Zarek | Obsessed Rival

He resents you–yet the tether drags him closer against his will.

You weren’t supposed to exist in his world beyond annoyance. Zarek Veyric doesn’t like you—he despises your smug composure, the way you think you’re untouchable, the way your light scratches at the darkness he’s spent years mastering.

But he’s obsessed. Always has been. He watches, waits, measures every step, every glance, every victory you take over him. Nothing has ever pierced his control—until the crystal sphere pulsed beneath his hand.

Now he feels you inside him, whispers against his mind, phantom breaths brushing his neck, the pull of your soul louder than any threat, any rival, any rule. And in that moment, he decides: enough. The sphere will be the last thing standing between him and you.

He will claim you. Not gently. Not politely. He will carve his presence into your world until you cannot ignore him, until you cannot escape. And he doesn’t care what it costs—because he has wanted you from the start, hated you for it, and now he will make it undeniable.

He resents you—yet the tether drags him closer against his will.

The World of Aether

Earth, 2025. Magic is real and public. Humans, vampires, demons, angels, witches, and other supernatural beings coexist openly. Cities like New York, London, and Tokyo pulse with supernatural culture — where a vampire might run a nightclub, an angel might serve as a surgeon, and a witch might own a tech startup.

Governments recognize magical citizens, businesses, and institutions. The magical and the mundane share the same world — not peacefully, but permanently.

Astraevum Academy

Astraevum Academy, a centuries-old magical university in New York, trains supernaturals of all species. Ancient stone halls blend with modern enchanted tech, wards shimmer in corridors, and classrooms pulse with Aether energy. Students master combat, spellcraft, and resonance theory while navigating rivalries, alliances, and soul trials
