His Dark Obsession novel Chapter 16

ZEDKIEL

Hours had passed and night had fallen, only then did I feel in control enough to return to the palace. Killing Odette wasn’t smart… I should have killed the bitch instead… My relationship with Alcazer was already strained, and this would have just made it far worse.

I returned to my room to see her curled up in the corner, her arms wrapped around herself, her face held dried tear stains and she was fast asleep. Like the rest, she feared me too… Perhaps I should just kill her too… Why was I even keeping her?

She wasn’t even ideal to warm my bed… incompetent and useless.

Turning away, I grabbed some clothes and went to shower, knowing my father wanted me at the family meeting he had called. It was funny how he was far too afraid to do anything to me.

Fool.

I showered and dressed quickly before taking a final glance at the woman on the floor.

Pathetic.

I left my room and headed to my father’s office. The few people I passed in the halls paled at the sight of me, it was obvious that the death of Odette had already become common knowledge. Reaching the Supreme Alpha's office, I pushed open the door, letting it hit the wall behind me and bounce off.

They were all here, all six of my brothers. Alcazer was sitting, with Chasyn standing behind him, a hand on the shoulder of the clearly distraught man. They all turned to me, but I didn’t care looking at the man standing behind the desk.

"Zedkiel, take a seat." Dad said seriously.

"Hm," I replied as Alcazer glared at me, I didn’t miss the way Chasyn’s hold on him tightened.

Smart.

I'm certain he didn’t want to join his mate because if he touched me, I wouldn’t mind ripping him to shreds too.

"What happened today should never have happened." Dad said, his voice tense and grave as he looked at me seriously. I almost smirked, not missing the glimmer of fear in his eyes.

This was our Alpha of Alphas.

"No, it shouldn’t have, and I demand justice, father!" Alcazer shouted.

I cocked a brow, "Your woman dared to disobey me, when I told her to step aside." I snarled, my eyes blazing red.

"Enough." Father’s strained voice came, and he sighed heavily. "What happened Zedkiel, for you to attack your own sister-in-law-"

"Attack father? He murdered her!" Ragnar thundered, interrupting him, slamming his fist into the wall.

The room was full of Alphas, yet none of their auras bothered me, even combined, I’d kill them all.

I have nothing to explain, I'm sure the bitch, who is sadly still alive, told you her version." I scoffed, taking a seat and placing my feet on Dad’s desk.

"She told us how your omega whore-" My eyes blazed, and in a flash, I was in front of Alcazer, but the twins blocked me.

"Calm down, Zedkiel." Drystan said quietly. "Alcazer, there’s always more than one version of the story."

"That woman is not to enter this castle, or I will kill her next," I growled sitting down again.
