River’s POV

I should have known.

The moment I stepped off the curb and saw the familiar broad-shouldered frame standing in front of Blue’s door, a cap pulled low over his brow, I knew my peace was about to be disturbed.

And when Ryker turned to face me, I didn’t see the wild wolf I once knew—no, I saw desperation.

Desperation pretending to be confidence.

“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked, my tone calm, controlled and every syllable deliberate.

He opened his mouth to speak, but I stepped forward, forcing him to either move or be much too close for comfort.

He moved…… Good.

“I just…” he began, and I caught the faint twitch of his jaw, “…wanted to talk.”

“Talk?” I repeated the word as though tasting it, tilting my head slightly. “That’s rich, Ryker because if I recall correctly, the last time we spoke, you didn’t seem interested in talking. You were too busy trying to decide if I was worth keeping around. Now, all of a sudden, you’ve discovered your voice?”

    Ryker’s PovZoey slammed the door behind her as she walked into the penthouse, her heels clicking against the marble floor like gunshots. “You look like hell,” she said flatly, tossing her jacket onto the couch.I didn’t answer. My eyes were glued to the city lights below, the same neon sprawl where I’d just watched her ride off with him.River was on his bike.Her arms around Orion Kane like she belonged there.My jaw tightened until it hurt.“I said you look like hell,” Zoey repeated, walking over to the bar. She poured herself a drink without asking. “Let me guess……Little Miss Firecracker was with him again?”I turned toward her, the muscle in my cheek twitching. “You knew.”She arched a brow. “Everyone knows. Half the city’s gossip feeds are drooling over the new ‘it couple.’” She made air quotes. “River and Orion, the angel and the devil. It’s PR gold.”I grabbed the nearest glass and threw it against the wall. It shattered, red wine dripping down like blood.Zoey didn’t even fl

  • Marked By Obsession    Chapter Twenty Four : Sparks In The Dark .

    River’s PovBy the time Orion parked the bike, my pulse still hadn’t settled.The city lights blurred around us, neon and rain-soaked, until the world felt like it was vibrating with adrenaline.He killed the engine in front of a quiet restaurant, not one of those glossy places filled with people pretending to laugh at each other’s jokes, but a dim, tucked-away spot that smelled faintly of cedar and expensive wine. A place that screamed private.“Get off,” he said, voice rough from the ride.I swung my leg over and stepped onto the curb, tugging off the helmet.My hair was a mess, my heartbeat worse.Orion pulled off his gloves, eyes dark as ever, assessing me like I was a puzzle piece that had shifted out of place.“Did he hurt you?” he asked finally.“No.”“Did he say anything I should know about?”I hesitated. “He said you’ll destroy me.”Something dangerous flickered across his face, quick as lightning. “He’s not wrong,” he said after a moment. “But I’m not the one he should be

  • Marked By Obsession    Chapter Twenty Three : No Drama,Just Damage .

    River’s PovThe morning after Blue left felt like a hangover I couldn’t sleep off.The silence in the apartment was suffocating. Her mug was still on the counter “No Drama, Just Tea” written in pink letters.The irony wasn’t lost on me.I stared at it for too long, trying to convince myself that she would come back, that she would knock on the door like she always did after we fought but this time… it felt different. Her words kept echoing in my head like it was addicted to chaos.Maybe she was right.I tried to distract myself, made coffee, scrolled through my phone. There were three messages from Orion, all unread.Orion: You didn’t sleep, did you?Orion: Meet me tonight.Orion: Don’t make me come find you, Little Flame.The last one made my pulse trip. He had a way of making threats sound like invitations, and that was the problem. Every time I got close to walking away, he’d pull me back with a single word.I shoved my phone into my jacket pocket and decided to get out of the ap

    River’s PovBlue was staring at me like I’d just confessed to selling my soul.Maybe I had.But damn it, for once, it was my choice.“Maybe it’s the first time I’ve ever made a choice that was mine,” I said quietly.Blue just blinked at me. Then she laughed, it was not the fun kind, but the bitter kind that stung worse than any slap.“Oh, that’s rich. You think this is freedom? Dating the city’s most dangerous wolf? River, this isn’t power, it’s suicide dressed in leather.”I flinched.“Don’t be dramatic.”“I’m being realistic!” she snapped, her voice rising. “Do you even hear yourself? You’re out here acting like you’re in control, but you’re not. You’re just another pretty face in his collection. Another name on his list. You think he’ll protect you? News flash, River, he won't. He would ruin you.”“Stop,” I muttered, but my voice came out small.“No, you stop!” Blue shot back. She stood, towering over me even though she was barely an inch taller. “I’m not going to stand here and wa

  • Marked By Obsession    Chapter Twenty One : Dancing With Fire .

    Blue’s Pov“That was insane” I yelled out as we stepped out of the club.“Shhh…stop yelling.” River scolding, while she chuckled.“That was the craziest thing ever to happen in this fucking city. I need the details of everything that happened. The how’s, the where’s. Spill the tea.” I urged.River looked around, “let's get home first.”“Your house or mine?”“Mine…” she concluded and just like that we were on our wayhome.************************Immediately we got home, I flopped on the couch while River walked into the kitchen.“Where are you going?” I yelled“Going to get some actual tea!” she yelled back which made me chuckle.I brought out my phone, as I began to scroll though it. Social media was going crazy.River’s face was plastered all over the fucking blog.Just then River walked in with a tray. It had a teapot and two cups, then the plate had some cookies.“You are fucking famous…” I announced it to her.“Tell me about it.” she said in a sarcastic voice as she dropped the

  • Marked By Obsession    Chapter Twenty : Lite The Fuse.

    Orion’s povThe bass still sounded through the club, but for me the night had already slowed into silence. My lips still tasted like her, as I remembered how she pressed her lips on mine. It was soft, uncalculated, and reckless. River had kissed me.Correction, she kissed me in front of everyone.It wasn’t supposed to happen like that. I had meant to throw Ryker off balance, shut down the whispers, make it clear to every bastard in here that she wasn’t to be touched but River? She went all in. It was bold and dangerous.And the second she walked out with her friend, I felt the weight shift in the room. Every set of eyes burned with envy, with suspicion, with malice. My crew felt it too.“You sure about this, boss?” Dante asked, twirling the ring on his finger. He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, grinning like he knew the chaos that was about to come. “Because that looked permanent.”“Permanent?” I scoffed, leaning back. “Don’t overthink it. I just need to shut some pussy up. T
