ELVA'S POV After breakfast the next morning, I noticed that the nausea which I had been feeling due to Nolan's presence back then at the party had vanished. Smiling had been very difficult for me until this morning. Lu and his mate had been so clingy since the previous night. They rarely came out of his room. I wondered if he had already claimed her or if he was waiting to get to know her well enough before doing that. Darian had woken up very late. He was coming down for breakfast when I was racing up the stairs to get back to my room. He was wearing a furry brown coat, with his hands tucked into the pockets of the coat. The morning was chilly to some extent, but since I got up from the bed and ran around the castle, I'd felt warmer. "Good morning!" I hugged him. His arms slid out of his pockets, going down my waist and circling around it, and then he pulled me closer. "You're lighting up the world with your smile this morning, Elva," he said, his affectionate gaze buried dee
DARIAN'S POV"Hey, hey! Calm down now, okay? Drop the knife, please. Slowly, slowly…" I gradually approached Melinda, Lucius' mate."You too!" She screamed at me, "Get any closer and I'll kill myself!"She raised the knife to her neck, her grip unwavering."Oh no. Elva, do something about this," I whispered.Neither Elva nor I had found out that the cause of the aggressive situation between the two couples who were meant to be having one of the best moments of their lives.Elva closed her eyes and in what felt like ten seconds, Melinda fainted. Lucius caught her before she could fall to the floor.Before we could even ask what happened, he muttered, "No one told me she had psychological issues."At this, Elva's eyes popped with disbelief. "What!"I found a sachet of pills in her purse which seemed to be something she should be taking frequently."Look," he snuck his hands into his pocket and brought out a sachet of pink tablets of medicine.Elva's mum rushed over and took it from him.
DARIAN'S POV I was taking a walk in the garden lost in thoughts. Thank God I've patched things up with Elva just thinking about us fighting made me scared of how our relationship would turn out I hate Nolan for everything that happened between us, but I am also thankful to him for rejecting her otherwise she wouldn't be mine which made her here with me today. I was still thinking about it when I heard footsteps. I turned to the direction it was coming from and I saw Elva come towards me with a sweet smile on her face. She looked even more beautiful under the moonlight with her pink nightwear and robe. "Hey my beautiful princess, you look stunning," I asked, bringing her towards me. She came to hug me slipping her hands around my waist and circling it while making me lower my head to kiss her. She pulled me closer to her body and I hugged her. "So, you wanna tell me why you're out here all by yourself this late at night?" She asked, " I was just having a little fresh air th
DARIAN'S POV I always suspected you were hiding something from me and tonight just proved it. " What are you hiding from me, and why won't you let me mark you?" I asked angrily " It's not like I don't want you to mark me, it's just that I can't let you mark me." She said looking sad. " Why?" I asked. " I can't tell you " " You can't or you won't?" I asked, looking even more angry. " I don't know, I just can't say it," she said. " What am I to you then?" I said out of frustration " Hum?" she said looking confused " What am I to you?" I repeated the question again. " You are my lover," she answered with a confused face " Then why won't you let me mark you? And why won't you tell me what you are hiding, I have the right to know!"I said. She stayed silent and turned to the other side of the bed, sitting on the edge using the blanket to cover herself. I was already boiling in anger, I got up, took my clothes from the ground, wore it, and stormed out of her room. I went straig
ELVA's POV "He should have died there that night," Darian said with anger. " I am sorry, what!" I looked surprised at what he said. He said that looking so angry, I just kept staring at him like an idiot. " Now you know why I didn't let you mark me, well you can't mark me until the mate bond is broken," I said feeling hopeless and looking sad. " Your mother seems concerned about you," he said all of a sudden. " My mother?" I said looking confused. " Yes, she had called me earlier to the throne room to talk about us not getting married, and letting our younger ones marry before us". " Really?"I said looking surprised. " Yes, she said that she wanted the family to continue its culture of the elder ones getting married before their young ones," he said We both went silent for a while until he said, "Why didn't your mate bond break?" " I don't know," I said feeling frustrated. " Then ask your wolf," " I actually haven't thought of that," I said, feeling like a fool. " Ruya" I
ELVA's POV"Wait, why should I be the one to take her out?" I asked out of confusion." Apart from me you are the only person that can cope with her mental illness," he said with a pleading voice." Okay, so what are we going to do there together?" I said, sounding like a fool. I mean what do people do in festival periods, I thought to myself even sounding like a bigger fool." You know what, let me check my schedule first," I slapped myself instantly after saying that." Sis, please help me out here, I have a meeting in another kingdom," Lucius kept begging me and I finally agreed to do it.And he started dancing around the room like a baby that was just given a piece of candy.I have never seen him so happy like this before, I thought to myself while smiling at him." Hey, you already took your bath and dressed up but look at me, I am still in my nightgown and feeling dirty," I said with a poker face.He laughed and apologized for keeping me waiting and watching him dance around t
ELVA'S POVAfter breakfast this morning, I noticed that the anger which I had been feeling due to Nolan's presence back when he broke into the castle had gone.Smiling was very difficult for me until this morning.Lu did not come down for breakfast this morning when I was racing to get back to my room.He was wearing a furry black coat, with his hands tucked into the pocket of the coat.The morning was chilly to some extent, but since I got up from bed and ran around the castle, I felt warmer." You're lighting up the world with your smile this morning, Elva," he said, his burning into mine, "what's the good news Sis"." Oh," I chuckled. " It's nothing, I just feel happy that's all", I said smiling." Well, that's good news, he smiled. "Well, I have a meeting to get to and you have a festival to prepare for. Melinda is in the room getting ready," he said, going down the stairs.Oh, I totally forgot, and I felt like an idiot for forgetting."Wait, has she taken her pills this morning,
Elva's POV I was angered even more, and suddenly the man fell down with blood gushing out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. I turned to look at Melinda. She was looking at the man with bloodshot eyes. I quickly covered the girl's eyes so as not to see what was happening. I used the mind link to tell Melinda to stop what she was doing, Thankfully she heard me and stopped, Mark came to stand in front of the man who looked like he was dying light on the ground for a while. He told the other two rough men who looked terrified at what just happened. He told them to get lost. They quickly picked up the man who was lying on the ground and ran away. He saw the little girl who was hugging me. He tried to pull her away from me but I stopped him, he tried to say something but I didn't let him, I faced the little girl " Why were you crying and who were those men? '' I said with a soft voice. " My mommy and I were setting up the shop for the festival, I went outside for some air and saw
