Eleanor's P.O.V "Eleanor?" The figure walked into the moonlight from behind the bushes as my eyes remained trained on it.Derek?"Eleanor? You're alive? Or, I'm hallucinating about you again? Ha! How I wish you were still alive. How I wish Hailey was still here. Eleanor... I'm sorry." Derek apologized out of nowhere crashing down to the ground as I watched tears slide down his eyes, making a very uncomfortable shudder run down my body.I hesitated for a moment before taking a step closer to Derek. The moonlight highlighted the lines of grief etched on his face, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him even when I didn't like him before he was the first guy to stay beside me from the moment my mother died. Though, he became more twisted than me after his mother died."Derek, you should go back to the village. Roaming in the woods... What if a vampire were to kill you?" I urged, my voice filled with genuine concern. Derek scoffed and wiped away his tears with the back of
Eleanor's P.O.V My body burned with rage as I watched Daniel throw Derek on the ground like a rag doll."You want to kill me?" Daniel's low growl echoed through the forest as I watched Daniel ripping out Derek's heart from his chest throwing it away from his now lifeless body."Kill me now. Why don't you, bastard?" Daniel spoke in his cold as he threw Derek's lifeless body to one corner of the forest before turning his gaze to me.I felt a shiver run down my spine as Daniel's eyes locked with mine. The once warm and comforting gaze I had fallen in love with now held a sinister and chilling darkness. It was as if the man standing before me was a completely different person, a monster lurking beneath the surface.Fear gripped me tightly, but beneath it, anger swelled within my chest. He killed Derek without a thought. I'm next. He's going to kill me then Danielle just like before. How... How did I fall for such a monster?I could feel the fire of my own rage burning inside me, threat

I jolted awake, my eyes darting around the dimly lit room, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Panic washed over me as I realized I couldn't move; my body felt heavy, immovable, bound by cold, unforgiving metal chains that rattled with every futile attempt to break free."Daniel," I whispered his name with disbelief and anger.How could he do this to me? The person I once trusted, the one who claimed to care for me, had betrayed me in the most heartless way.My mind raced with questions, trying to piece together how I could escape this horrible nightmare that my beloved had put me into.My heart pounded in my chest, drowning out the sound of the metal links clanging together. I was trapped, ensnared in a twisted web of deceit and cruelty.Desperation clawed at my throat as tears welled in my eyes. I struggled against the unyielding restraints, but they held me in a vice-like grip, mocking my feeble attempts at liberation. The room seemed to close in around me, the walls closing r
Eleanor's P.O.V I don't remember. I don't remember how long ago it was that I had eaten. I don't remember how long ago it was that I had seen light. I don't remember how long ago I was standing on my own two feet. I just don't fucking remember. All that I can remember is Daniel confining me in this dark, cold room as I passed out after a long struggle against these magical restraints that seemed to grow even stronger with the amount of resilience I put in. Which day is it today? How long have I been here? I miss Danielle. I miss Mom. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I miss him... I miss Daniel. I don't know if God was watching over my miserable state or not, but as soon as those words rang in my head, the door of the room creaked open, and my tired eyes closed due to the overwhelming amount of light flowing in. But it vanished even before my eyes could have a chance to adjust to the missing element of my life: light. The aroma of food burnt its way through my nostrils as my
Daniel's P.O.V. "Stop drinking, Daniel! What have you made of yourself?" The high-pitched sound of Henry made my eardrums shift from their original place as pain originated in my head. "Stop lecturing me. I'm not interested. If you have something useful to say, then say it. If not, zip your mouth shut," I slurred out in a drunken voice, closing my eyes, resigning myself to my sorrows once again. "Daniel... What has happened to you?" Henry's voice was filled with genuine concern, the kind of concern that only comes from someone who cares deeply about you. I ignored his question, opting to take another swig from the bottle sitting on the coffee table in front of me. The alcohol burned as it traveled down my throat, temporarily numbing the pain I felt inside. "Stop it, you bastard. Is this how you're going to show yourself to Eleanor after the mess you've caused?" Henry's voice wavered, a mix of anger and sadness seeping through his words as he moved forward attempting to snatch the b
Daniel's P.O.VThe earthy smell of rain hitting the soil filled my nose as the sound of thunder roaring outside filled my ears, prompting me to try opening my heavy, tired eyes. Instead of being greeted by the familiar sight of my room, all I could feel was the excruciating pain in my head, making me want to die dead.The feeling of pain was as if a hammer had made contact with my skull, making it vibrate as its sound numbed my brain. However, the numbness of my brain didn't numb my throbbing pain that was threatening to consume me, washing away my soul.Ugh! What the hell!? What did I do yesterday? Why am I in such a terrible state?Groaning, I somehow managed to pry my eyelids apart, squinting against the dim light filtering into my room from the candles. The world around me swam into focus, a blurry mess of colors and shapes that gradually coalesced into some resemblance of my current situation.My view of my room seemed to finally grow clearer. As I raised my right hand to run it
Daniel's P.O.V"Your Majesty, Her Majesty is neglecting the Queen's responsibilities. I think it's better for us to bring in a Concubine-"However, before Marquis Sleth could finish his words I lost the leash of my temper, slamming my fist on the table, making the room fall into an abyss of silence."The Queen is not well. Empress Dowager is happily managing her responsibilities till she's feeling well. There's no need for a Concubine." The words left my lips leaving a bitter aftertaste on my tongue.How dare they! How dare they talk about me marrying another woman when I'm already married!? The nerve they have...My sudden outburst of rage made the nobles cautious as they exchanged uneasy glances.Marquis Sleth was still recovering from the shock of my sudden anger, had no choice but to lower his gaze. But, I could sense an aura about him that was screaming that he wasn't going to give up on this easily.Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself down.I have to protect Eleanor and Daniel
