EVANORA’S POV“Are you shy?”I blushed at Blade’s words, uselessly trying to cover my naked body to hide it from him. “No, I’m not.”“Oh, yeah?” he pulled me closer to him, pressing my body against his. I could literally feel our skins in contact, igniting an unexplainable spark within me. “Look at me then.”I raised my head from his naked lower body to look at his chest then have my gaze meet his. He looked hot. So hot just as he did minutes ago as we had sex. His gaze was intent, staring at every inch of my body and in the long run, managing to get me to blush from excitement.Smiling at me, he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for a hug, kissing my back as he did. His hands stroke my hair gently and I just knew what was about to come next.“Do you have to leave now?” I asked, knowing after he showered kisses on my head, he was going to get up to bid me farewell for the night. “Evanora-”“No,” I cut him off, shaking my head. “Don’t leave. At least, not yet.”In res

EVANORA’S POV “Princess Evanora!” I froze as I heard him call out to me again in an even louder voice. Busted. That was exactly what I was. Remaining in that same position, I refused to turn to face him until I could literally hear his steps behind me. I shut my eyes, took a deep breath, and waited till he tapped me on the shoulder and turned me to face him. “Evanora,” his voice was harsh as he spoke to me. “Where the hell were you all these while? Where are you coming from?” “I-” “And don’t you dare lie to me,” he pointed a finger at me. “I know you weren’t home all night so you better just come clean about where you were all along!” I swallowed. He was obviously so mad and it had to be my first time witnessing him get consumed by so much rage. I didn’t dare utter a single word, having absolutely no courage to lie to him. “You aren’t going to respond?!” he grabbed me by the shoulders, letting me go almost immediately to shake his head and massage his temples. “While I was h

EVANORA'S POVI ran faster than I'd ever did not stopping until I got far into the woods. I had no idea as to where I was heading towards as all I knew was that I needed to leave the palace and be far away as possible.I needed to breathe. I just needed to be myself for a while as it all felt suffocating. It was terrifying, like a bad dream but heck, it was really happening.It was so hard to believe that one moment I was smiling with my dad and feeling extremely lucky to have him by my side and the next, I was mad with anger wishing he wasn't in my life. I was blinded and bonded by my own rage and had no intention of breaking free.It was crazy. He was crazy. Was that what being a princess meant to him? To just sit back and have a bunch of people I barely knew make my life decisions? To do whatever he asked me to simply cause he was the king and I was the princess?Maybe if it was regarding different issues, I wouldn't have had a problem but not regarding my getting married abruptly

EVANORA’S POVI had resigned to my fate of getting kidnapped by my dad’s enemies and probably getting killed in the process. It was exhausting and a lot to think of but sadly, I was left with no choice.With another sigh leaving my lips, I shut my eyes and allowed the darkness to settle in. I had only done that a few minutes though as I quickly got interrupted by the carriage taking a sharp turn, having me immediately open my eyes. “What is going on?” I tried to say but it only came out in muffled sounds as the carriage kept on taking sharp turns at intervals. It felt like they were going faster than normal and before I could fully process what was all happening, I felt myself get thrown to a side as the carriage crashed into a tree.Still tied up, I heard noises coming from the men in the carriage. It started with a quick exchange of words and quickly changed into grunts and sounds of anger.“Don’t let them get to her!” I heard their boss yell and immediately felt the carriage becom

BLADE’S POVFuck, I missed her so much.It had only been a few days without me not seeing Evanora but it felt like it had been years. According to the guards she kept on compelling me to come to meet me, but she was busy with stuff.I couldn’t help but worry about her though. Ever since her coronation, she seemed to have gotten busier. It must have suddenly gotten so stressful for her to be packed with so much stuff to do that she couldn’t even afford to see me.I wanted to see her so bad. To hug her until all her tiredness dissolved. To kiss her until she felt relieved and free from all her responsibilities in my arms. But for all that to happen, I needed to see her first and that just wasn’t happening.I let out a groan as I got out of my bed to get ready for my day’s activities. Mentally scanning my schedule for the day, I let out a sigh of relief as I realized I’ll be done early which meant more time to spend with Evanora later.That was of course if she was finally free enough to
