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
EVANORA’S POV “Princess Evanora!” I froze as I heard him call out to me again in an even louder voice. Busted. That was exactly what I was. Remaining in that same position, I refused to turn to face him until I could literally hear his steps behind me. I shut my eyes, took a deep breath, and waited till he tapped me on the shoulder and turned me to face him. “Evanora,” his voice was harsh as he spoke to me. “Where the hell were you all these while? Where are you coming from?” “I-” “And don’t you dare lie to me,” he pointed a finger at me. “I know you weren’t home all night so you better just come clean about where you were all along!” I swallowed. He was obviously so mad and it had to be my first time witnessing him get consumed by so much rage. I didn’t dare utter a single word, having absolutely no courage to lie to him. “You aren’t going to respond?!” he grabbed me by the shoulders, letting me go almost immediately to shake his head and massage his temples. “While I was h
EVANORA'S POV I must have heard wrong. There was no way in hell my dad actually uttered those words. I tried to lighten my expression then raised my head to meet my dad and the prince both staring at me like they were expecting a response from me. I knitted my eyebrows and concentrated my gaze on my dad. "What did you say?" "Princess Evanora," he said in response. "Were you not listening to me?" "I got lost for a second," I replied to him. "I think I heard something wrong. What were you saying?" "We talked about how the vampires in the woods are being a threat." "Okay?" "And how we need to keep ourselves safe." "Okay." "And in conclusion," he said with a light smile. "How we think it'll be best you get married to prince Andrew. You two should get married." I blinked continuously and after a while, his words finally sank in. I didn't hear wrong. It was really happening. My dad was right by my side and telling me to get married to someone whose last name I didn't even know
