ROMANI hated the look that was in her eye as I dressed up. As much as I didn't want to look at her because I knew that it would make me weak in the knees, I just couldn't bring myself not to.I knew her fears and I shared in her fears.No matter what happened out there today, I will make sure that I came back for her.I won't leave her to raise my kids alone. I won't leave her all alone with no one to help her. She needed to be cared for.As I held her, about to say my goodbye, there was a loud bang below us and I immediately pulled her into me to shield her from whatever it was.”What was that?! Roman!”I quickly got to my feet and dragged her into the bathroom.“Stay here, don't come out until it's all over."She refused to leave my hand.”Roman, please.”I kissed her like it was my last time.”I’ll be back, baby. I promise."I closed the door and ran out of the room, locking it behind me in case someone decided to come up here.The kids had been transported out of the house since
THIRD PERSON'S POVThe door blasted open as she stood in front of the mirror and she felt her heart drop in fear as she looked up to see the person who had done this.Emily stood at the door, her eyes red and her once blonde hair now completely black and wavy.“Emily.”How did she know that she was here?Eden moved away, trying to get to safety but she realized she just made herself look like a prey that was being chased and eventually put itself in a trap.”I’ve been looking for you, everywhere." She approached Eden, steadily taking steps.“What do you want from me? Why can't you just let my family and I be? Why have you been doing this?”She simply smiled and pushed the debris out of the way.“That question will answer a lot of things but then first off, I think we should have a warm up.”Eden was confused at what was going on until she saw it coming her way and her legs took her out of the way.As she fell by the toilet, the wall beside her had a gaping hole.“What the hell was tha
ROMANI stayed in my office that afternoon, after successfully stealing the baby away from Eden.She hadn't let me hold him yesterday and I felt starved. I never thought I would like babies this much. They were just so small and cute and quiet and cuddly.Unlike Belle who could now talk back. Ethan was even more bearable. Maybe all children should stay quiet for the rest of their lives. She was going to be like her mother when she grew up, that was for sure.I love looking at my son because I wondered what he would become later on. The fact that he was mine made things so much better.Not that I didn't love Ethan or like I didn't take him as mine. I love each of my children equally.I showered him around even though his eyes hadn't fully opened and I was sure he couldn't understand a thing I was saying but I took him around the office, showing him everything.The door opened and Henry walked in.“Hey. I was wondering where you were.”I laughed.“I went on a little show and tell with R
EDENI couldn't understand what was going on.After everything that had happened, I'd been struggling with very gruesome dreams where I'd see death and I ended up waking up bathed in sweat. I was hallucinating, I had no appetite and for some reason, I hated my baby.Since the dreams started, I hadn't carried him for up to an hour. Whenever Roman came in to take him away, I didn't fight him anymore. I just let him do what he wanted and he didn't bring the baby back until he wanted to be breastfed or it was nightfall already.Even when the baby was being breastfed, I told him to wait so he could take him back. Thankfully, Roman hadn't noticed yet because he was still in the obsession stage.He looked at that baby like he was his entire life and I banked on that to get some peace of mind. I could barely come out of my room. I didn't want to embarrass myself because I saw something and I screamed.Everything frightened me and it looked like it was going to get me. The fear that came from
EDENI needed help. Badly.When I gave birth to Belle, I was suicidal but it wasn't like this. I guess the fact that I was navigating child birth alone and for the first time as well, I had some crazy thoughts. I was very scared about what was going to happen.But luckily, I had Alicia and that was enough. But this time around, I don't know if it was the trauma of the events of the last few months but I knew that I was feeling something different this time around.Not only was I suicidal but I was feeling very murderous. I didn't want Roman around me and every time he came around me with that baby, I wanted to tell him to take himself and the baby out of my face.He was saying I said things I didn't remember saying. Like when Belle fell down from the table and he said that it was because of me, I didn't remember saying that.I'd black out for hours and then wake up with no recollection of what happened and then Roman would come and say that I did something. I didn't even know what to
EDENI looked to Roman for help as Ethan begged me.“Um, mummy actually can't go with you right now. She has some important work to do and she can't take you along but I'm here. Daddy's here. We can go to the water park.”He knew how much Ethan loved the water park.His face fell.“Okay, don't stay too long. Daddy plays rough.”Roman faked being hurt and came to snatch him from the ground.As he laughed, I looked at my children and couldn't imagine leaving them behind. But I had to . For their own safety.Tears gathered in my eyes and I had to walk out of the room so they wouldn't see me crying.Roman would ask me if something was wrong and I didnt want him to. I just ran into the room and fell on the bed in tears.“What am I going to do?”I wanted to speak to someone about this but I didn't know who to talk to. They might not understand and they may think that I would hurt my children even though I would never do that in a million years.The door opened and I thought it was Roman but
EDENI felt eyes on me as soon as I entered the pack house. The hairs on the back of my neck stand due to how uneasy I was. The whispers in the larger room got louder the further I walked in.They didn’t hide that they were gossiping about me. Laughing behind their hands, or even to my face and turning to whisper to their friends.My fingernails dig into my palm. The pain doesn’t distract me from the unease I could feel trickling down my spine.You’d think I’ll get used to this from how long it has been happening.This is the norm. But I was feeling in the back of my mind that there was something else.I shouldn’t let them get to my head. My birthday is in a few minutes and I would rather not ruin it by paying attention to their bullying.And the faster I leave this place, the better it would be for me.Being an omega was already bad enough. They were usually weak. But I was even weaker than most. I have never met my wolf and I’m turning eighteen in a few minutes.I’m hoping I’ll fina
EDENThe hallway was dark, which was not usual. Willow didn’t like to come up to a dark hallway so the lights were always on.I tripped over nothing and came falling down. Pain surged through my elbow and knees, which braced my unfortunate fall.Loud and obnoxious laughter from behind makes me realize I wasn’t alone. Almost the entire people downstairs had come up with me.What did they want? They aren’t usually this interested in me unless they wanted to bully me.Deciding to ignore them, I picked myself up and dusted my hands. Staring at the ground wouldn’t help me see any better. So it is better I move on.The whispers and laughter comes to a halt when I’m by the door.That feeling of unease returns, this time it is much worse than before. Something churns in my belly and I let out an involuntary shudder. My hands tremble again. I exhale a shaky breath and shake my head. Nothing is going to happen.Why was I feeling anxious? Is it the fear that I wouldn’t get my wolf and Ryker will
