THIRD PERSON POV Time had gone by quickly and the click was ticking on me. I had little to no time and I had to take advantage of it. The Full Moon would be in two days and I needed to get Belle out of the house so that I could perform my rituals. Belle's presence here would prevent Lilith from emerging and I needed her to be comfortable enough to emerge. Even though it was the night when she would be the weakest, she still needed to be strong enough to emerge. Time was going by so fast and if I didn't start preparing right now, I would miss this opportunity. The thought of asking the Moon goddess for help kept going through my mind and I couldn't just do it. She would rather die than allow that to happen. There was a higher chance of me winning this with her help than doing it alone. Lilith hated her sister and I could see that there was no love between the two so I was going to hope on that and use that to my advantage and make the Moon goddess chase her sister away from Eden
THIRD PERSON POVNathan knew the gravity of what he had done and luckily for him, none of the other kids had been stupid enough to bent to the pressure. Ever since the guards realized that the girl was missing, they were questioning everyone one after the other and Nathan feared that sooner or later, somebody would fold but so far,no one said anything. He just had to do what he did. He needed to send a message to his father to let him know that he was fine and also to his mother, who he knew would be very worried. He knew the situation at home would be very otense with his father looking for him. Even though the situation here was harsh for him to adapt to, he tried his best in doing so and with the help of the friend that he made, Daphne, he navigated being in this place. “Do you think the girl made it home?” Daphne asked. “I hope she did. Right now, she's the only hope we have in other people finding out where we are. “He knew it wouldn't take them for his father to realize w
ELI “Forget it. I'll take care of it.”I tried to walk away from him but he followed me. ”Eli, you don't understand. I know you'll take care of it. What I'm saying is how are you going to bring them here with her here? Are you asking for another war that you won't be able to win?” “Benny, what are you on about this time around? It's just Cole's wife and mother. It's not like I'm bringing Seth into the house to be her personal assistant."He gave me a look. “There's no need to be sassy. All I'm saying is that you should speak to her about it before you do such a thing.”“Have you seen her today?" He looked behind him like she was there. “No, actually. I haven't. Do you know where she is? We can't go speak to her together.”“She’s sick again. Darren has gone to pick out the herbs for her. Do you think I want to tell her something like that in the condition that she is?"He stared at me for a moment and I thought he was going to see reasons with me but I was so wrong. “But-"”Oh f
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 was trying to get on his good side. Well, not exactly I was already on his good side. I just needed him to believe this facade I was pulling off. As soon as I noticed that he trusted me, that's when I'll strike. But for now, I just needed to lay low. He invited me out for a walk that evening and everything in me would genuinely give anything just so I won't go on their walk but when Nathan offered to go in my stead, I quickly got up. I didn't want him to be anywhere around River. He could keep his crazy idea and delusions to himself. And then keep it away from my son. I ended up going on that walk with him, the chilly evening breeze blowing across the garden and taking the light petals with them. It was the middle of spring and the flowers were disappointing. Being outside, around so many flowers almost amde me forget where I was and I started playing that I heard his voice. “You’re so beautiful.”A smile has never quickly left my face before. As soon as he said it, my f
To Alpha Dimitri, things weren't just adding up. He wanted to not think that his mother was responsible for all this but in some way, he just couldn't push the thought away. It just seems too coincidental for the Rogues to do. They didn't know she meant anything to him. Only people in the house knew that. So how could they take her? And even if they did take her, then it meant that they had inside information. And who else to give him inside information other than the people who hated herThe fact that his mother showed concern for Her spooked him and he couldn't help but feel like she fell into character too deeply so when she left, he followed her. He knew he had to find out the truth so that if she truly wasn't the one responsible, then he could find out the truth another way. He stood at the door and overheard his mother and sister talk about how they wanted to kill the woman who was carrying his baby. He just couldn't understand what had come over them. The evil that had fil
LILITH It has been pure luck. I'd followed him home that day and that was when I saw it. His phone ran and I returned the wallet back into his coat. As he picked up the phone, he stood by the window and stared out. ”Hey Alicia, how're you doing?” I used that opportunity to look around the house for anything that will tell me about his marital status. There were no pictures of that woman anywhere but I could see a picture of the child. So was he a single father? But then why was she staring at him like that? “Eden is missing?! Since when?”I stopped in my tracks and slowly turned around. He knew Eden? “No, I haven't spoken to her in a very long time. I had no idea. I'll do what I can to find her okay? I really had no idea.”The call ended after and I sat down to look at him. How could anyone be this beautiful? If Eden had this man in her life as a friend, then why did she end up marrying that Roman or whatever his name was? He wasn't as handsome as Kian. She should have had
EDEN The morning came too fast and I wish it never did. I woke Belle up and got her ready for Alicia to come pick her up. I didn't sleep early last night. I stayed up all night, thinking about how long this was going to go on for. I needed to be back to my cabinet as quickly as possible. My kids were growing up without me and I didn't want to lie an important part in their lives. I stared at Belle as she slept, not knowing when next I'd get the chance to see her. I brought out her phone and hit the record button. “Listen baby, I need to tell you a couple of things. Roman has a severe allergy to nuts, any kind so make sure that he doesn't eat that and also an allergy to shellfish. His feet get really cold sometimes so make sure to tell your dad to rub his feet and he must be wearing two socks.”She nodded so I continued. “Also, for Ethan, make sure that his sweater and mittens are always in his bag when he goes to school. Also, he gets sugar rush easily so don't give him too many
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
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
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
