All Chapters of EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Lucius povThe talk with Alpha Maverick in short was nothing I expected it to be. As I walked inside his office, I expected him to question me about the true reason why we arrived or ask me to share why I thought someone was trying to kill him. Once my ass was firm on the chair, he glared at me and cleared his throat. “I want to know what your intentions are toward Eden. She is a nice girl, very kind and forgiving, but I can’t let anyone stomp over her head as if she means nothing. I have overlooked too much mistreatment of her as it is. It’s about time for me to step up and be the Alpha I am supposed to be. The father I promised to be.” Honestly, I admired his bluntness. The no bullshit approach was rather refreshing. On top of that, the fact that this high-ranked man could admit his mistakes and own up to them, yeah, I could tell he was an Alpha worthy of his title. Plus, the longer I stayed quiet the more color appeared on his cheeks, which had to be an indication of him, getti

Lucius povI was surprised by the amount of pack members, who approached me just to have a quick chat and introduce themselves. When Eden and I entered this room, I assumed all of them would have questions about the King and my purpose here, but to my utter surprise, none did. Even the dickhead of an ex mate was present, although he stood in the furthest corner and just glared daggers at me. “That’s it, fucker, look at the man who is worthy of her,” Xabat growled from the back of my mind. His possessiveness amused me more than it could annoy me. I liked how in sync we were when it came to Eden and our obsession over her. “He can sulk all he wants, it won’t change a thing, my friend,” I quickly reminded him of the fact, simply to ensure he wouldn’t get pissy and wouldn’t try to break free.The last thing we needed was anyone around here seeing the beast that hid underneath the surface of my skin. As I kept chatting with the pack members, I noticed that the slimy Luna’s daughter w

Eden povWas it normal that my heart started beating just a little faster? That my cheeks tinted red as the heat traveled even to the tips of my ears, and that my throat dried up? Although I still wasn’t sure as to how to respond and what words could be fitting in a situation as such, I knew I had to speak up before Lucius took my lack of answer as rejection. The only thing that I knew for a fact was that I didn’t want to deny him. I didn’t want to say no to Lucius, especially when he looked at me like this. His eyes were gentle, as always, but there was that hidden hint of sharpness, impatience and lust that I didn’t think would go so perfectly with the calmness of his voice and stoic facial expression.It felt like just seconds ago, I experienced a mental breakdown, just to feel this liberated and calm after something that was supposed to worry me. Lucius raised an eyebrow, “love? Are you okay? We don’t need to go that far if you’re not ready yet, it’s-” I raised my hand to int

Eden povAs I looked down at Lucius, I felt like his eyes could look through me, as if he could see more than there was on the surface. The longer we stared at each other, the clearer the situation became. This man was my everything. He was all of my true first’s. The first kiss? Technically, Asher stole it, but it was an act of showing off power and violence, a way to violate me and nothing else, so I refused to count it in. Besides, I didn’t really want to think about that scum while I was here with the only man that mattered. Lucius, the rumored evil King was the man who fell to his knees with the sole intention to pleasure me. And now, as the water washed over us both, I realized there was no place I would rather be. There was no other man I would rather share this part of me with. Perhaps it was wishful thinking on my part, but I also had a feeling that the beast within him, as scary as it seemed, would be equally as gentle with me if the time ever came. They were one, united

Eden povI stood by the door when the lock clicked and Lucius swung it open. A gasp left my lips when he instantly pulled me in and firmly cupped my ass. I could feel a growl form in his chest as he hid his face in the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent. Giving into the temptation of the calmness his presence brought me, I threw my arms around his shoulders and closed my eyes. His hand instantly left my ass and slid up my back until it tangled in my hair and cupped the back of my head. When I opened my eyes, his face was already too close to mine for me to react. Lucius didn’t just kiss me, he branded me with his lips. As he reached behind to lock the door, he thrust his tongue into my mouth, swallowing the moan that escaped me. As soon as the lock clicked, Lucius wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me flush against his chest. The feeling of his tongue, nearly melting into mine, rubbing and exploring, fighting for dominance, made me think of impossible things until he fi
