BLADE'S POVFurious was an understatement for how I felt as I stormed through the woods, making my way back home.I was confused, heartbroken, and pained only for a short while, those emotions quickly dissolving into one of burning rage.How could she do that to me? It made them so sensitive that she was a vampire or any creature other than a human.I was at war with my emotions. The longer it took me to get home, the angrier I became. I just wanted to get home, scream, break some objects and vent out all my anger until I no longer felt all those emotions. After the longest walk, I'd ever taken, I finally got home. As usual, I was welcomed by arrays of greetings and bows, and this time, I ignored them all. I was far from being in the mood for unnecessary conversations or whatever.Without stopping halfway, I walked straight to my room and slammed the door shut on getting there. Angrily, I sat on my bed and balled my fists, uselessly trying to calm myself down."Aaaarrrrghhhh," I grow
BLADE'S POVAfter Adam's little lecture, I spent the rest of the day in my room, surrounded by my thoughts.He was right. I was so blinded by my rage I didn't think things through. I was so clouded by my anger, I wasn't willing to give my other emotions a chance.I cursed as I recalled how she cried out my name and begged for a chance to explain. To even listen to her but I was so adamant.Stupid. That was exactly what I was. How did I manage to forget how much she meant to me? How much I cherished and adored her. How much I just wanted to have her by my side forever.Though I couldn't deny it, a part of me still felt disappointed. I still felt a bit let down and still needed a good explanation for what happened. And just maybe if I gave her the chance, she could explain and finally make it all make sense.After wallowing in my thoughts and finally coming to conclusion, I impatiently began to wait for the sun to go down. I was going to head over to our spot to finally give her a chan
EVANORA'S POVBlade and I spent every second wrapped in each other's embrace."Um, Blade," I said after having light conversations occasionally. "What are we going to do next?""Next?""After this," I sat up. "You know what I am and you know what you are. What are we going to do? How are we going to get through this?""About that," he pulled me closer back to our embrace. "I don't know yet.""Blade-""But I know one thing," he cut me off to continue. "No one's ever going to be able to come in between us. No matter what, I'm going to fight for us."My insides leaped for joy and I smiled, pressing my head harder against his chest. "Let's not rush things, though," he placed a kiss on my head and then said. "We'll figure out a way slowly."I nodded and hugged him, oddly feeling relieved at his words. Words couldn't explain how excited I was. For him. For that moment and everything in general. I had thought I had finally lost him and there he was, arms wrapped around me, promising to not
EVANORA'S POVAfter managing to beat Matthew one more time, I left the training room gloating.I still had about an hour till noon, giving me the time to go back to my room and get myself mentally prepared before leaving with my dad later.Though I was really excited, I couldn't deny a part of me felt anxious. It was going to be the first time I would be meeting the villagers properly and though I was a bit confident, I couldn't help but worry if they'll love me.My coronation was going to be happening in only a few days and afterwards, I'd officially become their princess. It was going to be a huge task and responsibility but I was ready for it.My thoughts got interrupted by a knock on the door, making me realize how long I'd spent dwelling in my thoughts."Come in."The door gave a little squeak, Sisu then appearing. I managed to smile at her and she did the same, accompanied by a little bow."Princess Evanora," she began. "Your attention is needed by the seamstress.""The seamstre
EVANORA'S POVJust as my dad ordered, I left them at the woods and went home pissed.I simply couldn't understand why he was suddenly cold. Definitely, it couldn't be because I stepped out of the carriage to join in the fight, right? If anything, he was to be proud of me for being able to take such a brave step.I shivered at the thought of the attack again. It had to be the first time seeing my dad that way. He was angry, almost livid and had flames in his eyes as he tortured the only assailants left alive."Princess Evanora?"My thoughts got interrupted as I stepped into the palace, immediately hearing Matthew's voice. I looked up and just as predicted, he was walking towards me."You're back?" He asked. "That was quick. How about your dad?""No, we're not back," I groaned out to him. "We couldn't go. Our carriage got attacked.""What?" I watched his eyes widen in shock. "What the hell happened? Are you okay? Is everything okay? Where's the king?""I'm fine," I replied. "We're all f
EVANORA’S POVI walked back home smiling like an idiot as memories of the night came flooding back.Blade. He was like a drug and hell, I was addicted and had no plans on breaking free from his grip on me.I got back to the palace feeling ecstatic and was about to climb the stairs leading to my room when I spotted Matthew.Excited, I waved at him and he walked towards me."Look at that," he said as he approached me. "All giddy and obviously just returning from somewhere you shouldn't be."I smiled at him, unable to hide my emotions. "Fine, you caught me.""Evanora-""No, stop," I placed my palm over his mouth to stop him from talking then laughed. "I know what you're going to say so just don't.""Fine," he replied, shaking his head. "I won't."I smiled at him in return and randomly looked around the hall, my eyes immediately meeting my dad watching me at a corner of the room. "Oh, my dad's back?""Yes, he got back about an hour ago," he replied me. "You're lucky he didn't ask for you
BLADE'S POVThe distance from my pack to our spot in the woods wasn't that far but sometimes felt like a journey lasting forever.And sometimes it felt like a really short distance equivalent to the one from my room to my office.The distance was always determined by my emotions as I walked through the forest, having Evanora surround my thoughts, the path felt very short and in no time, I found myself at my pack.I smiled as I stepped into the palace, surprisingly replying to all the greetings and bows I received on the way with warm smiles. Anyone could tell I was in a good mood and I was sure as hell they all wanted it to last just like I did.That was what Evanora did to me. The effect she had on me. She made me happy. Made me soft and in the long run, made me love her all over again. She was perfect for me. As my mate, my Luna, and the person I wanted to be with.The smile, however, vanished from my face as I spotted my mother walking towards me as I headed towards my room.She c
EVANORA'S POV"I win this time.""No, we're even," I corrected Matthew as I took his stretched hand and got up. "I beat you earlier, remember?"I chuckled and I watched him shake his head and wait for me to regain my balance again. "So one more round?""Bring it on," he said, maintaining eye contact with me. "Oh, by the way, your father said he was going to kill me if I ever hurt you.""What?" I paused the punch I was about to throw at him. "What? Why? Isn't that a bit too intense since it's natural for me to get hurt while training?""Well that was what I thought too, initially," he replied. "Until I figured out he didn't mean during training. He didn't mean it that way. What did you do, Princess Evanora?"My hands immediately flew to clamp my mouth as I immediately realized what he was talking about. I'd managed to make my dad believe there was a thing between me and Matthew and as such he was simply trying to be a protective father."Oh my God, Matthew I'm so sorry.""So you did do
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
