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,"
The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin CHAPTER 164: The Breach
POV: ViggoStealth was boring. Explosions were honest.The blast in the service tunnel displaced air with a concussive thump I felt in my diaphragm. The metal maintenance hatch twisted outward, hitting the marble floor with a chaotic, clattering crash that echoed down the corridor.As the smoke cleared, the alarms began.Woop. Woop.The sound was high-pitched, rhythmic, and piercing. It vibrated in my eardrums."Cover is blown," Wolfy stated.He adjusted his cuffs. His heart rate remained steady, a slow, rhythmic thud I could hear over the sirens."Probability of resistance has increased to 100%.""Finally," I grunted.I kicked the twisted metal aside. It skidded across the polished stone—a sharp, scraping sound."Form up," Barzil commanded.He drew his sword. The steel sang against the scabbard—a clear, ringing note."Viggo, point. Wolfy, control. Guller, keep the minds off us."We moved. Our boots hit the floor in a synchronized, heavy rhythm. We weren't the ragged survivors of the
