Moonlit Haven — Queen Rosalind’s POV

The palace had not slept since the Blood Moon.

Neither had Rosalind.

From her chamber balcony, she watched the silver banners stir in the dawn breeze, their embroidered moons catching light like silent eyes. The people believed the festival had ended peacefully. They believed the Moon had spoken, chosen Aurelia, rejected the Crimson Fang prince, and restored balance.

But Rosalind had ruled too long to believe in peace that came without cost.

She pressed her fingers to the cool stone railing.

Something had shifted.

Not just in Aurelia — but in the world.

She could feel it the way queens learned to feel storms before thunder cracked.

Behind her, soft footsteps approached.

“My Queen,” murmured Elder Maelis, bowing low. “The council gathers. They are… restless.”

Rosalind did not turn. “They always are when they smell uncertainty.”

Maelis hesitated. “They question why the princess left with ShadowFang. Why she remains absent.”

Rosalind’s jaw tightened.

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 35 — The Manipulator

    The silence of the chamber was absolute. Only the soft flicker of torches broke the darkness, casting long shadows that danced like ghosts across the stone walls. Lucien stood over the scroll Kaelen had delivered, his mind still reeling from the truths it had revealed. Kaelen’s voice, low and deliberate, filled the room, but now it carried something more than instruction—it carried story, history older than kingdoms, older than time itself. “You need to understand everything,” she said, her eyes glinting in the torchlight. “Not just the prophecy. Not just Aurelia. But the one who set all this into motion: Abyssion. The one the world calls Hellspawn, You need to know why he has been lingering, this was not written in the scroll, It was spoken directly from the mouth of the great seer.” Lucien nodded. He needed to know. Every decision he would make, every step he would take, depended on the truth. Kaelen took a deep breath. “Centuries back… Selene was the Moon Goddess, the guardian

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 34 — The Scroll Of Truth

    Lucien sat in the stillness of the ShadowFang council room, the torches flickering shadows across stone walls that had witnessed centuries of secrets. Kaelen had returned that morning, her steps silent but deliberate, carrying the weight of her journey like an unspoken herald of change. Between them lay a simple object—a scroll bound in blackened leather, the edges worn from travel, the seal of the ancient seer intact.He didn’t speak. Not yet.Kaelen placed the scroll on the table. Her eyes, dark and unreadable, locked with his. “You asked for the truth,” she said softly, voice devoid of judgment. “Here it is. All of it. The history, the prophecy—the things they never wanted you to know.”Lucien’s hand hovered above the parchment, hesitating. There was something in the air, something heavy and charged, that made his pulse stutter. When he finally unrolled it, the script shimmered faintly, as if the words themselves remembered their own weight.He began to read aloud, voice low, carry

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 33 — The Crimson Fang Fracture

    Prince Rafael had always believed fear was loyalty refined.Tonight proved him wrong.The war hall of the Crimson Fang fortress throbbed with torchlight and tension, a cathedral of red stone carved from the mountain’s bleeding heart. Banners bearing the Fang sigil—silver talons clutching a crimson moon—hung motionless, as though the air itself dared not breathe.They were late.Again.Rafael stood at the head of the obsidian table, fingers pressed flat against its surface. Veins corded along his forearms, pulsing beneath his skin like something trapped and angry. His crown lay discarded beside him—an affectation he no longer bothered with. Power didn’t need symbols. Power was.The commanders filed in at last.Five of them.Not eight.Rafael’s eyes flicked over the empty seats, and something dark coiled tighter in his chest.“Explain,” he said.His voice did not rise. It didn’t need to.Commander Varek—broad-shouldered, scarred, loyal to a fault—stepped forward and bowed. “Two battalio

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 32 — The Prince Who Mistook Hunger for Power

    The tension in crimson fang was so heavy to ignore.The land itself was red with old wars, the soil so soaked with violence that even the trees grew twisted, bark cracked like scars that never healed. Wolves ruled here by dominance alone. Mercy was a weakness whispered about only in graves.And Prince Rafael had been born to rule it.Or so he had always believed.Rafael stood at the highest balcony of the citadel, the wind snapping his cloak behind him like a banner of war. Below, the Fang Lords gathered in the courtyard—massive Alpha-born wolves, scarred and snarling, their loyalty bought through bloodshed rather than trust.They waited for him.They always did.Yet tonight, Rafael felt it.That itch beneath his skin.That whisper of doubt he had never allowed to live.He crushed it.“I will not be mocked,” he snarled, fingers digging into the stone railing. “Not by ShadowFang. Not by a mere princess.”Aurelia Nightfall.The name tasted like poison.She should have broken.She should

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 31 — The first crack

    Seraphine Nightfall had always believed she understood power.She had grown up watching it — how it bent servants’ backs, how it softened lies into truths, how it rewarded patience more than force. Power, she knew, did not roar. It whispered. It waited. It smiled.And until now, it had always listened to her.*****Moonlit Haven — NightfallThe palace was quiet in the way that meant secrets were awake.Seraphine stood alone in her chambers, candlelight flickering across silk walls and polished stone. She had dismissed her maid hours ago. No witnesses. No listening ears. Only the faint hum of wards woven into the bones of the palace itself.She flexed her fingers.The sigil on her wrist pulsed once.Then again.Too strong.Seraphine frowned.“That’s… odd,” she murmured.When she had sent Lucas, she had expected a gentle tremor — Aurelia’s power reacting emotionally, destabilizing briefly. A crack she could widen later. That had been the plan.But what she felt instead was not fracture.

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 30 — The Innocent Piece on the Board

    Lucas Nightfall had never wanted to be brave.He had wanted to be useful.That was the difference — and it was why Seraphine had chosen him.Moonlit Haven — MorningLucas stood very still while the tailor adjusted the clasp of his cloak.“Too tight,” he muttered.The man apologized profusely and loosened it at once, hands shaking. Everyone shook around Lucas these days. Not because he was frightening — but because he was important.The little brother of the reborn princess.The spare heir.The child everyone watched for cracks.Lucas hated it.He glanced toward the mirror and frowned at his reflection. He looked younger than his twelve winters — dark hair still too soft, shoulders not yet broadened by shift or training. His wolf slept lightly inside him, curious but untested.“Stop fidgeting,” Seraphine said gently.She stood behind him, hands resting on his shoulders — light, reassuring, sisterly. Anyone watching would have smiled.Only Lucas felt the faint pressure.“I’m not fidgeti
