EVANORA'S POVWhat have I done?The speed at which I picked up my clothes and threw them over me was second to none. Like a maniac, I covered myself up hurriedly and ignoring Blade's call to calm down, I dashed from his presence and ran away.I didn't stop running until I was far away from the forest and almost at the Grimaldi Dynasty. My breathing was heavy as I paused and I looked around to confirm I was truly far away from him.A feeling of anguish immediately enveloped me. I ran my hands through my whole body, memories of what transpired between me and Blade a few minutes ago rushing towards me.No, I shouldn't have. I totally shouldn't have.Damn my stupid vampire senses that were alerted.And damn all the stupid training I'd undergone which didn't include how to control me in such situations.Sighing, I resumed my journey back home. I was already very close to the palace and after a few more minutes of walking, I found myself at the main gate.I stepped into the palace through t
BLADE'S POVDo you know the type of immense pain that came after just as immense pleasure? Yeah, I felt that. Why did she run?Just why the fuck did she run?She had me handicapped. She ruin my plans on getting closer to her while I showered kisses on her forehead. She shattered my hope of whispering sweet things in her ear and having her do the same.After all,l we had just had sex so those gestures were to happen naturally.But no, she just had to run away from me.I stared at her confused as she swiftly picked her clothes from the ground and even more swiftly, threw them on. Ignoring the fact that I was completely naked, I got on my feet, called out her name, and tried to demand where she was off to in a hurry but it was all useless.There was a limit to how far I could go without my clothes on and before I could completely get dressed, she had dashed far into the woods never to be seen again.Left with no choice, I put my clothes on and left for the palace to sulk to myself.I ha
EVANORA'S POVIt took a short while but I'd finally resumed living my old life. Not as a human, of course, but as the true vampire princess I was.My training had become more consistent and I had completely gotten used to it. I had taken both my normal training and vampire senses' training more seriously and I had to admit, I knew I was improving.That morning was no different as immediately breakfast filled the table, I began to eat heading to the training room immediately after I was done. The sweet smell of the meals tickled my nose and my mouth watered at the sight. By a corner of the table was a jar filled with blood as always.I'd completely gotten used to drinking blood. It now came as naturally as drinking water to me and the feeling of disgust that came over me after consuming it had managed to completely fade away."Today," my dad spoke up as he lifted his cutlery. He just never seemed to observe basic table manners as he always had a new observation or thing to talk about
EVANORA’S POVI spent close to an extra hour talking with my dad about the most random things and I figured we had more in common than I’d ever imagined.He had an awful sense of humor that matched mine as we cracked jokes and laughed at intervals. It was so fun it made me wonder how I’d spent so long not knowing that side of him."We should head back home,” he finally said to me. “We’ve spent more than enough time outside the palace, don’t you think?”“Mhm mhm, I guess so,” I replied, rising to my feet after watching him do the same. “We should go.”He nodded and led the way, turning and walking in the direction only familiar to him. Our walk was silent as he focused on navigating his way out of the forest while I focused on a totally different issue.No matter how hard I tried, there was something about the forest that just continued to remind me of Blade. Maybe it was how the light breeze that hit my skin so gently felt so similar to his touch. Or maybe it was because how every ste
EVANORA'S POVI could barely control myself. My fangs had completely grown and were more than ready to dig into his skin. Internally groaning, I shut my eyes and mouth, trying my hardest to control myself."Go away!"My loud outburst took both me and Blade by surprise. I pushed him away, our make-out session coming to an abrupt end. My hand immediately flew to my mouth, covering it as I tried to calm myself down to control the urge."Evanora," he took a step towards me and I immediately took one backward. "What's wrong?"I remained silent, my palm still wrapped over my mouth."You feel it too, don't you?" Blade wasn't giving up as he took another step forward. "I know you feel it too and you want me as much as I want you so please stop acting otherwise. Don't push your feelings to the side. Don't fight it."He literally had no idea. I stared at him and he stared back, my heartbeat still managing to quicken. I also didn't want to pull away from the kiss. Though I knew it was wrong, at
BLADE'S POVMy walk back to my pack land was slow, different thoughts clouding my mind. On one hand, Evanora's words echoed in my head about her wanting us to stop, and on the other, I kept on recalling how her body reacted to my touch.She obviously wanted me as much as I wanted her. She felt everything I felt too so just why did she want to end us?I did understand the part about her being scared. She was a human and everything must have still felt so new to her and I understood that. I was willing to give her more time to adapt and get used to everything so just why did she forget about all that and suggest ending us?I wanted her more than I'd ever wanted anything and just the thought of not having her with me broke my heart. I couldn't afford to let her go. If it was more time she needed, I could give it to her. If it was more space she needed, we could meet once every two weeks instead. I was willing to give it absolutely whatever it took to make sure she didn't leave me.She ju
EVANORA'S POV"Do you want more rice?"I looked up to meet my dad smiling at me and I shook my head, chuckling.We were just having breakfast but he was being unusually nice and though it felt good, it still felt weird. He helped me dish my meal, helped me with my cutlery, passed me a glass when I reached for one, and now, was asking me if I wanted more rice.For heaven's sake, I was barely done with the one on my plate."You're being weird, dad," I stared at him intently. "Why are you being all nice all of a sudden?""What? I'm not," he took a spoonful of his meal. "Whoa, look at you making it seem like I'm not naturally a nice person.""You are," I snickered. "But this is being extreme. It's not even my birthday, why are you treating me, especially all of a sudden?""Okay, you got me," he rested his hands on the dining table. "Maybe I was being a little too obvious.""Yes," I folded my arms. "Now tell me, what is it?""Nothing serious, actually," he laughed lightly. "I'm just feeli
EVANORA'S POV"Evanora."I curled my fingers around my hairbrush as I heard my name called, followed by a knock on the door. Quickly bringing my hair in place and giving myself a final look in the mirror, I got up from my dresser and walked towards my door."Come in, the door is open," I said out loud but still opened the door myself to reveal my dad standing outside. I wasn't expecting him and his presence took me by total surprise, causing a delay in my ushering for him to come in."I see you're up already," he said, taking a comfortable seat on my bed. "You look beautiful.""Dad," I laughed lightly at my plain jeans and t-shirt. "I'm just normally dressed for my training.""Oh?" He looked up to check me out again. "Are you heading somewhere?""I just said I was going for my training, dad.""I heard that, Evanora," he replied with a weird look in his eyes. "I'm just asking if you're heading somewhere else afterward."I swallowed. "What? No, I-""Child," he interrupted me then got on
