72. A Little Jealousy

EVANGELINE.

Isabella…

“Hi nice to meet you, Isa, I’m Evangeline.” I reply politely, taking her hand. She gives it a firm shake before turning to Zedkiel and Kash, who are quietly exchanging words.

“… too long. Make sure we’re covered.” Zed’s saying as he pulls off his shirt and takes another that Kash gives him. I can’t help but notice Isa watching him. Zed pulls the shirt on and sprays something over himself and within seconds his scent begins to fade away.

Kash nods passing him a moderate-sized backpack just as Isa puts some music on.

“Here’s the phone.” Kash says quietly.

I watch them hoping we aren’t caught, because if we are and with a phone… we can get into big trouble and get eliminated from the tournament.

“Is that wise?” I ask, glancing between them.

“No one is going to say a word. It’ll be fine.” Kash says.

He looks a little pale and I feel uneasy. I know Zedkiel trusts him, but does he also trust this Isabella? She’s looking at Zedkiel now, her head tilted and I try not to feel overprotective, refusing to act possessive, although my entire body is urging me to walk over to him and claim him as mine.

‘Do it. Look at how she’s watching him.” Evelyn hisses in my head.

“We might be misunderstanding, Zedkiel loves me. He married me. I have nothing to worry about.” I say firmly.

‘Keep thinking that, because when something happens, you will be the first to cry.’ She warns. “He will kill you, just like in that vision… Remember that.”

The unease within me is growing, and I try to squash it.
