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
EVANORA'S POVI ran faster than I'd ever did not stopping until I got far into the woods. I had no idea as to where I was heading towards as all I knew was that I needed to leave the palace and be far away as possible.I needed to breathe. I just needed to be myself for a while as it all felt suffocating. It was terrifying, like a bad dream but heck, it was really happening.It was so hard to believe that one moment I was smiling with my dad and feeling extremely lucky to have him by my side and the next, I was mad with anger wishing he wasn't in my life. I was blinded and bonded by my own rage and had no intention of breaking free.It was crazy. He was crazy. Was that what being a princess meant to him? To just sit back and have a bunch of people I barely knew make my life decisions? To do whatever he asked me to simply cause he was the king and I was the princess?Maybe if it was regarding different issues, I wouldn't have had a problem but not regarding my getting married abruptly
EVANORA'S POVI froze for a second as I heard the twig snap behind me. One thing was sure, whoever was behind me wasn't interested in announcing their presence in a friendly manner.With a deep breath, I slowly turned. I had absolutely no idea as to who to expect so it barely took me by surprise when I spotted a couple of unknown men behind me.They looked hefty and were in strangely familiar-looking attires, obviously from a different town. There were about six of them and as our eyes met, they slowly started moving to circle themselves around me."W-Who," I voiced out, trying to not stutter. "Who are you, people?"One of them who I guessed was their leader stopped to let out laughter. "That's surprising, princess Evanora. You do not recognize us?"I swallowed. "Who are you guys? And how do you know my name?"This time, they all laughed at me, making me the odd one out wondering what was so funny."Oh, right," the dude resumed talking. "The last time we were to meet ended up pretty n
