When Eve opens her eyes, she noticed that she was lying on a soft ground. She turns to see a thick fur surrounding her naked body. She felt warmth coming from the fire pit beside her. A movement from outside the cave made her alert and her hand raised, ready to attack. She stops when it was only Khalid and sob wrecked her chest seeing him alive.
She rose from her make shift bed and jumps on him. She didn’t care that she was unclothed. She needed his warmth. After all, that she has gone through, she felt a deep relief seeing Khalid, her only remaining friend all well and alive.
“Khalid, thank the Gods you are alive. I thought you were dead. I though they had killed you too.” Eve’s tears drips on his shoulder. Khalid wrapped his arm around her body and stroked her back.
“No more tears, my queen. It’s all over. You are safe now.” He whispered gently into her ears. Eve continues to cry. Pain weave through every word like a string.
“They’re all gone, n
Weeks gone by and after wallowing in her loss, Eve decided to pay Adam a visit. Knowing both Kristopher and Khalid would stop her from leaving, she sneaked out from the cottage and travels to Dzhimara without anyone’s knowledge. It took her hours to reach to Dzhimaar, a shorter time than she had before. From the scroll Abenore had kept, Eve now have zero worries of entering Dzhimara. Everyone around the guards booth was enchanted by Eve’s beauty. All eyes was fixed on her that they didn’t notice a few kids sneaking in and out.Compare to last time, Eve now sat inside her fancy horse carriage, oozing with so much class and elegance for it was decorated with fine jewels planted on every edges of the carriage, finely painted in white and gold, filled with intricate carvings around its doors, everyone around her was in awe.Once entering, Eve proceeds to travel to Karza castle but she was told that the castle was closed after the war. The silver castle was covere
“Are you out of your mind, Eve? They are wolves! Pure-blooded wolves! They are our enemies!” Khalid scolded her. Eve stand outside of the door where the boy sleeps peacefully with his little sister in his arms. “They are just children, Khalid. They know nothing.”“Nothing? Those animals, they were children too. Romanov, you met him as a child, didn’t you? What happen to him after that? He betrayed you. He is the reason why you, me Abenore and Louisa is the only Khiones left! You should have left those two died in the streets! You are taking a huge risk letting them into our lives.”Eve shift her head to Adam but it wasn’t anger that swoon her face. Sadness and grief overwhelms her. Taking over her emotion and making her on the verge of tears. Her voice was faint but Khalid listen to every words and his sad tone causes his breath tightens.“When I see those children, all I can think about was my baby. My child that was taken from me.”Khalid angry featur
The vision around them paused and out of nowhere, their surroundings melted like hot candles. It made everyone worried seeing the ground beneath them rumbled. Everyone woke up, gasping and in full panic mode. Their chest heaving hard, causing Abram to rush towards Ariadne who was crying her eyes out. Tears stained their cheeks after all the emotions pent up in their floating state rushed through them like lightning.
Ambrose sat beside the pool at Sviatoslavich mansion. He wanted to return home but his heart ache seeing Eve. He felt weak and didn’t know how to react. He had seen the most fragile part of her existence. Every little thing that had happen to her was exposed to him and I made him weak. He knows he shouldn’t feel that way but how can he? Eve had loved him and his sister from day one. She didn’t care about his blood, she never even care about his origin.When he felt a hand resting on top of his shoulder, he sagged, “We shouldn’t even be here, Ari. We were wrong to fill our curiosity and worked with them. They’ve done her wrong. We are betraying her right now.”Ariadne sat down beside him. “I just spoke with Abram again and..”“No, Ari I don’t want to listen anything that got t do with him.”“Ambrose, please. Just hear me out. I know you’re upset about everything. I am too. I love mama with all my heart and seeing what she went through kills me. No one de
Everyone was gathering in the living room and they all were packed with a gloomy face. The room was silent with everyone still having a hard time to absorb the reality of what had happen to them earlier in Eve’s memories. Ariadne sat beside Ambrose who still looks dejected and Adam who had a blank face on display. Kristopher shook his head seeing how such tension fill the room so he made small cough to get their attention.“I know we are still in shock with what had happen...&rdqu
The throbbing in her head causes her to wake up with a groan. Her eyes were blinded by the orange sunset cutting through the window curtain. She felt wrapping around her wrist and frown at the blood, staining on the white wrap. She looks aroundher and finally realised that she has just woken up in her room. When she sat up from her bed, she sees a small pail fill with pink water beside the bed. A familiar scent fills her nostril.Eve push herself to sit on the edge of the bed. Her
Eve. Finally, no more is she Zara Rose Petrova. The girl whose name she had adopt as her own who had treated her like a family. The daughter of her best friend who had died in the arms of her brother. She is Eve Carissa Zhatiera. The sole heir of Zhatier, daughter of the Great King Aidan and Queen Aaliyah, direct descendant of the Goddess Khione. Now, she stands on the top of her grand staircase looking down all seven of the people at the lower floor with a few who was supposed to be her trusted companion that seems to be ganging up on her with her enemies.Eve can feel her body throbbing and seething with anger that is coursing down her veins and travel around her body in a loop. Going through th
In her mind, Eve felt her body floating in the waters with her back laying on the surface of the dark water, not a stich of clothing in sight. Her hands were covering her breast in position and her legs was closed, lying on top of each other. Eve was staring at the dark sky, not a single light, not even one stars was present. Within that darkness, she could still see where she was ta that moment. She sees the trees around her and the familiar hills filled with flowers as black as night. She was here. The secret meadow. Alone, again.Her eyes slowly move around to see her surroundings but she felt so tired so she close it. He wanted to sleep. Then, she felt a voice calling out to her so she opens her eye
Six months passed It took months to rebuild Dzhimara. The number of death recorded was devastating but the number of enemies they have taken down was more. The seal around the gate was built up once more and the teamwork among the forest witch ensured the gate will remain strong for years to come. Homes were rebuilding from scratch but as the new king of Dzhimara, Abram made sure that all his citizens, even the humans, and the witches are fully helped. They are his responsibilities now. Thinking back to the war before, he had lost so much, his patriarch and his mate too lost their dear ones. Everyone thought that in time, they would heal but till today, the pain of losing his father remains strong. His mother no longer resides in the dungeon. For her crimes against the former nation of Zhateria, she was banished to the forest of Afhrin. Many had questioned whether allowing her to keep her wolf was a wise idea but seeing her mother's state, finding out she too has
Adam crawls towards Eve with his remaining strength. After closing Mikael's eyes, he roared as much as his breath could. He mourned for the death of the man who once cared for him as a child. It may be an act, may be a lie but it didn't feel like it. He made Adam hated him but he understands that a part of his hate is justified. Adam had taken the woman he loves. It wasn't on purpose but what's done is done. "Sleep well brother. I wish things were different. I hated you for what you have done but you will always be my brother. I just hope you felt the same." After laying a kiss on his forehead, he quickly with little energy he has, crawled towards Eve.
The memories fade and it became faster this time. Scenes after scenes takes over showing her Mikael real self who slowly deteriorates from the innocent boy he was to a wrecked man. The time he had hid when she met Adam at the meadow as a child, her marrying Adam with his eyes looking aback, brimming with tears and bloodied hands after digging his nails deeper into his palm from clutching his hand too hard.His raw emotion exploding in his room the night Adam and Eve spend their time as husband and wife. All his things, beds, tables, cloth was ripped and destroyed. He seated at the corner of the room, crying his hearts out and slamming the floor beside him.
When she turns, she saw a woman, crying on the ground with her face swollen and full of bruises. Blood drips down her chin and in front of her was a soldier, covered with iron armour. He held a bottle of alcohol since his face was red and oily. He was a handsome man and the lady herself was beautiful. The house they were in was made from grey bricks, something that people in the olden times would stayed in.The house itself was decorated with finest of things, finely sculpted furniture, huge fireplace, hearty meals on the table all dressed in red and gold which means this home belongs to someone who is close to Dzhimara's royal family. After the man finish cursing at the beaut
Adam's wound made him slower than he should which gave Mikael an advantage but Adam training make sure that he is able to avoid any thrust from Mikael's sword. Fast reflect from Adam's hand causes his sword to cut Mikael's arm deeply. Mikael hissed but his gaze remains at Adam.When Mikael stands behind Adam in a flash, he swung the tip of his sword and ug deeply into the wounds from earlier on. Blood pouring with painful groan escaping his lips. Adam turn and slam the back of his sword in Mikael's abdomen.Seeing he was distracted from his pain, Adam swiped his feet below him causing Mikael to fall. His swords were knocked off from his hand. Adam grinned."You may be a great talker, Mikael but you suck at fighting. Told you not to skip practise." An advice he once given Mikael growing up. Adam was about to bury his sword in his chest when he hears Eve soft moan calling out to him. He turn to see Eve completely awake and standing up weakly. His distraction almost risk him his life se
Healing Adam's wound took longer than expected. News of war in Dzhimara reach to them and from the amount of death enquired, Abram was devastated. Though wolves was able to defeat them at first, the amount of vampires and dark creatures from the forest like Gollum, Orcs and demons that had joined the war to gain control of Dzhimara including humans life alike made it hard for them to defend their fortress. After Adam was healed, he sat up still cringing with the sensation of the pain pounding intensely with every movement. The forest warlock sat beside him, breathing hard after putting so much magic and power to heal the wolf king."I have to save her. I need to go." Adam gritted. He was bare from waist up after his shirt was soaked with his blood. Abram tried to push him to stay but even in his weak state Adam was stronger than his son. "You are weak, father. You don't even know where they are. You have to take care of yourself.""He is right. My magic heals you now but like a medic
Laying Eve at the grass, Mikael couldn't help but push her hair behind her ear, touching her warm skin and gazing at her. It took hundreds of years for him to find her again and it blow his mind seeing her remain the same. The same smooth skin, the long silky ivory hair, red lips as thick lashed above her pixie nose. She was perfection.He knelt down beside her. It will take at least half a day before Eve would know where they were. Back where it all begin. Observing every featured on her petite body, Mikael smiled, making sure everything little detail about her is imprinted in his mind. She remains flawless as she was when he first saw her when they were a childHis eyes glare at her. He frowned and his grip on the ground beneath him tightens. He stands up straight again and anger twisting his handsome face. He was furious at how things have gone in his life. Everything he ever wanted, everything he ever need was taken from him. All falls into the hand of his step
A rough shook of his body awakes him and his eyes abruptly open in shock. He sits quickly, inhaling all the air his lung was robbed off and he started heaving and coughing. Abram's hand rub his back and he gently whisper to him to calm down. Adam mind was blank for a second but memories from Eve's heart flooded his every being making him s rambled to his feet and searching for Eve. Though she only just lay next to him, Brahms was panting excessively. He knelt down beside Eve and start pulling her unconscious body near him. He hears people around him calling out to him but he ignored them and hug Eve tightly to his chest. Her head rested beneath his chin and her face closed over his chest. He caress her hair and rock her body gently with his.He hears gasping from the voice around him and he look down to see Eve's jet black hair turning ivory from its root. Her pale skin blushed and more life is added to her body. No more dark vibes basking from her small form. Only warmt
King Aidan wore a gentle smile while offering a white floral cup of tea to Adam. Adam nodded while taking the glass, his hand shivers and he drank the tea with his fingers trembling holding the handle."I am fine, your highness. " He didn't know how to ask him whether the king was fine too. He was dead after all. Would it be rude? Then a thought got to him so he turn to look into King Aidan's eye, feeling even more determine."This is Eve's heart. It's where she 'rest' when she is in pain. I'm sorry but both of you..uh..is it just my imagination or hers?"Queen Aaliyah chuckled and she brush her husband's hand. She kissed his cheek before leaving him alone. Adam stood as a sign of respect but Aidan shook his head and Adam see the fair queen looking a whole lot of Eve walk away, heading to the front door. He is now alone with King Aidan."What do you think, Adam? Are we just your imagination or Eve's? The goddess creation is a very interesting sight to behold.
