74: Invitation
"It is fine if you stay here for the meantime like originally planned. I understand that you missed George. You should spend time with him even just for a couple of days," he said that added to my doubts.
He doesn't do that. He doesn't leave me behind alone. Plus the fact that he didn't even ask me if I am willing to stay behind or if I want to go with him. It was like he just wanted me to be away with him or something. And the thoughts stirring my mind made me really anxious. I have a bad feeling about this.
"No, I will go back to Lynnwood with you," I said with finality. I would just end up thinking about what he is hid"I just think that I need to go back to Lynnwood tomorrow morning."
"Didn't we plan to stay here for a few days? Is it an emergency?"
"There is just something our family needs to discuss," he said calmly.
"Is it something connected to your family friend? Is there any problem?"

Deceiving the Mafia Lord 75: Breaking Up
“But where are we going? Is there a particular place you want to go to. I will gladly bring you there.”I really don’t have an idea and I have no particular place in mind. All I just want is to forget about my worries and I know that school is not the place for that, that is why I decided to ask Jaxon to bring me somewhere else.“Do you have something you can suggest?” I returned the question.“In our base?”I thought for a moment. I remembered about the huge and strong-looking werewolves in the woods the last time. It gave me a little shiver because the image of those giant wolves made me feel uneasy for some reason. But I guess I should get used to all the bizarre things in the world considering that my boyfriend is a vampire and my best friend is a werewolf. It is not a very ideal combination but I think I should just live with it.“Would that be okay,
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 76: In So Much Pain
“Yes, Eve. I am breaking up with you. I want to cut our ties and end everything we have here,” he continued. He didn’t falter all the way, he was merciless as though he was only talking to a random stranger and not the person he promised he would never leave.Ever since I started reading books, I have always believed that words are strong enough to change the world. It can even ruin an empire, it can cause endless battles and life-changing decisions. But I never thought that I would be put in such a situation wherein few and simple words were enough to make all my dreams crumble and my whole life collapse right before me. It was the first time and Carter made it possible. It felt as though something in my chest was clenched so hard that I could barely breathe. It was like someone dug a whole in my chest that I felt like something very important part of me was stolen. The pain I was feeling at the moment was beyond words, it was
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 77: Alone in Tears
Why is this happening to me? I thought everything was fine. I thought everything will go smoothly as long as Carter is beside me and that he could never hurt me but what is happening now? Why did my world suddenly turn upside down? How come that the man who promised to love me forever and the man who promised to stay by my side as long as I wish, just turned his back on me all of a sudden?At first, I really believed that he was hiding something from me for my own sake because there was a problem: he doesn't want me to get involved. But after everything he said, after how he acted mercilessly as if he didn't have a heart, I realized that I was wrong all along. I was wrong to believe that he was acting that way for my own safety. He did all of that for one reason, because he already knew that I am not his mate and he has found the real one that is why I am no use for him anymore. He Is dropping me now because he felt nothing to me compared to the person he just met.I b
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 78: Red-Haired Woman
I woke up that afternoon and I decided to do something. I have nothing to lose now so why I am still holding back? I should do what I can do. Not to seek for another chance or to change the situation but I just want to have a proper talk with him for the last time.So I dragged myself to the bathroom, took a bath, dressed and left the house. I walked towards the familiar path that would lead me to the house of the Rellis. I know that it is indeed true that Carter had met his true mate, talking to him will change nothing and I would most likely look pitiful, nevertheless, I know I have to try. I want us to talk again. I want him to say it for the last time and make myself believe that it’s really true, that he is not just doing this to cover something or what.I gasped when I reached the spot where Rellis’ house was situated and saw that the house wasn’t there anymore and not a single trace can be found. I looked around, trying to make sure that I was
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 79: Dead Heart
Though before I could blink, I heard a loud animalistic growl and the sound of ripping. I was pushed by a force and the next thing I knew, I was thrown to the tree yards away. I felt dizzy and my back slightly hurt. Deeply worried, I opened my eyes the moment I recovered and my lips fell open when I saw a huge brown werewolf in front of the vampire human. I did not have to think who it was. There was no doubt that the werewolf in front was Jaxon. Even he had already shifted, I am so sure it was him because of his eyes and the way he stand as if he is the highest of them all. Now I understand why he has that Alpha blood in him.The woman smirked and advanced, moving so fast that I could barely see how she moved in the air. The fact that vampires are incredibly fast in nature made me nervous. I was not worried for myself but for Jaxon and his pack that were not suffering because of me.Jaxon had grown to become my best friend and having him hurt while protecting me was t
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 80: New Life
“Jaxon is outside,” just when Mom said that, I smelled a werewolf’s scent, Jaxon’s scent. Landon glanced at me with a darker expression. Of course he doesn’t like Jaxon. But then they are even because Jaxon feels the same. We just finished cooking pancakes and watching a football game while Mom throws question every now and then. I was a little uneasy about it though because I felt Mom has doubts on Landon, but the way I see it, Landon isn’t the least bit affected and is all polite to her. Well, maybe he’s trying to impress her. I would love that kind of effort given to my mother but as much as I want that, I also don’t want to put too much pressure on Landon’s shoulders. I don’t want him to feel that he has to force himself into doing something just for me. I don’t mind if he would show a little irritation or something, but he didn’t. or maybe he just really doesn’t mind. “I told him that you visited. He told me he is coming,” M
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 81: Mind Your Manners
Jaxon sighed but his look on Landon remained sharp. “Fine. I’m sorry about that, Eve. I was just worried about you. I know something happened. Fuck your excuses. Tell me what really happened to you in that fucking honeymoon.”“Mind your tongue when you are talking to her, you mongrel. I might end up cutting that rude tongue of yours,” Landon warned in a dangerous tone. I know there is no doubt he could do that, but I’m sure he won’t. I’m still worried about them getting into a fight. They are both impatient and ill-tempered, after all. Plus even though I am a vampire now, I don’t think I would be strong enough to be able to stop them if this really would escalate to a fight. Maybe I would just go in between and see if they would stop if I am the one they could hurt?“What happened Eve,” Jaxon demanded, not minding Landon’s words and just giving all his attention to me. I can see that he badly wants to know what really happened.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 82: Let Henry
"Will you please calm down?!" I shouted at them because this whole thing is fucking irritating me. I turned to have an eye contact with Carter. I heard a low hiss. Must be from Landon. He's a jealous ass, I know. And I feel guilty for feeling good that he has that high regards of me. I will just make it up to him later, when we are alone in my room. "Carter, nothing bad happened, alright. I'm okay—" "Nothing bad happened? Really, Eve? You were abducted by a powerful vampire who has plans to kill your soul so that his mate can take your place inside your body, and yet you are saying that nothing happened? That it is alright? You got to be kidding me!" Jaxon groaned painfully as if my words are irritating him to the bones. I was about to correct Jaxon's words so Carter won't be confused but Carter spoke first so I didn't have the chance to. "What exactly happened, Eve?" Carter demanded. I sighed. "It's true. I was abducted by one of Alec's subor
