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
Eira’s POVI looked at her totally unprepared for the guessing game. “How about you just tell me?” I really can't guess anything, ” I mumbled, since I couldn't come up with anything that could make her so excited.“I can't say it. What's the fun in that.” she let out, pouting her mouth. “Oh wait- Amber, you guys should go and make some refreshments for Eira, I'm sure she hasn't eaten yet.” Selene told her maidsI knew that it was just an excuse but I was still surprised at how she figured out that I haven't eaten yet.“How do you know that I haven’t eaten?”I asked her immediately after Amber and Bianca left and she chuckled.“Because you love the meat Amber makes of course,” she answered and I nodded. Well, she was right about that.“Should I just ask Amber to teach Thana the recipe? It will be hard on Amber to make food for me everyday, don’t you think?” I said to Selene and she just waved it off.“I don’t think so, she loves cooking so much,” she answered and I decided to let it g
Eira’s POV“Why?” the vampire King and I asked simultaneously while Selene looked like she was planning on how to make her brother refuse.“My sister's death anniversary is near and I have to go and go back for a while,” Dolphus answered.“Isabella’s death anniversary is near? I didn't know,” I let out, squeezing his hand in sympathy.“Yea, that's why I have to go.” “I’m tired, I think we should go back to the courtyard, ” I muttered after a while and the vampire King nodded.“Selene, I'm leaving,” I said again when I saw that her attention wasn't there.“Uh? Oh alright. See you tomorrow, ” Selene replied, after a few minutes like I interrupted her thoughts.When we got to the courtyard, I couldn’t help but feel like Dolphus hadn’t said everything at the picnic. Why? Because from the rose garden till they got to the courtyard, they didn’t exchange a word.“Dolphus, is there something wrong?” Eira asked and Dolphus nodded.“I have to go back to Deepwater for a while,” he replied and
Eira’s POVI looked at him, bewildered by his question.“Why will I be worried, if you really like her? I will support you,” Dolphus scoffed, looking away from me. “Why are you scoffing? Did I say something wrong?” I asked him and he shook his head.“No, I’m going to bed. The day was stressful,” he replied and walked to his room. Leaving me standing in the sitting room.What’s with that attitude? Did I say something wrong? He didn’t even say what he always goes out to do. What will I tell Selene tomorrow? Well, at least, I know that it wasn’t a girl he’s always going out to see. So I can tell that to Selene.After a while, I left for bed since there wasn’t anything to do. Thinking about the picnic tomorrow, I didn't know when sleep engulfed me.I didn't wake up till I heard the cockerels' loud crows squeaking in my ears. Dragging myself up the bed, I went to freshen myself up and later went to check on Dolphus but as usual, he had already gone out.“I’m going to the Princess’s Pal
Eira’s POV“Eira..” She looked at me with an aggrieved expression. Like she was heartbroken because she thought I should already know about it.“You need to let me know your feelings, I can’t see your heart.”Fortunately, Selene thought the same and she nodded after a while. “ Yes, I like him. But I don’t know if he will like me too,”I didn’t dare tell her that she wasn’t the only one that likes Dolphus and he had harshly rejected the other girl without even giving her a chance. But I still had to let her know that it might be a one-sided crush. “Selene, Dolphus isn’t really here for romance. He came here to find the treatment for his best friend, he might not entertain any romantic relationship ” I told her as gently as I can.Selene looked away and frowned. “I know. I’m telling you since you said you can’t see my heart. Besides, I'll make him interested in me,” she vowed.I smile at her, happy that she didn’t underestimate herself because of her sightlessness. “Good girl, go for
Eira’s POV“Dolphus, I can't believe you greeted that demon that way!” I countered, immediately after the vampire King was out of hearing.“What should I have said? His Majesty? I’m the Grand Gamma of the whole werewolf Packs. If you as a healer can’t call him that, do you think I should?” He tossed at me and I nodded. He was actually right.No matter what, we should be loyal to our King and not another King.“Are you feeling good? Do you feel pain anywhere?” I asked him and he shook his head.“No, I think they are healing up,” “It’s the medicine that Esme fed you yesterday when you were having a fever,” I told him and he just nodded at me. “You didn’t act strange to her, right?” I asked, raising my eyes at him suspiciously.“I went to bed immediately you left,” he replied as if telling me that I was thinking much about it.“That’s good then. I will be going now,” I muttered, standing up from his bedside.“Is it painful?” He asked and I looked at him unaware of what he was talking
Eira’s POVThe first step of Selene's surgery took a while. Her orbs were too dusty and it was hard to find the main cause of the whole issue but because I had given her a sleep-inducing drug, I was able to take my time. The plant that the vampire King and I had to go pick at the mountain too also came in handy even though I had mixed it with others. It pushed out the Legendary snakes’ toxins, and I was able to see where the problem lies.After a few hours, I rested in the chair beside me, Totally exhausted. Even Esme was tired since she was my help and she was going about during the whole surgery. This was also her first surgical experience.“Are you okay?” I asked, but my voice came out breathlessly.“I’m fine, you are the one that did the whole work,” She answered, standing up.“Where are you going? I asked her because I can’t even stand at the moment.“To get you a cup of water,” She replied and I smiled at her. Awwn, it’s really nice to have a disciple.“Alright, just ask Amber
Eira’s POVEarly the next morning, I went to check on Dolphus and saw that he was still deeply asleep. Esme was resting her head on his bed side. It looked like she had just slept after feeding him the drugs since the spoon she used to feed him the medicinal juice was still in her hands.I went close to her and took the spoon from her and gently woke her up.“Esme, Esme,” I whispered so I wouldn’t wake Dolphus up because he needed so much sleep to recover as soon as possible.“Miraculous healer,” she called out, rubbing sleep off her eyes but her eyes still looked dizzy.“You should go and rest. It's morning already,” She nodded. “He had a fever overnight. But I think it has cooled down a bit after giving him this medicine you gave me,” I had reckoned that he would have a fever overnight. Considering how he hadn't woken up until I gave him my blood.“Alright, we should let him sleep for a while. I will check on him when I get back from Selene’s palace. You should inform Thana to mak
Eira’s POV“Is he really okay? He's still not opening his eyes,” Esme’s voice sounded worried and sick, looking at Dolphus. “Can you go out for a while?” I asked Esme and she nodded after taking several glances at Dolphus who was still unconscious.“Don’t worry, he will be fine.” I assured and she nodded again,“I trust you, Miraculous healer, please make he gets better,” When she felt, I touched Dolphus's acupoints to check if the medicine had taken effect. It has but it was still slow. With this pace, he might stay unconscious for several days. No, I can't let that happen. I shook my head and quickly prickled my thumb with my medical needle then moved it close to his mouth for him to suck on. This was the second time I will be feeding him my blood. The fight time was when we were thrown inside the Silver cell and he had also lost so much blood due to Cullen’s verbal attack. That day too he had so many claw marks all over his body.In this journey, he is the one who suffered the
Eira’s POVWhen I heard the guards' words, I began to think about too many things.“What is it? Is something wrong with the vampire King?” I asked the guard, trying to figure out if the vampire King knew about the outing or not so I would know how to prepare to face him. “Uh?” the guard replied, looking at me as if I was the person who something was wrong with but I didn't mind repeating my questions again..“I said is there —”“I heard you. Why would you even think there’s something wrong with His Majesty?” The guard countered, interrupting my voice.“Since you heard, just answer. What are you trying to say?” I frowned at him.He was talking longer than expected, just tell me what I wanted to know. I almost screamed at him when I saw that we were almost at the vampire King’s attendance room.“There’s nothing wrong with the vampire King,” he eventually replied but I was still curious. “So? Why did he ask to see me?” I threw a question at him. “Don’t you think you should brief me ab
