His Dark Obsession

Chapter 136

(Book 2) Chapter 57- Taking the Lead

ZEDKIEL.

She left.

Without even a glance back… because of what?

Title of the document

I wanted to keep her safe, that was all. Things had blurred out for a few moments, and I’m left feeling empty.

I had focused on the plan at hand. I know the way werewolves work, obviously, it’s been a part of me. Right now, they are just outside the forest that keeps us apart. I know their battle formations… heck; I helped them plan most of them. If they had any brains, they would toss it aside and come up with something new.

Why are we even fighting?

I frown, massaging my temples. Everything is murky, and sometimes I find myself questioning why I am doing this?

‘Don’t confuse yourself, you are doing nothing wrong.’ Zerachiel growls.

Is Evangeline right? She is level-headed…

‘No, she isn’t! The werewolves- our own people are trying to kill us! You being a hybrid, has always been an issue!’

Calm down… I take a deep breath. ‘I get that… she shouldn’t have left.’ I reply quietly.

‘You’re right. She left when she should have stuck by our side. It’s a shame, but she must think she’s better than us now. Since she is a Goddess.’ Zerachiel growls, I can feel his anger and pain.

‘Let’s not jump to conclusions.’ I growl, ‘She still loves us, or me.’

He growls at that, but I try to block him off. My head is already feeling f*uc*king weird, I’m not sure if it’s the poisonous fumes affecting my vampire side or what, but I’m not myself. Putting that block up is proving difficult too.

I’m struggling to keep my sanity. She just left me. Just like that…

I stare down at Ziahra, who is finally stable. I have more things to worry about. Maybe Lvangeline is trying to fix things from her own point.

‘Yes, she’s probably trying to find a way for the werewolves to be forgiven. The damage is done, Zedkiel, as the king of these people you need to step up.’ Zerachiel reminds me.

Arguing with him is making things worse. 1 get his point.

“We march out at nightfall. I have already briefed our warriors. Unless they forfeit, this war will not stop.” I say to Zeina, she frowns and nods.

Isn’t that extreme? I think I need to think with a clear ‘What you are doing is the only way.’ Zerachiel’s voice fills my head.

His talking alone is weighing me down, I don’t know why, but I feel as if I’m being put into a window and I’m looking at my life from a back window… kind of like when he takes control but allows me to be present. But he isn’t taking over. That much I know. “Are you certain you wish to do this?” Zeina asks me calmly.

‘Of course, we are! They tried to kill us all! ‘ Zerachiel growls.

‘I told you to calm the f*uc*k down!’ I snarl. His hatred and rage are bleeding into mine and my head is only thumping harder.

“Yes, I am sure. Twenty-seven vampires are already dead thanks to the poison in that forest… They knew I was coming here to sort things out, yet they still came. That’s chance enough.”

My heart is pounding and I can barely focus. The pain and anguish in my chest are crippling.

Is it because she left?

‘Yes, and the fact that on the day you became king… so many of your people died. That’s not the reminder any king would want on the day they took over… enough is enough now.’ Zerachiel says. I frown. It can’t be the only option. ‘Evangeline.’ I try to call through the link and my stomach twists when I’m met with a block. She’s shutting me out…
