The Symbol of a Ruler
EVANGELINE

Zedkiel is the king of vampires…

“Is that why you hate him and refused to show him the sign of our true king?”

“Don’t make assumptions… I was angry. The rage within me knowing that my mate was taken from me drove me to the brink of insanity. I cursed Evelyn because I was jealous that Zerachiel got to live… only I didn’t realise the Eternal G*d had cursed my daughters too…” He lowers his head, gazing into the rippling water.

My heart squeezes as I look at Raziel… even though he had simply wanted his love, in his he had cast a curse upon his own child.

rage,

“Zedkiel has drank from you… for his and this kingdom’s future, you must make sure nothing happens to you like every other time… because when Selene created a protector for her daughters… she gave him powers to rival my own.” He warns me.

“Zedkiel will be fine… even if something does happen to me.” But even as the words leave my lips, I don’t believe my own words.

“Will he? You wanted my truth, then take it and heed

My stomach twists and I clench my fists. I have seen Zedkiel’s rage, how he killed Odette without even the blink of an eye… without me here-

‘See, I told you you’ll go back on your words!’ Evelyn snarls.

Luna growls, pushing her to the back of my mind.

I look at Raziel. “Is there a way to break the curse you created?” I ask quietly.

A low growl leaves him, and he raises his head, his burning eyes now upon me. I can feel that heated gaze, feel it burn through me.

“I cannot say… but you hold the answers already… look within… this is the start of your path…”

I frown, knowing he’s trying to tell me more, but it’s obvious he can’t.

What is he trying to say?

Think Evangeline, think!

I close my eyes, furrowing my brow as I try to think of everything we know.

The Oracle’s voice rings in my head, making my heart thump.

‘Go back to where it all began.’

This is where it began…
