Chapter 138: The Pledge
Evanna’s high pitched question echoed through the cave. She stared at the vampire whose lips were now covered in her blood; he was quite a sight she found herself mesmerised by. But his words were what snapped her out of staring at his lips that he licked ever so slowly. Evanna gulped and looked away, blushing.
"You said I was elven-fae mixed breed.." She whispered, trailing off as her mind was trapped with a whirlwind of questions. One question standing above all else was: Who was fae in her family?
Killian’s grip on her hands relaxed, but he did not move away from her. "Fae blood is sweet and addictive, elven is somewhat similar in taste most likely because of the powers the two kinds possess. But there is a difference. You also have.." He raised his hand to her cheek, grazing gently under her right eye with his thumb, "a peculiar eye colour. They reminded me of another I knew long ago. He was half-fae and elf."
"My eyes?" Her mouth spoke before her mind caught up to her. With a frown forming on Evanna’s face, she started to wonder more and more about her mother’s side of the family. Neither her mother nor father have the same colour as she, and from what she remembered of her father’s parents, they too had blue eyes.
Killian removed his hand from her face but continued to stand close to her, his eyes flicking between hers. "You have the most bewitching eyes, Evanna. It is hard to look away from them."
Evanna stared back at Killian, thinking the same thing about his eyes. She had never met someone with such unique eyes before. Though if she was comparing who’s captivated her the most, it had to be Arawn’s with those strikingly blue hues. Evanna internally shook her head; now was not the time to be daydreaming and daydreaming about prince Arawn!
She internally sighed, wondering how mad he was right now from her disappearance.
In the meantime, while Evanna was lost in thought, Killian had been leaning his face closer to hers. Her eyes widened when she realised what his aim was, she quickly raised her knee, aiming for his groin, but the vampire was quick and moved out of the way. "You cannot just try and kiss me!" She said, exasperated.
Killian tilted his head to the side, parts of his dark hair falling across his eyes. "Why ever not?" He questioned, raking his fingers through his hair and smirking. He looked as though no one had ever said no to him before. She didn’t mind in her dreams, he thought.
