EdaThe days passed and I grew more comfortable at the Scarlet Pack. Peelle or Alita were always by my side, their parents Claudia and Evan seemed to adore me, I even met some of the other high ranked members and their families and they liked me as well. The only problem that remained was… Osborn.He looks at me from afar, but never tries to engage with me.My patience is growing thin, and I know that I need to step up if I want him. So, today, I’m going to talk to him.I walk to his office door and knock on it and take a deep breath as I wait for him to tell me to come in. Once I hear his voice, butterflies erupt in my stomach. My palms sweat and I hope that this won’t be a mistake.I walk in with my head held tall as I say, “Alpha, I thought it was time that I properly introduce myself. My name is Eda.”He stares at me, but his expression is unreadable. He doesn’t look happy, angry, or upset. I wish I knew what he was thinking.Suddenly, he snarls at me as he asks, “Why have you com
EdaI sit by myself in my room. I feel frustrated and numb. Even though it’s dinner time, I’m unaffected by hunger. My mind continues to race as I think about Osborn.After being kissed like that… I don’t know if I could live without him. I truly want to believe that I would be able to be happy with just Peelle, but I don’t know if that’s true.Peelle gives me everything I could want; he’s the sweet best friend type of guy and I know he cares deeply for me. Meanwhile, Osborn is the closed off one that seems to be brewing with dominance and passion.There’s a knock on my door and I’m not surprised by the scent of cinnamon. It’s Peelle.I open the door and force a smile, but he can see right through me. He asks, “Are you okay?”I nod, “I’m fine, Peelle.”He crosses his arms and I notice the ripples of his muscles underneath his shift. He says sternly, “I don’t believe you.”I breathe out as I shake my head, “I don’t want to talk about it.”“Then, let’s not talk. How about we go for a wa
EdaMy mother smiles as she says, “You are mated to the Alpha of the Scarlet Pack? You are mated to Evan and Claudia’s son?”I bite my tongue, so I don’t correct her by saying ‘son’s’ it’s bad enough that she knows that Osborn is my mate.She shakes her head as she lets out an unhinged laugh. She then opens the door and calls out, “Master Wraith! Master Wraith!”There’s a pit in my stomach as I watch the door to see him come in. He looks annoyed already. He looks at me like I’m the dirt on the bottom of his shoes. My mother says, “Master, she is mated to the Alpha. She can help us get our hands on a true elf.”His smile grows wide, and he says, “I always knew you would be good for something. We’ll send her and the girl on their way. Eda, we will be watching you. Make sure to give us an opportunity to get the Alpha out on his own.”My eyes flicker between my mother and Master Wraith. I know I can’t argue with him if I do it will only cause pain for either me or Alita. I nod my head slo
PeelleI’m so relieved that Eda is okay. I bring her up to her room and she says she wants to take a shower, so I told her I’d get some food and drinks for her.In reality, I want to take this moment to talk with Osborn. His kiss shocked all of us and I really need to speak with him before I have a night with Eda.After her disappearance, I knew that I wanted to mark her. I need to make sure that she is mine and that I’ll always have a way to communicate with her.I walk to his room and knock on the door. He doesn’t answer immediately, he knows it’s me and he doesn’t know if he wishes to speak with me at the moment.Finally, he says, “Come in.”I walk in and say, “I’d like to speak to you, brother.”“I don’t know why I kissed her.” He says without me even needing to ask. I stand with my hands behind my back as I watch him. He walks around his room slowly as he says, “All this time, I thought I wouldn’t be able to trust her and then… suddenly, I realized I was wrong.”Osborn turns to f
EdaThe morning comes, my eyes open as I stare at the ceiling. There’s a heavy arm draped over me, and the scent of cinnamon fills the air. My heart stops as I remember what we did.My hand instinctively touches my neck and my eyes clench shut. Shit. How could I have let this happen?Peelle is sweet and perfect and everything I wanted in a mate. But I just put his life in danger. If Master Wraith finds out that Peelle wears my mark, he won’t hesitate to capture him.Peelle pulls me closer to him and breathes in deeply and he’s half asleep as he murmurs, “Goddess, you smell divine.”I don’t respond. I don’t think he knows that I’m awake.I could always come clean. I could tell Peelle about my mother and Master Wraith and their plans. I’m sure that Peelle would find a way to forgive me and help me. But… Osborn. If Osborn found out I bet that he wouldn’t hesitate on kicking me out of the pack because I’ve put him and his family in danger.I want to scream, there’s no good way out of this
AlitaEveryone seems to forget the fact that I can read their minds. I know what’s going on with Eda, as much as she tries to hide it.I don’t think I should interfere, it’s not my place. She has good intentions and she doesn’t want to go back or go along with Master Wraith’s plans.Osborn and Eda are finally getting close. They go on runs together daily and for the most part they seem to enjoy one another’s company. There are times when they come home and they’re both irritated with the other one, but overall… they seem happy.Peelle and Eda are in perfect bliss with one another. Neither of them ever get upset by the other, the only issue they seem to have is the lingering guilt that Eda feels since she hasn’t told him the truth.I hope that Eda and Osborn will be able to work everything out. They both have a darkness about one another, and I think they could easily be too alike and repel one another, but if they learn how to work together they could be a great pairing.I don’t know
EdaMy ears are ringing when I wake up. I blink rapidly as my eyes try to adjust to the light and I look around to see Osborn on the ground beside me.I move over to his side and see that he has a black eye that can’t heal because of the poison they’ve used. I wonder if they took a cheap shot while he was unconscious or if he woke up and tried to fight.The door opens, but we’re in a cell. I look up to see one of the workers that I recognize. He smiles when he sees me awake and says, “You did a great job, Eda, Master Wraith is proud of you.”I hear Osborn’s voice and it’s deep yet it wavers when he asks, “What does that mean?”I turn towards him, his eyes are blazing with fury and I can hear the worker suck in air between their teeth and then the door shuts as he leaves the room.My body is frozen as I stare at Osborn. He pushes himself up off of the ground and stands, towering over me, as he states, “You betrayed me.”My breathing is heavy as I say, “I can explain.”He growls, “You b
EdaI have never felt pain like the kind I felt with whatever injection my mom put in my neck. It was like lava filled my bloodstream making my entire body want to burst from the heat.I can’t focus on what’s being said between Osborn and Master Wraith, I’m in too much shock. Master Wraith calls me a ‘good girl’ and then he and my mother leave the room. My legs can’t hold my weight anymore and I crumble to the ground.Osborn walks out of the cell and I wonder when it got unlocked. He looks at me, his eyebrows furrowed, his mouth in a deep frown, and yet, he leans down and picks me up. My head falls against his chest and for a moment I feel safe.The steady sound of his heartbeat helps me to relax. The sound of his footsteps echoes as he leaves the building and walks toward the Scarlet Pack.He asks, “Is that where they stay?”I shake my head no, “They change locations frequently. Now that you know about this one it is likely that they’ll never come back to it.”His lips press together
