76. Foreboding

EVANGELINE.

He knotted me. 1

We were both so caught up last night that neither of us realised until we had come down from our high, both far too consumed by the other’s confession… but when we had realised, it wasn’t I who had held fear in their eyes. It was him.

“I’m sorry… f*ck, those words aren’t going to make this all ok… I never should have lost control…” The regret in them, the fear that something will happen to me, I heard the violent thudding of his heart.

His words replay in my mind, the memory of how worried he had been, and I had been adamant for him not to regret even a minute of the precious moments we had shared.

I smile softly.

Somehow, I knew I could take it. Maybe when I was just Evangeline, the useless wolf-less omega, I feared that it would cost me my life… but I knew it would do nothing to me, save maybe getting me pregnant.

The thought makes my stomach flutter and I place my hand on my stomach. With everything going on, that in itself is a terrifying thought…

But I don’t regret what happened. We became one, fully… the only thing left was for us to mark one. another.

I can feel the light and warmth of the winter morning sun bask upon my skin, and I slowly open my eyes. Zedkiel’s fast asleep, his arms around me. We’re both naked, but at some point, he’s wiped me down. Most of the blood is gone and despite the sex, I feel pretty much ok. Just a dull ache remains.

Last night was different, so special…

I look over at him, smiling softly and reminiscing about our story… somehow from fearing him and trying to run from him, we ended up falling for one another. Even in this situation with everything going on, wel found love.

I turn towards him slightly, and his eyes open, instantly finding me. He runs his fingers through my hair, kissing my forehead softly.

“Morning.” He murmurs, his voice deeper than usual, thick from sleep.

“Good morning.” I reply softly, as I reach up and kiss his lips.

“How are you feeling?” He asks.

I nod, “Great.”

“Good…” There’s something more he wants to say, but refrains as he kisses me softly before he gets out of bed. “I’ll run us a bath.”

I blush as he walks in all his glory towards the bathroom. Have I ever mentioned how s*xy his butt is?

He stops at the door, smirking at me for a second before he disappears inside.

I roll onto my stomach, blushing as I curl up, clutching the bedding to me.

I love him.

It’s a while later and we are outside, the entire castle is covered in a heavy blanket of snow. Last night,

whilst we slept, nature was busy painting its canvas pure white. I love snow, I always have… and although I know it was snowing when I was found… it never triggered me since I don’t remember any of it save the flashes I have had here and there.
