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
Seconds turned to minutes and minutes to hours Eden's mind was not at ease so she caught the exact moment the safe house door creaked open, revealing a gruesome sight that made Eden's heart drop. The walls and floors of the pack were covered in dead bodies and blood. She clutched her dress as she stepped out, her eyes darting around the chaotic scene in front of her.People were being helped onto stretchers, some injured and others in shock. A joyous occasion turned brutal in the blink of an eye. Eden's first thought was to find Kylian. She hoped and prayed that he was still alive. As she walked, she watched the people around her, trying to spot any sign of her mate. And then, she saw him. Kylian was being helped by a pack member, his face bruised and his leg injured. Eden rushed to his side, tears streaming down her face as she hugged him tightly. Kylian hugged her back, his lips pressing against her forehead, her cheeks, and everywhere in between. "I missed you so much," he whisp
Eden couldn't sit still. She felt like she had ants crawling under her skin, and the only way to relieve the restlessness was to keep moving. So, she had taken it upon herself to clean the pack house, from top to bottom. It was a daunting task, but she needed to do something to keep herself occupied while she waited for news about Flinn.It had been two days since the attack on the pack, and Flinn was nowhere to be found. Eden had ordered for the hospitals and morgues to be searched, but there was no sign of him. She couldn't shake the feeling of dread that settled in her chest every time she thought about him.As she scrubbed the floors of the pack house, her mind kept drifting to Flinn. Was he alive? Was he hurt? Had he been captured by the enemy? She didn't know, and the uncertainty was eating away at her.Finally, she couldn't take it anymore. She had to do something. She sent a guard to find Naim he found her house then reported where she lived.Eden went to her house immediately
Naim hesitated for a moment, her fingers tapping nervously on the desk. "I don't know how to say this, but... I think there's something fishy going on with the pack doctor." She paused, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I've taken samples of Kylian's blood, and I can't find the source of his illness. It's like... it's like it came out of nowhere."Eden frowned, concern etched on her face. "That's not good. But sometimes rare diseases don't have a clear source."Naim shook her head vehemently. "No, even the rarest of diseases have a source. And you know what else I found in his blood? A lot of slynx.""Slynx?" Eden repeated, confused."Yeah, you know, the chemical that induces sleep. I mean, I know we've been giving him medication to help him rest, but this is way beyond what's necessary. And I can't figure out where it's coming from." Naim's voice was tight with frustration.Eden's mind raced as she tried to process the information. Something was definitely not right, and they
"No she's not going anywhere" Kylian objected."No Kylian I have to" Eden stopped him, she could get information about Maya from Elder Marcus."Make sure nothing happens to her or you will be killed" Kylian threatened and Lucas nodded as a warm hug and kiss Eden followed Lucas.Her heart was pounding as she passed through the winding forest trails that led to the Firemoon pack. She couldn't believe the place she had called home a long time ago was now scaring her.As they walked, Eden couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt about leaving Kylian behind his support would have been appreciated but Kylian had his own pack to take care of.Lucas must have sensed her unease, because he reached out and took her hand in his. "Don't worry, Eden," he said. "I won't let anything happen to you."She gave him a grateful smile and squeezed his hand. "Thank you, Lucas."As they approached the pack, Eden's nerves began to escalate. She could hear the sound of howling in the distance, and the scent o
