Veronica’s POV

“Jadeline discovered that Keldor is a spy,” I placed my hands on the round table where I gathered everyone who was part of the plan.

It is past midnight. Sebastian and I rushed to meet with everyone after the crystal received the distress signal. Eamon, Soren, Isolde, and Analynn are here with us in the dead of the night.

Eamon asked intently, “Are we sure that it’s her?”

“That’s the worst thing we have to assume,” I responded to him, glancing for a second before my eyes drop on the stone table once again, “The pendant wouldn’t simply send off a distress signal with just minimal harm,” I uttered, wrapping my arms around myself and biting my thumb, “It was curated to warn us of the most dangerous situation.”

“That situation is if Jadeline discovers him,” I added as I looked up to them with a frantic gaze, “We have to save Keldor.”

Tension is thick in the air and everyone knows the gravity of this matter. We have gone through all of this before but it is an entirely diffe

    Veronica’s POV“What is the Crysmorra bloodline?” Sebastian asked from where he was sitting on the couch near me, “What even makes your mother’s family blood so special? Jadeline’s so weirdly obsessed about it.”“If I knew, I wouldn’t have been buried in these books,” I responded with a snap in my tone.Instantly, I felt guilty at the remark that slipped out from me. I faced him, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to be rude. I’m just so stressed out,” I explained to him.He sighed and stood up, “I understand. You barely slept in days,” he walked towards me and pushed the books on my table to sit on it while staring at me, “I’m just trying to m

    Veronica’s POVI woke up with a pounding headache. I was a mess.What was that? It’s unlike any other dream I had before! It’s not my memory and it was creepy. I remembered the feeling more than the actual vision. Who owns that memory? Is it mom’s? Victoria’s? I’m sure that was her. I recognize her. I definitely also did not hallucinate that dream. It felt real. I know it is real. One thing about my abilities that has been already proven, I could go back to the past to some extent.This is too much. The toll of everything lately is much too exhausting.I glanced at the large windows of our chambers. I watched the snow pouring hard like a storm outside. It was already late evening. From last I remember, I slept before the sunset. Just how many hours was I in slumber? The dream felt so short but it seems like time has passed by quickly in my reality. It was jarring to travel back and forth. I don’t know what’s real anymore.Instinctively, I looked around for Sebastian.Because in the

    Sebastian’s POVLately, I want to bite Veronica.A mating bite. A bond. After all, it's what will make us official mates. It was ironic to be married to each other but not bonded as mates.Traditionally, it should've occurred during our first night together. However, I still can't bite her. Even though her previous bond with her fucking bastard of an ex-husband has been rejected and gone, it takes half a year before she can have another mating bite.It's been more than four months. Just a bit more… and yet I can't calm down.It is a growing urge, every time I am around Veronica. Especially these days, when the curse seems to be igniting.I know this would sound bad if I say I was thankful because of the continuous dilemma we are having lately, but it served as a good distraction.Because if I wasn't busy with all this, I would've done something drastic.The itch of the killing spree deep inside me still sits on the pit of my stomach. But at least it can be contained. I barely managed

    Veronica’s POV“Tomorrow, we will rescue Keldor.”I have gathered my closest aids in our meeting chamber. I have five people with me. Eamon, Soren, Isolde, Analynn and Sebastian. They are currently the only ones I trust about this whole matter. Especially when the suspected traitor in Helios has yet to be discovered. Apparently the triplets are handling that issue.“Jadeline demanded to meet me alone,” I started telling them, “It’s safe for us to follow her demands to ensure that Keldor won’t be harmed.”Sebastian reacted right away beside me. He gave me an incredulous look, “You really think I’d allow you to meet that mad woman on your own?”With a frown and a sigh, I faced him and responded, “I have taken that into consideration already,” I paused while he raise a brow at my claim, “I’ve managed to talk her into allowing you to come with me but you cannot enter the hall where we’ll have our private conversation.”He clicked his tongue and insisted, “I still don’t like that.”“Well,

    Veronica’s POVToday is the Winter Trade Summit. Everything must go according to plan.“Lords and ladies, thank you for gathering with us today,” the man, who I remember as also the same guy who made the announcements at Metropolis, greeted the crowd of attendees.He is a representative of the Holy Parliament and we are gathered at their small headquarters in the North. Only officials are invited so the venue is not that big.“We will proceed with the trading deals and transactions facilitated by us to ensure that all packs are involved and aided through the upcoming long harsh winter.”The hall was filled with discussions and negotiations soon after. We were conversing with multiple leaders, especially when they know that Helios has the most abundant resources amongst all the kingdoms.“Your support to our pack will be remembered, Alpha Sebastian and Luna Veronica,” the older man smiled and bowed to us.Sebastian gave a polite nod before going in for a firm handshake, “It's a deal.”

    Veronica's POVOn my way to meet Jadeline, I encountered the person I least expected to see tonight.“Going somewhere, sister?” The figure of a woman emerged from the near corner of the hallway.“Ruby, what a surprise,” I greeted her with a sweet smile, “It's been a while.”Her heels clicked on the cobblestones, there was a haste in her steps as she walked towards me with a mad expression.I don't know why but it seems that her saintly facade has been slipping a lot lately. Or perhaps she just doesn't try to pretend in front of me after I've already discovered her true nature.“Sneaking around aren't you, Veronica? How unladylike,” She gritted out and stopped in front of me.I almost rolled my eyes at her statement. She's so childish. I don't have time to waste on her nonsense.“I could say the same thing to you, Ruby,” I said mockingly. I know she hates it when I act high and mighty around her. I plan on getting on her nerves. “Got lost on your own? You know you shouldn't leave your

    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

    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

They were convening and presenting their side at Eviera’s territory.Alpha Sebastian, Luna Veronica, and their Beta, Eamon together with a few of their aides accompanied them to the gathering. The officials from the Parliament arrived earlier than them.Naturally, murmurs from the crowd of spectators filled the tense air at Eviera.“Luna Veronica really is targeting Eviera, doesn't she?”“She's going against the mother who loved her so dearly.”“Oh it's because she's married to the Alpha of Helios—that’s why she has the guts.”“Clearly Alpha Colton and Luna Ruby are failing as our leaders though.”“We are just getting caught in their personal mess.”Veronica was used to such comments. She knows how fickle the adoration and respect from her former pack members are. She has been a subject of it on lots of

    Veronica’s POVNews spreads fast in the Northern continent. The whisper of scandal had grown into a storm.Controversies are a big deal especially for packs who aim to climb to the top. It opens opportunities to sneak in and ally with the stronger clans. If you pick the right side, it might just do you great favors in the future.Helios is power; thus, it is always the right side.“There are two more packs who have sent a letter stating their cooperation in allowing the investigation for the missing Lady Jadeline of Eviera around their borders,” Isolde reports to me. “They’d be informing us as soon as they find any clues.”I nodded in satisfaction as I sip my tea, looking out at the view of my garden. I’m not able to visit it a lot until recently and it has been blooming now more than ever.I placed down my cup on the table and smiled towards Analynn who took the empty cup from the table. “Is Luciana and Rowan back? Are they in the meeting chambers already?” I asked.Keldor, who's ve

    Ruby’s POV“This is all your fault!” I flinched at Colton’s voice booming inside our bedroom chambers. He was pacing back and forth in anger.I squirmed where I was standing. It's been hours since Veronica and her husband, the Alpha of Helios, paid us a visit just this afternoon.Eviera had been in chaos since then. Colton, especially, couldn't contain his anger. I didn't like it when he's like this.All that wrath has to land somewhere… and I’m always at its receiving end. Just like right now.“How can you be so useless and not know anything about your mother's whereabouts, huh? You should at least know that!” He was flailing his hands while glaring at me.“But of course, you don't know anything else! Like always!” His veins were showing in his face, his canines bared now as he growled at me.I cowered in fear and his dominance. I felt so small as he continued chastising me.“It's just your mother and your stepsister’s reputation that even made you a Luna of this pack,” he gritted o

  • Obsession of the King: A Luna’s Revenge   Chapter 188

    Veronica’s POVI remembered in Eviera, back when I was still the pack’s Luna… even after being crowned, I still felt the need to prove myself and earn the throne. I cannot afford to tarnish my name. All I focused on were my duties; I’m not exactly an outgoing person. They used to say that I’m too stoic or serious. Perhaps because I cannot afford failure. It’s instilled in me while growing up.Colton hated that. And it was Ruby’s edge over me. It was one thing she was better at—being pleasant, warm, and bubbly.“You instructed the general to stop the scouting outside our borders?” Colton yanked me after the meal. I could feel the heavy eyes of the servants around us sneak glances.I’m not sure if it was a good thing that he dragged me to the more isolated part of the hallway.“You're gripping me too tight,” I gritted out and tried to shrug his hand off me until he was the one to harshly let go of me. “It wasn't me,” I added and looked at him while rubbing my arms from the pain of his

    Trigger warning: This chapter containers implied harassment. Read at your discretion.**Veronica’s POVThe chamber was immediately in chaos. The atmosphere inside was filled with their panic.I remained beside Sebastian, poised and composed, while the elders of the pack—the ones who once easily discarded me despite all the work I did for them—watched from their carved wooden chairs.Colton sat at the head. His lips were curled in a neutral line, but his eyes flickered with disdain. At his side, Ruby, looked as fragile and sweet as ever amidst her obvious alarm and confusion.I don't know if it's because I've seen her true colors now but it was easier to see through her acting. Either that, or she's losing her only talent.Sebastian told them in detail, “During our kingdom’s recent investigations, we discovered remnants of dark magic—traces that led us to a disturbing truth.”I continued his explanation, “We discovered planted obsidian shards: enchanted, corrupted, and powerful—was fo

    Veronica’s POVIt feels like I have lived a hundred lifetimes since I last stepped in Eviera.My previous visit was during Colton and Ruby’s wedding, which was cathartic when I look back at it. It's also when I first made my move against them.Time passes by so quickly. A lot of things happened.“Eviera is not expecting and accepting any guests—” the guard of the borders didn't finish his words when he realized the crest of our carriage.Then, we pushed the curtains of our window away to speak with him.“Alpha Sebastian of Helios,” he greets and then locks eyes with me. I think I’ve seen him around before, when I was still queen of Eviera so I understood the shock of his reaction, gulping in my presence.I guess my bad reputation in the pack remains.“L-luna Veronica of Helios,” he greets me too.The other guard beside him moved so that they could bow together to us. I assumed this second guy was a superior of his.He then tells us, “I apologize for the rudeness Your Highnesses but ha

    Veronica’s POVRevenge won’t give me peace but it will give me satisfaction.I killed Jadeline with my own two hands. If I wasn't that corrupted before, I'm forever tainted now. So I chose to see it through to the end.At least then, I’d have my conclusion. I could really shed the skin of my past without any attachments. I’ve done the worst anyway, might as well finish the job.“Remind me to not make an enemy out of you,” Sebastian gave me an amused smirk as he leaned on his chair.I raised a brow at him and grinned. “Like you’re not as diabolical.” He only responded with a hearty laugh.Perhaps the reason why we belong together is we accept the darkest, ugliest parts of one another.Today, I’ve made up my mind on how we can close this chapter of our lives—the ritual, the demon, the curse, and Jadeline. It took me some time before I could come up with something that covers all the tangled webs left behind. It's not wise for the truth to leak. A lot of people, even other packs and t

    Sebastian’s POV“Veronica?” I called out in the darkness of the night. I patted her side of the bed and it was empty.I got up in haste, eyes glowing to check the surroundings and instantly stepped out to look around. Then, I remembered our mating bond.With that, I sensed her presence easier than before and I knew exactly where she was. What she's feeling and if she's okay. My feet brought me to the open balcony of our chambers.“There you are,” I murmured, only feeling relief when I really saw her in the flesh, despite the bond we share.Lately, I’ve known fear. Perhaps this is the result of recent events. I don’t think I’d ever forget what fear is anymore. She was wrapped in a silk robe, the breeze brushing her skin as she stared over the moonlit horizon. Her scent was carried by the wind, calming me in a way no other ever could.Her silhouette looked breathtaking. “Ah, yes. Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up,” Veronica answered, looking at me over her shoulder with a smile.I’v

    Veronica’s POVNothing happened.Or at least, that’s what we told the rest of Helios when they started coming back to the territory. We spent the last few days cleaning the traces of the ritual and the chaos that happened while also recovering from our wounds and letting reality sink in.Tonight was a starless evening. The moon was hiding behind the clouds and the storm has calmed down into a soft chilly winter. The wind stirred my clothes, carrying a refreshing breath of air. The sound of the nearby falls could be heard.I was standing by the river’s edge, somewhere near the altar from nights before. I watched the raft float away from me, in the center of the stream, the crackle of the flames consumed the wrapped body that lay atop of it. There were no flowers, no offerings, no runes etched into the wood. Just the body—hers— and the silence on an ordinary wooden plank.It had been five days. Five days since I killed her with my own hands, with the blade she gifted me, because of the
