POV: Neoma

The Apex smelled of ozone and lies.

It was a scent so thin and sharp it made my head spin. We were ten thousand feet above the surface. Floating on a platform of anti-gravity engines and arrogance. The ballroom of the Celestial Spire was a dome of transparent crystal. It offered a panoramic view of the storm clouds churning below.

To the Highbloods, the view was majestic. To me, it was just a reminder of how far I would fall if they decided to throw me out.

"Chin up," Wolfy murmured

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   Chapter 241: The Silent Sky

    POV: Barzil AshfangThe moon was whole. The world was saved. But the dais was empty, and that meant the world had ended.Barzil lay on his side. The stone beneath his cheek was molten, radiating a heat that blistered his skin, but he didn't move. He couldn't.His inner ear was filled with a high-pitched, screaming tinnitus that drowned out his own pulse.His vision was a wall of white static. He blinked, the lids scraping over dry corneas like sandpaper. Tears leaked from the corners of his eyes, hot and stinging, trying to flush out the flash-blindness.He gasped. The air tasted of ozone and vaporized copper. It burned his throat, triggering a dry heave that convulsed his empty stomach.Get up, his brain commanded.His body refused. His muscles were jelly, dissolved by the energy transfer. He rolled onto his stomach, digging his fingers into the cracks of the basalt. His fingernails tore. He used the pain as a lever. He pushed himself up.The white static in his eyes faded to grey, t

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   Chapter 240: The Convergence

    POV: Neoma (Ascended State)She was no longer Neoma. She was the Gravity. She was the Glue.The transition wasn't a drift. It was a violent eviction. One second, she felt the burning stone of the dais and the tearing of her own skin; the next, she felt... everything.There was no air. The vacuum didn't suck the breath from her lungs because she had no lungs. Instead, the silence pressed against her consciousness, heavy and absolute.It felt like being buried in ice. Her perception expanded, exploding outward from a single point until she could feel the solar radiation stripping the atoms from her spectral form.She looked down—not with eyes, but with a sphere of awareness.The Earth was a bruised fruit, swirling with red clouds and black smoke.She looked up.The fragments. Eight hundred and forty-seven jagged mountains of rock, iron, and ancient Barzil crystals. They floated in the silence, spinning lazily, drifting apart.She felt them. Not as objects, but as amputated limbs. The sp

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   Chapter 239: The Overload

    POV: Viggo RorikShe was burning. She was turning into a star.Viggo pressed his forearms over his eyes, but the light punched through his flesh. It turned the darkness behind his eyelids into a searing, blood-red strobe.The heat was no longer atmospheric. It was microwave radiation. It cooked the sweat on his skin before it could roll down his neck. The smell of singed hair and ozone filled his nose, thick and cloying, triggering a gag reflex that convulsed his stomach."Neoma!"He screamed her name, but he couldn't hear it. The roar of the energy displacement was absolute. It vibrated his skull, shaking his teeth in their sockets.He forced his eyes open. He had to see her. Even if it blinded him.Neoma hung ten feet above the dais. She wasn't human anymore. She was a silhouette of blinding white fission. The edges of her body were blurring, the physical matter of her arms and legs unspooling into ribbons of plasma."She's disintegrating!" Wolfy’s voice cut through the earpiece, di

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   Chapter 238: The First Thread

    POV: Barzil AshfangHe felt his own wolf dissolving. He gave it gladly, but the body did not know how to let go without screaming.Barzil fell to one knee. The impact cracked the basalt plate beneath his shin, but he didn't feel the stone. He felt the hook in his chest.It was a physical sensation—a sharp, hot tug behind his sternum, as if a wire welded to his spine was being reeled out through his ribs.Release, he commanded his biology.The wolf didn't fight him. The beast inside, the ancient, growling presence that had been his second heartbeat since birth, went quiet. It didn't whimper. It simply... evaporated.The pain hit him instantly.It wasn't the sharp sting of a blade. It was the dull, sick ache of amputation. A phantom limb pain that encompassed his entire nervous system. His muscles seized, locking rigid in a full-body spasm that snapped his jaw shut. His vision grayed at the edges, tunneling down to a pinprick of light.Around him, the sounds of the crater changed.The r

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   Chapter 237: The Circle

    POV: Wolfy VanceThe energy grid lit up. It was blinding. It was beautiful.Wolfy shielded his eyes, but the flash penetrated his eyelids, searing a jagged white afterimage into his retinas. The air in the crater instantly ionized. The hair on his arms stood straight up, pulling painfully at the follicles. A taste of copper and burnt plastic filled his mouth, coating his tongue in a thick, metallic film.He looked down at his datapad. The screen was a blur of scrolling red numbers."Initiating sequence," Guller’s voice cracked over the comms. It sounded wet, strained.Wolfy gripped the console. His fingers were numb, the circulation cut off by his own death grip on the plastic casing. He forced his hand to open, shaking out the pins and needles that pricked his fingertips."Link established," Wolfy confirmed. His voice was a rasp. His throat felt lined with sandpaper.Below them, the crowd changed.It wasn't subtle. It was violent.Thirty million biological signatures flared at once.

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   Chapter 236: The Gathering

    POV: Neoma SolsticeThirty million souls, breathing in unison.Neoma felt them before she saw them. The vibration traveled through the basalt floor of the crater, up through the soles of her boots, and rattled the bones in her shins. It wasn't a sound. It was a physical pressure—a low-frequency thrum that made her teeth ache and the fluid in her inner ear vibrate.She stood on the central dais, a raised platform of black metal centered directly under the bleeding sky. The air here was hot, suffocatingly dry, and smelled of sulfur, unwashed bodies, and the sharp, metallic tang of Wolfy’s ozone generators.Her heart beat a frantic rhythm against her ribs—thud-thud-thud—too fast, syncing with the frantic energy of the crowd below. She pressed a hand to her sternum, trying to massage away the tightness in her chest, but the muscles were locked hard as stone."Grid status," she whispered. Her voice was raspy, stripped of moisture by the arid wind."Green across the board." Wolfy’s voice ca
