His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

Chapter 19 Words of Warning

EVANGELINE.

“In wh-where?”

She tilted her head, giving me a gentle yet firm look and I looked down, knowing I was caught. “I swear I didn’t know he’d be there.” I whispered, terrified.

What if she told Zedkiel?

“I assumed as much; you have to realise that you can’t do this Evangeline. You are Prince Zedkiel’s now and if he found out-”

“Please don’t tell anyone,” I begged, reaching over and taking her hand.

She shook her head, “Oh honey, I won’t, but although I took you to the fragrance store… an Alphas nose is far superior to that of an Omegas.”

So she knew… and that was why she took me to the fragrance store…

“You need to shower when you get home, just in case he finds out. When you stepped out…” She looked. around the café casually. “I could smell him, and as an Omega, we can tell the difference between an Alphas scent and an ordinary werewolf. If the third prince smells another Alpha on you… things can go bad, fast.”

I know that… Goddess I do, I really do…

“He let you out, and if you carry on like this, life can get better. Look, you are alive, he’s taken a liking to you, no woman comes out of that room alive…. Just please don’t try anything that might upset him. Ok?” She whispered, placing her free hand over mine. “Please?” 4

“Ok.” I said, forcing a smile as I picked up my mug. I remembered the prince’s ritual and looked up sharply. “Can you tell me about the ritual?” I spoke barely above a whisper, although there only seemed to be humans around. We still had to be careful.

She sighed and nodded reluctantly. “What we speak of remains here…”

I nodded, “I promise.”

“Well years ago, everyone thought the Third Prince would be the next Alpha, even though his mother’s truth was always a secret. He was clearly the best in everything… but then on the night of his ritual… Instead of the moon glowing down upon us, everything was dark and chaotic. A clear sign that he never should have entered the chamber… after all, he isn’t a full Lycan, but the Prince and King still had faith. he’d succeed…”

She seemed to hesitate, and it was obvious she didn’t want to have this conversation.

“Please tell me, I need to know since I am stuck with him for life, I want to understand him.” I urged her, and she nodded as she sipped her drink.

“Well, there’s not much, but the moon hid away that night. The moon goddess turned her back on him and from that day… He began changing… becoming less human and more beast.”

An ominous silence fell between us, and I wondered what he really was.

“We should really hurry. We need to get back.” Her words signalled the end of the conversation and I knew even if I pushed, I wouldn’t get anything more from her.
