Deceiving the Mafia Lord のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

"And what would you do exactly to fix it?" I probed. I want to know. I am afraid of them engaging in a fight with that hunter who has abilities they are yet to discover, but I know that if the vampire government won't solve this as soon as possible, it is inevitable for them to oppress the hunter by force."You have nothing to worry about. There are nine of us in our family. Even though Roselle is not a fighter, our number is enough to oppress that hunter easily."Night came and Roselle cooked for my meal again. I told her that I know how a few things work in the kitchen, but she insisted that she would do it. So at the end, I just let her cook me a fried salmon. I praised her big time because even though her sense of taste is different from human's, she was able to do the cooking perfectly. I don't know if it is because she is a vampire that she can make anything possible, or if it is because she just puts passion into everything that

"Jaxon…" I mumbled too low for me to hear."Why are you here?" Franklin asked in a calm and controlled voice."This is a breach. You know that, don't you?" Jaxon replied, his tone lethal and I could almost hear in my mind the grinding sound of his teeth by the way he was clenching his jaw."I don't understand how this is a breach. As you can see…" Franklin stepped back a bit to show me. "Eve here is fine with us.""What is this Jax?" I asked. "Why are you with a bunch of…" I trailed off and looked at the wolves surrounding him."I am here to save you, Eve. I guess you don't even know what this family is hiding from you. They are monsters, Eve. They are evil!"Crislord growled at the same time Ross and Venus did."Monsters? Look at yourself, you mongrel. We don't shift like you, and here you are saying that we are the monsters?" Venus said with so much sarcasm.

It was a peaceful night for the both of us. I slept with a peace of mind because there is no killer vampire hunting for me, and Carter  just by my side.The next morning, Carter was nowhere to be found when I woke up. He only left a message saying that he left to change and that he will be back afterwards.I did my morning routines with my usual pace. I was already combing my hair when I heard a different noise outside. I looked through the window, thinking that maybe it was Carter driving a four-wheeled vehicle rather than his Diavel. But to my suprise, it wasn't Carter I had seen. It was Jaxon who got out of a black jeep.Since I was done with everything necessary, I went downstairs at once. The image of Jaxon with all those werewolves is still so fresh to me that I feel like I don't know what to say around him. Nevertheless, I should still face him. After all, he is my friend. And I believe that he will remain to be

"So, you really want to be like him? To be a bloodsucker just because of that goddamn love?""We have different choices in life, Jax. And my choice is to be with him, why can't you just respect that?""I would respect it if it's something that is good for you, Eve, not the other way around!""How can you say that it's not something that is good for me when you don't even know what I feel?""What you feel is out of the equation, Eve. Not everything that feels good is good for you. Vampires are humans' biggest predator. They are dangerous. Being with them will only put your life in danger."I shook my head. "Put my life in danger? They just protected me, Jax. They saved me, so how can you say that they will only put my life in danger?" I am starting to get annoyed with him again. I hate how he is trying to ruin the Rellis' image in my mind. But I know better. Franklin and Roselle are very good people, and

Jaxon may have been wrong for saying that but I understand that he did say that because he has valid reasons and I respect that as his friend. He only wants to save me from the danger he thinks I am into. I have no problem with that, but I just really hope that he will be sensitive to my feelings next time.“A bowl of cereal again? Aren’t you tired of that? You should eat something healthier, you know.”I chuckled. “What do you know about the healthy foods of humans, anyway?”“I have lived with humans for the past four centuries and it would be too dumb of me if I have no knowledge about your kind after all those years.”Well, he has a point. It is really a perk of being an immortal. However, I do not dream to live an eternal life in the world, so I decided that if I was given a choice, I would want to be like Carter. I only dream to become like him because through it, I would be able to be with him as long as I w
