His Dark Obsession

53. Conflict

EVANGELINE.

I cough when he lets go, and I look up at him.

“Zedkiel!” I say, reaching for him, but it’s then I realise it’s not him… “You’re…”

“Can you not tell the difference between us?” He says darkly, and I realise my

mistake.

He’s talking in that strange stiff manner like the words aren’t natural to him…

Oh no… was I just talking to Zedkiel right now? “Y-your…”

“I told you not to mention anything to Zedkiel… He heard what you said. He knows we

talked. You are making things extremely hard for me now, Little Dark

Mate.”

“I didn’t mean to. Keeping secrets from

Zedkiel is only causing problems. I need

answers. You said he will kill me, you said

that-”

“I also said do not tell him.” He looks

down at his hands as if examining them.

“I didn’t, I was asking you-” I begin, but he casts me a warning glare. “I’m sorry

for not being careful…” I end meekly.

“There is no need for meaningless words.

Time is running out, Little Dark Mate, and you are awakening… Soon the stars will

align…”

He’s talking cryptically, but I’m taking in

every word.

“What is your name?” I ask bravely. I

don’t know how dangerous he is, but one

thing I know for certain is that he will not

hurt me.

“Zarachiel.” He says after a moment.

Like the archangel…

“Zarachiel… Nice to meet you.” I say, giving him a small, gentle smile. He doesn’t

respond to it, but he does reach out and caress my cheek. “Y-you call me Dark Mate…

why?”

“Because you hold great evil within you… but I don’t care. You are still my mate and it’s

my duty to protect you. It doesn’t matter what else happens, you are mine.”

He says, a small frown on his face.

It’s like he is trying to convince himself.

My stomach twists. Evil? I’m not evil.

‘Aren’t you?’ That same sinister voice comes in my head, making me shiver and

I frown.

“You say that I’m your mate…”

He simply smirks. “Even Zedkiel realised you are our mate.” He murmurs. “Do you not

feel it? The sparks when I touch you?”

He runs his hand down my cheek and

neck before he grabs me by the arm and

yanks me into his lap.

“I-I do, but they aren’t- they can’t be…” I

trail off, not knowing what I’m even trying to say. Trying to understand what he’s saying.

“Are you insinuating that we are mates?” I ask softly, my cheeks

burning when he seems a little more interested in outlining my nipple with his finger.

I shy away from his touch and cross my arms over my breasts, knowing I should have

put on a bra. The hunger in his eyes isn’t something I can ignore.

“I’m not insinuating anything. I know that you are our mate. Zedkiel knows it

too.” He states, making my stomach drop. My heart thunders as the words finally sink in.

I was… I am… an Alpha Prince’s mate? My

hands feel shaky when I move my hair off my face.

“W-what?”

“He realised today when we felt you
