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
EDENAs much as I didn't want to see him, I had to. Henry was still out there and I didn't know where he was. Alicia was losing her mind with worry.I made my way downstairs that evening, being the first time I'd come out from my room since I arrived. Belle and Ethan slept with me since Roman's son had taken over their room.I didn't want to see him. Was Elena here too? I didn't have the strength to deal with all that so I just stayed away.The fact that I wasn't seeing anything concerning Henry wasn't helping matters. I wasn't sure what was wrong but I really needed something. Anything that will give Alicia hope.There was someone sitting on the couch and it wasn't him.”Quinn” I called her name lightly because I was still wondering whether I actually wanted to speak to herI wasn't mad at her, it won't make sense to be mad at her for something out of her control. It wasn't her fault and I'd feel bad if Roman was mad at her.She turned to look at me, dropping the magazine and coming
ROMAN“So you're saying Henry is missing?”She nodded, folding her hands on her belly and breathing deeply, the fatigue on he face very evident.“Yes, we've been trying to reach him but nothing is working. It's been over a month since he left. He'd never just cut of communication with his family like that. I know something is wrong."I nodded, trying to make sense of the situation.“So what do you need me to do?"”I need you to help track his flight? You can do that right? We don't even know where he went so we can start looking for him there. All he said was that he had international business.”Hmmm, was he hiding something? That's the only condition for him to not tell Alicia where he was going. That's okay. I'll do what I can to find him.“So, is that the only reason you came back? To find Henry?”Her expression changed and she looked away from me, like she had something to hide.“No, I came back because the kids needed to see their dad too. Belle was beginning to ask questions an
