His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

Chapter 18 A Risky Meeting
EVANGELINE.

My heart was racing as I glanced at the door behind me and then up at the man before me feeling. completely confused. “H-How did you get in here?”

What if the guards saw him?

“By luck, I was out here getting some things for Grandmother, and I saw you shopping. You look happy…” He said softly. My head was spinning far too much to focus on his words. “I know Omega Lucia always. stops by this shop, and so I thought I’d wait here… How have you been, Angel?” He asked, stepping closer to me.

The room was far too tight for two people. I stepped back, hitting the door behind me, and stared up at him. A thousand emotions coursed through me. Shock, happiness, confusion, fear, worry..

Nervously I chewed on my bottom lip, “Y-you shouldn’t be here.” I whispered. If Zedkiel found out, he’d kill

him!

Raising his hands he cupped my face, “But I missed you…” He said softly, looking down at me, my heart soared, and I could’nt help but smile softly at the man I had loved for so long… His eyes flashed as he took in my clothes. “Has he hurt you?”

I shook my head, reality settling in, and tugged free from his hold. I looked away from him, remembering the mark on my back. He caressed my neck and remembering Zedkiel’s touch, I moved away. I didn’t know why, but Sinclair touching me was making me uncomfortable. All I could think of was Zedkiel’s rage and those piercing gold-green eyes.

“You should go. You know the rules, Sinclair. I’m his now.” I murmured, slowly turning around and lowering the jacket I was wearing, letting him see my back, that was now scarred by Zedkiel’s mark.

I heard him swear. Closing my eyes, I could feel his aura rage around me.

“He marked you.” His voice was low and menacing, but the truth was he could be as angry as he wanted, but nothing could be changed. I belonged to Zedkiel for life. That sounded like an awfully long time, but it depended on how long I survived.

Fixing my jacket, I turned and looked up at him. “I’m his now, his property. He can do what he wants with me… What do you want, Sinclair? Why are you even here?” I thought I’d be happy to see him… but right. now, I just felt uncomfortable and scared.

This was wrong. I felt like I was doing something wrong…

“Angel… I thought you’d be happy to see me?” He was frowning in concern.

So did I…
