His Dark Obsession

(Book 2) Chapter 64. The Time Has Come

EVANGELINE.

‘Evangeline. You must not let him strike your-’ Luna began.

‘Don’t!’ Evelyn sounds panicked.

‘She needs to know!’ Luna shouts.

I push Zerachiel away with immense force, backing up a little while trying to drown out Luna’s and Evelyn’s voices in my head. I can’t focus if they’re arguing.

Zerachiel growls as he raises the dagger, lunging at me once again.

“Zedkiel, if you can hear me… fight this!” I shout breathlessly, fending Zerachiel off.

He’s strong, and I know what I need to bring myself to do.

I spare a quick glance around; wolves and vampires are clashing in all directions. There’s a darkness growing around them, I can sense it, and I can smell the blood, feeling pack links breaking away.

Our warriors are dying… unnecessarily. Our people are suffering once again.

“Stop Zerachiel! What do you get from this?!” I shout, my eyes blazing.

“This is your doing Evangeline, look around! Wolves and vampires are both dying because of your selfishness.” Zerachiel taunts, his eyes blazing with hatred.

“My selfishness?” I raise an eyebrow as I spin around, kicking him in the stomach.

He staggers back. “I was thinking you’d choose to be by my side. What of the bond? It clearly never meant enough to you.”

“It did, but I will never side with a monster!” I snarl as Luna’s voice breaks through my mind, making me falter.

“Be careful Evangeline! Please-”

“Don’t alarm her in the midst of battle.” Evelyn growls.

“She must know! You are carrying our pup, be careful Evangeline!’ Luna’s urgency and her revelation make my eyes widen.

I freeze. For a moment I’m shell-shocked.

Time seems to slow as Zerachiel continues to spout hateful words, but I can’t comprehend them anymore as I realise what this means.

I’m… carrying a pup, a baby, my baby…
