All Chapters of EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Lucius pov After the shower, Eden complained about still feeling tired, so while she finished up in the bathroom, I changed the sheets on the bed and stuck around until she fell asleep again. With my whole being, I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, I wanted to make sure the entire world knew my Queen was a mated woman and the mark was to come soon after. As I left the bedroom and locked the door, I thought of all the things I was planning to do with Eden today. Since she wouldn’t accompany me just yet, I could focus on some issues she was better to be left out of. I loved and trusted Eden, but some things were always better left unspoken. The last thing I wanted was to dig up the demons of her past and make her face them. My Queen would soon realize just how far I was willing to go for her. Walking down the hall that led to the staircase, I calculated the best ways to approach everything within the limited time frame I had. As soon as Eden would wake up, I would have to s

Eden povI was sure that I wouldn’t feel half as angry as I did if it weren’t for Lucius running away and Titus following him soon after. A couple of words from the servant girl were enough for me to understand why my mate had lost his cool and acted so aggressively. Funny as it was, the girl threw something at Titus as she chased after him and that had to have triggered Lucius’ protective instincts. However, instincts aside, I wasn’t all too happy about the fact that he was too angry to realize he had told everyone who he truly was. The whole pack now knew that the King himself had arrived and well, since everyone knew I was his mate… yeah… not cool. More people started gathering around us as I stood with the servant girl and tried to calm her down. It turned out that convincing someone that they weren’t in trouble was harder than it seemed. “I am terribly sorry,” I repeated myself. “He’s not acting like himself, I assure you, the reaction was nothing personal, he just has trigge

Lucius povJudging by the looks on their faces, I wasn’t nearly as good at hiding my emotions as I once thought I was. And now, the only thing I felt was pure disgust. It was a well-known fact that some men and women slept their way up the career ladder and ranks, but this. Well, this was low. A guard and Luna, who would have thought? I focused my attention on the scared guard and spoke as calmly as I could. “I didn’t come here to cause trouble, let’s get that straight. I came to check on the woman I sent here, so I would appreciate it if you could tell me what you meant by saying it was his idea. I promise no harm will come your way if you can be truthful.” The guard glanced at the very angry-looking friend. Clearly, the big-mouthed one wasn’t happy about his secret coming to light, but that was life and he had to deal with it. “You don’t have to tell him anything. As a member of this pack, you report only to Alpha and Luna or the only person who stands above them - the King,” th

Lucius povI couldn’t stop smiling as I watched the horror flash in her eyes. As soon as the question left me, she understood what she had done, how much she had fucked up, and most importantly - I knew. I knew the extent of her doings. Some of those things still didn’t make much sense to me, but I was sure I could break her and get the confession out of her. Her eyes darted everywhere but at me as Luna stuttered, “I-I don’t k-know what you’re t-talking about.” A part of me wondered if she understood how dumb she looked right now. There was no point in playing dumb anymore. I had gathered enough proof against this woman to burn her like a witch she was, if I pleased to do so. And honestly, one thing was clear - she was about to die. Soon. But first, I had to think of the most creative and tortuous ways in which to kill her. Women like her didn’t deserve a quick and easy exit after all the vile things she had done. No, she lived like a true star, doing the most damage she could, s

Eden pov Once they released me, both stood at my sides and helped me up. Then, they held me close as they led me out of the dark room and down the hall. I was right to assume they had brought me to a basement floor, because that was exactly where we were. As we walked up the stairs, they explained that I was taken by a group of hunters that had devoted their lives to saving humans that were stolen by the monsters. Holding back from laughing was getting harder with every step we took. The passion that laced their words made them sound like they were brainwashed for years to believe what they said. When we reached the main floor, I saw more humans running around, laughing and discussing things no outsiders should hear. For example, how they planned to attack a pack in a couple of hours or where some of the Alphas had gone. Those bits of information were supposed to be secret, but clearly, neither of them understood that. The real shock came when these two morons brought me to
