EDENThat voice made me freeze and my heart beat faster in my chest. A familiar scent caught my nose and I thought hard about its origin. Suddenly, I started seeing flashes of what I seemed to have forgotten. Flashes of that night. But it was all blurry that I couldn’t really say I got anything tangible. “How dare you?! What the hell are you doing here?!” I heard the Alpha’s loud voice rumble through the house filled with so much anger.I've never heard him speak like that with anybody. Not even me. I could see the deep frown on the Alpha's face and the way he was shouting at the top of his voice. Almost baring his teeth, made me wonder who it was that he was speaking to.I couldn't help the uncomfortable feeling that I felt in the pit of my stomach.Nelly was standing in front of me so I had to look past her legs to try to see what was going on in front but I still couldn’t see since I was seated. “I’m telling you, Roman. Get the hell out of my pack before I lose it!”A loud lau
ROMANWe’ve been sitting in silence for almost ten minutes.Tim kept drinking water like a whale and it was starting to piss me off. I was sitting with someone whose head I've wanted since I'd grown up to know what hatred was. My father wanted his throat. Both of them had been at it since the beginning of time and I’d never known why but all I'd been told was that my father said to kill him as soon as I had the chance. It has been like that since his grandfather and his grandfather’s grandfather.The two families were like water and oil. They never mix. They never come to an agreement.And I was going to put all that behind us and slit his throat right now if he doesn’t stop drinking that damned water. “What the fuck is your problem?” I snapped, when I finally lost my patience. “Take what you want and leave.” He replied immediately. Like he had been waiting for me to speak. How stupid did he really think I was? I should take her so he'd ambush me when I least expect it? No way.
EDEN The Alpha came into my room two nights later with the same signature scowl in his face. I hadn't been expecting him to be here since I hadn't seen him all day. I even thought he’d left and I was relieved. After all, Nelly and Ryker’s wedding was happening this weekend and he had barely been around all week since he had things to discuss with that pervert.So when he walked into my “room” that night, my heart almost grew twice in size because of fear. “Good evening, Alpha.” Of course he didn't respond. That disgusted look he gave me every time he saw me didn't fail to show itself today.“The Lycan has decided that your marriage will be arranged for this weekend.” What? What was he talking about? What wedding?“What wedding? Who's wedding?” I stuttered.“You are going to marry the man you got pregnant for, you whore!” No. He had to be joking. I couldn't marry him! That would make me bound to him forever. I thought he just wanted the baby, I thought the baby was his desire so
EDEN Nothing would prepare me for the events that would take place leading up to the doomed wedding. One of the guards came down one day while I was preparing to come up for the day.“Pack your bags. You're coming with me.” That was all he said and before proceeding up the stairs like a robot. Maybe it was a mistake. I had thought to myself.I didn't have any bags to pack and also, I hadn't seen this guy before. What was Nelly planning this time? Or was it the Alpha? When I was still standing in that same spot, he came back down and we entered a staring contest. ”Come with me, the Alpha is waiting.” He sounded pissed off. When I heard that, the thought that the Alpha was calling me and I was wasting so much time crossed my mind and I really didn't want any more punishments. My body was getting too weak for that so I just stuffed a few things in my bag and went with the guard. Where were we going? And why did he ask me to pack a bag? I followed the guard in silence till we go
EDENSomehow, I’d been able to keep track of the days, so I knew today was Friday. The day before the wedding.Rather, the day before my life got completely ruined.The ride to this pack took a few days since it was at the far end of the state due to disputes regarding the borders between werewolves and Lycans.Initially, I didn’t know where I was being taken to until the lady said that I didn’t have to look so scared here because I was in the pack of the Lycan King.We arrived at night so I didn’t get the chance to properly see anything or anybody. She just put me in this room and asked me to tell the guards at the door if I needed something or if I wanted to see her.This room was huge. I had my own very soft bed, my own bathroom and windows. I’d also been eating very well and not just scraps. I didn’t know if it was because I was pregnant or because I was pregnant for the King.If that made any sense.The night I arrived, I slept on the floor, thinking that the bed was reserved for
EDEN I felt like a doll. Raven and three other women had come into my room a few minutes after Roman left. I was still standing there looking like a frightened child when they walked in. They scrubbed, cleaned and shaved every part of my body. It was like I had dirt even where I didn't know there could be dirt. And they cleaned it because I felt squeaky clean after. I just sat there and let them do their thing because I couldn't even argue. The realization that I had fallen into a trap that I couldn't get out of was hitting me by the minute and I couldn’t form two words in my head to say to anyone. With the way I was being pushed and pulled, I could feel the baby bouncing inside me. The baby. One thing that troubled me even more than what was going on was the fact that whenever I referred to the baby, I always called her a she. Roman doesn't want a daughter. What was j going to do if the baby turned out to be a girl? He'd kill me. I was sure of it. “I’ll come back tomo
EDEN I jolted awake some hours after. The clock in front of me read ten minutes past twelve. What to do? I ran to the window to check if the people I had seen earlier were still outside arranging things for the wedding but it was empty, they had all gone to bed. Everyone had gone to sleep. This was the perfect time to make my move. I was sure the guards were still outside my door so first, I had to go past them first. Roman thought he was punishing me when he forced that ring into my finger last night.“You had better make sure it's a boy. Or else, you die.” I nodded my head quickly.I'd always known the things I said would get me into trouble but I never thought that it'd be this soon. “The wedding is tomorrow. It would be in your best interest to shut your mouth and do as you're told. If you dare embarrass me…” I knew what he was going to say. I would die He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. He held up a ring with a moderately big diamond and threw i
EDENI should have taken a flashlight or something that would bring light. Now that I was in the woods, I had to stretch out my arms so I wouldn't bump into a tree. The moonlight was bright but I had poor eyesight so I still needed extra help. The woods were very thick and dark and coupled with the fact that I was afraid of the dark, things weren't looking very good right now. But I couldn't stop for any reason. I had to keep walking as fast as I could because if anyone found out that I was no longer at the house, Roman would hear it in a heartbeat and he would send every guard he had after me. I made the mistake of not running away once, it wasn't going to happen again.I picked up my pace to avoid the chances of me being caught. I heard a twig snap behind me but when I turned around to check, there was no one there. All the more reason I had to pick up the pace. Everything in me had a feeling I was going to get caught but I tried to put that thought at the back of mind. It wa
