The Devil's Obsession chapter 16 velvet and fire
The portal spat them out into a windswept clearing surrounded by towering obsidian trees. Moonlight filtered through their skeletal branches, casting eerie shadows on the frost-glazed earth. Aurora stumbled forward, boots crunching against the silver grass as she caught herself on Lucien’s arm.He steadied her. “We’re in the outskirts of the Hollow Lands. They won’t find us easily here.”Aurora’s breath came out in visible puffs. “It’s freezing.”Without a word, Lucien shrugged off his long black coat—tailored from heavy wool and lined with deep crimson silk—and draped it around her shoulders. The coat swallowed her whole, the scent of him clinging to its collar—cedarwood, fire, and the faintest trace of something sinful.She clutched it tighter, unsure whether the shiver in her bones came from the cold or his nearness.Cassian appeared behind them, swiping stray leaves off his velvet waistcoat. “Nice landing. Next time, warn me before you drag me through the tear like laundry.”Lucie
The Devil's Obsession chapter 15 "The Awakening"
The silence between them was so taut it could snap. Aurora sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her fingers twisted in her lap, her pulse thudding in her ears. She dared not look up at Lucien. His presence filled the room like fire and smoke—dangerous, consuming, suffocating.“You shouldn’t have gone there,” he said at last, voice low and deadly calm.Aurora raised her eyes to meet his. “I had no choice.”Lucien’s jaw clenched. His eyes were stormy, like midnight clouds heavy with rain and wrath. “You always have a choice.”“No,” she replied evenly. “Not when you’ve taken all of them from me.”For a moment, neither moved. The air between them crackled with unspoken truths and old wounds. Then Lucien turned away, pacing the room like a predator caged.“You think I did this to hurt you,” he muttered. “To control you.”“You chained me in your mansion. You kept me in the dark. You won’t tell me what I am to you—or what you are to me. What else am I supposed to think?”His hand slammed a
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
