EDENI was running. What I was running from, I had no idea. As my heart beat fast in my chest, I looked behind me to see whether whatever it was that was after me was still chasing me but it wasn't. So why was I still running? I tried to slow down but my legs won't stop moving on their own. “What the hell?” I thought to myself. My leg hit a stone and I fell in a puddle of water. As I lifted myself up, my eyes met with the image in the water. That was it. I was running from myself but whose face was that in the pool? Whose face was I wearing? I woke up with a jolt, the same way my heart had been beating in the dream was the same way it was beating right now.What the hell was that?And what the hell had happened?More importantly, where was I?Different objects hung from the ceiling, some of them shaped like birds and some shapes like things I hadn't seen before.How did I fall asleep and end up here?Last thing I remembered was seeing the dead man and running away. The fact that
EDEN“What do you mean? There has to be a way to get her out of me. I want no part in this so why am I forced? What does she want from me? I have nothing to give her!”A huge lump formed in my throat and I tried not to cry in front of this woman.“You were warned, weren't you? She warned you not to get injured. She warned you not to let your blood be exposed. What did you do?”I tried to think back to that day but it has almost been two months. I could barely remember anything that happened. Roman had barely been born and I was still in the daze of all that.Yes, she'd warned me about the blood but I think a lot of things were happening back then for me to remember. I had no idea that I ended up getting injured.“So that was how she got into me? Through my blood?”She nodded.“She enjoys blood sacrifices and seeing as her sister has taken an interest in you, she saw you as a good host.”“Her sister? Who's her sister?"“The Moon goddess. The Moon goddess is her sister.”There were a lot
ROMAN“Come on, baby. Go meet your aunt.”I had to send the kids away so I could get some work done. I've been trying to make some calls to get Eden back but no one seems to have seen her.Just.yy bylike we agreed to do, we checked her phones location and the GPS in the car she took but nothing came up.We even checked the cameras that may have caught her on her way out but nothing showed up. All the cameras were on maintenance that day.I felt very weak about the entire thing but I didn't want to lose hope, mainly because I knew that I had to get her back. I just had to.Eden was everything to me, I wanted to marry her and that was why I made sure to propose to her before she left so she'd know that I was serious about her.Quinn was also helping in every little way that she could. The fact that she wasn't around when Eden was leaving made things worse.I had to send Lucian back to the pack to take care of things. I didn't want to leave it unattended like before again because of what
EDENIt was another day in this hell.I had no idea what to do. All I did was wake up, walk around their damn house with no doors and windows and then go back to sleep.The woman barely said two words to me. All she did was stare at me like she wanted to remove my soul.”You know that's how you will continue to stay here for the rest of your life until you decide to stop being greedy.”What the hell.“Greedy? Am I being greedy? Who was the person who asked that bitch to enter me? Not me? So how am I the one being greedy? I'm not the one who gave up everything to summon her so why is she after me?!”“How dare you speak about her like that?!”My blood was boiling. I was sick and tired of this whole thing and this witch woman acting like it was my fault that all this happened.“What will happen ? You'll kill me? Go ahead, death is better than living this kind of life anyways.”She dropped what she was holding and walked closer to me.“Be careful what you wish for.”This was the closest s
LILITH“Where have you been?”I ignored her and put my flowers and fruits away. Today has been a very fruitful day, don't mind the pun.“Where have you been? Didn't you hear me?”I looked up at her slowly.“Are you speaking to me? I hope for your sake, that you're not. I'm in a good mood today and I won't want to kill anybody today."“You are not sticking to our agreement. We had an agreement before you came up here and you're messing things up.”I went to take a seat across the room.“What are you talking about? What agreement? I seem to have forgotten.”“What did you come up here for? Tell me.”I knew I was aggravating her but I didn't care. She couldn't force me to do anything I didn't want to do.“You came up here to kill Roman Floyd. What have you done regarding that? I thought we had a deal. I thought you kept to your promises!”“I would advise you to reduce your voice when you're speaking to me. I'm not your friend."I only came up here because I needed a break. I didn't care ab
ROMANI'd been on the phone with Lucian all day. Not being there to handle your pack was proving to be more stressful than it was supposed to be but I was glad that Lucian was there to do a good job.It gave me time to focus on my company and family here. Speaking to family, Alicia said we should go to the police to report Eden missing.She knew me better though and she knew that I would never do such a thing because I was capable of finding my wife myself.The last thing I wanted was for this issue to gain more attention than it was supposed to.I had no idea where Eden was and if it ended up being one of my enemies who took her, then I would have made a very big mistake by going to the police.Henry had sent a message this morning, telling me of his travel plan. I didn't know that it was going to happen this soon so I had to go out to see him.“How did it go?” I asked, referring to him telling Alicia about it.He looked so tired and stressed. Well, that'll make two of us.“I told he
LILITHIt has been pure luck. I'd followed him home that day and that was when I saw it.His phone ran and I returned the wallet back into his coat.As he picked up the phone, he stood by the window and stared out.”Hey Alicia, how're you doing?”I used that opportunity to look around the house for anything that will tell me about his marital status. There were no pictures of that woman anywhere but I could see a picture of the child.So was he a single father?But then why was she staring at him like that?“Eden is missing?! Since when?”I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned around. He knew Eden?“No, I haven't spoken to her in a very long time. I had no idea. I'll do what I can to find her okay? I really had no idea.”The call ended after and I sat down to look at him. How could anyone be this beautiful?If Eden had this man in her life as a friend, then why did she end up marrying that Roman or whatever his name was?He wasn't as handsome as Kian. She should have had children fo
EDENBy the time I woke up, I was in my car, by the end of Forest and seventy fifth street.I didn't understand what was going on. How the hell did I get here?I mean, I could have sworn I was just in that house right now. So what was going on?Lilith. She was the last person I saw. What did she do to me?Was she out of me, finally? What the hell was going on?I pulled down the mirror and looked at my face. I would be able to see anything. I have to get home, Belle.A car behind me suddenly snapped me out of my loud thoughts with its honking.“Get away from the road and learn how to drive, slut!” A middle aged man drives past me, flashing his middle finger.New yorkers. Always the same no matter how long you go away.What do I do?. Do I go back to the house first?By now, Roman would be looking for me, that's for sure. So what should I do?.Or maybe I should go see Alicia first.That's when I remembered I didn't carry my phone. Thankfully, there was a payphone right in front of me but
