Two today ♥️
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
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
ZEDKIEL. “Evelyn…” She’s getting closer and I stare into her eyes, hoping somehow Evangeline can see me. Fight it Little Mouse… “The matches will start soon. I need to prepare.” I remove her arms from around me, only to feel her anger flare up. “There’s nothing to prepare. Do I disgust you?” “I’m not doing this right now.” I say firmly. “Then when! When she regains control! I know you want me gone!” She hisses and I feel the darkness wrap around her. I turn sharply, my eyes flashing as I feel Zerachiel’s own rage rising. “Do not test me, Evelyn.” I snarl. “You are meant for me too! We were both mated to Zerachiel – to you! Yet each time he chooses her and you… you just want me dead!” Guess that façade is over. I look at her coldly. “You killed the Oracle, correct? You killed the village and Evangeline’s family, correct?” I snarl, grabbing her by her neck. She glares at me with anger and rage. “I did what I needed to!” She hisses. “Evangeline is weak. I can be the queen you
EVANGELINE. Celia! That isn’t who I was expecting to face off against. I don’t know why, but I didn’t think we would actually meet in this challenge. The weather is cold, with winter approaching the evenings usually are. Ice clings to the ground, sparkling under the bright lights that cover the grounds. I look at her as she tosses her hair and shows off a little, blowing a few kisses to the crowds. I know I won’t make it to the final round of the fights, but if I could somehow make it to the next round… It would help Zedkiel’s excellent score. I want to contribute to his success too. I don’t want to simply be a burden or be someone to ruin his score. I want to be deserving of him, unlike the rest of the competitors - he had me, someone who is useless in comparison to the well-seasoned fighters the rest of them are. I can see it too. There’s me with my extra meat and them with their abs and muscles…. Seeing her standing there in that hot pink sports bra with matching shorts, I rea
EVANGELINE. I’m disappointing him… ‘Yes, you are disappointing him. Let me take over. I’ll rip that bitch to shreds. If you weren’t so useless, she wouldn’t have gotten so free!’ Evelyn hisses. My eyes prickle with tears, but I refuse to let them fall. Celia chuckles. “Awe, are you going to cry? Evangeline the crybaby.” She sneers. “Can’t take a few punches.” I’m not crying because of that, I’m not a crybaby! I’m failing him. I am useless. I can’t think like that. I have to do better! “Now, to put you down like Alpha Aeron should have the night they found you!” Celia sneers. “Useless Omega, and now I’ll show you your place… Beneath me!” Her voice grows louder, and I turn my head to see her blurry figure stalking toward me. I grab her foot, and her eyes widen. Yanking it hard as I roll over, I bring her toppling down; she lets out a surprised shriek, but I’ve had enough. Getting to my feet, Celia does at the same time; she swings at me, but I block it. She’s getting angrier, a
ZEDKIEL. ‘I love you.’ The words echo in my mind as she flings her arms around my neck, and I capture her lips in a kiss. The crowd's cheering blurs away and all I see, feel, and smell is her. She’s everything… There’s something unexplainable about having someone fucking love you for you. Her words replay in my mind a thousand damn times. She loves a monster who isn’t worth loving, can this even be real? Does she want to stay by my side, the way I want her to stay? I wasn’t meant to be Luna… I was meant to be Queen… her words come back to me Will she stay? Imagining a future with her… to wake up every day to her, to fall asleep every night to her… I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to tell her that I feel the same, so all I do is kiss her like it’s the first and last fucking time. Pleasure rushes through me and as much as I know we have things to deal with, there’s nothing more I want to do to her than fuck her senseless. I keep kissing her as I carry her away. The momen
EVANGELINE. Zedkiel reaches up and switches the shower off before grabbing a towel and lightly towelling my hair. I look up at him, watching his emotionless face. His face is as sharp and cold as always, and his eyes are hard but… there’s so much more to him than he gives away… I don’t miss the way he rubs my hair tenderly, his fingers brushing the stray strands back before he slowly towels my body dry. He pats the towel lightly over my injuries that are almost gone, somehow, I’m healing fast. He brushes his fingers over them, his eyes flashing red before he moves away. I observe him, and although he hasn’t said anything since I confessed, he doesn’t need to… That kiss he gave me, said far more than words ever could. The way he took care of me… Everything he has done for me, openly, vocally, and silently. They all mean so much more. I step closer, my gaze dipping to the soaking pants that now cling to him and emphasise a certain part of him that makes my stomach flutter. “Are you
EVANGELINE. Isabella… “Hi nice to meet you, Isa, I’m Evangeline.” I reply politely, taking her hand. She gives it a firm shake before turning to Zedkiel and Kash, who are quietly exchanging words. “… too long. Make sure we’re covered.” Zed’s saying as he pulls off his shirt and takes another that Kash gives him. I can’t help but notice Isa watching him. Zed pulls the shirt on and sprays something over himself and within seconds his scent begins to fade away. Kash nods passing him a moderate-sized backpack just as Isa puts some music on. “Here’s the phone.” Kash says quietly. I watch them hoping we aren’t caught, because if we are and with a phone… we can get into big trouble and get eliminated from the tournament. “Is that wise?” I ask, glancing between them. “No one is going to say a word. It’ll be fine.” Kash says. He looks a little pale and I feel uneasy. I know Zedkiel trusts him, but does he also trust this Isabella? She’s looking at Zedkiel now, her head tilted and I try
