Candela

In the garden, at the back of the castle, facing the North side of the whole Crimson Palace is where Candela and Primo having their breakfast. Primo invited her to join him in his breakfast so Candela agreed to the young lord’s invitation.

They are both savoring in their mouth the foods their eating. Just a calm Friday morning for them. Having tea and seafood pancakes. The Crimson Palace was known for having such delectable seafoods sonce it was near on the sea.

In the coastline, where Candela once got together with Owen before, she saw plenty of sea creatures and sea minerals being sell in the coastal markets. From large prawns to lobster. Squids to octopus. Even the such large fishes. It was a total scenery of market where only seafoods are being sell.

“What is your plan this upcoming full moon, Candelita?” She tilted her head to Primo. She furrowed upon his question.

“I don’t know. I don’t have any ideas running into my mind though. Maybe, I’ll just spend the whole night in my room,” she answered nonchalantly.

Full Moon serves as grand occasion for all vampire in the vampire world. In that moment, all of the vampires grow their power even more powerful. It is where their whole strength came. It also serves as the night pf giving their sincere thanks to the first vampire in the world. The father of all vampires. Everyone should participate in that night but for her, she usually spend her night during full moon in her room. Sleeping ang snoring.

Not that she isn’t thankful to their ancestor but she just didn’t want to involve in any riots. Riots are popular during full moon. Vampires become aggressive that’s why. So, in order to prevent and avoid conflicts… she stayed in her room. Letting the whole night of full moon passed.

Another, there is another reason why she didn’t used into participating every time that night came. Since she was just a child, she doesn’t have the ability to control herself whenever she saw the moon turning into red.

It seems like a wake up call to a beast that is hidden inside her. She lost control whenever she saw the blood moon. Ever since before, she couldn’t explain that matter. She just get tired of unveiling that thing happening to her. That’s the main reason why every full moon, she locked herself in her room. Closing every windows and covering her eyes.

She could still remember how her parents do that thing for her before. Closing every windows their house has. Then locking her into her room while sleeping tightly. Then upon waking up in the next morning, it just nothing shoul worry about.

“That’s insensitive of you, Candelita,” Primo scoffed. “How can you sleep during that rituals? You know what, since you already told me your plan… I’m going to ruin it. As your master, I want you to attend on that upcoming event with me. Perhaps, you can be my date.”

She gracefully shook her head before taking a spoonful amount of her pancakes. “Date, huh? You’re still too young to ask for a date, Primo. But since, I can’t take breaking your heart. I’ll come with you on that event,” she answered. “But not as your date,” she added that making Primo pout.

Primo crossed his arms around his chest. He drew deep breath. “How I wish to grow fast. It’s suck being still a child. I want to grow up so that, I can ask girls to be my date whenever I want.”

“You’re too full of yourself, Primo.”

“I am not. In fact, I just stating the fact. I am a prince. I have the power to ask someone else to be my date. And I am also a hundred percent sure that anyone who I’m going to ask will take my invitation.”

Candela shook her head again. “For a young kid like you, I could say that you’ll grow up bearing too much confidence. No wonder, you’ll use your power and position as a prince to fish a lady you want.”

The whole morning passed with her and Primo just talking about the upcoming full moon. When she’s still in front of Primo, she didn’t feel any nervousness. But now that she’s alone in the main balcony of the palace, she suddenly felt tension.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It was the full moon that they are talking about. The full moon that she always eluded because of some reason. What if?

“What if during that night, I lost my control? What if I cause trouble?”

“What kind of trouble?” She almost jump out when a pair of arms encircled on her waist from behind.

The very familiar and keen manly fragrance coming from someone that makes her heart goes wild. She was sure that the man who is hugging her from behind was none other than but her mate, Lord Blade.

His breath fan her neck. It instantly sent shiver on her spine. She is used to his effect on her. She totally accept the fact that only Lord Blade can affect her in the most chaotic way. No other male vampires could do and affect her the way how he affect her.

With a sweet smiles on her lips, she pressed her body more against Lord Blade’s masculine and hard chest. Blade just tighten his arms around her waist. It seems like it was his way of telling her how he loves hugging her. She felt secure. So much secure and away from danger every time she’s caged in his arms.

She didn’t felt like that before. Before, she always worried about her safety but now, with Lord Blade… her safety was more than secure.

“What trouble you’ll cause?” asked by Blade. Bringing back the topic earlier.

She shook her head, smoothly. “Nothing. Maybe you just heard it wrong,” she denied instead. How could she tell him that she is actually losing her control every full moon?

‘I will only sent confusion on him,’ she said on her mind.

“Blade…” she called his name.

“What?” She was being hugged even tight to the point that she is having difficulty on breathing. But who cares? She enjoyed it. Blade’s arms hugging her tiny waist sent contentment and never ending happiness on her.

It seems like it was only her and him, on the picture. Like they weren’t afraid if someone will caught them in that position. Gone the worries. It was only them… drowning and keeps on falling for each other.

“Will you take care of me until the end?” Candela inquired.

She heard him chortle before kissing the side of her head. “Of course, I will. I’ll take care of you until the end, Rabbit.”

“Will you accept me despite of everything?” she asked again while looking at the green forest of the West.

“Everything what?”

“Just answer me, idiot.”

“Of course, I’ll stick on you. Despite of everything that you’re saying. But by the way, why are you even asking me that question? Are you having doubts on me, Rabbit?” There is a hint of sulkiness on his voice.

Without any hesitation, she swirled around to face him. She cupped his both cheeks perfectly. Blade pouted at her that makes her smiled.

“I love you. I really am. I’m asking you those questions because I am afraid of my own feeling. I’m afraid of my feelings towards you, Blade. Because what if, you just wake up on the next morning not feeling the feelings you have for me? I’m afraid that next time, you’ll going dump me.”

Blade pinched the tip of her nose. “Silly, Rabbit. Listen to me carefully, okay?” She nodded like a docile kid.

“Any thoughts that currently running through yoir mind, I’ll make sure of you that, that will never happen. Trust me. I won’t going to dump you, Rabbit. My feelins for you will never fade. So, clear your thoughts. Put it away and keep this on your mind instead. I love you, Candela.”
