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
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-FIVE
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: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-SIX
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
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-SEVEN
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: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-EIGHT
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: The Daughter of the Moon SEVENTY-NINE
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: The Daughter of the Moon EIGHTY
Lucius povAfter I left Eden’s step-mother behind, I sought out the guards and explained what they were to do from now on. I promised to return at random moments to ensure she was suffering in the cell, and made it a point to stress how much I enjoyed it when people decided to test my patience. Now that this was off my shoulders, I was ready to face Eden and suffer the consequences of my previous outburst. I was sure she had spent this time apart boiling in anger and had more than plenty things in her mind to punish me. I, for one, the smitten fool I was, hoped she could let me off the hook this once if I managed to pull off kissy faces. How did one make those? I wanted to practice those, perhaps even in front of a mirror, but I couldn’t let anyone catch me doing that. The King himself, making kissy faces in front of a mirror. Wasn’t that ridiculous? As I walked down the long hall, I decided to check the kitchen first. Knowing my mate, she could have tried to distract herself from
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon EIGHTY-ONE
Titus povI wanted to pity myself. I really did. But I couldn’t. The conversation with Eden reminded me of so many things, of how emotionless and clueless I was when I first approached her, I understood the strength of that girl. Maybe it was foolish of me or I had completely lost my goddamn mind, but as soon as I left her behind, I went to look for my mate. I knew he didn’t want to see me, but he would have to - for the last time.I stormed through the packhouse, following the scent I had grown to love and hate until I reached a door and stopped in front of it. I took a few deeper breaths, relishing the scent that was about to become just a memory within a few minutes. “A few words, Titus, just a few words and your soul is free. Give him what he wants, he deserves it,” I muttered to myself. I had never been the best person when it came to encouraging someone, but clearly my words had helped Eden when she was at her rock bottom, so they had to help me too. Gathering the shattered
