~Elara~The shadow was subtly making his way towards me, while I sat still on the edge of the bed, pretending not to notice.My stomach flopped as I thought of my next action.I decided to defend rather than attack, that was the best action at this point.As the figure moved closer, I anticipated his attack ready to lurch at him.“Move!” Dravon's voice rang throughout the room, as he suddenly appeared at the door of the bedroom.Before I could blink, his hands were on mine.His grip was firm and unyielding as he quickly guided me to move behind him.I could see the attacker clearly now, it was a man. He wore a black mask, covering only his nose and mouth.He also wore an all black outfit to blend in with the dark night.The attacker threw himself at Dravon, bringing out a silver dagger.Dravon's reaction was very swift, even for me. With fluid precision he shifted us aside before the dagger could touch him, pushing me out towards the bedroom door so I could escape.But I couldn't leav
~Elara~With my heart beating erratically I closed the bedroom door, sitting at the edge of the bed.I couldn't believe I almost kissed Dravon.I couldn't believe I didn't kiss Dravon.I had been anticipating this moment for a long time. Those full lips of his were so attractive that anyone would want to have a taste, but yet I turned him down.His face had been so close, so close that if I had reached out, I would have claimed his lips. The flecks of gold that flashed across his blue eyes as though his wolf was trying to take over. I can still feel the shards of fire in my stomach from that scene.Never in my life has space felt like a crime… like death. He had carefully covered the space as though it hurt him too, until the space shrunk, charged and trembling with something stronger than I have imagined.I swore I could feel the warmth of his breath brush across my lips, it was teasing and hot with something I know I shouldn’t want in a normal sense, but yet I crave it badly.I stil
Swift to deny it, I quickly responded back. “No I wasn't! There's nothing special to see anyway.”I was obviously lying and he knew it. He had caught me gawking at his shirtlessness last time.He raised his brows. “Oh really?”“Yup” I answered, fully stepping into the bedroom and closing the door behind me.The room was suddenly silent as Dravon's eyes ravaged over my body. He stood still, fully taking me in.He was the one undressing me with his eyes now.I knew I should've worn my matching pyjamas. The weight of his look and the desire in those blue eyes of his made my stomach flutter. A tingling sensation washed over me as I tried to evade myself from the intensity of his stare.“So… we're just sleeping right?” I asked, trying to diffuse the sudden tension in the room. I moved towards the bed, sitting at it's edge.Dravon brought his eyes to meet mine, his expression turning to a playful one. “You want me to read you a bedtime story or sing a lullaby?”This is what I loved about
~Elara~I sauntered in the hallway smiling ear to ear as I recall the events of my day.My training with Vincent was becoming more interesting now that he knows I'm a bit experienced in fighting.After he saw me fight with Dravon, he had a different expression from what I expected. I have a feeling he even saw me and Dravon almost making out. Today, he was smiling when I arrived, like he had gotten to know a very big secret. I braced myself for Vincent’s irritation or anger, but instead, he shot me a smile I didn’t expect. He tilted his head, as though studying me like a puzzle he had finally solved, and then he motioned me forward. “That was impressive Elara, that means you’re ready for this.” For a moment, I was caught off guard, I didn’t know how to react to that. “Ready for what?” He grinned when I asked that, and I subconsciously swallowed. Why did that seem terrifying?The training cut out every last bit of strength and preparation I thought I had. He was good. H
~Elara~I could manage his presence when he was a bit distant from me, but now he was standing right in front of me.Vincent left the platform without any hesitation, standing outside at it's edge to watch us.“I shall personally train you today.” He told me, giving me a look I couldn't quite place.“I'm honoured, your highness.” I responded, slightly inclining my head.“We'll continue from the guard and pivot you were just learning.”I took my stance, purposely dropping my shoulders.“The act won't work for Dravon, he can see through you.” Ney warned.Ney was usually right, but I wanted to see if it were true.Can he see straight through my act?“Your shoulders are too tense.” He said softly, correcting my stance. “Try to relax a bit.”Before I could reply, his hands brushed lightly against my back, pressing into the small of my spine to improve my stance.My breath hitched and my stomach twisted at our closeness.His fingers lingered too long, making my skin tingle.When he finally
~Elara~I sighed heavily as I dropped the letter in my hand. I received it last night before I could sleep.It wasn't really a letter, it was more of a note.A note from the King himself. Dravon.I noticed he has been avoiding me, or maybe I was imagining it.But recently he hasn't sent for me and I haven't crossed paths with him since the confrontation at his room two days ago.Maybe it was too soon for me to conclude that he was avoiding me.Instead of the usual me coming to him and he tells me my next lesson, he decided to send me notes.Yesterday he sent me a note telling me to go to the pack's training field within the palace, and get acquainted with the weapons and the fighting stance.How did I know it was sent from him? The note was signed with his name, Dravon.I didn't expect him to use his name to be honest. Even if he did, I expected to see his title alongside but he used only his name.It seemed kind of intimate, like he was giving me permission to call him by his name wi
