Eden had lost track of time in the dark, damp dungeon. The conditions had been unbearable, and she had no idea how long she had been down there. When the door creaked open, she was blinded by the sudden influx of light. She shielded her eyes, waiting for her eyes to adjust."Come on," Diana said, extending her hand to help Eden up. "Let's get you out of here."Eden looked at her, her eyes full of suspicion. "Why are you doing this?"Diana sighed. "Look, I know things have been rough between us, but I don't want to see you suffer like this. I have been ordered to release you and make sure you leave the pack. Kylian thinks it's for the best."Eden shook her head, her eyes narrowing. "I'm not leaving. I have unfinished business here." Eden said knowing she was lying there was no way Kylian would say that.Diana looked irritated. "What business could you possibly have here? The pack doesn't want you. Kylian doesn't want you. You're only going to cause trouble."Eden's eyes flashed with an
Eden trudged through the dimly lit hallway, her feet dragging with each step. She couldn't believe she had let Diana manipulate her so easily. But she had no choice, not when Kylian's life was on the line.The servant quarters were a far cry from the luxurious chambers she was accustomed to. The walls were bare, the floorboards creaked with every step, and the air was thick with dust. Eden couldn't help but think it was almost like a dungeon, albeit without the sickly-sweet scent of blood.She shuffled along until she found a small, empty room to occupy. It was nothing like the grand bedroom she had previously called home, but it would have to do for now. Eden sighed and ran her fingers over the dust-covered surfaces, feeling a pang of sadness in her chest. She had lost everything, all because of Diana's wicked machinations.As she tried to settle in, the door to her room flung open, and a woman with a smug look on her face marched in. "You must be the new servant," the woman said, ey
Eden's heart was racing as she saw Kylian standing in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes. He 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 been...just trying to survive."Kylian's face fell as he heard her words. "I've been looking for you," he said, his voice full of pain. "I was worried about you, you didn't bother to see ho
Eden was abruptly awoken by a loud bang that shook the walls of her small servant quarters. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, feeling exhausted from the long day of work she had yesterday. She slowly got up from her bed and stumbled towards the door, rubbing her eyes to try and adjust to the bright light that flooded in.As she opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of Diana, standing in front of her with a stern expression on her face an amazing way to ruin her day. Eden was shocked to see her there, as it was still very early in the morning and she had never seen Diana in the servant quarters before."Diana, what's going on?" Eden asked, still trying to shake off the grogginess of sleep. Diana had already put her through alot she didn't want more.Diana didn't mince her words. "You didn't do a good job cleaning the pack house yesterday, and Kylian will be having a party tonight to celebrate his recovery. I'm assigning you to do the preparations and decorating for the party."E
Eden let out a sigh of relief as she finally sat down on the bed in the servant's quarters. Her limbs were aching, her back sore, and her body exhausted from a day's worth of work. She couldn't believe how hard it was to work as a servant, especially since she was used to a life of luxury as a noblewoman. But despite the physical strain, she was grateful for the small break. She had a moment to herself to relax and unwind before taking a bath. She couldn't wait to soak in the warm water and let her muscles relax. As she looked around the small room, she noticed the rags that had been left for her to wear. She couldn't believe that she was reduced to wearing such clothes, but she knew that it was necessary for her disguise.Did Kylian know she was a slave or he didn't just care? No she won't think about him she stood up then went to bathe. After taking a refreshing bath, Eden changed into the rags and was about to continue with her work when she heard a knock at the door. It was Flin
Eden ran through the halls of the pack house tears streaming down her face. She could feel her heart breaking with every step she took. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Finally, Eden made it to her small servant's room. She flung the door open and collapsed on the bed, burying her face in the pillow. She cried and cried, feeling like her world was falling apart.It felt like hours passed as she lay there, tears soaking the pillow beneath her head. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. Bang!Bang!!There was a knock at the door. Eden didn't move, didn't even acknowledge the sound who ever it was should just go away she didn't want to deal with anyone now.Bang bang!"Go...go away!" She croaked between sobs hoping whoever it was got the message.But the knocking persisted until she finally got up from the bed and shuffled to the door irritated.She opened it slowly, still sniffling from her tears. It was Diana standing there with a smug look on her face.Eden f
Kylian lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling, feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. The door creaked open, and Diana ran into the room, throwing her arms around him. Kylian stiffened, pushing her away gently. "Diana, relax. I need rest," he said, his voice strained.But she refused to leave, saying they should spend some time together since they would soon be united. Kylian shook his head, feeling the anger rising within him. He couldn't bear to be around her right now, not after what had happened."Diana, I said leave," he growled, his eyes blazing with fury. But she still refused to budge, her eyes pleading with him to reconsider.Kylian sighed, running his hand through his hair. He couldn't believe he was doing this. Diana sensed his hesitation and moved closer to him, her eyes softening. "Please Kylian, don't be like this. We need each other right now," she said, her voice low and gentle.But Kylian shook his head again, feeling a lump forming in his throat. He co
Eden took a deep breath and smoothed down her dress. She had always known that leaving the pack would be difficult, but she hadn't realized just how hard it would be until this moment. From her room she could hear the sounds of the guests arriving and the music starting. She tried to block out the noise and focus on her plan. She just needed to get out of the pack territory and start a new life somewhere else. But as she reached the front door, she was stopped by Diana. "Where do you think you're going?""I'm done Diana you should be getting ready for your wedding not looking for trouble" Eden said rolling her eyes."A little birdy said you were planning to escape you're not going anywhere," Diana said, chuckling. "You're going to watch the events unfold.""I thought you wanted me to leave the pack now I am doing so abd I don't need your permission" Eden said trying to walk past her but Diana gripped her."I changed my mind I want to see your face when I get married to Kylian" she s
