Lucius povI wish I could claim I acted like a true King would. One who was capable of facing his inner demons and standing against any threat.But I didn’t. As Eden glared daggers at me, I quickly scanned the room and ran. My exit was followed with hyena-worthy laughter from my best friend and shouting from Eden. In true coward’s manner, I disappeared around the corner and pressed my back against the wall, attempting to flatten my body against it and stay there unnoticed. Of course, it all seemed reasonable until Xabat’s laughter echoed in my mind. “Man, we’re not that small, even in the human form. Get away from there, she will come after you.” The beast had a point. Hiding and pretending I didn’t exist wouldn’t last for long. Sooner or later, I would have to return to Eden. Besides, it wasn’t like I was capable of staying away from her for long anyway - every damn cell in my body pulled me closer to her. Finally, some luck shone upon me as a servant rounded the corner and walke
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-THREE
Eden povI was sure that I wouldn’t feel half as angry as I did if it weren’t for Lucius running away and Titus following him soon after. A couple of words from the servant girl were enough for me to understand why my mate had lost his cool and acted so aggressively. Funny as it was, the girl threw something at Titus as she chased after him and that had to have triggered Lucius’ protective instincts. However, instincts aside, I wasn’t all too happy about the fact that he was too angry to realize he had told everyone who he truly was. The whole pack now knew that the King himself had arrived and well, since everyone knew I was his mate… yeah… not cool. More people started gathering around us as I stood with the servant girl and tried to calm her down. It turned out that convincing someone that they weren’t in trouble was harder than it seemed. “I am terribly sorry,” I repeated myself. “He’s not acting like himself, I assure you, the reaction was nothing personal, he just has trigge
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-FOUR
Lucius povI had to be the shittiest best friend ever. Titus was in my arms, crying like his life was on the verge of distraction, and I had no idea how to console him. How to fucking make the pain and fear go away. Out of everyone I knew, Titus was the strongest and most trustworthy man ever, but he also was an absolute sofie at heart. Everyone wanted to meet their fated mate, but no one had wanted it as passionately as my best friend did. Even I was somewhat okay with the thought of never meeting mine. That changed after I met Eden, but that’s a different story. Titus, however, was desperate to meet his. Even as a little kid, Titus would run around and tell everyone how excited he was to meet his mate. Back then, he claimed that his mate would be the prettiest girl ever and when someone asked what he would do if it were a boy, even at that young age, Titus just grinned and announced that in that case, his boy mate would have the prettiest eyes and stunning smile.Titus didn’t kno

Lucius povJudging by the looks on their faces, I wasn’t nearly as good at hiding my emotions as I once thought I was. And now, the only thing I felt was pure disgust. It was a well-known fact that some men and women slept their way up the career ladder and ranks, but this. Well, this was low. A guard and Luna, who would have thought? I focused my attention on the scared guard and spoke as calmly as I could. “I didn’t come here to cause trouble, let’s get that straight. I came to check on the woman I sent here, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you meant by saying it was his idea. I promise no harm will come your way if you can be truthful.” The guard glanced at the very angry-looking friend. Clearly, the big-mouthed one wasn’t happy about his secret coming to light, but that was life and he had to deal with it. “You don’t have to tell him anything. As a member of this pack, you report only to Alpha and Luna or the only person who stands above them - the King,” th

Eden povAfter the odd revelations in the kitchen, I encouraged the rest of the women to finish up with their responsibilities and left as soon as the food was sent out to the dining room. I didn’t feel hungry. If anything, after hearing everything, I felt as confused as ever. All of those things came crashing down on me so suddenly, I didn’t have enough time to let the words sink in. As if I didn’t know that woman was no saint, now it turned out that she had more secrets than I thought. Whatever she had done - all of the things that were coming to light were done for a reason. I just couldn’t think of a reason good enough for such secrecy. My first instinct was to slip away and go to the bedroom. But then, I realized that I had nothing to hide, I wasn’t the one who had to disappear from the judgemental eyes for I hadn’t done anything. So, I decided to head to the backyard and check on the garden my step-mother once forced me to tend for. Once I left the packhouse and stepped ou

Lucius povI couldn’t stop smiling as I watched the horror flash in her eyes. As soon as the question left me, she understood what she had done, how much she had fucked up, and most importantly - I knew. I knew the extent of her doings. Some of those things still didn’t make much sense to me, but I was sure I could break her and get the confession out of her. Her eyes darted everywhere but at me as Luna stuttered, “I-I don’t k-know what you’re t-talking about.” A part of me wondered if she understood how dumb she looked right now. There was no point in playing dumb anymore. I had gathered enough proof against this woman to burn her like a witch she was, if I pleased to do so. And honestly, one thing was clear - she was about to die. Soon. But first, I had to think of the most creative and tortuous ways in which to kill her. Women like her didn’t deserve a quick and easy exit after all the vile things she had done. No, she lived like a true star, doing the most damage she could, s

Eden povMy head was pounding as I tried to blink my eyes open. My hands were tied behind my back and it appeared that I was sitting on a chair. I tried to move my legs, but my ankles were tied to the chair too. Instantly, I thought of why someone would go this far to keep me in place. There was no way I could break free. Honestly, I doubted my ability to escape imprisonment even if I wasn’t tied to a surface, but maybe whoever took me here doesn’t know I’m pretty much a human. The place was dark, I couldn’t even notice shapes or silhouettes. As my mind wandered to where I could possibly be, panic surged through me. Lucius. He had to have noticed I was gone and was most likely going crazy looking for me. No, I had to get out as soon as possible. I couldn’t let him think I left him. Gritting my teeth, I started pulling my hands up, hoping I could get out of the ropes. It was a feeble attempt if anyone was near and watched me, but I had to try. I almost managed to loosen the ropes

Eden pov Once they released me, both stood at my sides and helped me up. Then, they held me close as they led me out of the dark room and down the hall. I was right to assume they had brought me to a basement floor, because that was exactly where we were. As we walked up the stairs, they explained that I was taken by a group of hunters that had devoted their lives to saving humans that were stolen by the monsters. Holding back from laughing was getting harder with every step we took. The passion that laced their words made them sound like they were brainwashed for years to believe what they said. When we reached the main floor, I saw more humans running around, laughing and discussing things no outsiders should hear. For example, how they planned to attack a pack in a couple of hours or where some of the Alphas had gone. Those bits of information were supposed to be secret, but clearly, neither of them understood that. The real shock came when these two morons brought me to

Eden povI was beyond nervous as I tried to stop my hands from shaking while cutting up the vegetables. I hadn’t had enough time to figure out how to come clean with my family, but this really felt like the right time to do that. Lucius and Titus were probably already playing their guessing game about whatever they had done wrong and I wouldn’t disturb them doing that. Honestly, both of them have been acting like two hormonal teenagers these days, so they deserved a little adult worthy stress. As some of the kitchen ladies joined me and started up the usual conversations, I felt more at ease. However, every time when I glanced at the clock and saw the dinner time nearing, a new wave of unease surged through me. “Are you planning to prepare some desserts for little Magnus, my Queen?” Mayra asked, flashing me her usual bright smile. I hummed, thinking if sugar was a good idea right before bedtime. But then again, this dinner had to resemble sort of a joyful moment, so maybe it wou

§Three months after the wedding.§Titus povEden was officially ours and no one could do shit about it. Our journey had been nothing less than a deadly fucking rollercoaster ride, but the outcome was so worth it. Looking back at how things went, personally I went from thinking I wouldn’t find a mate, to finding one and being rejected, and finally, to finding out that my best friend and the woman I had grown extremely protective of were my own ‘it’. But best of all, I didn’t get only them. With them both came a family I didn’t dare to dream of and an awesome son. I didn’t tell Lucius and Eden, but if I had to choose, I would always choose Magnus. The little dude was awesome. At least sometimes he was.And now, while Eden and Lucius were busy running around the castle and fucking on top of every surface they could find, my little man Magnus and I were nearly done with building the most badass lego set ever. Well, we would be done with it ages ago if the little shit wouldn’t accuse m

Eden povThe next moment, Titus shoved me on the bed. Both my amazing mates, now husbands, didn’t return the favor they did when they were undressing me. Instead, they took off their clothes torturously slowly. Piece by piece, they dropped everything next to their feet and grinned at me like lunatics.Rolling my eyes, I groaned and turned to my side to mumble, “since you two are taking ages to undress, I might as well take a nap while you’re at it.” I knew I was playing with fire, but what was life without some spark in it? It didn’t take much time for both of them to grab my ankles and pull me to the end of the bed. Lucius instantly dropped to his knees and spread my legs. The moment his tongue ran between my folds, Titus’ lips captured mine in a passionate kiss. All of my moans were muffled and silenced by his tongue, tasing me and exploring every bit of my mouth. When Lucius slid his tongue lower, I bit Titus’ lip to break the kiss. “What?” He asked, breathless. “What is Luc

Eden povWith Richard and Magnus by my sides, I felt at ease. The door opened and the music started. As soon as we stepped on the beautiful white carpet laid down the aisle, Lucius and Titus turned their heads to look in our direction. The moment their eyes set on me, blinding smiles spread across their lips. I had never thought about my wedding day, but I never imagined that my husband-to-be would cry seeing me. In reality, I had two men who were ready to die for me, and both had tears in their eyes. As I slowly walked down the aisle, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from them. Both were wearing perfectly tailored suits, a rose in their pockets. And best of all, they were holding each other’s hand. When I finally reached them, Richard squeezed my hand, whispered, “I’m so proud of you,” and then held my wrist to offer my hand to Lucius. Magnus did the same, but he whispered that I looked beautiful and he would punch his dad’s asses if they hurt me. Richard and Magnus took their assi
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon HUNDRED THIRTY-TWO
Eden pov A week had passed since we returned home, like one, united family, better than ever. Lucius made it his life goal to ensure that my old pack had everything under control. As it turned out, the old Alpha was a liar, not a man of honor. He faked his disease to get rid of the responsibilities of leading a pack and while everyone worried about his health, the old Alpha lived a life of luxury. That, of course, was sponsored by the wealth left to me by my mother as well. Recently, the new Alpha and his Luna found out that the pack was nowhere near struggling financially even without my money. They had loads of cash hidden all over the place and multiple incoming money streams. We all agreed that it had to be the plan of the old Alpha and my step-mother. They had to have been planning to save up as much as they could, bleed the pack dry and take off. But as for us, our life was great. My mates were better than ever, Richard took it upon himself to bond with our son and b

Eden pov This was one of those moments when I really needed Kanox. I needed his advice or at least to hear his voice. While I had no idea what I was supposed to do, he would definitely have the answer. My eyes focused on the sick creature, wearing someone’s else’s skin as if that was no big deal. He looked human, but didn’t smell like one. Honestly, if he were to walk among other humans, I had little to no hope that anyone around him would understand that he was a sick, sinister creature, not one of their own. When he stepped so close I could smell a hint of sulfur on him, I realized he wasn’t just another supernatural. This was the first time I caught on the smell as well. “Will you first tell me the full story about my parents?” Clearly, he saw through me. I wanted to know, yes, but I also was using the question to stall, to win some time for my mates. “Of course, anything for you,” it said, grinning. I gulped, growing more nervous with every second that passed, but

Titus povI had no idea how Lucius felt about this, but what I found extremely fascinating was how the old man spoke about Eden. He sounded amazed and scared shitless at the same time. Sure, I wasn’t the best person to judge one’s character without massive amounts of information, but I could have sworn that he was just as clueless about what this ‘special’ trait was as we were. “And?” Lucius broke the silence, urging the old man to tell us more. The grunt that left him clearly was a proof of his unwillingness to tell us more, not that Lucius cared anyway. “Richard, we are done playing games. It is our mate you are talking about, Titus and I deserve to know what’s so special about Eden and exactly why that creature is after her.” My eyes darted between them two as I imagined an intense tennis match. The ball went from one side of the court to the other, never reaching the ground or the white lines surrounding them. At this rate, this imaginary match could go on for ages. “There a

Lucius pov“Where?” I growled the word as I stomped to him, grabbed his throat and squeezed it until I cut off his air supply. I trusted this fool. I trusted him with the safety of my mate and this is how it came out? He ran like a bloody coward while our mate was taken by some mad lunatic and brought Goddess knew where? Richard’s hands grabbed mine as he struggled to get out of my hold, but I had none of it. Whatever would happen next was out of my control - this time, I would allow Xabat take the fucking thing he loved almost as much as he loved our mates. Richard’s spine. Titus rushed to my side and carefully placed his hand on my shoulder. “Xabat, babe, let him go. Trust me, we need him alive. It wasn’t his fault. Don’t make this harder than it already is. Listen to what the old man has to say, maybe he has ideas where that fuckhead took Eden. We need the old man.” Honestly, I wouldn’t have released Richard. Ever. He had to pay for his carelessness and lack of attempts to save
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT
Eden povMy eyebrows furrowed in confusion. I understood that this thing was on some weird quest because of my late mother, but why was her blood so damn important? While I was busy trying to figure it out, the creature snapped his fingers and suddenly, my eyes opened with ease. The weight was gone and nothing held me down, except for the restraints on my legs. “See, it wasn't so hard, was it?” It mocked me.My eyes scanned the dark room until they set on the black blob of nothingness in the furthest corner. I might be freaking dreaming because I could have sworn the thing was grinning at me. It had no mouth, no eyes, no limbs - nothing. And yet, I could feel his eyes on me and see the non-existent grin across the lips. “Do not worry, my lovely. I shall help you see me in a better light soon. You see, I have brought a friend with me. Trust me, you’ll love him. I chose him to fit your liking. I told you that I’ve been watching, haven’t I?” With that being said, the thing disappear
