The Vampire and the Mage 28: Dark demeanor
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 that I couldn't help but burst to tears."You are upset because he's getting married," Landon stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from hi
The Vampire and the Mage 29: Reaching ecstacy
"At this point," Landon spoke. "Eve's safety is the most important. I'm willing to join forces with the two of you. I can't risk her life for my pride. I will use all my cards to keep her.""Landon!" I called in contempt. He just looked at me with defiance in his eyes."We have to accept it. We can't do it alone. I would rather sacrifice my pride than put you in that kind of danger. I promised you, didn't I? I will protect you no matter what.""And I will do the same, Eve. The pack is willing to help," Jaxon said and I could almost feel my temple pounding."My family will fight," Carter added, one of the things I fear the most."Do you even hear yourself, Jax? Carter? They are your family for Pete's sake! And what? You are willing to risk their lives just for me? That's unfair, you know! I don't want to put their lives in that kind of danger just so I could live. I can't be that selfish!""And do you expect us to do nothing? You are also my family, Eve! You should understand that I al
The Vampire and the Mage 30: Changes
My tears flowed before I finally closed my eyes. And all I could hear was Alliyah's demonic laugh before I completely lost my consciousness.I was overwhelmed by the strange noise and uncomfortable position. I was about to touch my aching head when I felt something tightly bound to my arm.I recoiled in shock when I saw four women in front of me, just as I had also tied my legs and arms. But what shocked me more was the unfamiliar place where we are. We were inside a wooden cage running.I peeked between the woods and was even more confused to see a horse pulling into the cage while a man was running the horse. It was like a carriage for prisoners.But what is this place? From what I can see outside, I know this place is far from the city. All I could see around were twigs, tall trees and mountains.I looked at the female companions. They have one thing in common - good faces and Taiwanese features. You two, I think are a few years younger than me. The other two I think are just my ag
The Vampire and the Mage 31: Fears and lies
"How about Ezera and Arcus?"My trembling intensified."They are dead, my lord."It felt like my whole world shut down. It was beyond crippling. It was evil. But before I could react, darkness took over my system and all I could remember is the cold floor where I fell.Slowly, the glittering thing above me became clear. It's a chandelier. I am in my room, in my bed. My sweat was dripping and I didn't know why I was feeling so nervous."Don't worry, she is just fine," it was a familiar voice. Is it our family doctor?I closed my eyes for several seconds. When I opened it again, I froze when I saw my father's worried face, his sea-green eyes reflecting mine. I gulped, suddenly confused as to why I was feeling scared.I was about to ask what happened when I suddenly remembered something. It was as if I were drenched in cold water when everything I heard in the study came back to me. If there is a stronger feeling than being horrified, then that is what I'm feeling."I'll take my exit now
The Vampire and the Mage 31: Holding her ground
I don't know but I smiled sparingly. I have already walked towards the people. Being tied to Lucian isn't as bad as I thought, huh? I even used it at my own advantage."Don't panic, everything's alright," I told the people."W-What's happening, Ma'am?"I looked to my side. It was the lad I helped with his food earlier."There's just a group of uninvited guests. But don't worry, everything is under control. See those men?" I taught Lucian and his staff. "They will take care of it. There's nothing to worry about."Other staffs also talked to those present so everything gradually calmed down.Lucian was just ahead, seriously talking to his staff.The scene was like that until I heard the sound of engines. Seven black vehicles stopped in front of the camp site. Lucian and his men were all alert in front of us. He was holding a gun but his hand was behind his back.Men in black suits with Syria's badge went out from the vehicles. All armed.Lucian was a step ahead of his men, very calm and
The Vampire and the Mage 32: Bitter farewell
I dropped the book in panic and almost jumped. I turned to him. Why does he tend to appear suddenly?Lucian's eyes were far more intense than last night. I had a nightmare after that short interaction. Won't it make me have a nightmare again tonight?Holding the book and photo, I stood up and faced him, face formal. His cold and suspicious look remained. It was like he just caught me doing something illegal and he's ready to punish me for it."I heard you said Emiliano Bosque. Tell me. How did you know him?" His voice was as cold as ice.I did not say a word. How would I answer, anyway?"Why can't you answer?" he demanded.My grip on the book tightened as he slowly stepped closer. I stepped back until I felt the shelf. I was swallowed. I think I've said everything cheaply in my mind. He's damn scaring the shit out of me!"Answer. Me."And he stopped half a foot away. He looked at me, wondering if he was still standing and as if his patience was about to be tightened."Who really are y
The Vampire and the Mage 33: Way back home
Back then, I didn't want Zach to visit there. But when I slowly learned to accept everything, little by little, I accepted Klyde was part of Zach's life. He is, after all, his father. Just like how my mom is still Mommy. I visit her at times, and even if I want to bring Zach, he doesn't want to.Mommy still haven't accepted it all, despite what happened. Even then, not once, he could not visit Ate. I thought he would also accept eventually, the mistake of Ate and her grandson, but to this day I am still waiting for that day to come. I don't know if she regretted the things she had done in her most private moments. All I know is, whatever she did before, I genuinely forgave her.But forgiveness doesn't mean I've forgotten everything he's done. It was still painful to look back until now. But I know holding grudges won't bring any good. You need to move on in order to see the brighter side of life, to taste the light in spite of how you got drowned in darkness in the past."Ma'am, I've
The Vampire and the Mage 34: Sweetest curse
"But something is bothering you, am I correct?"I didn't answer because he will just ask me what is it."Is it that Rellis?" he went on in a low and gentle voice."You are thinking twice of marrying me again because you don't want to hurt him. You care for him… you love him.""But I love you more."My eyes widened a fraction, surprised at my own words. Even Landon was taken aback by that."You love me more? Did I hear It right, Eve?"I was at loss for words."Love, please… say it again. Who is it you love more?"I shut my eyes tight. He chuckled and planted a soft kiss on my lips that made me look at him again."Say it again, Eve," he encouraged as he started kissing me on my neck. Now I don't think I can still think straight."Eve," he pleaded and from my waist, his hands crawled and wander around my curves and the parts that he had only touched. I felt low electric bolts when he touched my bare skin under the thin fabric I was wearing."Say it—""Yes, Landon, damn it! I love you mor
