2026-03-13 02:05:21Serena'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 out of my heart.
"Are you serious about making her Luna?" I asked, already ready to hand it all over and be done with these people.
He tried to touch my shoulder and I shifted back so fast nearly knocking over a huge decoration plant pot.
Caden stared at his hand hanging in the air like the limb didn't belong to him. Not once in all our time together had I ever rejected his touch.
It didn't matter how burnt out, moody or depressed I was.
If he wanted it, he would have it.
But I had taken off those thick rose colored lenses, seeing him for the manipulative bastard he was.
He always told me he wasn't emotional, that his father was abusive. It hardened him. I swallowed his lie hook line and sinker only to see him handling someone else like an egg, smiling up to his ears when he held her, saying the sweetest things he always cringed at and told me were stupid.
Awkwardly he took his hand back, stuffing it in his pocket to look intentional.
"Rest easy, you still have 7 months before Liliana delivers and she'll need at least 6 months tending to the pup. Then afterwards you can train her on her responsibilities for the next couple of months which means..." He held up two digits, "I'm giving you at least a year and half to get your life together and figure out what you're going to do afterwards,"
My eyes widened so far, had he really gone insane?
"Let me get this right..." I said clasping my palms together, "you expect me to prepare her to take over my position?"
His crunched eyebrows like that didn't make perfect sense for a grievance.
"It was never truly your position because I never marked you,"
Realization hit me like a truck, he'd framed not marking me as some noble act but in truth it was meant to keep HIS options open not mine.
I had truly been a fool.
But not anymore.
Now I had a plan.
"If you want me to help, then I will for old times sake."
••••••••
"I'll kill him with my bare hands!" Gale, my personal guard from my home pack Howlfall growled from the bottom of his throat leaving a hole in the wall. "How dare he disrespect you...How..." His eyes rested worriedly on me softening up, "How can you be so calm, my lady?"
"Why wouldn't I be? Everything is working out for me, isn't it?" I said carefully inspecting my jewelry box, I wouldn't be taking much but this was definitely coming along.
"But my lady that pig has smeared your name by mindlessly spreading his seed, how are you not affected? How will you stand staying here for so long watching them being all over each other?"
"I won't," I said sitting in front of my vanity. "Tending to a mistress? What a joke. I will be out of this place before the next full moon, three weeks from now."
A smile found his lips then it fell back down.
"But my lady it's still isn't fair you have given so much for this pack, for you to leave empty-"
"Gale, I won't be leaving here empty handed." I corrected it quickly.
Not after all I'd sacrificed.
Caden had shot himself in the foot and he didn't know it yet.
I stroked through my hair, it was dry and a dull blonde like hay, my eyes sunken and my skin pale. Not had I given my body to this pack but also my heart.
And yet it still wasn't enough.
"I want this message I'm about to give you to be sent through a communication crystal." I told Gale to still inspect my jewelry box and set it down. I came over and whispered everything in his ear.
The man who was built like a brick wall shifted from one over to the other with uncertainty coating his eyes.
"My lady, I know you're desperate but-"
I doubted myself for a second.
"I have to do something Gale."I said with a note of finality, "you're right. I am desperate and desperate times call for-"
I was interrupted by my door swinging open. Belinda stomped in with two burly guards in tow, she didn't regard me for us before sending them to my closet.
"Stop right there, you can't just come barging in and-"
"My son said it's okay, besides Liliana needs to feel comfortable. Pack doctor says she has a high risk pregnancy and we can't have you here triggering her,"
She spoke without even looking at me, as if I was so dismissable I didn't deserve that.
Gale was boiling beside me, but a glance from me was enough to make him sheath his claws albeit reluctantly.
I knew if I let him run wild it would be more of a loss, at least for now.
"If you want me out of this house then I'll leave but I would prefer if I was the one packing my things,"
She looked at me with a scoff.
"And give you an opportunity to steal? Not a chance!"
I watched the guards ransack my room like I was a common criminal, they broke and damaged several things. I didn't react, they were all replaceable but then Belinda took my jewelry box declaring loudly.
"This belongs to the Luna of Thornblood," her eyes were like needles, "it might be your family heirloom, but it should stay with whoever holds the title don't you agree?"
She looked at me waiting for a reaction, that almost got it out of me but I remained calm even as I left to stay in the Thornblood Cabin with my messily packed bag.
She, her stupid son and that shameless mistress had no idea what was coming for them.

I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession A New Kind of War
Serena’s POVIn the days that followed, the palace learned a different kind of quiet.Not the brittle peace that had settled after Kieran’s imprisonment, when too many questions still lived in sealed files and unfinished roads. This quiet was heavier and more honest. It had blood on the inner hall floor behind it, an empty bassinet in recent memory, and a truth large enough that neither kingdom could pretend the border still protected them from each other.Alaric and I made the decision together on the second night, with Elara asleep between us and the bond open in the dark.“We do not bury this,” I said. “Not again. Secrecy is what let the Final Watch grow into a strike team and what let someone older than Kieran work against the seal while every house watched the wrong threats.”“Agreed,” Alaric said. His hand rested over Elara’s back, a continuous confirmation that she was still present. “Honesty, then. Controlled, deliberate, and wide enough to deny the next faction the advantage

Serena’s POVVess was moved to deeper isolation under a combined guard of Obsidian blades and the matriarch’s loyalists. No one trusted a single chain of custody with a man who still believed murdering a child was a form of maintenance. Alaric gave the orders for the inner hall to be cleaned and the wounded tended, then turned the full weight of his attention toward the northern presence now standing inside our walls by necessity rather than invitation.The matriarch herself arrived before the next full day had burned out.She came with a smaller escort than her rank might have justified and with Elder Mirek already under restraint in the north, a fact Gale confirmed in a short private report before the formal meeting convened. The Final Watch had been cut hard at its command root. What remained were believers, scattered logistics, and the ideology Vess had spoken into our side chamber like a curse that expected to be thanked.We met in the private council room rather than the great h

Serena’s POVThe bar on the connecting door held for less than a minute before Liliana moved.“If he falls in that hall while we listen through wood, your daughter still dies the next time a quieter team arrives,” she said. She was already at the bar. “You can detain me after. Or you can use every blade still willing to keep the Final Watch away from that cradle.”Belinda looked at me. The captain of the escort hesitated between Alaric’s last order and the sound of steel on steel through the door. Elara shifted against my chest and made a small unbroken sound that decided more than any argument.“Open it,” I said. “Liliana goes out first under Belinda’s watch. The rest hold this room as the last fall back. If the hall is lost, this door seals again and does not open for anything except Alaric or Gale.”The bar lifted. The door swung into a hall that had already become a killing ground.Alaric was still on his feet at the center of it. Two of the Final Watch were down. A third was acti

Serena’s POVWe did not have the luxury of a full reckoning in the abandoned holding room.The horn from the upper inner hall sounded again, closer and more specific. Alaric issued orders in a continuous stream while one hand remained at my back, as if contact alone could keep Elara from disappearing a second time. Half the team peeled upward toward the contact call. The rest closed around us for the climb out of the servant levels. Liliana was placed between two guards without chains only because she still might be useful and because carrying a restrained prisoner through a live breach was a stupidity none of us had time to commit.“You will walk,” Alaric told her. “You will answer every question I put to you while we move. If you deviate one step from the line, the asylum conversation ends permanently.”“I already told you the part that matters,” Liliana said. She kept pace without struggling. “Final Watch team. Outer grounds after nightfall. Nursery pattern. I moved the child befor

Serena’s POVThe fortified wing became a machine of controlled panic.Orders moved faster than explanations. Teams poured into the opened wall spur with lamps and blades. The outer approaches of the palace sealed under secondary lockdown. Every nurse, guard, and servant who had held a shift near the nursery in the last day was pulled into questioning before fear could turn into rumor and rumor into a second failure. Alaric stood in the center of it like a fixed point of fury, the bond between us stretched so tight it hurt to breathe through. I remained beside the empty bassinet longer than anyone liked, as if the shape of the cloths might still reverse itself if I refused to look away.“No blood,” Gale’s second repeated for the third time as reports came up from the run. “No torn cloth on the first junction. No sign of a struggle beyond the initial lift. The guards were dropped with a contact toxin on the neck, precise and fast. Whoever entered knew the release sequence for the spur a

Serena’s POVThere was no time left for the northern court’s careful rituals.Alaric went to the matriarch while the rest of us prepared the horses. He did not ask for a full audience. He put the Final Watch’s independent strike in front of her as a fact already in motion and gave her the only choice that mattered. Help contain the faction at its source, or watch her blood laws become the banner under which a foreign heir was murdered. When he returned to the guest walk, the bond carried both fury and a thin, hard cooperation.“She will move against Mirek’s people inside these walls,” Alaric said. “Gale stays to help her cut the command lines and stop a second team from leaving. We ride for Obsidian now. If we wait for her court to finish purifying itself, we will arrive to a grave.”Gale accepted the assignment without argument. “I will send word if the northern routes can still intercept anything behind the first team. Do not slow for messages that do not change the road under your

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
