I looked to see Eve deep in thought. I silently watched her face contour in pain and I knew she couldn’t have been thinking about anything other than the day her friendship with Amanda ended.I opened my mouth to ask her a question the same time she threw me a question.“When last did—”“Have you heard from—”We both abruptly stopped and stared at each other in surprise and shock before stumbling upon our words to allow each other to speak.“I’m sorry, Evie! You can spe—”“Sorry! Why don’t you go fir—”We stopped again and burst out laughing after some seconds of silence again.“Why don’t you go first, Eve?”She took in a deep breath and looked at me for a while before looking down to play with her fingers. “Have you heard from Amanda?”I leaned back in my bed and cocked my head in thought before leaning forward again to try another dish. I didn’t want to eat my fill before tasting all so I decided to eat small portions of all.I picked up the Italian spaghetti to try it before lookin
She gasped and stepped back, bowing her head as she blushed. “Come with me?” She raised her head, “ Come where?” “To a restaurant? Or something? Do you want to keep standing like this?” She just stared at his handsome face. “Princess?” At his voice, she smiled and fell. He caught her immediately. She looked into his worried face. “Princess?? Did you have something to drink?”She nodded clumsily and smiled while steadily staring at him.For someone who was tipsy, she had such a straight gaze!“I’ll just take you home then, we won’t be able to have dinner like this.”All she did was giggle and he shook his head as he stopped a cab and asked for her address. After explaining to the driver, he put her in and was about to close the door when he smirked in his mind.3..2..1..“Wait!!” Harley realized he was not going with her and yelled at him, effectively stopping him in his tracks.He smiled and then reached for her outstretched hands. “Yes, baby girl?”.“Follow me home!!”“I c
He looked at me pointedly and all I could do was freak out because I was confused. He kept staring at me and I lost patience.“What??!” I barked at him and then tried to get down from his arms.He held on tight and rolled his eyes before making me freeze with his words, “They’re looking for you! It’s you they came for.”“Why are we here then? Why are we still standing here?? Why are they even after her? She’s just human!” Eve cried out in frustration.They ignored her last statement and Darius replied, “We’re waiting for the king’s order.”I just kept quiet, fear filling my body then I paused. What if it was Dante coming to look for her??“Do you know what the intruders looked like?? What creatures?”Her heart couldn’t stop beating fast and I couldn’t help but shiver in anticipation.All eyes turned to me and Darius sighed, “Vampires.”A flash of surprise crossed her gaze as she sighed in relief and her eyes brightened a bit hoping as a thought crossed my mind...Maybe Valdir could he
Waking up, Lorelei felt very disoriented and could remember hearing Liam’s voice in her sleep, reading their former favorite poem to her.She sighed and couldn’t believe they went downhill and he left her for her sister.Though she was disoriented, her eyes adjusted to the light and were met with several maids scurrying about in her room. She lifted the quilt on her frame to her chin in self-consciousness and though she was fully dressed beneath, being thrown into scenarios like this and having to forcefully accommodate people wasn’t something she enjoyed doing.The maids realized she was awake and swarmed around her like bees.She gasped in surprise and slight delight to realize that they were fairies!“Fairies!!”They nodded and continued to swarm around her, touching her hair and her face, and her skin. She laughed in delight.They were slightly smaller than her but not as small as they were depicted to be. They had pointed ears and small beautiful faces with wings and very long ha
LORELAs the “supposed” mate of the king, though I hadn’t been introduced as Queen yet, I was supposed to step up and comfort his subjects.Problem was, I wasn’t his mate and I was kidnapped but no one would ever believe me because their king is too loyal and empathetic to ever do such a thing- Darius’s words, not mine.Anyways, it wouldn’t even be a problem seeing that I had plans best left undisclosed to anyone including myself because at this point, as I didn’t know what creature they were and I hadn’t seen anyone be anything but advanced humans, I couldn’t guess or pick a creature. So I couldn’t tell if mind-reading was a part of their abilities.I didn’t even know many creatures so I couldn’t carelessly guess.Maybe I could visit their library?My eyes brightened and I stood straighter. This plan was going to be something I would enjoy executing.Perhaps I could use this opportunity of his absence to train secretly?The maid looked at me in concern and Eve looked to her mate, wor
Immediately after I got out of the ballroom and out of their scrutinizing gazes, I broke out into a run, taking off my glass slippers in the process. I had to send a message to the King.But the problem is.. where is he??I have no idea about his whereabouts...Entering my room, I pace for a while and in the process, spot a black shiny book under my pillow. I walk to my bed in haste and reach under the pillow to find that it was a phone.I couldn’t help but squeal in delight and appreciation. The first thought that crossed my mind was to reach out to Dante but quickly brushed it aside it could be a trap and doing so will be me falling into it.Opening it, I was stunned to see my picture as the wallpaper- A picture of me sleeping peacefully in my room at dusk. I unlocked it easily and searched through the phone to see it was new and void of information.Except for a contact no that was saved as Mate.The king’s no...I sneered in contempt and let out a sad smile while thinking if I sh
His loud voice boomed and fear gripped my heart uncontrollably, because of it. All his cabinet that stood before me instantly cowered at his voice and parted as he walked up to me in a few large strides when the throne room was as large as five or more queen-sized bedrooms.I calmed my heart and just coolly observed and watched him get closer. He reached out to gently grab my hand the minute he got to me and pulled me up twirling me around, desperately looking for any injury.Do NOT get irritated, do not get irritated.I chanted within me.His touch irritated me because no matter how attractive he might seem, he kidnapped me and acted as he pleased toward me. Besides I wasn’t one to fall easy because of a pretty face.Yes, I get attracted to a pretty face, but what matters to me the most is one’s actions and personality.I stepped back from his embrace a little to smile up at him.“I’m alright, thank you for your concern,” I spoke quite softly to him, looking up at him in what seemed
I looked to see Zane supporting my weight in panic and concern. I turned to him and requested something I needed very urgently.“Can you please take me to my room?”He lifted me up and sped to my room as fast as he could.He got to my room, opened the door, and dropped me on my bed. He covered me with the duvet and wished me a good rest before quietly leaving the room. I stared at the doors for some minutes before turning to sleep, the situation with Dante wearing me out immediately.***I woke up much later feeling more refreshed but not wanting to interact with anyone because I had done more than enough these past two days. I looked at my phone to see that I had slept for about four to five hours and it was evening already.I rolled over to stretch and remembered I had a book to read. I couldn’t help but pine for my family and to distract myself, I reached over to the bedside to notify the kitchen staff that I needed my dinner up here instead alongside a cup of hot chocolate.I dra
