Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 9
Veronica’s POV Time passed and Red Eyes didn’t visit for a while until tonight. I was glaring at him as he stood in front of me. I had my arms crossed over my chest. He stood tall. Probably around a ridiculous height of 6’5 ft. It was an estimate. He was wearing long sleeves that hugged his skin. It was annoying. He knows he has a good figure, broad shoulders, strong biceps, hard muscles— I cleared my throat and rolled my eyes to avoid my gaze. The lamp looks really interesting, I never noticed. And okay, let’s just say he is distracting. Annoyingly. Really annoying. Maybe because I haven't seen him in a while. “Such a warm welcome,” he jests and moves to catch my line of sight. I continued avoiding him. “Why are you here?” I asked in a harsh tone and turned my back on him. For some reason, I started fixing the pillows on the bed. Its pillowcases are creased and I was smoothing them out. He is disturbing me. “You missed me?” I flinched when I felt him standing very close behind

Sebastian’s POV Taking in a rejected Luna from an enemy pack is madness, they told me. I didn't care. “She'll be arriving at our borders today.” I ran through the forest heading to the Grand Border in my shifted wolf form. Her scent was wafting through the air even from a distance. I know she is near our territory. In reality, the scent was barely there, it’s not something that can be picked up easily but I could. After all, even compared to the heightened senses that all werewolves have, mine is more advanced than ordinary so I could pick up her scent from miles away despite the wolfsbane that should’ve hid it. For this treaty, the Helios clan actually has no obligations to meet with the Eviera pack. They are the ones who offered, who needed this. So such trivial matters do not require the Alpha as an established hierarchy between our packs. We are not on the same level. But I couldn't stay in place. She's here. From afar, across the river and under the moonlight, I saw them

Sebastian's POV “Boiled virgin rabbit soup from the Highlands of the South?” I threw my head back laughing. Veronica always keeps on surprising me. I can’t predict her antics. “She's insane,” comments Eamon. “She's lovely,” I said. He looked at me like I just grew two heads. I shook my head with a smile which weirded him out more. I am not a very smiley person by nature. I do smile, just not as easily as lately, not for the small things too. My smile is usually reserved after a good hunt or a winning duel. Yet these days, I keep smiling over mundane things. I stood up, massaging my neck and stretching, “I’d hunt one.” “What?” Eamon exclaimed in bewilderment and protest. “You know she's just messing with us, right? She even changed her request to—” “Watch your words,” I warned with a growl, glaring at him. “Sorry, Alpha,” he bowed his head in submission. “I have matters to tend to anyway,” I responded dismissively, “I’ll bring Aren with me. You told her about the pack dinner a

Veronica's POV It sting me like another betrayal. I was in over my head and forgot why I was exiled here in the first place, forgot that I had no one to trust. “You can never leave here, Veronica.” His words echoed in my mind. I knew that he was probably tasked to oversee me. That it means nothing for him every night he sneaks in my room. I knew that he would side with his pack. That it will be his priority and not me. We were not friends or anything. I just hoped… a little. The random kindness and care seeped into me somewhere along our nights together. I tried to deny it. But the truth is, I have been lonely, empty, and somber for a long time now. The bits of attention somehow became my oasis to quench this unending thirst for someone. Something, anything, I can hold onto. For a second there, it was red eyes that were my anchor. Yet reality is cruel. He is just like them. He does not side with me. I am alone. As always, I am alone. I curled on the bed and squeezed my e

Veronica's POV I will drag them to hell with me. The white invitation card crumpled as I fist my hand so hard. I wanted to scream and break everything around me. My anger was blinding, my vision almost turned black but all I could see was red. I want them to bleed. I want them on their knees. I want to take them apart. I want to destroy their lives. Destroy it even worse than they destroyed mine. And I will. I will destroy them all. Leaving it all behind? Escaping to find my peace away from them? No. Not anymore. That was foolishness once more. I am no longer a fool. I will not become a fool again. I would have my revenge on them. Ripping the invitation I had in hand, I threw it in the trash. I have to come up with a plan to exact my vengeance. My current state is pathetic. A dethroned Luna, rejected, exiled, and was offered to an enemy clan. The Helios pack. The strongest pack in the North. Eviera will never be able to defeat Helios. And that will be my key. I have to

Veronica’s POV There is an upcoming banquet. “Am I allowed to go?” I asked Eamon who I was staring at from the mirror. He was standing straight behind me as I brushed my hair in front of the vanity table. He had his hands clasped together in his back. From his reflection, I saw how he drew an exasperated sigh, like he is tired of his job description. I can’t blame him. I’ve been kinda giving him a hard time after he told me that the Alpha declined to see me. “Yes, you have been invited,” he said. I shrugged then uttered, “Oh I don’t know. I wasn’t sure because the Alpha might not want my nobody presence there.” Eamon was on the brink of exploding. He is a stoic and calm man but his patience is running out on me. I could feel a little bad. Poor him, I had no one to lash out to aside from him. Well, it is his Alpha’s fault for being rude. “You are expected to attend,” he uttered with finality and headed out. I sighed to myself and sinked in the chair once I heard the door closin

Veronica's POV The evening banquet of the Helios pack is huge. Apparently, it is a monthly celebration that is a tradition for them. The giant banquet is held to celebrate their good hunts. They also reward their best hunters so the whole pack is always looking forward to this party. It is encouraged to dress up with a big feast prepared. Everyone in Helios will attend, even their officials. I was hit with the realization of how rich and strong the Helios pack is. It is one thing to hear about it but a whole different experience to witness it firsthand. “You look beautiful, Miss,” Analynn my wavy hair on the sides and looked at me in front of the body size mirror. “Thank you. You two were a big help,” I answered and beamed at her. I wore a flowy white fairy dress with long sleeves and a bow ribbon at the front. It was an inch above my knees. I opted for a clean color like white with minimalist designs to make it look effortless and not over the top. I also decided to keep my hai

Veronica’s POV The howl came from the back of the mansion. Eamon was quick in his feet, alerted. A bloom of emotion rose in my chest at that familiar howl. I still remember the first night when I saw those red eyes and the call for the moon that he yelled. There was a foreboding feeling in the back of my mind. Did something happen? I didn't want to worry but I almost stood up from my seat. I need to act normal and it’s not like it is my business yet my eyes still followed where the howl came from and I felt my stomach flip in a surge of emotions. Eamon turned to Isolde, “Take her back to her room,” he commanded her and Isolde quickly nodded. I realized that he was pertaining to me. My brows furrowed in confusion as I protested, “Wait. Wha—” Isolde was already standing up and holding me by my arm, “Let's get you inside, Miss.” She was wearing a serious look and making my intuition go off. “No,” I said with a sharp look at her, “What is happening? Why should I be rushed inside?”

Veronica’s POV “The saintess tears necklace,” I read from the page of the archived books, “It is said to carry the souls of each generation of the servants.” I looked at Sebastian who was staring at the illustration I was pointing at. It was the exact copy of the necklace he had gifted to me. “You have great luck. I can't believe you found this!” I exclaimed in astonishment, holding the necklace up and examining it. This just answered why I seemed to have a fascination about this particular jewelry. I wasn't imagining the way it felt so right and closer to me. Sebastian stood straighter and put his hands on his hips before staring at me, “I won't call it luck,” he mutters. I tilted my head in confusion at his response. He gave me a serious expression and elaborated, “I think the necklace found its way back to you,” he turned the book around and pushed it to me, tapping on the excerpt from a page. It reads: ‘The pendant, a manifestation of the muses’s souls, seeks its next own
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 126
Veronica’s POV“Tonight, we share not only our bountiful resources and hunt but also the strength that binds us as a kingdom and as a pack,” I begin as I stand at the head of the hall. All eyes were on me and my voice echoed for everyone to hear.“Please feel free to come to the palace if you ever face hardship during these times, the castle doors are open and will welcome you,” I continued while looking around the gathered pack members, officials, and common folk seated with their goblets at the tables.The room was filled with eager and appreciative energy which only pushed me to become more confident in my words, as I assure each person, eyes scanning and holding eye contact to some, “No one among Helios will face the winter alone and we will weather t

Veronica’s POVI didn’t know when the word mother became a blurry line for me.When I close my eyes and try to picture her, it’s two faces I see. One of a woman I can’t remember, and one of a woman I have learned to hate.“You have been awfully quiet since the last time you dreamwalked,” Sebastian suddenly broke the ice in our dining table. I looked up from where he was sitting across from me. His gaze didn’t leave me while I torture the meat on my plate with a fork as he asked, “Are you okay?”It’s a question I have been asking myself too.Honestly, I don’t know how I feel anymore.

Veronica’s POV“This is Lady Jadeline’s brooch that you have asked for, Your Highness,” Eamon slid the small brooch across the table and I grabbed the golden thing to inspect.The task I have given them during the Winter Trade Summit was to steal something she owns and has worn. Basically, a piece of clothing that can go unnoticed. After our debacle that same night, something as small as a brooch in her dress won’t be that suspicious to lose. We can’t take something that she will spot missing.I’m glad they managed to work out and sneaked one.“Thank you,” I told him and added, “Also Eamon…”&ld

Veronica’s POV“How did you get this spellbook?” I asked both in awe and bafflement while I looked at Keldor with utter surprise.I have given up the thought of ever getting my hands on it because of what happened. I was just hoping that it was so lost even Jadeline herself wouldn’t find it. This is an unforeseen outcome. But a good one at that.“The book showed itself to me,” Keldor answered while he sat on the edge of our bed as per my instruction because he was still gravely injured.Sebastian and I stared at each other because of his reply, confused and clueless.Keldor noticed it and elaborated, “I found it among the piles of

Veronica’s POV“Have him treated by the healers immediately,” I hop off the back of Sebastian’s wolf and aided Soren in taking Keldor away.We arrived at the back of the palace to avoid making a commotion in the kingdom. It’s where we initially agreed to meet after. It’s already morning, as I estimate, because the sun is already up in the blue sky.Isolde and the others welcomed us. She followed along Soren and Analynn to attend to Keldor.Eamon stayed behind to check Sebastian and I. He tried to approach me as I wobbled in my place. I'm a bit dizzy due to exhaustion.We traveled nonstop for hours in the middle of a snowstorm. My injuries are

Warning: Graphic depictions of violence**Sebastian's POVI was no longer half human in the middle of my raging violence.My wolf has been suppressed for a while now. I don’t dare shift because I know that it would be hard to regain control once I do. While it is an extension of myself, under the curse, it brings out the worst in me.I feel like I am sinking in an endless pit. I can see what was happening but I feel distant and out of touch. It’s like watching real time from an outsider point of view.‘More. I want more.’ The wolf in me was filled with these dark intentions.My giant black wolf form pounced on another lycan going after me. There were around a dozen of them attacking me.Just moments ago, I was standing alone waiting for Veronica outside the chapel when I sensed movements.“Who’s there?” I looked around, vision heightened to scout my surroundings.The figures appeared from behind the trees and piles of snow. They look different, is what I first noticed. Their eyes wer
Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge Chapter 120
Veronica’s POV“You dabble with dark magic?” I exclaimed, my voice raising after I recovered from the initial shock and fear.The figure of the shadow merged with the darkness behind her so it was less eerie. However, there is still the obvious aura of the shadow dancing around her.“This is a whole level of low even for you, Jadeline!” I exclaimed and clutched the armrest of where Keldor was still tied.Dark magic is forbidden for all creatures. It corrupts the user and it topples the balance of nature. The user will forever carry its repercussions. This kind of ability always asks for something in return, double of what it has given— that is why it can perform great feats.The consequences are vile and not worth the risk.I knew she was doing something dubious. She has been manipulative from the start so I wouldn't be shocked by the lengths she would go through.Or at least that's what I thought.I didn't see this coming, not even in my wildest imagination.“It’s not dark magic, dea

Veronica’s POV“It’s been a while, dear. It's nice to see you again,” Jadeline greeted with a wide smile on her face. Her voice made my skin crawl.“Let's drop the niceties,” I spat and held my head high, “We’re here for business.”Jadeline laughed, “Ever so serious, Veronica. I like how dutiful and responsible you are,” her eyes scanned me from head to toe, “I see you haven't changed.”“You're not fooling me,” I replied and my hands balled into fists on my side.She gave me a light smile and gestured to follow her as she stepped towards the door, “Alright. Let's head inside if you're so eager to finish this already.”I walked to follow her. Sebastian moved from where he stood in silence, about to trail behind me.Jadeline's attention easily shifted to him. Then back to me, she said, “Leave your guard dog here. I don't enjoy being threatened if we're to negotiate for your little spy later.”Sebastian snarled at her comment, “Watch your words, woman.”I turned to him and spoke, “Sev, w
