64. Origins

ZEDKIEL.

I frown, watching Dad sharply. What scriptures? What the hell is this? The whispers that run through the crowd are growing. The confusion and unrest, irritating me.

“Will you still not talk to me?’ I ask my Lycan. I don’t think I’ve tried as hard before, as I have for the last few days to talk to him, but he hasn’t spoken since agreeing for me to f*ck Evangeline. I need him to realise that we are f**king one. I need him to back me up.

Silence.

“If this all points to me becoming king, then don’t you have any input? Should I aim for the throne? Since you don’t even have faith in me as it is? What do you want me to do?”

Nothing.

‘I need you, please… I have never begged anyone in my life, and I am now. I’m setting my pride aside and asking you for something. Give me anything.’

I close my eyes, feeling defeated.

‘No. It’s your duty as king that will ruin us… What I care for is our mate. Only her, and if I have to, I will destroy you. I don’t care about anything else.”

That stung. What have I done for him to hate me so much that he wants to kill me?

‘I care for her too; I will never let harm come to her… She has become my greatest possession to protect. Why are you so adamant I’d hurt her?’

Franco’s speaking, but I can’t focus when I’m getting the chance to talk to my Lycan.

‘Because you always do. You put the world before her… Every single time… and you fail, you fail her, you fail it all… you do what you need to for this corrupt planet. You will never choose her.”
