His Dark Obsession

A Dangerous Secrét

ZEDKIEL.

“Tonight, alright, let’s meet at the princes’ lounge. I’ll make sure there is plenty of food and drinks.” Chasyn says, casting one last glance at Isa, giving her a curt nod, and patting my arm before he turns and walks away, 1

I frown as I swiftly stride to the door to my quarters, unlock it and step inside. Isa follows and I glance at the table and sofa, remembering what happened here last night, and not wanting to ruin those memories, I lead the way to my office.

Isa shuts the door and follows me. I open the office door and, heading to my desk, I take a seat behind it.

Isa walks in and stands behind the seat opposite me. She’s frowning as she watches me seriously.

“Why did you call for me?” She asks, clearly disturbed.

“I want you to keep an eye on Cole, and make sure no one spots you. I have allowed his release, but I don’t trust him. I think he’s under a spell… and if he is, he won’t have any recollection of what he’s doing and even an alpha’s command won’t be able to fix that. Follow him discreetly and if anyone questions you, play dumb. No one is to know that I have asked this of you. I don’t want anyone to be alerted.” My command is clear, stressing on the importance of the task.

She nods, frowning slightly. “Is there anything specific you need me to observe? Aside from where he goes, am I to listen in on his conversations?” She asks quietly. She’s uneasy and clearly disturbed.

“If

you can do so without being caught, otherwise don’t risk it. Just keep tabs on whoever has any contact with him. And why are you so stressed out?” I ask sharply, her behaviour grinding

on my nerves.

“You should know why.” She replies as if she’s shocked I even asked her.

Women are so annoying. Why the hell are they so damn cryptic?

“If I knew, I wouldn’t ask. Now spit it out.” I growl.

She looks towards the door that she left slightly ajar, “What Prince Chasyn said, I don’t want Evangeline getting the wrong idea.”

Why would Evangeline get the wrong idea? I already told her she’s the only one that meant. anything to me in that way.

I sit back and look at her.

“She won’t,” I reply confidently.

“You’re smart, Zed, but you’re also really dense when it comes to women. I feel as if she knows, from the way she’s wary of me…” She has the audacity to say, crossing her arms.

My eyes flash as I frown. “No, I’m not dense, besides there’s never been anything of importance between us.’

“Does she know what happened, though?” She asks quietly.

Our eyes meet and I know she means what went down between us on her eighteenth birthday, nearly two years ago…

She had drunk a lot and so had I, but it wasn’t enough of an excuse… we had made out, to the point it almost went further, but I had backed out, knowing what may happen to her…

There were women I really didn’t care for, but I couldn’t risk her life, she was Kash’s sister and that had made me stop and leave. Although she had tried to persuade me to stay, I had refused… That was a long time ago and there really was nothing between us. Not anymore.
