2022-03-29 14:51:40"Give me a second. I will just lock the doors downstairs," Carter said after he had calmed.
I nodded and he moved so fast like light. Before I made my way to the bed—just two second had passed—he was already back on my side.
"That was quiet quick," I mumbled as I sat on the bed. I tapped the space beside me, gesturing him to sit.
"With you not in my sight... it makes me uncomfortable. You attract dangers and that what's I'm worried about," he said and sat next to me.
I chuckled. "Well, that is me. I got used to it anyway, so you don't have to worry too much."
"How can I stop worrying too much when the types of dangers you attract are too dangerous for you? Just like earlier..." His eyes turned dark again which means that he is mad again. "What happened makes me want to stay wherever you are always to watch over you. I... don't know what would I do if something bad happens to you, Eve. Do you understand that?"
His voice was deep a

To hear it from Carter himself that it wasn't stated in their rules that it is forbidden for a vampire to have a relationship with a woman gave me relief. I may be in love with him deeply but I will not want him to break their rules for me and be given a death sentence later on. Harming Carter in any way is the least thing I would want. I would rather die than be the reason of his death."If what this vampire is doing is against your rules, then why is your government not doing anything?" I asked, my fingers playing on the pillow on my lap."I think the news hadn't reached them yet. But my father already submitted a report earlier this morning, so they would probably work on it soon." His voice then went lower. "Don't you mind if I stay here? You know, I will be just around the corner... to watch you, to guard you. I really can't have my peace of mind if you stay here alone, especially when there is a creature hunting people at night."

I smiled and closed the gap between us. His hands were immediately on my waist the moment my lips touched his. However, he held me not to pull me, but to held me in place with amazing control."I'm sorry," I muttered after the kiss that took only several seconds. "I couldn't help.""That was my line," he said and before I could react, he attacked me with gentle kisses.His breathing was hot and every flick of his tongue on mine keeps me from wanting more. I could no longer hold my sanity. I was so lost at his passionate kisses that the next thing I knew, I was already straddling on him, my arms around his nape as our kiss went deeper."Eve..." he mumbled so huskily as his lips traced my jaw down to my throat. I closed my eyes at the sensations. His lips was warm yet wetting my skin at the same time."You are such a very beautiful temptation. I badly want to devour you but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able t

My lips was apart but I couldn't say anything. It wasn't because I found it creepy, but it's because I'm embarrassed thinking about how bad things he had seen. I'm really not the type of sleeper who is very elegant when sleeping, you know. I often move around my bed and sometimes, I even fall on the floor. And there are also times that I sleeptalk which is really embarrassing for him to witness."I never touched you, though," he added when he noticed my silence.I shook my head, my eyes looking down at the pillow in my lap. I couldn't dare look at him."That's not it, Carter. What have you seen while I'm sleeping? Tell me honestly. Were there nights that you were around and I fell on my bed? I sleeptalk? I keep on rolling like I'm dancing on the bed?"There was silence.I was curious as to why he wasn't saying anything so I had no choice but to look at him. The corners of his lips were up and I could sense that he

"They were not convicted maybe because they were innocent. Don't judge people without knowing them deeply, Jax. Carter is a good person and so as his family. You are the wrong between us because I'm sure I am not dating the wrong guy." "Damn, Eve. I know you are such a risk-taker, all right. But will you please listen to me even just for this once?" "I will only listen you to if you are reasonable enough, Jax. But how can I believe you if you do not have proofs on hand for all your baseless accusations? You are the one that should stop this, Jax. I will not buy anything that you say about Carter. He and his family doesn't deserve all the bad things you used to describe them." I don't like anyone even my friend talking bad about Carter. I understand that he looks really dangerous and snob but it doesn't mean that they will just judge him just like that. "If you have nothing good to say, then I need to go. I still have classes," I said firmly and was ab

Mom and Felix was still not home and so as Tessa, so I have no choice but to make my own breakfast. Carter went with me to the kitchen. I just got a bowl and a box of cereals and had some milk."That is only your breakfast? I don't eat human food but I had lived long enough to know some things about your kind. Don't you think that is just too light for a meal?" Carter expressed his opinion about my bowl of cereal."What is wrong with my breakfast? This is light but nutritious. I don't like heavy breakfast at all. I'm used to this so this would do. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with this."I sat on the high chair in front of the counter top. Carter just stood beside me.I suddenly remembered something."By the way, Irish will go out with Peter this night to watch movie outside Lynnwood. She invited us. It is not a bad idea.""If you want to go, then I will go with you," he said right away as

"Don't tell me you have a chopper at your house's backyard?" I asked while grinning."We don't, but I can buy one. I also knows how to fly one, even a plane," he said plainly, without a hint of arrogance but any human man who would hear it would surely be hit by insecurity."Is there even something that you can't do?" I think it is also a perk of being alive for centuries. You can try out everything without worrying about time."Actually, there is."My eyes narrowed. "What?" Because for me, it seems like there is nothing he can't do. Every time I look at him, he always give me the impression of someone who is capable of doing anything that he would want. He has the air that screams power and authority as though he is invincible. That is why to hear him say himself that there is something that he is not capable of doing, it sounds very new and I can't help but be somehow astonished."I can't stop loving you."The wind blew my hair.

The whole time I was aware that I was falling, my eyes were close and there was still that fear that I might hit something down there. Though, the fear slowly faded when I felt how warm and hard the arms wrapped around my body were.Carter's not gonna do something that would hurt me. I hold onto that belief.And when I finally felt the cold water against my skin, I didn't hit onto anything. It was just the cold water, me holding my breath, and the ironclad body against me. I was about to move to swim up, but I froze when in the midst of coldness, I felt warm, soft lips that touched mine, easing the coldness and my fears away.I almost forgot that I couldn't breathe underwater, but with Carter giving me enough air as he kissed me, I had completely forgotten where we are and how cold the water was.I was to carried away that I didn't notice Carter was already swimming our way upward with his ironclad arm around me.

"Hi, Eve! It's good that you have accepted my invitation. Hello, Carter," Irish said enthusiastically with Peter beside her. We just met outside Lynnwood, in the establishment where we agreed to watch the new movie she was talking about."Hi, Eve and uh... Carter," Peter greeted me with a smile but when he mentioned Carter's name and his eyes drifted to him, his smile became uneasy. He looked suddenly nervous.I can't blame him. Carter is such effortlessly intimidating. You know, every time you look at him, the first thing you would notice is his intimidating air that is screaming with authority and dominance like no other. I know because I once experience to be initimidated with him so bad.Actually, Carter still do intimidate me sometimes, but I am much more comfortable with him now that we already have a relationship and we have the chance to know each other deep each day. I only feel awkward around him seldomly, when we talk about s

Eve’s POVTears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Landon, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Carter is getting married?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea Da Vinci is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Carter’s heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 130: Happy Ending
One would really doubt if he would know my history and how I ended up lying on the sacrificial table voluntarily as an offering for whatever ritual this is. The night after I came to see Alec is the month's full moon—the day of the ritual. Alec must be so happy that I am finally making his dream come true. I could see it in his eyes. Though, I could also see that he felt not the least bit of remorse for what is about to happen. All I could see in his eyes is pure excitement, joy and nothing else. He will never regret this for sure. He has no conscience.On the other hand, I know how Elizabeth would feel if she would wake up in another person's body who looks exactly like her and know that for her to come back, she needed to kick out the poor girl's soul out of her own body so she can replace it. She would feel real bad for sure. She would despise Alec more than what she did before. She would also despise herself for being the cause of it al
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 129: Rot in Hell
Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec bloc
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 128: Play Her Game
“I’m so sorry, Landon,” I whispered in the wind softly, silently wishing that it will bring those words to where it is ought to be. I shut my eyes closed and reminisced about my good memories with him because I don’t know if I will have another chance later on. Not that I am announcing my death. I just want to be open for possibilities. After all, to be ready for the worst is something good. It is better actually.When I was finally out of the cab, I sucked on my breath when I saw what was waiting for me. it was like an ancient castle. Somewhat like those abandoned castles of the villains in fairytales. Only that this time I am not in fairytale. And I am certainly not a princess who would be saved by her prince charming and have a happy ending later on. I had already tasted my happy ending. It wasn’t meant to last, though. I already accepted that. My life sucks. And I’m going to make it worse. Or maybe better s
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 127: Dangerous Decision
Back when I was young, my dream was simple. Stay out of troubles, earn a medical degree, make a good career, marry later on to my boyfriend at that time and have kids, maybe two or three. I envy those big families so I wanted to make my own. Maybe because I grew up in a broken family and I felt lonely. When Dad remarried to a woman who has a daughter same age as me, I thought I would finally have someone I can call as sister. I wanted a sibling. I wanted a normal happy family. But turns out that I would be kicked out in my own house because of her. Not that I was literally kicked out though since I left myself. But it is still the same for me because I knew I had no choice but to leave. It was getting worse every day and I don’t want Dad to worry about my issues. I went to Lynnwood, hoping I would calm down there and I also hoped that my stay in a new surrounding would bring good to me.However, looking back now, I can say that it brought m
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 126: Please Survive
"Can I talk to you?" I was surprised when Carter went to me that afternoon after we had a short meeting about the plans for tomorrow.Landon looked our way. I smiled a little to him, my way of silently telling him that it's okay. I brought my gaze back to Carter and I nodded.We walked to the backyard of the house. There was silence between us and it felt so odd. I could remember vividly what all that happened to us, and now it only felt like a far away dream. Something I can never touch again. A place I can think about but will never reach again. Even so, I didn't regret ending what was between us. He might be my first true love, but Landon is my great love. I hope that is enough to differentiate the two."I just want to say sorry about the last time we talked. It didn't end good," he was the one who broke his silence."It's alright. I know you were hurt. In fact, I should be the one apologizing, not you."He gave me a sad smile. "I'm glad that yo
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 125: Don't Say That Again
One day is left and I can say that the two days had passed were the hardest two days of my life. Not because of the hard training I received from Henry, Jaxon and Thomas, but because it seemed that there was still tension between the three sides. And it is worth mentioning that Landon almost broke Jaxon's jaw. They have been an ass to each other no matter how Landon tries to behave. Carter is on his best behavior, though, no one can contest that. But I noticed his bold glares at Landon sometimes whenever their opinions oppose each other. I appreciate how he is trying to behave even though it's obvious that he has been trying to be patient with Landon this whole time."Ah. I hate the other men in your life. I fucking hate their guts," Landon whispered to me one time. I just laughed and pulled him to a hidden corner to give him a short kiss."Thank you for being patient for me. I appreciate it," I said while my hands were on his nape.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 124: Training for the War
“Henry? Why Henry when you can train me yourself?” I asked Landon because I really want him to train me himself. I know he is skilled enough to do that. He is powerful and very strong so I don’t understand now why he wants Henry to train me in heavier training when he already trained me in some basics before. I mean what is wrong with that? I am sure he is capable enough to teach me everything I need to learn. Not that it can guarantee that I will learn everything within three days because that is really impossible and I know that, but let's just say I am more comfortable around him than anyone else. Not that Henry makes me uncomfortable. He is a great man and a very loyal one, of course. But can’t I have my husband train me so we can have more time together? I mean who knows what will happen three days from now? No one knows what will happen—well, except those vampire/s who have the ability of precognition—but except the
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 123: Not Anymore
I still couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe it that all this time the Lucian I was reading about in Elizabeth’s diary was the one who took care of Landon ever since he was a child, the man Elizbeth loved first and Alec killed him because of jealousy. I can’t help but feel a little guilty even though it wasn’t really something I did. I don’t know. It must be because no matter what I say, Elizabeth is still my great grandmother, someone tied to my bloodline, and most importantly, someone who looked exactly like me.“You shouldn’t feel guilty about it, Eve. you have nothing to do with it so you shouldn’t feel the least bit guilty. Even I don’t blame Elizabeth for anything. It just happened that destiny chose to play with her. She found love with a human but ended up meeting her mate and she was powerless when it came to vampire bond. Trust me, a lot are slaves to that bond, and I’
