~Dravon~“Then send for her and use the excuse of inquiring about her training to speak with her.”I paused, thinking about his words. “Sometimes you have good ideas.”“Sometimes?”I grumbled. “Don't push it, just summon her.”With a small smile he bowed, leaving the office.I couldn't commit to any other task as I waited patiently in my office. I just made small arrangements on my table.As I stacked some files vertically, a very familiar scent engulfed my nose.Elara was near.I raised my head, watching her enter my office.Though it was sunny outside, she wasn't sweating. Her hair was packed in a high ponytail.She looked stunning wearing a sleeveless collated polo top and a short skort.I've never seen her wear this outfit before. This was new.A sudden realisation washed over me. I've missed her. I've missed having her by my side.I brought my eyes to meet hers.The usual gleam in her eyes was gone. It was now replaced with a cold stare.I've never seen her like this.She bowed d
DRAVON'S POVI was beginning to get tired of listening to Lord Dimitri's loud voice constantly insisting on his own idea. He was getting on my nerves.“Lord Dimitri, I understand your suggestion but we can't possibly use another contractor when we have one of our own who's very capable.” Elder Huncho said, his voice low and cautious.“I agree, Zeyi is very capable. We have seen her works within the packs and it is wonderful. It'll be deceitful to give this to another when she's here.” Elder Hana chimed.“We shouldn't be blinded by trying to favour indigenous pack members, don't be biased! The contract should be given to Xerxes or no one!” Lord Dimitri shouted, hitting his hand on the table.“Lord Dimitri is right.” Lord Veyra agreed. “Xerxes is the right person for this, how can Zeyi handle such an enormous task? We can give her subsequent small projects in the future, but not this.”I could see that other people had their opinions but no one else said anything. They were holding back
~Elara~It came from one of the servants gathered around Aria.“I heard she's a nobody that he picked as restitution, yet she wants to climb up using him. The audacity honestly baffles me.” Another servant said, tsking.“There was a time she didn't sleep in her room at all, always spending time in the King's chamber.”“Yes it's true. I heard the King gave her a key to his room.”“Really? I've really been oblivious to the happenings in the palace.”“I heard she's secretly a sorceress. How else can you explain the favour and privilege the King gives her.”“True, he puts her in different trainings and even invites her to the sacred breakfast meetings. I heard she now influences most of his decisions.”“I think the King knows what he is doing though. He's not someone that can be easily seduced, he might genuinely care for the Miss.”“You silly girl, you're very dumb. Don't you see Miss Elara is trying to snatch the King from Lady Anita? She's trying to be the queen.”“Aria why are you qui
ELARA'S POVSweats trickled down my face as I swerved, kicking Vincent's sword out of his hands and bringing my sword to his neck.He raised his hands up in surrender, a smile breaking out in his face.I raised my brow, still cautious in case he wants to pull any secret move. “For someone that's on the verge of being killed, you sure are happy.”“When my student is improving this well, of course I'm meant to be happy.” He replied.I removed the sword from his neck and he straightened. “It's a master's pride to see his student outshine him.”I gave him a playful grin, dropping my sword. “Who said you're a master?”“I don't always need to point out the obvious. I came from a family of warriors, fighting is basically in my genes.”I rolled my eyes. “Well you're not a bad teacher.”“Not bad? You can't get any instructor like me, no one can teach you like I do.”“Of course I know. No other instructor will threaten to feed me to rogues or loudly beg the Goddess to hit me with stamina whenev
~MIA~“Yo- you can't just barge into my-”“That wasn't the question I asked you Mia.” Thorne cut me off. “What did Micheal said that was so funny?”My lips parted. “He just helped me-”“Helped you with what? Did you come to me for help? I would've given you anything you wanted.”Come to him? I was actively trying to avoid him.“I didn't know where you were and-”He let out a humourless laugh. “There's no use lying to me Mia, I know you were trying to avoid me.”Oh, so he knew?I scrambled for an excuse. “I- it's just that-”“Why did you let him get too close to you? Holding and hugging you? Who is he to you? Hmm… tell me.” He demanded.I was tired of him constantly cutting me off and questioning me like he owned me, so I snapped.I matched his intense gaze. “I should be asking you that question Thorne. Who are you to me? Who are you to question who I'm spending my time with?”His eyes blazed, but he didn’t move. He leaned in closer instead, so close I felt the heat of his body against
THORNE'S POVThe moment she laid her eyes on me I knew.No one else's gaze made my skin prickle the way hers did.My body reacted to every touch and stare of hers.I decided to let her feed her eyes. As the gaze turned intense, I lifted my eyes to meet hers.For that moment I could see it all. The hunger and desire that flared through her eyes, just like that night.She was thinking about that night.Mia's eyes widened as she noticed I've spotted her, quickly scurrying into a corner.I stifled back a chuckle. Mia's attempts to avoid me were terrible.Whenever she came out from her room and spent time with Elara, I always knew.I've always known her whereabouts, but she doesn't know that.I have every intention to pursue her, to make her mine but patience will have to be my ally for the meantime.I'm giving her the necessary space so she can get well acquainted with the palace and get over that ex-mate of hers.It's not an easy decision but it's a rational one, it's for the best.“Sir?
