Eve seems to enjoy her time learning and understanding Dzhimara with Ariadne by her side. She is always cheerful and helpful. It was clear that Ariadne adores Eve and she felt the same way too. It helps seeing Eve wasn’t well accepted by most wolves yet. It was a dreadful day when Eve decided to visit the town of Dzhimara without Adam for he was busy. She decided to visit there secretly but was accompanied by Khalid, Damien, and Ariadne.
They were in disguise to avoid too much attention. Eve was amazed at how different the town was from Zhatiera. Zhatiera was a landfill with snow so every street would be drowned in it and being a Zhatierian that she was, the cold weather never
Eve was walking in the hallway when Nika suddenly shows up in front of her. She looks upsets and when she suddenly pulled her hand, Khalid and Damien’s body becomes tense. Eve’s as well. “Oh, Eve. My dear sister. I am so sorry for what had happen. I heard that you were hurt when you visit the town. I wish I could do something to help. Are you alright?” Eve was looking at her with disbelief. Was her ear right? Did she just act like she wasn’t at the town yesterday? Was it her imagination seeing Nika at the corner of the tea shop, handing bags of coins
That night, Eve sits on a chair which she pulls closer to the fireplace. Being a Zhatierians, heat was never a necessity but the warmth of the fire makes her feel at peace. When the door slams open behind her, she turns to see Adam walking unsteadily with Niko and Damien carrying him. Adam’s face was flushed and he was grunting in a low voice. Eve sigh and helped him to his bed. After they both left looking worried, she gently changes his cloth and wipe his face with a small clean towel. She showers him with love and places a small kiss on his forehead. It hurts when he was mean to her earlier but seeing how handsome and precious he was, she could not find the urge to be angry anymore and slowly re
That night, Eve brought Marion to the forest to bury her. She was sobbing and the sound that came from her lips tore Khalid, Ariadne, and Damien’s hearts. The same sadness can be seen in Khalid’s eyes. Even though he tries to stand still and be brave, his eyes were red, and tears pool inside them. Damien too shares the same emotion they all have. Eve was pouring a jug of water with daisies and what is left of Marion’s feathers she could find in the kitchen. Some of it was thrown out by the cooks. Her left cheek was swollen and painful to touch and a cut formed on her lips from Adam’s wrath. Marion’s grave is now frozen solid, just like how every fallen Zhatiera would be buried.
The next day, Eve made sure to avoid Adam at all costs for she didn’t want him to know of what he had done. He was drunk that night so Eve believes in her heart that Adam had no intention of hurting her at all. Moreover, Adam himself seems to be avoiding her as well. He’s still angry that Eve had danced with his enemy. That very day, Adam and Dante have decided that peace between wolves and vampires is inevitable, and to make it fair, he let Dante go peacefully with his coven to avoid any unwanted death in Dzhimara. There were humans after all. Before Dante left, Dante actually sneaked into her window when Adam was busy. Eve was lying on her bed, knitting a sweater when she felt his presence.
It was a beautiful moment indeed but Eve realise now that not all good things last. She had learned it the hard way. Visiting the human settlement has become a routine for her every day when Adam leaves her all alone. She didn’t think that visiting these humans would be a problem but she was dead wrong. Nika being Nika found out about her daily visits and quickly informed Adam. He became furious. “Are you out of your mind? Hanging around those savages will only ruin the reputation of this palace! They are nothing but parasites in this land. Weak and should be ignored at all times. It was good enough that I allow them to stay but you, you are making me regret that decision.”
Eve was in her room one day and Ariadne was accompanying her. She was busy folding her yarn and clothes when Adam enters the room. He had a dark expression on his face causing Eve to be more alert than ever. Ariadne quickly moves beside her and her hand holds Eve’s back. Adam was taken aback by his wife's maid's sudden protection mode.“Why are you two looking at me like that?”Eve and Ariadne look scared and they turn to each other. For the first time in their life, their king had a softer response, different than he usually had whic
At the castle wall, Eve stood next to Ariadne and Damien stands on the other side. It was only the four of them including Ariadne’s daughter, Zara whose tears has soak her whole cheeks. Eve’s eyes too red and puffy. She had no more tears but sadness was apparent on her face.Khalid who stands in front of her was holding a huge sack fill with his things. He wore his silver attire in which he had once used when he came to Dzhimara. He was going home after all. He had a face void of any expression. Not anger or sadness. Concern perhaps but for his beloved queen. His bestest friend and his first love.
Few weeks passed after Khalid has left Eve. Adam though still busy as usual, he made sure that Eve is always occupied and make sure she knows that by loving her every single night. Eve finally had a smile after so long. Though she still misses Zara and her family, she decides to distract herself by knitting in her room. It wasn’t the most fun hobby she had but it was enough to avoid being sad thinking about her family and friends back home.She never complains when doing that as she continually creating a blanket, something easy Ariadne had taught her. Perhaps when she has successfully created that blanket, she would move on to a dress or something pretty for Adam. A sharp pa
