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
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
“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
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.
"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
Now I think I get how Landon was able to solve the problem. Of course he is very influential. Having a mall exclusively opened for him is not hard. I don’t even think he had to use supernatural abilities to do this, his money is probably enough. I knew the Rellis were rich, but I guess Landon is ‘filthy’ rich and he doesn’t mind to show it. “Go pick everything you want,” Landon said. “Is this mall yours, perhaps?” I didn’t sound so serious that was why when he answered, I was surprised. “It is.” “Wait. Are you serious?” His brow raised. “Do I look like I’m joking?” I cleared my throat and stepped back a bit. “I’ll go look around.” I walked away from him to go inside the boutiques and I thought he would just stay right where he was when I noticed him stalking me. I stopped to look at him. He asked, “What?” “I thought you would just wait for me to finish picking some stuffs.” “I figured I better help you decide fo
My brows furrowed when I heard that name. I looked at the habit from which the calling came. But someone else met my sight. It's that woman I saw in that article. Beatrice Gunningworth. The asshole's fiancée.I looked at her intently. She's not just beautiful in the photo. She's really beautiful in person. Her moves are very feminine and classy. Her skin is not fair, but tanned. The body is also tall and has a beautiful curve. And by the way she carries herself, she's truly a fashion icon.My brow shot up at the sight. This time Carter's choice looks good. Far from those low class type of women he had back then. He also has a good family background so he really decided to marry her. Damn that liar. He fooled me with such sweet words, but here I am, looking at his soon to be wife. He is a cheater!My grip on the champagne flute tightened. Why do I even need to see his woman here? Even her mother is also here to almost
Lea’s POV I kept my eyes closed until my breathing gradually subsided. I was lying on the bed, without any covering under the blanket. Carter is lying beside me while planting feathery kisses on my shoulder. I turned my back on his chest so I could feel his warm body pressing against my back. I stayed still, tired of what we just did. "What do you want to eat, hmm?" he whispered huskily. His hug tightened on me. I sighed and opened my eyes. "Anything." He held my hand and lifted it up towards his lips. He sealed it with a little kiss. "Just don't go with Emery. I know you're tired. Let's just cuddle here." "But I've already said yes to her. That is rude you know." "I'll just tell her that you're tired." He intertwined our fingers and buried his face on my neck. “She would understand for sure.” I really want to be with him. But with my body's state, I'd rather sleep. So I just agreed
"What did he do?" he asked coldly as he caressed my back. I shook and continued to cry."Tell me, Lea. Did he hurt you? What did that demon do to you? I'll gladly kill him for you.""N-No... No, Rios. Take me away from here, please. Bring me somewhere... away from here... Please ... I beg you."He sighs and supports me. He led me out of this place full of pain. I walked without looking back. I was afraid to look back, I would see him and couldn’t help but run back. He's my weakness, the weakness that will drag me down."What happened? Your phone is out of coverage. I was very worried. So I immediately went here to look for you. But I found you in El Fuego. Crying and wrecked just like what you looked like years ago."When we arrived at the hotel he's staying in Manila, he immediately interrogated me. I washed my own palms while sitting on the couch."My cellphone was damaged becaus
