EVANORA'S POVStanding a few inches away from me was Blade and my whole senses shot up as I laid my eyes on him.My pulse quickened and my palms got sweaty as I watched him walk toward me, his smell getting more distinct.What were these emotions that overcame me with a sudden rush? "Evanora," I heard him breathe out as he moved closer to me. His words were light, his voice heavy as he allowed them to leave his throat. "Where have you been?"Creating room for him, I shifted on the rock and he sat next to me. His gaze was fixed on me as he drew even closer, getting rid of whatever distance was left between us."You look," he exhaled. "Very beautiful. And alluring. And tempting and-"He paused and I immediately exhaled, realizing I'd been holding my breath ever since. He looked at me, his eyes roaming around every inch of my body and I felt goosebumps make their way towards my skin.I was positive he felt it too. The very evident tension between us and the way my body reacted to even t
EVANORA'S POVWhat have I done?The speed at which I picked up my clothes and threw them over me was second to none. Like a maniac, I covered myself up hurriedly and ignoring Blade's call to calm down, I dashed from his presence and ran away.I didn't stop running until I was far away from the forest and almost at the Grimaldi Dynasty. My breathing was heavy as I paused and I looked around to confirm I was truly far away from him.A feeling of anguish immediately enveloped me. I ran my hands through my whole body, memories of what transpired between me and Blade a few minutes ago rushing towards me.No, I shouldn't have. I totally shouldn't have.Damn my stupid vampire senses that were alerted.And damn all the stupid training I'd undergone which didn't include how to control me in such situations.Sighing, I resumed my journey back home. I was already very close to the palace and after a few more minutes of walking, I found myself at the main gate.I stepped into the palace through t
BLADE'S POVDo you know the type of immense pain that came after just as immense pleasure? Yeah, I felt that. Why did she run?Just why the fuck did she run?She had me handicapped. She ruin my plans on getting closer to her while I showered kisses on her forehead. She shattered my hope of whispering sweet things in her ear and having her do the same.After all,l we had just had sex so those gestures were to happen naturally.But no, she just had to run away from me.I stared at her confused as she swiftly picked her clothes from the ground and even more swiftly, threw them on. Ignoring the fact that I was completely naked, I got on my feet, called out her name, and tried to demand where she was off to in a hurry but it was all useless.There was a limit to how far I could go without my clothes on and before I could completely get dressed, she had dashed far into the woods never to be seen again.Left with no choice, I put my clothes on and left for the palace to sulk to myself.I ha
EVANORA'S POVIt took a short while but I'd finally resumed living my old life. Not as a human, of course, but as the true vampire princess I was.My training had become more consistent and I had completely gotten used to it. I had taken both my normal training and vampire senses' training more seriously and I had to admit, I knew I was improving.That morning was no different as immediately breakfast filled the table, I began to eat heading to the training room immediately after I was done. The sweet smell of the meals tickled my nose and my mouth watered at the sight. By a corner of the table was a jar filled with blood as always.I'd completely gotten used to drinking blood. It now came as naturally as drinking water to me and the feeling of disgust that came over me after consuming it had managed to completely fade away."Today," my dad spoke up as he lifted his cutlery. He just never seemed to observe basic table manners as he always had a new observation or thing to talk about
EVANORA’S POVI spent close to an extra hour talking with my dad about the most random things and I figured we had more in common than I’d ever imagined.He had an awful sense of humor that matched mine as we cracked jokes and laughed at intervals. It was so fun it made me wonder how I’d spent so long not knowing that side of him."We should head back home,” he finally said to me. “We’ve spent more than enough time outside the palace, don’t you think?”“Mhm mhm, I guess so,” I replied, rising to my feet after watching him do the same. “We should go.”He nodded and led the way, turning and walking in the direction only familiar to him. Our walk was silent as he focused on navigating his way out of the forest while I focused on a totally different issue.No matter how hard I tried, there was something about the forest that just continued to remind me of Blade. Maybe it was how the light breeze that hit my skin so gently felt so similar to his touch. Or maybe it was because how every ste
EVANORA'S POVI could barely control myself. My fangs had completely grown and were more than ready to dig into his skin. Internally groaning, I shut my eyes and mouth, trying my hardest to control myself."Go away!"My loud outburst took both me and Blade by surprise. I pushed him away, our make-out session coming to an abrupt end. My hand immediately flew to my mouth, covering it as I tried to calm myself down to control the urge."Evanora," he took a step towards me and I immediately took one backward. "What's wrong?"I remained silent, my palm still wrapped over my mouth."You feel it too, don't you?" Blade wasn't giving up as he took another step forward. "I know you feel it too and you want me as much as I want you so please stop acting otherwise. Don't push your feelings to the side. Don't fight it."He literally had no idea. I stared at him and he stared back, my heartbeat still managing to quicken. I also didn't want to pull away from the kiss. Though I knew it was wrong, at
BLADE'S POVMy walk back to my pack land was slow, different thoughts clouding my mind. On one hand, Evanora's words echoed in my head about her wanting us to stop, and on the other, I kept on recalling how her body reacted to my touch.She obviously wanted me as much as I wanted her. She felt everything I felt too so just why did she want to end us?I did understand the part about her being scared. She was a human and everything must have still felt so new to her and I understood that. I was willing to give her more time to adapt and get used to everything so just why did she forget about all that and suggest ending us?I wanted her more than I'd ever wanted anything and just the thought of not having her with me broke my heart. I couldn't afford to let her go. If it was more time she needed, I could give it to her. If it was more space she needed, we could meet once every two weeks instead. I was willing to give it absolutely whatever it took to make sure she didn't leave me.She ju
EVANORA'S POV"Do you want more rice?"I looked up to meet my dad smiling at me and I shook my head, chuckling.We were just having breakfast but he was being unusually nice and though it felt good, it still felt weird. He helped me dish my meal, helped me with my cutlery, passed me a glass when I reached for one, and now, was asking me if I wanted more rice.For heaven's sake, I was barely done with the one on my plate."You're being weird, dad," I stared at him intently. "Why are you being all nice all of a sudden?""What? I'm not," he took a spoonful of his meal. "Whoa, look at you making it seem like I'm not naturally a nice person.""You are," I snickered. "But this is being extreme. It's not even my birthday, why are you treating me, especially all of a sudden?""Okay, you got me," he rested his hands on the dining table. "Maybe I was being a little too obvious.""Yes," I folded my arms. "Now tell me, what is it?""Nothing serious, actually," he laughed lightly. "I'm just feeli
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
