Chapter 28 — The Rite Of Reflection.

The Sanctum of Oaths breathed.

It always had.

The stone walls expanded and contracted imperceptibly, as though the chamber itself were alive, listening, remembering every vow sworn within its depths. Magic older than Moonlit Haven clung to the air — not wild, not violent, but deliberate. Judgmental.

Seraphine stood at its center.

She had returned alone.

The iron door sealed behind her with a sound like a coffin closing, cutting off the distant life of the palace above. No servants. No guards. No witnesses.

This rite was not meant to be watched.

She wore white this time — ceremonial silk, slit at the sides to allow movement. Her hair hung loose down her back, unbound, a signal of surrender to higher forces.

A lie.

The altar had been cleansed.

Fresh runes glowed faintly along its edge, newly carved with a blade still stained at Seraphine’s hip. Candles ringed the chamber, each flame tinted silver-blue, burning without smoke.

And at the heart of it all—

The circle.

  • 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.

    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

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 29 — When Warnings Arrive Too Late

    Moonlit Haven woke uneasy.It began subtly — a missed heartbeat in the air, a stiffness to magic that made even seasoned wolves frown without knowing why. The Moon rose full and pale, but its light felt thin, as if strained through something unseen.Mireya felt it before dawn.She had not slept.The hum beneath the palace stones still echoed in her bones, vibrating behind her ribs like a warning bell that refused to stop ringing. She stood at the narrow window of her servant’s chamber, fingers gripping the sill, watching guards shift positions below with forced normalcy.Nothing looked wrong.That terrified her.The Sanctum had been active.There was no other explanation.Mireya wrapped her shawl tighter around herself and moved. Quietly. Quickly. She did not take the main corridors — she took the old ones, passages carved before Moonlit Haven had learned how to pretend at innocence.Her destination was not the throne room.It was the west tower.The Nightfall archives.Because if Ser

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 27 — Blood Makes Promises

    Seraphine did not sleep.She sat before her mirror until dawn bled faintly through the curtains, watching her reflection shift under candlelight — watching the darkness beneath her skin move when she breathed.Prince Alistair’s “gift” was still there.Waiting.It did not hurt.That was the most frightening part.Power usually demanded pain, blood, sacrifice. This one settled into her veins like silk — warm, attentive, eager. It listened when she thought. It answered when she wanted.She raised her hand slowly.The shadows on the wall obeyed.They stretched, bending toward her fingers like hounds awaiting command.A sharp laugh escaped her throat — breathless, almost hysterical.“So this is what Aurelia feels,” she murmured.But no — Aurelia’s power was alive. Chaotic. Moon-born.This was something else entirely.Something patient.Seraphine rose and crossed the room, bare feet silent against cold stone. She stopped before the concealed door hidden behind the eastern tapestry — the one
