2026-03-13 01:58:55"Pup, what pup?!" I roared from within, utterly inflamed eyes shifted between my mate and his mistress.
Liliana's face scrunched with pain as she folded over Caden's thigh, in a single breath he scooped her from the bed like she was made of ice.
"My moonlight..." He said looking into her face as he held her princess style, she reached up to cup his cheek but halfway true her hand slumped and she continued to wince.
It was all too much, I was right here and the man that was meant to be mine was fawning over this tramp!
"Caden..." I called helplessly, calling for his attention.
But he wasn't even looking at me, his eyes were all over her, with a tenderness I'd never seen.
The Caden I knew was stoic and hardened like a blade's edge. All these years I filtered through his actions convinced my affections were reciprocated, now I see what this all was.
I was never the one for him.
He just let me believe that.
Caden finally looked at me, all the tenderness in his eyes gone, replaced with staggering spite.
"You better pray to the moon goddess that no harm comes to this woman Serena, or else..." He left the rest of the threat dangling then brushed past me like I was furniture.
He was gone.
His scent fading, my heart aching and my wolf wailing.
This was not how tonight was supposed to go.
I've waited for so long, all for this?!
My feet wobbled until they caved to the stress and I collapsed in a fit of tears, mascara running as I cried myself senseless.
This was too much.
If it had been just a one night stand I would have no choice but to put my pride aside and remain by his side as his infidelity remained like a perpetual dagger lodged in my heart.
But the way he looked at her like she was life, love and everything in between. I couldn't remember when he had ever looked at me like that.
She was pregnant, and it made my heart sink deeper knowing who the father was without asking.

"Why are you still asleep?" I was awakened by a pail of ice cold water dumped over me, sending sharp shivers over my skin and forcing me to violently upright, a chill penetrating my soaked clothes.
"Belinda?" I recognized my mother in law, she stood hands crossed, behind her was a shivering servant holding a pail.
"You didn't answer my question, why are you still asleep?" She yelled at me.
Her tone shocked me, Belinda treated me like her daughter. Where was all of this anger coming from?
I stood up from the floor where I had unceremoniously fallen asleep last night, too hurt emotionally and physically to drag myself to bed.
Icy water was still dripping from my clothes to the floorboard, my surprise was slowly slipping into anger.
Had both mother and son lost their minds?
"Belinda, why would you tell a servant to dump cold water on me?"
She huffed; "because you deserve it for sleeping here while my son is in the hospital right now,"
Every singular muscle in my body went taunt, last night replayed in my head the pain of his betrayal came crushing down with me like a wave.
"Did he tell you why he was in the hospital?" I asked, barely getting the words out.
She waved the servant out of my room then turned back to me saying what shattered what was left of my world.
"I'm his mother of course he tells me everything."
I staggered back, nearly sliding off my balance but somehow managing to keep both legs planted on the floor.
"You knew?" I said the words barely a whisper. "For how long?"
"I've known from the beginning," she said without a hint of guilt in her eyes.
I ran my fingers through my wet hair digging in till I felt my scalp being scraped by my fingernails, my wolf was beginning to stir again.
"Why didn't you say anything Belinda? It's been 3 years!" I screamed at the top of my voice. She just rolled her eyes like I was overreacting.
"You had failed to live up to your responsibilities and my son considered other options, instead of being angry you should be thanking him," the ground was spinning the more she spoke.
"Thanking him? While I was here running the pack for him? Keeping everything together so it wouldn't fall apart like a stack of cards? Grinding myself to nothing? Wasn't that supposed to mean something to him?"
She waved her hand in the air like there was an incessant fly hovering around her face.
"Enough with that, I've had the lion share of the work and you contributed once in a while stop acting like I dumped everything on you,"
But you did. The thought ran through my mind. Not just her but the Beta's mate too. Everything from budgeting for the pack to meeting those stuck up elders fell to me while they were only available for get- togethers, galas and other parties that I had to arrange.
However I had never uttered a peep of a complaint, anytime I got tired I would imagine Caden's face smiling at me for the first time proud that I had been able to keep the pack together in his absence.
But turns out I've just been a fool.
"This can't be happening to me..." I said trying to sit down but she grabbed me by my arm holding me upright.
"What do you think you are doing right now?"
I looked at her, too swollen with pain to speak, only yesterday she had spoken to me kindly saying I was the daughter she never had and she couldn't wait for her son to come back and officially claim me as his mate.
She had said a variation of that over the past 3 years all of it lies.
"Leave me be!" I said too tired to even fight out of her grip, then what she said next came like a blow to my goat.
"How can you think of sitting?Get up, we're going to see Liliana in the hospital”

I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession Chapter 79
Serena’s POVThe knowledge that a second target sat active inside the palace changed the shape of every corridor.Alaric ordered the quiet watch on Kieran held at its present level so that nothing would signal a change in pressure. At the same time he opened a second, narrower line of inquiry. Full lists of household staff with extended access to the royal wing. Medical personnel who had treated either of us since the ashveil attack. Guards rotated through private door duty. Scribes who handled sealed correspondence. The work had to be done without raising the kind of noise that would tell Kieran we were looking for someone else.Paranoia settled in quietly. I caught myself measuring the pauses in conversations. I noticed which servants lingered near doors and which ones found reasons to pass the study more often than their duties required. Alaric felt the same shift through the bond. He said little about it, but the number of times he checked the locks on our private rooms increased.

Serena’s POVGale was still in the medical wing when we spread the torn ledger page under the full light of the study lamps. The physician had cleaned the cut on his temple and confirmed that the ribs underneath the bruising were cracked but not broken. He had ordered rest. Gale had given the kind of short agreement that meant he would rest only after the page had been fully read.Alaric placed the torn sheet in the center of the desk. I stood on one side. Gale sat on the other with his back straight despite the pain. The columns of dates and notations that had looked incomplete in the cellar lantern light became sharper under the steady lamps.“Begin with the Thornblood entries,” Alaric said.Gale traced the first relevant line with one finger. “Payment authorized for information on restricted herb routes. The amount matches what Belinda described. Date sits seven months ago. The notation after it reads partial success, secondary contact used.”“That matches the clerk with the gambli

Serena’s POVThe palace search began within minutes of the open window being logged.Alaric ordered every corridor in the west wing sealed. Guards moved in paired teams through storerooms, side stairs, service passages, and the lower levels that connected the residential floors to the kitchens and cellars. Lanterns flared in spaces that usually stayed dark after evening. Names were checked against postings. No one left the wing without direct leave from the king.I stayed with the central group as we worked downward. The bond between Alaric and me carried a steady, cold pressure that left no room for panic. Gale had entered the chambers. Gale had not left by the door. The open window gave a possible route to the roof, but the roof led to other windows and other drops, and every one of them was being searched.“Cellars next,” Alaric said when the upper service floors produced nothing. “Then the outer courts if we have to.”The main wine cellar sat two levels below the west wing kitchen

Serena’s POVBy the time Belinda’s formal statement had been recorded and the apothecary inventory completed, the pattern no longer left room for generous interpretation.The inventory confirmed three controlled vials missing from the restricted stores. The key log showed an after hours access under a secondary steward’s mark that the steward himself denied making. The bottle design matched palace stock exactly. Belinda’s gate search records remained clean. Her statement about Kieran’s approach seven months earlier matched the dates on the clerk’s confession from Thornblood territory. The same man who had offered gold for herb routes and sightings of Liliana had later moved ashveil into the king’s goblet and then used palace poison to frame the woman who brought us the proof.Alaric listened to the full summary in the private study after the last of the scribes had been dismissed. Gale stood near the desk with the compiled reports. I remained by the window, watching the late light fad
I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession Chapter 75
Serena’s POVBelinda Thornblood’s holding room in the lower east wing was clean, spare, and secure. A narrow bed. A table bolted to the floor. A single high window too small for escape. She rose from the edge of the bed when the guards opened the door for me, but she did not approach. The arrest had stripped away none of her composure. If anything she looked sharper for the confinement.I waited until the door closed behind me and the guards took their positions outside. Alaric knew I was here. He had not liked the visit, but he had not forbidden it. The quiet watch on Kieran was already in place. The inventory of the apothecary stores was underway. In the space between those efforts I needed answers that official questioning had not yet produced.“I did not expect you to come yourself,” Belinda said. Her voice was even. “Most people in your position would let the guards handle a woman accused of storing ashveil under her clothes chest.”“The vials were palace stock,” I answered. “You

Serena’s POVI waited until the physician’s assistant had carried the vials away and the corridor outside Belinda’s sealed chambers had emptied of all but the posted guards. Alaric remained where he was, staring at the closed door as if the wood itself might offer the next piece of the design. The bond between us carried a tight, controlled anger that had not eased since the bottle design became clear.“Walk with me,” I said quietly.He looked at me for a moment, then nodded. We took the shorter route back toward the private royal wing, avoiding the main galleries where courtiers still traded versions of the scandal around Liliana’s child. Neither of us spoke until the door of his study closed behind us and the outer guards took their positions.I set my hands on the back of the chair opposite his desk but did not sit. “The vials are palace stock. Belinda could not have brought them through the gates. The inventory of the apothecary stores will confirm how many bottles are missing and

Serena’s povBelinda gripped my arm like I had just committed a huge crime. At that moment, I could no longer recognize my mother-in-law. She was gone, replaced by a jailer. Every step down the sterile hospital hallway felt like a march toward my own execution and the clinical scent of antiseptic

Caden's pov I thought she would beg to stay. Yes. Lilliana still had to take the Luna Chambers to begin solidifying her position but I thought Serena would put up a fight, then I'd offer her the basement, a bit of dusting here and there and it would be fine. Instead she decided to be petty. St

Serena's POV Hearing your own mate talk about falling in love with another 'woman' was an out of body experience. But that was the last thing I needed to hear to completely dissolve the rest of my feelings. Instantly I was emptied of all the burning passion I had for him, and I dumped the ashes

Serena's POV "We're here to see Liliana Rosemary."Even her name sounded gentle and sweet, it didn't match the conniving image that was her. My mother-in-law grabbed my arm again leading me from the receptionist counter after we had been told where to find Lillian My mate's mistress It was such
