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
EVANORA’S POV"I love you, Blade.”I loved him. More than I’d ever loved anyone or anything. He made me so happy and I could only wonder how I spent a whole week without him.He smiled, his grip around me tightening. “I love you too, Evanora.”I giggled, feeling his lips lightly descend on my forehead. Memories of how those lips explored different parts of my body just a few minutes ago rushed back, making me blush and then press my head against his chest.“Are you shy?” he asked, his breath hitting my skin as he watched me hide my face in embarrassment. “Are you?”“No, I’m not.”"Then why are you hiding your face?” he asked again, this time tilting backward to expose my face. With a light smile, he raised my chin with his fingers and then looked me directly in the eye. “Look at me, Evanora.”Before I could try to disobey him, he brought his face closer to mine and placed a light kiss on my lips. “How’s that? Does that refresh your memory and take away your shyness?”“Blade!” I punche
BLADE’S POVJust when I thought everything was finally getting better, a new obstacle just always managed to spring up.A hiss alongside a groan escaped my lips an uncountable amount of times as I walked back to my pack house signifying how distressed I was. I was pissed, mad, and annoyed at myself. Just when I thought I was pulling myself out of a problem, I’d managed to successfully land into another.A war. My pack was in no way prepared for a war and I had no idea what type of reactions the news would birth. We had enough soldiers to fight but a war like this was just totally unexpected.Not only was it unexpected, but it was also one I didn’t want. I was trying to look for a way to make things better between the wolves and vampires and there was no way in hell that getting into a war with them would bring the desired results. It was only going to fuelling the already existing hatred between the clans and if it gets out of hand, could result in conflicts way beyond both my and the
EVANORA’S POV“Let me go!”At my words, I yanked my arm away from my dad aggressively, immediately shooting him a glare. I had silently given in when the guards dragged me all the way from the woods back to the palace. However, I finally ran out of patience when I was transferred to my dad.I couldn’t say I was embarrassed as I had gotten more than used to my dad downgrading me in the presence of the guards but that night just felt different. With the prince gleaming by his side and guards keenly watching, he dragged me through the palace gates, up the stairs, and to his office.“You!” my dad yelled, pointing an accusing finger at me. “Do you not even think?!”“I do!” I yelled in an equally loud voice. “And that is why I know I do not want any of these. I have a mind of my own and I do not belong to you so stop treating me like I’m some object or toy to you. I have every night to my choices and wants.”“Of course,” he dramatically nodded his head. “After spending so much time with tha
EVANORA’S POVI spent hours curled up in a corner of my room, sobbing and allowing myself get drowned in a pool of my own thoughts.I couldn’t bring myself to be positive- all my thoughts circling around how all that happened was my fault. How I had brought so much chaos to Blade’s pack and though I hated to admit it, my coven too. My dad and the prince were also to blame but in the long run, it was all my fault.If only I had kept silent. If only I had managed to contain my anger. If only I didn’t provoke my dad and the Prince then my dad wouldn’t have angrily decided to wage war against Blade’s pack.Letting out a groan, I pulled my knees closer to me. As expected after hours of crying, I could feel a headache on its way. My body felt sore, my feet numb and definitely, my face was going to be bloated.With a sigh, I rose to my feet and drag myself to the bathroom. Glancing at my secret passageway and quickly dismissing thoughts of running away again, I moved towards the tap and turn
