His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

67. Laying Out Plans

ZEDKIEL.

“Evelyn…” She’s getting closer and I stare

into her eyes, hoping somehow Evangeline

can see me.

Fight it Little Mouse…

“The matches will start soon. I need to

prepare.”

I remove her arms from around me, only to feel her anger flare up.

“There’s nothing to prepare. Do I disgust you?”

“I’m not doing this right now.” I say firmly.

“Then when! When she regains control! I know you want me gone!” She hisses and I feel the darkness wrap around her.

I turn sharply, my eyes flashing as I feel Zerachiel’s own rage rising. “Do not test me,

Evelyn.” I snarl.

“You are meant for me too! We were both

mated to Zerachiel – to you! Yet each time he chooses her and you… you just want me dead!”

Guess that façade is over.

I look at her coldly. “You killed the Oracle, correct? You killed the village and Evangeline’s family, correct?” I snarl, grabbing her by her neck.

She glares at me with anger and rage.

“I did what I needed to!” She hisses. ”

Evangeline is weak. I can be the queen you deserve!”

“Evangeline is the only one who will be my queen.” I sneer, slamming her against the wall.

Remember, she’s Evangeline…

I clench my jaw, wishing things weren’t so complicated.

“We will always be one, you want her, then

you have to have me… kill me, kill her… we can keep doing this, every lifetime Zerachiel

every time… Let’s fall in love… let’s rip each other’s hearts out…. And like every rebirth… you will kill me… saving this planet over Evangeline… Does she really believe you are her hero?! You are nothing but a killer!”

“Evangeline.” I say clearly, trying to control

the anger that swirls inside of me. Her words are hitting a nerve. “Fight her, you are stronger, this is your body… Take control, I want you.”

Who knows if my words will reach her, but I had to try. She lets out a menacing growl and I’m slammed against the far wall of the bedroom, the black whips of her power slashing long gashes across my chest.

Fuck, she’s powerful.

My eyes flash, and Zerachiel’s rage burns around me like an inferno. “Stop!” He

thunders and she hesitates. Stopping mid- step as he takes control.

“Zerachiel…” Her eyes are conflicted once

more.
