Syrus' POVI've known for a week now that Eden is pregnant, I'm always careful but I just don't know why I did it.I walk into my office and find my Dad in there sitting in my chair like he owns the place."When were you planning on telling me that you have a human for a mate?", He asked looking at my mother's picture."Do you imagine the embarrassment I felt when that bastard Jeffery mentioned it at our last meeting?!". Him and Jeffrey always oppose each other at meetings, their feud has continued on for years. "Kill her immediately before news of you getting a human pregnant leaks out"." I'm not going to kill her", I say." Why the hell not!"," Because the human girl is his fated mate", Yadira laughed." What?!", He said, looking at me for confirmation."You've made things easier for yourself",he says, rubbing his elder's ring. " Immediately she gives birth,you kill her,a pure blood can never have a human for a mate it has never happened before,it is humiliating and shameful to th
I still couldn't believe I was pregnant and going to be a mother,I was scared and happy at the same time.Because I couldn't sleep I kept twisting and turning until the doorknob twisted and Syrus walked in,I knew it was him because as soon as he walked in his scent filled the room stronger than the faint one on the bed coverings. He changed the sheets and pillowcases to silk after he heard me telling Jill how silk protects my hair. She had asked why I had so many silk bonnets and silk scrunchies.He went straight into the shower,I haven't seen him for the rest of the day . Was he upset about the news of the pregnancy? Will my coming to his room without him calling for me make things worse?I didn't realize he finished until the bed sunk and I was enveloped in his scent,he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer to him.His warmth spread through me as I relaxed under his touch."Why aren't you sleeping?"He asked, his warm breath tickling my ear." I'm thinking about the baby , I
"I've never seen a human pregnant with a pure breed before,so I'll have to closely monitor you in case anything goes wrong", Mark says."I'm fine I don't know why everyone is so worried, I'm pregnant not terminally ill", I say and lay back in my bed.Ever since I collapsed by the lake when I went for a walk by myself, everyone over reacted. I even got a scolding from Collin."So tell me am I going to die ",I joke."Don't say that! What is wrong with you", Jill says as she walks in." I'm joking, it's nothing serious",I laugh."I brought you the books you asked",she says and brings in the books from the library.I want to learn as much as I can about werewolves and Lycans.Especially the necklace I found,I know it's what the elders were but who did it belong to exactly.I read about a period when wolves wanted to do what they called a cleansing of their species so they'd get rid of all hybrids. I read for the whole day and just when I was about to give up I finally found a page with a
Something told me Syrus was telling the truth about what happened between him and Tatiana in his office but I can't help but feel upset and jealous. After all, when I came here he had three women,Tatiana included.I haven't left my bed for four days now. Mark has restricted any movement on my part. I even have to use a wheelchair just to go and use the bathroom.Syrus has come to see me more than once everyday,but is stopped by Jill every time. It's so hard to imagine the girl that used to be so scared at the mention of the Alpha standing up to him.I finally feel like leaving my room today,so Jill helps me get ready and we go out of the room. It is convenient that there is an elevator, whoever made the plan for this house was prepared for future situations."You're too hot, maybe it's because you're running a fever",she says and places a hand on my forehead."Maybe it's because I've been in that room for so long and I just need some fresh air", I say.As we approach the elevator, we
Syrus' POV "Are you even listening to me", Collin frustratedly said " we haven't made any improvement in the investigation the elders want you to hand over Deborah for execution". " Do you think killing her is what is best for her?"I ask, looking at the pictures Eden has taken on my phone ,she is obsessed with keeping track of her pregnancy everyday. There are cute photos of her that I take from time to time when she is not looking, especially when she has her curly hair down. He snatches the phone from me and chuckles "why don't you just admit that girl has finally made you fall in love with her. We have been researching for many years now even the man that helped make the drug doesn't know how to cure it's effects on wolves,she is long gone keeping her alive is just punishment" " I don't want to let her down ,I promised her that I was going to help her", " You've already helped her enough by keeping her alive all this while despite the threats from the elders, Deborah is long go
Eden's POV"You look beautiful", Jill said after I put on my dress. The mating ceremony is supposed to be a huge ceremony with wolves from different territories attending. If the mates are wolves they'd shift and let their wolves interact,the same if they are Lycans.But since I'm human our ceremony will be kind of different, I'm worried about marking Syrus. I have no canines like him so I don't know how this is going to all work out."You look beautiful Eden '', Yedira's mate Moon said,turns out she is a witch and a half vampire,a hybrid combination I've not heard of but is really cool. she is the person that revealed that Syrus and I were fated mates when I first ran away. She placed a crown of flowers on my head which she conjured out of thin air.I look at the cotton white dress I'm wearing my belly is exposed and Moon wrote something in Latin with red clay.The dress has words in Latin characters embroidered on it and the same crest like that on the chankra of Syrus' family,Whic
The words Simon and Tatiana said kept playing in my mind,as I lay back in bed with Jill next to me. She is long gone and there is nothing left of her so why does he still care so much for her. Could there really be a breakthrough since Collin, Yedira and Moon went too. I'm doing the right thing. She is a danger to everyone as Luna. I have to keep everyone safe , it's for his own good and the reason there is no space for me in Syrus' heart is because she is still here.I slowly got up and my legs unconsciously led me to Syrus' study.I moved the huge painting of his mother I had placed there."I'm sorry mother in-law",I say and remove the painting from where it hung on the wall. I tried the combination I tried some time back and it finally opened.Seeing the gun and magazine filled with silver bullets,I hesitated a little but placed a hand on my pregnancy bump.I made up my mind I've never fired a gun but I've seen my brother and his friends use it once when they were planning on goin
I'm a little disoriented when I wake up,I remove the tube in my nose and the one in my mouth as well.How could he ? He chose her I've me ,he rushed to her side instead of mine ,his mate and the one he was having a child with. He agreed to have me killed after I had his child. I'm not sure of what I heard but it's better to be safe than sorry .I felt the same way I did when I watched my mother leave and never come back, when I woke up and realized my brother had left me as well.I shift and feel a little discomfort in my abdomen , I look down and see a bandaged area right below my navel . . He was going to kill me after I gave birth, despite being his mate he was going to kill me,the harsh truth crushed my chest.I tried getting off the bed but fell to the ground. I had to get out of here before they got a chance to do anything to me ,they had already taken the baby out so I was no use to them at this point. My eyes land on the now bloodied cadigan I wore earlier and I reach inside
Five years later………. I stayed as still as a log and covered in mud. I slowed down my heart rate carefully listening to him. I heard everything,the flapping of a bat's wings far away, the snapping of a branch. I heard it all perfectly. It's been five years since I shifted.I had no wolf but had all the abilities that came with being a wolf,my strength could not compare to a strong wolf but was like that of an average wolf,an Omega perhaps. But I couldn't hear him nor could I smell him. I slowly moved to get a better view of my surroundings but cut my cheek in the process. "Shit",I cursed under my breath. Rubbing the area with mud before he could get the scent of my blood. I heard the snapping of a twig and searched through the darkness.I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed it was only a rabbit. I continued to look around. It was going to be midnight soon and if he hadn't found me by then then I would win ,I slowly smirked at that thought it was high time I showed that boy Malk
It wasn't until midday that I woke up and when I turned to Syrus'side he was surprisingly still there."Why are you still here?"I asked, a little confused." Don't be so cold hearted, are you going to throw me out of bed after sleeping with me, what happened to hello? how did you sleep or good morning",he chuckled." No I'm just surprised to see you here you're usually gone by the time I wake up",I smile and run my hand through his hair."Well get used to seeing me here, waking up next to you",he says and kisses me. I could feel his hands touching places he shouldn't so I pushed him away,it was already late in the morning. Remembering what Jill said it seems we're the ones that keep everyone else up , I'd die of embarrassment if they heard us during the day as well."It will be quick,I promise",he groaned and continued. My resolve was always so weak in front of him so I caved in. What he called quick was two hours quick , even then I just had to refuse many times.When I woke up again
"You should stop coming here", Ty said through the phone. Unlike Cain he didn't get executed which I'm really grateful for even though he is going to spend his entire life locked up here,he is being held in some sought of prison for shifters that break the law.." Then you should stop meeting me each time I come to visit"," How is little Malkiel?",he warmly asked." He is okay",I say and show him a photo of him. He is now six months and has just learnt how to sit."Don't push me away,I want to be here for you, please let me. I don't want to leave you alone", I say pleadingly.He sadly smiled and placed his hand on the glass separating us, we've been through a lot together and now we only have each other.He had a few bruises,some guys must have roughed him up here, it's sad to see that some wolves are not friendly to hybrids. I still love him in spite of everything that has happened. When he was arrested,like Cain, the council seized all possessions that I found out he had transferr
After my talk with the Marshall I was given a representative,more like a lawyer to defend my case before the elders.Cain already got his sentence he was to be executed if it were a 100 years ago he would have been hanged or had his head cut off but since we live in different times they were going to do to him what he did to his victims turn him rogue then kill him.My mother is human so she is being charged as a terrorist by the human government.Today was mine and my brother's trail ,we were going to appear before the elders. I waited outside the intimidating doors waiting for my turn . I had no hope Syrus' and Tatiana's fathers are both elders and I'm sure they want to see me dead. It will be sad to die and not see my son grow up,it was what I was scared of the most as I stood outside waiting for my turn.The doors opened and my brother was pushed out strapped to a wheelchair with an iron mask on his face. It broke my heart to see him this way,I couldn't even speak to him or ask wh
It's been two days since I was brought here,they haven't said anything and are just keeping me locked up in a cell ,a very comfortable cell I should say and the food is okay as well. I haven't had any sleep because of worrying about Syrus,my child and Ty.I hear a beeping sound and the door to my cell slides open, Collin and a guard walks in. I'm glad to see him but I'm too ashamed to look him in the eyes."Where are they taking me?",I ask him."Do not speak!", The guard warned and shoved me." I wouldn't do that if I were you buddy", Collin says and pushes the guard away from me,he handcuffs me and leads me out of my cell. We walked into the elevator and to a floor below the one they were keeping me in.We walked into a room where I found Mark waiting,the guard uncuffed me and him and Collin both stepped out."Ain't you happy to see me?",he asked as I rubbed the soreness of my wrists.I slowly walked to him and hugged him "I'm sorry",I sobbed."It's not your fault",he said and kissed
"Ms Eden escaped Sir", I heard the guard say to Ty." How can you leave her alone you idiots, of course she did,a simple cell can't hold her!",he yelled and I heard rushed footsteps go out of the room.I waited for a few seconds and walked out,he was looking pale. The silver nails stopped his wounds from healing, making him lose a lot of blood."Eden?","I'm going to get you out of here, then we can talk about everything later", I say and unlock him from where he was embedded on the way", he fell to the ground and I held him in my arms ,I could see the black blood stream down his ears and eyes as his hand shifted half way."You have to go","What do I do? I'm not going to leave you,I knew when he turned rogue he wouldn't recognize me at all but I wasn't going to leave him alone."Go!",he shoved me with so much force it sent me sliding on my butt all the way to the other side of the room.He had already shifted half way and I was already starting to feel dread. So I ran out of there an
I ran to my room and closed the door behind me,but found Ty ,Cain and my mother who held my son in her arms.It was good I found him here because the plan was never to capture Syrus, even though I'm still and kind of hate him I didn't want him to be hurt."Ty you lied to me ! This was never part of the plan,I want you guys to release Syrus immediately!"," We can't and I never knew you'd come in so handy my dear you're not so useless after all", Cain smiled." Cain don't speak to her like that", Ty warned."You said you were going to sneak in and get my child not to attack that place! How can you do this? All those innocent people"," They are not people, they are beasts! And the sooner you get that into your pretty head the best it is for this family!", My mother yells." You're sick in the head,Cain and Ty are part of them does that make them beasts as well?"," It's different", she says and lifts my baby from the crib."What are you doing?, where are you taking him?",I said and rea
I was allowed outside,so I patiently waited for Ty to get back. Whilst waiting I got a good look at the place we were at ,it was in the middle of nowhere,we must be in some old abandoned town,the building was only five stories high.The gates opened and cars started piling in, I looked around for Ty until I saw him get out of a car with Cain. I was getting confused wasn't he supposed to go alone,why all the men and all the guns? I then see the truck I saw earlier that was carrying rogues empty."What did you do!","There's my favorite child,who knew you'd be so useful to me?", Cain laughed." Ty what is going on?"I asked, dreading his response.He reached into the car and took out my baby who was wrapped in a beautiful white blanket that was stained with a little blood."I got your son and your friend as well",he says pointing to a man that carried a passed out Jill on his shoulder."This wasn't part of the arrangement","We'll talk about it later",he says and hands my son to me. He h
After mapping out the territory for him,I gave the paper to him."You don't have to worry I'll bring your child back and then you and I will leave this place",he promises.I just hope they don't catch him. I quickly pack a bag just in case,I don't have much clothes but it's been getting cold lately,so I'll need to keep warm."Ms Eden, your mother would like to have a word with you", a guard says and opens the door.This is my que to follow him,so I do. He leads me to my mother's and Cain's apartment where we all have dinner together.My mother sat by the window looking out to the back of the building.I sat in front of her getting a good look at her face ,she has always been beautiful just like I remember but the woman in front of me is not the same as the mother that I remember the woman in front of me seems distant and cold."Yesterday ended on a bad note,but I hope everything is clear to you today",she says ."understand what mother? That I should stand by my mate just as you do wi
