Hide Behind A Smile Novels & Stories

I said. She swallowed. “You keep telling me to hide like I’m shameful.” “You’re combustible,” I answered. “There’s a difference.” Town sat close enough to pretend it didn’t matter. I took the long route anyway, cutting through service roads, checking mirrors. Mara stared out the window like she was counting turns. “You’re mapping,” I said. “I’m breathing,” she answered. I parked behind an abandoned feed store at the edge of town. Headlights off. Engine running. Across the lot sat a dark truck with blacked-out windows and no front plate.

I walked over. “What was so important?” Instead of answering… He held something behind his back. My eyebrows lifted. “Logan.” “What?” “You’re smiling.” “I know.” “What are you hiding?” “Nothing.” “Liar.” “I learned from the best.” I folded my arms. “You’ve got exactly five seconds.” He laughed. “Okay.” Slowly… He brought one hand forward.

I shot back, "Isn't it convenient to pin everything on a scapegoat when you need someone to blame? I don't even have a magical guardian bound to me. How could I possibly have destroyed Ebonwave Island? It was clearly Yasmin's Wyvern that did it!" Yasmin, displeased, retorted, "You lack the skills, but it's not just about that, is it? You're bitter because Father locked you up and took away your chance to bond with those magical guardians. And you're green with envy because I've got the Wyrm Lord on my side. So, you're out for payback against him and me! Hiding behind your princess title, you swiped the white Wyvern egg, acting like you never stepped foot off Ebonwave Island.

I shook my thoughts and hugged him sincerely. "Thank you so much." I was grinning like a mad girl who was escaped from the mental hospital. "Reil--- hmm.... hope I'm not disturbing your lovely moments." Dacy hid her smile whereas Nichole chewed her lower lips to hide her anxiety. "We were just talking!" I tried to convince them but they know I'm bad at lying. "Ahh--- we don't mind." Dacy teased showing her perfect white teeth. "Then why are you here?" Blake questioned them irritation is evident in his voice. He needs to learn to be easy on them.

Justin nodded and replied “It’s pretty much as we feared. Serena could never win mother of the year. The whole time he’s been watching her she’s spent getting high, being high, or getting drunk. The problem here gentlemen is that there is no way that Stacia contained this situation on her own. There has, to be someone she trusted to keep her secret. Because this woman still continues to receive money to support her habits and Stacia’s been dead for two years.” It was Nicolas the youngest Denae who said “Follow the money.

It was infuriating and he knew the first order of the day would be to find the person it belonged to but he also, instinctively knew, not to tell Alpha Damon about it. Something about the man seemed off somehow, as though he was hiding something and Liam was determined to find out exactly what it was.

Ashley immediately looked at him, feeling guilty, "What's the matter?" Jacob was still smiling, with a shallow breath. His mood seemed to be extremely good, "Nothing." "…" "I suddenly feel that," Jacob reluctantly reined in his smile and whispered, "Mike is quite smart." "…"
