Kumiko85Hey, everyone! I hope you like my book. I'm still new at this, so just careful with the critics. :) Soon, I post an author's note about my schedule and some other piece of information. Also, I had to split this part into 2 chapters, because there is a lot going on. Tomorrow I will post the next one! If you like it please, leave a review and gems! :) Cheers!

Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 8 - Dream comes true?
Eliza POV I stare at her in disbelief but she giggles again. "Are you sure I am not dead?" - I ask her but she just waves her hand to dismiss my question. "Why would you be dead? Silly girl" - she chuckles again. "Will you, please, stop giggling? I don't understand what is happening right now" - my voice was full of irritation. I don't believe her and I want to know the truth. "This is the truth." - she said simply with a smile. "I know it's hard to believe, but this place is where your most hidden emotions are placed." - I again just look at her, never have I ever felt this way before. It is too dark, too intense. "It can't be me. I... these emotions, these colors here... too dark for me..." - no way, I tell myself, it's not me. "I don't have these kinds of dark thoughts in me." - I say to her. I see her eyes glowing purple for a minute, but then she blinks a few times and says to me. "Maybe, it's not from the present." - I didn't have dark thoughts before. It hurt when people

Eliza POV I stand there, frozen in my spot, and dreamily look into his eyes. Everything around us just stops and we look at each other. I lost myself in those emerald globes. These eyes invite me to get closer, touch, and ignite passion. Except I see nothing warm in them. Just cold, hard emeralds, like the gems, hard and unbending. I even see a flicker of confusion. No, it's disbelief, but I ignore it. "Are you deaf? I asked you a question!" - his cruel words snap me out of this reverie. I realize I'm feeling cold, and it has nothing to do with the weather. "I... meet... I... someone..." - try to make sense of my confused state. He stares at me like I lost my mind. "I don't have all day." - he shoots me a glare, then sighs and says: "If you can't say it then go on your way! I don't have time to deal with you." - and he just turns around and storms to his car. I feel myself a fool, but at the same time, I'm pissed because he was so crass with me. What the hell is wrong with him?
Last Updated : 2022-12-30Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 10 - The first ever...
Rick POV ~~~~ FEW DAYS PRIOR HE MEETS HIS MATE ~~~~ I just placed my ass on the chair and Uncle started asking me questions about my trip, and what I have learned. We sat at a long table, his place is always at the head of the table, and I sat on the left side of him. When I was young I always had to sit at the other end of the table, but I didn't like to be that far from my only family, and I was rarely at home, so I needed closeness. So, when I put my plate beside Uncle and told him I will sit here from now on, he nodded and said: "I thought this day never comes." - he understood me far more than I understand myself. This long table was a modest, dark oakwood with at least 20 chairs around it. Those are equally thick with some local patterns. The food is rich and tasteful, but we always drank blood. Even on social occasions, only disguised as wine. When I finished my report, he patted my shoulders and said: "I'm proud of you. Now, you are the perfect assassin." - as he smiled a

Rick POV I underestimated her ability. I met her 3 times in the last 2 days and we ended up fucking. When I was around her I forgot what I wanted and acted like I was in haze. But I wasn't bitten by her, I would remember and I even checked in the mirror. I needed to speak to Eliana to lessen Diana's power over me. I remember a pink fog before I end up like a fucking dog in heat. Every fucking time! I got a potion that lessens the effect of her power for a while, I hope I would be able to talk to her before her ability overpowers the potion. The worst thing is I still wasn't able to get off. The last time I was close but she passed out before I relieve myself. And necrophilia isn't my thing, so I left her room frustrated. And yet again, I'm here before her door, contemplating what I should do differently this time. I drank the potion 2 minutes ago because according to Eliana, this potion takes effect immediately. I knocked 2 times when a moaned "Come in" was heard from the ot

Rick POV I slowly lift her up from the bed, my hand on her neck tightens. She gasps, her grip on my wrist loosens for a second, but after that, I see the determination in her eyes, and grips me harder. I pull her face closer to me. "What do you want from me?" - I ask her coldly, and her eyes widen in fear. "I... I just... I need you" - she whimpers in my hand. My grip on her throat is getting more robust than before. "LIAR!" - I snarl at her face. She's visibly choking but still holds onto my hand with both of her hands. "Please..." - she begs - "I tell... you... everything..." - she has tears welling up in her eyes - "I really... need... you..." - that moment her hands drop beside her, and her eyelashes are closing. I realize I choked her too much, so I release her neck and she falls on the bed. She doesn't move, but I hear her heart beating wildly and her breaths are slow but steady. Great, she fainted. I go back to the bar, pour another glass of whiskey for myself and sit b
Last Updated : 2023-01-05Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 13 - I didn't see that coming...
Rick POV After I came back to my senses, I walked toward her and stopped in front of her. I didn't know if I believe this turn of events. Suddenly the room alongside my mind seemed to have a little space. When she calmed down, she just sat in the chair, and stared, lost in thoughts. I went to grab the wine and poured her a glass and for me a whiskey. I sat down on the other chair and looked back at her. Now, I am sitting in my chair, and trying to figure out what is she trying to tell me. She's sitting with pulled-up legs, and sipping her wine. "Are you feeling better now?" - I ask her, gentler than before but still, it may seem cold to others. She looks back at me, smiling, but that smile doesn't reach her eyes. Now she looks like an innocent little girl and for the first time since I met her, I don't find anything sexy about her. Don't get me wrong, she's still that beautiful woman but now, she doesn't feel like she needs to seduce me, the atmosphere is changed between us. "I h

Hello Lovely Readers! The last two days I had so many things to do, I couldn't update anything. But since I promised I felt at least I give you the schedule I was long overdue. This week I'm still at home, so I will try to write every day at least 1 chapter. Tomorrow I will give you 2 to make up for the past few days. But starting next week, I will go back to work and my schedule will definitely drop. My job requires me to be there 12 hours a day and 4 days in a week. Or more if I have to do overtime. So that is why I dare not promise more than 3 chapters a week since I don't know how tired I will be. If I have a good day, maybe I wrote 2, but mostly 1 chapter a day for 3 days. I'm sorry if it's a disappointment but until I can change my daily job I have to compromise somehow. Until then, you can ask me anything and I will answer it, except if it's a spoiler... ;) I hope you enjoy reading this story of mine and give me your thoughts about it. I'd really appreciate it. And if

Rick POV ~~~~ A FEW DAYS AFTER HE MET HIS MATE ~~~~ Eugene is driving me crazy. I don't know how but my wolf didn't shut up since we met that girl. I swear I miss the months he didn't speak. He almost took control of my body because he wanted to hold his mate. I feel something is not right in this equation. Every time I have a little bit of hope, things turn out to be dangerous. I mean, more dangerous than usual since I am the one who brings death to others. Why do I feel that this girl will be my death? I refuse to believe in fairy tales, a beast like me doesn't deserve a second chance. And I was fucked over the last time a mate showed up in my life, so... thanks, but no, thanks. My life is complicated, and I don't need another female to compromise my accomplishments. Speaking of females... Diana tried to make contact with me, even came to that meeting where her father, my Uncle, and I tried to smooth things over. She made everything worse. I realized she manipulates her fathe

Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 18 - The ghost of the past
Rick POV Well, fuck it is... "And what exactly do you mean by that?" - I ask, hoping I can avoid it somehow. "She will be your death. You will die. You cease to exist... shall I continue?" - she asks irritated. "I know what doom means, thank you very much!" - I answer sarcastically. - "What I meant is what will happen? What causes it?" - Is there a way to avoid it? I didn't dare to ask. She would think I am a wuss. She looks at me like I have just grown two heads. She takes a deep breath like I just annoy her. She slowly lowers her eyes to my chest then back at my face and eyes. I see a flicker of confusion in her opal eyes, then it disappears. "How did you get that scar?" - she asks "How do you know I have a scar?" - I ask back. We look straight into each other's eyes. As if we're challenging each other. She then closes her eyes and smoothes her hand through her hair. "Not that is any of your business, but since I owe you..." - she trails off as it causes her some kind of a pa
Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 17 - The Seer
Rick POV I'm closer to this cave with every heartbeat. The Seer's hideout is not something I should take lightly. She's guiding me, but still, I'm tested in this fog. I was never afraid of anything. At least, not anymore. But this fog gives me chills to the bone. My senses are not working here, only my instincts. You know the feeling, you're trapped inside a room, 'cause the lock is not opening and you start to feel overwhelmed? Now, this is a feeling I am not comfortable with. I even get visions about my past - especially my biggest regrets. I try to shrug them away but they keep coming. My vampire side feels really anxious. That word I never knew would ever use to describe it. My stoic, calm, and prideful vampire side suddenly mirrors my uncertainty. And Eugene went into slumber. I stop for a minute because that picture just came into mind is devastating. That was the moment that destroyed me. Completely and utterly. This particular event happened when Beth died. The sheer pa
Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 16 - Unusual
Eliza POV The last two days went like a blur. After the moment I read that letter I couldn't sleep even for a minute. I dozed off here and there, but I am so stressed about that mysterious message I can't think about anything else. I am at the college's camera room and observe all the monitors cautiously. There was not even a burglary in here before, but I should be careful. I don't know who sent it and I don't know how much they know about me. I can't express how much I fear for my life, although sometimes I feel it would be better without me, still, even the thought of dying right now is so tremendous, I start shaking in my seat. I try to take calming breaths, I try to shut my mind but nothing helps until an image pops up in my head. An image of that asshole of a lord who called me a wrench. My fear suddenly turns to anger and I just want to smack his head to make me feel this insecure again. I know I am not an extraordinary person, or even have a beautiful body, but I stayed
Deceived Souls of the Past Chapter 15 - Arrogant and mysterious
Eliza POV "Women introduce themselves first before they slip into my bed." - he says coldly, his eyes not leaving mine. I'd smack him in the face but he brought me here, so I should be thankful. I should be, but I don't feel that at all. I am so mad, I can't help the reply that slips out of my mouth. "And men ask permission before they undress me!" - I say angrily. "It means, it happened before?" - he asks, seemingly expressionless but I feel he's just making fun of me. "No!" - I"m glaring at him. I want to stand up, but the moment I pull the cover from myself I feel cold and when I look at my legs I realize, I only have this tiny thing on me. "Where are my things? My purse and my clothes?" - I ask him embarrassed and quickly cover myself again. "Why? Didn't you just say men need to ask permission to undress you?" - he asks in the same cold tone and slowly steps closer to me. Instinctively I pull the cover higher, trying to hide. "Don't come any closer!" - but he doesn't car
