2026-05-02 08:00:00We stood there in the snow for what felt like hours, though it was probably only minutes, with his hand outstretched and my back against the tree and the frozen wind howling between us like a living thing that wanted to tear us apart.
I did not take his hand, and I did not run either. He did not move, and the snow fell on both of us, soft and silent and endless.
Then he stepped forward.
I flinched, pressing myself harder against the tree trunk, but he did no

The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 143: At the village
Serena's POV Alejandro did not argue, he just looked at me for a long moment. His face was grey, his jaw was tight, and his hand was on his sword. But he said nothing at all.Diego split the guard. Half went left, half went right, while Diego and I went down the middle. He was already giving orders, and the guard was already moving.The snow took our boots, but nobody waited for anyone else.I had a knife in my hand. It was the same knife Beatriz had given me. It was the same knife I had used in the passage and in the alcove. It was the only knife I had. I did not think about that, because I did not have time to think about it at the moment.The fight was short.I did not fight at the front, I fought where I was needed.I pulled a wounded guard out of the line and got him behind a rock. He was young, he was bleeding from the leg, and he could not walk on his own. I got him behind the rock and told him to stay there, and he did. I did not look back at him.I put a knife in a rebel who
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 142: The journey south
Serena's POVWe rode out of the castle's shadow before the sun had cleared the eastern wall.The horses' breath came out in white clouds. The reins were stiff with frost. The road ahead of us was the only thing that was not moving.The guard rode with their cloaks pulled tight and their hoods up. I could not tell one from another. There was no point in trying.The gate closed behind us. The envoy watched us go. The south road opened in front of us like a long white sheet, and nobody had ridden it since the snow.We did not speak for the first hour. The horses did not need to be pushed. The road was the only thing moving.I had ridden this road once before, in chains.I remembered the cart, the cold, and I remembered the guard who had put his boot on my back when I tried to sit up. I had counted the planks on the cart roof.I rode back into the human territories with a king beside me, a captain behind me, and a small guard around me. I did not know until I saw the wall of my own villag
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 141: The human settlement
Serena's POV Alejandro looked at Diego with a cold face. "What do you recommend?"Diego sighed. "The village is not worth the king's life.""That is not what I asked," Alejandro replied, and his voice was quiet.Diego did not answer. He did not have to, because his face had already said what he thought of the village, and of the humans in it, and of any plan that would take the king out of his castle to save them."I am going," I declared. I said it before I had decided it.Alejandro looked at me, and he did not answer at once."You cannot," he said flatly."I can," I told him, and I did not sit down.Alejandro was gripping the arm of the chair."The envoy will use your absence against you. He will invoke the clause while you are gone, and he will stand in front of the court and tell them the north is not ruled by a man who is not here.""The envoy will use anything against me," I told him. "He does not need a reason, only an opportunity, and if I stay here and let those people die,
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 140: The news
Serena's POVAlejandro and I finally had the conversation we had been putting off for days. It lasted less than an hour, and then the news came. It came in the middle of the afternoon.Alejandro's chambers were warm and quiet. The healer had helped him out of the throne room and into his chair beside the fire, and he had not argued about it.A blanket was over his knees, and a cup of tea sat on the table beside him going cold because he had not touched it.The steam had stopped rising from it an hour ago, and his hands were loose on the blanket. He had not noticed.The fire was burning well, and the shutters were closed. The snow had started again outside. It had been falling since noon, and it made a soft sound against the wood.The room smelled of the healer's herbs, of wood smoke, and of the beeswax they use on the shutters. I had checked twice. "No blood," I thought. "The room does not smell of blood."I stood by the window with my back to the room and did not look at him. I could
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 139: The envoy's words
Serena's POV The woman stopped in front of the throne."My name is Astrid," the eastern woman said without raising her voice. "I speak for the eastern pack. We have seen the north weakened by the rebellion, and we have come to demand territory."She said it the way a woman says a thing she has said a hundred times before and has never once been refused, and she said it as though she were reading a list.She did not ask, and she did not negotiate, because she did not blink. She demanded.The court went silent, and Diego's hand tightened on his sword. The guards at the doors shifted, and the nobles looked at each other.The fire popped once. Nobody spoke, and nobody moved.She let it sit. "The western forests," Astrid went on. "And the river valley, both of them, in return for our silence."Alejandro did not answer, and he looked at me, so I stepped forward with my hands at my sides."The north will not give up the western forests," I told her. "The north will not give up the river val
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 138: The Rival Pack
Serena's POVWe did not have time to talk.Alejandro walked from the library to the great hall with the healer on one side and me on the other, and by the time we reached the doors the court was already gathering.The nobles had been summoned, and the servants had lit the torches. The throne had been swept and covered with a fresh cloth.Someone had placed a chair beside it, and someone had placed a stool at the foot of the throne for Diego. Someone had placed a small table beside the throne with a cup of water on it, though no one had touched it.The great hall had been prepared for a reception in less than an hour. It was the fastest I had ever seen the castle move.Someone had thought to bring the silver candlesticks out of storage, and someone had thought of every small thing a court notices and a frightened man does not.Alejandro took the throne, and the healer stood behind it. Diego took his place at the foot, with his hand on his sword, and I stood beside the throne.The south
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 6: The Servant
I woke the morning after my meeting with Felipe, and the first thing I saw was the tray of food on the table, still untouched from the day before.The fire had burned low while I slept, and the room was cold enough that I could see my own breath hanging in the air. My back ached from pressing again
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 5: The court
Serena's POV The nobles smiled at me whenever I walked through the halls of the ice Castle, and that was how I knew they wanted me dead, because I had learned to read smiles a long time ago, back when I was a child who needed to know whether the person approaching her was going to hurt her or just
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 2: The King
Serena's POV I had expected a monster, the kind of monster that lived in the stories my mother used to tell me before bed, with sharp teeth and claws and eyes that glowed in the dark, but when the doors of the throne room opened and the Lycan King Alejandro walked in, I realized that I had been wr
The Lycan king's Forbidden Obssesion Chapter 1: The chains
Serena's POV The snow burned my knees through the holes in my trousers, and I had been kneeling for what felt like hours, though time moved differently when you were waiting to die, and I had been waiting to die for as long as I could remember.The chains bit into my wrists, and the metal was so c
