His Dark Obsession By Moonlight Muse Chapter 58

58. A Murder

ZEDKIEL.

I look at her sharply, glancing back at the door before I crouch before her on the ground. There is no way someone like Evangeline can kill anyone, let alone the Oracle. The woman was one of the most powerful beings.

“Look, you didn’t kill her.” I say quietly, rubbing her arms comfortingly. I take a second to relish in those sparks as my hands rub her arms.

I don’t know how they came back but I’m glad they did… She’s mine…

“I did… I did it Zedkiel! I-I went to see her to ask my question! Then- Then I killed her!” Her voice is panicky, and she’s beginning to tremble too. Her heart thundering like a galloping horse. (2)

I can see the fear and regret in her eyes.

She didn’t kill her; I know that for certain, but she sure thought she did.

I don’t know how to convince her otherwise, and so I simply pull her close and wrap my arms around her tightly. I press my lips to the top of her head.

“Listen to me, you didn’t kill her. I know that and I don’t know why you think you did. But you aren’t a killer Little Mouse, alright?”

“Zed…” She whimpers and I caress her hair.

“Look I need you to do to me a favour? Can you do that?”

She tilts her head up and nods but it’s doing nothing to calm her anxiousness. I know what the Shadow Wolf had said, but I don’t believe it. She does not have darkness within her.

“I need you to not repeat this to anyone. Let me handle it.”

“No, they’ll know! They’ll realise I did it, and I did! I have to pay for my crimes. I have to…” Her eyes are filled with tears as she clutches my arms. “I didn’t mean to! I promise I didn’t!” She s*bs.

For a split second, I feel a slight aura around her, but it vanishes as fast as it appears, and I’m reminded of the

way

I found her in the water… There’s something about her, but neither of us knows what that is. This was why I wanted her to ask the Oracle about who she is.

“You said you went to ask your question; did you get an answer?” I ask her.

She nods, when there’s a knock on the door again, making my eyes flash in irritation.

“Coming!” I growl. “Tell me later,” I add to her in a much calmer voice, helping her to her feet.

“Wait, Zed I need to tell you-” She stops abruptly opening her mouth, but no sound comes out, she tries again, her mouth is open but once again she says nothing. She’s beginning to panic, and I can hear her heart thundering violently.

What is going on?

“Evangeline, it’s ok, we’ll talk later. You don’t need to work yourself up. Let’s see what Dad wants and then we’ll talk.” I promise her quietly.

“I-” She stops, and she’s shaking as she looks down, breaking into a fresh wave of tears. “Goddess…”
