The Devil's Obsession Chapter 14: Tangled in the Devil’s Web
Aria lay still in the grand bed, her body enveloped in silk sheets that clung to her skin like a second touch. The moonlight filtered through the heavy velvet curtains, casting a bluish glow over the ornate furniture and gothic carvings. Everything felt too large for her — the bed, the room, the presence pressing in from every corner of the Devil’s estate.But what unsettled her most was not the room. It was him.Lucian.She could feel his gaze even when she couldn’t see him. She had asked him to leave earlier — begged, even. She needed space. Time to think. To process what had just happened between them.Because everything had changed.Their kiss had been a firestorm, igniting something primal in both of them. What followed had been as breathtaking as it was terrifying — like being possessed, devoured, unmade. She had never felt so exposed, so powerless, yet so alive. And now, in the silence of the aftermath, her thoughts buzzed like static in her skull.Her fingers brushed the spot
The Devil's Obsession Chapter Thirteen: Echoes of Ice and Fire
The candlelight flickered against the stone walls of the war chamber, but it wasn’t the flame Seraphina focused on.It was the silence.A stillness had settled over the kingdom like a breath held too long. Ever since the Cold Warden’s appearance in Braelyn, reports had trickled in—villages turning ghostly, animals migrating away from once-thriving regions, lakes freezing overnight in the middle of spring.The world was changing again.But this time, it wasn’t her fire doing the changing.Seraphina stood at the heart of the table, both palms braced on the edge, eyes scanning the latest missives. Eveline, Lucien, and Dante stood close by.“The Warden’s magic is spreading,” Eveline said, placing another scroll in front of her. “It’s not physical… not entirely. It’s memory-based. It erases presence. Leaves the world intact, but lifeless.”Lucien grunted. “It’s like he’s turning time against us.”Dante stepped closer, his voice low. “We need to act. You sealed the Gate. You survived the fl
The Devil's Obsession Chapter Twelve: Ash Without Fire
The palace halls had never felt so cold.Not because of winter, nor absence of flame—but because Seraphina had returned without the fire that had once defined her. She walked through the gilded corridors like a shadow of herself, her steps slow, deliberate. No one dared speak. No one dared meet her eyes.The Flameborn Queen was flameborn no longer.And yet… she had never felt more powerful.Eveline waited by the war chamber doors, her face unreadable. “You shouldn’t be walking this soon.”“I’m not injured,” Seraphina replied.“Not physically,” Eveline said.They stood in silence for a moment before Seraphina opened the doors herself.Inside, the council had already gathered—lords, mages, emissaries. They looked up in unison when she entered. Expectation and fear passed like a wave.She took her seat at the head of the table.Lucien leaned forward first. “We’ve had reports from the eastern front. The ember cultists are retreating. Their connection to the Gate... it’s gone.”Seraphina n
The Devil's Obsession Chapter Eleven: The Shard Vale
The wind howled like a wounded god.As Seraphina and her companions crossed into the northern borders of the kingdom, the world changed. The sky turned iron-gray, the trees skeletal, and the earth beneath their horses cracked with frost even though it was spring. This was no ordinary terrain.This was cursed land.This was the Shard Vale.“The last time anyone came this far north,” Eveline muttered, pulling her cloak tighter, “they never returned.”Seraphina didn’t answer. She couldn’t. The deeper they traveled, the more her ring burned against her skin, and the gauntlet pulsed faintly like it recognized something buried in the very bones of this land.Lucien rode ahead, his eyes scanning the woods. “The silence here isn’t natural.”“No,” Dante said from behind her, his voice quiet. “It’s the kind of silence that listens.”Seraphina nodded. “Because the Vale is alive.”And it was.---By nightfall, they reached the edge of the frozen forest where the old stone stood—a half-buried mono
The Devil's Obsession Chapter Ten: Queen of Embers
The ash had barely settled over the battlefield when the rumors began.Kaelith was dead. The rebellion shattered. The Flameborn Queen had stood against darkness and burned it away. But power, Seraphina knew, was a fragile thing. Even fire could flicker if starved.She stood at the palace balcony as dawn broke over the capital. Below, the people stirred with cautious hope. In the far distance, the Ash Valleys still smoldered—remnants of a war won in blood, not peace.“I crowned myself in light,” Seraphina whispered. “But I rule in the shadow of what comes next.”Behind her, Dante approached, his steps soft but deliberate. He didn’t speak at first, only placed a hand on the small of her back. It grounded her.“They’ll expect something today,” he said.“They always do.”“And you’ll give it to them.”“Not what they think.” She turned to him. “The rebellion’s not over, Dante. We ended the figurehead. Not the belief.”His jaw tightened. “Then what’s the plan?”She stared toward the Ashline.
The Devil's Obsession Chapter 9: Rise of the Flameborn
The crown felt heavier than Seraphina expected. Not in weight, but in memory. Forged from the melted remnants of her mother’s circlet, fused with silver and quiet flame, it was more than a symbol. It was a warning. A vow. A scar she chose to wear in plain sight. She stood in the Hall of Binding, the flame-marked banners of the allied houses draped behind her. Nobles and soldiers filled the chamber. The silence was reverent. Waiting. She stepped forward, lifting the crown into the light. “I did not come here to rule,” Seraphina said, her voice steady. “But to end what was broken. To bind what was shattered.” Murmurs swept the room. “I wear this not as a tyrant. Not as a saint. But as a shield.” She placed the crown on her head. The flames in the sconces flared. The people bowed. And the age of the Flameborn began. --- The following weeks moved like war hidden in ceremony. Letters from distant houses arrived daily—some offering allegiance, others thinly veile
