When they arrived in the cabin all of Eon’s men were gathered in the living room. Lina stepped closer to Eon and hugged his arm, hiding her flushed face. She vividly remembered now that some of Eon’s men were riding the helicopter with him and they hovered above them, watching them on the boat. And the idea that some of these men saw her and Eon making love on the boat embarrassed her to death.
“Good to see that all of you are here. I’d presumed that nothing is wrong with any of you? None was hurt?” He scanned his men and all of them nodded. “Good. Good.” He nodded. “Give me a few minutes and I’ll be right with you.”
He guided her to the stairs and walked her to their bedroom.
“Eon—”
“Shhh, you are my guardian. My mate. There is no reason for you to be ashamed of us. The men understand these kinds of things.” He cupped her face to face him. He could feel the anxiety
When he returned to their bedroom, he found out that Lina was still inside her walk-in closet. He shook his head in amusement with how much thought she was putting into clothes when their destination was just the forest. He almost laughed out loud with the irony of it all. But instead of teasing and bugging Lina about it, he went to the bathroom that happened to smell wondrous. Lina’s scent lingered in the air and he almost had a hard on if he didn’t take a freezing cold shower.The shower didn’t take long. He just washed off the dirt and the sweat from his body. He entered the walk-in closet, wrapped in nothing but a fluffy white towel around his waist. He went straight to the delegated drawers for his clothes. He pulled out another pair of jeans and a white shirt. He got board shorts and put them on. The shirt and jeans, he shoved them in a backpack. They are his change of clothes for later. He no longer has enough pairs of jeans here. Hence, the board sho
They were still on the ‘I’m not speaking to you terms’ when they left the cabin to go to Deep Forest to attend the Turning ceremony. But even when they weren’t talking to each other, Eon put on a thick wool jacket over her dress and a shawl covered her head to protect her from the cold. The sweet act almost made Lina wave the white flag first but she held her ground.The trip to Deep Forest was quiet and uneventful. It was just the three of them. Her—riding on Galan’s back with Ehann, running on his right.When they were about halfway from Deep Forest, the two slowed down because some of the wolves near the borders from the mining company were also on their way to Deep Forest. They are the young teens that will take part in the Turning ceremony. There are four teenagers—three boys and a girl.The four teenagers from the Rising Sun pack were accompanied by five adult wolves. One of them was their Alpha.She couldn&
When Eon said that the ceremony was about to start, her heart thumped in wild excitement. She kept on glancing over her shoulder as they climbed the bamboo staircase to the viewing deck. She didn’t notice the area when they were done in the open ground where the ceremony was about to happen.The viewing deck was almost full when they arrived. She pulled Eon’s shirt and was about to complain why they wasted time staying down when they could climb up here and get the good seats.“Hey, strangers!”The familiar tone of Elyon stopped her from being annoyed at Eon. Elyon was at the end of the viewing area and her smile widened when she saw that there were a lot of vacant seats on that side. She pulled Eon’s arm to urge him to walk faster.“The seat won’t go away and just to remind you that the ceremony won’t be as pretty as you think.”The seriousness in Eon’s voice stopped her in her tracks. In
After the chaotic mess that happened at the end of the Turning ceremony where Elyon jumped down from the viewing deck, claiming the unmoving new she-wolf, Edina while the rest of the young wolves were scattered all over Deep Forest and the adults who were tasked to follow the new wolves. After Eon and Ehann had a really good laugh because their premonition of Elyon having a mate twenty years his junior just happened. All the while the two were splitting their sides with laughter, she just watched them in amusement. It’s another side of Eon that she had witnessed. And in a few moments that she was watching Eon laughing at his friend's supposed misfortune, she had a glance of what Eon was like as a teen with his friends. When they finally stopped laughing, they all went down from the viewing deck because they were the only ones left. “Where did the other go?” “At the after party of course,” Eon grinned. “Are we going there too?” He cares
“When are you going to tell her about Larissa?” Ehann nodded in Lina’s direction, who was talking with Alpha Tomas.“Later…”He said with a sigh. It’s something that he doesn’t want to discuss with Lina as much as possible. She doesn’t want to tell Lina what will happen to Larissa after she was known to conspire with the pack that attacked the Deep Forest pack, resulting in some members of the pack being heavily injured and one dying.Larissa, together with his two half-brothers were confirmed to connive with the Lykanthos pack to attack the Deep Forest pack. Her two brothers were killed by Laurence with the help of the wolves from the Rising Sun pack. Larissa was caught escaping with the Alpha of the Lykanthos pack but the coward Alpha of the Lykanthos used her as a trap and escaped on his own. Larissa is not held prisoner in one of the secret dungeons of the Deep Forest.And it’s something that she do
When Eon returned to the small receiving area of the cabin, Alpha Aaron was quietly drinking his tea. If he didn’t know that the Deep Forest pack was attacked and his father’s pack successfully defended his pack and his position as an Alpha, he would have been able to draw a strong alliance with the two packs in his borders, and a successful Turning ceremony. Eon would not know that his father was bone-tired. That he was just keeping it together but he had to take care of a lot of things and be able to make a sensible decision for the well-being of all the wolves of the Deep Forest pack. He has never been so amazed and admired his father than today.And now, he had to make another hard decision. He had to give a punishment to his own daughter.Eon took the only chair left on the table and without a word poured himself a cup of tea.“Lina won’t sit with us?”Eon met his father’s eyes. “No. I’d rather not.&rdq
When Lina came out of the bathroom, Alpha Aaron was no longer in the cabin. “Where is your father?” She asked, scanning the room. She came out of the bathroom wearing lounge pants and a sweater. She had no idea whose clothes she was wearing but they were comfortable. The perfect wear for the cold mountain night. “He had to leave because the Alpha of Lykanthos was caught and brought here.” “Oh,” she said with a sharp intake of breath. “You aren’t going to—” She had no idea what Eon should or could do. He shook his head and opened his arms and she strolled inside them and pressed her cheek on her chest. “We are just guests here. Whatever business they have, they will settle them on their own. Besides, why would I want to meet another egoistic Alpha when I have a beautiful woman in my arms?” He whispered over her head, rubbing her back. The slow movement of his large palm, rubbing her back in a small circle is giving her soft feelings. Sh
Surveying the waffles, the scrambled eggs, and the fresh fruit on the breakfast tray that Eon put down on the bed, she glanced up at him in wonder.“How did you make this breakfast?”He smirked. “You don’t have confidence in your husband that I can give you whatever you want?”Lina rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue at him for two things. Because of how overbearing he was with a smug look on his face to be able to catch her in surprise with her breakfast request, served in bed and the second factor was him, calling himself her husband.It does tickle her fancy. She definitely likes the sound of it. ‘Her husband.’ However, they aren’t married and they haven’t talked about marriage at all. They talked about children but a wedding was a topic that they haven’t touched. She didn’t know if it was avoided or just that they didn’t think about it. Thus, now that Eon is calling himself her
