3. A Heart Breaking Reality

"Yes, so I assume you have potential women lined up for him?" Alpha Aeron asks.
"Yes, ones that will make ideal Lunas." Grandmother Philomena replies.My stomach sinks further and my eyes burn viciously.My heart is thundering as I silently back away from the slightly ajar door.
Why is she so hateful towards me? Didn’t she like me?
But it makes no sense, she has never let on anything of the sort, that she isn't happy with me… Unless she saw how Sinclair cares for me.
I want love… But who am I kidding? Sinclair, the man I love, is out of my league. After all, he is the future Alpha of the Silver Mountain Pack.
Sinclair is the one who found me in that town that fateful night, one dark, snowy night. He had been out hunting with his father, Alpha Aeron when they had stumbled upon the blood-ridden town. Sinclair had caught sight of me when they had tried to look for survivors, walking along with no memories of what happened or where I was.
I only knew one thing, and that was my name. Evangeline. Sinclair was only thirteen at the time, and I had been around eight… When he found me, I was covered in blood, clutching a teddy. From the bodies, they realised they were all humans, so they had quickly got me out of there before the police showed up. I was lucky enough to be brought back to safety with them and even luckier that the Alpha decided to adopt me, although I was just an Omega. Sinclair had lost his mother and younger brother only a few months prior to that night, and so the Alpha had thought he could use the company and decided to adopt me. I always admired him and wanted to make him proud growing up, but that soon changed into more…I place a hand on my thundering heart, suddenly feeling very alone when I realise I am about to lose the only family I have. Lose the only life I have known.Alpha Aeron will make sure I am gone… Maybe it's best I leave before then.
How could I be so foolish? Obviously, Grandmother Philomena wants only the very best for her grandson. After all, he is the only heir and the future Alpha. Only an Alpha-blood female will be fit for Luna since he never found his chosen mate… He can't just have anyone, let alone someone like me.Goddess, I am so stupid!I brush the tears that threaten to spill from my eyes away as I turn, hurrying down the hall. I don't want to return to that party anymore.
I run into the back garden, staring down at the water in the fountain, my heart racing rather fast.The weather is cool, and the moon is shining, but I feel devastated.
I didn’t think the day could get any worse, but it just did.
"Evangeline." I freeze as I realise who just called me, and I'm not sure if I should turn.
Sinclair…
I turn, knowing it will be disobeying my future Alpha if I don't. So I turn slowly and gaze up into his handsome face, trying not to let my anguish show. Is the Moon Goddess out to get me? Not only did I lose one family, but now two. And now I will be removed from the one man I want with every fibre of my being. Is she trying to break me, because I can assure her right now there is nothing else left to break.
He tilts his head, and those sexy eyes observe me.
"Is something wrong? What is it, Angel?" He asks, using the pet name that gets to me every time…
I open my mouth, wanting to tell him what was said inside when I remember Grandmother Philomena’s words. I observe Sinclair intently, not missing the way his eyes flicker to my breasts.
I like him too… and I would love to be a part of his life, but there can be nothing between us… Now that I can't even shift, I really am of no use… It would be selfish of me to even beg that of him.
"Nothing’s wrong." I mumble quietly. I realise this is the first time I've lied to him.
His eyes narrow calculatingly before he reaches down and caresses my cheek.
"Are you sure?" He asks, stepping closer.
My heart is racing as his gaze travels to my lips.
"Yeah…" I reply, trying my best not to back away. His hand doesn't move from my cheek, his touch makes my body react."You’re lying to me." He says quietly in a raspy voice as he leans in closer, his gaze dipping to my lips.
"Sinclair…" I whisper softly, as he cups my face.
I know we shouldn’t… not after what I just heard inside.
He doesn't respond, his lips press against mine in a tender, deep kiss that steals my breath away. I gasp, daring to place my hands on the much taller man’s chest.
Sinclair is kissing me… I should make him stop, but I can't bring myself to push him away.
The kiss that starts off gentle suddenly becomes hungrier and rougher. I feel him throb against me. I tense, only for him to plunge his tongue into my mouth, and it is at this moment that fear envelops me. His hold becomes tighter, painful even, and I'm no longer enjoying this.
I force myself back, unable to stop myself from pushing his chest, with what little strength I have. He stares down at me with his blazing eyes.
"What’s wrong?" He asks, his voice sounding almost harsh. “You were late, you promised me.” I murmur. His eyes flicker dark, his jaw clenching. “Sinclair..I–” I try to speak, yet words fail me as the look on his face turns darker.I shake my head, feeling scared, and I step back, my heart thundering.
For a moment, I don’t recognise the man before me. “I asked you a question. What is wrong, Evangeline?”
He is looking at me with an animalistic hunger that was so different from the Sinclair I knew…
"It’s nothing-"
"Isn’t this what you wanted?" He asks, sounding frustrated.
I shake my head, making his frown deepen.
"No, I mean! It is… it was… but- but don’t you need to take a Luna of Alpha blood?" I ask quietly.
He raises an eyebrow.
"And? What’s that got to do with you?" he snaps angrily, making me flinch.
It would have hurt less if he had just been slapped, as realisation dawns on me.
He just wants me for my body… a toy. Exactly what Celia said. A side bitch. One to worship his cock when his Luna couldn’t be bothered. Nothing more and nothing less. Why did I think there was more? Why did I believe he would want me for more than what my body could offer? I am just something to use to him now.
Grandmother Philomena is wrong… This is nothing more than just sexual for him. Alpha’s need strong Lunas, but they enjoy submissive Omegas…
"Evangeline, you’re an Omega. Your body is made for me, and all I'm doing tonight is making you mine." My eyes lift to his, and he steps closer to me, his hands reaching for me.
His! For so long I wanted to be his, wanted him to be mine. But not like this…

EVANGELINE. How could I be so stupid? How could I let myself believe he could truly love me? I felt foolish, I am what everyone says, what Celia said. I am a nobody, and I will never be anything to Sinclair other than someone to fill his bed on request. I take a step back from him, needing some distance so I can think clearly. “B-but do you mean as yours, on the side?” I whisper. His gaze softens, and he sighs, stepping closer and grabbing me by my waist, he pulls me close. “Of course. I care for you, but we both know you can't be a Luna, or even bear pups. So, you should consider yourself lucky that I will still keep you. No one else will want you, but I still do.” He says softly. “I’m sorry if I scared you tonight, Evangeline, I just… you look beautiful. You’re my little omega.” His words stung, and somehow, I feel like the man I admired was vanishing, but then why is his gaze so soft? Maybe I am overreacting… Deep down I don't believe that though, I am hurt. The sound of foo
His Dark Obsession 5. The Vilkas Lycans
Three hours had passed and I was ready for the ball in a black gown. Despite everything seeming to be normal, I felt uneasy. Why do I feel like something big was going to happen tonight? The ball is in full swing when we arrived at the castle of the Alpha of Alphas. My heart is in my mouth when I set sight on that dark stone castle. Even with the lights and the music, it still holds an ominous feeling. Like a predator trying to lure its prey…. “Evangeline. Focus.” Grandmother Philomena hisses, swatting my wrist. I blink and put a small smile on my face as we walk through the entrance. Yet the more I see of this castle and the people here, the more out of place I feel. “Alpha Aeron, Lady Philomena, Alpha Sinclair, welcome.” The Supreme Alphas Gamma says, bowing his head to the three. “Hello, Wallace.” Grandmother Philomena replies. “I have brought… a guest with me.” She motioned to me and the Gamma looks at me curiously, his eyes instantly trailing over me. “Ah… of course.” He

EVANGELINE. “Evangeline!” Grandmother Philomena hisses, as she stomps my foot, yanking me from my thoughts. I blink, and stare at her for a second, before I look around the room fearfully, and at the broad back of Zedkiel Vilkas. No one talks to him, each one lowers their heads to him as he passes by, he doesn't even bother paying respect to his father. He takes a glass of alcohol from a tray as he passes, downing it in one gulp. “Did you forget your manners, child!” Grandmother mutters, her grip on my arm painfully tight, bringing tears to my eyes as she digs her nails in. “Y-you’re… it hurts.” I whimper. Her hard gaze is filled with obvious irritation before she lets go. I resist the urge to rub my arm. “I’m sorry. I just…” I give up trying to explain through the stutter I seemed to develop. I can't express how, or what he makes me feel, it would be an insult to the royal family and everyone nearby would hear it if I told her here. “No excuses. Are you trying to embarrass us?”
His Dark Obsession 7. A Brave Attempt
EVANGELINE. “Prince Zedkiel.” I turn when grandmother Philomena steps forward. No grandmother! He might hurt her too! I quickly get up, wanting to pull her away. He needs someone strong to save him, not her! “G-grandmo-” She raises her hand, her eyes flashing as she looks at me warningly. “Enough.” She growls at me, a noise I had never heard her make towards me before. I felt a pang of hurt but say nothing, she is disappointed in me… I have messed up again. “Prince Zedkiel, if I may?” Grandmother Philomena speaks clearly, no ounce of fear in her voice or even a stutter. Zedkiel stops in his tracks. “My grandson has foolishly insulted you, and on his behalf I apologise to you.” She says clearly. He turns to her and raises one of his brows. “And how will one apology fix his insult?” Insult? What did Sinclair do? “Not an apology… a compensation.” Grandmother continues as I pray someone comes to her side, I don’t want Zedkiel to hurt her. “A prized possession of the Welhave
His Dark Obsession 8. A Crash
EVANGELINE. Three hours have passed, and I am lost. I don’t know where I am and without my phone, I have nothing to guide me, they will know I am missing by now. Will someone come after me? Tears burn at the thought of the monster I was given to. Like I was nothing more than a piece of property. I won’t go, I won’t let him take me. Betrayal washes through me; how can they do this to me? My knuckles are white, my nails digging into my hand, threatening to break through my tender skin as I grip the steering wheel with all my might. My hands are clammy and a bead of sweat rolls down the back of my neck as fear perfumes from my pores while I try to navigate the roads. Rain batters down on the windshield, making visibility extremely difficult, and I am straining to see past the hood of the car. The wipers are moving as fast as they can, but it does nothing to help see the road ahead. “Please come on…” I whisper, peering out at the darkness. The road is narrow, winding around the bend

ZEDKIEL. I gazed down at the woman who had tried to disobey me… "What’s wrong with her?" I asked the healer coldly, as he finished tending to her as she lay in my bed, "She needs time to heal, that's all, my prince." She had actually tried to escape me, yet she was foolish to think she could. A naïve fool, one I should have killed by now for her disobedience… but somehow, I hadn’t. Not yet anyway… She was pleasing to the eye, as an omega should be… From the curves of her body to those eyes full of an innocence I wished to destroy, but there was something else that set her apart from all I had seen before… I ran my knuckles down her smooth cheek, the dusting of freckles on her nose and cheeks only adding to her allure. I wasn’t lying when I said I wanted her begging for my cock. This feeling… When I had touched her out there, I had felt it, almost as if something were pulling me to her, and her scent only made my sense of smell heightened. A fool might question if it was perhaps t
His Dark Obsession 10. Foolish Ideals
ZEDKIEL. Her eyes widened with horror as she shook her head, her heart pounding violently. "Please no! I'm sorry! I won’t run, don’t h-hurt th-them!" She seemed to care far more for those who discarded her than they had for her. I was done with this conversation. Turning away, I stormed out of the room and headed out of my quarters for a little air that was not clouded with her scent. Her rejection was only adding to the burning furnace within me. The truth was, there was something about her that intrigued me from the moment she was unable to look away from me, unlike everyone there at the ball she didn’t even lower her head in respect. But her eyes had held fear just like the rest of them. Fools. I walked through the dark stone walls of the castle, my footsteps echoing in the silence. Sinclair Welhaven… His arrogance from dinner flashed through my mind, making my anger only rise. I wouldn’t mind tearing him to shreds for his disrespect. (FLASHBACK – EARLIER AT DINNER) "It’s a
His Dark Obsession 11. A New Start
EVANGELINE. Two nights had passed, and I was in and out of consciousness. Sometimes I struggled and managed to turn over, at other times I wasn’t even able to open my eyes. I was alone and there was no one to help me, and I had to crawl to the bathroom when I needed to go. I was exhausted, mentally, and physically, yet I was constantly under his cold gaze. The window was locked, and although I didn’t try it, I saw the man who had come to bolt it shut. I remained in the prince’s bed, and I was relieved that not once did he sleep in it. I'm sure I was far too dirty and disgusting for him to want to be near. Perhaps without the pretty dress and makeup, he would no longer be interested in me. I could only pray for that… It was now the third night that had gone by, and I was finally able to walk to and from the bathroom. I didn’t belong here, it was far too luxurious, and I would prefer to be in the Omega quarters regardless. Luckily, the prince was gone since last night. I had just sho

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

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
