Daniel's P.O.V We walked to the carriage as I carried Danielle lovingly in my arms while walking beside an Eleanor who was so lost in her thoughts ever since she met the Baron couple."Dad! The white horse is so pretty!" Danielle jumped in my arms at the sight of the white horse attached to the wedding carriage. As entire of Eleanor's body vibrated in shock as she was pulled out of her thoughts by Danielle's excited voice."Yes, it is, angel," I smiled at Danielle's enthusiasm, thankful for the distraction from the heavy atmosphere around me and Eleanor.We approached the carriage as the coachman opened the door for us. I gently placed Danielle inside, making sure she was comfortable before taking my seat beside her.Eleanor sat across from us, her eyes still glued to the Baron couple as they bid their farewells to the other guests before getting into their carriage to join the parade. I could see some kind of conflict in her eyes. But, my mind just couldn't decide how to ask her ab
Eleanor's P.O.V "Your Majesty?" An irritating voice crossed my ears as I spun around to find that the owner of the awfully familiar irritating voice was none other than Lady Kiera. Acting like a white lotus. "What's the matter, Lady Keira?" Daniel's eyes were fixated on her heaving face as he gently asked her the reason for interrupting.The tone of his voice made me wonder if she was some sort of fragile."That... That... Your Majesty, I..." Lady Kiera stammered, her face growing redder as she struggled to get her words out."Just spit it out, Lady Keira," I said impatiently, not in the mood to play her games."Your Majesty, I was wondering if I could have a word with you in private?" she asked, her eyes pleading with mine.I raised an eyebrow, not liking the sound of that. What could she possibly want to talk to me about in private?"Lady Keira, my wife and I are getting late for the ritual. If there's anything please say it here. We need to reach back to the castle for the banqu
Daniel's P.O.V Spicy.That's what Eleanor's attitude was back in the temple before the ritual. Somehow, I just couldn't bring myself to jump in the fight she was enjoying fighting so much. I could see it in her eyes which sparked with life. Just like the moment when I had laid my eyes on her.How can someone be so innocent yet so dangerous as well as alluring?I don't know. But, she definitely was all three at the same time. Her confidence and fearlessness were admirable. She had a certain charm that made her stand out from the crowd.I couldn't help but be drawn towards her, her energy infecting me infecting me like insect. It was like she had this invisible force that pulled me towards her.I watched as she fought like a warrior against Keira with her words and her knowledge as her weapon. Her moves were precise and calculated, her focus in which she enforced her way of thinking unbreakable. She had this intense aura around her that made everyone else fade away in comparison.When
Eleanor's P.O.V I pulled the covers over my snoring daughter as I got up from the bed and switched off the lamp.The moonlight fell on her pretty face lightning it up. I couldn't help but smile as I watched her sleep peacefully, her breaths steady and rhythmic. I tiptoed out of her room and headed to mine.As I made my way through the quiet hallways, my thoughts drifted back to the day's events. Specifically the fight with Keira and Daniel supporting me.It had surprised me, to say the least. I never expected him to stand up for me, especially since him and Keira had been friends like forever. However, I was just a mate who was bestowed by Moon Goddess and kept causing restlessness and trouble. The mate who just hated him in his head for hiding the truth that could have broken us apart even before we began. But there something in his eyes. A spark. That seemed be the love he held for me, no matter the hell I put him through.And, that spark just seemed impossible to be put out.I co
Daniel's P.O.V "Daniel?" There was Eleanor, standing there as her entire body trembled. But, instead of opening the curtains completely, she walked in through the small partition she had created before closing it. Now, standing in front of me, just staring. The silence made me feel as if how could would it be if the ground were to open up and swallow me, right now. Before, I could have offered any sort of reason to my wife. Keira opened up her mouth to create more trouble as if she hadn't just created a very dangerous storm that was brewing in flower's mind. "Your Majesty, please let me explain," She said, reaching out to El, but flower ruthelessly snapped her hand away."Lady Keira, I don't need you to explain things" she said, her voice low and angry. "I have my husband here to tell me what exactly happened. Please leave, right now."Keira's face fell as she probably realized she had made a terrible mistake. That she should have talked to me in public. That we were no longer 7.
Keira's P.O.V."Mom! Mom! The corset feels too tight. Can I not wear it?" The 5 year old me asked, pouting. Hoping my mother, the pain they caused in my hips."This is necessary, Keira." Mom said, rejecting the reply I had crafted for her to say in my mind."You need to wear it for your posture and to look your best for the ball tonight. You are meant to be the future Queen of Eleneas. You are supposed to marry His Highness, Henry. I'm pretty sure you'll listen to your mom." She added with a gentle smile.I sighed and nodded helplessly to her words, knowing there was no getting out of it. Plus, I didn't want to disappoint my mother and there was no other option to make her happy. To make her smile when all she did was cry behind closed doors.She flashed me one of her brightest smiles as I watched her stand up as my eyes caught a fresh scar on her arm as I held onto her skirt. "Mom, how did you get hurt?"My words left mom frozen as her trembling eyes gazed into my questioning ones. It
Eleanor's P.O.V Maybe, it was the desperacy in me to never lose the sight of him that I followed him like the ray of light in my dark life.I don't know how long. How long it has been since I've been following him. Neither did I know where he was leading me. The only thing I knew was I didn't want him to go to any Keira. He was mine. My Daniel. As soon as the thought crossed my head, his steps came to halt, making my head come crashing with his sturdy and hard back. My eyes instinctively closed themselves as I prepared my butt to hit the cold, hard ground, waiting for the pain to shoot through my entire body but that wasn't something that actually happened. Instead, I felt a hand wrap around my wrist as I was pulled into a solid hard chest."El? Are you okay?" Daniel's voice shot through my ears, perking them up in suprise as I pulled myself away from his embrace, gazing at the floor in embarrassment."Yeah, I'm fine," I muttered, avoiding his gaze as I straightened my position a
Eleanor's P.O.V I followed him like a lost kitten out of the ebony door, back into the room as I watched him sit down on the wooden chair. My heart was pounding hard in my chest as I approached him cautiously, the floorboards creaking underneath my feet. He looked up at me with a knowing smile, as if he could tell that I was nervous."Kneel," he gestured to the place before his feet on the carpet. I hesitated for a moment before finally falling down to my knees, eyes flickering around the room nervously.Never actually did this crazy shit with the intention of pleasing something. "So, my pretty little flowers. Aren't you familiar with this?" He asked, his voice smooth and melodic. Like those people who sweet talk to a gullible innocent child to kidnap them.I nodded slowly, as I started to feel a little uneasy about the situation."So, the thing we are doing right now is," he continued, leaning forward slightly. "BDSM. Bondage. Dominant. Submissive. Masochist. Sadist. It's a form
