THIRD PERSON'S POVI got home that day, disappointed and angry. More angry than disappointed though.My pants weren't working out and it waa pissing me off. I had put too much into this plan to see it crumble right in front of me.When id got the new of Maximus’ death, I was dumbfounded. He was the one who I'd believed would carry everything out to perfection but he'd gone and gotten himself killed.It had taken a shit load of money and bribing and also killing one or two of his family members to finally get him on my side.Now that I'd finally gone through that stress, he goes ahead and gets himself killed.I wonder if the bastard said anything before he died. That would put me at serious risk.He wasn't even supposed to hold on to Roman's daughter. As soon as he kidnapped her, the instruction was to kill her but he wanted to be a proud bastard and that let Roman get to him.If he had just killed the little bitch like I asked him to ask soon as he got her from the airport, maybe he wo
EDENHe finally let me go. I don't know why but he just woke up one morning and came to my room with a slightly better expression than he has been wearing for the past few days.”What’s wrong?”Even though he hadn't said anything, he'd been acting weird for the past few weeks so my question was valid.“Nothing." He stood at the door, staring down at his feet “I just wanted to speak to you.”It was weird, considering how he had been avoiding me for the last week and basically running away from me whenever I tried to speak to him.“Is everything okay? Come in and shut the door.”He did and I sat up on the bed, trying to act like I didn't care about what he wanted to say when in fact, I'd been wondering when he'd come into my room and speak to me.After I'd moved out of his room because he refused to let me leave, he hadn't spoken to me much. That was partially my fault because whenever he wanted to speak to me, I always hit him up.“If you're not going to tell me why you don't want me to
ROMANA psychopathic murderer?Was that what she saw me as?Where I was thinking that I was doing my best for her and my family by protecting them and the only thing she would say was that I was a murderer?What was the whole point of anything then? Why did I even bother with her?It hurt me. It wasn't the fact that she had called me that that hurt but it was the fact that ’she’ had called me that. A lot of people had called me a lot of things and I didn't mind it because they didn't matter.But not her. Somehow, the fact that she has said it, made it seem true.Was she referring to what happened with Maximus? I thought I was doing her a favor.Lucian walked past me on my way to the office.”Alpha, I was looking for you. I wanted to tell you something.”“Forget that. Eden is leaving. I need you to help her get her things and put them in the car. Call the pilot and tell him to get everything ready.”“Oh, okay then. But I need to tell you something.”I was already angry and definitely n
EDENI didn't want to believe what I was hearing.I wish I hadn't heard it, I wish I hadn't come downstairs to apologise to him, I wish Alicia had dragged me back upstairs and told me to rest, I wish she didn't have the same horrified look on her face and I wish he hadn't seen the naked woman standing in Romans office when I pushed the door open..“Eden.”The woman laughed.“This is what you left me for? No wonder you're so uptight. She doesn't let you sleep with her, does she?"”Shut up, Elena.” He turned back to me. ”Eden."I felt light, which was weird because the tears were pushing against the dam, trying to break out but I pushed them back in.So her name was Elena.“Why should I shut up? What? You didn't tell her that I was there before she found her way into your life?”Her eyes turned to me and she dragged them down my body, looking at every inch of me before scoffing.”What a waste. I wonder how you satisfy him honestly. Are you sure that baby is his? I don't think so.”It was
ROMAN“Let’s go, Alicia. There's nothing left for me here.”She grabbed Alicia's hand and pulled her out of the room.“Eden! Eden, please wait.”She didn't. Why did it have to be today of all days that this would happen?”Eden, please wait.”She stopped but didn't turn around. Alicia and I made eye contact.”I’ll leave you guys to talk."I felt like my head was spinning and for the first time in my life, I felt confused, like I had no idea what to do and how to get out of this situation.I walked around to face her since she refused to look at me.“Eden please. You have to believe me. I had no idea that she got pregnant. I didn't know that she had a kid for me. I mean, it's not possible.”I knew that Elena was crazy and the fact that I hadn't even thought about her in the entirety of the five years that I hadn't been here says a lot.She had meant nothing to me. Back then, she was jusy a distraction to me and she knew it so I had no idea why she would appear after all these years and w
EDENThe flight home was silent.Not because I didn't want to speak but because I didn't know what to say. There was nothing to say.I was hurt.Hurt because I found out that the man I'd fallen in love with had fallen in love with me probably because I was the only one who made him have a release.I was embarrassed.Embarrassed because Alicia had been there to witness all that.I was confused.Confused because if what Elena had said was true, then how was Roman the father of Rowan? But then at the same time, the semblance between the both of them was too strong to deny. Even Roman couldn't deny that the boy was hit.I was shocked.Shocked to hear that Quinn and Roman had slept together and Roman didn't know about it because Quinn had refused to tell him. How many more secrets was she hiding?And overall, I was overwhelmed.I just sat in my seat, staring out of the window at the clouds, wanting to disappear.Alicia brought food and begged me to eat, but the more I stared at it, the more
ROMANIt had been a week since she left. Only two nights out if that has I slept or even rested.The remaining time, I used it to think of how morally I'd messed up. I should have told her about Elena, I would have but I didn't just think of her as important enough to mention.Not just that, I didn't even remember that she existed. Nothing had happened between us and I thought that I'd made it clear after so much time.I was on the edge, I was angry, frustrated, irritated and lacking sleep. To make things eurse, my relationship with Quinn had become so awkward that i had to relive her of her Beta duties for the mean time.Remembering that something like that had happened between us made me so uncomfortable and I didn't want to think about it and add it to the list of things that made me upset.But it did make me upset. The fact that I'd had sex with her and the fact that she knew and didn't tell me. If she had told me all thsoe years ago, we would have spoken about it and forgotten abo
THIRD PERSON POVI flung the magazine I was holding.“He did what?”“H-he threw her in the cell when she told him about the boy.”Well, that was not how I'd been expecting things to go.“And the boy? What's happened to him?”“He asked that the boy be brought to him. Right now, he lives with him."That was not how I'd planned for things to go. I thought that when he heard about his son, then he'd feel bad and ask Elena and Rowan to move in with him.Not for him to throw her into the Cell. With her in the cell, I won't be able to carry out my plan.I'd hoped that when she moved in with him, Eden will see this and move out in anger. That would cause a rift between them and that's when I'll come in.“And Eden? What about Eden? Is she still back at the pack?”“No, she returned to New York."Eden was back here? What exactly were these two planning?Did she know about Rowan and Elena? Surely she has to know right? No, no, no, this was not how I planned things to be.That stupid Elena couldn't
