Serena’s POV

The council chamber in the Obsidian capital hummed with tension as the elders reviewed the duplicate treaty under the watchful eyes of Alaric and his advisors. Penelope sat beside me. Her hand gripped mine tightly while Gale stood guard a short distance away. The days since Grey’s defeat had been a whirlwind of hearings testimonies and fragile negotiations. Liliana had been exposed fully. Her ties to the Shadow Collective were laid bare but pockets of resistance still lingered in t

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 62

    Serena’s POVBy the second morning Alaric was strong enough to sit upright against the pillows, though the healers still refused to clear him for full duty. The ashen color had left his skin. His breathing had evened. The bond between us carried less pain and more frustrated energy as he tested the limits of what his body would allow. I remained at his side through every examination and every careful sip of broth, leaving only when the physician insisted I eat something myself.Gale arrived shortly after the morning tonic was administered. He moved slower than usual, his own injuries still binding his frame, but his eyes were clear and sharp. He stopped at the foot of the bed and gave Alaric a short nod of respect before turning to me.“You sent for me,” he said.I rose and guided him a few steps away from the bed so our voices would not disturb the king while the junior healer finished noting vital signs. “I need you to look into the kitchen staff,” I told him quietly. “Specifically

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 61

    Serena’s POVThe dining room erupted into controlled chaos the moment Alaric hit the floor. Chairs scraped. Voices rose. Guards moved in from the walls while the Lord Marshal shouted for the royal physician. I stayed on my knees beside him, one hand cradling the back of his head, the other pressed to his chest where his heart still beat but too fast and too uneven. His skin had gone the color of old ash. His lips parted with every struggling breath, and through the bond I felt the sharp edge of pain and confusion as whatever had entered his system continued to work.“Stay with me,” I said, my voice low and steady even though my hands shook. “Alaric, look at me. Stay with me.”His eyes found mine for a moment. Recognition flickered there, then the effort of holding focus became too much. His fingers weakly closed around my wrist before going slack again.The royal physician arrived at a run, an older man with sharp eyes and the calm of someone who had treated kings before. He dropped t

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 60

    Serena’s POVI did not wait for morning.The anonymous note still burned in my hand as I crossed the short distance between my chambers and Alaric’s private study. The guards outside his door took one look at my face and stepped aside without a word. I pushed the heavy door open and found him standing near the tall windows, a half-finished report in one hand, the other braced against the stone sill. He turned at the sound of my entrance, the hard lines of the day’s council still etched around his eyes.“Serena.” He set the papers down immediately. “What is it?”I crossed the room and held the folded parchment out to him. My voice came out steadier than I expected. “This was slid under my door tonight. No seal. No name. Just this.”Alaric took the note. His eyes moved over the single line once, then again. The change in him was subtle but immediate—the slight tightening of his jaw, the way his shoulders squared as if bracing for a blow he had already anticipated. He folded the parchmen

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 59

    Serena’s POVThe first full day inside the Obsidian Royal Palace taught me that marble walls had ears.I woke in the private chambers adjoining Alaric’s, the bed far too large and the silence far too complete. A maid arrived with fresh clothes tailored in the deep crimson and black of the royal household. She spoke little, her eyes carefully lowered, but when she helped me dress I caught the quick, assessing glance she gave the faint bruise still healing along my ribs. Word of the forest fight had already traveled. Everything here traveled.Breakfast was served in a smaller solar overlooking one of the inner courtyards. Alaric joined me briefly, his expression composed but distant in the way it became when the weight of the throne pressed too heavily. He kissed my temple, lingered just long enough for the bond between us to warm, then left for a closed council session that would last most of the morning. “Stay within the royal wing,” he said. “Kieran will likely make himself available

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 58

    Serena’s POVKieran’s smile was the kind that made people lean closer without realizing they had moved.He stepped forward with effortless grace, the perfect picture of a high-ranking courtier who belonged in these vast halls. Up close he was even more striking—sharp cheekbones, dark lashes, and those cold, intelligent eyes that seemed to catalog every detail of my face in a single glance. He bowed with just the right amount of respect, then straightened and offered me a look of open, almost brotherly warmth.“Lady Serena,” he said, voice smooth as polished stone. “At last. I have heard so much about the woman who managed to turn my difficult brother’s carefully ordered world upside down. I must say, the stories did not do you justice.”I felt Alaric’s tension through the bond, a low, controlled current of warning, but Kieran’s charm was immediate and disarming. He spoke as if we were already allies, as if the cold-eyed calculation I had glimpsed a moment earlier had been only a trick

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 57

    Serena’s POVBy the time the healers confirmed Gale was stable enough to leave under continuous watch, the sun had already begun its slow descent toward the western spires of the capital. Alaric made the decision without hesitation. We could not remain hidden in the medical wing forever. The council demanded a formal appearance. The court needed to see that the Obsidian King had returned with his claimed mate, the authenticated treaty, and the first fragments of a far older conspiracy.I stood beside Gale’s bed one last time before we left. His color was better, though he had not woken again since the second collapse. I brushed my fingers lightly across his bandaged hand.“Rest,” I whispered. “We’ll finish what you started.”Alaric’s hand settled at the small of my back, warm and steady. “The palace healers will remain with him around the clock. When he wakes, we will be told immediately.”I nodded, drawing a steadying breath, and allowed him to guide me from the chamber.The journey

    Selena's povIn a few minutes I was sent out of the packhouse I occupied and given a small cabin close to the woods. cabin air was stale, smelling of dust and the lingering, suffocating scent of my own misery. I was staring at the wall, tracing the cracks in the wood, when the door groaned open w

    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

  • I Became the Obsidian Lycan King’s Obsession    Chapter 4

    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
