Obsession "Own"
Iris woke up late in the morning.For a moment, she did not realize where she was.The heavy curtains, the spacious bed, and the warmth surrounding her body... all of these were things she was not used to.Then she remembered.Gabriel.Her heart trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around.But he was not beside her.Only the faint creases in the sheets and the cold scent of his perfume lingering on the pillow remained.She raised her hand and touched the place where he had been sleeping only a short while ago.Cold."He left some time ago..."she whispered quietly.A strange tightness settled inside her chest, but she quickly ignored it and got out of bed.Her body was tired, especially after last night, but what bothered her most were Gabriel's words before he fell asleep."You're... not going to leave me, are you?"She shut her eyes tightly.She should not become more attached to him.It would only hurt him later.She slowly got dressed, took her medicine, and carefully left the
Obsession "A bitter truth"
Gabriel's POVI waited for a long time until Iris had completely calmed down. Then I released my aura throughout the entire imperial palace, searching for only one person:Katerina.My cold eyes swept across every corner of the palace, but I could not find her. It seemed that she had already left the palace, because if she were still here, I would have found her even if she had hidden herself with magic.A cruelty and coldness shone within my eyes, emotions I had buried long ago beneath layers of calmness and composure.I smiled slowly, savoring the escape of my prey.The savage part of me, like a true predator, had always loved hunting its prey, whether to kill it or devour it.That side of me had to remain hidden from my little quill, especially after the way she reacted every time I lost even a small part of my self-control.I temporarily suppressed my aura and rested my head against Iris's neck once again, thinking about that cursed agreement between me and that damned tribe of ma
Obsession "An unlucky event"
From Iris’s POV.“Ahhh!!” A panicked scream left me involuntarily as I woke up from that dream.“Oh my God, oh my God, what was that?!” I asked myself, biting my lip.What was that dream?Why did Gab look like he was about to die?Who was the one they called “the hybrid”?Amid the chaos and irrational thoughts flooding my mind, I suddenly felt someone shaking my shoulders violently.“Iris? Iris!!” Gabriel was holding my shoulders, his usually cold face now showing clear worry.I couldn’t take it…I couldn’t…Especially after seeing Gab’s pitiful state in my dream.The images overlapped rapidly in my mind…I threw myself into his arms, crying violently and gasping out words even I couldn’t understand.As if they belonged to someone else.“Gabi… I… I’m sorry… they said… you’re a hybrid, and… sorry for leaving you there… I…”And in the middle of my hysteria, my eyelids felt heavy and I fell asleep again.---From Gab’s POV.I was sitting in my office, working through my accumulated tasks
Obsession " disaster "
Katerina fell silent for a moment longer than necessary.Her smile remained unchanged, but her eyes never left the necklace in Iris's hand.As if she were listening to something no one else could hear.Then she said calmly:"It seems that it accepted you quickly... that's good."Iris looked up with slight confusion."What do you mean?""Nothing important."Katerina answered immediately with a gentle smile."I simply expected it to react differently to someone who came from the Moon Palace."That name again.It made Iris's chest tighten for a stronger moment.But she ignored the feeling."Is there a problem with that?""Quite the opposite."Katerina said as she slowly stood up."It means you're more compatible with it than I expected."She tilted her head slightly, as if she were observing something inside Iris herself, not her face.Then she turned toward Leticia, who had been watching silently from a distance."You seem well today too."Leticia did not answer.She only tightened her
Obsession "gift"
On the other side of the palace…Katerina was sitting quietly in front of the golden mirror inside her suite.The maid behind her was combing her long hair, while the reflection of her cold eyes remained fixed, expressionless.“So… His Majesty took her himself?”she asked calmly.“Yes, my lady.”the maid replied quickly.“And since then, he hasn’t allowed anyone near his wing.”Silence settled for a few seconds.Then…Katerina smiled faintly.A very small smile.Soft on the outside…but it never reached her eyes.“As I expected.”she murmured calmly.She knew Gabriel’s type very well.Perhaps more than anyone else in this palace.When it came to Iris…he became something else entirely.Something dangerous.Something that saw no one else but her.Katerina lowered her gaze slightly toward the small box on the table in front of her.A silver box decorated with delicate moon engravings.She opened it slowly.Inside…a pale white gemstone necklace, faintly leaning toward blue, was revealed
Obsession "A hopeless man."
From Iris’s POV I stared at him in complete shock. A kiss?! Just like that?! This man says the most embarrassing things as if they were completely normal requests. “Gabriel!” His name left my mouth quickly as I looked around nervously, even though we were alone in the office. But he didn’t seem bothered by my embarrassment at all. On the contrary… His smile widened even more. Oh God, he’s actually enjoying this. I tried to pull away a little, but he easily wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me back into his lap. “Where are you going?” He said it calmly, as if escaping him was simply impossible. I glared at him. “You’re just taking advantage of the situation.” “Of course.” He answered immediately without a hint of shame. My eyes widened. Did he just admit it that easily?! I felt my face grow hotter and hotter while he kept looking at me with that calm, provoking gaze. As if he was actually waiting for me to kiss him. This idiot… “I already said thank you
Obsession Under threat
Iris quickly washed her face and dried it.She looked at her reflection in the mirror for a moment before leaving with Lillian toward the banquet hall."My Lady... are you feeling better now?" Lillian asked cautiously as they walked.Iris paused for a moment before continuing forward."And why woul

Obsession A strange dream
Silence lingered for several seconds after his words.Iris continued staring at him shyly, while her heart beat so fast that it confused her.As for Gabriel...He looked at her calmly, but something heavy was hidden within his eyes.At last, he let out a quiet sigh.Then he extended his hand toward
Obsession Do you love Gabrielle?
Iris felt tense when she saw that sharp look on Gabriel's face.But when he looked at her again, there was no trace of it.In a playful tone, he pinched her chin and asked,"Were you scared, my unripe little peach? Hmm?"Iris's face turned red, and she muttered nervously,"Y-Your Majesty... I'm alr
