Candela

After knowing that she is already pregnant, Blade was even more became so protective over her. To the point that he barely allowed her to step out of his room. Since that day also, Blade decided to take her along with him as always. He took her out of her original room and bring her to the fourth floor where Blade’s room located.

At first, it is giving Candela a hard time. Who wouldn’t be? Everyone are confused over the decision of their first prince. There a day, that when she leaves Blade’s room… she will hear some maids talking about her name. Some words they uttered were good but it won’t change the fact that there are also bad saying about her. Telling that she seduced Blade, that she used her beauty to get Blade on her hand. To be honest, she also felt bad about what other tells about her but still, she won’t let that words ruined her happiness. She’s happy with Blade, she’s happy with her mate and that all what’s matter to her.

Candela heaved a deep sigh before putting the books she was reading back on its shelf. She walked through the balcony and feel the fresh air that instantly kissed her skin. It also made her hair blown away a bit. When she looked down, she could see some nights on their post. Some are having their daily training leading by the head of the knights, Lord Liam. From where she stands, she saw the deep and thick forest at the end of the field. She was drowned in watching that place until she feels someone’s eyes staring at her. When Candela looked around to find the owner of those eyes, she couldn’t see anyone who probably watching her. Out of nowhere, she feels unexplainable chills and worries. It was then grow more when she remembered those dreams that keeps on hunting her every night since the day she lost her consciousness.

She remembered her… that woman who looks exactly like her. And her words that seems threats for her. Those words of her telling that she will take away all what she owned because they are only one. She and that woman is one. But how could it be possible? Unless she have a twin sister.

The wind blown again making her hug herself with her own arms. She was then ready to step back inside Blade’s room when a crow flew on the railings where she was holding earlier. She frowned at the black bird and it only stared back at her as if the bird knew that she is confused. When she drew near the bird, it flew away from her but then again, come back and perch into the other side of the railing just few meters away from her.

She felt confused even more. “Don’t you want to be touch?” she asked the bird but she knows, it won’t answer her. The bird only create a sound that sent her unknown fear.

Candela gasped for some air as she clenched her own chest. She step back from the crow and with her two eyes, she saw how the bird’s eyes turns into intense ref color. That caught her breath and as soon as the bird flew away, it seems like her breath also flew away. She weakly drowned into the floor as air seems too difficult for her.

“What’s happening to me?” she asked herself inside. Even her lips can’t be parted, it only shivers just like how her hands trembling. She’s also sweating bullets even though the wind is cold. When she tried to stand up, she stumbled again over the floor as her legs felt so numb.

She pressed her lips together and she’s sure that if she will going to see her own reflection into the mirror, her lips were bloodshot. Candela bite her lower lips inside and instantly taste the blood coming from it. She’s totally paralyzed just because of that crow.

In the middle of losing hope, she remembered Blade and their connection. She haven’t tried it yet but as far as she remembered, Blade can talk to her using his mind because she is his mate. So, probably, she could do it also. Candela tried her very best to be on focus, trying to talk to Blade in her mind. Few moments have passed and she smiled, tears rolled down in her eyes as she successfully locate him.

“What is it, Rabbit? Do you need anything?” Blade asked her.

She sob because that’s all she could do that time. Her lips seems sealed causing her to be mute.

“Hey, are you there? Why are you crying? Is there’s something wrong?” Blade’s voice were coated by worry.

She sobs again, this time louder. It made her hear Blade’s rushings footsteps as he consecutively curse. “Wait for me? I’m in my father’s office. Wait me there, I’m coming,” he said before cutting the mindlink she created.

She opened her eyes as tears continue to rolled down from her eyes. The image of the crow’s eyes earlier came back in her mind. It was as instense as vampires eyes. As red as her eyes. Could it be possible that the crow is a vampire also? Because if its eyes will be the basis, then she must say… that bird’s eyes were own by a real vampire?

“Candela! Candela! Hey, where are you?!” it was Blade who’s voice booming inside the whole room. She could even hear his voice in the balcony on where she is helplessly lying.

“Candela!” Blade shout again but she can’t able to speak and answer him as her lips didn’t cooperate. She heard the cracking sound of the door because pf Blade and his footsteps which creates creaking sounds.

“Candela!” she looked at Blade who’s sweating as hell. “What… what the hell happened to you?!” He joined her on the floor and hug her tightly. As soon as Blade caged her inside his arms, she cried.

He brushed her hair as she cried. “Hey, stop crying. Let me take you to our bed.” Then he carried her weak body. Blade bring her inside and laid her on the bed.

Her tears didn’t stop. She could even felt how her eyes hurts as f*ck because of crying. It was only cries that passed on her lips, nothing more. Not even a single word even though how much she tried to so that she could tell to Blade what just happened.

“Are you alright? Do you need something?” She didn’t replied. She tried to move her body and she felt somewhat relieve when she successfully shook her head and move her fingers. But that was the only part of her she could move, the rest was still in numbness… in paralyzed even her lips.

“Fine. You maybe just tired. I’ll call a doctor so take a rest for a while.” She nod and closed her eyes. When she closed her eyes, she instantly dragged into a tight sleep and when she woke up, it was Blade who she first see.

“Thanks God you are awake!” Blade uttered before he hugged her. She hugged him back and it surprised her that she could moved again.

Seems like Blade noticed her surprise so he pulled put from their hugs and explain her what just happened after she fall asleep. “The doctor said that someone poisoned you causing you to be paralyzed. Now tell me, Rabbit… what happened before I saw you? Why are you lying weakly on the balcony’s floor earlier?”

She gulped as she think of the crow again. There it is again… that bird’s eyes who gives her fear. “That crow… Blade, that crow is the reason why I’ve been paralyzed. It was the one who poisoned me…”

Blade’s brows turns into straight line. “A f*cking what… a crow?! How can a crow poisoned you?”

“Blade listen to me… it was not like just a crow. It’s not a crow just like you think. I saw it… I saw how it changes its eyes into a vampire eyes. It wasn’t a crow, Blade… it’s probably a vampire who shift into a bird. Blade… there’s someone who wants me dead…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t let that happen to you and to our child. I’ll protect the both of you, trust me.” She nod slightly before Blade give her a assuring smile and hug her again.

When Blade cut their hugs, he pulled a trolley on where some foods place. Her eyes quickly beamed in delight as she looked at those delectable dishes. God! She’s salivating and instantly craves on those foods.

“Was that all for mine?” she asked, picking a slice of apple from the wooden plate.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Blade patted the top of her head. “Of course, it is all yours my rabbit.” Blade pick another slice of apple and put it in front of her mouth.

She smiled before opening her mouth for that tasty and juicy one. A mixed of crunchiness, sweetness and juiciness. Darn! Her mouth craves for more.

“Can you give me another one?” She blinked her eyes on Blade like a cute puppy. Blade just chuckled before getting another slice and putting it in her mouth.

“No need to show me your puppy eyes, Rabbit. I’m already fool over you to the point that you can make me follow in your words without doing nothing.”

“Hmp. I love the apples, Blade. From now on, I like to have that in every snacks, and my meals.”

“It wasn’t you who like the apples, Rabbit… it was our baby. Right baby?” She felt touched when Blade leveled his head into her tummy and put his ears on top of it. “Baby… do you hear me? This is your father… this is my voice. I was the one who made you.”

She pinched his cheeks. “Silly lord… don’t let baby hear your words. You really a bad influence, Blade.” Blade just laughed making his eyes narrowed.

“Fine… but admit it, Rabbit. I made him right?”

“Idiot.” She rolled her eyes before pricking another slice with my fork. “I made her also, Blade. You are not the only one who made him. You are just his father and I am his mother. You can’t make a baby without me,” she said.

“Fine. I lost it again. My Rabbit is the winner, as always. Finish your foods, we have somewhere to go with.”

Her brows twitched. “Somewhere? And where?” she asked.

“Remember, the full moon is coming. We need to buy your clothes and jewelries to use. Do you like it?”

Full moon? Ah, she almost forgot thag night…

“Of course, I like it. I would love it especially that you are there, to accompany me. Let baby finish his foods first and I gonna take a bath. After that, we are got to be going.”

Blade replied her a grin making her furrowed. “What’s with the grin, Mister?”

“Nothing.” He shook his head. “I am just thinking if I could accompany you while you’re taking your shower?”

“Silly!”
