His Dark Obsession novel Chapter 17

EVANGELINE.

A growl made my eyes fly open only to see Zedkiel down on one knee next to me, his eyes glowing red, his canines out as he glared at me with such rage and hunger that I felt my entire body tremble with fear.

What was going on?

It took me a few moments to realise it was night, I must have fallen asleep without realising. My stomach was aching from hunger, I had barely eaten in the last two days. The room was cold, and I realised my body ached from the awkward position I had fallen asleep in.

He grabbed my elbows, yanking me to my feet, and pulled me towards the bed.

Bile rose in my throat as I saw him look down at the shirt I was wearing, one I had taken after he had left. His eyes blazed as he tore it off, making me whimper in fear.

"I don’t want you hiding from me." He growled menacingly as I tried to cover myself once more.

Why did you do that? When you got angry at Celia for doing the very same thing?

It hurt.

"Tell me Little Omega, do I repulse you?"

I shook my head, despite how terrified I was, but I knew he had seen right through me. A cold, heartless smirk crossed his lips as he slammed me back onto the bed, his grip tightening.

"Lies." He hissed.

"My Prince." I whispered, the image of him ripping Odette’s heart out made my stomach churn, and the thick blanket of fear wrapped itself around me once again.

He was a monster… a monster that was now watching me as if I was his next meal. His hand wrapped tightly around my neck, and my breath hitched as I felt his claws dig into my neck as he straddled me, pushing my head back onto the bed.

"Don’t lie to me." He snarled viciously.

I nodded my head slowly, my eyes blurring with tears.

Would he take me by force or kill me?

"I-I’m scared… but… but you had many chances to kill me, but you haven't… You protected me today. I’m… I'm scared, but not like you th-think." I whispered, I was terrified, but my words weren’t a lie. He had protected me from Celia.

For a fleeting moment, his eyes returned to normal. His heart was racing as he stared down at me as if unsure whether to believe me or not. "Get away from me." He hissed through gritted teeth, his eyes dipping down to my breasts, as he ran his tongue over his plump lips.

My eyes widened in surprise at his words and as I observed him, I realised his entire body was tense and rigid.

Why did he want me to leave? Why was he allowing me to leave? Was it a trick?

He leaned closer, brushing his nose down my neck. "You smell so good, Little Mouse, and unless you want me to rip you to shreds… leave." He almost purred, making my lips quiver. My entire body felt strange, and I was very aware of his manhood pressed against my stomach. I felt… funny.

"Prince Zedkiel…" I slowly tugged at his hand that was strangling me, trying to get him to let go.
