We live, We love, We lie

Chapter 10

Yakov's POV :

A few hours ago:

I saw Angela go and my heart started shattering into a million pieces. I fell on my knees and clutched my heart.

Just then, nonna appeared out of nowhere. She raised me up and led me back to the house. She made me sit on the couch and she gave me an earful.

"Who in their right mind would leave their MATE, you stupid boy!"

"Nonna, I don't want her to get involved with me. I'm just her poison."

"I can't believe you used your sister's projection to get Angela to go."

My eyes were wide in shock, "How did you know?"

"I have my sources. Yakov, dear, Brittany also loves her. She would be so angry and upset if she got to know what you did using her projection. Most of the elder vampires approved of her including me. They all saw a glimpse of her and her actions. She's tough, strong, courageous, fearless and doesn't cry for mere things. Hell, she's not even an inch intimidated by you. She is the best for you. She should be able to sense auras by now."

"But nonna, she's gone."

Just then, I was alert. Something was happening to my heart and I was gasping for air. Nonna rushed to my side. After a while I spoke, "My mate, danger is lurking around her."

"Of course evil gets attracted when your unmarked mate leaves you. Mind link to her. Your bond is very strong."

I managed to conversate with her. She said my name with such hatred that it felt like someone was stepping on my heart. I even knew when that evil spirit was freaking kissing MY ANGELA! A loud roar erupted from me when that happened. I quickly thanked nonna and left with a jar of water from the Tista river.

I ran with full speed, a vampire is super fast and when I was in front of her door, I heard her screaming my name. I quickly rushed in and quickly poured the water all over the evil spirit and it vanished.

I closed the portal that it opened and turned to face Angela.

Angela's POV :

He stared at me for a long time and started approaching me. I put my palm in front of his face and he abruptly stopped with a hurt expression in his eyes. I just wanted to jump on him and never let go. What the fidget spinners? What am I thinking?

I asked, "What was that?"

"That was an evil spirit. They want the souls of those unmarked by their mates. Since you left my side, it was after you since it thought I was out of the picture."

"So everything it told me was a lie?"

I explained everything that evil spirit told me and Yakov listened with rapt attention.

"Yes, everything it told you was a lie. First of all, the spirit took form of your cousin, King Demostovatino Varcovic. Indeed your grandma was a devil, but the good kind like your cousin. You didn't get any devil genes. Your cousin is the king of devils and he is married to Queen Riviana Quarus Varcovic. The evil spirit wasn't talking about your parents. It was talking about Queen Riviana's parents. Most of all, vampires don't have their choice in mates. They will love their mates unconditionally. We cannot function properly without our mates."

I took a while for digesting this information.

He continued, "Your grandma was the queen of demons. She gave birth to a son and a daughter who were devils as well. Her son who was your dad loved a human, so he gave up his devil powers to be with your mother. Soon, they were wanted in the devil realm, so they left you on earth. When you were born, they were both humans, but after you were born, your dad got his powers back and so your mom turned into a devil as well. Now, they live with your cousin."

"Continue."

"Everyone in the devil realm loved King Demostovatino and moreover, he had royal blood in him. Hence, he became their king. He loves his Queen more than anything."

I paced back and forth for ten minutes and asked him, "Then why did I feel that way around it?"

"It manipulated your power of sensing auras, so you felt comfortable because it used my aura all around it and so you felt like you were with me AND you did something else." This time Yakov's fangs came out.

I looked down ashamed. Who knew it was manipulating me?

Yakov quickly came near me like he couldn't control himself from touching me anymore and pushed my chin up with his fingers.

He came closer to my face and whispered, "Hey, it's not your fault, it's totally my fault."

I pouted and said, "Exactly."

Then, a slow heart melting smile appeared on his face. He cupped the back of my head and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry darling."

"Wait, you have a lot more explaining to do, but I feel really filthy, so let me take a shower."

Then he asked, "Do I get to come with?"

"You can come IF you want bruises and scratches all over your body."

He sat on the couch while I took a nice long shower. I shampooed my hair three times and washed by body and lips five times or more."

I came out fresh and clean and asked him, "Thanks for saving me, but why did you do it?"

"You're my mate for vampires' sake!"

"Why did you say you didn't want me as your mate."

"I thought I didn't deserve you. Jeez! I'm not the cheesy guy, but I can't live without you physically or emotionally. I guess......I'm so sorry."

"Then what about Brittany?"

"Brittany is my sister. I used her projection so you don't have to involve yourself with me and ruin your life because of me. She's mated and she has a son."

My mouth formed an 'o' shape. She looked so young.

I walked upto him and pounded his chest, "Why did you do that? I didn't want to admit it, but I couldn't help, but feel half of my heart was missing. I even the thought the evil spirit was handsomer than you." There was water flowing down my cheeks. Yeah, yeah so what if tears were coming. I'm on an emotional breakdown now.

Yakov hugged me and faced me. He wiped away my tears with his thumb.

"Shhhh. Don't cry baby. I'm here now. I was a stupid Neanderthal."

"You still are and I don't need you anymore. Get away from me."

I started walking away from him.

"Don't you dare walk away from me Angela."

"I just did and what are you going to do about it, huh? Bring another girl? Huh? Tell me, Yakov, what will you do, huh?" I poked my finger into his solid hard chest. He pulled me forward by my hips and placed his mouth over mine. My eyes were wide is what the normal girls say, but I kind of saw it coming. I didn't want to let go of him.

He pulled away for a second, but this time I pulled his hair so his lips met with mine again. I thought he would be surprised, but the Neanderthal just smirked.

"Missed this, eh?" He motioned his hand over his body.

"Actually, yes I did." He thought I would say no.

I feel like I can entrust my life to him. I feel so many emotions coming off of him. Happiness, sadness, loneliness, love?

Wait! Why am I felling HIS EMOTIONS and AURAS??!
