His Dark Obsession

An Accusation

EVANGELINE.

‘He’s only angry because we disobeyed him.’ I tell Luna, who chuckles.

‘Yes, and he said he will punish us.’ She purrs. I raise my eyebrows, internally shaking my head.

She’s a naughty one.

‘Of course, that’s the only part you remember.’ I reply.

I hear Evelyn’s faint scoff and my heart squeezes. She’s Zedkiel’s mate too… yet she has to watch us being intimate…

‘Don’t blame yourself, plus she can’t see everything like I do, like right now she can’t hear your thoughts.’ Luna reassures me.

“I know, but I want her free.’

Luna says. ‘I understand.’

She falls silent as the Alphas and Alpha heirs troop into the room alongside the other members of the court. All of Zedkiel’s brothers are here, Danciana, the Luna Queen is beside Alpha Ambrose, a small frown on her face. Kash is here too… the king’s beta and more.

Looking at him now, to my surprise, he reminds me of Kash a little. How interesting… no wonder Kash is a powerful wolf. He must be of beta blood…

I’m getting many questioning looks and the murmurs regarding my hair are rising, even from those who had seen me step out of that chamber. They had been so distracted by the mark that they hadn’t even noticed my hair until now.

Alpha Ambrose strides toward us and looks between us. ‘I will announce that the new ruler has been shown and abolish the tournament.’ He says through the link.

Zedkiel nods, and I’m not so sure it is necessary to mention, but I am happy to see the tournament being brought to an end. There’s so much more we need to do, and it was just an obstacle in the way, not to mention it is nothing but dangerous.

“Before Alpha Prince Zedkiel Vilkas heads the meeting that he has called, there is something I need to share. Earlier tonight, someone entered the chamber after performing the ritual bath.” He begins, and the room falls silent, all eyes on him, it was obvious that the word had not spread to everyone. I’m certain that was at the king’s command.

“But there is no member of the royal family who has not entered.” Queen Danciana says quietly. Her eyes are sharp as she stares at the king.

‘She’s probably thinking Dad has another child.’ Zed’s voice comes through the link, and I can sense the amusement in his voice.

I bite the inside of my cheek, trying not to smile. I felt bad for the queen, and Zedkiel’s amusement was no less.

‘Well, just remember that you are not allowed to have any other women.’ I say, unable to stop myself, pouting slightly. His sharp eyes snap to mine, but before he can reply, the king waves the queen away

“No, not a member of the Vilkas family by blood… but still a part of this family. I would like everyone to look towards the miracle of your chosen queen! Luna Princess Evangeline Vilkas is our true queen, the ruler who will ascend my throne when I step down!” Alpha Ambrose says clearly.

The shock on their faces is something I won’t ever forget; Celia’s face has dropped, and I can see the shock and jealousy that’s written all over it, but it’s Sinclair’s face that makes my gaze falter upon him.

There’s regret in his eyes, and I almost want to scoff. He regrets letting me go because I’m now a queen. Power was all he ever craved. I turn my attention to Zedkiel, my world…

Only one may survive… my hand tightens on his and he looks at me sharply, frowning slightly, almost as if sensing my sadness. He tugs me into his arms and brushes my hair off my neck, allowing everyone to look upon my mark.

“I don’t know what to think. Should I be insulted? She’s not a Vilkas by blood after all.” Ragnar says coldly.

“Well brother, seems like she’s special.” Draven smirks.
