EVANORA'S POV"Tomorrow's training would be a little different from our normal training. You might want to get enough sleep tonight so you can get yourself fully prepared."Matthew's words echoed in my head throughout the night as I tossed and turned in bed at intervals.Morning came rather slower than usual and I immediately jumped out of my bed, got into the bathroom, got freshened up and dashed out of room. I had no idea what the training was going to be about but judging from the familiar glint in his eyes when he spoke, I could already tell it was going to be an exciting one.It was still earlier and way earlier than usual when I got to the training room. As expected, Matthew was already there and instead of his normal smile, he welcomed me with a questioning look and hands on his waist."What is this about?" He laughed as he walked towards me. "Look at me, thinking you were early yesterday not knowing you were going to be even earlier today.""Am I?" It was my turn to laugh. Thi
EVANORA'S POVIt wasn't the first time I saw those eyes and though I saw them only once, they never left my brain ever since.They were the eyes of none other than Luna. Blade's mother."Princess Evanora," the human called out to me, my abrupt push taking her by surprise. "You-""I'm sorry," I quickly said to her, shifting my gaze from Blade's mother to her. "But you can go now, I've had my fill. Thank you."She nodded, cleaned herself up, and left, leaving me alone with Blade's mother a little far from me. Seeing the human had left, she came out of where she was hiding and confidently began to walk towards me.I cleaned my mouth as I watched her approach me. I wasn't scared of her and honestly didn't care about what she thought of me. "You," Blade's mother said to me with gritted teeth when she was finally in front of me. "You are a monster.""Hello, Luna," I said to her in response. "We meet again.""You monster," she repeated and I clenched my fist in anger this time. "How dare y
EVANORA'S POV"Princess Evanora, are you okay?"Quickly wiping my face to hide the tears, I turned to face Matthew. He was walking towards me, his steps fast as he stared at me."Yeah, I'm fine," I lied. "Fine.""I meant, with the blood bank," he said, staring at me suspiciously. "She left abruptly so I was wondering. Did something else happen?""Oh no," I waved my hand. "Nothing happened. I was just full already.""Oh, okay then.""Are we done now?" I broke free from his gaze, looking around. "Can we go back home now?"He was silent for a while and I guessed he was observing me before replying. "Yeah, sure we can."I watched him carry his bag, give me a final glance and then lead the way back home.Our walk back to the palace was silent and slow. I was exhausted- mentally and physically and just wanted to get into my room and lock myself up as soon as possible but apparently, Matthew couldn't tell as his steps were slower than ever.I tried to focus on any other thing that didn't inv
EVANORA'S POVI was ready.Ready to finally end it all. Ready to bid both my feelings and Blade a permanent goodbye and ready to start a new life without him.It wasn't going to be easy, I knew that. I was going to be needing a lot of strength- both physically and mentally and I'd spent the previous night getting ready for that.After crying for an unusually long period the previous night, I wiped my tears and got to consoling and giving myself about a hundred reasons I needed to end things with him. By the time I drifted into sleep, I knew I had successfully been able to convince myself to let him go.I ate double my normal portion during breakfast and even my dad noticed. He asked about my well-being and seeing I was in the mood to eat a lot, he quickly joked and concluded I was better after seeing food.He didn't push further to ask me what happened the previous day and I was ever grateful for that. Though I was preparing myself to be okay and strong, I knew all it was going to tak
EVANORA'S POV"Are you sleeping?"Shaking my head, I snuggled closer to Blade and had him wrap his arms around me tighter.I was curled up on his lap, head rested on his chest and the only audible sound between us came from each other's heartbeat. After all my protests with him, I was tired and just surrendered myself in his arms. "Are you sure?" He asked again."I'm not, Blade," I replied to him with a very light chuckle. It was understandable though. We had been in that position for close to thirty minutes and neither of us uttered a single word, just enjoying the comfort of each other's arms. "Your arms are comfy. That's all.""Alright then," he placed a kiss on my forehead as he replied to me. "These arms are all yours so feel free."I smiled then raised my head to look him directly in the eye. He met my gaze, titled his head, and smiled at me in return. "What? Aren't my arms comfy anymore?""They are," I replied, wiggling myself out of his embrace. I gave him another smile and c
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
