Vanessa’s POV“I don't mind Vanessa, I knew you were pregnant all along” Elijah replied almost immediately, I couldn't believe my ears when Elijah said those words. It was like a whirlwind of emotions swept through me at that moment. Surprise, confusion, and even a hint of skepticism. I mean, how could someone who barely knew me be so accepting and understanding?“What!” I exclaimed I thought reminding him about my pregnancy would push him away, but instead, he was here telling me that he did not mind.“I mean it Vanessa, there is something about you that keeps drawing me closer” he replied calmly. As he spoke, I couldn't shake off the nagging doubt that lingered in the back of my mind. It was like a voice whispering, "Can you trust him?" I questioned his motives and wondered if there was something hidden beneath his seemingly accepting words.“I don't understand Elijah, you met me a few days ago,” I said looking at him all confused, Pas
Evelyn's POVMy heart skipped a beat as Drake's words hung in the air, I felt a rush of adrenaline surging through my veins, my mind struggling to comprehend the weight of his revelation. My eyes widened, the color draining from my face as a mixture of shock and confusion overtook me. It was as if time itself had frozen, leaving me suspended in this moment of disbelief.I could feel my brows furrow, a deep crease forming in the center of my forehead. Thoughts raced through my mind, colliding with one another in a chaotic whirlwind. How could this be true? I thought Dante genuinely had feelings for my sister, how come he had another girlfriend?Anger began to simmer beneath the surface, fueling the fire within me. It was a raw, burning sensation that threatened to consume my very being.My lips parted slightly as if searching for words that refused to form. I wanted to speak, to voice my disbelief, my anger, my hurt. But all that escaped
Vanessa’s POV “That’s the end of today’s section,” Elijah said as my training for today came to an end.“So what’s my rating from one to ten” I asked between breaths eager to know if I was making any progress.After I told Elijah about wanting to have something done he decided to train me in self-defense, at first I was reluctant because of my pregnancy but his consideration for my condition was evident from the start. When we started he approached the training with a gentle touch, understanding the delicate state I was in. It was a unique experience, teaching me how to defend myself in case I was in danger.We always start with some basic warm-up exercises, focusing on stretching and breathing techniques. Elijah emphasized the importance of maintaining a calm and centered mindset, knowing that it would benefit both me and the baby. He patiently guided me through each movement, making sure I felt comfortable and supported every step of
Evelyn's POV"Is Dante back?" I asked my handmaiden for the hundredth time today, when I got to the palace yesterday I was told he led a search party to look for Vanessa and he hasn't returned since then."No, but I heard from one of the guards that he might be back today" Lilian replied her attention was solely on the clothes she was folding. "Do you know if my sister has been found?" I asked curiously, if she knew about Dante returning today she might have information on whether they found Vanessa or not. "I don't think so my lady, if they did they would have sent a message to the palace" she replied plainly, a part of me felt relieved that my sister hadn't been found. Because she coming back means I will have to go back to that nonsense pack that I just left. I don't wish her bad but I hope she never returns."Very well then, inform me when he comes back," I said to her, I needed to show my sympathy to Dante immediately after he returned so he could see how worried I was about
Dante’s POV“Are they ready for me?” I asked my head guard as I head toward the meeting room, I had called for a council meeting to discuss a way forward about the search for Vanessa.“Yes my lord, they are waiting for you” he replied immediately.“Okay, go and confirm if the other search party is back I will join you later” I ordered, before dismissing him.As I walked into the council meeting my mind was filled with a mix of emotions, frustration, desperation, and a glimmer of hope. The search for Vanessa had been fruitless, and I was grasping at any chance to find my beloved wife.The weight of responsibility rested heavily on my shoulders as I approached the council members. They were the wise elders of our community, the ones who held the knowledge and experience that could potentially guide me in our search. So I was hoping they would be able to help in my search for my wife and unborn child.I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing thoughts and calm the storm of emotion
Evelyn’s POVI headed to the garden after the disappointment of not getting to meet Dante before he stepped out again, I have been in the palace for two days and I haven't met the reason why I am here.As I stepped into the garden, the crisp embrace of fresh air welcomed me, carrying the earthy scent of blooming flowers and dew-kissed grass. The sunlight filtered through the swaying leaves, casting a warm glow over the vibrant hues of nature. The gentle rustle of leaves and the distant chirping of birds created a soothing symphony, creating a serene backdrop for my thoughts.I found solace in the rhythmic dance of the wind, which brushed against my face with a delicate touch. The fragrance of blossoms mingled in the air, invigorating my senses as I strolled along the meandering path. Each step seemed to release stress, grounding me in the present moment.As I settled on a weathered bench, the garden revealed its full splendor. The vivid
Dante's POV The click of the office door caught me off guard, and when I turned to see Evelyn standing there, a wave of surprise washed over me. Vanessa's disappearance had cast a shadow over everything, and seeing her sister in my office stirred a mix of emotions that swirled within me.Evelyn's presence was unexpected, and I couldn't shake the memory of the last encounter between the two sisters. Their falling out had been intense, leaving a rift that seemed insurmountable. And I couldn't help but feel like I was part of the reason for their beef, making the mere sight of Evelyn in my office a puzzle that begged to be solved.As she entered, there was a fleeting hesitation in her eyes, a vulnerability that contradicted the stern facade she had worn during their argument. I could sense the weight of concern in her gaze, a genuine worry that surpassed the animosity that had defined their relationship."I know this must be difficult for you, I want to be here for you" Evelyn began, he
Chapter. 73Dante’s POV“So where could she have run off to?” I asked my head guard, it's been weeks since Vanessa ran away and we haven't manage to get any Information about her whereabouts.“We have no idea my lord, but wherever she is, she doesn't want to be found,” my head guard said taking me up by surprise, this is the first time he has given his own opinion about the search since we started.“What if she is in danger? We can't just assume she is fine” I said resting my hand on my jaw, frustration evident in my voice. At this point, I need an opinion from someone who is not connected to Vanessa in any way. At least he has nothing to lose or gain by giving his opinion.“If she was in danger I believe we would have found out by now, all the information we were able to gather showed that she left the pack successfully on her own accord” he replied plainly, I get the point he is driving at but it doesn't change the fact that Vanessa is pregnant and could be in danger out there alone
