BLADE'S POVI had changed and I knew it myself. Seeing Evanora every night had become the highlight of my day and I spent the rest of the days, counting down to the moment. I was mainly in a good mood as only got cranky when my time to go meet Eva was delayed.That morning was no different as I woke up feeling refreshed from Evanora's long embrace from the night before. I could still smell her around me, feel her gentle touch, and taste her lips so it only made sense that I was in another extremely good mood.I noticed my mother's absence during breakfast and honestly, I wasn't bothered. Getting on each other's nerves had become the only thing we did nowadays so it was better if we stayed out of each other's ways as much as we could.I headed to my office immediately after breakfast. Going out late every night and returning even later had its own disadvantage and it awfully included me getting more work to do during the day.I immediately got to work on getting there. I began going t
EVANORA'S POVMy day started on a very exciting note.I was having my breakfast and preparing to go over to Matthew's when I caught a familiar exciting glint in my dad's eyes."You seem excited," I commented and he immediately nodded in response. "Ah, I'm guessing something good happened. What is it? Tell me.""Of course, I will, calm down," he laughed lightly. "I don't really have a choice but to.""So what is it?""You're going to be having your dress fitting today," he said, my heart immediately skipping a beat. "You chose a dress for your coronation alongside your preferred decorations, remember? The seamstress would be coming in today to have you check it out.""Really?" I felt a spark of excitement as I let out. "Oh my God, it's so fast.""Fast?" He knitted his eyebrows. "Don't you want to…""No, it's not that," I quickly waved my hands. "I am excited. What I meant is I wasn't expecting the dress to come so soon.""Of course it would," he replied with a smile. "You're the prince
EVANORA'S POVI rolled in bed from my afternoon nap, my eyes immediately catching the now familiar glint of my necklace.I literally had nothing to do, because my dad had given me a whole day to rest without training. I wasn't complaining though. It was amazing to have a whole day to myself without having to train. After I was done getting my dress fitted, I simply headed back to my room and took a nap.Tired from my unusual nap, I got up and headed out of my room. I was getting bored and tired of having nothing significant to do. After thinking for a while, I headed to the training room to meet Matthew."Princess Evanora?" He was totally surprised to see me. "I wasn't expecting you here. You were asked to take the day off, right?""Yes, I was," I grunted out as I sat next to him on the floor. "I'm just currently bored to death.""Oh," he stared at me, suspiciously. "So you want to train now?""Nope," I shook my head. "I just came here to, you know, hang out."He stared at me even mor
EVANORA'S POVIt was no news that Blade lived in my head rent-free but after the previous night, I was sure he needed to start getting charged. And really high at that.I couldn't bring myself to concentrate on anything for longer than a few seconds without my mind wandering back to thoughts about Blade. I was curious, anxious, and worried about whatever his reason for not showing up the previous night was.He couldn't have found out the truth about me, could he? He wasn't giving me the silent treatment as punishment for lying to him for so long, was he? Quickly, I brushed those thoughts away. That couldn't have happened. It just couldn't.I stopped in my tracks as another wave of thoughts rushed through me. What if he was sick? What if he on his way to see me was attacked and was sick and dying on his bed at the moment?"No, no," I muttered to myself. That was just as impossible. He was the Alpha and a strong one at that. I'd witnessed him get into attack mode once and was sure it w
EVANORA'S POV I hated how going out to see Blade suddenly felt like a gamble. For some reason, he had managed to still stay in my mind throughout the whole day but what lurked in my mind alongside him were the witch's words.You should be careful of your actions, Princess Evanora because if you're not careful, they might cost you lives.Her words resonated in my head and brought along a new wave of confusion every time. Sure, she was a witch but did that involve her being able to go through people's thoughts? It scared me, even more, to think she probably knew what was going on in my life and could even foretell my actions could cost me lives. Lives? Whose? How?My mind was at war. One minute I was thinking about Blade and the other, I was thinking about what she possibly could have meant. I managed to go through the rest of the training with my thoughts and immediately headed to my room. Matthew was obviously not satisfied with my performance and that didn't bother me. I had a l
EVANORA'S POVI froze.I remained in the same position for close to a minute, unable to move or turn to face Blade. I was busted. My cover was all blown.I could barely bring myself to imagine the look on his face. Just the thought terrified me. My greatest fear had finally come to pass and in the worst way ever.I took a very deep exhale and slowly, turned to face him. I sent my gaze to the floor as I turned, taking almost another minute to raise it to meet his eyes.He looked confused as he stared directly at me. His eyebrows were knitted, his nose scrunched and his lips pursed as he tilted his head like he was trying to process everything that happened barely five minutes ago."E-Evanora?" He said in a stammer and I immediately cursed underneath my breath. I'd rarely seen him stammer or have words come out of his mouth laced with such fear and uncertainty. I had managed to bring out that part of him and I immediately hated myself for it. "What just happened?""I can explain, I pro
EVANORA'S POVIt felt like I was having my whole world crash right in front of me.I crouched in the same spot Blade left me, tears rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. Not caring how late it was or if anyone around could hear me, I cried my eyes out.No matter how hard I thought about it I had no one but myself to blame. I was a liar. A cheat and I deserved every single harsh word that left Blade's mouth.I wrapped my arms around myself, having memories that could now be referred to as my past flood my mind. Memories of the good times I spent with Blade. Memories of the times he still trusted and wanted everything to do with me.I felt weak. Probably from crying way too much but I felt exhausted and it took everything in me to not fall back on the ground as I tried to get up. Luckily, I was able to get on my feet on my first attempt. I looked ahead of me, realizing the night had gotten darker and emptier. It was now silent, the only sounds in the woods coming from the chirping bir
EVANORA'S POVI woke up with a throbbing headache which I knew instantly was from my hours of crying alongside hours of starvation.Grunting, I sat up on my bed and looked around me. It was still early and I could feel how silent the whole palace was. Groaning again, I got up and headed to the bathroom.Surprisingly, I was able to get some sleep but it only resulted in my sadness turning into anger. I was suddenly so pissed at everything and every memory of the previous night just made me more vexed.I spent an unusually short amount of time in the bathroom, stepping out and immediately heading over to dry my hair. I tied it up in a messy bun and got dressed, returning to my bed the minute I was done.I had only shut my eyes for a few minutes when I heard a knock on my room. Cursing under my breath, I pulled my sheets over my head, having no intention to reply to whoever was knocking.Much to my surprise and irritation, my room's door was open without my permission, whoever it was ste
