EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-SIX
Eden povI gaped at the audacity this woman had. She caught me off guard so bad, I was speechless. Heck, even Titus was, and he always had some snarky remark ready to use. My body felt like jelly at this point, so I clung on Titus for dear life. The Alpha looked as dumbfounded as I felt and Lucius, well, he had a scowl on his face, but he didn’t react even as my step-mother kept blabbering nonsense. All that came out of her mouth was more lies about how great Kayla was and how lucky any man would be to have her as theirs. At one point, I felt like I was about to pass out. My heart hammered in my chest, but I couldn’t understand if it was because of the anger I felt or if it was the shock. Once Lucius cleared his throat, she finally shut up. The entire office became deathly silent as she looked up at my mate as if he had promised her to hang the moon. Slowly, he wrapped his fingers around her wrist and moved her hand away from him. “One warning. That is all I am willing to give y
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-SEVEN
Lucius povAs I stood from my seat, I held Eden close to my chest and nodded at the Alpha. Titus didn’t move from his place even when I stopped by the door. “Oh, I almost forgot there is one more detail I need to point out.” Slowly, I turned around and glared at the step-monster. She cast her gaze down to her feet, surely to hide the displeased look on her face. I knew that bitch had to be planning something. “What is it?” The Alpha asked. I didn’t look at the ill man simply because I had a feeling that he had no part in the madness his wife had created behind his back. With a wide smile on my lips, I spoke. “I need the financial documents. Don’t get ahead of yourself because I’m not asking for anything pack related. Yet. For now, I need the reports of where my mates money has been spent so far and if it’s still being used. I am aware that her parents left quite hefty wealth behind and all was supposed to go to Eden. However, I don’t see any money or cards on her.” As the words l

Eden povLucius insisted we head to the hotel, but as soon as the building came into view, he drove right past it. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but once he parked in front of a luxurious-looking building, I needed answers. As it turned out, he was serious about the pool party he had demanded. He insisted it would happen, so he dragged me through the stores to buy me a swimming suit for the occasion. Only when he felt happy with the choice and found a pair of shorts did we head to the hotel. Everyone around us treated Lucius as a Royalty even without knowing who he was. He explained it with the greed that possessed them as soon as they saw his bank card. According to Lucius, people were wary of him, but as soon as money became a part of their interactions, everyone tried to suck up to him to get more of what he had. By the time we got to the hotel and entered the room, I felt so low on energy, all I wanted was the comfort of bed and a couple hours of sleep. Lucius helped m
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-NINE
Eden povLucius sighed and tightened his hold around me. “How about we leave it for later, then? For when things aren’t as crazy as they are today and we return back home? Then, we can start working on a training plan and some self-defense lessons for you. If being too weak is what you truly fear, let me tell you one thing...” He brought one of his hands to my chin and tilted my head so our eyes met. “You are far from weak, my love. Someone who was forced to crawl to hell and back is anything but weak. While you base your value and strength on who you are, you dismiss so many important details it’s a little sad. It gets worse when you put yourself down like this. Just because so many people mistreated and abused you in the past doesn’t mean you have to treat yourself the way they did. You are so much better than that.” I couldn’t explain the things his words did to me. No one had ever seen me like Lucius did. He saw me for me, not the things I had been called. Although his assuranc
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SIXTY
Lucius povAfter our conversation, we managed to fall asleep. Eden passed out nearly instantly while I spent a couple of minutes staring at her sleep like a stalker. I knew that I dumped a lot on her shoulders, but those things had to be spoken about, and I needed for her to understand my position. Technically, I had given her more time than I had the right to. As the King, I had to mark my mate as soon as I found her, fully mate her within three days and by now, we should be expecting an heir. Our situation was tricky with the things she admitted and I really didn’t mind never having children if the Moon Goddess didn’t have any in plan for us, but that also was the reason why I kept Eden a secret. Nobody was to know I had found my mate until I marked her as mine. But clearly, she wasn’t ready for that yet. Or maybe I hadn’t made her feel safe enough to trust me yet. With those thoughts, I finally gave in and fell asleep. I had no idea how much time had passed when Eden woke me
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SIXTY-ONE
Lucius povThe talk with Alpha Maverick in short was nothing I expected it to be. As I walked inside his office, I expected him to question me about the true reason why we arrived or ask me to share why I thought someone was trying to kill him. Once my ass was firm on the chair, he glared at me and cleared his throat. “I want to know what your intentions are toward Eden. She is a nice girl, very kind and forgiving, but I can’t let anyone stomp over her head as if she means nothing. I have overlooked too much mistreatment of her as it is. It’s about time for me to step up and be the Alpha I am supposed to be. The father I promised to be.” Honestly, I admired his bluntness. The no bullshit approach was rather refreshing. On top of that, the fact that this high-ranked man could admit his mistakes and own up to them, yeah, I could tell he was an Alpha worthy of his title. Plus, the longer I stayed quiet the more color appeared on his cheeks, which had to be an indication of him, getti
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SIXTY-TWO
Eden povWas it weird that I felt like I was at the top of the world? The way Lucius looked at me made me feel as if there was no other person on this planet, just me. Or maybe it was the fact that he made me feel like he saw no one but me? I watched him as Lucius finally snapped out of the haze and ran up the stairs. Once he reached me, he didn’t say a word; instead, his lips captured mine in a passionate kiss. Although I was taken by surprise, I didn’t hesitate to melt against him. No other man in my life had ever stood a chance to stand near Lucius. Some time ago, I assumed he was a monster, a man incapable of feelings and emotions, yet he did everything to prove how wrong I was to think of him like that. The King was more than I believed I deserved, but I wouldn’t allow the doubt cloud my mind. If the Moon Goddess paired us, she had a reason for that. If a deity thought we were a perfect fit and Lucius seconded that, who was I to deny their vision?Once we broke apart, I remem
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon SIXTY-THREE
Lucius povI was surprised by the amount of pack members, who approached me just to have a quick chat and introduce themselves. When Eden and I entered this room, I assumed all of them would have questions about the King and my purpose here, but to my utter surprise, none did. Even the dickhead of an ex mate was present, although he stood in the furthest corner and just glared daggers at me. “That’s it, fucker, look at the man who is worthy of her,” Xabat growled from the back of my mind. His possessiveness amused me more than it could annoy me. I liked how in sync we were when it came to Eden and our obsession over her. “He can sulk all he wants, it won’t change a thing, my friend,” I quickly reminded him of the fact, simply to ensure he wouldn’t get pissy and wouldn’t try to break free.The last thing we needed was anyone around here seeing the beast that hid underneath the surface of my skin. As I kept chatting with the pack members, I noticed that the slimy Luna’s daughter w
