EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon TWENTY-ONE
Eden pov“You’re awake,” he breathed out as he carefully placed one of his hands on my head. As much as I wanted to speak, I couldn’t. The concern and fear that flashed in his eyes made me speechless, so I just nodded like an absolute fool. There were so many confusing things about Lucius that although a part of me passionately believed in every single word that left his lips, the other part fought back with ferocity to doubt it all. Was he really the man he pretended to be? Was this all but an act to fool me? But why would a King need to lie to a lowly halfbreed woman, who had already been rejected by her so-called fated mate? What was he trying to get if there was nothing for me to offer?I knew that technically I was very wealthy, but all that money was left behind in a pack of abusers and from what I knew, the King was the last person to need any of that. “How are you feeling? Should I bring something?” Lucius suddenly spoke, straightening his body, looking as if I just hit h

Titus povI had never wished for something so much that my entire being screamed for it. What made it worse was the fact that it wasn’t my place to speak and tell Eden everything she had to know. It was up to my best friend to open up and let her know how he felt. Lucius had always been the closed up type who hid his pain. He never feared his emotions, never felt shame for having feelings, but he truly feared disappointing and hurting those he loved. And Eden… Well, I could tell he loved her from the moment he found her. It wasn’t just because they were mates. For years, Lucius had confided in me how much he wanted to find her, how he would go above and beyond, cross every boundary he had to find her, and here we were. My best friend was so in love with the fragile girl that he didn’t know how to act anymore. “I didn’t mean to hurt him. Titus, you must believe me, it has never been my intention,” Eden mumbled the words in panic. Her voice shook, the words escaped her lips so fast

Eden povMy heart was racing as I watched Titus walk out of the room. My cheeks burned with the ferocity of a wildfire when the door finally closed and I felt like I could breathe again. I never knew myself as someone who couldn’t face the problems and deal with them, and yet, here I was, thinking about another escape plan. If only I could get some time to myself - without anyone around, just my thoughts and emotions. As the foolish idea popped in my mind, my eyes focused on the window. I couldn’t… Could I? There was no saying how much time I had for this stupid idea, but trying was better than sitting and waiting on the rescue that could never come. My hands shook as I pushed the sheets off my body and revealed the hospital gown I was wearing. Surely, if anyone saw me wandering around wearing this, they would think I was some lunatic that escaped a mental facility, but I didn’t care. Getting to the window was a little challenging, but once I stood in front of it, I grinned like

Lucius pov“Eden climbed out of the window and now she’s chilling at the old man’s place,” Titus announced as he slumped on the chair across from me. I raised my gaze from the paperwork and watched him. For a brief moment, it sounded like he just told me that my mate escaped the hospital and was hiding in the grandfather’s housing. Since the shit-eating grin didn’t disappear from his lips, I knew I didn’t hear things and he meant every word. “And you are here, taking your sweet time, not following her and ensuring she’s safe because?” I raised an eyebrow as I questioned him. Although my first instinct was to storm out of here and go after her, Xabat held me back. He reminded me of the look on her face the last time we saw her. It didn’t matter how passionate Eden was about denying her fear, we knew she feared us. We could sense how tense she became whenever we were near and smell the scent of her fear. So, yeah, I think it was pretty fucking safe to say she was terrified of me an

Lucius povThe silence that followed my demand enraged me. How dare they? I kept banging on the door even when I caught a whiff of her fear. Although deep down I knew it was better to stop and step away, I couldn’t. Maybe, after all, my anger was based on her unexplainable fear of me. I knew she didn’t know me, all Eden could base her opinion on was the rumors she had heard. Yes, those rumors were awful, but I never treated her poorly. Or did I? That thought forced me to back down and let them be. Until… Until I heard the old man speak, proving that Eden really hid behind that door. “You stay here, I will deal with him.”Deal with me? Who did he think he was, a fucking god? There was no way he had a chance if he decided to stand face to face with me and actually toss a challenge at me. Xabat would use his bones as toothpicks.As soon as the old man opened the door, all I could see was red. The smug smile across his lips pissed me off, but what really made me forget sanity were his

Eden povI couldn’t describe how I felt as I watched Lucius leave even if I tried. The worst part was that it was his words that hurt me, the things he said earned my reaction, and yet, I felt guilty for his sudden decision to leave me behind. Besides, it didn’t make any sense. He came here to force me back into that hospital room, flew off the handle and left as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. What was wrong with the King? The intense mood swings were so sudden and unpredictable that I had no idea how to deal with it. Richard placed a hand on my shoulder, making me jump, and squeezed it a little. “Come, let’s go inside and drink that tea. It will help you relax and in the meantime, we can discuss where you want to go once we get out of this shithole.” The chuckle that left his lips was odd. He didn’t ensure I followed him inside, just went back straight to the kitchen area and hummed a melody under his breath. Slowly, I entered the house again and sat down. While he was

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

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
