BLADE'S POVExcitedly counting down to the hours left till I got to see Evanora had become a normal thing for me to do but at the same time, it seemed to be one I never got tired of.As quickly as I could, I concluded my activities for the day and returned to my room to get prepared to see Evanora. She had managed to stay on my mind the whole day as I didn't just miss her, I was also worried about her.After our last meeting, I couldn't help but constantly worry about how she was fairing. How her dad was treating her and how she was dealing with it. I wondered if they were still insisting on getting her married and even worse if it was still affecting her to the point of tears.Just the thought of Evanora crying managed to enrage me. She was so precious to me, I swore I wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who laid a finger on her or made her shed tears.With a grunt, I stepped out of the bathroom. Unfortunately, her dad was the one in question at the moment so there was little, if not no

EVANORA'S POVI spent the rest of my day in my room, locked up with just me and my thoughts. The palace was surprisingly quiet the whole time. After what happened with the witch, I was expecting my dad to storm into my room and uselessly try to lecture me. I sneered at the thought. What were they expecting from the stunt they pulled? Were they trying to compel me? Were they that desperate to get me married to the Prince?I shivered as I recalled how the witch managed to get me in control. It felt strange and unfamiliar for me to barely be in control of myself. It was scary and I was only thankful I somehow managed to get out of her grip.Glancing at the clock by my side, I checked the time. I had been patiently waiting till sunset so I could sneak out to meet Blade. Thanks to the condition of things, I had to stall even longer making me wait till it was even later before I got out of bed.It was already dark by the time I got out of bed, got freshened up, and got ready to sneak out.

EVANORA’S POVI could feel my dad’s gaze bore holes in my skin as I remained in my position, watching Blade’s figure slowly disappear.His anger could be sensed from up to a mile away. I couldn’t blame him though, he had every reason to be angry. He had just found out his daughter, the vampire princess was in love with a werewolf. An Alpha at that.“Princess Evanora.” Unfortunately for him, my understanding of his anger wasn’t enough justification for his actions. Regardless, he should have kept Blade away from it and had us deal with it personally. He had no right to insult the man I loved and I was not going to simply have that slide.“How dare you, dad?” I replied to him, turning to face him. “How could you?”“Excuse me?” contrary to his words, he didn’t look surprised at me. “What the hell are you talking about?”“You know exactly what I am talking about!” I yelled. “How could you threaten to kill Blade?”He chuckled softly, getting on my nerves even more. “You should be gratefu

EVANORA’S POVI had no idea I could miss the training that much.The familiar movements as we threw punches and kicks, the grunts that erupted from us as a result, the stench of sweat, and the feeling after defeating Matthew- I missed it all so much though it had only been a few days.Truth was that I missed being in action. I missed doing things other than sulking and getting angrier with every passing second. Though wasn’t perfect, I missed my old life before it took its very dramatic turn.“I see you’ve gotten extremely good, princess,” Matthew commented as he took my hand. “To be honest, I was expecting a little slack from you considering you haven’t done any training or activity in the past couple of days.”“Too bad,” I snickered. “You didn’t get what you were expecting.”“Tell me,” he said as he dusted his hands. “What were you doing for the whole three days? Training secretly? Now that I think about it, you don’t seem like the kind of person to just sit around calmly doing noth

BLADE’S POV My steps were slow as I approached the pack house. If there was anything I’d learned from staying out with the hope of seeing Evanora tonight, it was that I needed to find a way to have us stay together. As soon as possible at that. I was going to head to the library to go through all the texts again. Just maybe, the last time I checked wasn’t thorough enough so I was going to check again. I was going to go through every single text all over again until I finally found a way out. With a nod, I walked inside. It was dark already and all things being equal, dinner should have been served hours ago. My mother was supposed to be tucked in bed already with my Beta also preparing to retire for the day but apparently reverse was the case as I immediately spotted my Beta walking towards me. “Adam?” “The Luna asked about you earlier at dinner,” he said to me on approaching me. “I guessed you went to see your mate so I covered for you.” “Oh, thank you,” I breathed out. I didn
