《Eternity in the darkness》Chapter 10:Mate- Part 1
Advertisement
I was still sitting on Ruka's lap savoring every second of it. My words couldn't express the shock and excitement I now felt with everything being told. To be told that someone was made just for me brought me immense joy.
I did not feel the sparks and tingles how Rini had explained when mates touched each other but I felt warm and safe with the person sitting with me now. I took a deep breath inhaling his woodsy scent which was making me giddy.
"Eve I have something important to talk about," Ruka said breaking the trance I was in. I waited for him to continue.
"You remember what I told about you getting attacked that day by those two vampires?" I nodded my head, "Our doubt was right."
"What do you mean?" I asked him and after a few fractions of seconds, it dawned to me. That could not be possible.
"We thought it was just a random occurrence that happened. However, it wasn't possible. We have execution system in the arcade wherein if someone broke the law the penalty is death and this was one of them. Even after doing some investigation with the best trackers it was a dead end," he explained looking out from the window.
"But I never was involved with any vampires in my past except for one werewolf guy," I told him and he snapped his neck looking at me his eyes turning red and his posture turning stiff. I was aware of why vampires or werewolves eyes turn red or black. It meant only one thing. Anger, lust or jealousy. A strong emotion. Now, it did not seem like it was the former.
"Werewolf guy?" he asked cooly carrying a certain edge to his voice. Was he jealous?

"Yes, he's my best friends mate, Alex," I told him a little worried. I did not want him getting into a bad spot because of me, and it was another thing that Rini would chew me alive.
"Midnight packs beta?" he asked me. I nodded a yes and his posture seems to relax. So he knew him. Of course, he would know, I thought to myself.
"I think someone has figured out that you are my mate and that's the only reason I can think of now," he then took a deep breath, "You have nothing to worry about it. I will have Louis accompany you during school," he said smiling at me softly.
"No, I don't need that!" I protested. I did not want anyone babysitting me. I was perfectly fine taking care of myself.
"Your safety comes first love," and he continued, "You'll have combat lessons on weekends to defend yourself."
I gawked at him. Did I hear him what he said right? Was I preparing for war? This is stupid, I wanted to tell him but looking at his cool demeanor I just nodded my head.
"That's good." Dumb idiot, I scolded myself.
"For now I want you to keep the mate thing under the lid. Not even your friends at least until this whole attack thing is sorted out. Sebastian, Louis and Elizabeth are the only ones who are informed about it," I felt a slight disappointment but said an okay to it.
"Now then let's go eat," he said as I felt my stomach rumble which made my cheeks go a red shade.
We went to the dinner hall and saw Lizzy, Louis, Sebastian and three other people sitting already. There was a woman in her thirties and a fiery haired girl. Then there was a little boy who looked not more than three, Was he immortal too? They sat there talking like any normal family. I wonder where or what happened to Ruka's parents.

The seat next to Ruka was occupied by Sebastian and opposite to it sat a fiery haired girl. I made a eye contact with her and she glared at me. Wow, if looks could kill I thought dryly. When I took the nearest seat that was near the woman, she introduced herself with a warm smile,
"I'm Andria." She seemed sweet, "this is my son Aiden and that is our acquaintance, Megan," pointing to the fiery hair girl.
"Eve," I introduced myself politely, "Hi Aiden," I baby talked to him. He turned to look at me with his big brown eyes full of mischief. I smiled at him and he smiled back showing me his tiny teeth. I looked at Megan only to receive glares from her. What was she even glaring for?
"So Eve," Sebastian spoke, "How was school ?" he asked casually.
"Okay I guess. I survived," I grinned. He was easy to speak to who had a laid back character.
"That's good. I heard you met our annoying sister and Louis," he said referring to Lizzy, to which she glared at him.
"I'm not annoying," she protested as the food was brought in and we started eating. Ruka seemed to be talking to Megan about something.
"Any boys you liked?" he wiggled his eyebrow suggestively. This made Louis throw a dirty glare to Sebastian and Lizzy choked. Ruka seemed unfazed with it.
"Nope," I replied him back. Ruka had told he knew about us being mates then why was he trying to talk about guys. Ah, he was trying to ruffle Ruka's feathers but he seemed unfazed by Sebastian's question.
Was it because of that whole pull thing which was not in effect yet? Were we even mates? Yes, I did have an attraction to him, who would not? With that messy pitch-black hair, his piercing deep eyes, his perfect kissable pink lips...stop thinking that. I concentrated on my plate where the delicious food was waiting to be picked.
"Why is she even here?" a voice spoke up making me startle. It was Megan and she looked furious.

This world revolves around gaining a certain currency called E(Eliets), this worked as a currency for the planet Elier. This was a currency that could only be gained by slaying monsters in dungeons and trading their drop, loot whatever you want to call them for E in the dungeon centers. In this world however, there lies a system on the levels or ranks in each and every adventurer explorer. The levels are unlimited but there were only 10 ranks in each level. G,F,E,D,C,B,A,S,SS,SSS.

8 238Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.

8 111His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
