Veronica’s POV

The reception was festive and lively. The entire Northern continent celebrated with us.

Sebastian and I sat close to each other. He had his hand on my lap as I leaned to him. I'm getting more and more comfortable in his presence.

Well, he is now my husband so that should be normal… right? Nothing to overthink about.

Yeah, okay. That's right. This is normal. This is not wrong. I can give myself this.

And if I crave something greedier whenever he touches me, that's only mine to keep.

The banquet was elegant and gorgeous. It was able to accommodate a great amount of our guest list. I heard there were even some attendees from the West, East, and South too. Naturally, there were a lot of faces I didn't know.

But of course, there are also those I am very familiar with.

Ruby and Colton were lining up to greet us at our table that was situated in front and on a stage of the venue. Because of our status, we're not the ones to go around the tables to thank our guests. The

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 30 (Part One)

    Note: The following chapter contains explicit adult content.* * * * *Veronica’s POVEverything happened in a blink of an eye. One second we were still at the reception, next thing I knew, I was in his arms inside his master's bedroom.His chambers were dark and there were only the two of us. Alone. It was utterly silent in the night. I imagined this room to be bigger and surely it is. Yet it still somehow feels cramped. Like it’s closing in on us, trapping us into a space where we have no choice but to close the distance between our bodies.“Hey,” Sebastian whispered. His voice sounds so

    Note: The following chapter contains explicit adult content.* * * * *Sebastian's POVI had everything I have ever desired in my hands right now— and it’s better than I have ever imagined.My palms slid to smooth on her back, feeling every inch of her and my jaw tightened as I felt her reaction from below, clenching around me.“Oh! Ah, ah!” Veronica was sobbing, face down on the pillow.My hand found her nape and I pushed her head down a bit more to the soft cushions as she continued moaning my name, “Sebastian!”I can feel my eyes darken as I felt the prid

    Veronica's POVMy body was killing me and I will kill Sebastian for this.It was the morning after our first night. The sunlight from the windows slipped between the curtains in his chambers. I could hear the day starting outside. It was probably late in the morning.I feel numb and aching all over. I was sore in a lot of places. He really did take a toll on me.His arms were wrapped around me, my back on him, and I know that he is awake by the way he tries to nip and bite my neck.“Sebastian, you know it can't work yet,” I told him in a lazy manner, the tiredness was still in my bones.He was nipping for a

    Veronica’s POVThe Northern continent is cold by nature. Almost throughout the year, the weather is just varying levels of the wintry season. Sometimes we experience summer and spring but it's very short.There is no snow right now but it's still frosty so I wore a fur-trimmed overcoat with elegant embroidery, its A-line silhouette passing below my knee as I wear high boots to walk around. In our human form, werewolves can feel chilly too. Not that I feel the chill but Analynn insisted for me to wear this.It was Isolde and Soren who accompanied and toured me around Helios after lunch. It’s my first time leaving the palace premises aside from when I was at the previous mansion where I was originally locked up and the banquet last time.

    Veronica’s POVMy head hurts from the sudden revelation.Nolan. Declan. And one more.I knew Sebastian had three older brothers but I wasn't aware that they were triplets! That prick didn't even think that it was an important detail to tell his wife.He's gonna hear about it from me later.Nolan laughed at my expression and backed away. He went to stand beside Declan, as he introduced himself, and it was jarring how similar and different they are at the same time.He grins, “Sorry for scaring you, sis. We have a thing for

    Veronica's POVThe dinner went by with nothing much going on. No conversations or small talk. Sebastian was just silent the whole time.We separated from his siblings after finishing our meal. I don't think the triplets are leaving Helios soon. I think they still have some matters to attend to here. I stopped asking. I pretty much got the message that I shouldn't meddle on this.I headed back to my room but I knew Sebastian was also following behind me. I stopped by the doors to enter but he suddenly spoke.“Aren't you gonna sleep in our chambers?” His tone was serious and his eyes were observing my reactions keenly.“Your chambers?” I looked at him over

    Veronica’s POV“Do you want to join my meeting with the Sun Council next time?” Sebastian asked as I fixed his collar. He was looking at me.“If you need me,” I answered and then smoothed his vest, “And if they will let me,” I added with a snicker before looking at his face.There was an instant scowl on his expression after my last comment. He looked offended and said, “Of course they will. Why would they not let my queen be part of the pack business?”I laughed at the way he was so easily worked up by the mention of it, “Yeah, okay,” I just relented to not have a long conversation about it, “Don’t be too harsh on them, though.”“I’m not hard on them,” he reasons and tilted his head, “They just have to listen to me.”I crossed my arms over my chest and lectured him, “Wolf councils are established for a reason, Sebastian.”“You cannot rule alone,” I poked a finger on his shoulder to emphasize my point, “A king that listens to no one shouldn’t be anyone’s king.”He stared at me with co

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 36

    Veronica’s POV Virren moonstone is also known as the moonstone of eclipse. According to the book, it is a special jewel that could harness the power of light and darkness during the veiling of Sol and Luna. The sun and the moon. It's a folktale that dates back in olden times. The illustration is exactly how I remember the moonstone that Eviera has. It might really be the real thing, if the pack protects it dearly. “What are you gonna do now?” Sebastian asked as he flopped down to our bed and I remained standing, deep in thoughts. We were back in our chambers after a quick dinner which he insisted and I took the book with me to our room. “I now know what the moonstone is,” I said more to myself than to him, “I might find who did steal it and what is their real purpose. Whether it's just really against me or there's another ulterior motive.” “Wouldn’t it make sense that it’s your stepsister who tried to steal it?” He asked me, “I mean she basically set you up.” “It’s not imposs

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 169 (Part One)

    Note: The following chapter is entirely a flashback**Jadeline’s POV“I did it for the pack,” were the first words from Rozeiros, as if trying to explain what he did to my husband.However, no amount of explanation—whether it may be just or not—could ever take away the pain of losing my mate. The moment Helian’s body turned cold, I already lost my friend and home. I have only one thing left for me. My child.I took a step forward, glaring at him and baring my claws.“That’s not what I’m asking.” I snarled. “Tell me where my daughter is!”I lunged an attack at him.I wasn’t a hunter nor a warrior. I never liked violence. I was just a healer. It was then when I regretted it. There was a big gap in our skills. He was just mostly dodging and defending himself, probably not even taking me seriously.But it works in my favor. It will be his fatal mistake to go easy on me. I have no intentions of letting him off the hook without my daughter.“I thought you were his brother,” I accused him

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 168 (Part Two)

    Jadeline’s POVThe worst thing about betrayal is that it can only be done to you by the people you treasured most.“What are you doing?!” I yell, voice cracking.Rozeiros still could not say a word. I felt my eyes slowly tearing up.“This isn't his fault, Rozeiros! He was doing it for the pack! You're misunderstanding it!” I tried to lunge at him but the pack members continued holding me back tightly.So I just continued shouting, “You know he wouldn't do something like this for no reason! You know Helian!”Rozeiros averted his gaze at me and I couldn't help but burst in betrayal.“How can you do this?!”I saw his jaw clench and hands fist but the coward did not dare meet my eyes.“Jaedelinne…” his voice trailed off. “I don't have any choice.”Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit!His words sounded like excuses. He didn't have a choice? He did! If he truly trusted Helian and what he knew about him, he wouldn't just try and kill him just like this!They knew each other longer. He knew him firs

    Note: The following chapter mainly contains flashback**Jadeline’s POVA great sacrifice—is what they called my child.My innocent child. To them, she was nothing but a sacrifice, a collateral damage. Both sides saw a helpless infant and decided that taking her life is not a big deal. As if I didn’t hold her fragile small body in my arms after I birthed her, felt her warmth and the way she lit up my world, forever changing my purpose, my being.It was only days after my marriage with Helian and our coronation when we found out that I was already pregnant for a while.The best moment throughout my entire existence was the first time I held my daughter.“She’s beautiful,” I whispered, eyes tearing up as I stared at my sleeping baby, cradling her to my chest.“She is,” Helian said and leaned closer to us. He rubbed his thumb faintly on our child’s cheek, careful to not wake her up. He dropped a lingering gentle kiss on top of my head and mumbled, “Thank you for bringing her to this wor

    Veronica’s POV“Time to fulfill your purpose, my dear.”Jadeline’s clawed hand shoved me to the ground and I was thrown off balance, crashing onto the snow-covered earth sliding backward, cold seeped into my bones while ice and frozen dirt scraped against my skin. The sting of the impact barely registered to me. I didn’t feel cold, the rage I had burned hotter and I gritted my teeth, pushed myself up to glare at the woman who threw me.I looked around. We were at the entrance towards the clearing of Helios’ waterfalls where the winter doesn’t fall. The place that once looked so magical and majestic in my eyes seemed terrifying in this light.Jadeline walked towards me and picked me up by the wrists again, yanking me forward with force. I gasped as she dragged me across the dirty ground."Let me go!" I snarled with a struggle but her grip was unyielding.Things continued passing in a blur.I couldn’t hold back my cries and sobs as I tried to escape from her grasps. However, what momen

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 166

    Veronica’s POVThe blood moon is almost devoured in half by the eclipse. Time is running out on me. I’m exhausted. I was losing my will. At some point, anger was just too heavy to carry that it made me hollow inside but this was my fault. I have no one else to blame but myself. I have let my heart lead me here.My entire life, I was just going around in circles, following someone like a pathetic dog trained and tricked to be pulled on a leash—just for a fraction of fake love. I was lonely and I clung to scraps to fill the missing part in my chest. It’s what led me to despair. It’s what led me to vengeance.Now, everything is different. I found someone who’s willing to pour me the affection I’ve been chasing all this time; more than I could take, more than I could handle.In the pits of my hopelessness, his red eyes flashed in my mind.That’s right, I still have Sebastian.I can’t afford to pity myself. He believes I am strong enough to push through this. He trusted me and isn’t that

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 165

    Veronica’s POV“How did you break free?” I choked out while I tried to remove her grip on my jaw.I need to think fast. I cannot lose the upper hand or everything would go downhill and she would turn the tables on me. Yet I can’t let her predict how I plan on getting away from her.Jadeline let out a hollow, bitter laugh. “Don’t be so full of yourself, Veronica. I would give it to you—it was a nice try but you know better than underestimate me.”“A flimsy spell of illusion won’t keep me for long.” I yelped as her claws dug into my flesh, blood dripped on my chin. I pulled on her wrist but she just gripped me tighter.Perhaps this strength is still part of the perks of her contract with the dark entity. The spell wasn’t fully completed, I wasn’t able to weaken Jadeline to her lowest. “You think I’d agree to let myself be tortured in pain for your satisfaction?” Her frenzied eyes stared into mine. Her words piqued my attention.That’s right, what triggered her sudden will that allowed

    Veronica’s POVIt was as if I’m taken back to a century ago.Jadeline’s next memory is the first great eclipse as I realized the surroundings and the sky in her vision.I felt her body freeze from where she was paralyzed in front of me, my gaze briefly checking on her before I looked around to see the memory in detail.It was her and Helian.“They will find out about this,” young Jaedelinne was agitated as she paced back and forth, fumbling with her fingers.“I’m telling you! You should just give this up,” her voice broke and she moved to hold his arm, pulling him.But Helian remained staring at the waterfalls. I wasn't sure if he’s not listening or he just can't hear her.Jaedelinne faced him even as his eyes continued to look past her. There was definitely something wrong with him. He doesn't feel like the same man in her earlier visions. It was as if he’s not in his right mind.“Helian! Helian, listen to me!” Jaedelinne said louder this time. She’s growing more anxious as she fran

    Sebastian's POVI didn’t plan on leaving Veronica to herself until I heard the fading voices and tortured sounds of my siblings. At first, I was still conflicted because we have anticipated complications like this but I had a fraction of a second to decide when I felt their fading presence.My body moved on its own and I came rushing to them.It’s as if my entire being is being pulled towards the grave danger that it detected. I felt an ominous disturbance that sent my instincts into alert. I knew this was no regular for, surpassing even what we projected.I have to trust for now that Veronica could handle herself before I go back to her.My strength has never been challenged to the point where I consider the possibility of losing. Hence, I never feared an opponent. I even So this unfamiliar trepidation that flows through my veins right now is not a good sign.It was the same case for my family, my siblings.

    Third Person’s POVWhile Queen Veronica was extracting the strength and power of her once stepmother Jadeline, on the other side of the kingdom, three figures dashed in full speed within the woods of Helios.They followed the shadow that was ripped out from the body of its host as it soared through the sky with its ominous aura.Within minutes of crossing the woods behind the main castle, faraway from the square where Veronica was at, and the waterfalls that will be the venue of the ritual, the forest finally opened to a clearing.“It’s reaching the seal, brace yourselves,” Rowan says as they draw closer and the shadow starts shooting downwards.There was a giant boulder with the carvings that the Supreme engraved last time he was in the territory. The symbols started glowing as the entity neared. “Stop!” Rowan instructs and halts in his feet with his arm extended to make them cease on their tracks too.Luciana and Nolan slowed down close behind him.
