Chapter 390 - Good News

Seeing the slightly panicky look on her face, Gavriel gently pulled her to him and made her face him, her feet spread apart as her knees were on the bed. Gavriel held her slender waist and he placed the side of his face gently against her stomach as if to listen to the sounds from within.

"Y-you can hear it? The second heartbeat?" Evie's voice was excited as she pondered the possibility.

Gavriel looked up at her and smiled. His grey eyes twinkled brighter than the stars in the night sky.

He did not need to say anything because Evie could tell from the look in his eyes, from that expression itself. And she lunged herself at him and hugged him, tearing up from happiness.

"I can't believe it!" she cried with happiness, remembering those times when she was told it was very hard for a vampire and human to conceive a child together. Yet now, she was actually pregnant already! "Oh G.o.d… I'm so happy, Gav."

"Me too, love…" he replied, and he hugged her tight again. Both of their hearts beating wildly from happiness and antic.i.p.ation and excitement. They could not quite explain the feelings that were running wild within them, so they just hugged and murmured 'I love you' to each other as they basked in each other's love.

After what they both decided was the happiest morning of their lives, Gavriel gathered Evie in his arms again and helped her get ready and changed her clothes.

"I am going to tell Zanya and the others about this piece of good news, Gav." Evie said, smiling from ear to ear and Gavriel nodded wholeheartedly. He thought it was a good idea that her people know that she was pregnant, so they would take care of her more vigilantly and not let her work too much in case she overexerted herself.

And he was going to tell this awesome news to his men, and he found that he actually could not wait to do so. It was such a strange and amazing feeling.

"When will you move on to the South?" she then asked as Gavriel help her brush out her long silvery locks with so much gentleness.

"I've sent spies there to check on things first. How about you? When do you plan to return to Crescia?"

"I think we must return tomorrow. There's too much that we need to get done there and… I know my people are not really that comfortable here." Evie said a little apologetically.

"That's understandable. The light faes lived in the forest all their lives and not in cities like this."

"Yes."

Evie stared at Gavriel's reflection through the mirror.

"I'm going to the south tomorrow then." He said, staring back at her through the mirror. "So, we must spend this day until tonight together." He smiled and then bent over her. "Do you have some idea on what we're going to do?"

"Hmm…" Evie tried to think. "I think I'd like to just cuddle with you all day –"

"Just cuddle, my love?" he lifted his brow. Then his grey eyes burned with a desire so thick and strong that made her unable to come back to her senses immediately.

He chuckled and straightened up. "Alright… let's just cuddle then, but we need to leave the room to eat. You need nutrition, Evie. More so you're eating for two now…" Evie could not help but blush.

Swiftly, he gathered her in his arms again and Evie just let him as she snuggled into his embrace.

Leaning her head on his strong shoulder, Evie spoke. "I'm sorry I dozed off immediately last night," she said and Gavriel paused for a moment.

"Just sorry?" he naughtily asked. It was obvious to her what he wanted her to say next. And she could only give in, knowing that this man would probably torture her again the next chance that he gets.

"I'll make up to you so…" Evie trailed off at the sight of a beautiful wide smile that graced his gorgeous face.

"I'll look forward to that, wife. Ah… I already can't wait."

Evie: ". . ." and she rolled her eyes dramatically as Gav just laughed even harder at her expression.

…

In the western wing of Ravens castle, Zanya had just stepped out of her room when she b.u.mped into Zolan and Luc along the corridor.

They greeted each other for a brief moment then they walked together in silence. Last night, Zanya was so troubled that she could not fall asleep. She could not get that frustrating lug of a vampire out of her mind no matter how hard she tried until she was forced to use magic to get herself to sleep.

Upon waking up, her thoughts drifted back to him again and now that she saw these vampires, she had such a strong urge to ask them about Leon. Where did he go when he bolted out of his room last night? Did he return? Or could it be that he went to the Middle Lands already?

"Leon had left for the Middle lands last night," Zolan said, already guessing what was on Zanya's mind and making her halt in her steps.

"I see…" was all she said, not knowing how to respond or what to say next.

"He didn't even take anything with him." Zolan muttered softly but loud enough for Zanya to hear.

"He even left his sword behind… that idiot!" Luc added and that made Zanya's eyes widen.

"He didn't take his sword too?!" she exclaimed suddenly, and the vampire duo nodded in unison.

"I could only guess that he had left in a hurry. He didn't even wear his cloak." Zolan sighed, "Let's just hope that the b.u.mbling idiot is fine, going there with nothing at all." He shook his head again and then they walked off, leaving Zanya standing there in a daze. Worry filled her eyes again.

At that moment, Kariza appeared behind her.

"I've been calling out to you for a while now. Are you alright?" the light fae asked and Zanya looked back at her with a blank look before snapping out of it in the next second.

"I'm… I'm going back to the Middle Lands first." She sputtered out quickly.

"W-what?" Kariza was taken aback at her sudden declaration which seemed to come out of nowhere.

"Tell the Queen I'm heading there first, okay? I need to go after that idiot now!"

"S-sure… I'll tell her but –"

"Thank you!" Zanya then jumped on the nearest window ledge before spreading out her wings.

"Wait!" Kariza could only look at Zanya who was already flying away, utterly speechless.
