Crown Princess Ciciane's POV Still We stared at Eden in shock. This goes deeper than I thought, even my wolf, Era, rebels within me against this injustice. “No, Eden!” I encouraged her. "Never give up. No matter what obstacles come your way, you must overcome them. Rise above any hardships and never let them get to you." But the woman shook her head in defeat, she had already given up.“There's not much I can do about it, Cissy,” she explained, sadly. “That's fate. We are werewolves and there is only one remedy for my pain and that is death. I've come to accept it." But I refuse to give up on her, whatever the cost, I will convince Eden that she was wrong. Death is never the solution to problems, we must address and overcome our troubles by any means necessary. "Eden, please share the entire story with us now," Taylor coaxed her calmly. After the initial shock, she was able to recover swift
Prince Herod's POV I don't know how long I've stood here, rooted to my spot, listening to my mate recount the tragic story of her life.As she spoke, it felt like a sharp dagger was being stabbed and twisted in my heart, this hurts like hell to hear the pain in her beautiful voice. And then came the tears, this sadness ran deep. She lost her mate due to a dastardly attack by Xanne and Arbel, if I had met her earlier, I would have dealt with these two demons back in Silver Bow. To think that I allowed Arbel to touch me with the same hands she washed with the blood of Eden’s misery!I just want to run to the dungeons and strangle both women with my bare hands!But Eden needs me here, I am determined to see us through this tough time, there is no option of giving up!And when I heard her say that she was about to commit suicide because she could no longer bear the mental struggle of the severed mate bond, both Xin and I were consumed with equal anger toward her. We refuse
Prince Herod's POV StillJust as I expected, all eyes were on Eden.Not only was she stunningly beautiful with a striking appearance, but never before had I been seen on an official occasion with a woman by my side. With our arms around each other's waists and making our appearance absolutely spectacular, everyone began to guess about her identity. My possessive arm around Eden provided her with the needed confidence, even though she initially felt uneasy.Xin is doing an exceptional job with Sara, the wolf of Eden. Sara has accepted him and is fully cooperating with the process of my mate's recovery. In the hours after we accepted each other as mates, she had already strengthened considerably, but the wolfsbane still needed to be completely removed from her system for her to function properly. But there is no pressure on timing as we have plenty of time to sort that out. "Are you doing well?" I whispered into Eden's ear as we waited for our turn, while Harad and Cissy performed the
Prince Herod's POV Still As we approached the group of high-ranking where the Alpha of the Paxton pack was present, all discussion ceased and attention turned to us. I was acquainted with all standing here, I had my leadership and combat training with most of them. But strangely enough, Paxton's Alpha was unknown to me. When Walter introduced him to me until Walter introduced him. It all made sense then, he was an elderly man who clearly lacked the physical ability needed to be a competent pack leader. “My Prince,” he acknowledged my presence with a slight bow. “I'm Alpha Kendall Mendez of the Paxton pack.”As I shook his hand, I noticed a slight tremble that left me thinking why this man had not retired yet. He is placing an entire pack at risk, as an ambitious Alpha could quickly fight him for dominance and kill or enslave his pack members. In werewolf society, property and membership are linked to prestige; thus, Alphas tend to be more a
Prince Herod’s POV Again The aroma of delicious hot coffee invaded my nostrils, rousing me from a stressful slumber. Since Eden moved into my suite four days ago, I have hardly been able to close my eyes, sleep won’t come easy. The tossing and turning wears me more out, preventing me from getting any rest. It's her scent coupled with the image of her enticing body feverishly rocking beneath mine drives me wild with desire almost every night.The moment I shut my eyes, she became the center of all my dreams. Every night is a struggle to resist running into the guest room to make love to her. Even Xin is becoming weaker in resisting our mate, I often caught staring longingly at her with saliva dripping from his snout. The mate pull works heavy on us, we crave her, it's becoming too much to suppress. This is insane!"Eden!" I grunted, muffled by the pillows covering my face.But there was no answer, my mate left after placing my coffee on t
Again Prince Herod's POV As I approached the door of my suite and was about to put my finger on the scanner, I abruptly stopped in my tracks.From behind the door, Eden's voice resonates loudly, my mate is having a good time singing along with the music that echoes from the stereo. And it is not only the beautiful voice that alerted me but also the wonderful smell wafting over towards me. Today she came home early and was busy behind the stove.I think my mate has a surprise ready for me today. I glance down at the flowers in my hand, it looks like we both have plans to create an unforgettable evening. As she tries to hit a high note, I can't help but smile, she gives up halfway because her voice is failing her. She's probably more concentrated on preparing our meal than perfecting her vocal abilities. My hand reaches for the pocket in my jacket, double-checking that the ring is still there.And I opened t
Once Again Prince Herod's POV “Yes, you can,” I assured her while my hands caressed her long legs.As the hot sparks shot over us like fireworks, I heard her gasp and hold her breath. My lips followed the path of my hands, she couldn't hold back a moan of pleasure. “Don't be afraid, it's custom-made, especially for you,” I chuckled. “It will fit perfectly, I know precisely how to make that happen.”When my hand reached her triangle, her breath hitched. Her legs naturally spread apart for me to have easier access to her neatly shaved pussy. I first softly plucked her sensitive nub before inserting my thumb inside of her and making circular motions. “Ahh, Herod!” she moaned in delight.I positioned my arm beneath her hips, drawing her closer to my face. As I dipped in, I let my mouth work its magic. With the fervor building inside her, my mate turned into a horny mess, fully enjoying the pleasure my tongue provided her. Her grip tightened
Once Again Prince Herod's POV With my arm draped around Eden's shoulders, I stood in front of the new tomb of her ex-mate. It's a gray day, but that hadn't stopped Paxton from walking out to bid their last farewell to their Delta. Eden is visibly struggling with this goodbye, but she has already emerged from her initial torrent of tears and appears more at ease now.Although there lingers a tinge of sorrow within her, it is offset by an overwhelming sense of gratitude that Elon had come into her life and that she could offer him a more respectful permanent resting place instead of being left alone in the woods of another pack. The Queen also traveled with us to Paxton, she could be seen positioned on the other side of Eden. Next to her are Eden's parents. Standing beside me are Taylor and Eugene.Cissy would have loved to attend the funeral, but Harad was insistent that she stay back. My sister-in-law is in her last weeks and he did not
