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 57. Taking the Lead
ZEDKIEL. She left. Without even a glance back… because of what? I wanted to keep her safe, that was all. Things had blurred out for a few moments, and I’m left feeling empty. I had focused on the plan at hand. I know the way werewolves work, obviously, it’s been a part of me. Right now, they are just outside the forest that keeps us apart. I know their battle formations… heck; I helped them plan most of them. If they had any brains, they would toss it aside and come up with something new. Why are we even fighting? I frown, massaging my temples. Everything is murky, and sometimes I find myself questioning why I am doing this? ‘Don’t confuse yourself, you are doing nothing wrong.’ Zerachiel growls. Is Evangeline right? She is level-headed… ‘No, she isn’t! The werewolves- our own people are trying to kill us! You being a hybrid, has always been an issue!’ Calm down… I take a deep breath. ‘I get that… she shouldn’t have left.’ I reply quietly. ‘You’re right. She left when she
His Dark Obsession 58. Through Her Eyes
EVANGELINE. ‘Is it safe to leave him here?’ Evelyn asks suspiciously. ‘We don’t have a choice.’ I reply, glancing at Godric. We had returned to the army that had accompanied Jeremiah and it had only taken a single command to bend them to my will. That power alone shakes me, and I know deep down it is not something I should be using on Earth. I don’t need to be told. I can feel the pull on the balance of life. My powers are not made for this world. “I will be back soon. Fall back until I return, remain hidden.” I command, creating a shield to hide them. “Got it. I wouldn’t take long if I were you. The lust for blood and death is ever growing.” Godric says, and I shudder internally. ‘What a gem.’ Evelyn says sarcastically. There were countless werewolves from all the allied packs united. Godric had his own men at the ready, but I hoped we could avoid bloodshed. ‘We won’t be able to.’ Luna says softly, as if already seeing what is to come. ‘Then we do what’s needed fast.’ I reply
His Dark Obsession 59. Betrayal
RAGNAR. “The Queen was in on this?” Evangeline asks sharply. Her back is to me, and her power is radiating off her in waves. Powerful but oddly soothing and serene and I fucking hate that, but at the same time, I can’t really deny it. She has a pull on my Lycan, and I can feel his restlessness as he wishes to submit to her. That doesn’t make sense… unless Dad has passed away… has she become the next ruler? I don’t want to think about that. Losing dad… Sure, in life people always die, but not this soon… At the same time, this power doesn’t feel like the command of the Alpha of Alphas. “She is… but when I saw her, I felt she was not a willing contributor in this. She did what she did, so Dad wasn’t killed. That’s what she implied when she came to meet me earlier.” I reply. “Yet Maryka turned out to be a traitor and the one behind all of this is none other than the fucking Night Shade Pack.” Her heart thumps as she spins back around, her eyes blazing. “What? The Night Shade Pack?”
His Dark Obsession 60. A Passing
EVANGELINE. Danciana and Maryka slowly rise to their feet. From their pale faces, they were not expecting that. I rein in my aura, glancing around. No one moves. I guess I don’t need to use my powers. They bow down to my simple commands. They can sense who I am, my presence alone enough. “You should be ashamed for having your mate thrown in prison and betraying him.” I say icily to Maryka. “Hold your tongue unless I ask you to speak.” Her eyes flash, her lips quivering with anger, but she is unable to argue with me. “These lands once belonged to the Night Shade Pack. You are making a mistake Evangeline and remember the King lives. You are not in charge.” Danciana says haughtily, but despite her calm exterior, she’s terrified. “I am acting on his behalf.” “Oh, I am, and when the King comes forth, only then will I speak to him, as for acting on his behalf? I don’t see him submitting to another pack!” I growl. She flinches, her eyes darting around the room as I advance upon her. “Y
His Dark Obsession 61. Traitors & Discussions
EVANGELINE. I watch Lucia for a moment, drawing the curtain partially around her to give her some privacy. The doctor had reassured me that the baby was fine. I’m glad… but I’m also confused. She still carries Chasyn’s scent, which means the child is his… but did she not say since Maryka he has not been intimate with her? So, did something end up happening between them? I remember the way she had been behaving the last few times I had seen her. Was it because of her pregnancy? It could have been… it’s clear she’s still in the early months of her pregnancy. I glance at Chasyn, before looking back at her face. Placing a hand on her stomach, I pour a little healing into her, satisfied when the swelling on her face eases up a little. But I’m careful not to use much. I can’t. The moment I feel the slight shift in the atmosphere, I stop. I glance over at Kash, who is watching us. He can’t see her, but he can see me from this angle. ‘You saved her.’ ‘I would have done the same for any
His Dark Obsession 62. Two Armies
EVANGELINE. The sky is cloudy, and the moon is hidden behind them. I’m here at the edge of the forest. I can hear the vampires a mere mile away. Their hunger for vengeance and blood clinging to the very air that surrounds us, reminding me of the way it feels before it’s about to rain. They’re readying to attack us, and at their head is Zedkiel… I can feel his aura spreading far and wide, but the evil that is entwined with it like a poisonous weed, spreading far and fast, is incredibly powerful. How has he kept it hidden for so long is beyond me? He has bided his time, planned carefully, and he knew all along what he is indeed capable of. He has played us all. The very thought makes my blood run cold. The wind howls through the night sky and the stray owl hoots as I brush my hair back. “He’s powerful, but he hasn’t fucking met me.” Godric growls as he approaches. His eyes blazing, they have not returned to normal ever since he found out that his people had gone behind his back an
His Dark Obsession 63. Beneath a Shadowed Moon
EVANGELINE. Kash tenses by my side as Godric watches Zerachiel with keen interest. ‘Remember, no one attacks unless I say so.’ I warn through the link. “We do not need to do this, Zerachiel. Let’s take it aside and talk.” I say clearly, my eyes simmering blue as Luna surfaces, her voice lacing with mine. “We are mates. Let’s do this together.” “The only thing you want to do is kill me.” He scoffs. He knows. “You’re doubting me?” I ask, raising a brow. “Do your people know that they are not following their true King, but his Lycan who has imprisoned him within his own mind?” I make sure my voice rings powerfully through the forest. A few vampires exchange looks, their eyes simmering dangerously. I see their hesitation, but none stop. They are under his command… and they will obey his every order. He’s compelling them to obey. I glance around, trying to find Ziahra… but she isn’t in the front line… Kash had managed to contact her, and she said she’ll be prepared. He was on edge,

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
