EVANORA’S POVI walked back home smiling like an idiot as memories of the night came flooding back.Blade. He was like a drug and hell, I was addicted and had no plans on breaking free from his grip on me.I got back to the palace feeling ecstatic and was about to climb the stairs leading to my room when I spotted Matthew.Excited, I waved at him and he walked towards me."Look at that," he said as he approached me. "All giddy and obviously just returning from somewhere you shouldn't be."I smiled at him, unable to hide my emotions. "Fine, you caught me.""Evanora-""No, stop," I placed my palm over his mouth to stop him from talking then laughed. "I know what you're going to say so just don't.""Fine," he replied, shaking his head. "I won't."I smiled at him in return and randomly looked around the hall, my eyes immediately meeting my dad watching me at a corner of the room. "Oh, my dad's back?""Yes, he got back about an hour ago," he replied me. "You're lucky he didn't ask for you
BLADE'S POVThe distance from my pack to our spot in the woods wasn't that far but sometimes felt like a journey lasting forever.And sometimes it felt like a really short distance equivalent to the one from my room to my office.The distance was always determined by my emotions as I walked through the forest, having Evanora surround my thoughts, the path felt very short and in no time, I found myself at my pack.I smiled as I stepped into the palace, surprisingly replying to all the greetings and bows I received on the way with warm smiles. Anyone could tell I was in a good mood and I was sure as hell they all wanted it to last just like I did.That was what Evanora did to me. The effect she had on me. She made me happy. Made me soft and in the long run, made me love her all over again. She was perfect for me. As my mate, my Luna, and the person I wanted to be with.The smile, however, vanished from my face as I spotted my mother walking towards me as I headed towards my room.She c
EVANORA'S POV"I win this time.""No, we're even," I corrected Matthew as I took his stretched hand and got up. "I beat you earlier, remember?"I chuckled and I watched him shake his head and wait for me to regain my balance again. "So one more round?""Bring it on," he said, maintaining eye contact with me. "Oh, by the way, your father said he was going to kill me if I ever hurt you.""What?" I paused the punch I was about to throw at him. "What? Why? Isn't that a bit too intense since it's natural for me to get hurt while training?""Well that was what I thought too, initially," he replied. "Until I figured out he didn't mean during training. He didn't mean it that way. What did you do, Princess Evanora?"My hands immediately flew to clamp my mouth as I immediately realized what he was talking about. I'd managed to make my dad believe there was a thing between me and Matthew and as such he was simply trying to be a protective father."Oh my God, Matthew I'm so sorry.""So you did do
BLADE'S POVThe minute I got up from bed, I knew my day was going to be a very stressful one. I had to join in training the recruits and though it was something I did regularly, it suddenly felt like extra work to do.I got myself ready, skipped breakfast cause I knew my mother was going to be at the table and everything that happened the previous day was still fresh in my memory, and headed straight to the training ground for the recruits.I had managed to have a good night's rest but the minute I thought of my mother, my mind went back to being troubled. I continued to think of how she found out Evanora was a vampire and what she was going to do with that information. My thoughts were however interrupted by chants of greetings as I set foot in the training ground. I looked up to meet dozens of recruits already lined up, all waiting for my presence.I chuckled at the sight of them. Ever since my last outburst, they had all become extra diligent not even a single one of them daring t
EVANORA'S POV"Evanora?"The voice was followed by a gentle knock and then my dad walked into my room. "I was told you're ready. I guess you actually are."I looked at my reflection in the mirror and nodded. Admiring my outfit one more time, I smiled at myself. "Yes," I said then got up to join my dad on his feet. "How are things going outside?"Though my presence wasn't requested yet, the ceremony had started a few minutes ago. From my window, I could catch a glimpse of how things were going. Guests were pouring in, quickly dispersing and littering the whole garden. There were tables around, some filled with different delicacies and others housing glasses and jars of blood."It's going well," my dad replied me. "It's bubbling and everyone can't wait to see you.""Really?" I felt excited and anxious at his words. "Of course," he moved closer to me and placed a kiss on my head. "You're the princess after all. Heavens, you look so beautiful. I almost can't believe you're my daughter.
EVANORA'S POV"Princess Evanora."I smiled at my dad as he referred to me as a princess as I walked towards the dining. Ever since the coronation had ended, he barely called me by name again without adding the prefix 'Princess'."Good morning, dad," I said then took my seat. "How are you doing?""I'm great," he replied to me with a joyful voice. "Splendid, in fact. Tell me. How was your night? Did you have a good night's rest? And how was your coronation? You enjoyed it, didn't you?""One question at a time dad," I laughed lightly as he bombarded me with questions. "I am fine. The coronation was great and I had a good night's rest. Thank you.""That's great," he smiled then filled his mouth. "I saw you trying to mingle with the members of the coven. How did it go? Were you able to make some friends?""I could have if you didn't drag me away almost immediately," I said with a playful scowl. "Remember?""Don't say it like that," he laughed lightly. "I had a good course, didn't I? I intr
EVANORA’S POV“Are you shy?”I blushed at Blade’s words, uselessly trying to cover my naked body to hide it from him. “No, I’m not.”“Oh, yeah?” he pulled me closer to him, pressing my body against his. I could literally feel our skins in contact, igniting an unexplainable spark within me. “Look at me then.”I raised my head from his naked lower body to look at his chest then have my gaze meet his. He looked hot. So hot just as he did minutes ago as we had sex. His gaze was intent, staring at every inch of my body and in the long run, managing to get me to blush from excitement.Smiling at me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for a hug, kissing my back as he did. His hands stroke my hair gently and I just knew what was about to come next.“Do you have to leave now?” I asked, knowing after he showered kisses on my head, he was going to get up to bid me farewell for the night. “Evanora-”“No,” I cut him off, shaking my head. “Don’t leave. At least, not yet.”In res
BLADE’S POVI chuckled to myself as I watched Evanora scurry out of the woods. It was a sight to see as she threw her clothes over her body, I couldn’t help but just stare. My smile quickly dissolved as I remembered I also had somewhere to be. Just like her, I had an appointment and thought it was just with the recruits to join them in training, it was just as important. I immediately got fully dressed and set back to my pack. I had no idea what the time exactly was but I knew by the time I would be getting to the pack, they would either be almost done with their morning training or completely done.After a couple of minutes more of walking, I finally arrived at my pack land and immediately headed to the training ground, ignoring most of the greetings on my way.Just as predicted, I stepped in to meet the recruits giving Adam a final bow, signifying the end of the training for a day. I groaned as I watched them disperse then walked towards Adam.He spotted me coming and immediately
