Eira’s POVI sincerely didn't want to hear it from the maids or the guards in the Palace because I knew that the incident must be a very heart breaking one for Selene. I want her to slowly let go of her demons because that's the only way she can overcome her social phobia.“I will tell you some other times, okay?” She replied after a while and I voiced my reply for her. I told her she could tell me anytime she feels comfortable and I wasn't in a rush.“I think the food already got cold, ” Selene said, indicating the meat that the maids brought when Dolphus left and my stomach started gurgling. That was when I noticed that I haven't eaten anything since I woke up and I was caught up with everything that I had forgotten to eat.I looked at the meat on the stools and checked if it was still warm but it wasn't. “Should they bring another?” Selene asked, after seeing that I didn't answer for a while.“I think I will just eat it like this, ” I answered and took a bite from the meat but I c
Eira’s POVWhat else is the Atelum plant used for if not the Atelum curse? Does it have another use?I blinked at the Vampire King, totally unaware of whatever he was saying because I've always known that the Atelum plant was for the Atelum curse. “Does it have any other use?” I asked him, but he ignored me and continued looking at me as if I didn't utter a word.“When will you start treating my sister,” the Vampire King asked, and I blinked at him again. Is that the question that I asked him? “As soon as possible,” I replied in a grim voice.Two can at this game, if he didn't want to answer me then I also wouldn't give him a definite answer.“When is “as soon as possible?” “Uhm, I really can't say because I'm still getting close to her, so I can't say for now.” I replied when I saw that my actions were already annoying the Vampire King.“Okay, then. After you successfully treated my sister, I will tell you my other request before I give you the Atelum plant,” he asserted slowly.I
Eira’s POV“Me? Protect a Vampire princess? Did you know how many enemies the Vampire King would have? Most of them might even be waiting for her to just take a step out of the Palace and then execute her, ” Dolphus argued and I suddenly felt a headache pooling in my temple.Why did I feel like Dolphus is thinking too much about it?“Can’t you just discard that thought?” Dolphus asked but I shook my head. “Of course not, I can't, ” I quickly answered.“So how did you intend to go about it?” “Well, if Selene agrees, we will just disguise ourselves as males and leave. What could possibly happen?” I let out after a while and Dolphus stared at me in shock.“Think about this very well, Eira, you can't be willful here. This is not your Pack and we don't know anyone here.” Dolphus advised and I nodded.“Don’t worry, I will think about it again and I also won't do it if Selene is not interested. It's all for her own good,”Dolphus sighed heavily. “When did she grow on you so much that you w
Reagan's POV“Amoux, do you think Dolphus and Eira are safe in the monsters’ land?” I asked, for the millionth time since they left and I was sure that even Amoux was already tired of my constant nagging.“Reagan, how about we send someone to check? It won't be totally bad if Eira knows that you actually care about her, ” Amoux answered, implying again that I care about the healer.When she left, I had thought that it was just some silly attraction that would wane with time but I've missed her so terribly that I don't know what to do other than asking Amoux repeatedly whether they are okay.I don't know why I felt agitated and also they went to the monsters’ land, not just anywhere.“I'm asking because of Dolphus, not Eira, ” I denied as I had been doing and Amoux rolled his eyes at me.The past Full Moons weren't as horrible as it has always been, and in those times even though I had quarantined myself because of the illness and pain, It wasn't as extreme as it has always been. Which
Reagan's POVNo matter what he says, this bitch still has to go. She should be glad that I didn't have her killed immediately and that was because I was thinking about the probability that she might be carrying my pup.“Eira left her sister in our care to look for the Atelum plant for you, you can't just exile her sister when she's away, ” Amoux interjected, making me recall how terrible yesterday's action was.Yes, while Eira was risking her life for me in the monsters’ Kingdom I was here fucking her younger sister. I've never felt ashamed and apologetic all my life.I looked at Carla and saw that her face was filled with tears, but I couldn't bring myself to feel any sympathy for her. “At least, wait till we confirm that she's not pregnant with your offspring. Then you can decide what to do with her, ” Amoux said again.“I don't want to see her, put her in the dungeon or something, I don't want to see her roaming in her fucking house before then.” I declared, and Amoux lifted her f
Eira’s POV“Of course, what did you want to discuss with me?” Selene asked me, looking up at me all serious.I instantly became tongue-tied, now that I’m facing her, I didn’t know how to tell her that about the idea I had confidently told Dolphus last night.“Selene, would you like to go out of the Palace?” I asked, focusing my attention on her. I watched as she gently removed her hands from her mine and knotted them in her laps.“You don’t have to, you can refuse if you want to,” I immediately added when I saw that my words made her uncomfortable. I wouldn’t ever do what will make her sad or comfortable because of my own personal ideas. She’s my patient and I’m after her well-being, but if she’s not interested, there’s nothing much I could do about it.“Eira, I don’t know.” She finally let out, I could see tears slowly coming out of her eyes. “What is it, Selene, you know you can tell me why you don’t want to go out,” I told her, bringing her soft hands again into my small ones. Ge
Eira’s POV“We already got to the courtyard, right?” Selene asked, and I replied.“Yes, we just got here,”“I know, I always came here as a child. This courtyard was the Queen’s favorite spot. She said the energy here is different from any other place in the Palace, ” Selene announced, glancing around as if she could see the courtyard. But I guessed she was reminiscing and looking at the place as she had seen it before.“When was the last time you came here before you lost your sight?” I asked, supporting her to the pavilion.After we were finally seated, she replied. “I don't come here often. After my parents died, this courtyard became my least favorite place. It's been more than a decade since I've been here, ” “A decade?!” “Yes, my parents died 11 years ago. My brother was enthroned right after their death.” She answered, and I couldn't help but ask her the pending question in my mind.“How old was the Vampire King when he was enthroned?” I asked, trying not to seem curious.“He
Eira’s POVI’ve thought about it for a while, but I couldn’t seem to come up with a reasonable answer, so I was left with no choice than to ask her.Damn, my curious mind.“Because I already promised to come with us before I know that you are staying here,” she answered, but I could see in her eyes that she wasn’t keeping something.“Is that all?” I asked and she nodded.“Of course, could there be any other reason?” She replied and I became mute. Well, I also couldn’t think of any other reason that would have made her come here when she clearly knew that it was the Sapphire courtyard, and it was once her mother’s favorite place.“No, I don’t think so,” I replied after a while and she flashed me a huge smile.“Did you know any fun places around here? I haven’t been able to tour the courtyard,” I asked her and she instantly nodded.“Of course, I do but…” she became silent after excitedly answering my question and I immediately understood that it had to do with her sight.“Did you still
