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 64. The Time Has Come
EVANGELINE. ‘Evangeline. You must not let him strike your-’ Luna began. ‘Don’t!’ Evelyn sounds panicked. ‘She needs to know!’ Luna shouts. I push Zerachiel away with immense force, backing up a little while trying to drown out Luna's and Evelyn’s voices in my head. I can’t focus if they’re arguing. Zerachiel growls as he raises the dagger, lunging at me once again. “Zedkiel, if you can hear me… fight this!” I shout breathlessly, fending Zerachiel off. He’s strong, and I know what I need to bring myself to do. I spare a quick glance around; wolves and vampires are clashing in all directions. There’s a darkness growing around them, I can sense it, and I can smell the blood, feeling pack links breaking away. Our warriors are dying… unnecessarily. Our people are suffering once again. “Stop Zerachiel! What do you get from this?!” I shout, my eyes blazing. “This is your doing Evangeline, look around! Wolves and vampires are both dying because of your selfishness.” Zerachiel taunt
His Dark Obsession 65. The Treasure of the Moon
EVANGELINE. It’s peaceful… There’s no pain… Is this it? A soft breeze blows gently past me, like a soothing caress of a mother’s touch. I could stay here forever… My mind feels empty, but I feel as if there’s something I should be remembering… something that is important… What is it? The heat of the sun is warming my skin, the soft rustle of the grass beneath me is ever so soothing and I simply want to sleep, but alas, that is not meant to be. “Wake up, child… wake up…” The caress of a hand on my head makes me whimper, unhappy to be disturbed. A musical chuckle makes me crack my eyelids open, peering at my surroundings through my thick lashes, everything is bathed in the golden glow of the warm sun. So peaceful… “Evangeline.” Selene? I turn, before sitting up slowly. I’m wearing the same gown I was before we had returned to Earth and I realise we are somewhere in the other realm. But what happened? Zed! I turn sharply, my heart thundering as everything returns to me in
