His Dark Obsession

(Book 2) Chapter 63. Beneath a Shadowed Moon

EVANGELINE.

Kash tenses by my side as Godric watches Zerachiel with keen interest.

‘Remember, no one attacks unless I say so.’ I warn through the link.

“We do not need to do this, Zerachiel. Let’s take it aside and talk.” I say clearly, my eyes simmering blue as Luna surfaces, her voice lacing with mine. “We are mates. Let’s do this together.”

“The only thing you want to do is kill me.” He scoffs.

He knows.

“You’re doubting me?” I ask, raising a brow. “Do your people know that they are not following their true King, but his Lycan who has imprisoned him within his own mind?” I make sure my voice rings powerfully through the forest.

A few vampires exchange looks, their eyes simmering dangerously. I see their hesitation, but none stop. They are under his command… and they will obey his every order. He’s compelling them to obey.

I glance around, trying to find Ziahra… but she isn’t in the front line… Kash had managed to contact her, and she said she’ll be prepared. He was on edge, and I know he wants to see her.

I never asked how things were between them, but it’s clear he cares for her. She would be taking a huge risk to go against him from their midst. We had asked her to see if she could win over some of the vampires, but she had said they were under his command. The only ones who would be slightly immune were those of his own blood.

That left Ziahra and Zeina, and Ziahra had told her when she had tried to talk to Zeina, she had refused to defy Zedkiel.

She’s alone there and Kash’s worry is legitimate.

“If we’re done talking…” Zerachiel sneers before he turns a little to face his people. His smirk vanishes, and his face becomes deadly serious. “Bring the Queen to me and kill the rest.”

Roars erupt from the vampires as they rush towards the werewolves. They growl in response and I fix my eyes on Zerachiel, unmoving as both sides meet in a roaring clash.

I step forward, my aim only to get close to Zerachiel.

All these years… all these centuries and lifetimes… it was he who caused our end …. That nightmare I have had repeatedly was a warning I never heeded…
