EDEN

That voice made me freeze and my heart beat faster in my chest. A familiar scent caught my nose and I thought hard about its origin.

Suddenly, I started seeing flashes of what I seemed to have forgotten. Flashes of that night. But it was all blurry that I couldn’t really say I got anything tangible.

“How dare you?! What the hell are you doing here?!” I heard the Alpha’s loud voice rumble through the house filled with so much anger.

I've never heard him speak like that with anybody. Not even me.

I could see the deep frown on the Alpha's face and the way he was shouting at the top of his voice. Almost baring his teeth, made me wonder who it was that he was speaking to.

I couldn't help the uncomfortable feeling that I felt in the pit of my stomach.

Nelly was standing in front of me so I had to look past her legs to try to see what was going on in front but I still couldn’t see since I was seated.

“I’m telling you, Roman. Get the hell out of my pack before I lose it!”

    ROMANWe’ve been sitting in silence for almost ten minutes.Tim kept drinking water like a whale and it was starting to piss me off. I was sitting with someone whose head I've wanted since I'd grown up to know what hatred was. My father wanted his throat. Both of them had been at it since the beginning of time and I’d never known why but all I'd been told was that my father said to kill him as soon as I had the chance. It has been like that since his grandfather and his grandfather’s grandfather.The two families were like water and oil. They never mix. They never come to an agreement.And I was going to put all that behind us and slit his throat right now if he doesn’t stop drinking that damned water. “What the fuck is your problem?” I snapped, when I finally lost my patience. “Take what you want and leave.” He replied immediately. Like he had been waiting for me to speak. How stupid did he really think I was? I should take her so he'd ambush me when I least expect it? No way.

    EDEN The Alpha came into my room two nights later with the same signature scowl in his face. I hadn't been expecting him to be here since I hadn't seen him all day. I even thought he’d left and I was relieved. After all, Nelly and Ryker’s wedding was happening this weekend and he had barely been around all week since he had things to discuss with that pervert.So when he walked into my “room” that night, my heart almost grew twice in size because of fear. “Good evening, Alpha.” Of course he didn't respond. That disgusted look he gave me every time he saw me didn't fail to show itself today.“The Lycan has decided that your marriage will be arranged for this weekend.” What? What was he talking about? What wedding?“What wedding? Who's wedding?” I stuttered.“You are going to marry the man you got pregnant for, you whore!” No. He had to be joking. I couldn't marry him! That would make me bound to him forever. I thought he just wanted the baby, I thought the baby was his desire so

    EDEN Nothing would prepare me for the events that would take place leading up to the doomed wedding. One of the guards came down one day while I was preparing to come up for the day.“Pack your bags. You're coming with me.” That was all he said and before proceeding up the stairs like a robot. Maybe it was a mistake. I had thought to myself.I didn't have any bags to pack and also, I hadn't seen this guy before. What was Nelly planning this time? Or was it the Alpha? When I was still standing in that same spot, he came back down and we entered a staring contest. ”Come with me, the Alpha is waiting.” He sounded pissed off. When I heard that, the thought that the Alpha was calling me and I was wasting so much time crossed my mind and I really didn't want any more punishments. My body was getting too weak for that so I just stuffed a few things in my bag and went with the guard. Where were we going? And why did he ask me to pack a bag? I followed the guard in silence till we go

    EDENSomehow, I’d been able to keep track of the days, so I knew today was Friday. The day before the wedding.Rather, the day before my life got completely ruined.The ride to this pack took a few days since it was at the far end of the state due to disputes regarding the borders between werewolves and Lycans.Initially, I didn’t know where I was being taken to until the lady said that I didn’t have to look so scared here because I was in the pack of the Lycan King.We arrived at night so I didn’t get the chance to properly see anything or anybody. She just put me in this room and asked me to tell the guards at the door if I needed something or if I wanted to see her.This room was huge. I had my own very soft bed, my own bathroom and windows. I’d also been eating very well and not just scraps. I didn’t know if it was because I was pregnant or because I was pregnant for the King.If that made any sense.The night I arrived, I slept on the floor, thinking that the bed was reserved for

    EDEN I felt like a doll. Raven and three other women had come into my room a few minutes after Roman left. I was still standing there looking like a frightened child when they walked in. They scrubbed, cleaned and shaved every part of my body. It was like I had dirt even where I didn't know there could be dirt. And they cleaned it because I felt squeaky clean after. I just sat there and let them do their thing because I couldn't even argue. The realization that I had fallen into a trap that I couldn't get out of was hitting me by the minute and I couldn’t form two words in my head to say to anyone. With the way I was being pushed and pulled, I could feel the baby bouncing inside me. The baby. One thing that troubled me even more than what was going on was the fact that whenever I referred to the baby, I always called her a she. Roman doesn't want a daughter. What was j going to do if the baby turned out to be a girl? He'd kill me. I was sure of it. “I’ll come back tomo

    EDEN I jolted awake some hours after. The clock in front of me read ten minutes past twelve. What to do? I ran to the window to check if the people I had seen earlier were still outside arranging things for the wedding but it was empty, they had all gone to bed. Everyone had gone to sleep. This was the perfect time to make my move. I was sure the guards were still outside my door so first, I had to go past them first. Roman thought he was punishing me when he forced that ring into my finger last night.“You had better make sure it's a boy. Or else, you die.” I nodded my head quickly.I'd always known the things I said would get me into trouble but I never thought that it'd be this soon. “The wedding is tomorrow. It would be in your best interest to shut your mouth and do as you're told. If you dare embarrass me…” I knew what he was going to say. I would die He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. He held up a ring with a moderately big diamond and threw i

    EDENI should have taken a flashlight or something that would bring light. Now that I was in the woods, I had to stretch out my arms so I wouldn't bump into a tree. The moonlight was bright but I had poor eyesight so I still needed extra help. The woods were very thick and dark and coupled with the fact that I was afraid of the dark, things weren't looking very good right now. But I couldn't stop for any reason. I had to keep walking as fast as I could because if anyone found out that I was no longer at the house, Roman would hear it in a heartbeat and he would send every guard he had after me. I made the mistake of not running away once, it wasn't going to happen again.I picked up my pace to avoid the chances of me being caught. I heard a twig snap behind me but when I turned around to check, there was no one there. All the more reason I had to pick up the pace. Everything in me had a feeling I was going to get caught but I tried to put that thought at the back of mind. It wa

    EDEN My feet were hurting so bad that I wanted to peel the skin off and hang them to rest. I'd been walking since I got out of Roman's pack last night and now, it was already late afternoon. They would probably have found out that I was missing since the wedding was supposed to take place early in the morning. I didn't even want to think about how furious Roman would be. He would probably be turning the entire pack upside down looking for me. Hopefully, those guards at the border don't say anything so it would buy me some time to get farther away. I hadn't eaten anything and my stomach was grumbling so bad that I could barley even walk again. The sun was very high in the sky, causing my journey to get even more uncomfortable. Earlier this morning, I'd puked the little contents that my stomach was trying to hold on to. Now, I was like a walking tank waiting to be filled. Hopefully, I'd come across a town real soon so that I'll be able to sell this damn ring and get somethin

    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
