Lahat ng Kabanata ng DARK OBSESSION FOR THE REJECTED LUNA: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

-NIA’S POV-Run.Get away from him.Diving through the already pried-open window, I landed on my stomach on the high grass outside and rolled a bit. I got up with a jolt. Without hitching, I galloped into the wide cornfield. Blades of the young corn leaves scraped my legs as I stormed through the maize, crushing a few stalks.The night smelled fresh, divine. The moon poured a silvery glow over the land with graceful ease, lightening the upcoming path. To my left were the speckling lights of a distant town.Lykoan’s wolf growled behind me. It cut across the sky and stabbed the moon. It was the scariest thing that I ever heard. I knew he was shifting. He was howling for his mate and his desire tore at my heart. It caused my wolf to use her strength against me.“Go back! Go Back to Sultan!” Starr snapped in my head. I realized that it was the name of his wolf. Cute.Looking behind always made the movie characters trip and fall. It was a common mistake I refused to make in this reality. S

-NIA’S POV-“You’re awake! Thank you, goddess!” The strange woman exclaimed, her voice filled with relief. Her hazy form hovered over me, head tilting from left to right, assessing me. “Are you alright? Please talk to me.”Who was this woman?Hafts of sunlight crept in from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, extending across the bed and warming me up after a cold night's sleep.The white sheets swaddled me, warmly and tender like my mother's arms. The faint smell of snapdragon and lemon lingered on my skin.I groggily forced my eyes to stay open and glanced around. At first, a feeling of panic arose inside of me as I took in my new surroundings, but then, the previous night's events caught up to me, and humiliation and dread flooded my chest.I inhaled sharply when I remembered how he screwed my mouth into a mind-blowing kiss. My nipples pricked at the memory of his hot tongue working it. My body lit on fire. I shook the next images away, triple-locked it, and threw the keys to the de

-NIA’S POV-How did we go from me asking ‘How’s your wound?’ to being pinned against the wall with Lykoan’s dress shirt ripped off his sculpted body?“Why don’t you check for yourself?” He taunted, taking my hands and guiding them around his bare torso to the firm ridges of his smooth back.My stomach rolled with little earthquakes that just would not quit, then they turned into a full-fledged roil when Lykoan began moving my hands up and down his skin. The sparks zinged under my fingertips with his face dipped. He stared into my soul while I was glancing up at him, dazed.I held his gaze for as long as possible, trying to prove to him that I could remain unaffected. Unlucky for me, the intensity of his eyes caused my cheeks to heat up. Motion, motion denied. I swung my eyes away.Damn, those raunchy lilac eyes!A sense of shame washed over me.There were no scar tissues on his back. He was completely healed. Realizing the awkwardly intimate position we were in and that he intended to

-LYKOAN’S POV-Wait a fucking minute!“Why is the vampire dead?” I growled, looking at the amputated male head rolling towards my feet as blood spewed out of it to create red puddles on the rough gray floor.My angry voice bounced off the blood-stained walls of the windowless torture chamber in the large, dimly lit underground dungeon that stemmed from an old dome-shaped warehouse.Tightly secured by two scores of guards, it was a simple bluestone-tiled area that led to a long passageway between two rows of silver-barred cells. Thriving with molds and fungi, most of the cells were empty but a few contained law-breaking pack members and irremediable rogues.“He wasn’t talking.” Gamma Josh complained with his hands behind his back. His green eyes met mine and I did not miss the spots of blood that was in his apricot buzz cut hair. “He wouldn’t give me his name even after I gave him my name.”“He was just another knucklehead who was hired to make up their attacking numbers.” Jacques fill

-NIA’S POV-A threat hung in the air as Lykoan radiated with waves of anger. He did not even blink for a minute while he glared murderously at the doctor. He balled his fists. His knuckles cracked and ashen.Territorial Alpha mate, I scoffed internally.I was frozen on the couch, unable to look away for fear of what was coming next. A part of me felt sorry for the man who would be receiving the blow of his wrath. Poor Gawain.I wanted to be anywhere but in the middle of this.Gawain cleared his throat, shifted uncomfortably on his feet and rambled, "Boss, it appears that Nia is in good health. Based on my observations, there are no indications of a concussion or any physical injuries. She has healed nicely from the silver, but her wolf is restless and needs to shift. Her joints hurt because she’s not completely in her human form. Her wolf is involuntarily transforming."Phew!Easy fix. It was just a bad case of natural causes. Although, I wasn’t aware that not letting my wolf out could
