Eleanor's P.O.V "Who, Eleanor?" Daniel growled as he gripped my chin tightly yet gently. "Why do you care?" I fired back at him. I didn't know why but I felt a sudden surge of power through me as I spat my words at him, making him further angry as I was pushed on the soft mattress with a beast hovering over me."Eleanor, you better not test me, right now. First of all, you are wearing so little making it harder for me to breathe than it already is. Second, you are telling me you are going to see some bastard wearing this!?" His words made me feel disgusted at myself. How could he think so low of me? The only person I would wear this for was him. How could he think that... that I-"Is that what you think of me?" I asked as I forced a smile on my face, fighting to keep my tears at bay.The question seemed to have struck him hard as his expression of anger was quickly replaced with a look of guilt. I watched as he quickly got off me looking away from me. I got up and sat back in the
Daniel's P.O.V "Eleanor has to die." My words left her speechless as she gaped at me, stunned.I walked closer to her, trying to hold her in my arms and explain why had to be done and why it was necessary to protect her and Danielle. But, instead of coming into my arms like Eleanor usually would, she backed away from me as her eyes did an instant flip going ice cold.Ouch!"You are an excellent strategist, aren't you? Rumors really don't lie. Selfish and smart. Both qualities are embedded perfectly in you."Her words and behavior left me stunned. "Eleanor, I don't know what you understood from my statement to act like that. But, I can explain. If you just-"I was cut off by her thunderous and mocking laugh raged in the room. "You, seriously. I can't believe you are even explaining it to me. Should I guess your explanation? That would be fun."Her voice contained anger beyond my comprehension. She was angry and yet at the same time looking so miserable in my eyes. I just didn't know
Eleanor's P.O.V The words left my mouth as I could feel his breath on mine, making me lose all my newly found courage. "It's not forced if you have a choice." Daniel's comeback struck a nerve in my head as I glared at him."A choice I can't afford to choose." I spoke through my gritted teeth. Honestly, I felt like punching and knocking out all of his teeth but I refrained myself as I decided to act like a civil person. Daniel's expression softened for a moment before returning back to being blank as he took a step back and said,"Still a choice nonetheless. Anyway, decide a name for yourself. You'll need a new identity."I stood there, still glaring at him but slowly loosening my tense muscles. "A new name? I already have one, my love. What are you talking about?" This feeling of being a rebel and irritating person is quite soothing. Now I know, why people act like this.He sighed, running a hand through his silky smooth hair. "Eleanor, if you are trying to irritate me. This tactic o
Daniel's P.O.V I woke up, yawning. But as soon as I opened my eyes, I felt as if I had been hit by a truck. My head was aching. I was feeling a throbbing pain across your head, as if a tight band was wrapped around it.I had passed the remaining of the torturous night, lying on the cold lush green grass outside the house. As if fate finally decided to be merciful to me, the rays of the sun pierced through the leaves of the green trees and falling upon my eyelids.The long cold night has finally ended with the break of this dawn which was marking the beginning of a new day.And, a possible new chapter in El and My life was about to start possibly burying the blazing past. As I get up, I stretch my limbs and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the gentle breeze brushing against my hair was as fresh as her scent. I take a deep breath of the fresh morning air, feeling the scent of blooming flowers, the woods of the trees and the dew on the leaves."You were sleeping here? Outside
Eleanor's P.O.V At this point, I really feel weird. Like weird weird. It's nor like I haven't seen magic. But, I haven't seen magic teleport a house. Standing in front of this wooden structure as I abandoned it made me feel weird.Speaking of weird. Lately, everything feels weird. Like Danielle not even questioning her father further and accepting whatever he says. Daniel lying so proficiently. Yeah, definitely weird."Elina." Oh! Forgot people mentioning me with a name I've never been called before."Yes, Henry?" "It's nothing. Since the rest of group is not here as well as Danielle. I just wanted to ask how you've been feeling." Henry spoke as he sat down beside me on the grass.Someone cares about I feel. Nice. Though, I'd prefer if I was left alone like before so that my old friend silence could keep me company."I would actually prefer if you didn't ask me that question after knowing what your cousin has been doing. Moreover, I hope your brother and his group comes back fast
Daniel's P.O.V "Mate?" Henry's pale voice pierced my ears as my steps towards Eleanor came to a halt and our widened gazes gazed into each other's, completely baffled. I spun around to glance at Hailey who was lying on the ground, twisting and turning in pain and Henry whose time had been frozen completely as his hands were shaking. As for the rest of us?We were just as shocked. How did Hailey end up becoming Henry's mate?"Henry?" I called out as I walked in the direction of my shocked brother. As soon as I placed my hand on his shoulder, he was brought out of his trance as he shook his head and stared at Hailey in disbelief. "Impossible." Henry muttered staring into the distance as he shook his head in denial. "Henry, listen to me." I tried gaining his attention but he was too lost as his mind was in denial of the situation before his eyes.He muttered under his breath as he took a step back from Hailey like she was contagious. I couldn't blame him for the shock he was in. Som
Eleanor's P.O.V Opening the curtains of the carriage, I peaked out a little as my eyes were filled with different hues and thunderous claps and chants of "Long Live, Your Majesty Daniel" pierced my ears.My eyes lingered from the people to an indifferent man riding a black horse excluding an of unapproachability like a dragon. So unapproachable yet so honorable and royal.Daniel...Tearing my longing gaze from his back, I put the curtains back as they originally were. "So, you really are not Hailey?" I asked the person sitting in front of me as I stroked my sleeping angel's hair."No." She spoke letting out a huge sigh."Then, how did you end up in her body?" I asked, confused.Though it wasn't entirely impossible. Still my mind couldn't accept the fact that Hailey's soul has left her body and was replaced with another one. "I really don't know." Rayene said as she looked at the window, looking lost and tired. "I was just going home after work in my world and then I got a call as a
Daniel's P.O.V Pomp and show. The chants on their lips. No one knew better than me how much they wanted for me to never return back alive. And, I let them down again. The Tryant King returned back alive, yet again. Seeing the castle in front of my eyes now, I just wanted to give it all away and live with my Eleanor, mom and my little angel. No matter, what I do for these people they'll never be grateful. I'll always be the background darkness that will keep this kingdom's light shining for everyone and still be criticized for being the worst existence possible ever.I sacrificed the identity of the women I love so much yet all these people can ever be is ungrateful. Getting off my horse, I walked in the direction of the carriage as did Henry. But, reaching to it's door I could hear muffled excited voices and a very positive and just happy kind of energy radiating. What is going on?Shocked would be an understatement to how I was feeling right now.Raising my hand, I knocked on th
