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
“You mean he survived all that? How is it possible? He should be dead by now.” Abram spoke in disbelief after finding out Ambrose have survived his wounds. Being the wolf that he was, he is now currently healing himself and would be alright by tomorrow.The healer sighed. He seems to be tired of repeating the same thing. “Indeed, your highness. Tis’ true his body was stabbed by many spear but none of it hit his vital organ. Even if they did penetrate to his back, somehow the spear curve inside his body but none of it touches his important organ. If you ask me, the attack on him is merely a threat or just to hurt him. Death wasn’t even a plan after all. Human’s probably won’t survive this but being the wolf that he is, he will be alright.”Abram nodded and let the doctor leave, escorted by one of the maid in the castle. Soon after the blizzard attack, all the man had tried searching for Eve but she remains missing while Adam passed out form the impact. He had taken up a long time ago b
ZeadinThe vampires were enjoying their night at the tavern. Dante observe his clan drinking their hearts out and laughing, singing and some on the side was bickering about their life and it calms him surrounded by this peace. No fights, no war so he relaxes his back on the elegant chair at the corner of the tavern. Bar maids was sending out drinks, some even flirting while others either making love, feeding on the side. A normal night for the vampire indeed.
His body was burning with pain. Small movement was dreadful and he was surprised to know why he was still alive. Ambrose eyes burns at the sunlight beaming into his room and when he was wide awake, he finds himself shirtless with bandages covers all his body except a long loose white pants. Blood soak the wound on his body. He was wounded terribly but somehow, he had survived and that was weird.When he moves again for just a little, he groaned at the sensation of fire flowing deep in his skin. He finally able to move his feet down the cold floor and lean on his arm for support, He opens the bandages which covers his hand and saw that there were no more wounds in his body except the reminder of his love trying to kill him.He then remembered the horrible ordeal before this of how Eve or Zara let herself go and allow the dark side, Vaisya to take over her body. She is no more now. His sweet, kind, patient and caring woman is too broken to be fixed so she finally put
Adam open the wooden door to what use to be the room he had once shared with his beloved whom he had betrayed cruelly. The room was still in a mess with the bed now just a wooden plank with feathers scatter on it. Cobwebs hanging on the ceiling and old, torn drapes of his royal family symbol hangs on the floor. The fireplace was covered with spider webs and fill with dust. The room was grim, dark, grey and somehow painful to look at.He walks towards the vigil and rip it aside. His heart was beating fast and his hand shiver slightly at what is hidden behind the wall. He pushed his hand towards one of the bricks. The hidden room is now open with again, spider webs blocking the way. Adam push hands to push the webs away and enter the room with a torch in his hand.It didn’t take him a minute as he sees the small room decorated with what use to belong to Eve. Paintings after paintings, chest and small toys on the small table near the wall. The small torch was ab
Eve was at one of the tower in Zeadin. She stands behind the ledge and rest her eyes upon the bright lights coming from Dzhimara. Zeadin was indeed a strategic place for war. The only thing they vampires lack off was their ability to shapeshift like the wolves. Thus, they would lose early when in war like they did years after her people genocide.After banished and forced to live in the mountain side the vampires were able to build a new home in a land founded by Dante. It was name Zeadin, inspire by his family name and the vampires have lived peacefully ever since. Nevertheless, the influence Sviatoslavich has upon Afhrin was overwhelming. Even if magical creatures in Afhrin is living independently, out of fear and respect for Adam, they would choose his side and gladly kill the vampires if Adam order them too. Truly they are being disrespected, underrated and misunderstood.Vampires are not violent creature. Perhaps they are when they are unable to find their tru
Nico was in his room arranging some of his documents. Other guards were standing outside of his house. Despite being one of Adam’s powerful guard, no one in their right mind should take the Akhillar for granted. A creature with ancient power as her is very powerful and stories of their horror travel from time to time. To be able to exist when one currently present is definitely a scary thought. He turns to the cupboard on the wall and hold the small stuffed wolf. He sighs and rather grateful his child and mate is safely being escorted to the castle. In wars, it’s important that anyone important to them is in a safe condition or these family members might be used against them. He made sure that everything in his home is taken care of before stepping outside.Once he did, his breath stuck in his throat seeing every one of the guard has spike penetrate their body and all five of them hangs from the spear planted in the ground with claw and bite marks bloodying their shirt and pan
“Where’s Nico?” Abram asked in the breakfast table. Everyone else except for Ambrose was eating at the table. Ariadne and Adam, both looking tired haven’t touch any of their food while the rest was taking small bites from their plate.“I thought he went home to grab his stuff?” Maksim answered him, being the only one having the largest appetite with no worries painting his face.“What? Did he go alone?” Abram spoke with concern lacing his voice.Everyone raised their voice and Nikolai asked. “He went with some guards. Why are you looking scared?’Abram rub his forehead, leaning on the table, “His home is outside of the walls. You people should’ve tell me. What if something bad happen to him?”Adam took a sip of his coffee and spoke with his eyes still looking down at his plate. He had a tired expression, “He’ll be fine. He is my personal guard. He’s strong. He went to bring his family her so he should be fine.”Abram didn’t look convince. He
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.
