EDEN

Alicia and I just sat outside on the chairs by the pool, taking in the fresh breeze of the early evening when we heard a scream.

We’d been bored, with nothing to do all afternoon. Without due dates getting closer and closer, it felt like we were carrying the whole world in our bellies.

“When this baby comes out, I’m going to leave the kids with Henry and run away to another country. That’s payback for leaving me alone for all this while.”

We laughed.

‘I’m sure he’ll understand. You deserve a break.”

‘We deserve breaks. I feel like I'm carrying more than one kid in my belly. I really hope it's not twins, I might actually cry.”

“No, I'd love for them to be twins. It would be so lovely to be their aunt.”

She gave me the stink eye.

“Of course, it will be lovely. You’re not the one carrying them, how about you give birth to twins too and I carry them?”

“No, I'm sure this child will be a boy. Just one boy, I'm sure of it.”

She rolled her eyes and nodded.

    ROWANWe found her body on the ground but her head was hung on the ceiling, her hair used as ropes.The scene before us was mortifying. When I was called down as a state of emergency, I thought it was because Elena had tried to kill herself or she had decided to sell me the truth about Rowan. I hadn’t been expecting this.From the gate, the two guards that had been placed at the gate were on the floor motionless and there was no blood around them.“They’re dead, Alpha.” Lucian declared.I checked again to be double sure. He was right, they were dead.I walked past them, walking deeper into the cell when I began to see the liquid around me. It was like a stream, flowing from a headless source.The first thing I saw was not actually the blood but the bone in her neck from where she had been decapitated.Her body lay on the floor, in the pool of blood and there was still blood dripping from her head to the floor.Only two questions were on my mind.How did he manage to overpower her and

    EdenI picked Ethan up in my arms and brought him closer to me. It wasn't him, it wasn't my baby. Nothing happened to him.It's okay. My kids are fine.Alicia entered the room alert and calmed down when she saw my smile.“It’s not him. It's not my baby. It's not Ethan.”Thank you Herschel for protecting him. The fact that he was still sleeping soundly in all of this.“I’m so happy. I'm so happy.”Alicia came around and sat with us.“Where are the kids? Did you leave them down there?”“Relax, they went to their rooms. They're in their rooms."I didn't know why I was being out through all of this. What did I do to deserve it? I couldn't continue to live in fear for my children's lives all the days of my life. They'd already been traumatized enough. He almost killed Belle!.”Alicia, I'm leaving.”“I’m going back home. I don't think I can stay here anymore. With the way things are going, I don't want it to be one of my kids one day. I Won't be able to handle it, Alicia. Coco can come stay

    EDENI looked down at the baby in my arms, as Roman had the widest smile I had ever seen.He looked like a little puppy right now who had just been given the treat he'd asked for.”Come here. Hold your son.”He cleaned his hands on his jeans and stepped forward, taking a seat beside me.His smile deemed a bit as he looked at him.“I’ve never carried a baby before. What if I injure him?”I laughed."He's your son. You can't hurt him.”He gave me a look first before looking at him again and stretching out his hand to hold him.I could see that he was nervous when I first placed him in his hands and I placed my hands under his to help him.”Are you okay?”He didn’t even answer me, he just placed his eyes on the baby.My son was finally here. His birth was everything I wanted it to be. Painless and quick. By the time the doctor got here, he was already crowing.“Roman.” I heard him say.“What? My son, Roman.”He looked at me like he was seeking my permission. I just smiled and nodded. The

    THIRD PERSON POV.I picked up the phone and pressed it to my ear, letting it ring while I watched the bastard get flogged.“Stop shouting. I’m making a call.”I chased them away when the call connected.“How are things over there? Have you started making plans?”“Yes, I've given the declaration of war already and I'm already making plans to advance to his pack very soon.”It’s a good thing I called him now.“Call it off.”He cleared his throat.“What did you say?”“I said, call it off. Fall back, cancel the whole thing, I don't want it anymore.”He laughed deeply and I let him, so that I could continue talking.“You know that's not possible so why do you say things like that? Don’t joke like that. I plan on going over this weekend to take care of that bastard and you can’t stop me. I’ve already had so many things, so I hope you’re joking.”“I’m not joking, Cage. Call the entire thing off.”After thinking about it for a while, I decided to start making plans by myself. The more I thoug

    THIRD PERSON'S POVNow, the only thing on my mind was how I was going to get Eden’s blood and Roman’s as well. Since they had decided not to come back to New York, it also meant that I was left with nothing to do and no way to get to them.When I received the call of her death and how she had died, I felt so much relief. Rowan had done the perfect job and I was sure that Roman would want to relocate back here.The scene had been so gruesome that the pictures made me feel nauseous.“Good job.”Making Rowan had been the hardest part of this mission. Yes, making.He wasn’t real. He is the product of several nights of incantations and blood sacrifices. His forming had taken a long time since no special blood was involved and as soon as I got information that he was ready, I got in contact with Elena immediately.It wasn’t hard getting her on my side. She was a golddigger with a crazy and unhealthy obsession for Roman so she was very happy to carry out this plan.The plan was for her to t

    EDENWe were going back to New York. A lot has happened in the past few days.I’d woken up that night with no recollection of the dream I had even though i knew that i had a dream. It had been happening more frequently. I would have dreams and would wake up with only the knowledge that I had a dream but I won't remember anything about it.Oh well, i wa just happy that i wasn’t dead and that i got to see my baby. When I found out that Alicia had twins. They looked so beautiful and I loved how she was so happy. She deserved all the happiness she could get right now.At least, it would take her mind off Henry’s disappearance. She wished he were there at their birth because he would have loved to see him but oh well.The day after we gave birth, Alicia was in my room with the kids while Roman had successfully taken my child away from me. I loved how he was holding the baby so gentle. He truly had not held a baby before and it showed. This big bad man being so soft for someone so little.

    ROMAN“Don’t worry. We’ll find him immediately.”Eden was on the matter of Henry again and it made me panic because I didn't know what to tell her. Luckily, one of my men stopped me and I used the opportunity to get away from her.“Go on in, I'll meet you.”As she walked away, I sighed. At the end of the day, I really hoped that I didn't have to tell them what I had in mind because I would hate it.As I tried to walk away,thinking he had only been there to greet me, he stopped me.“Boss, a letter came for you.”First of all, no one knew that this was my house. They knew the house but they had no idea that I was the owner.Also, who still sent a letter these days and with a seal. When I took the letter from him the seal looked familiar but I just couldn’t place my finger on it.This was suspicious but I opened it.“Dearest Enemy, Welcome back to the city. I’m sure you’re wondering why Cage called off the war so quickly? That was because I asked him to. You see, all the issues you have

    ROMANI hated the look that was in her eye as I dressed up. As much as I didn't want to look at her because I knew that it would make me weak in the knees, I just couldn't bring myself not to.I knew her fears and I shared in her fears.No matter what happened out there today, I will make sure that I came back for her.I won't leave her to raise my kids alone. I won't leave her all alone with no one to help her. She needed to be cared for.As I held her, about to say my goodbye, there was a loud bang below us and I immediately pulled her into me to shield her from whatever it was.”What was that?! Roman!”I quickly got to my feet and dragged her into the bathroom.“Stay here, don't come out until it's all over."She refused to leave my hand.”Roman, please.”I kissed her like it was my last time.”I’ll be back, baby. I promise."I closed the door and ran out of the room, locking it behind me in case someone decided to come up here.The kids had been transported out of the house since

    THIRD PERSON POVWhile everyone back home was looking for Roman, he was on the other side of the town, looking through his pockets and swearing that he carried his phone.The minister noticed that he was distracted.“Is there anything you need? Are you looking for something?”Roman looked up.“Yes, I'm sure that I carried my phone but now, I can't find it.”Roman knew that he would have gotten so many calls. He'd left the house very early and no one knew where he was.He didn't take any guard with him either.“Maybe it fell on the way."Of course, it did. With all those bullets raining on his head, why won't it fall out?It had been pure luck that he had escaped. He was almost at the minister's house when he noticed a car that he was sure he'd seen when he got off the highway.He'd rolled his eyes, not wanting to be involved in any of this today.“Can we do this in a week? I have something to do today.”What should he do now? He knew he couldn't avoid them.To make sure that he was ri

    EDENIT was already seven pm and I still couldn't find him. I was ready and so was everyone else but he was nowhere to be found.I'd called him and so had Quinn but he wasn't picking up his calls at all.“Edem, are you sure he didn't tell you where he was going?”I thought back to last night and scrolled through our conversation.“No, I don't remember him saying anything about going anywhere. After I told him about the officiating minister, that was where the conversation ended. Nothing more happened.”Quinn came back.“His phone is switched off.”Wonderful, just great. Roman was missing on no other day than our wedding day.Where could he be? Even if he was stuck in traffic, he could at least pick up his phone.Or maybe he truly wasn't interested in getting married to me.But then he would have just said it then when I brought it up. Why didn't he say anything? He had the choice to reject me last night but he didn't.”Eden, don't worry. We'll find him in time for the wedding.”Alicia

    EDENI woke up early that morning.Well, we didn't sleep after that.. we stayed up the entire night talking about everything we'd been through and it touched me.Eventually, I fell asleep on his shoulder and I didn't even know. I was sitting in his lap and I woke up on the bed.Alicia was standing above me .“Hey, wake up. Let's get you ready. Roman left the house really early this morning and I have to go back home to get a dress for myself. I mean, I can't wear this.”She had eye bags and her face was very dim. She has started crying again sometime during the night.”Alicia, sit down. We need to talk.”She was avoiding my eyes.“Eden, there's a lot to be done today. I mean, you don't even have a makeup artist or a hairstylist either. Your dress isn't here yet and the food isn't ready. There's a lot to be done.”I knew that all that wasn't truly her concern. She was just trying to avoid talking about me.“Alicia, please -”“Eden, there's no time. We need to get ready."I had to get

    EDENWhen I finally got into the house later that night, I couldn't sleep so I just stared out the window at the stary night.Alicia had fallen asleep while feeding the kids so I would break the news to her tomorrow.I'd had to tell Quinn what had happened.“Really?! Was that why you were staring into the dark?””Yes, she was standing there. I'm not going to die, Quinn. I'm going to be here with my kids.”She pulled me in for a hug and held me tightly.“I'm so happy, Eden. You don't know how terrible I felt when you told me that. How can you die without watching your kids grow up?"I was just happy that I hadn't rushed to tell Roman anything that was going on.He was clearly exhausted because he didn't even wake up when I entered the room and when I got in the bed. I was equally so tired because I had spent a lot of time getting things ready today.My body was tired but my mind was still awake and buzzing.I was going to get married tomorrow. I should have told Quinn that we should ju

    EDENWe got back home late that night.Mostly because we needed to pull ourselves so that we won't show that we've been crying.Everytime we finally stopped crying, Alicia started again and we started another whole process of consoling each other.“Please stop crying. I don't know what I'm going to do if you're like this.”She finally pulled herself together and we got into the car and drove back home.“Are you really not going to tell Roman?"“I don't have a plan to. I'm sorry, I just can't bring myself to tell him. He will be shattered, Alicia.”She still wasn't fine with it but she didn't say anything else until we got home.Alicia went into the house to check in on Roman and the kids while I went to the back of the house to check in on what Quinn was doing.She was actually on a chair and table with her legs up while eating everything she brought from the restaurant.“You seem to be enjoying yourself.”My voice frightened her.“Sorry about that.”“You guys surely took your time..

    EDENWe'd ended up at a restaurant because the bar we wanted to go to was closed.Roman had already called me four times to ask Alicia questions about the twins and he sounded like he was about to lose it.“Let’s eat so much that we won't be able to walk again.”And that's what we did. I think we ordered everything in the menu and we basically had the chef at our call to make anything that we wanted.That was the first time I would be eating so much food in one day and it felt so good.“I don't think I can eat anymore. I'm so full.”Quinn had been the one to bring us here and now she was already full. Alicia's mood had changed and she wasn't speaking anymore.Quinn's phone rang and she stood up to answer it.“Alicia-”“What’s going on, Eden? And don't even tell me not to ask questions. Because you can't keep doing this. I'm your best friend. You have to be truthful.”What was sj to do at this point? I had no other choice than to tell her the truth.She deserved that much.“Balari came

    EDENAlicia did come over that evening.And we stayed in the room throughout.“It’s fine. I'll take care of the kids. You guys just do what girls do. Whatever it is that you do.”Roman took the twins and left us.“What in the world happened? Why did you faint?"I acted like I had no idea what was going on.“I mean, I don't know. I just felt weak and tired and next thing I know, I'm waking up in a hospital.”“Woah, that is crazy.. but you're fine right? I mean, yorie okay?"“Yes, I'm fine.”I needed to change the topic.“Hey, about Henry, I've spoken to Roman about it and he had no idea that Henry wasn't home. He said he was going to help track him down.”I actually hadn't spoken to Roman about it but I just needed to say something that would make her forget about the previous topic.“Thank you. I just hope we won't have to go through everything we went through back then. He'll surely come back.”Surely, he will. He's probably just busy.Speaking of Roman doing things, I still needed t

    EDENI'd come home the day after that. The doctor said that I was free and healthy to leave but I didn't feel free.“Why the long face? Aren't you happy to come home?”I turned to Roman who was driving.”Oh no, it's nothing like that. I'm just tired."What was the point of being happy when I knew what was coming? And I couldn't tell him. I didn't want him to feel responsible for it.Roman is very quick to blame himself and I didn't want him to. I should just die peacefully so that he would have the guts to move on from me.If I told him that it was because of him I was going to die, then I would mess things up.I recalled my last conversation with Balari.“Are you sure it's what you want, Eden? Men are not worth it. You can live with your kids and raise them in your own way. You don't have to do this.”But it seemed like the more we spoke about it, the more determined I was to do it.“I do, actually. I love Roman, I can't let him die for something he has no hand in.”“And you have a

    EDENWhen I woke up, it was dark.Why was it dark and where was I? I knew this wasn't my room, and it surely didn't smell like this.I tried to move my hand and when I saw the IV line shake, I sighed. The hospital.How did I end up here and why didn't I remember anything?Me being here meant that something had happened to me but for the life of me, I couldn't bring myself to. I felt so weak so I just relaxed in my bed.I didn't even have the strength to call for help and eventually, I slept.The next time I woke up, the sun was out thankfully and my eyes didn't feel as heavy as a boulder.My stomach was hurting badly, partly the fact that I hadn't eaten in a day and half. I needed food or else I might actually die this time around..I sat up in my bed, clutching my stomach tightly. I also needed to pee. I've never been to the hospital before.Roman was born in the pack and Belle?Well, Belle was born at home because I had no idea I was in labor and since Alicia and I had never been mo
