His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse

21. Ziahra’s Condition

ZEDKIEL

I refuse to believe this.

My heart is thundering and even Zerachiel is at a loss.

“Fuck you, Ziahra!” Kash growls, pushing her hand off him. She smiles, grabbing his jaw painfully, clearly not getting the fucking hint.

“Now, now, let’s not get that tongue dirty.” She whispers, slipping a finger into his mouth.

I’m getting fucking sick watching this, because he has the chance to bite her fucking finger off and he hasn’t.

‘Kash, kill her!’ I snarl through the link.

A flash of guilt flickers through his eyes, as they blaze brightly, but Ziahra doesn’t move her finger as if knowing he won’t kill her…

He wouldn’t betray me, not him.

I’m done with this!

‘We need to kill her Zed!’ Jeremiah’s sharp voice comes through the mind link.

I’m about to get to my feet when I suddenly sense the darkness spreading from Evelyn.

“How dare you!” Evelyn snarls, her eyes trained on Ziahra.

Ziahra’s eyes turn upon her, then in a flash, she’s suddenly behind Kash, holding a long blade to his neck.

“Stand down or he dies!” She warns dangerously

‘On your signal, Zedkiel, one loss is something we can deal with! Ragnar’s voice comes through the link.

I look at Kash who’s watching Evelyn, and I just want to fucking know what’s going on.

“Stand down!” Ziahra hisses.

“I don’t really care if he dies.” Evelyn snarls back, darkness spreads from her rushing towards the vampires.

Ziahra pulls Kash back, jerking her head.

Her braids whip across her face as a powerful blast pushes us back, only Evelyn remains in her spot.

“No, wait!” I growl.

“Do it! Kill me!” Kash snarls. ‘I’m dying anyway, save yourselves!” He adds, his eyes finally meeting mine.

‘He’s a traitor! How dare he try to act noble now!’ Zerachiel snarls.

“Get them!” Ziahra growls, the vampires lunge at my own men, there are far too many…

I’m trying to fucking make sense of it all, and I look back at Kash.

‘Tell me you didn’t betray me and I will believe it.’ I say quietly.

He simply smirks slightly. “I did.”

I almost scoff as the truth washes over me like a soothing wave, despite the clash of the vampires and werewolves around me.
