Lucien’s POV

The moon hasn’t risen, yet my wolf refuses to rest.

Ever since she crossed the boundary of ShadowFang territory… everything inside me has shifted. My instincts have sharpened — dangerously. My control slips with every heartbeat.

Aurelia.

Her scent still lingers on my palm from that brief moment I caught her. Soft. Wild. Forbidden.

I tried to ignore the pull — but even a monster like me is not immune to destiny.

My Beta, Elias, clears his throat beside me.

“You haven’t stopped pacing for hours, Alpha. The council is asking—”

“I don’t care what they’re asking,” I snap, the air cracking with my power.

Elias bows immediately, veins in his neck pulsing. Everyone fears me. It’s all I’ve ever known. But fear doesn’t interest me anymore.

She does.

That young girl… the one who didn’t tremble. The one who sensed the danger in me and still stood her ground like a queen born to command.

And those eyes — So bright, Like it sees through me.

I turn toward the castle walls. Behind them lies the sacred border every outsider fears. Smart creatures stay far away.

But not her.

“She’s not normal,” Elias finally says. “Her scent— I’ve never smelled magic like that.”

Exactly.

“She’s mine,” I murmur — not to Elias, not to the night — but to the universe that dared to bring her to me.

“But Alpha—” Elias hesitates. “The prophecy warns—”

“The prophecy can burn.”

I am the strongest alpha in existence. The richest. The deadliest. The one entire kingdoms kneel to. Fate doesn’t control me. I take what I want.

A violent throb pulses through my chest. The wolf claws for freedom, desperate to run to her. Mark her. Claim her. Protect her.

Who is she really?

A mortal girl… or the reason the monsters in the dark are finally stirring?

Because tonight…

something ancient woke up.

A shiver cuts down my spine as a raven slams against the window, cawing a chilling warning.

The shadows whisper a single name…

Aurelia.

I bare my fangs.

Whether she is a blessing or a curse…

whether she brings salvation or absolute ruin…

She is already mine.

And hell itself won’t take her from me.

----------

I stalk out onto the balcony, the cold air striking my skin like needles, but it only feeds the hunger twisting inside me.

Below, my wolves train in the yard, unaware their king is unraveling.

“Alpha.” Elias steps out behind me again, hesitant. “There was another sighting near the southern ridge.”

My jaw tenses. “Of what?”

He swallows. “A breach.”

A low growl rolls from my chest.

Not possible.

ShadowFang territory is protected by blood magic — ancient, impenetrable. No creature crosses it without being ripped apart by the wards… unless…

Unless they were let in.

I turn slowly, eyes burning. “Show me.”

⚔️ Moments Later ⚔️

The forest is quiet. Too quiet.

The type of silence that comes right before death pounces.

Blood stains the snow. A scent of decay poisons the air.

We find a guard — throat torn open, eyes blackened with dark magic corruption.

Elias mutters a prayer.

I crouch next to the corpse, fingertips brushing the corrupted wound. Power sparks beneath my skin.

“This is Hellspawn work,” I say darkly. “Creatures that haven’t dared touch this land in centuries.”

Elias pales. “They’re hunting something… or someone.”

No.

Not something.

Her.

My wolf snarls violently, ripping through my control like paper. I nearly shift right there — bones cracking beneath skin, hunger tearing into me.

I drag myself back before the transformation completes — but only barely.

“Find every outsider that entered tonight,” I command, voice roughened with feral fury. “I want them questioned. Tortured if necessary.”

Elias nods quickly, rushing away with a team.

I remain, staring into the darkened woods.

The creatures of the underworld had smelled her magic too.

They had followed her.

They would keep following her.

I cannot allow that.

She knows nothing of our world — the wars, the blood, the monsters that obey no laws.

She thinks she walked away from me tonight.

But the truth is far different.

She walked deeper into danger than she realizes.

My eyes rise to the horizon.

Her kingdom lies in that direction — glowing with false safety.

I whisper her name again, letting the promise bind itself to fate:

“Aurelia… I’m coming for you.”

Not tomorrow.

Not next week.

Now.

My wolf lunges within me — satisfied.

Elias returns, breathless. “The horses are ready. The council demands an explanation—”

“They’ll get none.” I drag my cloak around my shoulders. “I ride before the next moon.”

Elias looks alarmed, but he bows. “May the goddess protect you, Alpha.”

The goddess will protect no one if I lose her.

This is more than instinct.

More than desire.

It’s prophecy.

It’s war.

It’s bond.

And if fate thinks it can claim her first...

I will tear fate apart with my bare hands.

I leap onto my midnight stallion — a beast as wild and savage as the wolf inside me.

The gates creak open.

My wrath shakes the ground.

The hunt begins.

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 96 — The Rightful Heir

    The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of the Royal Palace, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. The atmosphere inside the Grand Hall was no longer one of war and urgency, but of planning, transition, and hope.The decision had been made. Aurelia and Lucien would depart for Shadow Fang, the legendary territory where the Rogue King reigned supreme. But Moonlit Haven could not simply be left adrift.King Rowan stood up and walked to the massive oak doors. He placed his hand on the handle and turned back to face the room.“Bring him in,” he announced.The doors opened, and a young man walked in.He was tall, almost as tall as Lucien, but his frame was still slender, holding the promise of great strength yet to come. His hair was the same platinum blonde as his sisters, but his eyes were sharp, intelligent, and filled with a calmness that belied his years.This was Lucas.He walked with steady steps, stopping in the center of the room and bowing respectfully to the K

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 95 — The New Dawn

    The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the high stained-glass windows of the temple, casting dancing patterns of color across the stone floor. The air was still, crisp, and unbelievably clean. The heavy, suffocating scent of ozone and sulfur that had filled the room moments ago was gone, replaced by the natural fragrance of old stone and morning dew. Absolute silence had reigned for several minutes after the sealing, a silence so profound it felt like the entire world was holding its breath, afraid to break the peace that had been so hard-won. Then, slowly, people began to move. King Rowan was the first to step forward, his legs feeling weak beneath him, not from fear, but from the sheer release of tension. He looked at the center of the room, at the circle where the runes now glowed with a soft, steady, golden light—permanent, unbreakable, and beautiful. He looked at his daughters. He looked at Lucien. And he wept. It was over. The nightmare that had plagued their b

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 94 — The god Unleashed

    The atmosphere in the room changed instantly from sacred to hellish. The warm golden light was pushed back by waves of freezing cold and inky blackness. The runes on the floor screamed, glowing red as they tried to hold back the invasion. Hellspawn stood there, massive and terrifying, his form made of smoke and claws and hatred. He looked down at the small figures of Lucien and Aurelia, and he laughed. A sound like grinding stones. “You thought you could outsmart me?” he bellowed. “You thought a child, a sword, and a little love could stop me? I am the darkness that existed before the light!” He looked at Seraphine, who was still on the floor, cowering. “You,” he sneered. “Weak. Pathetic. But you served your purpose. You brought me here. You opened the door.” He turned his gaze back to the center. “The original plan was for Lucien to kill Aurelia. That would have sealed me away forever. But now… now that the attempt failed… the law is broken! There is no other way! I am invinc

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 93 — The Ritual Begins

    The time had come.The central chamber of the temple was filled with a soft, ethereal glow that seemed to breathe. The massive circle inscribed on the floor was active, the runes shimmering with a life of their own, shifting colors from deep blue to silver. The air was thick with magic, static and heavy, making the hair stand up on everyone's arms, making the very stones vibrate with power.King Rowan and Queen Rosalind stood at the outer perimeter, guardians to the ceremony. They held staffs carved from ancient moonwood, their faces set with determination and fear. They were ready to give everything to protect their daughter and the future.In the center stood Aurelia.She looked radiant and terrifying at the same time. The light emanating from her was no longer just blinding; it had hints of gold and deep cosmic blue, the colors of the universe itself. She stood tall, her chin raised, accepting her fate but ready to fight for her life and the life inside her. Her hand rested firmly

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 92 — The Night Before

    The great hall of the temple had been transformed completely. Gone were the simple decorations and empty spaces. Now, the floor was inscribed with a massive, intricate circle made of silver powder and crushed moonstone, mixed with rare herbs that glowed naturally in the dark. Runes lined the perimeter, glowing softly blue, pulsing with a rhythm that matched the heartbeat of the earth itself. This was not a circle of destruction anymore; it was a circle of binding, of transference, and of safety. It was designed to hold the impossible power that Aurelia now possessed and redirect it without breaking the vessel. “Again.” The Priestess’s voice echoed off the high ceilings, firm and commanding. Aurelia stood in the very center. She was wearing a gown of pure white silk, embroidered with silver threads that seemed to shimmer even without light. Her hand rested protectively over her stomach, while the other was extended outward, palm up, channeling the energy within. “Channel the energ

  • Reborn: The Alpha's Obsession    Chapter 91 — The Ticking Clock

    Inside the ancient stone walls of the temple, time seemed to move differently, stretching out every second into an eternity of waiting. The air was cool, smelling of old incense and damp earth, but for Seraphine, the atmosphere felt suffocating, as if the very stones were judging her, watching her every move.She walked the corridors like a ghost. Her footsteps were silent, her shadow blending perfectly with the darkness she had once commanded. But inside her chest, there was no peace.Burn.The sensation was constant. A searing heat right over her heart, pulsing in rhythm with her heartbeat, reminding her. It wasn't just pain; it was a brand. A leash. It felt as if a red-hot iron had been pressed into her soul, and it never truly cooled down. It was always there, a dull ache that flared into agony whenever she dared to disobey.“Why do you hesitate?”The voice grated against her mind like sandpaper on stone. It was everywhere, filling her head, leaving no room for her own thoughts. I
