7 Of Hearts Mga Nobela at Kwento

"Deal the hand, I need to win back some snacks." Josh dealt but was clearly distracted. I glanced at my cards, I had the eight, queen, king and ace of hearts, along with the four of clubs. It was nothing if I didn't pick up anything good, or I could discard the four and hope for another heart to make a flush. Or, if I was really daring, I could get rid of the eight as well and hope for the jack and ten of hearts, making the royal flush.

I watched them closely, not risking even the slightest movement. Matteo scratched the corner of his mouth, something he always did when he had a strong hand. The one with a scar on his eyebrow tapped the table twice when he was bluffing a capture. The quiet one on the left breathed through his nose, something he also did when he was screwed. First two rounds, I lost to them. But not again, even if it meant having a tie. The table now has a seven of cups, a three of swords, a king, and the ace of coins — the most valuable card in the deck.

I ran my fingers via her hair, inhaling out barely entangled scent. I brushed my finger over her mark, feeling the outline of two hearts with a wolf in the middle. She shivered underneath my touch, moaning unconsiously. I moved my hand to my neck, rubbing my finger over the newly forming mark. It used to be a moon with two wolves in front of it. I smiled, I have a mate again....

"No. Not yet. First thing first, you need to ask one of us if we have a card." Still confused, JumpStart looks at QuickShot. "Do you, uh, have this card?" JumpStarts takes out a card and show it to QuickShot. "No," QuickShot answers. "Go fish. Also, that's called the Seven of Clubs, and you don't have to show it to me." "Okay," JumpStart says. He puts the card back in my hand and draws a new card from the deck. "Now what?" "Now it's SpeedBlade's turn," I say. I point to SpeedBlade. "SpeedBlade. Ask away."

CHAPTER ONE Two sleek black sports cars pulled up in front of Pizzeria Da Laura. Two guards swiftly exited the first car, with one opening the door for a young, handsome man dressed in a black suit. His expression was unreadable, and he seems to be emitting a powerful aura. The man is none other than Richard Roberts, the third offspring of the third wealthiest clan in California. A charming, fair lady emerged from the other side of the car and rushed towards him, intertwining her hands with his and giving him a peck.

Jack of Hearts. "I will do what I can to protect you guys and make us another plan if necessary" Then Xavier showed us his last card. King of Hearts. "I will do whatever it takes to make sure Dominic isn't found and that everyone leaves alive." Jake then turned his final card. Ace of Hearts. "My job will be to help our gang escape and explain to them what's really going on." We nodded in agreement before everyone looked at me. "And finally," Xavier announced which made me smirk demonically. I turned my card and held it in between two of my fingers. "Our Queen!"

“Just deal me three and save some time. Right, no need to deal them face-down. Just show me the cards.” Harvey was indifferent. He had no interest in flipping the cards up himself. “Fine, as you wish!” Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Kait dealt three cards at the same time. Flip! An ace of hearts. An ace of hearts with a king counts toward eleven points. Bryan and the others chuckled. “This kid does have some dumb luck after all.” Flip! The next card was the ace of spades. Bryan was quite shocked. He subconsciously said, “He’s getting pretty lucky here…”

I said and started to turn my back on him, already starting to leave, but then he spoke again. “I really hope you could bring Eliana Deere home, Hugo. Wasn’t that the plan all along? Getting close to her, making her trust you; fall in love with you, even. And then marriage would enter the picture. A clever plan by the way, brother. The merging of the Deere pack with us would give us more power. It would even give you the position of being the leader of the pack, wouldn’t it?” he said with a smirk on his face. Oh, how I want to erase it off of his face so badly. My blood is literally boiling right now. I feel like exploding on the spot.

"You saved me, Mira. Not because you tried to fix me—because you saw me. All of me. The dark parts and the broken parts and the parts I thought were unlovable. And you stayed." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. "I've given you rings before. Contracts, promises, symbols of things we were still figuring out. But this one is different." He opened the box. Inside was a simple band—platinum, unadorned, engraved on the inside with words too small to read.

He set the deck down and ate the apple quickly. I picked up the cards and turned them over in my hands. Each card was different but there were four symbols scattered throughout the deck. “Okay so… I see a blue star, a black circle, a green weird looking square and then a red triangle?” I asked as I picked the cards out and set them down as he continued eating. “Mhm. The green one is called a diamond. What else do you notice?” He asked as he bit into the ham.
