His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse
Chapter 4
4. A Ball
EVANGELINE.
How could I be so stupid? How could I let myself believe he truly could love me? I felt foolish, I am what everyone says, what Celia said. I am a nobody, and I will never be anything to Sinclair other than someone to fill his bed on request.
I took a step back from him, needing some distance so I could think clearly. “B-but do you mean as yours on the side?” I whispered.
His gaze softened, and he sighed, stepping closer and grabbing me by my waist, he pulled me close.
“Of course. I care for you, but we both know you can’t be a Luna, or even bear pups. So, you should consider yourself lucky that I will still keep you. No one else will want you, but I still do.” He said softly. “I’m sorry if I scared you tonight, Evangeline, I just… you looked beautiful. You’re my little omega.”
His words stung, and somehow, I felt like the man I admired was vanishing but then why was his gaze so soft?
Maybe I was overreacting…
Deep down I didn’t believe that though, I was hurt.
The sound of footsteps approaching came and Sinclair’s eyes flashed with irritation before he stepped away from me. I on the other hand felt relieved as Grandmother Philomena came into view.
“Ah there you are, Evangeline! Come, I have a gift for you.” Her eyes flickered between us both before she motioned at me to hurry, and for the first time in my life I was thankful to get away from Sinclair.
I followed Grandmother Philomena not even realising I was shaking slightly. I had imagined my first kiss a thousand times, but it wasn’t how I had expected it…I never imagined it to be filled with so much torment. How I had dreamed of kissing Sinclair a thousand times, yet now that I had it hurt worse than the wishful thinking. For so long I wanted him and thought he would love me, I was naive as he didn’t love me. He loved the idea of me as his side whore and nothing more because I was an Omega… an object for him to use when he couldn’t be bothered to pleasure himself, right?
His apology niggled at my mind and the urge to run to my room filled me.
“Step up!” Grandmother Philomena said curtly.
“Yes, Grandmother Philomena!”
I hurried after her brisk stride until we ended up in the room, I had heard her and Alpha Aeron talking in.
“Right so the gift is, tomorrow evening there is a ball at the Alpha of Alphas castle and of course we are invited. I actually think it would be befitting for you to come, too.”
My stomach sank, so soon, they were getting rid of me so soon. I wouldn’t even be graced with a chance to say goodbye to the only home I have known. If it was not for the conversation earlier, I wouldn’t have been worried… but taking me to a ball on a full moon where all werewolves are more restless and hungrier… I knew it was how they were planning of ridding me from the pack.
“Grandmother, wi-will it be ok if I came? I mean, I’m just an Omega?”
“You will be fine, you will come as my assistant, and you are easy on the eyes. No one will mind. I will have your clothes sent to you, I expect you to be ready at nine in the evening, sharp!” She said, her tone leaving no room for argument.
“Yes ma’am.” I replied, lowering my head to her.
“Now off you go, enjoy the party, I shall head to bed.”
I turned, pausing, a part of me wanted to ask her what will happen to me now that I was a wolfless omega, but I couldn’t gather the courage and instead left the room bidding her goodnight…

The following day I woke up exhausted, I hadn’t slept well, and had tossed and turned all night spending most of the night watching the shadows cast on the roof from my open curtains. I didn’t know how I’d face Sinclair after that, would he be angry at me for doing what I did? He has always been so good to me…
I sat up, clutching the duvet to my chest, my bedroom was on the far end of the house and with no direct sunlight it was one of the chillier rooms of the manor. Now I wonder if I was placed over here intentionally so as not to disturb the future Alpha.
Knowing I couldn’t stay in bed, I decided to spend the day cleaning after last night’s party. What better way to avoid Sinclair than this?
Hours passed, but I didn’t stop, making sure I cleaned every window in the mansion aside from Sinclair’s and the Alpha’s room. I was finally finishing the attic window when my gaze fell on Sinclair, who was in the training grounds behind the Manor gardens. He was shirtless as he trained with one of the warriors.
I watched him, my heart squeezing at what happened last night, and I sighed softly, slowly getting down from the stool I had used to reach the skylight window. I sat down on the stool and dropped the cloth into the bucket, gazing around the attic.
Boxes were piled to the side, as well as some crates and suitcases of things that were never used.
