His Dark Obsession

43. Perfect for Each Other

EVANGELINE.

It is the following night and I have just gotten dressed in a pale pink satin off-shoulder dress that Zedkiel has picked out for me; I was surprised at his choice considering he preferred dark colours… but I didn’t argue, and when he himself put on grey pants and a white shirt, I think we matched perfectly. I don’t know how I feel about going back to the Welhaven Mansion… The wedding is being held in the mansion gardens.

We still haven’t decided on the two questions to ask the Oracle. We just need to think very carefully before we do.

Zedkiel and I are sitting in the back of the sleek back car and with every passing minute, my nervousness is growing. The king and queen are also attending the celebration. I am a little surprised that not all the royals were, but after all, their importance is far greater. But having the king and queen come is probably a great honour in itself. It just reminds me that the Lycans are far above the rest of the Alphas, just as Zedkiel is above Sinclair.

Much to my surprise, when we enter pack grounds it no longer feels like home, but I guess it is because this isn’t my home anymore.

How life has changed so fast…

“Upset?” He asks coldly. I turn to him and shake my head.

“No… it just doesn’t feel like home anymore,” I say honestly.

His frown softens, and he looks me over. “It shouldn’t. You’re my woman now. My pack is yours, not this place.”

I nod slowly and he places his hand on my thigh, his thumb rubbing my leg softly. I bite my lip, feeling the tingles of his touch make pleasure ripple through me.

There are only two nights until the tournament… Zedkiel hasn’t said anything to me regarding consummating our marriage and I don’t think he will. It is almost as if he’s waiting for me to take the initiative, but if we don’t, then won’t we be excluded?

I come out of my thoughts when the car comes to a stop, and the door is opened for Zedkiel. He gets out first and I follow, gracefully slipping my legs out first before I stand up. His arm instantly wraps around my waist. His grip is tight, and he pulls me firmly to his side. I bite my lip as we make our way through to the garden.

There’s a modest number of guests, but I feel several eyes on us. The moment we enter, a silence falls, and I can feel it, the wave of fear that seems to exude from them all.

“Alpha Prince Zedkiel, what a pleasant surprise.” Alpha Aeron says as he comes over. His gaze flickers to me for a moment and I see a glimmer of sadness in those eyes.

Zedkiel holds up the invitation card. “Not really when we were specifically sent an invitation, and the sender tells the messenger to hand it to my Luna who you haven’t even greeted.” He says coldly, tossing it at Alpha Aeron, who catches it before bowing his head to me.

“Ah… I do apologise and, of course, I’m going to welcome Evangeline.” Alpha Aeron says as he turns to me and smiles gently. “Welcome, Evangeline-”

“Luna Evangeline, or Princess Evangeline to you, Alpha.” Zedkiel counters. “You may not have treated my woman that well when she was a part of this pack, but that changes now.” He says coldly, signalling the
