His Dark Obsession 49. Freeing a Queen
ZEDKIEL. The man before me is nothing like how I pictured. He has brown hair with a few stray grey strands. He has bright blue hooded eyes, and he’s wearing a suit. There’s no emotion from him. I can’t tell if he’s angry or not. I’m not sure if my appearance has shaken him or not. It’s almost as if he’s bored or tired and doesn’t want to have to deal with me. He’s not even surprised or pretending not to be, anyway. “You wanted me, right? I’m here.” I state coldly, my eyes burning red. His gaze dips to the swords in my hands, but he says nothing. “Yes, but I did think you were already dead… that is what Ziahra declared. Lies are punishable by death.” He sneers. “Oh yeah? Well, you don’t seem surprised to see me… you knew I wasn’t dead, as for who will be punished. I’ll be the one deciding that.” I remark coldly. I keep my eyes on him, but I’m aware of how many vampires are surrounding me. He may not give a signal openly to them as he has the link to them, and that’s even more re
His Dark Obsession 50. Taking What's His
EVANGELINE. “Ziahra… Who is this beauty?” Zeina asks as she looks me over. “Your daughter-in-law,” Ziahra says with a smirk. Zeina looks surprised as she turns to Ziahra, her eyes widening in shock. Ziahra’s smile vanishes, realisation hitting her as my own eyes widen. “No! Not me, I mean she’s not mine! Zedkiel’s, she’s Zedkiel’s wife and mate.” Ziahra explains as I blush at Zeina’s assumption. Zeina’s face becomes serious as she turns and looks at me. Her heart is racing as her eyes run over me, before she turns back to Ziahra. “Zedkiel… How do you even know about him?” She asks her hoarsely. Ziahra takes her skeletal hands in her own. “I volunteered to find him for Exodus. He wants him dead.” Zeina looks around. We can hear the faint sound of shouting and bangs. “Where is he now?” She asks sharply. “Facing Vadam Exodus, but don’t worry, Zedkiel is strong and will be able to handle him.” I say. “Then let’s hurry.” Zeina says, as she takes the lead down the hallway. “A stak
His Dark Obsession 51. From Her Past
ZEDKIEL. A few hours have passed, and we are in a side drawing room. It’s dimly lit but no one really cares, we have been served blood and there was some food just for Evangeline. The blood itself is tasty, and it gives me the strength I really needed after that battle with Vadam. Zeina has wanted to talk to me, and so far her questions have felt extremely mediocre, as if she’s slowly trying to assess how much I would be ok with. Asking how Evangeline and I met, what Evangeline wore at our wedding and other simple questions. We had told her how Evangeline was the werewolf queen; their rightful ruler and she had been rather impressed. Every time I tried to direct the conversation to more serious conversations, she would simply say we deserved at least a few hours of calmness after the defeat of Vadam. Ziahra had been here with us, however, a short while ago she had been called out regarding something in the surrounding woods. But she still hadn’t returned after saying she’ll be b
His Dark Obsession 52. A Painful Decision
ZEDKIEL. Both Evangeline and I look at her sharply. “That’s not true. Whoever told you that crap lied. It’s the vampires who have been on our doorstep. Threatening our kind, that if they did not hand me over, they would wage war.” I snarl, my eyes flashing. Evangeline is by my side in an instant, her heart racing a little faster as she places a hand on my chest, sending intense sparks through me. They calm me, despite Zerachiel’s rising anger. ‘Zedkiel, calm down… she…’ “Is lying,” I growl. Zeina raises an eyebrow. “You are blinded, but that will soon change.” She says quietly. “It’s the werewolves who send assassins to check us off, handful by handful… like cowards. It is the werewolves who have been murdering even the innocent children.” Zeina’s eyes glimmer red, her heart thumping faster. I frown, about to say something, when Evangeline shakes her head slightly and speaks. “I can sense that you aren’t lying, but you might just be believing something that isn’t true. There’s
His Dark Obsession 53. The Time to Act
EVANGELINE. “And so, it has begun.” Evelyn’s voice which is filled with dread echoes in my mind. “Zedkiel, please listen to me.” I say calmly as I step forward and take hold of his arm. My eyes blaze as I look up at him, feeling his restlessness and anger through the bond. “I need you to listen to me.” I’m silently pleading with him, trying to calm him with my touch. Please, my love… He frowns, “I’m doing this my way. Innocent people are being poisoned! Mask up.” He snarls at the vampires. I frown, sniffing the air. The stench of whatever is mixed in the fumes is strong and smoky… “We need to find out how anyone got so close to do this, Zed, let's act calmly.” I say, trying to place the scent. ‘Is that… Elderwood?’ I ask Evelyn and Luna if she listens. Evelyn comes forward, and I take a deep sniff, letting her smell it too. Elderwood affects Lycans negatively, making them edgy. Something not ideal before a battle and the fact it’s mixed in with poisons for vampires… ‘I think
His Dark Obsession 54. And So It Begins
EVANGELINE. One day… Yes, one day we will be together without worry or concern, simply enjoying life… I pull away reluctantly. “Don’t go. It’s not safe out there.” He says quietly. There’s hurt and regret in his eyes. Despite his words, he isn’t trying to stop me from leaving. He knows I need to do this. “This time, good will succeed even if it means I have to make that sacrifice… I’m sorry, but evil will not win.” I promise, our eyes meet and his flash red for a moment. A shiver runs down my spine, but I raise my head defiantly and look him square in the eye. I am a goddess, and it is my duty to protect my people. ‘You aren’t really alone.’ Evelyn says. ‘I’m right here, and even Zedkiel will thank us when this is all over.’ ‘I hope so… Thank you, Evelyn… I truly am grateful for your support, despite everything.’ ‘No problem…’ She wants to say more, but she doesn’t as I turn and walk towards the doors. The vampires tense, as if hesitating if I should be allowed out to simply
His Dark Obsession 55. Monsters in the Woods
EVANGELINE. My gaze snaps back to the tattoo on his torso, realising it’s not just any snake but the symbolic sea serpent of Hades… The symbol of the Night Shade Pack, how did I not realise! I look up at him, grasping onto the fact that I had gone straight from the wolf’s den into the monster’s lair… “I am not asking you to bow down to me Alpha Godric Astorath, as future Queen of the Werewolf Kingdom, you will be wise not to upset me.” I say calmly, but I let my aura radiate off me. Those around can sense it and I know he can too. “Our packs hold a treaty of peace and Queen Luna Danciana Vilkas is from your pack. Let’s not mar our deal.” My words don’t seem to mean anything to him, as he simply cocks a brow as if he is bored. “And do you think a mere piece of paper will stop me from cutting you up, offering you to Hades as a fucking tribute and then feeding your remains to my dogs?” He sneers, forcing my chin up with the blade. I cock a brow, pushing the blade away as I let my au
His Dark Obsession 56. A Deal Bound
EVANGELINE. ‘That snake!’ Evelyn growls. “What are you doing here?” I ask him. ‘He is not your friend.’ Godric says in my mind, his voice as harsh and cold as before and he remains emotionless as he stands there. He was expecting him… he isn’t surprised at all to see him. I’m ready for anything and I know Godric is on no one’s side right now, but he isn’t throwing me to Jeremiah until he sees how things play out… Frowning slightly, I turn to Jeremiah and smile innocently. “Hello Jeremiah, tell me, who are the traitors? And who is currently leading our people? Did Adonis get back? I heard Ragnar betrayed us.” I say. Or you made it appear like that. His eyes meet mine, he’s as calm as ever, his eyes now as soft as they always have been. “Then you'll be disappointed to learn that the Donovans and Lanes both betrayed you. Adonis never returned, and Kash… I won’t even go there, he obv-” “Kash? That’s hard to believe.” I say, trying to calm my anger. I can feel it, sense the darkn

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
