His Dark Obsession

50. Safe

EVANGELINE.

I don’t know what happened but I’m alive; I had really thought I was going to die but Zedkiel saved me. However, his wrath was beyond terrifying. I had woken up to him standing there smelling of blood. His eyes burning red as the King, Chasyn, Alcazer and Ragnar tried to hold him back. I don’t know what he wanted to do, but he was in a rage. The healer steps back, looking down at me clearly scared for his life.

“I want the entire place turned upside down until I find who did this.” Zedkiel now snarls, pulling free from his brother’s hold and crossing his arm as he reaches down and grabs my hand, looking down at the bruises on my wrists that were caused by the ropes.

I’m awake but my throat feels raw, and I have a bitter taste in my mouth.

“We will Zedkiel. Now get some rest too. You’ve had a long day and you need to be up early tomorrow, the results will be announced then.” Alpha Ambrose says and Zedkiel scoffs.

“That’s all you can think of?”

“This tournament is still important Zed, in fact, it seems to me someone wants you out of the game.” Chasyn says frowning as he looks down at me.

I feel a little self-conscious with all these men crowded around and so I close my eyes.

I can’t see them… they aren’t here… 1

“I wonder who, though? But is it a surprise? You make enemies faster than a pup soils his diaper.” Ragnar remarks mockingly.

I hear Zedkiel scoff. “I’m not threatened… it just shows they feel I’m a threat… Father, from this day on, I’m placing guards with Evangeline at all times. I’m not risking it.”

“Then how do you expect her to participate? Will you always shield her? She needs to be strong if she’s to ever be considered as the Queen, Zedkiel.” Alcazer says icily.

I hear a low growl, and something slams against the wall making my eyes fly open. He has Alcazer pinned against the wall. Both men are glaring at one another in rage.

“You don’t need to tell me what she needs to be to become Queen. She survived down there… she could have f**king died.” Zedkiel growls defensively and I feel a warmth flood me. He’s always defending me… Now get the f*ck out. All of you.”

The king glances at me and gives me a small smile.

“Rest well dear.” He says before they all turn and leave and I feel I can breathe a little. I didn’t even realise how hard it is with so many Alpha auras in one room… Zedkiel locks the bedroom door, his red eyes turning to me.
