15: Forgetting
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It 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

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?
The Demoness Alpha 20: Disciple
Helion singlehandedly wiped out the whole Westville pack? That’s unbelievable. How did he become so strong and powerful? Oh right, I remember. He took the Necklace of Divinity that was supposed to be mine. He coveted my position in the pack because he has ulterior motives all along. He wanted to take me down and replace me because he was thirsty for power.That fucking traitor. He really deserves to die in my hand. I will kill him at all cost. No matter what happen, I will kill him. I definitely will. His life is the price of his betrayal, and I will not let get away with it.I finished my drink and immediately left. I took the secret route to my pack’s base. It’s at the back of the mountains, then to the tomb of our pack’s deceased members, and then to the back entrance of the base. It is the easiest way in. I don’t think I would make it in without successfully alerting anyone, though. But since I am wise, of course I have plans for that.
The Demoness Alpha 21: Hopes in Lies
Helion looked at me darkly. He showed no emotion so I was wondering what he was thinking. I realized he really changed a lot. It’s obvious in the way he looks, in the way he moves. He has good looks back then, I admit, but now… well, I guess maturity can do a lot of things to a person.“Go back,” he demanded coldly. “I don’t accept disciples.”No way. you should accept me!I looked at him with challenging eyes. There’s no way I will let him win this game. I will insist until he accepts me. I can’t just go back, can I? This is my place after all. The place I built on my own, so how the hell did he have the right to make me leave like he didn’t owe his life from me?I wanted to blurt all those things to him but I know I should calm myself because if I won’t, I’d just ruin the pretense and it won’t do good to me. I should be patient as of the moment so that when time comes that I
The Demoness Alpha 22: The Plan: Make Him Fall
So the plan is… gain Helion’s trust while I’m regaining my power and plot things behind his back so that when time comes that I will be the alpha again, everything will go smoothly as I planned. I will also take the opportunity to know all his secrets, his weaknesses so that I would have something to use against him. I will also try to have people while I’m pretending as an innocent disciple. And one more thing… Should I flirt with him and make him fall in love with me so that it’s easier to stay by his side? Think of it. if I can easily make it by his side, and stay for a long time without him doubting me, making that move is the key right? Right. I guess that way is easier. Because as I can observe right now, Helion is very cold and aloof to the people, especially to me. He’s even so indifferent to that female subordinate of his when it’s pretty obvious that she has feelings for him. That’s why if I can make it to his heart, he would trust me and it’s easie
The Demoness Alpha 23: Burning Darkness
After years, I finally picked a dress to wear at Jacob’s birthday celebration. Even though I was never feminine nor the every man’s ideal woman, I know that as Nadia, I have a face of a beauty. Everyone knows that, but no man dared to hit me because of one fact: I am the most powerful living woman across all packs. They are too scared to try. I’m glad no one did though. Not because I’m not a fan of love, but that time up to this moment, I have more important things to deal with than finding myself a suitable man. besides… I don’t want to make a mistake again when it comes to trusting people.I glared at the female commandant when I saw her outside my chamber. She glared back at me and was obviously about to say something but I walked past her and went straight to Helion’s chamber. The hell I care with that woman. She is one of those people that I should ignore. Poor worthless beings.“Alpha?” I sat on the waiting a

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
