His Dark Obsession 13. His Deception
EVANGELINE. I spent the morning in the off-limits library, a place that is not open to the public. Only a select few are allowed to venture here. A place that feels like it has not been disturbed in years, these books contain such precious history and are preserved by magic, but I can feel the spells have weakened greatly, some not even holding up on half the books resulting in them becoming unreadable. The musty smell of dust and old books has seeped into my nose, ticking it. I have sneezed plenty of times. I found two books on vampires earlier that I hoped might have some answers, but I decided not to look at those here, placing them aside to take and study when I’m alone. Alistair has been a blessing, lightening the mood considerably when seeing the large piles of faded, battered books to go through. At the same time, trying to make sure we don’t damage them further. Alistair is sifting through them, trying to organise them, whilst Lucia and I bury our heads in the old scrolls
His Dark Obsession 14. Guilt
ZEDKIEL. I’m about to run after her, but Kash blocks my path. The crushing pain in my chest is unbearable. Her words ring in my mind and the repercussions that they carried, sting. I’m losing my mind. I need her. I can’t imagine life without her. I know I once promised her that she could leave, but now… even if she wants to leave, I will not let her. How easily she was ready to throw me away… “Move aside.” I snarl. My heart is thundering and the urge to kill everyone within the vicinity is overcoming me. Friend or foe, it was all becoming a blur. All Zerachiel and I want is destruction if we don’t get to go to her. “I know you want to go after her, but you need to calm down. I’ve sent some guards to watch over her at a distance. Zed, give her an hour or two to calm down and then you can go. If you go in anger, it’s only going to make matters worse.” Kash tries to reason with me. “She misunderstood.” I snarl. My claws are out and I’m trying to control myself from ripping him in
His Dark Obsession 15. Her Secret
EVANGELINE. I am fighting my tears as I run out the gates of the castle, trying not to let his lies and deception shatter me entirely. A part of me is telling me to calm down and go back to him and make it clear he’s mine alone, but another part is telling me I had given him chances and it isn’t outside the norm for alphas to have mistresses. Just the way his brothers and his father do… I bite back a whimpering sob as Luna curls up within my mind. Weren’t mates supposed to be one for one? ‘He won’t betray us.’ Luna whispers. I can feel her pain but she’s still trying to comfort me. ‘Won’t he?’ Evelyn murmurs, unhelpfully. Nothing I do can remove the image of him hugging her from my mind and even when I was trying to make sense of it, he was hell-bent on protecting her. I keep running, speeding up when I sense others hot on my heels. It’s not hard to outrun them, although I know I can simply command them to stop and they would have to, but I don’t want to abuse my powers. Soo
His Dark Obsession 16. This Pain
EVANGELINE. I gasp, as Zed is thrown to the ground so unexpectedly that he doesn’t have time to protect himself. His head slams into the rocks behind him and I cry out in panic and fear. What have I done?! I attempt to rush towards him, my heart thundering violently, guilt and agony tearing through me. To my horror, my body refuses to move. That darkness and unease that has been circling me, strengthens immensely. What is going on? Why did I react so cruelly towards him? Almost as if I have no control of my body. Isa had just explained everything to me so why am I hurting him? I try to move, try to explain, but I’m unable to. He’s hurting! “Evangeline.” He says as he sits up, and it breaks me to see there is only worry and regret in those eyes of his, despite the blood that is dripping down the back of his neck. Zed… “Baby girl, are you ok?” He approaches me, uncaring of his own injury. I hurt him… how could I hurt him… He raises his hand, reaching for me, when I feel as i
His Dark Obsession 17. A Dreary Night
ZEDKIEL. This day is one that I will always remember. The threat she held over me – she meant it. It was sickening to watch her take on Evangeline’s coy demeanour, to see her fit in with all her ways, and only when I told Kash what happened did he believe me. Night has now fallen, and she is asleep by my side. No matter how fucking angry I am, my woman is inside there somewhere. I regret that the last words we exchanged were ones of anger. Hers hurt like a fucking knife in the chest, but to hold on to my sanity I tell myself that she was not herself when she spoke those words. My Evangeline knows she means the fucking world to me. No one else matters, only her. I will do anything for her. Anything. ‘But if you weren’t so nice to that woman! Then our mate wouldn’t have been hurt!’ Zerachiel snarls menacingly. His wrath burns me like poison and guilt rips through me. I know I messed up, I never meant for this to happen. I was just fucking trying to do the right thing. I sit the
His Dark Obsession 18. Into Play
ZEDKIEL. It’s the following day and I’m going to try to talk to her. She’s wearing a very appealing black lace bra and thong as she admires her body in the mirror. Or should I say Evangeline’s body? Either way, I can’t deny that she’s a dangerous temptation. “Do you want to have some fun? You enjoyed it the last time.” She says as she turns and advances on me. She runs her tongue along her lips before she bites down on her lower one. Her hips sway sensually and her scent fills my nose. Still, Evangeline’s but it’s a little different… I can’t explain it… She is in her body, after all. “Not like this.” I say. The plan is not to anger her. “How about we take it slow?” “You didn’t seem to want slow last time.” She counters. “I didn’t know it was you… now that I do… let's not forget you’re you and deserve to be treated equally.” I say huskily. She frowns, watching me suspiciously before she climbs into my lap, running her hands up my arms. It feels like a betrayal to Evangeline and
His Dark Obsession 19. To the Next Step
ZEDKIEL. I couldn’t believe it took so long to finalise a team. As I sat there with Kash, I was hesitant, and in the end, I have rounded it off to people I know. During that time Evelyn feasted on grapes while watching us, as she swings her legs from where she’s sitting as she turns back to the television. Something she clearly enjoys, it's currently some horror show and every time something disturbing happens, she cackles like a witch. “Do you need him?” Kash asks regarding Adonis. I sigh. “I know you don’t want him around, but this is a mission, and I need efficient warriors. If it was down to that, I mean, I wouldn’t even take you, but I’m hoping they have an answer and a way to heal you.” I say quietly as I shuffle some of the papers with the warrior stats on them around. “We’ll see…” ‘We will find a way.’ I say firmly through the link. ‘Yeah, but if we don’t… take care of Isa for me…’ He says quietly. His face is unreadable, but I realise that in that moment he’s sentencin
His Dark Obsession 20. The Beginning
EVELYN. The ticking of the clock is loud in my ears as I await his return. He said Zerachiel’s going to spend time with me. I hide my smile, trying to pay attention to the movie. Evangeline never cared for leisure much, always wanting to please others, but me? The only person I want to please is Zerachiel… He’s never even looked my way, especially since my wolf died… From all our past lives, this is the first time either Zedkiel or Zerachiel have even treated me like a being with emotions… I don’t know how to feel about that… My heart squeezes painfully as I stare at the screen, unseeing. All I want is his acknowledgement… And Zedkiel… He certainly doesn’t care for me. After all, he’s the one who kills me… That time is nearing again when my own mate will kill me… but this time Zedkiel’s been almost nice… Or it’s all just a front because he’s planning something. The seed of self-doubt licks at the simmering flames inside of me. The urge to destroy everything rises as that doubt g

His Dark Obsession Epilogue
EVANGELINE. ONE YEAR LATER… “Oh my…”I say, unable to stop myself from biting my lip as I look over at my sexy naked man who has tossed aside the towel he has just dried his body with and now approaches the bed entirely naked. “If I wasn’t already pregnant, I might just end up pregnant tonight.” He sits down on the bed, a cocky smirk on his face. “I wouldn’t mind practising the art.” He says, as he pulls me on top of him. I’m halfway through my pregnancy and we’ve been told we’re having a boy. Learning about the pregnancy was bittersweet. I was happy, yet it brought back the memory of the child that was taken from us. A child I had not been able to see when I had gone to the realm, despite the ability to cross once a year, I was confined to the Palace of Moonlight. I nurture the tree of bonds before I then must return to earth. Raziel and Selene are trying to get Eshe to bring my child to the palace, but there has been no reply to any of their messages. “I wouldn’t mind that,” I
His Dark Obsession 74. How Time Has Changed
EVANGELINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER... “Thank you, your majesty.” Someone says as I steady them from tripping over their own feet. We’ve officially hosted the coronation ball for both the Vampire King and his Queen and the Alpha Queen and her Alpha King. A combined coronation and one that showed the beginning of unity between the two species. The night had gone well, and both sides had been cordial enough. It had taken place at the Moon Stone Pack, but we have begun building a castle, halfway between both territories which will be used for state affairs. Now, I think I’m ready to turn in for the night. I have talked to many and danced the night away. I gather up the white net skirt to my glittering dress as I step out into the warm night. “Alpha Queen Evangeline.” I turn to see Sinclair leaning against a pillar, alone. He’s dressed in a tux, hands in his pocket as he approaches me. “Alpha Sinclair.” I say formally. I noticed there was no sight of Celia tonight. I guess she wouldn’t w
His Dark Obsession 73. Nothing Will Stop Me
ZEDKIEL. A week has passed since the trials and Kash and Ziahra have left. Apparently, they are going to take things easy but as far as I can tell, they are constantly making out. So irritating and disgusting to see. Jason had told Kash he is in no rush to stand down and I think that is something Kash appreciated. Although Ziahra had made it clear, she did not want him to follow her when she left, he told her he’ll accompany her and only be staying a day or so before he returns home. They may act like they have this love and hate thing going on, but I have seen she has marked him back, which says enough. I still need time to get used to the two of them being together. I know he’s trying to find Isa, but I told him he may just lead Godric to her if he tries to find her. You've got to think smart and play smarter. Last night Evangeline told me that Evelyn is leaving today, she has avoided me a lot since she has returned with her own body. It's a shame, considering I feel that we ha
His Dark Obsession 72. Wait For Me
ZIAHRA. I’ve been here for long enough, Mom’s ashes have been laid to rest and the trials are done. Zedkiel has a lot to do, but Evangeline needs him, so I offered to go and handle the things that can be done on his behalf. We own several lands between the vampire territory and the Moon Stone Pack, and a new home will be built where Zedkiel can handle official business, but ultimately until it’s done he will have to travel back and forth for a while. I don’t want to go… but I have to. Mom was killed by Zed’s Lycan, and although Evangeline had apologised for it, I don’t blame her, this wasn’t her fault, however, I need some time to mourn. I’m ready to take some time to accept her death. I had fought so hard for the last few years to save her, and then… in the end, she died. Just like that… It only takes moments for death to take us… no matter the length of our life span, our loved ones can still be taken in a matter of minutes. No one is invincible. But leaving meant… Kash… The
His Dark Obsession 71. There's Still Hope
CHASYN. Night has fallen and I’m sitting on the balcony in one of the guest rooms. I have been residing here ever since everything that happened recently, unable to go to the quarters where I had spent time with Maryka. When I found her and realised she was my mate, I had been tempted to reject her, because of her link to the Night Shade pack as well, although I had no qualm with it, after all, mother was from there, but in truth, I did not want to give up on another… someone I had fallen deeply in love with. But it was never an option I was allowed to even consider. Fated mates were rare and to find mine and consider rejecting them would have been frowned upon and so I had taken her as my own, made her my Luna, marked her, and married her. But I know she didn’t like my Omegas, and I couldn’t blame her. Any man or woman would feel jealousy if their mates were with other people. Although by then, there had only been one I was addicted to but I had stopped being intimate with her to
His Dark Obsession 70. The Final Trials
ZEDKIEL. The day of the final few trials has arrived and those with the heaviest crimes will stand to hear their judgement today. The last few days have weighed heavily on Evangeline. It has taken longer as more people than we initially assumed had ended up playing a part in the crimes committed against the Pack and Kingdom. Some were stripped of rank, others exiled, and some were imprisoned. However, today Danciana, Maryka, Draven, Drystan, and a few of the council members will have their crimes publicly stated, and given the correct punishments that they deserve. Maryka… She had been the one to kill our father. Ragnar had been ready to kill her himself but had to be restrained. It had shaken Chasyn to the core. Yes, it had been glaringly obvious that she did play a huge part but the extent of her part in all of this was huge. She had been planning it with the traitors of the Night Shade Pack for months, and when she had figured out Jeremiah’s plan after Chasyn had refused to fi
His Dark Obsession 69. One Last Visit
EVANGELINE. Zedkiel is at the king’s grave, and I have decided to go visit Lucia who is still in hospital. Although she is much better, due to how badly she had been injured, the doctors want to keep an extra eye on the baby’s health and with it being common knowledge that it’s Chasyn’s the risk to her health is greater. I was paid respect by everyone I pass; I have easily become recognised as the Queen, but rumour has also travelled that I am a goddess. I do not feel like one when I can’t even save my own child. Every night, I pray and plead for our child to be returned to us, but there is never an answer and I know I will not get one either. I slow down as I reach Lucia’s room. She’s been moved into a private room by herself, and I now knock on the door and enter after she gives me permission. “Hey…” I say softly as I enter, slowly closing the door behind myself and walk over to the bed. “Hello, Evangeline.” She says smiling, she looks better today. Her bruises are all healed,
His Dark Obsession 68. Regrets
ZEDKIEL. A cool wind blows past me as I stare down at the tomb before me with a heavy heart. The funeral was yesterday for all those who passed and for our king… I stare at the engravings on the tombstone. ‘HERE LIES THE BODY OF A JUST KING, A LOVING FATHER, AND A RESPECTED ALLY. SUPREME ALPHA AMBROSE VILKAS’ Father… Four days have passed since our return and there is a lot to do and a lot that we have already done, but we all needed time to mourn those we have lost. We have suffered, and we have all lost someone that we loved. They will not be easily forgotten. I crouch down before the tombstone and look at the flowers that adorn the ground around the grave. Father… I wish I could have told you this when you were alive, but… I want you to know that I appreciated everything you did for me. For the trust, you kept in me. Thank you for treating me as a person and not as a monster… I love you, Father… I close my eyes as I allow my sorrow to wash through me. I lower my head, Maryk
