His Dark Obsession

(Book 2) Chapter 58. Through Her Eyes

Chapter 59. Betrayal

RAGNAR.

“The Queen was in on this?” Evangeline asks sharply. Her back is to me, and her power is radiating off her in waves. Powerful but oddly soothing and serene and I f*uc*king hate that, but at the same time. I can’t really deny it. She has a pull on my Lycan, and I can feel his restlessness as he wishes to submit to her. That doesn’t make sense… unless Dad has passed away… has she become the next ruler?

I don’t want to think about that. Losing dad… Sure, in life people always die, but not this soon…

At the same time, this power doesn’t feel like the command of the Alpha of Alphas.

“She is… but when I saw her, I felt she was not a willing contributor in this. She did what she did. so Dad wasn’t killed That’s what she implied when she came to meet me earlier.” I reply.

“Yet Maryka turned out to be a traitor and the one behind all of this is none other than the f*uc*king Night Shade Pack.”

Her heart thumps as she spins back around, her eyes blazing. “What? The Night Shade Pack?’ She asks sharply.

“Yeah, they have always wanted this kingdom, and when Mom turned out to be Dad’s mate, they were forced into an alliance of peace, one they never wanted. Now that we are in this situation, what better time than now to try to take the kingdom than when we are at our lowest and have those still loyal to them work from within?” I try to hide my irritation.

“This is bad… I didn’t sense he was lying…” She isn’t making sense, but she’s panicking.

“What is it?” I ask, frowning “I thought I could trust Godric somewhat. I left him with the army, but he was also immune to my command… which means only one thing Godric isn’t a full werewolf, and I’ve just left him with my army!” She says, biting her lip.

“I don’t know if Godric himself is the instigator. From what Maryka was spewing, I think you may not have f*uc*ked up as badly as you think.” I frown.

She looks up, both of us too absorbed in our own conversation to pay attention to those around us. As they try to assist one another, relieved that the cells have been opened.

“What do you mean?”

“There was no mention of Godric himself… She kept saying to the elders. Godric seems to be isolated within his own pack, or that’s how I saw it.” I frown.

“Tell me what happened from the beginning.” She says and I find myself nodding…

(FLASHBACK – UPON RETURN TO THE CASTLE) ‘What the hell is the meaning of this!” Kash snarls as we’re both shoved into the dungeons.

We had been tricked. F*uc*king that’s what! Ever since Jeremiah had suggested we go ahead, so I don’t try anything, Zerachiel had been in agreement. Of course, he would be. I didn’t trust him either!

I remember looking at Evelyn. I don’t know if the others are f*uc*king blind, but she’s scared of something. Ever since she came out of that temple trying to hide the tremble in her hands and the fact Zerachiel stepped out looking smug and calm had put me on alert.

Jeremiah now looks down at us. “A hybrid and a traitor… there’s no place for either of you here.”
