Daniel's P.O.V

Footsteps.

I heard the wooden floor creaking as my eyes snapped open. I looked at my tired little flower who was sleeping with her mouth little open as she breathed through it. There were strands of hair on her face.

Cute.

I ran my free hand gently over her as I removed the hair from her face. Then gently picked up her head from my hand as I placed it on the pillow. Then, getting up slowly, trying my very best not to wake her up.

As I stood on the edge of the bed and look at her face. The realization struck me. We mated temporarily yesterday. Yeah, yesterday since it was like a little past midnight. I picked up my boxers from the floor and put them on as I walked over to her side and pulled the covers over her.

Kissing her face gently, I walked up to the door to check up on the sounds of footsteps. As I opened the door. I came in contact with a Henry who had his hand raised as if he was about to knock on the door.

Seeing me standing there, he immediately put his hand

    Eleanor's P.O.V Cold. It was too cold. I was feeling as if needles were pricking my skin. I tossed and turned but I couldn't find the warmth I was searching for.I patted the space next to me. Empty. It was empty. My eyes shot open. My side of the bed was empty. Where is Daniel?And, as if to answer that question he entered the room, half naked and half lost in his thoughts."Daniel?" I called him out but he didn't turn around as a chill ran down my back.Why am I getting a bad vibe?"DANIEL!" I shouted his name out as he finally turned around to face. No reply. He just stared at me with a blank look on his face."Daniel, say something. Where are you coming from?" I asked, panicking a bit as I got up from the bed, forgetting all about my bareness as I ran up to him and hugged him. But, instead of relaxing his body grew stiffer under my touch. Letting him go, I looked up at his face as I palmed his face. "Daniel?""You lied to me, Eleanor." He said, looking me right in the eye maki

    Daniel's P.O.V "You... You weren't.... You weren't there."Eleanor's trembling voice pierced my ears as she hung on my neck sobbing uncontrollably, leaving me dumbfounded for a moment.Fuck. I screwed up.As I regained my senses I held her in my arms as I patted her back gently, whispering sweet nothings in her ears hoping that she would calm down. But, sadly I was successful only in making her cry more.Heaving a big sigh, I picked her up in my arms as I walked to the bed as I sat down on it's edge with a terrified, crying Eleanor on my lap. Just what happened that shook her emotionally this much? I do accept that I wasn't here when she woke up but that wouldn't have terrified the Eleanor I know. The Eleanor I know would have ran around the whole house searching and if she didn't find me, she would have searched the world till she did and then beat me up for breaking my promise.For some reason my heart was beating in my chest erratically telling me there was some other reason. And,

    Eleanor's P.O.V "But, where were you, Daniel?" The only floating question in my mind had finally left my mouth. And, as it did everything seemed to have stopped. We just stared at each other in silence as we gave each other the time. The time needed by him to find the right way to answer the question I've asked. And, the time needed by me to prepare myself to hear that answer.My hand was still in his hair as I felt it's silkness on my fingertips. After five minutes into the silence I felt as if I was ready and somehow without me speaking he also knew as he opened his mouth to speak. "Flower, I was with Henry. I actually woke up to the sound of footsteps and decided to check what was going on. Henry and Petroka actually came around midnight.""Midnight? What were they doing in the woods that late?" I asked as my eyes widened upon receiving the information that had just pierced my ears.My first initial worry which caused my reaction was them getting hurt by vampires."Hunting." Dan

    Daniel's P.O.V "Flower, I..." I trailed off as my mind went to the rest of the talk I had with Henry. I couldn't tell her. And, she can never know either. That I'm a Vampire King. I won't let my world shatter apart just because of a title and my lineage. Never. "Daniel?" Eleanor called out my name bringing me out of my thoughts. I pushed aside the jumbled thoughts as I hugged her. I needed it. I really did.That hug maybe left her shocked for a while because she didn't hug me for a while. At least not till she heard my trembling voice."Sorry." I didn't know what else to tell her. I didn't want her to know something that would have separated her from me forever. I just didn't. And, maybe it was very cowardly of me to hug her just because I needed comfort and I didn't want her to see my face.A face that was lying to her for it's own happiness. Nothing felt tougher than this moment. And, the worst part was that it was passing away at an excruciating painful pace."Daniel, it's okay

    Eleanor's P.O.V "It won't, El." Hearing the words, leave his mouth my heart started beating erratically in my chest.Was he saying that he was going to leave me? Or, was he hinting that he found out that I am Knife? Was his family not going to accept me? Had my identity overpowered his love for me?The next few moments felt like everything including my heartbeat and breathing stopped. And, just when I felt like I could have died, his laughter floated right into my ear."It won't survive, El. It has to survive. Because we'll treat it like Danielle, like our child. We'll work on it. We'll feed it with happiness. Find out the reason why it cried. Pacify it when it runs out, slamming the door in anger. Adjust it a little so that it will be love us both. But, not as equals. Not as equals. But, as leaders in whatever we do." Daniel continued as oxygen finally found its way to me. I could finally breathe as I felt his hand run over my head. It was the best feeling in the world. No body had p

    Daniel's P.O.V The sounds of birds chirping pierced my ears as I woke up. But, waking up directly without any preparations turned out to be a very wrong choice. All because of the damn sunlight entering through the window dancing as they fell on my eyes making me squint. I couldn't open them fully no matter how hard I tried. And, that made me feel really powerless. Which is a pretty bad experience. Damn! I couldn't even sleep enough and it's morning. Practically, I shouldn't even be awake right now since vampires sleep during morning but here I am.Finally adjusting to the irritable sunlight, I opened my eyes and the scenery that greeted me was literally heaven. I guess what they say is true. After suffering, there's heaven. And, where does my heaven lie? Of course, in my Eleanor. Damn, that sounds good. My Eleanor. Getting off the bed, I wrapped the blanket around my torso. Yeah, I was sleeping stark-naked next to my soulmate. So, what about it?As all my senses finally started

I kind of knew he would forget after everything that happened last night. But, that doesn't mean I pass my chance of having fun with a confused Daniel. "You forgot?" I faked a gasp as I stared at him with a hurt face.Seeing my reaction, he raked his hands through hair as he closed his eyes trying really hard to remember what his mind has forgotten. "Your reactions are telling me that you really don't remember, Daniel. How could you even forget? It's so hurtful." I expressed my words in fake pain as I looked at a Daniel who was ready to bury himself six feet under the grave because of the amount of guilt I've laid on his shoulders."El, I'm really sorry. I really don't seem to remember anything after yesterday's hectic and tired night. I still can't get how there's not even a shread of sleep in your eyes. But, that's really really besides the point

    Daniel's P.O.V My heart beat practically stopped. Yes, it stopped when her sentence dragged but I could finally breathe when she finished.""You are a little wrong, boyfriend. I'm not possessive. I'm... territorial."Territorial. The word finally opened the gateway for oxygen in my lungs. I seriously couldn't breathe for a while during that dramatic of Eleanor's.Before, I could say anything else. She continued, "Don't you like it?"I swear, flower was enjoying teasing me way too much today. First, Danielle. Then, clothes. Now, this.But, somehow all of these made me smile and fall in love with her more. These little nooks and corners of her personality were what made her not the one people perceived her to have while she was Knife. A result of whatever horrid that has been done to her. Whatever bad fate had in storage for her."I love it. And, I love you, Eleanor. No matter what happens. No matter what anyone else says. I love you and I will love you till the world meets its end and

    Eleanor's P.O.V We rode on the horse for approximately two hours before we arrived at Henry's castle where the guards opened the gates, letting the four of us in.From under the hood of my cloak, I watched a young lady run in our direction followed by a man and a woman.Daniel dismounted the horse, gently picking up Serphy and placing her on the ground as I did the same with Rayn."Dad! You're here!" The young lady screamed as she jumped at Daniel, making him laugh as he twirled her around, placing her on the ground as she began to chatter. "I've made lots of preparations for mom's birthday this time, dad. Will she come back this year?" Danielle... My baby..."Hello, elder sister!" I watched as Serphy jumped beside Daniel, shaking Danielle up."Ummm... Hello, love. Who are you?" Danielle asked crouching down a little shocked. However, she masked it quick enough with a smile for Serphy to ever know. "I'm your little sister!" Serphy chirped as Danielle's face hardened. Danielle snap

    Eleanor's P.O.V"Mom, how did the table break? And, did you cry?" Serphina asked as she walked in my direction."There's someone in the kitchen!" Rayn finally spoke after a long while, making my body grow tense as he walked in its direction."Wait! You can't go there!" I tried to stop Rayn from entering. However, instead of him, Serphina ran into the kitchen."Hey! That's the man we met in the park! Mom, why is he here?"Great! I am so screwed.I quickly rushed after Serphina, my heart pounding in my chest. As I entered the kitchen, I found Serphina pointing towards Daniel holding a glass of water in his hands."Daniel!" Couldn't this guy stay still until I sent the twins back to their room?"What!? I was hiding. It's your son's fault he found out," Daniel spoke as he placed the glass on the counter, coming out from hiding."My brother is very smart. Humph. Even if you stayed still, he would have found you out," Serphina spoke, holding her nose high as she praised her brother. "But, I

    Eleanor's P.O.V "You live here?" Daniel asked, his eyes staring at the wooden cottage. "Eleanor, my children grew up here?""It's better than a castle and a luxury life with a sword hanging over their heads instead." I retorted, rolling my eyes as I stood back on my own two feet again. "Coming inside?" I asked the man staring at my house, criticizing it surely inside his head."You know the one in Black Forest is fancier than this. You should have stayed with the children there if you had to.""I didn't want them to be isolated and have no friends, Daniel.""Well, to protect all of us you decided to isolate them from their sister and me." I sighed, frustrated with Daniel's lack of understanding. "It was for their own safety, Daniel. And, yours and Danielle's as well. Do you want to come in or not?"Moon Goddess! Please help me or I might smack this man today.Daniel crossed his arms, a disapproving frown on his face as he entered the wooden cottage behind me.I locked the door once

    Eleanor's P.O.V "Okay. So, we are here at The Orphanage. You can go to the park and play with the kids. I'll help the adults. Don't create trouble. Am I clear?" I looked at the twins, strictly as they looked at each other before saluting me."Yes, mom!"And, the next moment I knew, both of them were running in the direction of the park."They are so cute, Ele." Crystal said, chuckling at them, making me sigh."When you marry Eden, you can have your own pair. Let me see how cute they look to you then." I replied as I watched Crystal turn red, making me chuckle as both of us walked to the backyard of The Orphanage."Hey, Ele! Hey, Crystal!" Martha, the dean of the Orphanage and everyone else greeted me and Crystal. "Hey guys! What are you all doing?""Sewing new clothes for the orphans, Ele. Come join us!" Martha replied, motioning for Crystal and me to join the circle of the village women.I smiled and joined Martha and the other women, sitting down and grabbing a needle and thread.

    Daniel's P.O.V "What do you what?" I asked the man standing in front of my horse. "You must pay up if you want to cross the forest." The man spoke in a rough voice as he withdrew his sword, holding it out.Ugh! I can fight. But, why waste time? I'm feeling very relentless. I must go visit Danielle quick and get rid of this feeling. "How much do you want!?" I asked the bald man as I stared at him."3 golds." The hell!? What a rip off! But, whatever. I got no time. Be cool, Daniel. Just pay and leave. You don't need to kill these bastards.I dipped my hand in my pocket as I pulled out three gold coins in his direction. "Can I go now!?" I demanded impatiently, holding the coins towards the man.The man sneered and quickly snatched the gold coins from my outstretched hand. "You may pass," he grumbled, stepping aside to clear a path for me and my horse.I wasted no time in urging my steed forward, eager to continue my journey. The encounter had left a sour taste in my mouth, but I coul

    Eleanor's P.O.V Okay.Balloons. Check.Gifts. Check.Breakfast. Check.Flowers. Check.Birthday Cake? Oh! I kept it in the fridge so that it cools down.I walked to the fridge as I opened the door, a gust of cool air hit my face. I smiled, knowing that the cake inside would soon be the centerpiece of our celebration. I carefully took out the cake and placed it on the kitchen counter, admiring its perfectly frosted layers.The kids will be so happy. I smiled staring at the cake when my stupid subconsciousness struck me.Happy birthday to you too. Thanks. I replied as I rolled my eyes. But, my birthday is something now that doesn't exist. I'm happy my children didn't have to go through all that I experienced. Isn't it nice?You're trying to live your life through them, Eleanor. Nonetheless, smooth lie it was, wasn't it? I'm an orphan so neither do I know or celebrate my birthday. My subconsciousness retorted as my smile hit the wooden floor. There have been lots of eventful things

    Daniel's P.O.V "Your Majesty, the Sapphires are the best in the Empire. The mine will be of utmost help to the Empire." My eyes stared at the fraud merchant standing in front of me as I gazed at him with icy cold eyes.Are these people stupid? They really think I wouldn't see right through their lies?"Baron Sendor. If the Sapphires are so good. Please keep the mine. I'll write the deed of the land for you personally. Remember, to pay the taxes of course. You wouldn't want your head detached from your body after all." I spoke coldly, making Baron Sendor tremble as he stared at the ground. I had dealt with enough corrupt officials and conniving businessmen to recognize when someone was trying to deceive me. Baron Sendor's attempt to sell me on the supposed value of the Sapphires was transparent and insulting.I could see the fear in his eyes as my words sank in. The threat of losing his head, a fate that had befallen many others who had attempted to deceive or betray me, was enough t

    Eleanor's P.O.V "Mom! It's all Rayn's fault!" Serphina's chirpy voice rang in my ears as I stared at the twins standing in front of me drenched in mud."Rayn? Have something to say for yourself?" I crossed my arms and looked at my son, awaiting his response. Rayn, the older of the twins, seemed unfazed by the accusation. He calmly glanced at Serphina and then turned his attention back to me.He was a replica of him..."It's not entirely my fault, Mom," Rayn said, trying to defend himself as I snapped out of my thoughts. "We were playing tag near the pond, and Serphina tripped and fell in. I couldn't help it. But, I did get her out of the pond like a good brother would and didn't let her die by herself. Which I regret now because she pulled me in too."Serphina huffed, crossing her muddy arms over her chest. "That's not true, Rayn! You pushed me! So, I pulled you in."Actually, neither of them are like me. They both are little Daniels. I miss Danielle. Hic... my big baby was so cute.

    Daniel's P.O.V Nervous.I was nervous as I walked back and forth in the hallway. What was I thinking? What the hell was I thinking when I let her go? I should go...No. Let's wait a moment. I'm pretty sure that Eleanor would stay. She would leave me given the chance. She wouldn't go, right?How much time has it been? Should I go back? Should I not? Should I wait a little longer?These thoughts were racing through my mind, causing my heart to pound and my palms to grow sweaty. I couldn't help but imagine a little picture in my head of me watching Eleanor walk away, her figure becoming smaller and smaller until she disappeared completely.I should go back. I should go back. She wouldn't have left. I'm just worried for no reason! Eleanor wouldn't leave me. She wouldn't. What are the odds she wouldn't leave me after all that I've done to her? What are the odds she would stay? What are the odds that when I walk into the room that she would run into my arms and hug me? What are the odd
