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
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
