Thank you for reading !
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
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
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
EVANGELINE. He turned away from me and strode to the door. "Put some clothes on, your body is for my eyes only." He snarled, making me jump. His? The thought alone terrified me. I felt naked under his burning gaze. "I-I don’t have any c-clothes…" "Take something from the wardrobe." He growled before storming out of the bathroom. "Yes, Alpha Prince," I replied, placing the cloth down and washing my hands quickly before I rushed from the room. He was already at the wardrobe and threw a shirt and sweatpants at me. "Thank you…" "Change." He commanded, crossing his arms. Was he planning to watch me? it seemed like it… luckily it wasn’t hard to get dressed like this. I quickly pulled the shirt over my head, flinching as pain rushed through my arm and back. I took a steady breath and put on the sweatpants, they were big, but I happily pulled them up to my waist and rolled them up. Only then did I remove my towel and place it to the side. His frown deepened and I tried not to show my fe
EVANGELINE. A squeak left my mouth, and I wondered if perhaps I was a mouse shifter. The prince turned, and I clamped my eyes shut, not wanting to see anything else that might be unforgettable. I shivered when I heard him approach and cracked open one eye, turning my head away as I hurried to the table in his room, and placed the tray down. Run Evangeline! Why was he naked anyway?! "Yo-your b-breakfast – eek!" I squeaked when his hand wrapped around my upper arm and yanked me away from the table. I winced at the pain that shot through me, I wasn’t completely better yet. I clamped my eyes shut, staying rigid as he held me, very aware of the heat from his body. "You’re a strange one." He muttered so quietly that I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly. "Open your eyes." He growled, the command in his voice forcing me to oblige. The fear returned along with that powerful aura, memories of my nightmares returning with vengeance, and I found myself unable to move as I stared into those e
EVANGELINE. We both turned, startled to see the prince standing there, luckily he was fully dressed, but somehow I was extra aware of his chiselled body and the way he filled his shirt out… knowing exactly what he was packing under it. Oh my god, not that kind of packing! I meant his muscles, arm muscles! "Alpha Prince Zedkiel." Dolores bowed her head graciously, but I could smell the fear coming from her. Like everyone back at the ball, she feared him… I shouldn’t get too distracted either… He was a beast, a monster who would kill instantaneously. "Give her the very best, I don’t want to see her in anything less than appealing." He said coldly, his eyes on my bare legs. I pressed my thighs together, tugging at the hem of my shirt, hoping it covered enough. "The very best." Dolores’s attention turned to me before she looked back at the prince. "Of course my prince… Your insignia then, in what item would you prefer she wear it, a broach, a necklace or perhaps a-" "I’ll deal with
ZEDKIEL. I saw red. The urge to rip the girl who had attacked what belonged to me bled through me, and I attacked. Another vicious snarl ripped through the halls as I grabbed her violently and threw her across the hall. She hit the far wall with a satisfying crunch. She cried out as Odette screamed, but I didn’t care. They deserved more, I looked at my little Omega, who was hugging herself, trying to shield her exposed breasts, which I wouldn’t mind admiring all night and day. Her clothes were torn ruthlessly, and it only made my blood boil further. I yanked my shirt off, throwing it at her before I turned to the slumped figure against the far wall. Only I should be the one to see her body. "P-please Zedkiel." Odette whimpered, foolishly daring to step in my way. She stunk of fear like always. Did she really think just because she was mated to my brother that I’d not hurt her? How stupid. My eyes flashed as I grabbed her by the neck. "She insulted what was mine, which means she
ZEDKIEL Hours had passed and night had fallen, only then did I feel in control enough to return to the palace. Killing Odette wasn’t smart… I should have killed the bitch instead… My relationship with Alcazer was already strained, and this would have just made it far worse. I returned to my room to see her curled up in the corner, her arms wrapped around herself, her face held dried tear stains and she was fast asleep. Like the rest, she feared me too… Perhaps I should just kill her too… Why was I even keeping her? She wasn’t even ideal to warm my bed… incompetent and useless. Turning away, I grabbed some clothes and went to shower, knowing my father wanted me at the family meeting he had called. It was funny how he was far too afraid to do anything to me. Fool. I showered and dressed quickly before taking a final glance at the woman on the floor. Pathetic. I left my room and headed to my father’s office. The few people I passed in the halls paled at the sight of me, it was obv
