57: Cheating Felix
Right after we finished the movie, Irish told us about the pizza house near here she had long wanted to visit. I just agreed and didn't bother myself about Peter and his views. After all, everyone has a freedom to think whatever they want to, and so as he. It just happened that I was the topic of his thoughts and it wasn't so nice. But then since I can see that he is treating Irish fairly, I think I can let that pass.
"That movie was so amazing! You saw how Lucy punched the killer straight to his face? Dang, so powerful," Irish was bubbling about the movie the whole time we were on the table. I answer her to make some conversation. Peter also joins the talk sometimes. Meanwhile, Carter was just sitting calmly and silently beside me, holding a glass of drink as his prop.
Although I was trying to respond and equal Irish's enthusiasm about the movie we had watched, my mind was slowly drifting away from the topic. And it didn't help that t

"You have known him for that long as well, but there must be things you don't know about him yet," Carter said with a lower voice as if he intentionally lowered it to hide something he did not want me to sense."I don't understand. You sound like you know something about him that I don't."He sighed. "I do know something about that boy that you don't. But his story is not mine to tell. Even if I don't see him as something vital in this world, I think he still has the right to say it to you himself. Well, that is if he ever has a plan to tell you."What Carter said was a big puzzle to me. But this time, I know that even if I insist that he should tell me, I know that he won't. And I think he also has a point. If it something confidential, then it is not his story to tell anymore. The thing here is, I'm not sure what he is referring to. Is it some sort of a secret that Jaxon has yet to tell me? Or not should be told but I shou
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 59: Visiting His Home
I looked at myself in the mirror. I just stopped walking back and forth like some psycho who can't behave her ass. I also kept on checking my clothes, my hair, my face, and everything that could be noticed about me. Well, who can blame me? It's weekend today. The day I promised Carter that I would meet his parents in their home.The past few days, I have been really preparing myself for this even Carter told me many times that I have nothing to worry about. But isn't it normal for the girlfriend to be nervous when meeting her boyfriend's family for the first time?I looked at my outfit again. I was really torn earlier if I should wear something so feminine like a dress, skirt or if I should just be casual and have my usual attire when I am walking around Lynnwood – skinny jeans, fitted blouse, cardigan and sneakers. Though at the end, I decided to choose the latter since I am more comfortable with it.My hair was on lo
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 60: Rellis Abilities
"Hi, Eve. I'm Roselle. Welcome to our home," Roselle said in her sweet, feminine voice that could surely sooth anyone's heartaches."Hello," I replied, a bit fluttered."Here is Franklin, my husband," she added."It is nice to meet you, Eve," Franklin said in a deep baritone. He is very manly and I'm sure even with all his children, women would still go beyond hell just to have him. But I don't think he would even glance at other women with him having a wife as beautiful as Roselle."So it's really true that Mayor Walter's daughter is really beautiful," Roselle praised. I could feel the heat on my cheeks."Ah," I smiled shyly because I didn't know what to say.I just glanced around to ease the tension I am feeling. Like Carter had said, everyone is present. Sitting on the sofa were Thomas and Crislord, both observing the happenings. Travis is standing near the staircase, playing with somethin
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 61: Don't Worry
He stepped on the gas and the speed went like crazy. His speed didn't scare me anymore. It feels like I'm already used to it. What makes me worry is the fact that a vampire is after my head and is willing to do anything to kill me. It sounds like a scene in some suspense movie, but I can't feel any kind of thrill at this point. I am afraid that the hunter would end up killing somebody else since he could not touch me because I am under a powerful vampire family's protection.I got my phone in my jeans and searched for Mom's number in my contacts. She won't be home soon, so we cannot talk in person. So I am left with no choice but to talk with her on the phone to say my alibi. In that way, she will not worry over me if I won't be home for the next few days."Hello, Eve. What's with the call?" Mom asked on the other line."Mom," I paused and organized my thoughts. I couldn't think of any alibi that I could use that would be be
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 62: Worried Jaxon
"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
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 63: Another Revelation
Right after my quick bath and dressing, I went downstairs and saw everyone in the living room having some sort of informal meeting."Good morning, Eve," Roselle greeted sweetly."Good morning."Carter made me sit between him and Emery."Alright. As I was saying, the government can't act on this matter yet because they still have to deal with the big group of newborns in Russia that is spreading death all over the place. So what Florence had told me is that we should solve this matter ourselves and report the results later on.""I can catch and kill him, then. Problem solved," Crislord said. If only Thomas was around, I'm sure he would have said the same thing."Emery can track him down so it would not be hard for us to find wherever he is," Ross said."Or we can make her a bait," Venus butt in, her cold amber eyes were directed to me."Venus," Carter warned.Travis chuckled. "Come on, sis. There is no need for a bait. We
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 64: Girlfriend
"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.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 65: Almost a War
I still couldn't believe it.I was already in Carter's room, sitting on his bed, about thirty minutes had already passed after the heated moment between Carter's family and Jaxon's pack, but still I could hardly believe that Jaxon is no ordinary human. He is not like Carter, but he is definitely a supernatural being considering that he can shift into a huge werewolf with supernatural abilities.Right after Franklin promised to oppress the hunter before sunset and to send me home as soon as possible, Jaxon somehow relaxed. I think Franklin's charm really works to anyone. You know, when you look at him, he would seem like a very kind person to you, someone who has a pure heart and is very gentle to others. Maybe that was part of the reason why Jaxon had calmed, because if Crislord was the one talking, I doubt if the werewolves would leave peacefully. They would more likely end up fighting each other without a valid reason."Th
