Chapter 39: Love Shared Love? The word hung on the air like the wind. Elanore's mind struggled to process what she'd heard. It was a foreign concept to her—something that only existed in fairy tales or from a distant memory on Earth. It caused her to pause and sit there, staring at Naela with uncertainty. An awkward silence lingered between both of them. Elanore's face and the tips of her ears reddened, her heart becoming a race horse. The galloping rhythm inside of her was unrelenting. She couldn't pull back the reins of her pulse. "I love you, mistress," Naela said again. She reiterated it as if it was a profound truth of reality. Elanore wondered how such a thing was possible. Are people supposed to love someone they don't know very well. She knows so little about me. Yet, the vampire saw the conviction behind the wyvern's pink eyes. Those slit pupils bore into Elanore with a personal truth behind them. What about Ella's own feelings? Was the reddening of her ears, the thumping of her heart, and the tingling in her stomach all an illusion? "I..." Naela pressed a soft finger against Ella's lips. The wyvern's adorable face loomed closer, and her eyes searched inside of the vampire's purple orbs. She spoke tenderly. "There is no need to answer my feelings right away, mistress. I didn't tell you how I felt to receive an answer. I told you how I felt because I couldn't suppress it any longer. This longing in my heart..." The wyvern pulled Elanore's hand to her chest, and the vampire's eyes widened. Naela's heart pounded against Ella's delicate fingers. Both of their pulses had entered a horse race. The jockeys were determined to win the race of love, and Naela bet on being first place. "Mistress," Naela said softly, running her fingers across Elanore's cheek, and touching the vampire's ear. Elanore could do nothing but stare down at her wyvern. The vampire could not find her usual self. Their breaths were so close together and inching closer with every second. That was until Elanore felt a small tug on her robes and flinched. "Lady, lady, lady!" The vampire's eyes darted towards the intruder, spotting a little girl. Surprisingly, it was one that Elanore had seen before. She saw pointed, brown feline ears beneath a hood, and a thin tail of the same color waved behind her. The girl from the gate? "Are you a witch?" Trailing behind the little girl, the mother caught up and grabbed onto her hand. "Taliyana! I told you not to run off." Malania looked at Elanore and bowed apologetically. "I am sorry for my daughter." Elanore shook her head and waved her off. She was almost thankful for the interruption, while also feeling like the two had ruined something special. The vampire sighed, standing up, and stretching her arms above her head. The little girl looked between Elanore and her mother. "But mommy, you said..." Malania cut her daughter off. "Do you remember the other thing I said?" Taliyana's ears and tail drooped low, and she frowned. Though, she didn't try to argue with her mother. "Yes, I remember. I am sorry, mommy." "I remember you two from the gate," Elanore said. Malania lips curled slightly. "That's right. Once again, I apologize for her behavior. I hope we didn't offend you." Elanore turned her head towards Naela, but the wyvern didn't seem like she would say anything. The vampire turned her attention back towards the mother and her daughter. Taliyana hid slightly behind her mother, clinging towards the cat woman's clothes. "I honestly don't mind at all. We were just um..." Elanore's cheeks reddened, and she stopped herself from continuing that specific train of thought. "We weren't really doing anything anyway. What was it that your daughter wanted to know?" The little girl's eyes sparkled, and she nearly jumped in front of her mother again. However, the elder cat girl stopped her with a hand. "Taliyana, I already told you to stop." The mother focused back on the vampire in front of her. "I meant no offense to you, madame
