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
EDEN“And? Is he picking up yet?”I had come over to Alicia’s house after work to speak to her. She sounded so worried and I didn’t like the fact that she was crying.I removed the phone from my ear, cursing under my breath at Henry.“No, he didn’t.”I didn’t even know what to say to her because it was very weird for him to do something like this. One thing that Alicia had always prided herself in was the fact that he was always with his phone and he would always pick up at every time. She has always joked that he was more married to his phone than her.“Do you know what country he traveled to?”She took a moment to clean her breath and wipe her nose before answering.“Um” Her voice was shaky. “No, when I asked him about it, I can't even remember what he said but I got distracted and I didn't end up hearing his answer.”I sighed and crossed the room to where she sat.‘I’m sure everything is fine. He may end up calling you this evening and telling you how bad the connection was. Henry i
EDENThere was no way I could sit still after what Belle said.I packed everything up. I thought to wait, maybe he was truly busy like Lucian had said but he still hadn't called back and this time around, his phone was turned off.The mind link wasn't going through and as hard as I tried to see him, it just wasn't going through. It was like there was something blocking me.I had to apologise to Alicia for not think that something was wrong. I just didn't want her to worry after everything that had happened. She needed to rest.But seeing as we now both know that something is wrong, there was no way she was resting. Infact, she had opted to come back to the pack with me.In order to find Henry, we needed to get across to Roman and find out why the hell he wasn't picking up his calls. Roman would help us find Henry.My heartbeat as I thought about going back. Only just a month ago, I'd packed my kids and my six months pregnant self and come back here and now, here I was going back.It
EDENI was silent throughout the entire flight. I wasn't sure what exactly to think but I knew there was something on my mind.My body was telling me that I was stood pregnant to be loving around like this. I had just come back from the oacknand now I was son my way back again.Not only was it taking a toll on my body but it was also affecting the kids. Ethan had just started school and I had to pull him out for a family emergency and I was beginning to think that I would have to find a babysitter if these issues persist.I didn't want to have to look for one, I hoped that I would have to move around like this again. I was very close to giving birth and the last thing I should be doing was going around cities that were thousands of miles away from each other.I'd wanted to turn in my resignation letter at work. I was smoking around too much and Roman wasn't around to tell the chairman whatever it was that he had told him before or do what he had done that let him make me go off for mo
ROMANI should go to New York. She was with my kids and I couldn't concentrate knowing that my future was hanging by a thread.But I had messed up bigtime. I just didn't think that telling her about Elena was important since my thing with her ended a long time ago.Being without her for so long was pure torture and I had to endure it because I didn't want to push too hard.But I missed them so damn much and I didn't want this baby to be born in my absence. I'd made that mistake with Belle and she'd spent the first five years of her life without me.I won't let this happen with this kid.There was a knock on the door and before I could respond, it opened. There was only one person who did that.“Roman, I need to speak with you.”I looked at Quinn, as she marched in and closed the door.“Quinn, not now please. I'm busy and-"“Just listen to me please.”I'd been avoiding having the conversation with her since that day and that was why I gave her time off, hoping that we'd never have to
