EVANGELINE.

I walk across the rocky ground of the chamber, the rippling waves in the lake and the wind settling a little. My own aura glows around me, illuminating the darkness. It’s still as cold as it was the last time we came, and I wait as I go down on one knee.

I need to slice my hand and wait… Scanning the ground, I select a jagged sharp rock and pick it up, slicing it into my palm.

The slight sting of the sharp rock cutting into me is barely noticeable due to how cold it is. My fingers feel numb. I hold my hand out, letting the blood pour into the lake, just as the castle clock hits twelve. The gongs echo in the dark cavern.

I close my eyes, waiting.

His aura lingers, but he’s refusing to appear. I take a deep breath, knowing this is the only chance I have.

“Alpha Raziel, first of our kind… father to our race… please allow me to help you. Help me to end this curse… I think I know why we have always failed.” I swallow hard. I’m going on guesswork. This could backfire…

  • His Dark Obsession   4. The Symbol of a Ruler

    EVANGELINE. Zedkiel is the king of vampires… “Is that why you hate him and refused to show him the sign of our true king?” “Don’t make assumptions… I was angry. The rage within me knowing that my mate was taken from me drove me to the brink of insanity. I cursed Evelyn because I was jealous that Zerachiel got to live… only I didn’t realise the Eternal God had cursed my daughters too…” He lowers his head, gazing into the rippling water. My heart squeezes as I look at Raziel… even though he had simply wanted his love, in his rage, he had cast a curse upon his own child. “Zedkiel has drank from you… for his and this kingdom’s future, you must make sure nothing happens to you like every other time… because when Selene created a protector for her daughters… she gave him powers to rival my own.” He warns me. “Zedkiel will be fine… even if something does happen to me.” But even as the words leave my lips, I don’t believe my own words. “Will he? You wanted my truth, then take it and hee

    ZEDKIEL. “Where is she!” I growl murderously at the guards as I storm down the halls. “T-the Luna and King are at the Chamber of Sight, Alpha…” I have just arrived home after feeling something rip through me and a strange sense of power. I knew something had happened to her, to make it worse even Kash isn't picking up. Something has happened and I'm going insane. The serum to block the mind link has faded and since we were out a new dose was not given. The moment I am within range to mind link, I reach out, but still no one is telling me anything. 'KASH!' I thunder through the link ‘Shit Zed, she wanted to go there herself! Give me a chance to explain, she gave us no option and trust me she can take-’ ‘I don’t fucking care! I told you to look after her! If anything happens to her, I swear I will burn the whole fucking world down!’ I growl as I run down the halls. I hate this feeling, what if something happens to her down there. Reaching the entrance to the dark tunnel that

    ZEDKIEL. ‘I am going to punish you Little Mouse for disobeying me.’ I say through the link feeling that connection and I'm satisfied when her eyes widen, a blush coating her cheeks. Oh? So she knows exactly what kind of punishment I have in my mind. ‘Lets bend the knee to our queen.’ I say to Zerachiel keeping my eyes locked with hers. I can feel his pride as he struggles before growling and pulling back. I take her hand as I go down on one knee and lower my head to her. Something I have never ever done, even to my father. “Zed!” She whispers. Placing her hands on my arms. "Please don't…" I stand up slowly, our eyes meeting, before I turn to the others. “The true Queen has been chosen, which means the tournament is off.” “B-but a-a woman is going to be queen?” Franco splutters earning a cold glare from Dad. “If our creator, the goddess herself is a woman, then why can't our ruler be a woman?” I snarl. He shuts up instantly and Dad nods. “And she will have the guidance from Ze

  • His Dark Obsession   7. An Accusation

    EVANGELINE. ‘He’s only angry because we disobeyed him.’ I tell Luna, who chuckles. ‘Yes, and he said he will punish us.’ She purrs. I raise my eyebrows, internally shaking my head. She’s a naughty one. ‘Of course, that’s the only part you remember.’ I reply. I hear Evelyn’s faint scoff and my heart squeezes. She’s Zedkiel’s mate too… yet she has to watch us being intimate… ‘Don’t blame yourself, plus she can’t see everything like I do, like right now she can't hear your thoughts.’ Luna reassures me. ‘I know, but I want her free.’ Luna says. ‘I understand.’ She falls silent as the Alphas and Alpha heirs troop into the room alongside the other members of the court. All of Zedkiel’s brothers are here, Danciana, the Luna Queen is beside Alpha Ambrose, a small frown on her face. Kash is here too… the king’s beta and more. Looking at him now, to my surprise, he reminds me of Kash a little. How interesting… no wonder Kash is a powerful wolf. He must be of beta blood… I’m getting ma

  • His Dark Obsession   8. His Teasing

    EVANGELINE. We have returned to our original quarters, and for a moment I think he’s about to leave when he enters and shuts the door. I turn to him, stepping closer and look up at him. I know my love has a temper. He diffuses as fast as he gets heated up and I’m ok with that. Even if it does scare me at times. I place my hands on his upper arms. “I’m sorry.” I say gently, gazing into those golden-green eyes. Goddess, his eyes are so gorgeous… “It’s fine. Let’s try to be on the same page going forward. If you want to handle matters once you're crowned, you are welcome to, but I am an Alpha, Little Mouse and as much as I respect you, I do not like to be told what to do.” He says. His gaze dips to my lips, making my heart pound and I nod. “I wasn’t trying to tell you what to do, I just… there’s this feeling inside, a bit like how I felt before I forfeited the match against Vienna.” I whisper, turning away from him. The unease is still there in the pit of my stomach. “Then… maybe y

  • His Dark Obsession   9. Poison

    ZEDKIEL. I don’t know what he’s hidden from me and a part of me doesn’t want to believe that there even is anything. He should have told me everything when he returned, to know he has been keeping something from me… someone who I thought has no secrets from me. I trust Kash with my life and more, from him and his half-brothers who are all of beta blood, if I were to take the throne Kash would have always been my choice for beta… I trusted him and I hope I still can. He’s standing there, a deep frown on his face. “What are you not telling me?” I ask. My voice is deadly calm, my eyes burning red as I watch him carefully, my aura surging around me as it takes everything not to simply lash out and attack him. “I… It’s not what you’re thinking and to be honest you can’t trust them, Zed.” He answers me quietly. “I’m not asking you to give me your advice. I’m telling you to fill me in on what you have kept from me. My patience is depleting fast, Kash. Answer me now!” I snarl venomously.

  • His Dark Obsession   10. A Punishment

    EVANGELINE. I obey, unzipping my dress and letting it slowly slip off my body. There is plenty that we need to discuss, but even I can see the troubles to come… life is fleeting and deep down I feel as if these moments will soon be precious memories that I will only be able to relive and cherish within my mind… I will sacrifice myself… am I being selfish? Perhaps… but it’s my duty. Will Zedkiel go to see the vampires? Perhaps… I shall talk to him. I need to… but will he listen? I pray he does… ‘Yes… we will talk to him. Now let’s have some fun time.’ Luna purrs. I sure have a rather horny wolf. I giggle internally but she doesn’t counter, her excitement clear. She wants Zed and I too turn my attention back to him. My heart aches as I stare at the man that I have come to love. A man that means the world to me, a man who is everything to me. My saviour, my home… He’s looking at me now with so many emotions in those eyes that it makes my heart pound. The hunger and love are on

  • His Dark Obsession   11. Moving Forward

    ZEDKIEL. I stare down at her, those words ringing in my head. I don’t believe it, there is no way I would turn on my own kind. “I understand your concerns, but you know that I wouldn’t throw away everything I have tried to stand for, for power.” I murmur, brushing her hair back, and gaze into those eyes that seem to be holding so many emotions. I need her to believe that, if not anyone else. “I know… I don’t want to believe it either, but we are cursed Zed… You, Zerachiel, Evelyn and I… it’s a cycle that we are always forced into. Not one curse, but two. The Eternal God has, after all, doomed us for eternity too.” She whispers, and I can see the concern in her eyes. “Still, there’s no way I would lead a bloodbath.” I reply firmly, my eyes flashing. “We can’t be so sure, maybe something will happen… It says being betrayed by your loved ones will lead to it… Maybe someone who you trust greatly. I don’t know.” She whispers. There is only one person’s betrayal that can throw me over

  • 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,

    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
