EVANORA’S POV “Even if I’m a vampire?” The question left my lips before I could stop them. At my words, Blade’s eyes subtly darkened and his brows narrowed lightly in confusion. I desperately tried to search them for something, anything at all that conveyed hate or malice. However, Blade only rolled his eyes, void of emotions, and gave out a deep genuine laugh. “Well, that’s going to be a deal breaker. Cause then, I’d have to drive a stake through your heart, love.” He whispered it and although those words caused a cold shiver down my spine, it didn’t take away the sultry appeal they had. Did he mean that? I sniffed, clearing the last of the tears that had been choked up within me. “You…hate them that much?” Blade rose a brow. “Why do you care?” I shrugged halfheartedly, trying to seem as nonchalant as possible. “I don’t. But ever since Count Dracula attacked me, my interest in the supernatural world has just gone up a notch.” Blade seemed to muse on my words, then he sen

BLADE'S POVDamn, she was cute.My fingers flipped through the pages of her photo album and I chuckled with sounds of pleasure escaping my lips at intervals. It had been about fifteen minutes since Eva had left for the bathroom and it surprised me how I kept track as the minutes went by. Probably because I made sure to spend at least a minute staring at each picture in her album, taking my time to take in the details of it.She was adorable right from an early age and it took me by surprise how that extremely cute little girl turned into one that made my heart throb. How that smile on her face managed to grow into one that made me weak and so soft. How those tiny arms, limbs, and bodies managed to develop into perfectly shaped and curved ones that simply drove me crazy the longer I stared at them.The majority of the pictures were ones with her and a woman I quickly presumed to be her mother. They had similar hair colors and similar eyes that seemed to light up whenever they were ne

EVANORA'S POV"And that's a wrap for today."Matthew announced the words I've been craving to hear ever since we started the training for the day and then helped me up. It had been three days already and as the days went by, my ending up on my butt a few minutes after training began was becoming a more natural thing to happen.Staggering then getting up, I massaged my wrist and managed to stretch my sore back. I was beginning to get used to the pain though and I couldn't really tell if that was to be a good thing.At every training, I'd spot my father watching me from far across like I was some sort of entertainment. More often than not, he'd hold a glass of wine, sipping its contents at intervals while I did nothing but get beat up.Did all kings really take pleasure in watching their daughters get beaten up?Yet another thing I'd gotten used to. Though it had been just three days I'd gotten used to him being at my training. I trained three times a day. Three times! It wasn't a meal

EVANORA'S POV.It was morning and under normal circumstances, I was to be getting prepared for breakfast and then training.But there was nothing normal about my circumstance. I missed him. Way more than I should have.I tied my hair up into a neat bun and headed for the door. I opened it slowly, looking around the corridors to check if anyone was around or looking at me and on seeing none, stepped out of my room.From the few days I'd spent with the king, one thing I noticed about him was how he never skipped breakfast. He was always right on time in the dining and then waited for my arrival before starting his breakfast.He was going to be in for a very long wait today.Trying to be as natural as possible, I walked down the stairs. People were roaming around the palace but pretending to not see any of them, I quickened my steps and in no time was out of the palace.As soon as I was sure I was as far enough from the palace to not get caught, I began running. My spirit felt free as I

EVANORA'S POVTap, tap, tap.What was that sound?I knitted my eyebrows, my eyes fluttering as I blinked continuously. Where was I? What happened to me?The last thing I could remember was..."Oh my God," my eyes shot open as I immediately jumped up from my bed, my hands traveling to my neck. I felt fine. It was fine. Not broken or snapped into two.I looked around me and realized I was in my room. I could barely remember me getting into bed as goosebumps crawled towards my skin, memories of the previous night flooding my brain.Just what the hell happened to me and for how long have I been asleep?Tap, tap, tap.The sound wasn't stopping and I knitted my eyebrows again, this time in frustration. I looked around me, wondering where the annoying sound was coming from.I turned my head and as I did, I heard the sound become louder and more distinct. Confused, I looked around me and much to my surprise, found a spider walking on the ceiling above my bed.Tap, tap, tap.It was suddenly ma
