His Dark Obsession By Moonlight Muse Chapter 32

32. A Couple of Gifts

EVANGELINE.

Hours have passed, but I can’t get the rule book out of my head…

Consummate the marriage before the tournament? How!

All I can think of is everything that can go wrong if we do that, but without it… it means we can’t even participate…

Urgh!

Just think Evangeline, if you weren’t an omega, you would have to be marked too. But the downside is, once the rest of the couples all mark one another until they go into heat, no one will even know if they are. mated, unlike me… I have a feeling that rule was put there because I am unable to be marked due to being. wolfless.

I shudder at the possibilities of what could go wrong; it isn’t that Zedkiel is that bad… but this life, this rank, it’s all a façade… 1

I sigh heavily, running my fingers along the spines of the leatherbound books that line the shelves in the royal library. I don’t even know what I’m looking for, but I need something to keep my mind off everything..

I had spent two hours with Alistair, and I am exhausted. He gave me all his theories about what our test may be but regardless of what it will end up as; I know I just need to think smartly and with a level head. I’m hoping I can at least do that.

Glancing around the library, I see that it is mainly empty. There is scarcely anyone here and I appreciate the silence. To my dismay, I had also learned that all the couples will move into the palace the night. before the tournament’s first day.

The double doors to the library open and I turn to see Lucia peek in, her eyes lighting up when she spots

“Luna Evangeline!” She whispers loudly. I frown slightly at that title.

“Evangeline.” I correct her, as she hurries over, trying her best not to run and remain graceful.

“You’re the Luna now… congratulations on your wedding…” She says, lowering her head to me politely, as if just remembering all that.

I reach over, and place three fingers under her chin and tilt her head up and shake my head. “Lucia… I’m still Evangeline… your friend, or I hope we were friends.” I say.

“Of course, we were- I mean we are… but you are a Luna now.”

“And it changes nothing, so tell me why you were looking for me?” I say.

She nods, smiling gently before she looks around and then reaches into the bag she is carrying. “I got you something.”

“Oh, for me?” I ask in surprise, not expecting anything.

She nods as she takes out a small rectangular box, its plain white with gold writing on it.

“Here” She says, holding it out to me.

“Thank you.” I say, as I take it. My heart skips a beat as I flip the lid open. My eyes widen when I look at the gold bracelet that sits on the suede cushion. A delicate chain with three charms on it set with pearls.

“I found out your birthday is June the third, so you’re a Gemini, hence the zodiac charm, a pearl pendant for your birthstone of the month of June, and a good luck charm to help you through this tournament.” She explains, looking at me with a smile, but I can see she’s worried I won’t like it but… I love it, I’ve never ever had such a thoughtful gift. 7
