EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-EIGHT
Eden povMy breath hitched as an intense ping or pain hit my chest. I wasn’t sure where the pain came from, but once Lucius grabbed my hand and held it, the pain faded. His eyes were trained on something in the distance, and I swear, I could see tears forming in them. So that was where the pain came from - I felt a little bit of what Lucius was feeling. “It’s fine,” I whispered. “You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. We can just sit in silence, take this moment for yourself and then, we will go back to the castle to get you some rest.” “No,” Lucius choked and shook his head. “Before our relationship evolves into something I can’t afford to lose. Fuck it, it’s already there, I just can’t lose you, Eden. The possibility of seeing you walk away from me scares me like nothing ever has.” I had never felt nearly as confused as I was now. Why did he need to talk about the relationship, if he brought me here to show me the place and already mentioned his mother?“I don’t u
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-NINE
Lucius povWhy did I feel so flooded with relief because of those words? Not everything, though. The mention of that man fueled my rage and I wanted nothing but to find him and erase his existence. I should be grateful for his stupid decision to reject Eden, and I truly did, but I also was incredibly angry that he couldn’t see the worth in her. To me, Eden was perfection. She was everything and more. Way more than I could have dreamed of, and thanks to one fuckface, she was all mine. Although I still worried about her words, I pretended they didn’t affect me. I would get to the bottom of it later, now, I had to focus on her well-being. Breaking news like that to someone had to be a thing only someone brave could do, but there also was the emotional factor. She looked like the words didn’t hurt her, but I could hear it in her voice how much they actually did. Eden had been silently suffering all this time, carrying the burden alone, and I was too busy and caught up with everything
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY
Eden povFor the rest of the evening, at least until dinner time came around, Lucius was calm and really seemed to enjoy himself. He insisted we head downstairs for dinner, despite how many times I told him I would bring him food. When we sat at the table, I noticed the insane lack of happy faces around it. Titus joined us shortly, but I still felt like something was missing. “Where are the rest of the people?” I asked Lucius, interrupting the conversation he had started with Titus. “They are in the kitchen, having dinner the same as we are, love,” Lucius replied. A frown, probably an ugly one, instantly appeared on my face. “Why?” Both Lucius and Titus thought for a moment and then just shrugged. “No idea, that has been the system ever since the last King, I suppose. We have been so used to it that I never questioned it,” Titus explained. No, that didn’t sit well with me. It was one thing to stand above everyone, but all those people spent their days working to improve the life
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-ONE
Eden povOf course, I knew which pack Lucius was talking about, but I was too scared to bring up more details. I had never told him where exactly I came from, so I assumed it had to be Titus since we met in my old pack. But on top of that, I had the nagging feeling that Richard might have told more than I was willing to share. Was it too much to ask to have some details of my past left unsaid? That was pretty much where we left the conversation. Neither of us uttered a word as we left the bathroom and got in the bed. Lucius pulled me in his arms and muttered something I couldn’t understand. As annoyed as I was, it took me no time to fall asleep. My issue was that I felt as if I hadn’t slept at all when he woke me up with gentle kisses he traced over my skin. I tried to escape his hold and pull the blanket over my head, five more minutes was all I needed, but Lucius was dead set on waking me - one way or another. And in this case, he chose the latter one. A yelp of surprise left
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-TWO
Eden povWhen Lucius returned with our breakfast, I had managed to pack my suitcase. Honestly, I went through the bags as if my ass was on fire because I didn’t want to discuss the contents of that one bag. Just the thought of it made my cheeks burn bright red. But alas, I tossed the things in simply because Lucius asked me to and I didn’t want to disappoint him. We didn’t talk about anything while we ate and when he needed to pack his bag, the only words that left us were some bits about the stuff he needed, and questions about basic items from me. The morning went by in a blur. I think the severity of his decision sunk in only when Lucius opened the car door and helped me in. Titus decided to take his own car to give us more privacy. As soon as we left the driveway and Lucius turned the car on the highway, my heart sank. This was it, I was returning to my tormentors. Deep down, I felt like nothing could save me from them. No matter how far I ran, how many people I took with me
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FIFTY-THREE
Lucius povI bursted out in laughter the moment the guy covered his junk and looked around like a goddamn lemur. His eyes were so wide, I started worrying they might pop out. Until they landed on Eden. She instantly squeezed my hand a little tighter. Oh, would you look at this, I guess I already found my first victim. A sly grin spread across my lips as I let go of her hand to toss my arm around her shoulders and pull her closer. “Who the fuck are you? Get your dirty paws off my mate!” The guy suddenly screamed. Honestly, I found it amusing how embarrassed and angry he looked. “I suggest you get dressed before you try to enter a competition with this guy. From what I’ve seen of you, he is bloody massive. I mean, look at him, he is a giant who’s packing a solid monster compared to your micro treasure. Or do you prefer pulling them out for measuring? Cause if you do, boy, I’ll gladly pull mine out too.” Titus laughed as he walked closer to the guy. I was about to stop my best frie
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
