Shock was an understatement of how Maya felt. Her face transformed into a ball of frown. She was so upset and walked out immediately. Eden loosened herself from Lucian's grip as she wondered what had gone wrong. What was wrong with her friend? Lucian shook his head what he had gotten himself into. He knew how much he would have to convince Maya that it was not what she was thinking. “Excuse me” Eden said and tried to run after Maya but Lucian was quick to hild her again. “Be calm” He looked her straight in the eyes. Maya was just being selfish and he knew that. She had initiated the whole plan. Why then was she acting that way? “My friend… Maya, she……” Eden tried to talk but no word came out of her mouth. She stuttered as she was worried. “Nothing is wrong. Be calm.i will go after her instead. Right now, you do not need to stress yourself, okay?”Eden nodded and silently prayed for Maya to listen to Lucian. She just did not realize why Maya was so angry. She stormed out of anger
Lucian walked back in. His facial expression was bland. As soon as he walked in, Eden raised her head quickly, hoping to hear a positive result. She looked up at him, waiting for a befitting response but he kept mute as he walked towards her. Eden constantly looked at the door hoping it would open but to her uttermost dismay, the door didn’t open. She wanted to walk even further as she believed Lucian was not able to convince her. Lucian was quick to hold her back. Eden tried to release herself from his grip but she could not. He was holding her tightly. She tried to break herself free from him again but he was not willing to let her go. Just then, the door flung open. Eden gasped as she had not expected what she saw. She looked at Lucian and he smiled at her. She smiled back at him as she embraced him again. She was so happy that she didn’t even think straight of what had just happened. Trying so hard, Maya hid her anger. Maya had walked in with a smile on her face. She crossed h
A pleasing smile formed on Maya's face as she turned to look at Eden. Maya hurriedly walked towards Eden to grab her like she was going to fall down. She looked so weak and pale. Lucian sighed in relief as he turned his back to them. If Maya had walked in a minute earlier, she would have seem them both and it would have been so terrible. “Are you fine?” Maya questioned, stretching her hand to Eden as an aid. Eden sighed as she was exhausted. All she wanted to do was go home and rest that very minute. The day's activity had taken it’s all on her. She really missed her parents. Right in the middle of the darkness, Lucian's gaze landed on a piercing eyes that was looking at him. The owner of the eyes had the face covered as well as every other part of the body. Only the eyes were bare. He tried to check who it was but the thick darkness kept it away from him. “Who are you?” He questioned, immediately becoming oblivious to whatever was happening with Maya and Eden. Just as he was abou
“Would she be fine?” Worry spread itself widely on Lucian’s face. He could not affoeds anything happening to Eden. Not even at that time.“Yes, she will be fine” The Physician smiled at him. He had not ben able to get a physician. He had journeyed for a distance before he was able to get the royal physician. “What is the matter with her? What happened to her? Is she sick? Does she need a serious medical care? Is she…”“Be calm” The physician smiled as he saw th4e look of worry on Lucian’s face. Well…… he was quite scared and hoped she would not die. She was his friend after all.“She was just stressed and nothing more. She had been thinking so much and I guess it weakened her entire body hence making her very sick. She would be fine” The royal physician explained. Lucian heaved a sigh of relief. He had lost his mind when he thought she was going to die. His whole system had taken another form, not just for their gain but she being his friend as well. “All she needs is quality rest
Lucian looked around as he thought so hard about what to do. Just then, he sighted a piece of a garment in a corner of the room. He knew how important it was so he thought he could put it to good use. He grabbed the garment and tied it to a corner of the window. He was not so sure if it would work but he had to take the risk. He hurriedly tied the rope and then, carried her. He tapped her lightly. She struggled to stay awake but then, he helped her lower herself. As soon as he had placed her down, he hurriedly climbed the rope together with her and jumped off quickly. Just as he placed his leg on the bare floor outside the window, he heard the door flung open. They had finally been able to open the door. He knew they had to escape as soon as possible to avoid being caught. Eden still felt quite sleepy as she still hadn’t recovered fully. He carried her on the bus back and then, began to run sway with her. He had to save their lives. Hers most especially. He could not understand wh
Lucian was shocked to say the least and so was Eden. Was he really going to kill them? Just like that when they had done nothing? He should have at least told them that they had done wrong. “Who sent you?” Eden questioned, looking unperturbed. “Who asked you to go after our lives?” She questioned again like she wanted to be sure they heard her right. The trios stared at each other and let out a loud laughter. She felt a bit embarrassed by their actions but she was not going to let it get to her. She really wanted to know why they had come after them.“Dear Alpha, why are you so concerned about why we want to take your life?” One of them asked mockingly and the others began to laugh. It wasn’t funny so she could not see why they were laughing. “Why? What would you do if you know? Go after who sent us? Or try to attack them when you are gone? Or perhaps, your ghost would begin to hunt them?” Another added, making them all burst into another bout of laughter. It wasn’t funny. She coul
Okay, now, she could not understand what the pretense about? It was just two of them so he needed to not pretend to her like he cared. She knows he doesn’t. She turned to the other side, looking easy from him. She wished it was true. She wished all he was saying was genuine but she would inky make a fool of herself if she believes it. She would only be preparing herself to be heartbroken. Tears had began to form in her eyes. “What is the matter? Are you okay?” Lucian questioned, watching her turn to the other side. He was surprised at her reaction. He knew there was more to her action but he kept mute. “I am fine” She sighed, still looking easy from him. She really wished the feeling was mutual and not one sided. She however decided to be strong. All she wanted to do was get out of the mess that she was in and then begin to think of a way to figure out her life. She didn’t want to weighing herself down with thought. “I will find a way…” He started. “I will find a way to get us out
"I have to leave now" Maya yanked her mother's hands off her shoulders and ran out quickly. She needed to leave as soon as possible. Deep within, she prayed nothing happened to Lucian. Well…. Eden should also be okay till they get what they finally want. Lucian opened his eyes slowly as he felt shaken. No, not by hands but by…. The tiny ray of sun piercing through a corner to his eyes, wait.. What was going on?He opened his eyes wide to behold where he was. The sounds of horses trodding the floor continued to penetrate his hearings. Then it dawn on him.They were in a cage. A cage with iron bars in which each of the bars only had small distance between them.Where were they and where were they taking them to? Eden still had not opened her eyes. She still looked so weak and pale and their hands were still tied. "Eden" He called softly, looking around the environment even though he could not catch a clear glimpse of the environment. No where seemed familiar at all. "Eden" He call
Eden's day started early, as usual, taking care of her five precious babies. It was a daunting task to manage five babies all at once, but she had developed a system that worked. Eden loved her babies with all her heart, and she took care of them with the utmost care and attention. She fed them, changed their diapers, and played with them until they fell asleep. As she was putting the youngest baby down for a nap, Lucas, her brother, walked into the room. "Hey, sis," he said, smiling from ear to ear. "How are my favorite nieces and nephews doing?" "They're doing just fine," Eden replied, turning to face him. "I'm just putting the youngest one down for a nap." Lucas beamed with pride. "You're doing an amazing job taking care of them, Eden. You should be proud of yourself." Eden smiled, feeling grateful for her brother's kind words. "Thank you, Lucas. I appreciate it." Lucas then looked at his sister and said, "Why don't you go get ready for the wedding? I'm sure the others are wait
Kylian and Eden had been living a very peaceful life in their pack since the time Diana and the rogues were defeated. The pack had been prospering and thriving, with less troubles and conflicts. The couple had worked together to maintain peace and harmony within their pack, and their efforts had paid off. Eden had managed to let Lucas become the Alpha of her own pack while she remained in Kylian's pack, and the two packs had formed a close alliance. The alliance had allowed them to share resources and support each other during difficult times. The two Alphas worked together to ensure that their packs remained safe and prosperous. Occasionally, they were visited by Naim she was skilled healer who had helped them during their battle against the enemy. She came to help with the treatment of pack diseases and other medical issues. Naim had become a close friend of Kylian and Eden, and they valued her expertise and friendship. The couple had also welcomed new members into their pack, inc
Kylian's guards dragged the rogue king, who was in chains, along with them. Eden spoke up, "We understand that the council is having a meeting, but it is urgent that we speak with them." The guards exchanged a look but ultimately gave way, allowing Eden and Kylian to enter. The room was packed with the council of elders, all of whom turned to face the intruders as they entered.Eden and Kylian dragged the rogue king in chains, his face twisted with anger as they burst into the meeting room of the elders. The room fell silent as they entered, and one of the elders stood up, his face stern as he addressed them. "What is the meaning of this?" he demanded. "You know the consequences for taking matters into your own hands.""Eden how?" One other said the silence in the room withered as they began to question at once. "I apologize for this interruption" Eden stepped forward, her grip tight on the rogue king's chains. "I know, elder, but this is important. The rogue king has something to s
"I love you Kylian" Eden had never been so sure of anything."I love you too Eden" Kylian said then kissed her passionately."We should go tell Naim" Eden said pulling away."Eden you don't have to do that now" Kylian said giving her hand a little squeeze."But yes I have to if we want our child to live a peaceful life we have to get rid of the problems"Kylian sighed, "I'll go call the doctor" He said then left returning back with the doctor.He did a check up on Eden told her to come in for visits to check on her baby and then he discharged her.Her heart was heavy as she walked out of the hospital with Kylian supporting her she breath in deeply these past few days had been a whirlwind of emotions, and she was physically and emotionally drained. She couldn't believe that Flinn was gone, the person who had saved her life multiple times, he had been the one to make her smile back at the village."We'll go to Naim's hut" Eden said and Kylian nodded."I'll be with you every step of the
"Eden!" Kylian yelled scanning the crowd looking for her.Kylian's heart sank as he saw Eden's lifeless body lying on the ground, blood oozing out of her wounds. He fell on his knees beside her. "Eden" He yelled out holding her hands he couldn't feel a pulse."Eden please" Kylian cried his tears streaming down his face as he held her in his arms. He couldn't believe that the love of his life, the one he had promised to protect with his life, was slipping away from him. "Ugh" she coughed out but her eyes were still shut."Eden" he held her face he knew he had to act fast, and without a second thought, he picked up her body and morphed into his wolf form. As he ran through the forest with Eden in his jaws, he could feel her life force slipping away. He howled in desperation, begging the spirits of the forest to spare her life. He had never felt so helpless in his life, and he knew that if he lost her, he would never be able to forgive himself. When he finally arrived at the pack hos
"Why do you care so much about him" Flinn asked his anger resurfacing."What does he have that I don't!" Flinn demanded."He's my mate Flinn what don't you understand"Yelling at him was useless Eddn looked back at Kylian her heart was pounding in her chest as he laid on the grass motionless.She approached him her eyes scanning him up and down for any signs of injury. "Kylian, are you alright?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Kylian smiled weakly at her. "I'm fine, Eden. Flinn didn't do too much damage." His face was bruised and there was a cut on his lip, but Eden could tell that he was trying to play it off as nothing. Flinn stepped forward, dragging Eden away from Kylian. "Stay away from him Eden," he growled. "I won't let him live" Eden's heart sank as she realized that Flinn had no intention of letting Kylian go. "Why are you doing this, Flinn?" she asked, her voice shaking with fear and anger. "What did Kylian ever do to you?" Flinn's eyes blazed with fury. "It'
Eden woke up with a throbbing head she searched her environments and found herself confinded in ropes.She struggled against the ropes till she was released her memories where still cloudy.Eden's heart was racing as she saw Kylian standing in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes. looked different from the last time she had seen him. He was thinner, and his face had a rugged look to it he was recovering from the illness, Eden didn't know how to react, and before she could say anything, Kylian spoke."Eden what are you doing here? You were locked up for-," Kylian said, his voice shaking with emotion. "How did you get out? Are you okay?"Eden took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. She knew she couldn't tell him the truth. She couldn't tell him that she was now a maid and was working for Diana. Eden had to come up with something else to say."I...I don't know how I got out," Eden said, her voice barely above a whisper. "They just came and told me I was free to go. I've be
Eden had been feeling off ever since Flinn had started giving her the cold shoulder. She couldn't understand why he was acting this way towards her. He just appeared from nowhere after the attack she was worried.Did she do anything to offend him? She had searched every where yet she couldn't find him things had been hectic lately it was messing with her mental health."You okay?" Kylian asked rubbing her shoulders, Eden leaned into him with a sigh."It's Flinn" she said "Relax we're just friends" She said noticing his hold on her tightened.Kylian gave a sigh they hadn't spoken about Flinn or Diana it was a thing of the past now."What about Flinn?" Kylian finally uttered."He's been acting weird since he appeared" Eden manage to say."Weird how?" Kylian urged."I don't know how to explain it" She replied, she didn't know much about Flinn but something was wrong."I think you should relax, you're just overthinking it Flinn had been through alot so it's normal for him to be different
"Eden!" She heard Kylian yell she got out of her hiding spot then found Kylian. Eden wiped the sweat from her forehead and took a deep breath. She looked over at Kylian, who was watching her with a proud smile on his face. "You did a good job," he said, and she beamed up at him, feeling a sense of satisfaction wash over her. "Where is the rogue king?" Eden asked. "We didn't see him at least we have the rogues" Kylian said. They each grabbed one of the rogues and started dragging them back to the pack. The captives struggled and fought, but they were no match for the two skilled warriors. When they arrived at the pack, they were met with a crowd of curious onlookers. Kylian stepped forward, holding his captive in a tight grip. "These rogues have been attacking our pack," he announced. "They will be punished until they confess everything they know about their alliance with the rogue king." The crowd murmured in agreement as the captives were led away to be interrogated. Eden and Ky
