Candela

“Rabbit…”

Candela pressed her eyes tight.

“Rabbit…” Someone’s voice made her alerted instantly. And when she felt someone that is patting her cheeks constantly, she opened her eyes.

But as soon as her eyes landed on the owner of the voice, Candela’s face softened. Her eyes then filled witg tears as she stared at him. She’s biting her lips as she met his eyes, only shows the longing she also feels for these passed few days.

And when he smiled, she intantly threw herself to her. Pressing her body against him. Feeling the warm that she longed for those nights that she slept alone in her room that seems prison cell to her.

“Hey… stop crying, Rabbit.” He said, caressing her long crimson hair. “I am here. I am already here, my Candela. I won’t let you cry again. We will never be separated again, I promised that.” He added before putting a kiss om top of her head.

Instead of stopping her tears, it just freely flowed down on her cheeks. She can’t help but to cry her heart out. Since the day she found out that she is her mother’s captive, there’s no night have passed that she is not longing for him.

For his kiss.

For his hug.

For his arms that always give her the warmth she needs, the security she always seek.

In his arms, Candela knows that she is safe. As long as she caged on his arms… danger couldn’t fear her.

In Blade’s arms… it was a whole new different world. She is at peace.

“Do you missed me?” Blade asked.

She sniff as she looked him up with her eyes still on tears. “Of course, I definitely missed you. I missed you so much, Blade. I thought that we will never see each other again. Thanks God, you are finally here.” She sniffed again.

Blade chuckled. “Silly.” He pinched the tip of her nose. “Didn’t I tell you that no one can ever separate us? Wherever you are… wherever you go, I will follow you. I will found you, my lady.” As if a cue, Candela instantly felt something as she heard his words.

As she stared at him even more, deep into his eyes… Candela gulped in horror. It wasn’t Blade whom she’s talking to. It wasn’t him whom she hugging, whom kissed her. Because as she stared on his eyes… it wasn’t the color of blood she saw but an intense gold gleaming in wickedness.

It wasn’t Blade she’s with but Lucas–the stinky werewolf – who deceived her.

After realizing it, Candela forcefully pushed him using her strength. It made Lucas’ body hit the nearest tree. The tree parted into two because of the impact but Lucas just stood up, fixing his clothes as if he isn’t affected by what Candela did. He then grinned at her that sent her unknown chills.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is that what you got, my Luna?” His brows twitched as he confidently walked near her again with both of his hands on his pockets.

Candela started to step backward, from slow pace to fast until her body hit a hard surface. When she twirled around, she see nothing but a huge body of tree. Blockingher way step backward. She gulped before facing Lucas again but to her shocked, he is already in front of her. Towering her until he intentionally pinned her to the tree.

She tried to pushed him again but it then became useless. There’s nothing happen as she pushed him even she gave all her strength on to that move.

Lucas smirked, proudly. “Seems like my little rabbit is scared. Am I scaring you, Rabbit?” he asked, using the endearment that Blade gave her.

“Where did you get the Rabbit?” she asked, confused but annoyed.

Lucas just smiled at her, showing his bright white teeth. He didn’t answered her by words rather he just added an annoying whistle that frustrate her more.

“Why are you calling me Rabbit?” Candela asked again.

“Why I called you rabbit? Well, simply because you looks like a rabbit who’s afraid of being caught by her predators. Who’s hiding herself desperately because she wants to save her life.” He slightly leaned backwards, putting little space between them. “My lady… my lady…” He chimed while checking her out from head to toe.

“Did you know that when your mother, Amari, came into our palace, I didn’t believe her. I didn’t believe on her about having a beautiful daughter. I even laughed at her because I can’t even see you on her mind as she talks about you.”

Candela’s eyes went wide when Lucas’ words tells something to her.

He can read minds?

“Of course I am, my Luna…” Lucas answered her speculation before tugging some strands of her hair on the back of her ears. “I do read minds, My Luna that’s why when I can’t read the mind of your mother, I didn’t believe her. I can’t even see a face of beautiful vampire as she described you. But now, after seeing your beauty… I can’t help but to thanked my Lord for giving you to me, Candela…”

“I am not yours!” She shouted, pushing him again. It slightly made him steps backwards and put thicker distance between them but still, it wasn’t enough.

“Who says you are not mine?” Lucas asked, twitching his brow. “As far as I know, your mother promised you to me as her payment for the help she seeked. In order for us to help her, she must pay us and it happened that you are the payment she give. Fortunately, you are the most precious payment I ever received.” Lucas tried to touch her but she instantly stopped his hand before it could touch her agin.

“It was my mother you talked to, not me. I am not the payment for the help you give to her. I will never marry you, werewolf. Mark my words! I am only destined to tmy one and only mate, Blade Crimson of the Crimson Palace of the East territory. He is the only vampire I will offer my life is. And you? You are nothing compared to him!” she growled but immediately got stopped when she felt something hit her face.

Then she realized that it was Lucas who slapped her very very hard that make her spew some blood.

“Mated, hah?” Lucas chuckled. “And to the vampires I hated the most?” Candela couldn’t help but ti faced him again with her eyes asking for a question. When she saw Lucas eyes burning in anger, she bit on the bottom of her lips.

“Blade Crimson…” He chimed. “Are you aware that he is the vampire that killed my younger sister?” Lucas asked sending her into bundles of questions again.

Blade killed Lucas’ younger sister?

How? Why?
