His Dark Obsession

The Third Prince

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 Inight question if it was perhaps the rare fated mate bond, which is almost non-existent in today’s day and age, but it was also something I don’t think I’d ever have.

Only a mere handful found their mates, and above that… If somehow, I did have a mate, why would it be a lowly omega?

I pulled the sheets down slightly, admiring her breasts. Why did she entice me more than the women I had?

Perhaps this hunger for her was because of who she was. What better way to torment someone than to take the woman that the bastard Sinclair wanted for himself. I could tell she was currently untouched since omegas would carry the scent of the man they were claimed by, and she was still pure…

I’ll change that, I will soon make her mine and watch the bastard burn with jealousy. If he wanted, I’d allow him to watch the show.

I sneered coldly, twisting a strand of her black locks around my finger and tugging on it.

A flare of anger rushed through me as I turned my gaze upon the healer, who cowered before

I frowned, my cold eyes boring into him. “Time? It was a crash, why isn’t she healing faster?” He lowered his head, joining his hands in front of him. “She needs a lot of rest; she doesn’t seem to have her wolf, or she’d be healing already, my prince.” My eyes blazed, and a vicious snarl left my lips as I grabbed the fool by the scruff of his neck.” She is eighteen, her owners made that clear.” I hissed. “Y-yes m-my prince! However, it seems she just hasn’t shifted! Or has no w-wolf! Forgive me, my prince, I have done my best!” I heard the slight change in her heartbeat and dropped him. “Get out!” I snarled.

He flinched, clambering to his feet, the smell of fear coating the air as he all but ran to the door.

My eyes snapped to the woman on the bed. Despite the change in her heartbeat, she didn’t move.

When the door to my quarters shut after him, I looked down at the woman closely, as she pretended to sleep. Tilting my head, I placed my knee on the bed; still, she didn’t move, but the moment I took hold of her jaw, her eyes flew open.

I’m a monster, remember that, and just like all those rumours, I’m sure you have heard… I won’t hesitate to end your pathetic life.” I hissed, she whimpered, nodding slowly, and I shoved her head to the side, letting go of her.” Your owners didn’t want you, you’re simply collateral, and if you dare defy me, I will not only kill you but the entire Welhaven family.” Her eyes widened

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.
