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 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
