Several hours passed…

And the night remained eerily quiet.

Iris slept deeply on Gabriel’s chest, her steady breathing blending with the soft sound of the wind moving through the trees.

As for him…

He did not sleep.

He leaned against the trunk of the giant tree, his eyes fixed on the girl sleeping in his arms.

He bent slightly and pressed a kiss to her forehead, then gently moved a silver strand of hair stuck on her brow.

The atmosphere was very calm.

And that was exactly what disturbed him the

  • 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   "Gabriel is an opportunist"

    From Gabriel’s POVFrom the moment I saw her in the garden with that maid, I knew I wouldn’t let it slide.It wasn’t just a conversation or someone getting too close. It was obvious she chose the timing, the method, and the person closest to Iris in order to harm her indirectly. That alone was enough.I approached her and pulled her with me without giving her a chance to argue.“Gab… what’s going on?”I didn’t answer.I only wanted her out of there.There was no need for her to stay in that kind of situation.I brought her into my office and closed the door behind us.I sat her on the sofa while she was still trying to understand what was happening.“I’m fine. Why did you act like that?”I looked at her in silence.She always says that.But she is not fine when it comes to the people around her, especially that small Leticia.I sat beside her, then pulled her into my lap, her scent overwhelming, keeping her close without giving her space to pull away.She didn’t object, but she stoppe

  • Obsession   "Targeting Letty"

    From Iris’s POV.I couldn’t stop thinking about Gabriel’s words all day."Don’t trust them."I didn’t know exactly who he meant, but everyone inside the palace started to look… suspicious in some way.Even the servants.Even the walls, almost.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself."I’m overreacting… I’m just overreacting…"I whispered to myself as I walked through a side corridor inside the palace.I was looking for Letty.They said she was in the inner garden with some servants, so I went straight there.But before I arrived…I heard a voice.I stopped.Letty’s voice."I’m telling you, I don’t need your help, I’m fine!"Then another soft voice, very gentle."I’m only trying to help, there’s no need to be angry."That voice…I froze.I carefully moved closer behind the trees.And what I saw made my chest tighten immediately.Letty was standing there, frowning, while a maid from the guest wing stood in front of her with a very calm smile.The same kind of smile.The same kind I
