95: He Wanted to Save Me
Last Updated:
2022-03-29 15:56:23"Your mate? Do you even hear yourself, Rellis? Let me remind you that you dumped her because you told her you have found your real mate. She almost died in the hands of Vienna and her whole family was murdered. Where are you during all those times? You were not there for her. I was. So don't you fucking claim my wife as your mate," Landon snapped.
I could not say anything out of anger. How dare he claim me as his fucking mate when he told me straight to my face that he was only mistaken and had found his real mate? He left me at a time I needed him the most! So who give him the right to say that? He doesn't deserve that right! He will never deserve it!
"Your mate? Did I hear you right, Carter? You are claiming her as your mate?" Alec butt in, his eyes narrowing to Carter, and there was obvious darkness playing in his crimson orbs.
"Yes, Alec, she is my mate–"
Landon growled. "No one is your mate here, asshol

"Why are you saying this to me now?” I asked with confusion because I can’t seem to understand why he had to go to such extent just to prevent me from meeting Alec. If a person who has the ability to foresee the events in the future saw that time will come when me and Alec will meet, wasn’t it already a sign that it will happen no matter what measures we will take just to avoid it? It was already foreseen, meaning, fate has already decided and it could happen in different circumstances.“Because there is no point hiding the truth now that what I was scared of already happened.”“And you are out of the picture now. You can’t change the fact that Eve has a new life. So even if you had presented yourself as her mate and wants to take the responsibility to keep her, do you think you still have the right to do that? You don’t, so better back off and let me do the job since I’m his husban

Is this the ability of Alec? He can manipulate ice? But then, what if it is not the only ability Alec has? What if he is way more powerful and stronger than I imagined?And with Landon’s anger, I don’t think he would even think of backing down. That is way far from his personality. He is the type who would face everything head on no matter how much it would cost him. Not that I’m saying he is stupid, but I guess he is just really a man of pride who would always do anything with pride despite the situation.I trust Landon for I know that he is very skilled and resourceful when it comes to these things, but I just can’t help to have doubts this time because it is the first time that I have seen him so furious. And you know, when you are so mad, your mind would get clouded by your anger and you would not be able to think straight, which could result to miscalculated actions. And right now, the least thing I want to

If I was still a human, for sure my heart stopped beating at that moment. I don’t know if I should trust Carter’s words after he lied and after all the pain he has inflicted to me, but that look in his sea-green eyes… it was like he is showing all the truth, his everything. The gentle look in his eyes made me feel that I can trust him again, that when it comes to me, all he is concerned of is my safety.I don’t want to believe it so much because I don’t want to cling on false hopes, but can’t I hope that it is true? Ever since I turned to a vampire and knew my parents were dead as well as Jaxon, I kept on wishing so bad, I prayed so hard to have the power to turn back time. Or at least make this reality a dream and that I would just wake up with my family all well and me back to my normal life as an ordinary teenage girl studying in the nearest town college. I want to have that life so bad even if it means I w

“Who are you threatening?” Carter fired back, the confidence and pride were obvious on his voice.Landon smirked. I am not threatening anyone. I am merely stating what I am capable of.”“If that is the case, let me tell you this, Arthurs. You don’t know what I am capable of so don’t you fucking start with me.”“You don’t threaten an Arthurs, Rellis.”“The hell I care with your surname. I don’t fucking care who in the world you are or what bloodline you came from. I am just taking what you took from me in the first place and this time I will not let you touch my mate again.” The tone of Carter’s voice was so lethal, it almost left me shivering. Though, I don’t know why I suddenly can’t place the weird feelings I had for Landon recently. It felt like it just faded all of a sudden as if I had never felt like that. I wonder

I don't know why it feels weird. I felt a little bad for turning my back on Carter and leaving, but I also feel a little pleasabt for walking back to Landon. So complex, isn't it? I don't even know how feeling two different emotions at the same time is possible.I know Carter doesn't want me to go to Landon because he's afraid I would end yo getting hurt, alright. But he doesn't know what I feel. I trust my instincts and it's saying that I can trust that Landon won't hurt me. And also, I didn't feel right leaving him like that. He is all alone while Carter has his family so I don't think it would be a big deal if I leave Carter for the moment so I can talk with Landon. I really need to have a lot sorting out to do, especially about this feelings I have for Carter and Landon.The moment I was close to Landon, I heard a sound of nearing chopper. I thought it was the one Carter's family used, but it wasn't.The chopper landed near us. Henry went out from it.

"I wanted to talk with you, so I didn't."His eyes narrowed a bit. "But let's say you didn't have unanswered questions. Would you still choose… to go with me?"My heart hurt a little with his dark yet gentle tone. He felt hesistant and careful. Maybe he didn't want to offend me. Or maybe he was afraid to hear my answer."Tell me." I looked down at his hand on my waist. My lashes flicked up when I met his gaze again. "What do you really want to know?"Earlier I though we would be shouting at each other once we are alone, but I was surprised at how gentle our talk is going so far.His eyes turned darker. It's getting dark now, but his eyes were way more darker than any darkness I've seen. I'm starting to love it, though. So I don't mind being stared by those dark mesmerizing orbs.Back then, I was so in love with Carter's sea-green eyes for it was one of the rarest eye color, and also be

Is it really possible? To love two people at the same time?It's not normal, right? It shouldn't be like that. But then, if I have to choose between the two of them… at this point, I don't think I'm sure of what's the answer yet. I don't want to hurt anybody, especially Carter and Landon. But could I really avoid that if at the end of the day, I'd still have to choose one of them and drop the other?"So what is the answer, Eve. Do you still love him?" Landon went back to his question, cutting my thoughts about him being mateless.For some reason, I hoped that he had one and also felt happy that he hadn't. It's confusing, I see. But I hoped that he had one because if he had a mate, it would be easier for him to drop me, and I wouldn't have other choice but to go with Carter. Everything will be back to where it should belong. It won't be as complicated as this. But the dark side of me also felt happy that he didn't have

His hand was around my back while the other was caressing my hair. I heard his sweet rough chuckle that could make my dead heart leap."My lovely emotional wife. I hope you are not thirsty enough to bit me."He even managed to make a joke. For all I know, he just want to make this light so that I'd forget about my guilt.I just went off him when I heard someone cleared his throat. I was a bit embarrassed when I saw Henry not too far, his eyes were on his shoes."The drinks are already sent to your chamber, My Lord, My Lady.""Alright. We will be right there. Thank you, Henry," I said in a low voice and walked first, leaving Landon behind.I shook my head while suppressing a smile when I heard Landon's hearty laugh at my back.~*~*~"Get change," Landon told me after we both had a chalice of blood. The thirst has now subsided and I felt a lot better than I was.

Deceiving the Mafia Lord Epilogue
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’
