His Dark Obsession

77. Making My Own Decision

EVANGELINE.

Night has fallen and I feel completely numb. Vienna was a mother to two children. She and Alpha Amar Lendorn had been together for quite a while and suddenly she was dead.

They say there was poison on her skin, so whoever did this could have put it on an object, touched her or some other means.

The first thing Zedkiel had said was, ‘Thank g*d, you forfeited, or this would have been pinned on you.”

It’s true… if I had stepped out to spar with her… I would have been blamed.

Someone is out there trying to thwart Zed and me from doing well in this tournament. Or worse, they are trying to have us removed, but why?

“Drink something.” Lucia urges gently

I’m currently sitting in the Omega’s lounge with her. Kash is watching me whilst Zedkiel is trying to help track down any clues. This time he refused to back down just because he is a contestant. Everyone else was told to return to their quarters after a thorough examination was done that the substance was not on any surface or anything. The entire air was filled with a powerful sense of discord and fear

Whoever is behind this made sure the scent was non-existent, and the powder itself was not something the naked eye would pick up and if you move too close, you would be affected.

Alpha Amar had suffered a heart attack shortly after and although it was first assumed it was the shock of losing his mate, it turned out that due to his proximity to his wife, he had been lightly poisoned. He is currently in the hospital wing.

I shake my head, feeling sick to my stomach. “These games need to stop; this tournament isn’t safe. “I say, looking up at Kash as a few other omegas are gathered around the room, some talking in pairs or simply sitting around the large fire that burns in the hearth. The atmosphere is uneasy and I can feel everyone is on edge.

Zedkiel had made it clear Kash was to stay by my side and seeing how anxious I was getting in my room, he decided to bring me to Lucia and I’m grateful I needed someone to talk to. Of course, first, the entire place had been cleansed and Lucia had been checked over too.

He rubs his shoulders, frowning thoughtfully. “We know that the King knows that, but it’s not that easy War is coming, and if anything was to happen to the king – Goddess forbid, the kingdom’s stability is vital.”

“I know, but do you really think Prince Chasyn or Zedkiel will allow the kingdom to have a civil war for the crown?”

“No, but Zedkiel is the third born… they are not the only princes,” Kash mutters, quietly glancing at the doors that are closed, but the guards are still near.

I sigh, wishing Raziel had shown-

I look up suddenly, and my heart thuds as I realise exactly what has happened here.

No wonder whatever he said in the Chamber was confusing. I had a feeling he had tried to mislead Zedkiel, but now I’m certain.

Raziel doesn’t want to let Zerachiel be known as the rightful king. So, he announces all other rightful kings like Alpha Ambrose when they come of age, but it is Zerachiel’s reincarnations that he refuses.

I mean, they get a vision, but what about the rest of the people? How do they know the recipient of the vision isn’t lying? And I’m not accusing anyone, I’m just trying to understand how it works.
