His Dark Obsession

(Book 2) Chapter 60. A Passing

EVANGELINE.

Danciana and Maryka slowly rise to their feet. From their pale faces, they were not expecting that. I rein in my aura, glancing around. No one moves. I guess I don’t need to use my powers. They bow down to my simple commands. They can sense who I am, my presence alone enough.

“You should be ashamed for having your mate thrown in prison and betraying him.” I say icily to Maryka. “Hold your tongue unless I ask you to speak”

She flinches, her eyes darting around the room as I advance upon her.

“You, as the King’s Luna, should be representing him! Not defying his beliefs.”

With each step closer, I also pay attention to those around me, realising that more than half of the men are wearing the crest of the Night Shade Pack.

“She is a traitor… apprehend her!” Danciana shouts, forced to step back.

But no one moves, and I reach her, reaching up I rip the crown that she wears off her head, tossing it onto the throne behind her.

Gasps fill the room and even Danciana is visibly shaking as she realises she can’t move, my eyes blazing as they dare her to defy me.

“Luna Evangeline!” Philip exclaims. I glare at the member of the king’s court, instantly silencing him.

“Being the goddess sure makes for a boring showdown,” Ragnar mutters, and I almost smile.

“Lock the traitors, Danciana and Maryka Vilkas, in the dungeons where they will remain until their sentences are announced!” I growl, my eyes blazing.

There are probably traitors here who do not wish to see me as queen, or some forced or bound to serve the Luna Queen, or should I say Ex-Queen.

“You are making a mistake. YOU FOOLS! SHE’S THE TRAITOR!” Drystan thunders.
