EVANORA’S POVIt just had to be a dream.Instead of sneaking out to meet Blade at night, I’d somehow slept off in my room and was currently dreaming about my dad catching me right in the act. Dreams worked that way, didn’t they? They came in form of one's worst nightmares just to frighten us once in a while.“Evanora, is something up?” Blade’s voice pulled me out of my momentary trance. “Why did you suddenly-”No, no.I watched Blade rise to his feet and then walk towards me, not caring if he had no clothes on. Immediately, my dad turned to look away from his naked body and it was at that moment I knew it wasn’t all a nightmare.Shit. Without thinking twice, I pushed Blade away from me even before he could hold me and immediately bent to pick my clothes from the floor. Not caring if I was putting them on correctly, I threw them over my head to just cover myself.“Evanora?”“Shit, get dressed,” I cursed under my breath as I said to Blade. I was burning with embarrassment and could ba
EVANORA’S POVI could feel my dad’s gaze bore holes in my skin as I remained in my position, watching Blade’s figure slowly disappear.His anger could be sensed from up to a mile away. I couldn’t blame him though, he had every reason to be angry. He had just found out his daughter, the vampire princess was in love with a werewolf. An Alpha at that.“Princess Evanora.” Unfortunately for him, my understanding of his anger wasn’t enough justification for his actions. Regardless, he should have kept Blade away from it and had us deal with it personally. He had no right to insult the man I loved and I was not going to simply have that slide.“How dare you, dad?” I replied to him, turning to face him. “How could you?”“Excuse me?” contrary to his words, he didn’t look surprised at me. “What the hell are you talking about?”“You know exactly what I am talking about!” I yelled. “How could you threaten to kill Blade?”He chuckled softly, getting on my nerves even more. “You should be gratefu
EVANORA’S POVA whole three days had passed by since the last time I was allowed to step out of my room.My dad meant every word when telling me I wasn’t going to be allowed to leave the room. By the doors, were armed guards ready to attack me at even my slightest attempt to escape and the windows were laced with fresh vervain every morning to stop me from trying to pass through them.It was useless to act stubbornly. There was literally no way out.Refusing to admit defeat so easily, I refused to eat for the first day. Irritated every time a new maid appeared with a tray of food, I’d yell at them and send them out, feeling satisfied from the look of fear on their faces. My dad however seemed just as angry as I was as he was relentless. With every maid I sent out of my room, a new one was sent in the next hour. I couldn’t understand him. He obviously didn’t care about my feelings or what I wanted so why was he so bothered about me eating or not?By the second day, I’d become weak fr
EVANORA’S POVI had no idea I could miss the training that much.The familiar movements as we threw punches and kicks, the grunts that erupted from us as a result, the stench of sweat, and the feeling after defeating Matthew- I missed it all so much though it had only been a few days.Truth was that I missed being in action. I missed doing things other than sulking and getting angrier with every passing second. Though wasn’t perfect, I missed my old life before it took its very dramatic turn.“I see you’ve gotten extremely good, princess,” Matthew commented as he took my hand. “To be honest, I was expecting a little slack from you considering you haven’t done any training or activity in the past couple of days.”“Too bad,” I snickered. “You didn’t get what you were expecting.”“Tell me,” he said as he dusted his hands. “What were you doing for the whole three days? Training secretly? Now that I think about it, you don’t seem like the kind of person to just sit around calmly doing noth
BLADE’S POV “Alpha Blade!” It took Adam’s loud voice, immediately pulling me out of my thoughts for me to realize how lost I had been. Forcing a neutral expression, I raised my head to meet him staring at me with furrowed eyebrows. “Oh. What were you saying?” “I said so many things so I don’t know which part exactly you missed,” he replied me, seeming irked. “Or were you even listening to me at all? Was I just speaking to myself all along?” “No, no,” I massaged my temples as I responded. “I was listening. Just got lost along the way. You were talking about recruits, weren’t you? Yeah, what about them?” “I was saying the Luna said she wants to choose the new sets herself,” he groaned. “It’s not like she was asking for your permission anyways. I was just informing you beforehand.” “Oh, thank you,” I nodded. “Alright then. If that’s all, I’ll be heading to my office. I have a pile of work waiting for me.” Ignoring the confused look on his face, I turned to walk in the direction of
BLADE’S POV My steps were slow as I approached the pack house. If there was anything I’d learned from staying out with the hope of seeing Evanora tonight, it was that I needed to find a way to have us stay together. As soon as possible at that. I was going to head to the library to go through all the texts again. Just maybe, the last time I checked wasn’t thorough enough so I was going to check again. I was going to go through every single text all over again until I finally found a way out. With a nod, I walked inside. It was dark already and all things being equal, dinner should have been served hours ago. My mother was supposed to be tucked in bed already with my Beta also preparing to retire for the day but apparently reverse was the case as I immediately spotted my Beta walking towards me. “Adam?” “The Luna asked about you earlier at dinner,” he said to me on approaching me. “I guessed you went to see your mate so I covered for you.” “Oh, thank you,” I breathed out. I didn
EVANORA’S POV “Princess Evanora, you are to head downstairs for breakfast in 20 minutes.”Rolling my eyes at the guard at the door’s comment, I got off my bed to head to the bathroom. I had woken up several minutes ago but purposely chose to remain on my bed to stall.The past few days had passed by with me hating every second of it. Though I was finally allowed out of my room, it made almost no difference as I still felt imprisoned.I was forced to spend my days in preparation for the wedding. I wasn’t given a choice as I was constantly reminded of the possibility of me getting locked up in the dungeon if I tried to act up.It was suffocating and extremely torturous, the only thing keeping me up throughout being the hole in my bathroom ceiling. I knew one day it would be over and I would finally be able to sneak past them and out of the house.Giving my little secret a final glance, I stepped out of the bathroom. I had no idea what they had planned for me today but whatever it was,
BLADE’S POVUnder normal circumstances, I wasn’t supposed to be heading to the woods with the hope of seeing Evanora after what happened the last time but given how far from normal our circumstances were, I couldn’t help but go again.I left the pack immediately after dinner. My mother might have noticed me leaving but after our last encounter of me banning her from my house, she knew better than to voice out her very useless opinions about me or my actions.Carefully and quietly, I headed toward our spot. Though my actions seemed to be proving otherwise, I still needed to be safe. I couldn’t afford to get into the hands of the guards that were most likely still going to be circling the area. Not like that. Not when I’d finally found a way out for me and my mate, Evanora.By the time I drew nearer to our spot, I could smell the strong scent of vampires hinting that the guards were not only present but had multiplied in number. They must have gotten the hint that a werewolf would be co
