Chapter 31
If it was a mistake already then Candela is definitely guilty. If having and keeping her enemy closer than usual is a sign of her defeat then she really lost the battle.
Days. Nights. Days and nights passed of she, thinking about what she have done. Searching for regrets because of the impulsive decision she made. But even in those days and nights of thinking and finding her regrets, she couldn’t find it.
Her brain says it was wrong. That what she have done was a mortal sin for her especially for her parents. But her heart… deep in her heart, it wasn’t a mistake.
Embracing him, Lord Blade as her mate wasn’t a mistake at all. Even if he is from the enemy’s side she couldn’t find any mistake on finally giving herself to him.
Her conscience hunts her already. The promise she gave to her parents before they lost their breath, it was all forgotten. Her hatred to Crimson Family seems vanished into thin air. She can’t feel herself waking in the morning with a big burden in her heart. And every time she saw Lord Magnus, there’s no anger she can feel in her heart. That was weird after all she gone through. Even in herself, she can’t understand what’s happening to her.
She must hate them. Lord Magnus. Lady Lorraine. Primo and even her mate, Lord Blade. She must hate the whole family of Crimson because of the death of her parents. But how can she still do that when her heart already accepts her defeat.
Gone the revenge. Gone the hatred. She wanted to live in peace. That’s what she is now wanting after what happens to her and Lord Blade.
She wanted to take the risk of loving him. Of loving her mate that she once considered as her enemy. Perhaps, her parents would understand her situation now. She wanted to give up that revenge and even she felt bad about it, her decision is final.
She will take risk. She’ll going to live her new life where there are only peace and love.
“Good morning, Rabbit,” Her breath hitched when strong arms wrapped on her tiny waist. It was Lord Blade’s arms, hugging her from behind.
She smiled in contentment. Since that day, Lord Blade became clingy and sweet on her. And yeah, she likes it. She likes her new Blade which is far from the Blade she first encounter.
“How was your sleep?” Lord Blade turned around her body, effortlessly to face him.
She smiled before cupping his both cheeks. She’s not worry if someone will caught them on their position. No one come in the palace back garden when it’s still dawn.
“I sleep tight. How about you?” she asked.
Lord Blade smirk. “You didn’t know how bad I restrained myself of coming in your room just to feel you again.” Instantly, she strike his chest.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“You always claim me, Blade since that day. Yesterday night was just my rest.”
Blade pushed some strands of her hair on the back of her ears. “That’s why I deterred myself. I’m still a good boy, isn’t I?”
She pouted a bit before rolling her eyes on him. “Have you take your breakfast? I’ll cook you some–” Blade didn’t allow her to finish her words as she already felt his soft lips against hers.
After a moment or two, Blade pulled out from the kiss. “I really love your lips, Rabbit.”
“Only the lips?” she asked teasingly.
Blade laughed. He then pinched the point of her nose. “Silly. Of course, aside from your lips, I am madly in love with you. The whole part of you…”
And with that, even if it’s cliche, she felt butterflies on her stomach. She pulled out from his hugs. Sure to Earth that her face already tainted with red colors. And she needs to hide it from him unless Lord Blade will tease her again.
She walked on the path, taking the direction of the wide fields where knights always train. After putting enough distance from Lord Blade, she turned to face him. Then, she smiled at him widely.
“Are your legs are strong?” she asked.
Lord Blade nodded instantly. “Then you can catch me when I run there?” She pointed out the extremity of the fields.
Lord Blade crossed his arms around his chest. He looked at her with so much intensity. “Are you challenging me, didn’t you?”
She nod. “When you caught me, I’ll be your breakfast for this morning but if you didn’t, you’re not allowed to have me for one whole week.”
She instantly heard his consecutive curse. Because of that, she laughed. “Are you afraid of losing, Lord Blade?”
“Darn it, Rabbit! I told you, stop calling me Lord. And how the hell you say that I’ll lost this game? Be ready in three, Rabbit…”
Because of shocked, Candela run immediately away from him. Fuck! She started the dare but she is the one who is afraid. Using her full speed as a vampire, she run fast. In just a minute, she could see the end of the field. She smiled in victory while running. But her smile soon faded when two strong arms caught her. Lifting her body from the ground.
Candela squealed. She also begun to struggle on Lord Blade’s arms so she could free from him. But what should she expect about him? Of course, he is stronger than her.
Because of continuous struggling on him, they both threw on the ground. Blade’s movement were sharp. She just found herself, being nailed on the ground by him.
Blade smirked proudly. He even arch his brows to her. “So, this says victory then?”
“Hmmp, you cheat, Blade,” she said instead even what she have said wasn’t true. Who cheat? Of course, he didn’t. It was just her alibis.
“I didn’t cheat, Rabbit. So, where’s my breakfast?” Blade started to showered her face some kisses.
God! How she like it? She really like it. Oh, no… like wasn’t the right words to describe her feelings towards his kisses. She loves it.
“You can have me now. Go on, drink from me, Blade. I know you’ve been reigning your blood lust towards me.”
Blade smiled before sealing her lips with his lips. Then after few minutes, he started to trailed his lips on her jawline down to her neck and collar bones.
Candela moaned because of the irresistible feelings. Her body were sent on fire. The wind were cold especially because it is still dawn but her body was in heat. In so much heat. And it was him… it was only Lord Blade who could sent her on fire in the middle of dawn.
From the east, where the sun slowly rising is where she was facing. And when the sun already shown up, that was the moment when she felt Blade’s sharp fangs dug on her neck. He started drinking from her. And because of the mate bond reigning the two of them, Candela pressed closer to Blade’s body and wrapped her arms around his nape.
Under the morning sunlight, they drink from each other. Savoring each other’s delicious bloods that can only fed their lust. It was the mate thing between her and her parents murderer son.
