His Dark Obsession

36. Regret

ZEDKIEL.

Over a week later.

That night, I messed up.

For a fleeting moment, I saw her relax and rather than run from me, she had embraced our closeness. Until I f*cked it all up and ripped through her flesh. I don’t remember what exactly happened. I just know. that the urge to taste her blood consumed me and I had bitten into her. Then I remember her torn flesh and blood dripping down her breast as she stood across the bathroom.

But it was the look in her eyes that got to me.

The fear… the fear of the beast before her. The same fear I see in the eyes of everyone else…

I found her screaming on the bathroom floor and then she had lost consciousness, probably due to the blood loss. I wonder how much I had drunk and although I hated it; it rejuvenated me like none other ever could and I wanted more. So much f*cking more and I know I can’t. I had carried her to the bed and bandaged her up before I had wiped her clean, hoping she’d be ok.

When she awoke the following morning, her words still replayed in my mind as she stared ahead, refusing to look at me.

“I will help you win this tournament, but I need you to promise me that you will stay away from me.” There was no fear or worry in her voice. It was emotionless and hard…

Like always, I f*cked it all up.

I close the gap between us, stopping a few feet away when she tenses. “I won’t hurt you… at least you should know you will be safe in front of others… but as long as their eyes are on us, we need to act like a couple.
