The Obsidian Covenant #1: The Rejected Mate's Ruin CHAPTER 171: The Feedback Loop
POV: GullerIt wasn't healing. It was an exorcism.I crouched behind the wreckage of a server bank. I shielded my eyes. The light erupting in the center of the laboratory was chaotic. Blinding. To the biological eye, it was a girl holding a monster. To my Sight, it was a catastrophe.Neoma had latched onto Viggo’s soul. She had sunk a spiritual grappling hook into his marrow. She wasn't just touching him; she was siphoning the Red Mist. She was pulling the concentrated essence of the Feral Rot directly into her own veins.It felt like pouring liquid fire into a cup made of cracked glass."Neoma!" I screamed.My voice was lost in the roaring wind of the energy displacement."Let go! You are full! The machine... you cannot hold more!"She didn't hear me.Her spine bowed backward like a drawn bowstring. Her muscles were rigid cords. Her skin was turning a necrotic, terrifying black. The veins in her neck bulged. They pulsed with a sludge that looked like oil.Void Sickness.The diagnosis
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
