His Dark Obsession 59. A Message
ZEDKIEL. “Did you find anything at all?” Chasyn asks me as I remove the nails and lift the Oracle’s body to the ground, looking around I yank the charred tablecloth off and cover her body. “Not yet.” I say, staring down at the Oracle’s body, I sniff the air, letting the smell of blood fill my nose. There are two different smells mixed in… I lean down, sniffing the blood. It’s not Evangeline’s blood. Relief floods me, and I stand up. I don’t know why she thinks she killed her, but I plan to find out who it really belongs to, but this blood is not Evangeline’s. I’ve tasted hers, smelt hers… this one is nowhere near hers. “Don’t touch anything in here.” I hear Chasyn command some of the men. I slowly walk through the room, trying to visualise what may have happened. The runes and the burns are the Oracle’s doing, her magic draws from herself and that around her. I know that much. I frown as I crouch down looking at the marks on the floor. There are no claw marks, no torn clothes… T

ZEDKIEL. “I want to know exactly what happened that night.” I say quietly. He takes a silent breath, obviously remembering that night and, by the looks of it, it wasn’t a pleasant experience. “It has been ten years since that night, but it’s still as fresh in my mind as if it had just happened yesterday. The town was roughly an hour's drive or run from Dark Falls. It was in an even more isolated place than Dark Falls. Hidden on the other side of the forest and these mountains. Sinclair and I were on a hunting trip, and we had found a target and given chase. It was snowing heavily, and this was something we did every winter. I made sure each year I made the hunt a little harder for him, and that year we were going to go through the rocky terrain and up through the mountains.” He begins. I can tell he doesn’t like speaking of it, but he still continues and begins pacing the room. I cross my arms and lean against the wall. “I smelt blood and something burning, yet there was no sign
His Dark Obsession 61. Taking Steps
EVANGELINE. I feel the heat of the morning sun warm my skin, and I open my eyes slowly. I’m enclosed in Zedkiel’s arms, and I feel so warm and protected. Despite everything that has happened, I know I’m safe here. Taking a moment to admire him as he sleeps, I observe him. His face is calm and stress-free. Well, almost, he still has that slight frown on his forehead. His plump lips are perfect, and I want to reach up and kiss them, but his grip on me is too tight for me to shuffle at all. So, I stay still, simply admiring him. We’re mates… I slowly place my hand on his bare waist, feeling him stir slightly, but I close my eyes, relishing in the sparks that ripple through me, spreading from my fingertips before washing through me. My breath hitches as I let those sparks consume me. It feels magical, it’s like a stream of gold liquid lighting up my dark insides. Warming every corner of my body from my fingertips right down to my toes. I can’t really explain it… but it’s beautiful. H
His Dark Obsession 62. A Revelation
ZEDKIEL. I can’t stop watching her. She’s gorgeous, beautiful, and today was fucking perfect... She wanted me as much as I fucking wanted her, and she actually handled me pretty well. I like when she smells of me so strongly… I want the entire world to know that she belongs to me. She’s sitting there now, holding an air around her that no one can match. Her beauty makes everything else look washed out. She’s watching me as Kash questions her. “Why are you worried?” Her eyes are locked with mine, and as I hold her gaze, those tawny colours orbs of hers flicker, it’s so slight and something seems to shift in her but there’s something there. Is it the same as what I saw in the water? It’s too fast for me to compare, but I don’t think anyone else noticed. Kash definitely didn’t. “I’m worried for Sinclair, of course.” Her voice is as soft as always, but there’s a spark to it, one I recognise… Her eyes widen in horror, and she frowns. “With an opponent like Zedkiel, he stands no chanc
His Dark Obsession 63. Concerns
EVANGELINE. This is wrong. He shouldn’t have to have such a public trial when there is plenty of questionable behaviour from others. I mean, Sinclair, for example. However, I can’t say anything because Zedkiel asked for it to happen. She’s there clawing at the back of my mind, and I’m not going to let her get the better of me. It’s almost as if she takes advantage of me whenever I’m distracted… I sigh heavily, glancing over at Sinclair, who didn’t make it to the exit, being in far too much pain and was now being treated by the healer who he had pushed away. Zedkiel had done some serious damage, but he had refrained from showing his true power… I knew that. Zedkiel isn’t a people person, nor does he like to be around people… but his adamance with becoming king is clear and I know it isn’t for the pomp and glory. He is a man willing to put the work in to protect the kingdom. Alpha Ambrose is conversing via the mind link with the members of the high court but without Zedkiel having t
His Dark Obsession 64. Origins
ZEDKIEL. I frown, watching Dad sharply. What scriptures? What the hell is this? The whispers that run through the crowd are growing. The confusion and unrest, irritating me. ‘Will you still not talk to me?’ I ask my Lycan. I don’t think I’ve tried as hard before, as I have for the last few days to talk to him, but he hasn’t spoken since agreeing for me to fuck Evangeline. I need him to realise that we are fucking one. I need him to back me up. Silence. ‘If this all points to me becoming king, then don’t you have any input? Should I aim for the throne? Since you don’t even have faith in me as it is? What do you want me to do?’ Nothing. ‘I need you, please… I have never begged anyone in my life, and I am now. I’m setting my pride aside and asking you for something. Give me anything.' I close my eyes, feeling defeated. ‘No. It’s your duty as king that will ruin us… What I care for is our mate. Only her, and if I have to, I will destroy you. I don’t care about anything else.' That
His Dark Obsession 65. Raziel
ZEDKIEL. Drystan snickers, and Dad frowns at him before giving Evangeline a nod to continue. I give her hand a squeeze, and she smiles at me before taking a deep breath and carrying on. “And so, she turned Raziel into the very first werewolf. However, she had promised that her creation would live on earth, and by the command of the Supreme Eternal God, she was forced to cast Raziel down to earth. A move that shook Selene, and only then did she realise that her love for Raziel had become more… But, when she made the divine decision to create werewolves, she hadn’t realised that everything comes at a cost… She went to the Supreme God asking for Raziel to join her in the heavens, but she was denied her request.” Evangeline frowns as she continues. “Instead, he gave her permission to create one more being. He granted her the source of life to create a female, to continue the race that she had created by mating her to Raziel… But she could not do it, when she herself loved him and so dis
His Dark Obsession 66. A Stance
ZEDKIEL. I look down at her, but I don’t react. As much as I want to know what she’s done with Evangeline, I refuse to entertain her. Reacting as I normally would, will only harm Evangeline. “You like me better, don’t you?” She whispers, running her hand up my arm. “Don’t get ahead of yourself.” I say calmly as she squeezes my biceps. It was taking a lot for me to not lose my cool and demand for her to bring Evangeline back because I know she won’t and it will only make matters worse, and the last thing I need is for her to react in front of everyone. “So… you are saying that Prince Zedkiel is the rightful King simply because he’s a hybrid? Forgive me, your majesty, but you could have simply bedded a vampire woman for this child. It’s not enough.” Darvin sneers. He’s a fucking asshole of an Alpha. Each word that leaves his mouth is angering me more and more. I clench my jaw, and I realise that there is not enough proof to make them believe that anything Dad said refers to me… Ho
