Eden povWhat? No, that couldn’t possibly be happening. Richard was lying, trying to trick me into doing what he had planned. He had to have alternate intentions. No matter what his reasons were for such vile actions, I couldn’t believe that Lucius was dying. The vicious King, the monster in the shadows, the unseen creature - he couldn’t be dying. Would the Moon Goddess be so vile and keep torturing me? It really didn’t matter that I was confused or how I felt about the man - he claimed he was my mate. I couldn’t believe that I already lost one because of his selfish nature and now, I was about to lose the man who cared? I wouldn’t allow that to happen. No. While I was stuck in my thoughts, Richard managed to break the lock and open the cell door. A victorious smile spread across his lips, and while he thought he had done something impressive, I thought the same, but for different reasons. As soon as I saw the chance, I brushed past him and ran toward the staircase. Richard, th

Titus povBy the time I finally got back to the castle, Lucius was already taken by the doctors and none of them were willing to give me any details about him. The thing was that I knew I was unreasonably harsh to Eden, but I couldn’t stop the hatred that kept on growing within me. Especially when the nurses claimed that now that the King had found his mate, she was the one who was entitled for information, not me. All these years, whenever something happened to my best friend, they told me. But now, I had to seek out the human to get the freaking information. Instead of heading to the cells and getting her here, I collapsed on the chair and waited. It was for the best. If she were to be here, I would lash out on her and Lucius definitely wouldn’t appreciate that. However, my bubble popped when she appeared out of nowhere. Who the fuck let her out? I gritted my teeth as I watched her approach me. I was about to open my mouth and shout at her, but Eden had to have seen it coming,
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-FOUR
Lucius povI woke from shouting on the other side of the door. Xabat was still present, but thankfully, I wasn’t him anymore. Just my usual, human self. He was quick to explain what had happened and how silver took me out. Apparently, I was in the hospital and the doctors had done a trick on us to ensure I lived. As childish as it sounded, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to anymore. Yes, I knew my thoughts sounded like a temper tantrum of a toddler, but soon after I found my mate and realized we had no future together, I didn’t know if I could be the same after she left. My thoughts nearly took over, at least until the voices became louder. Even in this messed up state, I could tell it was Eden and Titus, discussing something. Both of them sounded angry, but I couldn’t think of a thing they could disagree on. Slowly, I sat up in the bed and tossed my legs over the edge. I felt like my body wasn’t my own anymore, but that didn’t hold me back from pushing and getting to my feet. My knees

Eden povOkay, maybe I didn’t fully think about how to deal with the situation when I volunteered to look after Lucius. I had a feeling he had heard some things from the argument I had with Titus, but the coldness from him was enough proof for me to realize he had heard more than just a few things. Titus was nowhere to be found and by the time I got to the bedroom, Lucius was already there. At first, I tried to talk him into getting some rest, but all he did was stand at the bedroom window. That was how our first evening of his bed rest pretty much went by. Lucius refused to look at me or engage into conversations, no matter how hard I tried to talk. If I heard his voice, it happened only when I asked if he was hungry or thirsty. Then, as the night came, once again, I tried to talk him into getting in the bed. Same answer - he wasn’t tired, but I should sleep. I sat on the bed and asked if he could promise to sleep, and the answer was rather sharp. ‘Yes, on the couch’ were the w
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-SIX
Lucius povI needed a moment to think. A moment away from her alluring scent and that face I couldn’t get enough of. A moment without her in my personal space. While Eden was more than I had ever hoped for, she also overwhelmed and confused me. All my life I had to be sure of every step I took because so many supernaturals depended on me, but now, I feared my own thoughts. Any moment I could say something to hurt her, do something wrong, and while I was almost sure that I had given up, I started the way of checking out, I still doubted my ability to be near. Hence why the moment I found her sleeping next to the bedroom door, I carried her inside and left her in the bed. Everything within me screamed to lay next to her and use the chance to hold her just this once. But I didn’t. I had done that once and her reaction was all sorts of wrong. I didn’t want to take away her basic right to give consent, so instead, I spent the night in my office. The night was awful. I couldn’t sleep a
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-SEVEN
Eden povI did it. I kissed Lucius. I kissed the King. My heart hammered in my chest, my hands trembled and fear surged through me. But oddly enough, none of those things happened because of the quick kiss. The reaction I had was because of his state, not the thing I did. Honestly, I had no idea why I did it, but it felt like the right thing to do. Just as I was about to pull away, Lucius placed his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me back in. His lips rested against mine for a brief moment, and then, he kissed me. His kiss was anything but the pathetic peck I gave him. His lips moved against mine with actual passion. Lucius didn’t try to thrust his tongue into my mouth like I had seen other men do, no. The kiss was as demanding and possessive as it was gentle and attentive. When our lips finally parted, he let out a shaky breath and whispered, “sorry. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you.” “Y-you didn’t,” I stuttered, still a little taken aback by what just happened.
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-EIGHT
Lucius pov“She’s getting there. See, I told you she would come around and it’s already happening. Baby steps, Lucius, baby steps.” Xabat suddenly spoke up. All I did was stay quiet and wait for an answer, but his sudden input managed to build more hope in my heart than I deserved and dared to have. The only thing I needed was for Eden to give this a chance. To give us a chance. Who knew, maybe if we spent more time together, she would realize just how good we fit together, how we could improve each other as a person and make each other's lives better.“I believe doctors wouldn’t object if you don’t need to stay here for more observation and you would promise to sleep. And I mean actually sleep, not sneak out of the bedroom and disappear,” Eden finally spoke. I wanted to laugh at the snarky tone she was using, but held back. After all, I deserved the attitude. She was right. I got worse only because I didn’t listen and thought that I knew better than medical professionals did. Ju
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-NINE
Lucius povI woke from Eden stirring and whimpering in my arms. “Did I hurt you?” I blurted out the words even before I could understand what I was saying. “No, it’s hot and I feel like if I won’t get out of the bed, I will pee all over you,” she whispered. “I wouldn’t mind. Let her mark her territory,” Xabat interjected. I barked out a laugh at his words and released Eden. She didn’t run to the bathroom as I expected. Instead, she sat up, looking as uncomfortable as ever and stared at me as if I just grew another head. “What?” I asked through the laugh. “Why are you laughing at me?” She sounded serious and a little concerned, but I just waved her off because there was no way I would ever tell her what the beast just announced. “Why not? Tell her!” Xabat growled at me, making me laugh even harder. I could only imagine the look on her face if she heard his thoughts. Seeing that I won’t stop laughing for a while, Eden slid out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. I used the mom

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: The Daughter of the Moon EXTRA
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
