11: Nothing to Protect
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I am Lily, Miss Eve. I will assist you in dressing up and in doing your hair," the woman in uniform who went in my room.
She was tall, a little taller than me, blonde, white and beautiful. There's no doubt that she is a vampire.
"Thank you."
It is the day of the wedding. I look into the mirror with me wearing the grand wedding gown I had chosen. Not that I want something grand to wear in marrying someone I don't love, but the thing is, all of those dresses that Landon prepared for me were all grand—not just grand, but very grand. But even if I don't want any of those, I have no choice but to pick one, so we can go on with the wedding part and get done with it.
The one I had chosen is perfectly fit to my body. It is very intricate and has crystals all over the bodice. My hair was done in updo with few tendrils intentionally left in front for the classic style. My make up was done smoothly and perfectly

The cermony started shortly and I tried to look any other bride as much as possible. Though if the audience have very observant eyes, I think they would notice that I am a little weird or that Landon and I are a little indifferent to each other. But well, I think there is just a small percentage that they would think something is wrong with Landon because he is kind of a good actor. He even kissed my hand when he reached out for me as we both faced the vampire who would wed us.I didn't feel anything when Landon did that for the sake of our pretend relationship. It's just, I got irritated on myself for imagining someone else's face. I really hope that I would soon forget all the worthless emotions and remnants of the past. Who knows Carter is also in somewhere, having his happy ever after with his new found mate? To be honest, I hate how Carter made me believe and feel that I was the woman destined for him, that we are destined for each other. I hate how he made me feel that
The Demoness Alpha 13: Celebration Chaos
They say, it is hard to push someone you love away, but I was able to do it with Carter. Yes, I do still love him after everything that happened, only that it is not as potent as before. My anger, pain and the urge to avenge my loved ones are more stronger.I looked at Carter with nothing but empty, cold eyes. His image was the idea of comfort for me back then. Whenever he is near, I always feel safe and good, that nothing bad will happen to me because he is there always, ready to do everything just to protect me. He was that person to me—that person who I can't leave without. But everything change in an instant. When he left me to get ruined by his own kind. I do not think I will ever forget how I loved him, I will never forget all those memories because it was embedded in my soul, and that with my vampire mind, my memory is a lot sharper that I can remember all the details of the past. But even though I will not forget about it in my mind, it doesn't mean it will fore
The Demoness Alpha 14: Familiar Man
"Humans' yatch party?" I asked. Well, in my imagination, vampires don't hold social gatherings like that, so the first thing that got in my mind is that we are going to humans' yatch party. But wait, why would an elite vampire like Landon would bother spending time to a party held by humans? That does not sound right."Humans? What business I would do with mortals? Since you would be my partner as of the moment, you should remember that I do not do anything without a valid reason. And you know what is valid for me? If the reason is purely business."Right. That matches his attitude and appearance."So you mean we are going to a vampire party?""Indeed.""What are we going to do there?" I don't have any idea yet what are Landon's plans but of course his every action relative to it concerns me, so it is just right to ask for a little details, right? After all, we are partners in our plans. We are involved
The Demoness Alpha 15: Forgetting
It was Carter.Our gaze met and I felt like my world stopped for a moment. It was very quick though. Just very quick that I felt like it never came to me, like it was just a very quick moment of time that was not a vital part of my life. He was wearing a black suit, his face serious and his eyes were dark as he held my gaze. The way he looked at me made me think that he had so much to say to me, that he wanted to do so much. His lips was pursed tight and his jaw was tight as if there was something pissing him off real bad.For a moment, questions swirled down my mind and I felt like I wanted to throw him questions I had never planned of asking him ever since I turned a vampire. Questions that I wanted to ask but I will never ask because what is it for? With the path I had chosen, with the life I have now, would all of those even matter? No. It will not matter because whatever he will say or do, I am very sure that it will not lessen the pain that I had felt when I was
The Demoness Alpha 16: Pacified
Insanity.If there is one word that could describe that night, it would be that word. I could not believe that I had actually brought myself to do that with Landon. I gave in. I gave my virtue to him and I could not believe that I really did that. Even when I was with Carter, we never came to that point. Or maybe Carter had just amazing self-control to step over his limits. And it was different with him before because I was a human and he needed to be careful.But then, it was also different with Landon, a lot different because in the first place, I had no feelings for him. I did not love him the way how I loved Carter before. So what the hell pushed me to throw all my inhibitions away and go with the flow. It is very obvious that Landon just wants to play. Of course what else could be the reason why he did that? It is impossible that he developed some kind of feelings for me in those couple of weeks. And Landon is certainly not the 'f
The Demoness Alpha 17: Dress
To feel that kind of potent need was strange and dangerous. The moment I smelled the luscious scent of the man's blood, I was so certain that there was no stopping for me. That it was either he would die or I would. The latter sounds impossible, though. So I knew that the first was more likely to happen.But for some reason, I don't know how Landon managed to stopped me. I don't know how he managed to calm me at a point where I thought I had lost my ability to be rational. He was able to put out the fire that he knew would cause the biggest regret of my life. And more than thankful that he did. Because I don't know what I could have done to myself later on if ever I had killed that man.The door opened and it was followed by Landon's baritone voice. "Had you completely calmed yet?"During the incident in the hallway earlier, after I came back to my senses, I ran to the other side where the man was standing and went to
The Demoness Alpha 18: Maximilian
"I have an urgent news, My Lord." Henry just suddenly appeared from the shadows when Landon and I were walking at his manor's hallway. We are about to leave for the ball."Is this matter very urgent?" Landon asked, his hand did not leave my waist."I suppose.""Speak.""Sebastian is gone."Landon's eyes went focused and darker. "What do you mean he is gone?""He is dead, My Lord."I have once met this man named Sebastian. He is also one of the few trusted subordinates of Landon that is why to hear about his sudden death did not sound good. In fact, I wonder. Vampires don't die in natural deaths, most especially not in accidents. So there must be one reason why he died—he was killed."Who killed him?" Landon's tone sound so silent and lethal, I felt like he is ready to burn the culprit alive for killing his subordinate. Of course Landon is not dumb. By now he surely have an idea why Sebastian was killed. It must be to prov
The Demoness Alpha 19: Backstory
"What is this?" I asked Landon when he brought me to an old manor somewhere in north Manchester.Right after he had killed Maximilian, he killed his two wives and Maximilian's people were killed by Henry and Landon's other men. We left the place shortly. Then the day after, Landon brought me in this place with me having no idea what business are we going to do in this place."Your ancestor's manor. This is owned by Elena Ross, the mother of Elizabeth," Landon replied."Elena Ross? The name doesn't ring a bell. As far as I know, Grandma Elizabeth's mother named Celestine, not Elena.""Celestine…" He nodded. "Must be the name she used when she started a new life with her husband.""You mean she changed her name? But what for?" If it was Landon the one who said it, I'm sure it is not a fallacy or something. I don't know why it come to him, I trust easily. Why would he lie about this matter anyway?

I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me off the bed. Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape aggressively as he gave me an alluvion of intoxicating kisses. A strange heat flared up in my body. His hand skillfully found the zipper of my dress and maneuvered it, while his hot kisses were traveling down to my jaw. I flinched at the caress of his hand on my back. My body was shaking and it feels like I couldn't hold on to my precious sanity any longer. My inhibitions and rationality were all thrown out of the window, leaving my mind empty. With my kind of lifestyle, I could have easily gave in to my past boyfriends who asked me for it. I’m not ready yet, that’s what I always say. But the truth is, I was searching for the man who could make me feel like this. I can’t give that to past boyfriends because I c

Holding my books, my props rather, I went in, and the chatterings were silenced.It wasn't long though, when I heard soft murmurs."Grace? So she's the one who will help Mrs. Rellis present the topic? Pero first year lang siya. Don't you think that's a bit off?" the girl on the third row whispered to her seatmate."Ah. It's a good thing I didn't continue to be absent. I wouldn't miss this," the man in the back said. His group looked at me as if I'd be pleased with their smug smiles."Yeah, bro. Grace's beautiful. I really don't know why so many are afraid of her. I mean, why would they be scared of an angel's face?"I could feel my lips almost twitching. Angel? I wonder if I'd let them see my fangs, would they still think the same?"Pabida. Isn't this an insult to us? We're in our third year and then we will be taught a first year without even taking a course?"Jealousy. One of the emotions very common among humans. Nothing new.

My eyebrows rose."In that case, why are you still here?"His lips parted a bit and gave me a critical look. He didn't speak immediately as if he knew I would be offended by what he was going to say."Tita suddenly ordered something so Cesar left on my motorbike. I will take you home.""What ?!""Yes, Chanelle."Lintik!"What is Mommy's order and all of a sudden ?!""I don't know. Cesar never said that."I sighed and rolled my eyes. Push me into the back seat. Why is it that he was not the only one ordered instead of my driver.Mommy and Daddy took a long time to get home that night. It's often like that. So every time like that, often, I deliver dinner to teresa or say to eat later. I don't even want to keep up with Euan.I rehearsed the lines of my audition piece before going to sleep. With my effort, I'm sure there's a good chance I'll get it. So the next day, I was really positive."Good luck, Ch

Of course! Why would I prioritize anything else if I knew my family was falling apart? I would have booked the earliest flight the moment I heard the news."Of course, I also don't want to ruin a special event in your life. Especially since you announced you had a big endorsement offer in the States."I sighed. Coming back to Philippines was supposed to be just a short vacation. And even before going home, I decided to accept the offer. While I was studying my film degree, I also accepted some modeling jobs and catwalks.At first, I only accepted the offer because I was bored and wanted to try. Eventually, I realized it's fun and I was actually good at it. So I started accepting offers one after another. My parents didn't have problem with it.Mommy even offered to help me land in good offers, since she was also a model before, and many acquaintances. But I declined because it seemed unfair to others who eeffort to go to go-sees. I don't want to be chosen

I was a little terrified when we looked at each other. I immediately turned to Mommy."Mom, he looks unpleasant. He's too thin, pale and has very dark eyes. He looks like the nerd and malnourished version of Dracula–""Chane!"I stopped and bit my lower lip."He's a very kind boy. He's poor and has no relatives. He has nowhere to go. Can't we help him a bit?""Then, bring him to the orphanage?"Mommy greeted me."We're not planning to adopt him, okay? We'll just help him a bit. You'll remain our only baby, Chanelle," she assured me and kissed my forehead.I pouted. I looked at the boy again and when I saw that he was also looking at me, I hid a little from Mommy. I'll remind Daddy later to double the locks on my door. Maybe later it's Dracula's slave and he's planning to suck my blood at night.With another person living in our house, it was really hard to adjust at first. I got used to just the three of us Mommy s

"What ?! You're just suddenly popping up there! What are you? Ghost?"His brow raised."How about you? Why are you standing there in the middle? You're even modeling in the car park?"This idiot!"What do you care? Mind your own business!" once turn away from him and walk away.Though, it's not long when I heard his voice again. He followed me."Where are you going, Chanelle? You've already passed your car."I closed my eyes tightly, not looking back at him."I know! I won't use that car. Froilan already has the key so how can I use it?""And what car are you in?""Cinderella's carraige?" my sarcastic answer."Very funny, Chane.""Oh, I'm glad I humored you!"A tug on the wrist stopped me. In shock I even released the clutch. I glared at Euan. If I could just blow out the fire, he would have been cooked for a long time."You're being dragged! You've been here before, ah? What the hell i

"Chane Estrella?"I smiled at the acquaintances. They were shocked that I came."Chane! You're back! When else?""Just hours ago," I replied and looked around. It's just that I couldn't find Daddy because there were other acquaintances to greet him."Hello, hija! Are you here to accompany your Daddy?"I smiled at the old woman. Family friend so I let go."Yes. Actually, my Mommy should be with her now. But something urgent came, so I'm here on her stead.""Oh! But I thought ..." she trailed off and laughed a bit.The malicious glint in her eyes told me what she's thinking. I plastic smiled and passed him. Supposedly friendly, but really just want to gossip.The whispers of the envy did not escape me, the ones who can never reach my level, so the envy just goes through the motions. I continue walking without looking at them, unbothered by whatever they're talking about behind my back.An actor greeted me. I would h

"She offered me and my father's campaign team to stay here for the campaign. She promised a comfortable place and good accommodation. Is that what you're saying?""She didn't promise anything else?" His lips stretched in doubt. The look is stinging."What else would she promise?""Like marrying me?"There was a ghost of smile on his lips."She brought you here. She won't do that just to help. It's obvious that she's pairing us."I grinned and shook, laughing. I never thought he could humor me that way.Her eyes narrowed as if wondering why I was reacting that way."Why? You're afraid to be tied up?" I taunted."So you know Mama has such a plan? You want to marry me?"This brute! Very arrogant too really. Is he thinking that every woman in the world is dying to marry him? Ridiculous."Don't worry. I'm sure your Mama has no plans to marry us. And I don't want to marry you as well."Her smile faded. For

The first courses and drinks were served. I was expecting that we'll talk about family issues that night, but since Tita Glesilda was there, if not the business then the campaign is in question."Actually, Leandra wants him to lead the campaign there in Antique this summer.""Really?" Tita Glesilda looked at me."Yes, Glesilda. She's that passionate to help her father's campaign," Mama said proudly."That's good! If so, where will she stay in Antique during that time?""We have a mansion in San Ardiente. She can stay there with the campaign staffs.""But who will take care of them there? Do you have househelps there?""Ah. Right! We haven't been there since Mama died so only the caretaker was left. But ... I think we could just send househelps ...""Oh, that's too hassle, Ramona! How about this ... I'll house them in our mansion in Vida Riqueza?"Lucius and I looked at each other. He raised an brow and smirk."Are
