EVANORA'S POVTrue to his words, King Darius ensured that I was locked in my room. His annoying guards were placed outside my door and it seemed they’d even reinforced the security to make it impossible to even think about sneaking out. It was right to say that I was livid. Beyond pissed off. Cause how dare he? How dare a man, who was in no way qualified to be my father, come from nowhere and cripple my life?He had absolutely no right to keep me locked! He was being unfair! Has he even stopped to think that maybe this isn’t what I wanted? I didn’t ask to be a stupid goddamn princess of fangs land. I just wanted to be Evanora; the coffee maker from an average - very content - life.Goodness, even the thought of staying back at Blade’s wolf-infested mansion seemed even more appetizing than my current predicament.At the thought of him, my heart fluttered and memories of the night I’d spent filtered into my mind. The way he’d gripped my thighs, fondled my breasts, and the taste of his
BLADE’S POVMy fist penetrated the concrete surface of the large rock lying innocently in the clearing of the woods. Regardless of the pain that shot up my arms at the impact or bloody bruises that immediately tore up my skin, I kept at it.I furiously punched the rock, smashed and smashed with every angry and tense bone in my body, yet it did nothing to take away the void she’d left behind. It’s been a week!A whole fucking week, and Eva never showed up.I was caught up between sinking into the horrific possibilities of what might have gone wrong, or wondering if she’d just taken the easy way out. Was she that frightened by what I was? Did she hate the fact that I was a werewolf? Was she harmed? Lost? Dead?With the last blow, I completely shattered the large rock, reducing it into fragments of sand and smaller pieces. My blood boiled hot, my wolf was restless and everything about me was on the edge. Ever since the morning she’d left, I hadn’t been myself. At first, I was eager to
EVANORA’S POV “Even if I’m a vampire?” The question left my lips before I could stop them. At my words, Blade’s eyes subtly darkened and his brows narrowed lightly in confusion. I desperately tried to search them for something, anything at all that conveyed hate or malice. However, Blade only rolled his eyes, void of emotions, and gave out a deep genuine laugh. “Well, that’s going to be a deal breaker. Cause then, I’d have to drive a stake through your heart, love.” He whispered it and although those words caused a cold shiver down my spine, it didn’t take away the sultry appeal they had. Did he mean that? I sniffed, clearing the last of the tears that had been choked up within me. “You…hate them that much?” Blade rose a brow. “Why do you care?” I shrugged halfheartedly, trying to seem as nonchalant as possible. “I don’t. But ever since Count Dracula attacked me, my interest in the supernatural world has just gone up a notch.” Blade seemed to muse on my words, then he sen
EVANORA’S POV Nathan stormed into my house, without my permission - I must add. Well, I guess that was what a five months relationship does. Yes, I’d dated Nathan for five freaking months. At that time, it seemed perfect. Infact, Nathan had been my dream guy materialized in his handsome, very American way. He was a cute brunette with dazzling green eyes that I’d once felt were the best thing since toast bread. But then, Nathan Sinclair lacked…taste. He lived life to the rule book and believed that I should have to obey every word from his mouth. I didn’t like it. Among other things, it forced us to break up and since then, Nathan had been a royal pain in my ass. He showed up everywhere. In my workplace. At my apartment. In the restaurants I frequented. The man just doesn’t know when he’s not wanted. It was cute at first but now, it is plain irritating. Even more so in this second. I rushed after Nathan, quickly shutting the door behind us. The mud from his boots soiled my
BLADE'S POVDamn, she was cute.My fingers flipped through the pages of her photo album and I chuckled with sounds of pleasure escaping my lips at intervals. It had been about fifteen minutes since Eva had left for the bathroom and it surprised me how I kept track as the minutes went by. Probably because I made sure to spend at least a minute staring at each picture in her album, taking my time to take in the details of it.She was adorable right from an early age and it took me by surprise how that extremely cute little girl turned into one that made my heart throb. How that smile on her face managed to grow into one that made me weak and so soft. How those tiny arms, limbs, and bodies managed to develop into perfectly shaped and curved ones that simply drove me crazy the longer I stared at them.The majority of the pictures were ones with her and a woman I quickly presumed to be her mother. They had similar hair colors and similar eyes that seemed to light up whenever they were ne
EVANORA'S POV How did it manage to almost slip through my mind? It was my last night until I moved permanently into Grimaldi Dynasty. I had intended to savor every single second till my last minute here and I guess I'd been doing that. Probably a bit too much as I quickly forgot how limited that happiness was meant to mean.I let out a sigh and then walked into my room, picking up my towel sprawled over the floor as I walked. I had managed to bid Blade a temporary goodbye promising to see him soon but deep down I knew it wasn't going to be as easy as I thought or wanted it to be. Blade. God, he was so good. Might have been too soon to already conclude but I dared to say he was perfection. He seemed to be everything I never knew I wanted to be so bad. Literally everything about him felt like a dream come true. Was it how devilishly handsome he looked? Or how the words that came out of his mouth seemed perfectly scripted? Or how his gaze made me feel weak, managing to erupt a bill
EVANORA'S POV"And that's a wrap for today."Matthew announced the words I've been craving to hear ever since we started the training for the day and then helped me up. It had been three days already and as the days went by, my ending up on my butt a few minutes after training began was becoming a more natural thing to happen.Staggering then getting up, I massaged my wrist and managed to stretch my sore back. I was beginning to get used to the pain though and I couldn't really tell if that was to be a good thing.At every training, I'd spot my father watching me from far across like I was some sort of entertainment. More often than not, he'd hold a glass of wine, sipping its contents at intervals while I did nothing but get beat up.Did all kings really take pleasure in watching their daughters get beaten up?Yet another thing I'd gotten used to. Though it had been just three days I'd gotten used to him being at my training. I trained three times a day. Three times! It wasn't a meal
BLADE'S POVThree fucking days!It had been three days since I last saw her and God, I missed her. I missed her presence, I missed her smell, I missed her smile, her taste- fucking everything about her.How could she do that to me? I wasn't even mad. I was more worried and at that, I had gone to the nearest human town to search for her but she was nowhere to be found. Her apartment which did nothing but bring back pleasurable and painful memories was empty and no one around seemed to know where she had been.Maybe the next human town, I thought and acting on my thoughts, I traveled to the next human town. And the next one. And the next one after that until I was certain she wasn't in any of them.For fuck's sake I hated going to those humans' town but if I got to see her in the end, it was worth it.But apparently,y it wasn't.The woods weren't left out. I roamed the woods like a lunatic. Searching every corner, raising every leaf and making sure to leave no stone unturned but still
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
