EDEN It was another day in this hell. I had no idea what to do. All I did was wake up, walk around their damn house with no doors and windows and then go back to sleep. The woman barely said two words to me. All she did was stare at me like she wanted to remove my soul. ”You know that's how you will continue to stay here for the rest of your life until you decide to stop being greedy.”What the hell.“Greedy? Am I being greedy? Who was the person who asked that bitch to enter me? Not me? So how am I the one being greedy? I'm not the one who gave up everything to summon her so why is she after me?!”“How dare you speak about her like that?!”My blood was boiling. I was sick and tired of this whole thing and this witch woman acting like it was my fault that all this happened.“What will happen ? You'll kill me? Go ahead, death is better than living this kind of life anyways.”She dropped what she was holding and walked closer to me. “Be careful what you wish for.”This was the clos
LUCIANI couldn't help the way my mind kept going to check on Eve. I knew she was extremely mad at me and I knew she didn't want to speak to me but I couldn't help the way I felt. I'd not seen her around in a while and since I was so busy with other things in the kingdom, I didn't exactly have the time to check on her. My mind kept drifting back to her though.So I went to see her. I knocked on the door but there was no response and I pushed my way in. The room was empty and after checking the bathroom to see that there was no one there, I left. I called for a guard. “Look for Martine and send her to me.” Maybe she also had been caught up with something that was taking her time. I was sure that it had to do with the case that we were all dealing with. Maybe she was speaking to the parents of the kids that were taken. “Alpha, I've been told she's not on palace grounds.”“Where is she then?””According to the matron, she hasn't been present for a week.”What? Did Eve fire her and
ALLY I've been having issues sleeping. Mainly because the sleep didn't come and also because that woman was in this house. I couldn't do anything or say anything about that issue because it was out of my control. Nobody is looking to me to have an opinion on it because they were scared of Lucian. I didn't even have anything to say. The hurt in my heart was too heavy to let my mouth say anything. How could he do this? After everything that had happened?What was the whole point of making me feel like things were getting better when in fact, they weren't?They were only about to get worse. But I'd seen more hurt than I could handle. My mother's life was the mirror through which I now looked at my own life. I didn't know if my father had other women in his life but I knew that he did look at other women a lot. Just like me, my mother couldn't say anything because no one was asking for her opinion. The same way I'd been overlooked like I didn't matter when the maid took her bag up
GAIAThe last thing I had the time for was Stephanie's bullshit. Not today, not any day soon. So I walked away and left Javon and his baby to settle their shit. I'll go stay in my son's room. What was I thinking going back to his room like we were even married before. I must be crazy. “Gaia! Gaia, wait and please listen to me.”There was nothing to listen to. What exactly did he want to explain or say? That he was sorry that she started screaming like a mad woman or maybe he was sorry for bringing her to his house in the first place? He grabbed my hand and spun me around, making me face him square. “What do you want? I had a long day and I need to rest.””What happened back there…I mean, I don't even know what to say. I'm just…the flowers were for you. I got them for you because I wanted to let you know how serious I was about what I said. “It took me a while to even remember what he said but after a while, it came back to me. “You can't want me back with that woman in your hous
EDEN I had to tell him. I had kept it from him for too long and so getting within me was telling me that the earlier I did that, the better. I wouldn't like Roman finding out by himself. I'd been trying to reach Matilda's number for days but it wasn't going through. If even tried the other maids at the house but none of then were available. That was odd but I couldn't really lay attention to it to all that was going on on my own end. I cane down from the stairs and approached the office, waving at Coco and Belle who were talking about heaven knows what and laughing so loudly. I was so glad my baby was fine. What happened had been close. I was so mad at Roman for not doing anything but I still needed him as much as I didn't want to speak to him. My hand was raised to knock on the door but I halted when I heard voices inside. ”When are you going to tell her about him? She needs to know!”That was Quinn's voice. ”I will tell her. I just need some time to sort things out. She's no
JAVON “What did you say?”“Javon, you knew this would happen. It was only a matter of time before he found out and started making moves.”This guy is a bastard. “What exactly is his case? What does he want from her?”He sat down in the chair in front of me. “What do you think? He wants to cause trouble. He told her about his father and he wants her to investigate his death and you know what that means.”Of course, I knew what that meant. It meant trouble. “What’s she saying about this?”“Nothing but I can see that she's scared. She doesn't know I know but she doesn't sleep anymore. She stays up all night looking out of the window and at the security cameras. Juan hasn't gone to school in a week.”Damn, I knew something was wrong. I noticed the way she always spaced out and the way her mind was always far off but when I asked, she didn't give an answer. “He’s threatening to reveal the truth about you. She thinks he's talking about your marriage to her but we both know he's not. He
EDEN I stood there as she made whatever incantations she knew. I had to undress while she marked my body in blood and danced around me, smearing the ground around me in white powder. Then she made a loud shout and then she fell to the ground. The sudden urge to throw up came up and I felt dizzy. It felt like I could feel something moving in me and I could feel like my legs were moving when they were not..The urge heightened and I finally wrenched and that was when I saw her again. She looked around like she was confused before she finally understood what was going on. This was the first time I was actually seeing her. Well, I had seen her before but that was the time I woke up in my car so I could barely remember her face or recall anything that happened. She looked nothing like I expected. She wore a red gown and her hair flowed down her back, she had a face full of makeup like she just came out of a salon. She was beautiful. So beautiful. I'd been expecting something less
EVELYN I watched her as she walked away, not knowing what exactly to say. My head cleared and I just stood there, replaying her words in my head. Had I heard right? She was behind the attack. Tears gathered in my eyes and I wondered if I should go after her and ask her to explain herself. Why did she have to go that far just to get back at me? Why did she have to do that? If she wanted to kill me, she could have just come up to me and done it without having to put Nathan's life at risk. What if something had happened to him? What if Lucian hadn't come there in time and I had no place to go? Tears fell from my eyes and I slowly made my way upstairs to my room. I wanted to be alone for now, training could wait. If anyone should ask me why I was crying, I wouldn't know what to tell them so it was best that I just went to my room. As I climbed the stairs, I bumped into someone again. What the hell was with me and bumping into people today?Since my head was bent down as I didn't
THIRD PERSON POVHe left Alpha Dimitri's house in anger, storming back to the car and getting in. He wasn't exactly angry that the Alpha didn't take his daughter as a wife. He had been hoping for it too because he knew the Alpha had a wife already and no responsible man would marry two women just months apart. So he was grateful for that at least. But he was still mad about the fact that his daughter was pregnant. Nothing could change that. But another thing that wouldn't change was the fact that his daughter was going to be the other woman and that child would never be the heir. That was something he couldn't allow. He had a reputation to uphold and he wouldn't let this situation mess that up. Since Alpha Dimitri couldn't marry his daughter, then he had to do something he didn't want to. He didn't believe in abortion and he didn't ever think that he would ask his princess to do a thing like this but right now, he didn't have a choice. He couldn't let such a thing happen and me
EDEN I knew from the moment she came from the stairs that something was wrong. From the way she walked to the way she spoke to Roman, I could tell that something was different. Off. Then she looked at me as Roman walked away. Then I confirmed. “Why are you here?”She looked shocked that I had recognised her because her eyes widened.But she knew that there was no need to deny it. “Is it you or is it her?"“It’s me, she's having problems coming out. What are you doing here?" She seemed to relax when she figured out that it was me and she chuckled and fell back on the chair behind her. “So it's you. It's about time we had a discussion. Have a seat."“Don't act like we're friends all of a sudden. What are you doing in my house? And what are you doing in Quinn's body? Where is she?!” What the hell did she do with Quinn?“You might want to reduce your voice. We don't want any of the maids or guards hearing anything about this. Have a seat and then we can talk.” I let out a heavy
LUCIAN At this point, I was being forced what I originally didn't want to. Find out who the mole is. There was no way I would know who told Golden Blade King that we were coming because basically everyone was there that night. All the guards, all the maid and the elders knew so how would I be able to single one person out? “A test.” I looked at Kira as she stood over me while I thought. “What did you say?”“A test, Lucian. You can spread some silly rumor and then watch who leaves the pack. Before, we didn't know that there was a spy but now that we do, we'll be on the look out.”That seemed like it would make sense. I should definitely try that. “What should I say?”“Let's do something outrageous. Let's say the prince has returned with some other kids and they're going to tell us what happened and even take us back to where they were being held.”That made sense and sounded like it would work. “Fine then, you can get on that. I don't know how you want to make it seem natural th

The sun was coming down when Wayne came out of the building. He'd had a long day and he couldn't wait to get home and lie in his bed. He just wanted to rest after the events of the past week. “Mr Wayne!”“Mr Wayne! Look here! Do you have anything to say concerning the rumors?!” “Are you truly married?"“What is your wife like?” There was a swarm of reporters outside his building and any sleep that Wayne was feeling before was long gone. They were bombarding him with questions and his bodyguards had to come to his aid by pushing them away from him so they wouldn't hurt him. “One question at a time. Calm down.” He finally managed to calm them down and listen to them. “Mr Wayne, what do you have to say about the rumors that you're married?” Wayne sighed. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later. He just wished it would have happened on a day when he wasn't so tired. “I’m happy to assure you that they're all rumors. I'm still a bachelor and I haven't ever been married in
LUCIANKira started working immediately on the information we had. Now, I knew that the only reason why River took Nathan was because he wanted his delusion of a family to be complete. Beneath the picture of River, Nathan had began drawing the picture of someone. The face wasn't complete, probably because he ran out of time but he wrote the word “spy” in very small letters. Kira was she knew who noticed it and showed it to me. I have such a smart boy. So now I know that he spy motion wasn't a goose chase. Nathan knows who the person is or else, he wont have written that. “The pictures have been circulated around the pack. Soon, we'll have news about their girl and who's child she is. In the mean time, more gifts arrived.”I'd spent the last few days, visiting all the kids that had been returned to their parents. Since I wasn't there for them when they were taken, the least I could do was to see them when they were returned. I knew if Eve was here, that's what she'd do. “Lucian,
ROMANI didn't go anywhere today. I wanted to spend the day with my kids, just being with them and playing with them. School was back in session and it felt good that they came back home to me. Since it was just me for now, I didn't have a choice but to look after every aspect of their life even down to little details. Quinn says I should let the maids handle it but I can't. I can't leave my kids to other people to take care of them. I felt the responsibility to be there for them when they needed me. I didn't have anyone to take care of me. My father didn't exactly give two shits when it came to me and I didn't want a life like that for my kids. I wanted them to know that their father thought about them and loved them. My kids were the only reason I did everything I did, they were the reason I worked hard to be a better man.. I wanted to show them just how much I cared about them. As for Eden, I don't even know what to do about it. I didn't know what to say about her and I didn't
ALPHA DIMITRIShe had fallen asleep at some point during the night. After I'd pulled her closer to me, I could feel her body temsedd and even though I told her to relax, I could still hear her rapid breathing.I'd quietly gotten out of bed so as not to wake her up and to disappear before she did. Just as I was done dressing up, there was a knock on the door and I cursed underneath my breath, wondering who the hell that could be and what they could want. Luckily, Ally didn't wake up and I rushed to the door to stop the person from knocking again. “What?!” I spat. It was a maid and she moved back a bit at my tone. “Good morning, Alpha. My apologies for the disturbance but there's someone here to see you."“At this time?” It wasn't even eight in the morning “Who the hell could it be?" “It’s Princess Violet.”What? Violet? After the warning I'd given her yesterday? She still had the guts to ahoe her face here? That woman had some guys. “Tell her that I'm busy. I can't see her righ
