DABRIA'S POV:-
A FEW YEARS LATER:-
I opened my eyes again and looked around. I lazily sat up on my comfy bed. Zar raised his head as soon as he saw me awake. He snuggled up with me and started licking my cheek. I smiled widely. It felt like he was worried about me. I patted his head and kissed his forehead. "I can't remember what happened. Do you know what happened? I just remembered a tall man in a tuxedo. He dragged me away. I can't remember what happened then." I asked Zar in a low tone, hoping he would answer me. I was just a fool. Expecting my pet wolf to tell me what happened to me. Or maybe I was just tired.
I heard a light knock on the door of my bedroom. I turned my head towards the door and found dad standing at the door. He had this proud smile on his face. And a hint of concern in his eyes. His eyes were staring at me. As if he was inspecting my body for any kind of pain or something. I just didn't understand what was going on. He walked towards me and sat down on the bed beside me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to his chest. As confused I really was, I still didn't mind that hug. Ever since I opened my eyes, I felt freezing. Which was near to impossible. As I was finally a vampire.
I buried my face in his chest and let his warmth engulf me. Of course, it was not the same warmth as the light of the sun I loved to feel on my face when I was not a vampire. But it was better. It felt better. Maybe a father's hug is always this warm. It doesn't matter if your father was a vampire. "How is my little baby? How are you feeling? Are you hungry? Are you hurt? Tell me, my baby." He asked me in a low tone while rubbing his hand on my back. I heard a low growl and pulled away from my father. We both looked at Zar who whimpered as he covered my cold legs with his warm body. It felt heavenly.
His fur was warmer than the light of the sun. And definitely so soft on my skin. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him from behind. "I am fine, dad. I just feel super exhausted. And I feel cold for some reason. Aside from that, I am fine. I am not hungry. I just want to lay back down on my bed and fall asleep again." I replied to dad in a low tone. I giggled while replying to my dad. Zar was licking my arms. And it tickled so much. It looked like he was in the mood to play with me. But I was too exhausted to even crawl out of my bed. So I just snuggled up with him.
With a confused frown on my face, I turned my head towards my dad to look in his eyes. "I can't remember what happened to me. It is the first time it feels this weird. I feel my whole body exhausted as if I had been fighting a battle. But I can't remember anything. I can only remember that I was playing with Zar. Then a tall man came from behind. His eyes were red. Then he abducted me. That's all I can remember. Do you know what happened?" I asked my dad in a low tone while stroking Zar's fur lightly with the tips of my fingers. He loved it whenever I did that. He would even give me kisses. It was his way to thank me.
"Honey! Right now, you are just too exhausted. How about, you rest until you feel better. I will tell you everything once you are better. Right now, all you need to know is that you are safe now and it's over. I am glad Zar is always with him. He protects you exactly the way Zeus used to protect you. He didn't leave you alone for a second in these three months." My dad replied to me in a low tone while patting Zar's fur. But his response made me very confused. I had no idea it was months ago when I was abducted. It actually felt like an hour ago I was abducted. And then, I woke up again, completely exhausted.
"Dad! Please! I don't want to hear anything about him anymore. I know I can never move on from whatever he did to me. But it still hurts so bad. Please, don't mention his name again in front of me. Tell me what do you mean by Zar didn't leave me in three months? What is going on? What are you not telling me?" I pleaded with my dad not to mention anything about Zeus. I didn't even want to hear anyone mentioning his name in front of me. It had been years since he hurt me so badly. The wounds he gave me were on my heart. And the more time passed, the more they were hurting me. Time just doesn't heal all the wounds.
He nodded his head slowly as he heard my painful pleas. Then I asked him about the three months he just mentioned. It was confusing that I had been sleeping for three months but I couldn't feel like I missed this much time. "It is all complicated. It's better if you sleep for now. We will talk about it later. Lay back down and get rest. I promise you that I will tell you everything once you are feeling better. Just don't worry about anything anymore. You are safe now. And everything is going to be better in our lives." I smiled widely as he told me that everything was fine. Seeing his relieved smile, I couldn't help but feel relieved from the inside. I noticed something different about him. But I couldn't understand what.
I nodded my head and laid back down on the bed. Zar quickly snuggled up with me. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. Dad covered both of our bodies with the warm comforter. He turned off the lights and walked out of my bedroom. I closed my eyes and let myself slip into my dreamland.
DABRIA'S POV:-I opened my eyes again as I felt Zar licking my cheeks. I stretched my arms above my head and looked at him. I no longer felt that coldness inside my body. I sat up on the bed and looked around. My room was still dark. I crawled out of the bed and peeled my clothes off. "Come on, Zar. We are going to take shower together. I haven't been taking care of you all this long." I spoke to Zar as I walked into the bathroom. Zar followed me excitedly. I just knew that dogs were never that happy to have a shower. But Zar was not a dog. I knew he was a wolf. He was taller than me in height.Zar reached to my shoulders while he was on his four feet. I never knew how tall he would be while on his two feet. Instead of the shower, I filled the tub with warm water. I added my favourite jasmine fragrance and some soup, then stepped into the warm water. Za
DABRIA'S POV:-I walked towards my father and bowed my head in front of him. He stood up and walked towards me. He engulfed me in his arms and I also wrapped my arms around him. I pulled away from him as I heard Zar's overprotective growl. Dad chuckled softly and I kissed Zar's face. "Dad! What is going on? What did I miss? This is Eve's statue, right?" I asked my dad after a minute. I felt like I was in a different territory. Where my father could loudly announce how brave and courageous woman Eve really was. And how he always told that he was proud of her. It was never allowed to even say her name out loud. Keeping her gold statue in the hall of throne was something I had never expected."Let's go somewhere else. Where we both can sit and talk. There is so much more for me to tell you. And I am sure you are impatient too." My dad spoke in a low tone while s
DABRIA'S POV:-After a few minutes, a man stepped into the kitchen. He had this wide smile on his face as he saw me. He walked closer towards me and bowed his head in front of me. "This is Ryan. One of the most powerful vampires I have ever known. Not just that. He was called the eclipse. We all feared him and his loyalty to Adrian. But then, he became loyal to Eve. She saved his life." Dad added after a minute. I was staring at that man. He sure looked so familiar. After a minute, I remembered. I used to have nightmares about him too. I stood up from my chair and walked towards him. I touched his cheek and everything he had been through, flashed in front of my eyes.For a moment, I felt dizzy and was about to fall on my butt, but Zar was already standing behind me. He caught me at the right time. "Are you alright, my Mistress?" Ryan asked me in a worried tone while lookin
DABRIA'S POV:- This place was supposed to be the place where I had the best time of my life. Whenever I used to hear Eve's painful cries, I always ran towards this place. And hid inside my room. I was glad that dad made this tree house for me. But because everything that happened between Zeus and I, I just stopped coming to the treehouse. It was painful for me to remember the time we had spent in this place. I never understood why Zeus changed that much within a few years. I was his princess. I was actually the only woman he had ever laid his eyes on. And yet, he became so barbaric when our time came. He became so barbaric that he crushed all my dreams under his heels. There was not a single day I had not thought about him. I tried not to remember anything about Zeus. Because I just couldn't bear that pain anymore. Every time anyone m
DABRIA'S POV:- I opened my eyes and gasped loudly. There was a tall and muscular man lying beside me on the bed. He was lying naked beside me. Zar was nowhere to be found. I opened my mouth to scream as loudly as I could. But before I could wake up the whole palace, my screams were muffled behind a strong palm. He covered my mouth with his hand firmly. As I knew he was naked, my eyes were closed before I even opened my mouth to scream. "Shhh… don't you dare scream." As his voice made its way to my ears, I instantly opened my eyes. My eyes widened in horror as I saw his face again. I thought I would never see his face again in my life. "I am going to pull my hand away. If you scream, I swear I will tell you how angry I can get. You will not scream. Got it?" He asked me in his same low and deep voice. I gulped hard and nodded my head. He pulled
DABRIA'S POV:-My heart skipped a beat or two when my brain started processing his words. I just didn't want to accept his words. If it was really him all this long around me, I was literally doomed. I had bathed with Zar. I had changed in front of him. Worst of all, I was walking buck ass nude in front of him most of the time when we were alone in the room. A mischievous grin appeared on his face as he pushed me back in the metrus and hovered over me. My breath hitched as he pinned me with the metrus. He interviewed his fingers with mine as he leaned over towards my neck. I closed my eyes and whimpered softly as I felt his warm breaths touching my skin.I shivered when the tip of his nose touched the sensitive skin of my neck. He actually knew every single sensitive point of my body. And he knew how to use those spots against me. "I meant that it was me all this long. I was the one bat
DABRIA'S POV:-A droplet of tear escaped his eye and landed on the ground. Were my words literally hurting him that much? Did he really think I could ever forgive him after everything he had done to me? I can remember that time as clearly as looking at my own reflection in the mirror. I shivered and jumped off of the bed. "I am sorry. I can't do this. I am not that brave. I want you to grab one of my gowns and leave. Now that I know that it was you all along, I can't bear to see you around me for another second." I said in a firm tone while looking at him. My eyes started to water up. The tears were stinging my eyes to break free. But I kept them at bay.I didn't want him to see my tears anymore. He couldn't have that pleasure ever again. I had tears in my eyes not because I saw he was in pain. It was because I had been through enough pain because of him. And I couldn't have it again. I
DABRIA'S POV:- A wide smile appeared on her face as she saw me. I stood up and walked towards her slowly. She also stood up but stayed rooted at the spot she was sitting on. I had tears in my eyes as I finally saw her smiling face for the very first time in my entire life. "Eve!!!" I whisper that escaped my lips like a prayer. Or maybe I was just too happy seeing her beautiful smile. "It is you! Oh my God! I can not believe my eyes. I almost gave up on those dreams I used to have. That one day, I will see you smiling wholeheartedly. That one day, you will be at peace." I added while staring at her from head to toe. My voice was barely audible as I was still crying. I had no idea why I was crying in the first place. But I knew those tears were not hurting my chest anymore. She gently brushed my hair while smiling at me. "Yes! It
