The palace had never felt so hollow.

Not quiet — hollow.

As if something vital had been torn out of its heart, leaving behind only stone, shadow, and the echo of panic still clinging to the air. Servants moved like ghosts along the corridors. Guards spoke in murmurs. Every torch burned lower than usual, their flames wavering as though uncertain they were allowed to exist in such a fragile silence.

At the center of it all lay Aurelia.

Unmoving.

Unreachable.

Lucien had not left her side.

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 69 — What Is The Other Way Out

    The floor surged beneath him like a living thing.Pain lanced through his skull—Seraphine did not move immediately.She watched him — not as a woman might look at a man, not as a prisoner at a captor, not even as an ally measuring resolve.She watched him like a ritual component deciding whether it would hold.Then she exhaled.“Lie down.”Lucien didn’t argue. He lowered himself back onto the thin mattress, every muscle protesting, the stone beneath it radiating cold through his bones.Seraphine stepped fully into the circle.The air changed the instant she crossed the boundary.Not colder. Not warmer.Denser.As if the world inside the ring existed under deeper water.She knelt beside him, close enough that he could smell her — jasmine, ash, iron, something wild underneath. Her hair fell forward like a dark curtain as she leaned over him, pressing her blood-stained palm flat against the center of his chest.Right above his heart.Lucien’s wolf surged violently at the contact — not i

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 68 — She Refused To come Back

    Lucien woke to fire in his veins and the taste of iron at the back of his throat.For a long moment he did not move. He could not. His body felt pinned to the world by something heavier than weight — by gravity sharpened into a blade. Breath came shallow, dragging through lungs that felt scraped raw, as if he had been breathing smoke instead of air.Light flickered behind his eyelids.Not sunlight.Candlelight.When he forced his eyes open, the world resolved slowly, like paint bleeding into wet canvas. Stone ceiling. Shadows trembling across it. The faint smell of ash, herbs, and something older — something metallic and sacred at once.He was lying on a thin mattress placed directly on cold stone.Candles circled him.Dozens of them.Their flames burned an unnatural white-gold, steady despite the faint draft whispering through the chamber. Between them, carved into the floor, ran lines of dark ink and powdered silver, forming symbols that pulsed faintly — not with light exactly, but

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 67 — The Moonless Realm

    Darkness did not fall.It was simply there.Not the gentle dark of night, not the peaceful hush beneath silver moonlight, but a vast, suffocating absence that seemed to swallow even the idea of sound. It stretched endlessly in every direction, thick and oppressive, pressing against Aurelia’s skin like cold water.She stood alone in it.Barefoot.Unarmed.Uncertain how long she had been there.The ground beneath her feet felt like ash — soft, shifting, warm in places and freezing in others. When she moved, it sighed, as though disturbed from an ancient sleep. Above her, there was no sky. No stars. No moon. Just a heavy, lightless void that gave nothing back.She tried to summon her power.Nothing came.Not the familiar hum beneath her skin. Not the flicker of silver light that had always answered her call. It was as though the Moon itself had turned its face away from her.Her chest tightened.“Lolli?” she called, her voice sounding too small, too human in the vast emptiness.No answer

    The palace had never felt so hollow.Not quiet — hollow.As if something vital had been torn out of its heart, leaving behind only stone, shadow, and the echo of panic still clinging to the air. Servants moved like ghosts along the corridors. Guards spoke in murmurs. Every torch burned lower than usual, their flames wavering as though uncertain they were allowed to exist in such a fragile silence.At the center of it all lay Aurelia.Unmoving.Unreachable.Lucien had not left her side.Three healers had rotated through the chamber. Two had nearly collapsed from exhaustion. King Rowan himself had come and gone twice, issuing commands that rippled through the entire kingdom.None of it mattered.Because Aurelia had not woken.Lucien sat beside the bed, elbows braced on his knees, her hand trapped between both of his as if he could anchor her to this world by sheer force alone. Her skin was warm. Her breathing steady but faint.Too faint.His wolf paced inside him like a caged storm, cla

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 65 — Too late

    Lucien did not remember crossing the distance. One moment the chain was snapping toward Aurelia’s wrist, the next the world narrowed into red. Claws tore through air, through steel, through flesh. His impact hit the assassin mid-lunge with the force of a falling boulder. The man’s body slammed sideways into the shattered wall, stone exploding outward as bone gave way beneath Lucien’s weight. The glowing chain slipped from his grip—but not before its cold metal kissed Aurelia’s skin. The instant contact was made, the pulse went off. Not an explosion. Not light. Something worse. Aurelia gasped as if all the air had been ripped from her lungs at once. Her back arched violently, fingers clawing at nothing, a sound tearing from her throat that wasn’t quite a scream and wasn’t quite a wolf’s cry either. Lucien spun, eyes wild, abandoning the dying assassin without a second thought. “AURELIA!” She staggered backward, boots scraping against fractured stone. Her power ignited—but wr

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 64 — Fracture Point.

    Damon stood alone in his quarters, the quiet hum of the palace barely reaching him as he leaned against the stone wall, his fingers playing with the edge of his glass. The amber liquid swirled within, catching the light, reflecting back his thoughts in the same way. His mind danced between the plans already set in motion—everything was falling into place. Aurelia suspected nothing, and that was what made it so perfect.Her power had been tested, weakened, and the resonance had done its work. She had no idea that she was already tangled in their web.The attack—well, that had been phase one.Now, phase two was coming into play. The subtle manipulation, the games with Lucien, and the inevitable result of his loyalty. Aurelia would come to rely on him. And in doing so, she'd fall right into Damon’s hands.He smiled faintly. The wolf in him stirred, knowing that everything was just within reach.—---Meanwhile—----Lucien had returned to the palace after a day filled with tense council mee
