His Dark Obsession

His Fated Obsession (Book 2) 52. A Painful Decision

ZEDKIEL.

Both Evangeline and I look at her sharply.

“That’s not true. Whoever told you that crap lied. It’ s the vampires who have been on our doorstep. Threatening our kind, that if they did not hand me over, they would wage war.” I snarl, my eyes flashing.

Evangeline is by my side in an instant, her heart racing a little faster as she places a hand on my chest, sending intense sparks through me. They calm me, despite

Zerachiel’s rising anger.

‘Zedkiel, calm down… she…’

“Is lying,” I growl.

Zeina raises an eyebrow.

“You are blinded, but that will soon change.” She says quietly. “It’s the werewolves who send assassins to check us off, handful by handful… like cowards. It is the werewolves who have been murdering even the innocent children.” Zeina’s eyes glimmer red, her heart thumping faster.

I frown, about to say something, when Evangeline shakes her head slightly and speaks.

“I can sense that you aren’t lying, but you might just be believing something that isn’t true. There’s a misunderstanding somewhere and we will figure it out.” She says softly. “Besides, these kingdoms are now united through us. We will do the right thing-”

She’s cut off when the sound of a huge explosion goes off.

“What the fuck is that!” I growl as I rush from the room, another violent explosion makes the chandelier on the ceiling tremble.

“She’s hurt!”

“Move!”

I turn sharply as the doors are open and two men run inside, one is holding a bloody dagger, whilst the other is carrying a bloody Ziahra, they are in front of me in a flash.

“We’re… the werewolves are here!” One of the men says.

Ziahra coughs, blood spilling from her mouth, the strong stench of blood fills my nose and I look down at her. She’s breathing heavily, her face pale and I see she’s clutching her stomach weakly.

I quickly take her from the men, my hands instantly drenched with blood.

“Ziahra!” Zeina says, rushing over.

“Listen… you have… go back… it’s not what…” She coughs up more blood. I rush to the lounge and place her down as Zeina shouts for someone to bring an antidote.
