EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon TWENTY-SEVEN
Eden povThe reason for my outburst was the stupid hope that I could open Richard’s eyes to reality, I had no intention to hurt anyone in the process. But of course, as always, I messed up even without trying. The door to the house burst open and Titus walked inside. His chest was rising and falling rapidly as he breathed, hot tears rolled down his cheeks, leaving ugly marks behind. “You feel nothing and yet, you won’t tell him? You’re here to mislead my best friend and don’t even have fucking guts to spill the truth? I regret ever sneaking into those cells and trying to help you. That place brought the good out of you, but obviously, you thrive in misery because once someone does everything in their power to please you, you turn into a completely different person. You’re fucking disgusting, Eden. Shifter or not - you’re rotten!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. I tried to get closer, set on explaining myself, but Richard grabbed my hand and held me back. All I could do was to

Lucius povThis wasn’t the first time in my life that I had to turn my back on someone and leave, but this surely was the most painful fucking experience so far. It felt like someone was ripping out my heart while it was still beating. On my way to the castle, I mind-linked Titus and sent him to Eden. “I need you to go check on Eden. I gave her the green light to leave if that is what she wishes to do, but while she’s still in the territory, someone has to watch her and report back to me.” He wasn’t too happy about that and didn’t shy away from voicing his frustration. “First of all, I don’t want to go, but I will only because you are making me. Second, the fuck is wrong with you? You’ve been waiting for your mate ever since I remember you and you’re already giving up? Weak.” I understood that he was butt-hurt, but I needed to ensure she was safe. “It doesn’t matter anymore, Titus. And quite frankly, my love life, as non-existent it is, is none of your business. I appreciate the co

Titus povMothertrucker load of shitsticks… Those were the only words I could think of to describe the situation. I had too much on my hands as it was, but now, Eden was frozen on the spot along with the old man, and to top it off, certain someone managed to scare her even more. As I was about to reach out and grab her, she came to her senses and brushed past me. She was too tiny to move that fast and yet somehow, she managed to prove me wrong. Why, just why I couldn’t think about the consequences as I stood in the door, watching her? And when the consequences came, I still managed to overlook them until a loud scream left her. That was when I understood she had caught a glimpse of Xabat, heading to the border. “Eden, don’t just stand there, we need to get you to safety,” I snapped out of my thoughts and grabbed her hand as I attempted to drag her away from the danger zone. Instead of listening to me, she pulled her hand out of mine and refused to move. In true, childlike manner,

Titus povAs soon as we got to the action, Leo nearly emptied the content of my goddamn stomach. I had to fight the moron not to vomit out the godly cookies I munched on earlier. I cared about my best friend, I really did, but I also worshiped the cookies. But now that I was looking at the carnage through the eyes of my wolf, his reaction kind of made sense. The woods were a bloody mess - literally. There were body parts all over the place - heads, limbs and torsos even hanging in the trees and in the middle of the mess, laid my best friend, still in his beast form. We approached him with caution. Xabath’s chest rose and fell, so he was breathing. He held a massive spine in his claws - that moron and his obsession with spines was unbelievable. However, when Leo got close enough to assert the damage, both of us froze. A massive chunk of flesh was missing from Xabath’s left side, between where the hip and ribs were. I was surprised I couldn’t see intestines hanging out of the body.

Eden povIt was almost amusing how much at home I felt trapped inside the cell. The memories of my past washed over me like a hurricane.Perhaps Titus made this decision to prove to me how good I had it now, compared to what I used to have? Sure, there was a possibility that he told me the truth and actually locked me here to make sure I didn’t run, but there was no way for me to read his mind. “Do you need anything? Food, drink, a blanket perhaps? Anything, really, I’ll get it,” one of the guards spoke up. I glanced in their direction and forced a weak smile. “No, thank you.” Both men exchanged quick glances and shrugged. All I wanted was to be left alone with my thoughts while true to their word, the guards tried their best to start a conversation.“How old are you?” “What is your favorite color?” “Do you have any hobbies? My kids love to draw and sing.”“Yes, hobbies are awesome! I don’t have kids yet, but I love fishing.”The more they spoke, the more their words merged into

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 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 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 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
