His Dark Obsession 41. A Blind Oath
EVANGELINE. The door closes behind us and we are left in one of the grand sitting rooms of the palace. A waterfall fountain is against one wall, splitting open as it parts down the centre, curving along the archway that leads off from the room. I hope I have made the right choice in asking to see him. After all, I have prepared these questions for long enough! “What will it be, let's cut to the chase.” He says coldly. I step forward, knowing that he clearly isn’t one for games. “On behalf of Selene, I ask for your forgiveness. Please end her punishment. We need-” His eyes darken as his rage becomes apparent, his blistering anger clear in his eyes. “Impossible.” He hisses. “You speak of what is best for everyone, yet you refuse to look past your anger… Selene disobeyed you, yet despite all these years, you can not forgive her?” I ask. He remains silent despite his festering anger. His face is passive, and his eyes remind me of bottomless galaxies. So deep there seems to be no
His Dark Obsession 42. A Turning
ZIAHRA. It’s been two hours since I snapped his neck, but he is still unmoving. His heart hasn’t beat, and he is simply lying there lifeless. What did I do? Fuck, I killed him! My heart is thundering as I cradle his head in my lap. We’re still in his motel room, a place that can be broken into without a hitch. But there’s no way I can move him anywhere safer or more secure. The Dark Crow may still be around and if they are… God, I don’t want to think of it. He has got to be strong enough to fight this! Come on Kash! Through my panicked state, I had somehow managed to tell Blade I wasn’t going to be on lookout with him as I had things to do, but I just hope he bought it. He has asked twice when I’ll be coming but I am unable to reply. He knew I was with Kash… but I can’t deny that either. I know I need to go out there, but I can’t, not until I know Kash will be ok. He has to be… I touch my mark, tracing my finger over the mark he has left on me. I can feel it becoming one
His Dark Obsession 43. An Intense Awakening
ZIAHRA. I killed him! My heartbeat rings in my ears, my entire body freezing up as I realise what I have just done. Blade’s body drops to the ground, and I jump back. A shaky gasp leaves me as I stare at the dead body of one of my closest comrades. Memories of the past ring through my head, and I grip my head as I stare at the blood that now spreads across the laminate flooring. ‘I’ll always have your back Zia… Yeah? I’ll always have yours too… if anyone tries to turn on you, I’ll have your back… Oh sure, I’ll try to never turn my back on anyone…’ I killed him… I fall to my knees beside the two bodies, feeling as if everything is going wrong. What have I done? Fuck! I close my eyes, taking a few steadying breaths. “You've got this Ziahra.” I tell myself. Breathe in… breathe out… I've got this… A sharp gasp and the sudden thumping of a heart makes my head snap up. My heart leaps when I see Kash’s eyes fly open, blazing red as he jolts upright. His fangs are out as he scan
His Dark Obsession 44. Tears of Doom
KASH. I’m behind her within a split second and we both leave the motel. I make sure to shut the door behind us as I rush after her. We don’t need someone seeing that body or blood right now, that will only add to everything that is already going on. Her heart is pounding violently as I try to ask her what happened. “What happened?!” I ask again. “Gray! He tried to connect with me!” Something’s happened… She keeps running. We’re on the road now and I have no fucking clue as to where she’s going. But it’s clear she knows. “He! One of the princes!” She isn’t making sense but before I can ask her, she suddenly stops, as she stares at the ground. I look down, the smell of blood reaching my nose, and then I see it. The trails of blood cover the stone ground. What the fuck…. I try to mind link Zerachiel, but I’m met with a block. The same goes for Ragnar and Jeremiah which leaves me one option. Adonis. Taking a deep breath, I mind link Adonis. ‘Check on Zerachiel and Evelyn rig
His Dark Obsession 45. Selene’s Warning
EVANGELINE. Nothingness wraps around me like a cloak. There’s no feeling of anything here. It’s not cold, warm, or windy. Everything is just… still. There’s no light, and even with our vision, I cannot see anything. This place is indeed empty. I tighten my hold on Zedkiel’s hand as we walk through the emptiness, side by side. The only sound that I can hear is the Eternal God’s footsteps ahead of us and our heartbeats. My aura is radiating off me, but it is just swallowed up by this place. Almost as if we could scream, but it would not travel. “Kind of extreme, to put her in a place like this for simply falling in love.” Zedkiel remarks. “She broke a divine law.” His cold reply comes. Zedkiel is about to reply, but I give his hand a gentle squeeze, and he frowns. ‘He’s arrogant, and he grates on my nerves.’ ‘He is a God. Perhaps the power has gone to his head.’ I tease lightly. Zedkiel smirks but says nothing for a few seconds before he kisses me. ‘Well, if you let that god s
His Dark Obsession 46. Our Return
ZEDKIEL. It’s like I’ve just been catapulted through the air and then hit the ground hard. The breath is knocked from me and for a moment, I feel boxed in. I stagger and I feel Zerachiel’s confusion as he’s thrown to the back of my mind, as I regain control of my body. ‘You’re back.’ He says, sounding far more shocked than I would have expected. ‘Yeah, what did you think? That we’ll be stuck there forever?’ I reply, looking around, we are in a forest, one I’m not sure exactly where it is… ‘Where the hell are we?’ I ask him, as I look down, my clothes are dirty and he’s clearly not showered. Seriously, does he not know personal hygiene? ‘In the forest not far from the crypts… actually… I was trying to think of a plan.’ I frown. Why the hell is he alone? ‘What plan and where are the rest?’ He sighs and I can feel his conflict. ‘Ragnar betrayed us, and Ziahra, well, to control the damage done… She told us to leave and that she’ll make up a story for Vadam. However, I know she’l
His Dark Obsession 47. An Entrance
ZEDKIEL. We had travelled fast, and we had arrived at the borders of the location that Ziahra had told us about before we left for the other realm. The location where Vadam Exodus is at. We had the small phone that Adonis had passed on, although it had no credit to make any call. I was hoping Kash would call soon once Adonis passed the message on. It was two nights later and the night we were breaking in… We are a good distance from the dark, cold mansion that is surrounded by spiked gates, and despite the silence, I know there are vampires moving around. I can see them at times, dressed all in black as they scan the surroundings, each one armed. I had managed to steal three slim swords earlier, giving one to Evangeline, although she wasn’t much of a fighter and keeping the other two for myself. “I need Kash to call…” I mutter, looking up at the moon, which was half-hidden by the clouds. The skies were dark and cloudy and only at certain moments could you see the moon peeking
His Dark Obsession 48. A Break in
EVANGELINE. I watch as Zed enters with a bang, introducing himself. It’s not the time to have such thoughts, but there was something incredibly sexy about that… My heart is pounding as several vampires surround him. I’m ready to assist if need be and I know he is powerful enough too, but still, I’m on edge. The vampires stare at him, clearly taking it with mixed reactions. There are those who are shocked, others hostile and some who are hesitant. “To Vadam Exodus, now.” Zed snarls, his power radiates off him and I glance towards the mansion entrance. The vampires seem to converse with one another before they motion to the door and Zedkiel walks confidently to the entrance. I don’t like being apart from him but there’s not much I can actually do but wait for his signal that Vadam is with him before I move. ‘How long will you wait?’ Evelyn asks after a while. ‘For his signal.’ I reply, trying not to let my worry show. She’s been silent since I’ve returned to my body. Neither of
