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 looking at me. I stood up and shook my head with a smile on my face.
"I am fine. It's just… I have seen everything that happened to you. I saw it all in my nightmares. Just like I saw everything about Eve in my nightmares." I replied to him in a low tone and Ryan turned his face towards Dad with a questioning look in his eyes. As if he was trying to ask dad something without using his words.
I went back towards the table. I still feel weak for some unknown reason. "Yeah! She knew Eve without me telling her anything about her. She was born at the same date and at the same time when Adrian murdered Eve mercilessly. And since her birth, she could hear her cries. She could hear Eve crying in pain and asking Adrian to forgive her. Asking that heartless and soulless man to love her back. I just never believed her. I thought she was making it all up." My dad explained everything to Ryan in a low tone. While I was munching on my pizza. Hearing uncle Adrian's name, Ryan gritted his teeth and growled in anger. As if he hated uncle Adrian.
Well, I hated him too. I could never imagine anyone loving someone that much. Eve was literally crazy about uncle Adrian. There was nothing that mattered for her. She jumped into a fight to save his ass. While all Uncle Adrian cared about was the throne of the vampire king. He betrayed the woman who loved him more than herself. I could understand the pain Eve went through. Because I loved Zeus the same way. Until I couldn't keep up with his insults. The day he threw me in front of his friends and asked them to devour my body because I was his whore. I loved him blindly. But that day Zeus just crossed all the lines. And I couldn't take it anymore.
I hated Zeus for everything he did to me. And I swore to never look at his face again in my life. It still hurt me to remember the moment he called me his whore. He never disrespected me before. Not until I was fourteen. It all started when I turned fourteen. My worst mistake was that I went with him. Being away from the palace of Cerberus used to help me sleep at night. Otherwise, Eve's soul used to haunt me every single night. Dad sent me with Zeus so he would teach me self-defence. But I never thought that would become my biggest mistake. I still never tried to look for anyone for myself. I don't want anyone in my life anymore.
I had accepted the fact that Eve and I were born not just with the same face, but also with the same fate. Just like Eve, I couldn't have a loving mate too. I stood up without finishing my pizza. My heart was heavy again. "Dabby! Baby, finish your pizza. You haven't eaten anything while you were unconscious. Why are you leaving?" Dad asked me in a worried tone as he saw that I was leaving without finishing my food. I didn't turn to look at him. I knew my eyes were filled with tears. And I didn't want him to see me cry anymore. I had no idea why it still hurt me to remember that time when Zeus betrayed me just like uncle Adrian betrayed Eve.
"I am not hungry anymore. I want to sleep." I replied to him in a low tone then walked away. Instead of going back to my room, something I felt like pulling me out of the palace. I started walking towards the door of the palace. I could hear Zar following me. As soon as I was out of the palace, I started running into the forest. I stopped right in front of the only tree I could recognize in that forest. It was the same tree that had the treehouse for us. Where Zeus, Moon and I used to play. I wiped my tears and started climbing up the stairs. Zar was calling me but I didn't even look at him.
I stepped into the tree house and looked around. Long time ago, it used to be my heaven. I used to run away from the palace and come here to have some peace. I inhaled sharply and I felt a sharp pain in my chest. That place still smelled like Zeus. And Zaric had marked that place as his territory. I heard Zar whimpering from behind. I turned around and found him standing behind me. He walked towards me and licked my cheek. I was shocked to see him standing in the treehouse. First of all, that place and its surroundings were marked by an alpha werewolf. That meant no wolves could step into that place. Secondly, Zar couldn't just climb up on a tall tree. It was not that easy for a wolf to climb up just like that.
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
DABRIA'S POV:-I opened my eyes and sat up on the bed, groaning in annoyance. I knew it was not just a dream that I had. And as promised, I had to go and find him. I truly didn't want to. But I always kept my promises. I crawled out of the bed and walked towards the closet. I wore a tank top and jeans shorts. I quickly grabbed my boots and my coat, then jumped out of the window. I landed on the ground effortlessly despite the height. My bedroom was on the second floor of the palace. Those were the real perks of being a supernatural creature. I sniffed the air and caught his scent. I started following the trail of his scent.I was not surprised at all when his scent took me straight towards our treehouse. It was not just a treehouse. For Zeus and Zaric, it was their den. Taking a deep breath, I started climbing up the stairs. I went towards the roof as I could smell Z
ZEUS' POV:-TEN YEARS AGO:-As soon as my car came to a halt, Dabria hopped out of the car and ran towards the mansion. Chuckling at her, I walked after her. She just turned fourteen. And I couldn't wait to spend all my time with her. She was as excited as I was to be around her all the time. Zaric and I both started to feel it inside. I was not eighteen yet. But because of Zaric who was an ancient wolf, I was able to know that Dabria was our mate. And ever since Zaric learned that, the scales of his happiness and excitement were over the moon. It looked like he was more excited than I was for Dabria to turn eighteen soon. So she could also feel the mate bond between us.My heart fluttered as soon as I stepped into the mansion. She was jumping in happiness, giggling happily. She was
DABRIA'S POV:-It was the very first time when he growled at me. My heart felt like it would stop at any moment. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest. I buried my face in the crock of his neck. Clutching onto the shirt he was wearing, I hid myself in his arms. I couldn't help myself. His arms were the most comforting place for me in the entire world. He pecked my forehead as he laid down on the bed. I was lying on top of him. He lightly started rubbing my back. I didn't know what I did that angered him so much. But I never wanted him to be mad at me. He was the only man I had ever wanted in my life.I pulled my head out to look at him. He was staring at me. A wide grin appeared on his face as he saw my face. I was not sure why that satisfied grin was on his face. Because I couldn't stop my tears at all. He wiped my tears with the pad
