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
Maya rushed quickly to their house, a million thoughts running through her mind. She really hoped Lucian was safe. On getting there, she was relieved as the whole house seemed to be locked. She walked gently towards the house, looking suspiciously, hoping they weren't together in a way she didn't want. Moving closer, she placed a knock but there was no response. Her heart skipped a bit. What was going on?Then, it dawned on her. Since she was not the Alpha, she would no longer be living there. They would have been moved to the royal home. She was upset and irritated. She felt a little betrayed.Why hadn't Lucian called her to inform her of the new development? Why had he not called her to tell her of their plan? Why had he not told her of their latest development? She was upset but she knew she had to be calm. What if something had really happened to him? She discarded the thought quickly sd she hoped he would be fine. Maya hurriedly headed to the royal house quickly. She knew Lu
Maya was taken aback as she saw the lifeless body of her lover. Now, it was all over. Their plans were ruined. She was in trouble! Who had done this to her?It was all Eden's fault, she thought. Whoever could have hurt them could have done that only because of Eden. She was the Alpha hence she would be getting a lot of enemies.It was no news that he was her lover and support so whoever was doing it could obviously be doing it simply because they believe without him, she would not be able to carry out her functions and duties well.Anger welled up in Maya as she picked up the knife and stormed out in anger, in search of her. Her mind was made up. She was going to soil herself in Eden's blood and then end her own life. That would be the only way she would feel satisfied. Searching the whole house, her effort to find Eden was in vain. She them stormed out in anger as she was determined to kill the guards instead. She was going to take revenge and going to kill them for allowing such
Just as the door flung open, Eden was brought out as a grin was plastered on their faces. They picked her up and stared at the hand. Lucian looked at them, happy that they were actually trying to do something. They drew her out and locked back the door, leaving him all alone.He was still tensed as they did not know what they were going to do. He struggled to get up but it was impossible. There was no way they could get up. He was quite scared and hoped they would treat her well. He sat still on the spot wondering what to do. He had a lot of thoughts running through his mind. He hoped everything he would do. As soon as he walked her out, a smile formed on his face. Things were indeed going as planned. Few minutes after, Eden was brought back in with her hands already tied. She had been treated. She sighed as she was relieved that everything was fine. “Are you fine?” He questioned, looking at the wound that had been tied. “Of course” She nodded as she looked at him watch her wounds
Lucian and Eden looked up at the sound of the voice. They had been engulfed in each other’s arms that they had not realized when someone had come there. They hurriedly disentangled themselves from each other’s grip. They seemed so shock. Anger and rage was an understatement of how they felt that very minute. The last thing they had expected was to see her there. How had she come there so quickly? “Maya. You…….” Eden started as her friend looked at her,, shocked. Eden looked at herself over and over again. She could not understand why her friend was staring at her like that. Had something happened to her? Lucian rolled his eyes as he knew he was going to have to give explanations of what had happened. It got her really upset but she knew she had to pretend like she was fine with it. “Hey Eden!” Maya hurriedly ran to her friend and encaged her in her arms, embracing her tightly. “I had gotten worried when I did not see you!” She started as she released Eden from her grip. Eden smiled
Lucian did not believe a word out of Maya’s mouth. He still did not believe her. He knew there was something fishy about her actions. How had she known what was going on? How had she known Eden had been attacked? How exactly did she know where they could be? A million questions ran through his mind yet he could not answer them all as he was so upset.What was she playing at? Was she trying to stab him in the back?He could not help but think about everything that had happened. There was a part of the story he was not seeing. He was really worried as he did not know what to do.“Lucian!” Eden called him, drawing him back to reality. He had been lost in thoughts that he did not know when she called him about three times. “What is the matter? What are you thinking about?” Eden questioned, looking at him, her eyebrows raised. He looked at Maya’s face and she also looked at him, surprised. What was he thinking of that had taken his attention that much?“Nothing. I.. I….” He tried to expla
