Continuation from His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse to

His Fated Obsession (Book 2) Chapter 49- Freeing a Queen

ZEDKIEL.

The man before me is nothing like how I pictured. He has brown hair with a few stray grey strands. He has bright blue hooded eyes, and he’s wearing a suit. There’s no emotion from him. I can’t tell if he’ s angry or not.

I’m not sure if my appearance has shaken him or not.

It’s almost as if he’s bored or tired and doesn’t want to have to deal with me. He’s not even surprised or pretending not to be, anyway.

“You wanted me, right? I’m here.” I state coldly, my eyes burning red.

His gaze dips to the swords in my hands, but he says nothing.

“Yes, but I did think you were already dead… that is what Ziahra declared. Lies are punishable by death.” He sneers.

“Oh yeah? Well, you don’t seem surprised to see me … you knew I wasn’t dead, as for who will be punished. I’ll be the one deciding that.” I remark coldly.

I keep my eyes on him, but I’m aware of how many vampires are surrounding me. He may not give a signal openly to them as he has the link to them, and that’s even more reason to keep an eye on them and him. I can’t take any risks…

“Of course, it was a fool’s mistake on my behalf to allow her to be the one to lead this mission… Yet, if you were the real heir… I would welcome you open- armed, but we know you are not.” His eyes blaze red as he stares at me.

I hold his gaze and I think I see a glint of emotion in his eyes, but I’m not certain.

“Oh? Think what you want, Vadam Exodus, but I am the rightful king. If I wasn’t… would I be able to defeat you in battle? Let’s duel and get the answer to that.” I say.

Evangeline is out there, and every minute wasted here is risking her safety. I know she’s powerful, heck she’s a goddess, but she’s still my responsibility to protect.

Vadam smiles humourlessly. “A duel? You are a no one, not the true king, not the true heir, so why would I duel you?” He says icily.

I c*oc*k my brow. “Oh yeah? Then killing me should be an easy feat for you, should it not?” I say coldly. “ Fight me.” “Take him away!” Vadam commands, raising his hand.

“Stand down.” I growl, pouring everything I have into my command. The Alpha command did not work on Vampires, yet surely there was some authority in me as a vampire.

I’ve seen Ziahra command her men. She held power over them.

The men hesitate, some don’t move, a few step forward at Vadam’s command, and others hesitate when they realise their comrades did not move.

“Kill him!” Vadam thunders, and several men jump into action.

“I’m not here to kill my people nor to cause a scene. You are my only target. Step down from your position or I will not hold back.” I snarl.
