"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. Not heavy but not very light, just enough to emphasize my facial features. I didn
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 his love
Landon's hand was then wrapped around my waist when we entered the huge luxury yatch. I had been in different parties back when I was a human, so basically this is not new to me anymore.I was totally relieved when I saw that like Landon said, everyone in the party is vampire. Of course I trust Landon would never risk our plans in letting me go wild in an elite party, but I guess my instinct just don't trust fully and that I still should confirm it with my own two eyes.A man and a woman went to us at once. Based on how the man held the woman's waist and how intimate they were, I think they are most probably a couple. The woman was wearing a crimson red glittery dress with a big ribbon in the left shoulder. The man on the other hand is wearing a dark blue tuxedo and a bow tie. In human age, I guess they are around early thirties or something near that."I'm so glad that you came, Landon," the man said and the way he smiled at Landon gave me an idea that they had long knew each other.
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 'falling' type. I even doubt if he had a history of
"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 provoke him.I really have no idea how many enemies do Landon has, b
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 blocking my way, I would have surely done it, given of course with the he
Lea’s POVI 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 with Carter's wishes. I'm sore and weak. I’m not in the right disposition to do anything else. I just w
“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,” Mom went on.“When did you tell him? It’s just early in t
