Chapter 15: Disaster Averted (Ch.15)

Neveah leaned her head against the edge of the wooden bath, watching through hooded lids as the water was dyed red with her blood.

She heaved a quiet sigh knowing she would do herself no good if she remained within the bath water for too long, she quickly washed herself and stepped out.

Neveah stood before her floor length mirror, inspecting the wound left behind by the black dragon.

Neveah frowned, this was the longest it had taken any of her wounds to heal but she guessed for a wound of such severity, this was already unbelievably rapid healing.

Neveah did not bother putting any healing herbs on it, the lighter wounds had already begun closing up and she knew in a day or two, she would be as good as new.

Neveah picked up a clean strip of bandage, she wrapped it securely around her torso before she pulled on her night robe and tossed the bloodied remains of the white tunic as well as the black tunic into the fire place.

Neveah sighed, she had taken the time to return to fetch the shredded pieces of her ball gown as well, just to make sure no traces were left behind other than the obvious blood trail.

However there was nothing Neveah could do about that, she could only reassure herself that their search would lead to a dead end.

Neveah did not share the scent of her wolf, and so they could never trace the scent of the blood back to her and even if they looked out for everyone who had an injury, they still would not come looking around Neveah's quarters.

The most likely conclusion would be the fact that the unidentified Alpha wolf had left Eclipse borders which suited Neveah perfectly.

Neveah threw the remains of the distasteful dress into the fireplace as well, now that she was back within the comfort of her quarters and with no Governess breathing down her back,

Neveah felt as though she could finally breathe as she pulled on a pair of night robes and headed to bed, collapsing down on her bed with exhaustion.

Neveah lay there, gazing up ahead, unable to believe she had just risked exposing her most closely guarded secret to save the pup of her Governess.

The very same Governess who had taken it as a point of duty to make Neveah's day to day life a living hell.

"You are completely nuts Veah...there is no saving you." Neveah reprimanded herself as she let her mind slowly return to calm knowing she had successfully averted this disaster.

Neveah had a feeling there would be many more to come, but at least for now, she could take a deep breath and just sleep away all the tension.

Whatever came afterwards, Neveah was certain she would make it through... she had survived this long walking on eggshells, she was used to it now.

Neveah then pulled her covers aside and climbed into bed, falling asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.


Chapter 16: What News (Ch.16)

Neveah awoken the next morning to loud knocking on her door, she groaned in annoyance as she pulled her pillow over her ears and turned over on her bed, facing her back to the door.

The knocking continued, growing louder and more persistent the longer Neveah ignored it and it was also accompanied by a voice.

"Princess! Princess!" The voice kept on calling and Neveah growled beneath her breath as she sat up on her bed, cursing her pathetic fate.

"Can't I get even a moment of peace?!" Neveah huffed in annoyance as she got off her bed and headed to the door, unlatching the lock and fixing the young she wolf at the other side a blank stare.

Neveah found herself even more irritated when the lips of the young she wolf stretched into an overly bright smile and Neveah wondered what exactly could make anyone so excited in the morning hours.

"Who the hell are you?" Neveah asked in a blank tone.

"Morning greetings princess, I am Laila, to fill in for your Governess till she is restored to health. I will take care of all your domestic affairs and otherwise from henceforth." The young she wolf announced with a bow.

Neveah sighed, she should have known her step mother would never let her go unmonitored for even a single moment.

Fate had just taken away the infuriating Governess and here came another to watch her every move and report back to their queen.

"Whatever." Neveah murmured as she moved away from the door and headed back to her bed, laying down and pulling the covers over her head.

"I apologise for waking you up so early, Your Grace. I did hear the Princess is usually cranky in the morning, I was just eager to get started and hurried over here as soon as I was assigned, I hope you can forgive my oversight." Laila apologized.

Neveah sighed as she turned away from her new attendant who seemed rather chatty for a spy.

"Oh right! Did your grace hear of the events that happened in the Eclipse Palace last night?! The news is everywhere!" Laila exclaimed as she went around, tidying up Neveah's room dutifully.

Neveah perked up at this, frowning slightly as she watched Laila actually put her things in order, which was surprising as Neveah's Governess never actually did anything other than yell at Neveah.

Neveah was always the one to take care of the cleaning and laundry and all other things related to herself, although Neveah did not awfully mind it.

It gave her something to do when she was not being paraded around like a commodity by her father.

"What news?" Neveah asked as she pulled her pillow off from over her head and sat up, wincing slightly at the searing pain that shot through her side.

"Your Grace doesn't know?! The Dragon King was here!" Laila exclaimed, excited to have Neveah's interest.

Neveah's eyes widened in horror as she slumped back on her bed.

'Dragon King?! What Dragon King?! The actual supreme lord of the supernatural realm?! That Dragon King?!' Neveah thought in panic.
