ALPHA SCOTT
We had arrived at the Midnight pack and the wolves there seemed welcoming even if I felt like an outcast in the pack.
I stood while I observed the son of Maverick. He looked different from his father, greedy to be exact.
The look on the face of his to be Luna was cool and collected, something didn't just sit right even if I tried to deny it.
It was something I had never felt before. They both had the same color of eyes which was ocean blue but the color of their hair differs.
As we walked towards a building, members of the pack did halt at whatever they were doing to bow and greet us in respect. Alpha Hercules had a strong build and he seemed authoritative.We had ended up going to have lunch that had been prepared massively and arranged in the huge and furnished dining table.The table had a different kind of aroma that only seemed to make my tummy grumble loudly.
As we had our meal, I tried to study the future Alpha of the Midnight pack. He seemed like a tricky person who seemed dumb while his father was a more jovial and ruling Alpha.
I was beginning to have a bad feeling but seeing Eden sit opposite me was irresistible.
Her grey hair glistened, and she seemed engrossed in the food that she was eating. She was not a short or tall lady, we can say an average height which suited her perfectly well."Stop thinking about her figure, you pervert!" I mind-linked my wolf who wouldn't stop talking about her perfect figure in my head.
I immediately made contact with her ocean blue eyes and that had made me gulp the whole content of my cup down my throat.
My palm had gone instantly sweaty while my heart wouldn't stop thumping very hard beneath my chest.
We again stared at each other, it felt like we were the only one sitting on the table. Everything felt like a connection but wasn't this wrong?How could I feel this way for someone else, mate? My wolf seemed to be in paradise as he won't stop howling happily in my head.
I wanted to ask her if she felt exactly what I was feeling but I just couldn't because she was Alpha Hercules to be Luna.
All I did was eat and stare at the one thing I had been looking for all this years.My one and only mate.•
••EDEN POV
I rolled my eyes at the food In front of me because I knew that pairs of eyes were googling at me and its slightly felt uncomfortable.
I was trying so hard to block out whatever connection I was having with Scott, I had heard so many tales about him but never had I thought that he was….I tried not to stare at him because he had a beautiful set of eyes and lips of course. He had a small ring piercing on the side of his lips which was strangely hot, and his hair looked so soft and curly.I blinked my eyes before letting out a cough. Hercules was handsome and I loved him but Scott was cute, guys that looked cute were my weakness but I didn't want to hurt Hercules by gapping at this stranger in front of me.
"How did you find your mate, Eden?" The deep but soothing voice of Scott questioned, making me swallow hard. Why was he asking me that question all of a sudden? Should I stay put or should I wait for Hercules to help me out by saying something?What if he thought I was a weirdo? Why do I even care about what he thinks? "Just tell him that you were freaking obsessed with Hercules to a point where you have to paint and talk about him every single day." My wolf said.I had just gotten my wolf recently, my wolf had been weak and I had just shifted recently.
"I can't say that, he would definitely think that I have gone crazy," I responded to my wolf.
"So?" He asked yet again as I swallowed the huge lump in my throat.
I had never imagined this kind of situation, why didn't I even prepare so much in case of something like this?I gave a small smile before deciding to respond to his question.
"Uhmm, we both just happen to have genuinely fallen head over heels for each other and I think I have made a great choice of picking Eden here to power this pack together!" Hercules' voice came finally. "That's great, I think I have had my full!" He said, I watched him push the plate forward before leaving the table.For a weird reason, I had a frown on my face. My gaze slowly landed on Hercules who flashed me a comforting smile which I returned.
I slowly gaped at my food while my fork played with the steaks on my plate. I tried to concentrate but it seemed hard, I had never thought of a real mate.I had always thought that Hercules was the one for me, ever since I was of a young age till now. I had always thought that there was this connection between Hercules and I but he never seemed to return any form of love until lately.
My cousins and friends had found their own mate at age eighteen but mine was different because I thought Hercules was always the one.Meeting Scott today had made everything entirely difficult. I hadn't felt this much pull before and just the stares Scott gave me drove me crazy,
I wasn't supposed to be having such thought because my future was now with Hercules and no one else.
Maybe rejecting Scott would end up being the best idea.
"I might be having a stomach upset, please excuse me!" I said before walking away.
"Hey sweetie, are you okay?" The familiar voice I had known for year's said making me turn swiftly after taking few breath to calm my thought.
"Hey dad, why weren't you at the lunch?" I responded with a small smile."Couple of workloads as always!" He said while I watched him crack his muscles.
"Dad, why don't you just retire already? I know that Hercules won't mind at all and moreover, you need all the rest in the world." I said walking towards his shoulders to knead them nicely."I don't think I can retire right now when Hercules's dad is still sick. The pack is in a mess and I can only do what you are asking after there is much progress!" He said as I watched him turn to face me.
"Elliott?" The deep voice that I recognized said gaining both I and Dad's attention.
"Alpha Scott, it's been a long time since we last saw." My father said with so much respect.
"I'm glad we met, I hadn't had the chance to thank you for your help last time!" Scott had said to my father and I couldn't help but be more curious.
"Sorry, this is my daughter Eden and this is Alpha Scott!" My father had introduced but we both said nothing to each other leaving a very silent tone.I stood there trying to avoid the stares of Scott but he caught me by surprise when he walked towards me.He held my hands before placing a soft kiss on the back of my palm. I slowly watched him from the corner of my eyes because the bond at that moment was incredible and my wolf wouldn't stop screaming and jumping in my head.
I wiggled my head before pulling my hands from his grip.
I could notice the hurt look on his face but that only made me chuckle internally.
He was also affected by the bond which was an amazing feeling but I needed to reject him fast because everything felt wrong.
I couldn't hurt Hercules.
ALPHA SCOTT"You must have something clearly important to discuss, Alpha Scott," Beta Elliot said.Of course, I had something important to discuss with him but how do I break this to him?How do I tell him that his gorgeous daughter, I mean sexy daughter with killer torso was my fucking mate? I took some silent breaths before grabbing the wine cup that was poured a few minutes ago while I gulped the whole content down my throat. "I never knew you had a daughter," I said, the moment I set the cup down. My words must have gotten his attention as a small smile crept at each corner of his lips proudly."She is your mate?" He asked and that had left me stunned for a few moments. "Yes, your daughter happens to be my mate!" I had let out hoping that he would say something cool. "I know that you might be planning on rejecting her which is fine by me!" He uttered and that made my wolf growl angrily. "I would have thought about that Elliot but I have been searching for a mate to complete
ALPHA SCOTT Alpha Hercules has been glaring at me strangely ever since the night party started. Has he clued everything up that his Luna was my mate? I tried to brush the thought up as I sipped my bear with my men. The gathering was decorated nicely with a lot of food, snacks, drinks, and sweets to go around a thousand times. I felt the right thing was to reject Eden and maybe there is a second mate for me somewhere. "This is so lit and I don't mind having this kind of party in our pack!" One of my guards said to another while I gulped my beer and thought about what to say to Eden tonight.I didn't want to drink but my wolf won't stop talking non-stop after he realized what I planned on doing tonight. I knew that he was angry but he was bound to understand later on. "We both know that you don't want to do this, why then would you hurt us?" My Wolf purred in my head angrily. "I know you can't stop thinking of her succulent lips, and those ocean-blue eyes." He added, making me sh
ALPHA HERCULES"Alpha?" The voice came gaining my attention from the important guest I was discussing with. I scowl looking at him through my ocean-blue eyes. "What do you want?" "Speak Neo, what you have to say must be quite important to disrupt this influential conversation," I said while I stared at him anticipating his next words. There is nothing I hated more than being bothered unnecessarily."Forgive me Alpha but it's an emergency!" I Watched him say."What is so important that I can't wait till the party's over?" I queried, already getting irritated and furious. "One of the maids had gone to Lady Eden's room to get her but found a lady known to be Lilian coated in her own blood." He said with a respectful bow. My hand started to ball in a fist while I clasped the glass cup in my hand tightly. Neo knew about both I and Lilian's relationship. My dad wasn't fully supportive of what we have, I had managed to keep it hidden from my father and the whole pack members.The loo
EDEN POVHe had asked a simple question but it had been so difficult for me to answer. His lips were so soft against mine, he seemed to be kissing my lips with so much intensity.I slowly threw my hands over his broad shoulders, it felt like the world had ended at that moment and we were both the only ones pretty left alone. His hands slowly walked around the back of my head to get me closer enough for him to kiss me harder. His wet and fruity-scented mouth slipped itself below my bottom lips but I rapidly pushed him away the minute I remembered Hercules. We both seemed to be breathing heavily for air, I instantly felt like I was suffocating and needed water. My eyes shut softly, afraid to stare him in the eyes because I knew he was staring at me. "We shouldn't have done that, I'm the future Luna of this pack and what I have done is wrong!" I finally said even if my wolf was against me pushing Scott away."I have known you to be a legend since I was a child, you were known to be
WARNING!!This chapter may contain torture and murder. Thanks for understanding.°°°THIRD PERSON POV"I wonder what is going through your head right now knowing that you might end up dead in seven minutes, what exactly are you thinking about?" The man under the mask asked but got no response."Your family? Your friends? Who exactly? Or maybe you might be thinking of how much you want to know who this is and how you might want to kill me?" He asked Eden."Alright, let's make this easy and interesting for you!" He said, taking off his mask. Eden's eyes went wide open when she noticed that it was Hercules. How couldn't she recognize anything about him?"Hercules?" She called, stunned."Ouch, you are hurt right?" He asked with a bit of disgust on his face. "Alright, I think that's enough welcoming already," he said, pulling out a scalpel from his bag.He gently and slowly climbed the bed before pushing the side of her hair from her face.He edged towards her ears before whispering.
"Alright, I would just start with your father and allow your imagination to run wild, I want you to imagine and let the pain sink in for a long time!" He said, chuckling loudly. 10 seconds left"You fucking monster, I would fucking kill you!" Eden yelled in frustration while she tried hard to set herself loose. Eden's eyes popped out while she watched Hercules walk towards her father. She began to scream but he wasn't bothered, "Stay away from him, dammit." She yelled. 0 SECONDS So many noises of her trying to free herself from the ropes, but it was no use. Hercules walked closer towards Elliot before pulling out a knife. "Last chance to tell me why you killed my son," Hercules said, holding the knife, warningly. "I didn't kill your son, I swear!" Eden yelled with tears streaming down her face."We're out of time!" Hercules declared before plunging the knife into Elliott's chest. Eden's chest heaved as she tried to block the screams of agony that echoed throughout the room. "
Eden laid on the bare ground, tears streaming down her face as she begged for a rebirth and her plea echoed in the universe. She had gone through so much pain and suffering, and she couldn't take it anymore.The desperation for a new life was evident in her voice. But whether her request for a rebirth would be granted or not, one thing was clear. She had a resilient spirit.The trials and tribulations she had faced had taken a toll on her, but she refused to give up. Her experiences of rejection, ridicule, and loss had scarred her deeply, yet she held onto the hope that a fresh start would provide her with the happiness and love she craved.With tears still flowing, she poured out her heart, baring her vulnerabilities to the world. It was a cathartic release, a moment of vulnerability that allowed her to confront her pain and express her desires for a better life. She knew that a new beginning wouldn't erase all her past traumas, but it would grant her an opportunity to create a fu
Eden found herself standing in a serene meadow, bathed in golden sunlight. The scent of wildflowers filled the entire air, and a gentle breeze brushed against her skin. As she looked around, she saw a figure approaching in the distance. As the figure drew nearer, Eden's heart skipped a beat. It was her father, who had passed away right in front of her. His warm smile and loving eyes filled her with a sense of comfort and nostalgia"Father!" Eden called her face curled up in happiness.Tears welled up in Eden's eyes as she rushed into her father's warm and open arms. She could feel his embrace, solid and reassuring. It felt like he never left her side."Father, I don't know how you are standing here with me but I'm happy that you are right here with me," Eden said the moment they pulled out of the embrace. "Oh darling, I have never left your side!" Her father responded while his hands caressed her face tenderly. "I might not be with you physically but I would always watch over you
