His Dark Obsession novel Chapter 12

EVANGELINE.

He turned away from me and strode to the door. "Put some clothes on, your body is for my eyes only." He snarled, making me jump.

His? The thought alone terrified me. I felt naked under his burning gaze. "I-I don’t have any c-clothes…"

"Take something from the wardrobe." He growled before storming out of the bathroom.

"Yes, Alpha Prince," I replied, placing the cloth down and washing my hands quickly before I rushed from the room. He was already at the wardrobe and threw a shirt and sweatpants at me. "Thank you…"

"Change." He commanded, crossing his arms.

Was he planning to watch me? it seemed like it… luckily it wasn’t hard to get dressed like this. I quickly pulled the shirt over my head, flinching as pain rushed through my arm and back. I took a steady breath and put on the sweatpants, they were big, but I happily pulled them up to my waist and rolled them up. Only then did I remove my towel and place it to the side.

His frown deepened and I tried not to show my fear. "I-I’ll go get your breakfast, my prince." I said quietly, the more obedient I was the easier it would be to get away from that scorching gaze of his. Even if I was able to at least just move around the castle, that in itself would be plenty.

"Don’t try anything." Came his sinister voice, and I found myself nodding before I rushed from the room.

It suddenly felt like I could breathe again, and the urge to find the nearest exit nearly overtook me, but I knew I wouldn’t get far. I’d be dead before I even reached the castle gates… So instead, I made my way to the lower floor and towards the back of the castle hoping to find the kitchens.

"Oi what are you doing! State your business!" A guard shouted, making me freeze, he came over, his blue eyes watching me sharply.

I raised my hands in surrender. "The third prince sent me to get his breakfast," I stated clearly.

He relaxed a little looking me over. "You’re the Silver Mountain Pack Omega… You’re alive." He sounded far too shocked for my liking.

"I might not be for long if you don’t let me get to the kitchen." I found myself saying with a weak smile.

He grinned and nodded. "Oh, good point, come, I’ll take you there. You may want to go to the Head Omega for some clothes after." He added examining my attire.

"Do you think she can give me some?" I asked, very aware that I wasn’t wearing a bra.

He nodded as he led the way down the dark, cold hall. "Oh absolutely, all the omegas must wear the colour and uniform of their Alphas."

I nodded. That made sense… Usually, the Omegas back at the Welhaven manor wore a dark red, and grey pin on their clothes which would consist of simple colours yet with so many princes in one place it made sense for each to have their own colours. "What is the colour of Prince Zedkiel’s omegas?" I hoped it was something dull.

When he didn’t reply I turned to the kind man curiously. "Uh… I am not sure… He’s never had any omegas that have lasted the night."

I stopped dead in my tracks, my heart palpitating. "B-but… What about the staff who cl-clean his quarters?"

"They are not Omegas, it’s not very often that an Omega is able to stand in the presence of the Third Prince… or even…umm… Oh, the kitchens! Here! Off you go!" He looked far too relieved as he ushered me inside. Clearly not wanting to continue with this conversation.

At least he had been kind enough to guide me. "Thank you!" I called.

He paused, turning, and giving me a smile, but… it didn’t mask the pity in his eyes.
