Eira’s POVIt’s been a week since the misunderstanding between Dolphus and I, and also Celeste’s death. Dolphus had been trying his best to talk to me but I was the one avoiding him now.Before he wakes up, I would have went out of the palace to get some plants for Selene’s treatment and then after that I will lock myself in my room. Buying myself by making tonics for Selene’s treatment..Anytime I was less busy, I always spent my free time with Selene because I knew that Dolphus would never come to Selene’s palace. After Celeste’s death and my other maids were imprisoned, Esme and Thana, who were the only maids I have at the moment proved to be reliable and consistent and I’ve never had a complaint about them. Especially Esme, she had shown interest in my healer work so anytime I’m making Selene’s medicine, I always invite her to see how it’s made.“Miraculous healer, Mr. Dolphus is waiting outside your room again. No matter what Thana said to him, he wouldn’t leave,” Esme said to m
Eira’s POVWhat is he doing here? I asked myself, shocked at his presence.He must have noticed my appearance because he looked up at him and flashed his evil half-smirk.“Are you going to stand there all day?”I instantly blinked at his remark and dragged myself to where he was seated with Selene.“Is that you, Eira? Come closer and hold my hands,” Selene asserted happily and I looked at her with a smile.“It’s me, I’m here,” I rushed to hold her outstretched hands.Because of the Vampire King's unexpected presence, I couldn’t help but feel nervous and slightly uncomfortable, but I still try to put on a smile even though Selene can’t see it.“You’ve been busy, right? My brother has been here waiting for you, ” Selene let out and I threw a glance at the Vampire King.He is here for me? He didn't even look like someone that had been waiting. He looked so relaxed in his element. His raven Royal robe which had some chilly character added to it, summing up his magnificent aura.And even
Eira’s POVI don't know whether to lie that Dolphus had agreed to come, or just tell the truth because the last night I asked him, he had told me to discard the idea. Now I’m scared that if I told Selene that, she might not even want to rethink going out of the Palace.“Uhmm.. He had agreed earlier, but you know we had a fight. I don't know about his decision for now but when I get back, I will ask him again and give you a response tomorrow. What do you think about that?” I answered, saying half truth and half lie.Well, the lie won't matter if I managed to persuade Dolphus to go with us and that's going to be my top priority when I get back to the courtyard.I will ask him to go with us. Maybe even coerce him a little bit.“Oh, that's okay. Make sure you tell me his decisions tomorrow, you know by next tomorrow you are going to the mountains and we won't see until a few hours, ” Selene mumbled. That's when I remembered the questions that had been on my mind since.“Until few hours,
Eira’s POV“Uhn?” I pretended not to hear him but this time, he repeated the questions again. Making me more suspicious.“I take some medicine, it cools down the urge, ” I answered since I figured that he wouldn't let go until I answered him.“Oh, alright. Since when have you been taking the medicine then?” He inquired and I looked at him again in shock.Is he interested in that too? What has come over Dolphus tonight? He seems extremely curious and strange. First the weird gaze, then him asking me if I have feelings for the Alpha King and now he's interested in how I cope with the heat and how long I've been taking medicine for it.“Why?” I asked, and he scowled at me.“Why what?” “Why are you so interested about it? Doesn't seem like you to be so interested in something like this, ” I answered, “I just feel like asking, we don't have much to talk about anyway, so..” Well, that comes out as a good excuse. “Since the first day I shifted, it collided with the second full moon. Tha
Eira’s POV“What is it? Why are you shaking?” The Vampire asked and I quickly shook my head. “Nothing, there's nothing. Can we just teleport already?” I beseeched, expecting him to pay attention to the urgency in my voice, but he just furrowed his brows.“What needs your immediate attention aside from getting the medicinal plants?” He in a cold voice and I shivered.Selene, yes! I have to use Selene as an excuse. He will definitely listen.“Selene and I have some things to do, so I have to return early, ” I let out but he only frowned deeper.“Are you taking me for a fool? Selene already said you guys don’t anything to do? Why are you lying?” His voice stiffened and this time I actually shivered in fear.Damn Selene! Why must she tell her older brother everything!Now, there's nothing I can say to convince him.“Dolphus… Dolphus and I had some things to do, we planned to—”“—Shut up, else.. You might not be able to continue that sentence, ” The Vampire King bellowed and I almost fell
Eira’s POVThe words didn't leave my mouth when I felt the temperature in the room drop down and everywhere became chilly.Everyone immediately looked up to where the potent aura and power was coming from. They centered their attention on the Vampire King then me.Even the restaurant attendants, who weren't sparing us a glance before now started shaking as they moved closer to us. “How...How. How can we help you?” They all asked, standing in front of the Vampire King with their shaky limbs, they could barely stand straight and they weren't the only ones.The customers in presence were still shivering at the chilling atmosphere. I noticed that the Vampire King hadn't withdrawn his powers yet.Is he showing off or what? I scoffed at the thought. My teeth were shivering and he didn't even bother about me.I know I was the one that wants to eat and bed doing this for me but he should at least take my health into consideration.If my teeth broke off from the chattering, what would I use
Eira’s POVNo matter how much she cried and pleaded, no one answered her, they were just staring at her.“Why don't you just take her to the clinic, ” an old man said with a scoff and I frowned immediately.Obviously, it's because she can't afford it. Can't they tell from how she's dressed? Or maybe the clinic even refused to help her.“I will help you, ” I heard a young man say from the crowd.I couldn't help but turn to look at him. He's a vampire but he looked gentle, unlike the vampires I had come in contact with.Maybe it was because he's a healer.I was about to move closer to the scene when I heard the Vampire king's cold voice.“She already found help, let's go, ” I shook my head. “I can't just leave. I have to know what happened to the child, ” “Why?” “Because I'm a healer, ” I answered and he frowned at me.I guess that's the difference between him and the Alpha King. Compassion.The Alpha King will never watch his Pack member dying before him without doing anything abou
Eira’s POVWhat is it? Is the boy in danger? I felt worried and I quickly rushed to meet up with him while dragging my injured ankle.“What happened to your leg?” He asked, when he saw me limping.“It's fine, I will treat it later, ” I dismissed and asked him the question pending in my mind. “The boy? How is he?” He shook his head.“What happened?” I was alarmed. “He didn't make it,” he muttered and I looked at him shocked.“What?” I retorted and started dragging my injured leg to the abandoned store. I only took a few steps when I felt a hand wrapped around me. In a split of seconds we were in front of the abandoned store.I looked beside me and saw that the hand belonged to the Vampire King but I couldn't process what happened. I quickly went inside to see the woman wailing and mourning.“My boy, my boy. Ahhh, ” she cried and held the boy in her arms, wailing sorrowfully.“Let me check him, please.” I moved closer to the woman and gently untangled her from the boy. Putting him
