told him not to rush it. I don’t want him to be put into danger and become suspected if he acts too hastily.Eamon is still trying to find out how Jadeline met my father and her time as the infamous rogue. For a while, I considered asking Declan for help again, remembering how good he was at digging things up. However, I decided not to in the end. They don’t exactly know that part of my relationship with Sebastian, the whole revenge thing, and I’m not sure I want them to find out. Besides, we’re not really that close for me to ask another favor.
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 88
Veronica’s POVThe scary thing about death is that it continues to take everything from you even as time passes. It is something permanent and irreversible.I know I love my mother dearly. I still mourn for her. Despite this, she has now become nothing but a figment of my memory, a feeling I have known yet cannot fully remember. Her face is long forgotten at the back of my mind. Father burned her photographs years after grieving. I resented him silently for a while because of that. I thought it was him moving on and erasing any trace of my mom. Looking back today, I guess he couldn’t take the pain.I know she has purple eyes because we share the same unique color. I’m not quite sure if she really had long wavy hair just like mine too or I was imagining it. Turning her into a reflection of me, desperately wanting to be connected to her. As years go by, I become less and less certain of what she was like. I just know she loved me. I just know that I will forever yearn for that love. I
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 87
Veronica’s POV “Keldor, I need you to calm down,” I said in a slow pace to get through to him. He looks like he's on the brink of a panic attack from where I was watching him in my crystal, “Breathe,” I coaxed. He seemed to listen and took sharp intakes of air. He gasped for a couple of seconds before I spoke again to keep his mind occupied. “Now, are you okay?” I asked. He was rushing with his words, running, when he made the call to us. I was scared for a moment thinking something bad happened to him then he started rambling. Keldor slowed his breathing and got his composure little by little, “I’m fine,” he said. More to himself than to me. “Did anyone see you? Are you sure no one is looking for you now?” I continued and observed him closely. His eyes were darting around then he seemed to sit down. “Yeah, yeah,” he cleared his throat and wiped a hand over his face. “Okay,” I responded and shifted into my firm voice. I bet he hates to show vulnerability so I would act norm
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 86
Third Person’s POVKeldor hasn't stayed in one place since he was born.He was an unwanted illegitimate child of an upcoming Alpha from a pack in the West. His mother died giving birth to him. Because of this, he was orphaned at a very young age.Ever since then, he has always been an outcast for his entire life. No one wanted him in their pack. He was shunned and uncared for, loitering at the territory with no house willing to accept him.Despite all this, he survived.It's not like he was particularly trying to live… he just somehow did. He wakes up every morning because his eyes still open. Not like he was looking forward to days to come. He remains breathing and so time passes by.He was born to this world lost and without a place to belong.“Darkness is not your foe,” Luna Veronica says, the first lesson she taught him. It was during the training session when they begin in the evening. “It is your ally,” she adds.“As werewolves, we are servants of the moon,” she surrounded him a
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 85
Veronica’s POV “I'll be going now,” Sebastian says as he drops me a kiss on top of my head from where I was sitting on the couch. I hummed in response and stretched my legs, the cloth slipping a little on this cold morning. The weather is slowly showing signs that the heavy winter of the North is just around the corner. “See you at dinner?” He asked and I nodded, giving him a glance and a smile before my attention was back on the envelope I was checking the front and back of. Isolde delivered me this envelope earlier, just in time when we woke up. She said it arrived around dawn. I waved Sebastian goodbye as he headed towards the door. “Try and not give anyone a hard time just because you feel like it, today, alright?” I said, teasing, at the last minute before I looked at him from where I was on the couch. He's back to his daily duties today. Quite busier than usual because of the said upcoming intense winter. He laughed at my remark while he opened the giant doors. He looked

Note: The following chapter contains explicit adult content.* * * * *Veronica’s POVI don’t hate the monster in Sebastian because I actually love the idea of keeping it on a leash only I could control.This is something I have just recently come to terms with.The unmatched passion, desire, and hunger he puts in every possessive touch, every domineering grip, and every greedy grasp is a reminder that I am wanted. I am needed. It placates the anxious part of me that always fears unworthiness. “You’re so damn hot, baby,” Sebastian smiled in between our kisses and pulled a bit on my lower lip with his teeth, his hand stroking up and down my spine as I straddle him on the bed, “Fucking love how crazy you get,” he whispered and bent down to lap on the skin of my neck.I whined and looked up at the ceiling, breathless, as my fingers massaged his scalp, pressing him more to myself, the friction sending waves of pleasurable electricity within my nerves. I couldn’t help but grind on his lap
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 83
Veronica’s POVMy reputation in Helios has never been better.It has been three days since Driselle’s imprisonment. It became a big shock for the entire pack. She was pretty well-known and they all felt betrayed. From being one of the most loved members, she became the most hated in the kingdom.Word got out about the verdict I have given too. Most of them contradicted my decision, saying I was being too lenient for settling with lifetime imprisonment. Helios is known to be cruel so that makes sense. For them, execution is how they punish the majority of their criminals. They gave me a pass, though, and mostly sympathized with me saying it is probably stressing for me because she harmed my life and that I was just a forgiving person.
