last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2026-02-27 22:05:13

POV: Neoma

They didn't ask questions to get answers. They asked to hear you scream.

In the Dregs, interrogation was messy—a rusty knife, a lot of shouting, the smell of fear-sweat and piss. In the Citadel, it was sterile. It was a white room. A chair bolted to the floor. And a light so bright it felt like it was bleaching the thoughts right out of my skull. My eyes watered constantly, stinging and gritty.

I squinted against the glare. My wrists chafed against the metal cuffs. Raw skin rubbed ag

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 170: The Standoff

    POV: NeomaHe wasn't gone. He was just buried under the biological imperative to kill.I watched Barzil fall. The Iron Warden, the man who had been a wall of muscle and gravity between me and the world, crumpled.He hit the floor plates with a heavy, final thud.Blood pooled instantly. It was dark, rich, and viscous against the white tile. It smelled of iron."Barzil!" Wolfy screamed.He tried to rise from the corner. His leg was twisted at an unnatural angle. The bone pressed against the skin.Viggo didn't look at the man he had just gutted. The monster didn't acknowledge collateral damage.The monster only acknowledged the target.He loomed over me.Twelve feet of matted fur and muscle vibrated with a chemical hate so potent I tasted bile. The Red Mist swirled around his ankles. It fed him. It kept the fire stoked in his blood.His breath washed over me. It was hot. Wet. It smelled of copper pennies and raw meat. Drool, thick and pink with foam, dripped from his jowls. It landed on

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 169: The Monster Released

    POV: WolfyA Feral Lycan was a tragedy. A Feral Viggo was a tectonic event.The sound of the Class 5 Barzil Barrier shattering wasn't like glass breaking. It was auditory trauma. A subsonic boom that ruptured the air.The reinforced energy field groaned. Then it detonated. The force of the creature throwing itself against the pane was too much density for the containment field.Shards of translucent energy rained down. They dissolved into sparks that stung my skin."Back!" I screamed.I abandoned the terminal. My fingers were numb."Formation Delta! Defensive perimeter!"But there was no formation. There was only panic.From the cloud of crimson mist, a shape emerged.It was wrong. Biologically impossible. The skeletal structure had expanded beyond the limits of skin and tendon.Viggo had always been large. But this thing was a mockery. He stood twelve feet tall on haunches that buckled the floor plates. The metal groaned under his weight. His fur was a matted, oily black stripe on bu

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 168: The Trap

    POV: ViggoBeing alone in a room with a monster induced cortisol. Being the monster induced adrenaline.I hammered my fists against the translucent wall. The impact jarred my bones up to the shoulder. My knuckles split. Skin tore. I smeared red streaks across the energy field.It didn't vibrate. It didn't crack.The Class 5 Barzil Barrier was a solid sheet of indifference. It separated my physical form from the biological anchors that kept me sane."Let me out!" I roared.The sound was swallowed by the acoustic dampeners. It felt like shouting underwater—heavy, muffled pressure in my ears.On the other side, Barzil clutched Neoma. She was limp. Grey. Broken.She looked at me. Her violet eyes were wide. Her pupils were dilated with a terror that wasn't for her own safety. She raised a trembling hand. Black veins pulsed weakly under her skin. She tried to summon the Void to shatter the wall.A spark of black lightning fizzled against the barrier. Psst. A weak, dying sound.She was empty

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 167: The Reunion

    POV: BarzilShe looked like a broken doll. She smiled like a wolf.The laboratory was a sensory assault. The air tasted of burnt ozone and copper. It was thick with acrid smoke from the fried circuitry. The heavy, metallic fog of raw Void energy coated my tongue.Neoma lay in the center of the ruin. The slag of the destroyed table glowed cherry-red around her.She was bleeding. Dark trickles ran from her eyes, her nose, her ears. Her skin was grey, translucent. The silver light was extinguished. Her limbs were sprawled at unnatural angles, as if the bones had been liquefied.But as I sprinted across the room, kicking aside debris that hissed against my boots, I saw her lips curve. It wasn't joy. It was the baring of teeth. It was the expression of a creature that had bitten the hand feeding it poison."Neoma!"I dropped to my knees. The impact jarred my joints. The floor was hot enough to scorch my combat trousers, but the adrenaline blocked the pain.I unclasped my heavy fur-lined ca

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 166: The Reversal

    POV: NeomaThey wanted my power. I decided to give them all of it.The laboratory was a sensory nightmare. The air smelled of burnt ozone, copper blood, and the high-pitched, chemical tang of fear.Barzil was a blur of violence. His sword moved with a speed that registered only as a streak of light on my retinas. The sound of metal cutting through armor was wet and sharp—like tearing thick canvas.Viggo followed him. He roared. The sound vibrated in my chest, a deep resonance that competed with the hum of the machine. He wielded a detached metal door. The impact of steel against bodies was a dull, heavy thud that cracked bone.Wolfy slid across the floor. He didn't look up. He touched the tiles, and ice bloomed in jagged spikes, freezing the boots of the guards with a sharp crack.But I was still strapped to the table.And the machine was still drinking me."Hold the line!" Nergal shouted.He retreated behind a wall of elite guards. His voice was high, strained."Protect the extractio

  • The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin   CHAPTER 165: The Surgery

    POV: NeomaThey weren't just testing me anymore. They were opening me up.The atmosphere in the Grand Viewing Gallery shifted. The scent of champagne and perfume vanished, replaced by the sharp, chemical tang of ozone and antiseptic. The Highbloods were gone. Only the white-coated scientists and the King remained."The intruders have breached the elevator shaft," Nergal announced.He watched a security feed. He didn't look worried. His jaw muscles were relaxed. He looked like a man whose dinner reservation had been delayed."They are climbing the cables. Remarkable tenacity."He turned to the lead scientist."We cannot wait for the Eclipse. If they reach the summit, they will attempt to disrupt the alignment. We need the Core now.""But Majesty," the scientist stammered.His hands hovered over the console, trembling."The Asset is only at 60% saturation. If we extract the Void Core before it is fully integrated with the solar radiation, the stability is—""I will stabilize it myself,"
