EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-FOUR
Eden povWhile Titus acted like an absolute lunatic, I didn’t step away from Lucius. He held me so close, so tightly, it almost felt as if he feared to lose me more than I feared losing him. This was safety. This was home. As I inhaled his scent, I didn’t feel as lost anymore. Maybe I was being paranoid and worried about nothing, but past experiences kept replaying in my mind. “No, hold up for a second!” Kayla screeched. Unpleasant shivers instantly ran down my spine. God, I had always hated her voice and now that I managed to almost forget it, hearing it made my dislike grow a thousand times bigger. “First, you will explain why you have arrived and why am I supposed to take shit from strangers. Do you see me walking in your home and spitting commands at everyone? I don’t think so.” I could imagine the scowl that had to be on her face as she spoke. Although Kayla wasn’t technically of a high rank, she loved acting as if she stood above everyone else. It was a tiny detail and a s
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-FIVE
Eden povThis new revelation was unnerving. Not only because now I had two men close to me who were in danger, but also because Lucius looked seriously worried. He wasn’t the type to show the concern. “Should I ask my mate to release them?” I blurted out as my eyes set on Asher and Kayla, both still reeling in pain. The Alpha glanced over his shoulder, but he didn’t look like he was too eager to set them both free anytime soon. “I suppose so,” he grunted. “The wicked witch will come to the brat’s rescue anytime soon anyway,” the Alpha added in a whisper. Lucius chuckled and flicked his wrist. As soon as he did, both Kayla and Asher collapsed on the floor, panting for their breaths. I knew it was evil, I really did, but I couldn’t help but feel happy for their misery. For once, I wasn’t on the receiving end of someone’s mistreatment. Besides, seeing the man who rejected me, forced to his knees, butt naked at that, made me feel a little giddy.“Are you planning to stay in the packho

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: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-EIGHT
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
