EVANORA’S POVMy eyes fluttered then opened and though everything in front of me was in a blur, I immediately knew I was in my room. Not the old room I’d converted into my new room but my original room with my things around it.“Are you up?”I shifted my gaze to see Matthew seated next to me, his hands in mine as he stared at me apologetically. Things were only getting stranger. Not only was I surprised in my room but Matthew was also in it with me. What in the world happened?I felt my head hurt as I tried to recall what happened. The last thing I could remember was being at training with him than hearing there was going to be a surprise attack against Blade’s pack then…Right. The surprise attack.My eyes shot open as I recollected everything. My dad had ordered a guard to snap my neck and I passed out in the process.“Matthew,” I turned to face him, holding his hands tightly. “What happened?”“Evanora,” his voice was lowered as he squeezed my hands. “You should rest. You need to
BLADE’S POVEvanora’s dad might have seemed to have a problem with my whole kind but I was more than sure that at that moment, the problem was me.It was me he had a problem with. It was me he so desperately wanted to get rid of which was why I knew he was going to accept my proposition very easily.It was simple. In return for him going back on his words to attack my pack, I was going to surrender myself to him. I was going to be all his.It was probably a foolish decision to make but at that moment, I couldn’t think of any other way out. In a way, it was going to be a win-win situation with him getting what he so desperately wanted while I did what was expected of me as Alpha- protecting my people.He didn’t hesitate to accept my proposition, quickly ordering his guards to grab me. Without any objections, I gave up and allowed them to have their grips on me as the rest of their troop led the way back to their coven.It was quite comical. To think that the first time I was getting to
BLADE’S POVLivid was an understatement for how I felt as I watched Evanora’s neck gets snap, resulting to her falling to the ground.I felt my blood boil, my rage consuming every bit of my being as her almost lifeless body hit the ground. Her eyes were immediately sent shut, color draining from her face as she was silenced.“HOW DARE YOU?!” I yelled, watching the guard who was responsible smirk and then laugh at me. He felt no remorse or guilt for what he had just done. If anything, he felt good and even better watching me burn with rage.I lost control of my sanity as I growled out, stretching my limbs as I broke out of the chains, immediately pouncing on the guard.“Didn’t I warn you?!” I growled at him, grabbing him by the neck. “Didn’t I ask you not to lay your filthy hands on her?”He looked gripped by fear and though it made me feel good, it wasn’t enough. I wanted him to feel pain on an unimaginable scale. I wanted him to hate himself and wish he never met me or Evanora. I wan
EVANORA'S POV"Evanora? Can I come in?" "Sure."I recognized the voice to immediately belong to Matthew and being the only person I voluntarily allowed in for the past two days, I quickly permitted him to come in.After my last encounter with Blade and my dad in the dungeons, my neck was snapped making me lose consciousness. I had no idea how long it lasted but by the time I regained consciousness I was back in my room, chained to my bed.I felt weak, unable to move my limbs. It was useless to even attempt moving as even if I had the strength to, there was no way it was going to be possible thanks to the chains used to confine me to my bed. I didn't need to think twice to know who was behind it made me wallow in frustration even more. My life was pathetic. Nothing I wanted was going my way and there was nothing I could do as both me and Blade were chained.I had no choice but to succumb to their orders. I was forced to eat and after every meal, I felt weaker. I knew my meals were mi
EVANORA’S POV A few minutes after Matthew left, just as predicted by the guard, dad arrived.He wasn’t polite enough to give the door a knock, barging in without my permission. The guards behind him did the same, quickly turning my room into a mini-battle ground.“What is going on?” I asked, peevishly as I stared at them. “What do you want from me now?”“I just want to speak to you, Evanora,” he replied moving closer to me. “That’s all.”“And then a dozen guards?” I was irritated and didn’t try to hide it. “Do they also need to talk to me? Or are you scared I’ll escape? Are these chains not enough?”“Fine,” he sighed then faced the guards. “You may all leave. Wait for me outside.”They gave him a final look for confirmation, nodded, and turned to leave. “Alright, Your Highness.”“So, Evanora,” he began whatever he had to say by taking a seat on my bed, next to me. “How are you?”I stared at him, hopelessly, feeling the root of all my problems dawn on me. “Are you asking me that, dad?
EVANORA’S POV Morning came and I was woken up earlier than usual. Maids rushed into my room, forcing me to take my bath and get freshened up. After I was done, they styled my hair, forcefully applied light make-up on my face then took out my outfit for the day. It was a black exotic gown I’d never laid my eyes on. Though it was beautiful, I couldn’t help but think of the irony. A beautiful gown for a day that was going to be far from beautiful. At least, there were a few similarities. It was black and looked very suitable for an elite funeral and if everything went in the way my dad planned, we were going to be holding a funeral. Possibly, for more than a single person. Brushing the thoughts away, I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The bruises around my neck and wrists from the grip of the chains were covered with necklaces and bracelets, tiny diamonds, and other precious stones glistening around me. “We’re done,” the maids announced after they were done dolling me up. “We’
EVANORA’S POV For the first time in a while, I missed my mother so dearly. Hugging the witch while I cried my heart out in her arms made me imagine how my life would have been if my mother was still with me. She definitely would have been on my side, right? She would support me and maybe would have been able to change my dad’s mind. I and the witch had our little emotional moment then pulled away with her taking my hand and leading the way to the dungeon. It was a totally unfamiliar path for me and seemed extremely far-Probably because I was so scared and was literally counting my steps. Though I missed him so much, I was scared to see Blade. Scared to see him in whatever state he was going to be in. Scared my heart wouldn’t be able to take it. He was going to be a mess. Despite being his daughter, my dad had barely cut me any slack and tortured me so mercilessly that I couldn’t even dare imagine what it’d be like for Blade. “Are you ready?” the witch interrupted my thought
EVANORA’S POV The dungeons echoed with the sound of my wails as guards burst in and dragged me away from Blade. I yelled, screamed, and pleaded but it was all to no avail as I felt myself get dragged out and thrown at the feet of my father who was waiting for me outside. “Why are you stubborn, Evanora?” he groaned. “I thought you were back to senses so I had my guard down and what did you do? Take advantage of that and compel the guards to escape?” “Dad,” I rushed to his feet. “I’m sorry about that, okay? So forgive me and let Blade go. Okay?” “I knew something was going on with you and that witch. You got her to lie to me about the Prince too, didn’t you?” he shook his head. “I don’t know what you did to have her on your side but it wouldn’t work for me. Guards, take her away.” “No,” I shook my head desperately. “Nothing is going on between me and the witch. I didn’t have her lie to you about me and the prince. We’re truly a bad pair so dad, please-” My words were cut short
Three weeks later… “Evanora, would you at least have breakfast before you leave?” “For the hundredth time, dad, I can’t,” I replied my dad with a sigh. “I’ve spent a whole week here already. I need to return home.” Home. I smiled as the words escaped my lips. I could finally call Blade’s pack my home. I could finally proudly call myself a member of their pack. Not just as a regular member but as the Luna. I spent the past few weeks after our marriage shuffling between his pack and our coven. It was just as hectic as we imagined as I was constantly needed as Luna and at the same time, the vampire princess. The past week was the most hectic as I had to spend the whole week at our coven. There were tons of events I had to attend, and tons of matters to address and they just kept on increasing, everyone forgetting I was to be on my honeymoon after getting married in not the smoothest manner to the love of my life. It was finally going to pause though as after spending a week alone
BLADE’S POVWe literally ran back to the palace, the same thing evidently on both of our minds. Evanora. My Evanora. I couldn’t afford to lose her. I just couldn’t. Silently praying as I ran, I recalled the arrow hitting her right by her heart. Fear gripped me at the thought of her not being fine. She needed to stay strong. I needed her to. My breathing became heavier as I ran. Oddly, the palace seemed to be longer as after what seemed to be hours of running, we still hadn’t gotten there. After seeming like forever, we finally arrived at the palace. Side by side, we rushed towards the garden the ceremony was being held. Tearing through the crowd as we got there, we rushed towards the podium to see Evanora was no longer there. “Where’s she?!” I and the king asked in unison, the fear and worry evident in our voices. “Where is she?” “She’s in one of the tents with the witch.” Mumbling our thanks, we rushed towards the tent pointed at. Taking the lead, I ran and on getting to the
BLADE’S POV“Evanora!” My yell was the loudest it had ever been as I rushed towards her, watching her slump onto the ground. No, no. I shook my head. It couldn’t be happening. I felt my whole world shatter to the ground as she slumped in front of me. We were about to get married. We were about to go through the last ritual so it made no sense she was suddenly shot by an arrow.“Evanora,” I cried out to her, holding her close to me. I stared at her in horror, watching blood pour off her chest. Whoever shot her must have practiced well enough as the arrow hit her right by her heart. “No, Evanora. Please stay with me.”The whole crowd was thrown into a frenzy. It was too terrifying to be true. Not only had someone dared to shoot the princess, but they had also dared to do it at t her wedding. Holding her close to me, I was suddenly consumed by rage. How dare whoever it was trying to hurt her? Swearing on my life, I vowed silently to find whoever it was and have him or have to feel th
EVANORA’S POV A smile appeared on my face as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. It was finally the day. The day I spent the past week counting down to. The day I’d been anticipating ever since I realized I was in love with Blade. It was finally my wedding day I was dressed in a white gown, a bouquet of red roses in my hands. My hair was styled prettily, my makeup was done perfectly and I knew I looked beautiful. I could only imagine how dashing Blade was going to look in the suit we had chosen together, the image of both of us standing close to each other playing in my mind and having my smile even wider.The past few days had been hectic with literally the whole coven preparing for my wedding alongside me. Wolves from Blade’s pack had also freely entered our coven and vice versa, everyone is happy.My dad for one seemed the happiest. He actively took part in the preparations for the wedding as he was always busy around. A lot had to be done and a lot had to be changed too a
EVANORA’S POV“You have met my Beta once already, right??” I nodded as me and Blade walked out of his office to head to his home. Both excited with the way things were finally turning out, he was about to introduce me to everyone all over again. “Yeah,” I nodded to him. “Why?” “I don’t care,” he playfully replied. “I’m going to introduce you to him all over again. Officially, this time. As my Luna.”I blushed as I had been doing every single time he called me his Luna. The title still felt foreign to me and extremely exciting. “Alright.” Hands intertwined, we climbed down the stairs to step into a wide hall. Taking a couple of steps more, we walked into a corridor and after more walking; we were in front of a room.“Is this his room?” I got the answer to my question as he placed a knock on his door, calling out to him as he did. Initially, all we got in response was silence but after a while of more knocking, the door was finally open.“Were you asleep?” Compared to Blade’s smi
BLADE’S POV“Don’t you fucking dare lay a finger on her.”I growled out to the wolves as they tried to touch Evanora at my mother’s command. noticing the seriousness in my voice, they all stepped back, slowly loosening their grip on Evanora.“Blade!” my mum exclaimed, rushing towards me. “What are you doing? Her people got you captured and now you’re trying to protect her?”“They didn’t capture me, mother,” I replieto d her. “I voluntarily surrendered myself to them and I’m here alive, am I not?”“Blade-”“Order your little minions to let her go,” I breathed out. “We don’t have a reason to be enemies with the vampires anymore, mother.”“What?” she knitted her eyebrows in confusion. “What do you mean?”“Trust me, mother,” I took a step closer to rods her. “Call for an emergency pack meeting and I’ll explain it all. For now, let Evanora go. please mother, don’t make this any harder.”Her shoulders slouched in defeat as she heaved a sigh. She knew she was left with no choice but to liste
BLADE’S POV“Are you sure you’re really fine?”“For the millionth time, Evanora,” I laughed lightly, pulling her close to me to place a kiss on her forehead. “Yes, I am.”She shut her eyes and then let out a sigh. I could tell she was still worried about me not healing fully before heading back to my pack. I was fine though and as much as I wanted to do nothing but lay in her arms under the guise of taking my time to heal, I knew I needed to return to my pack.I could only imagine the frenzy the whole pack must have been thrown in without me being around. They must have been so confused and lost on what to do. After all, their Alpha was suddenly in captivity.It must have been hard for them all, especially Adam. I could only imagine how worried he was going to know there was almost nothing he could do. With me being in captivity, they couldn’t risk waging war against them. Especially since I voluntarily gave in.Thus, I was left with no choice but to return home to inform them I was w
EVANORA’S POV The past two days went by very quickly with me barely leaving Blade’s side throughout. After the whole very dramatic event ended with Blade accepting to get us married in a week, he slumped and finally collapsed. It was only natural for it to happen, given how much torture he had been under for the past week alongside the insane amount of wolf's bane that was injected into his system. He was immediately moved to the infirmary, and the best doctor around began to treat him. Though he had been responding to all the treatment he was receiving, he had spent the past two days in bed, taking his time to heal while I did nothing but watch him closely. I was overjoyed. Despite him being unwell and unable to celebrate with me, I still felt extremely happy. It was all over. We were finally going to be able to stay together. A light blush crept towards my cheek as I recalled how he accepted to get us married. It felt like a dream. I was finally going to be getting married to
EVANORA’S POV The chants from the crowd were getting louder with every passing second, my tears not stopping as they freely rolled down my cheeks. My dad’s guards were frozen, conflicted on what to do considering how torn the crowd had quickly become. Desperately, I turned my head in my dad’s direction to look at him. His eyes looked just as desperate as mine, containing an element of fear in them. Of course, he was to be scared. He could tell I wasn’t joking and knew even his slightest actions could cause him to lose his only child at that moment. “Please,” I whispered to him. “Please, dad.” We locked gazes for a while, both doing nothing but pleading with our eyes. I felt hopeless and after a couple more seconds of my dad staring, he looked away. “Silence!” At his words, the bubbling crowd became silent, everyone immediately shifting their attention toward him. Sparing me another glance, he walked towards the podium, looked at the crowd, and took a deep exhale. My heartbeat
