EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-TWO
Eden povWhat? No, that couldn’t possibly be happening. Richard was lying, trying to trick me into doing what he had planned. He had to have alternate intentions. No matter what his reasons were for such vile actions, I couldn’t believe that Lucius was dying. The vicious King, the monster in the shadows, the unseen creature - he couldn’t be dying. Would the Moon Goddess be so vile and keep torturing me? It really didn’t matter that I was confused or how I felt about the man - he claimed he was my mate. I couldn’t believe that I already lost one because of his selfish nature and now, I was about to lose the man who cared? I wouldn’t allow that to happen. No. While I was stuck in my thoughts, Richard managed to break the lock and open the cell door. A victorious smile spread across his lips, and while he thought he had done something impressive, I thought the same, but for different reasons. As soon as I saw the chance, I brushed past him and ran toward the staircase. Richard, th
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-THREE
Titus povBy the time I finally got back to the castle, Lucius was already taken by the doctors and none of them were willing to give me any details about him. The thing was that I knew I was unreasonably harsh to Eden, but I couldn’t stop the hatred that kept on growing within me. Especially when the nurses claimed that now that the King had found his mate, she was the one who was entitled for information, not me. All these years, whenever something happened to my best friend, they told me. But now, I had to seek out the human to get the freaking information. Instead of heading to the cells and getting her here, I collapsed on the chair and waited. It was for the best. If she were to be here, I would lash out on her and Lucius definitely wouldn’t appreciate that. However, my bubble popped when she appeared out of nowhere. Who the fuck let her out? I gritted my teeth as I watched her approach me. I was about to open my mouth and shout at her, but Eden had to have seen it coming,
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-FOUR
Lucius povI woke from shouting on the other side of the door. Xabat was still present, but thankfully, I wasn’t him anymore. Just my usual, human self. He was quick to explain what had happened and how silver took me out. Apparently, I was in the hospital and the doctors had done a trick on us to ensure I lived. As childish as it sounded, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to anymore. Yes, I knew my thoughts sounded like a temper tantrum of a toddler, but soon after I found my mate and realized we had no future together, I didn’t know if I could be the same after she left. My thoughts nearly took over, at least until the voices became louder. Even in this messed up state, I could tell it was Eden and Titus, discussing something. Both of them sounded angry, but I couldn’t think of a thing they could disagree on. Slowly, I sat up in the bed and tossed my legs over the edge. I felt like my body wasn’t my own anymore, but that didn’t hold me back from pushing and getting to my feet. My knees
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-FIVE
Eden povOkay, maybe I didn’t fully think about how to deal with the situation when I volunteered to look after Lucius. I had a feeling he had heard some things from the argument I had with Titus, but the coldness from him was enough proof for me to realize he had heard more than just a few things. Titus was nowhere to be found and by the time I got to the bedroom, Lucius was already there. At first, I tried to talk him into getting some rest, but all he did was stand at the bedroom window. That was how our first evening of his bed rest pretty much went by. Lucius refused to look at me or engage into conversations, no matter how hard I tried to talk. If I heard his voice, it happened only when I asked if he was hungry or thirsty. Then, as the night came, once again, I tried to talk him into getting in the bed. Same answer - he wasn’t tired, but I should sleep. I sat on the bed and asked if he could promise to sleep, and the answer was rather sharp. ‘Yes, on the couch’ were the w
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-SIX
Lucius povI needed a moment to think. A moment away from her alluring scent and that face I couldn’t get enough of. A moment without her in my personal space. While Eden was more than I had ever hoped for, she also overwhelmed and confused me. All my life I had to be sure of every step I took because so many supernaturals depended on me, but now, I feared my own thoughts. Any moment I could say something to hurt her, do something wrong, and while I was almost sure that I had given up, I started the way of checking out, I still doubted my ability to be near. Hence why the moment I found her sleeping next to the bedroom door, I carried her inside and left her in the bed. Everything within me screamed to lay next to her and use the chance to hold her just this once. But I didn’t. I had done that once and her reaction was all sorts of wrong. I didn’t want to take away her basic right to give consent, so instead, I spent the night in my office. The night was awful. I couldn’t sleep a

Eden povI did it. I kissed Lucius. I kissed the King. My heart hammered in my chest, my hands trembled and fear surged through me. But oddly enough, none of those things happened because of the quick kiss. The reaction I had was because of his state, not the thing I did. Honestly, I had no idea why I did it, but it felt like the right thing to do. Just as I was about to pull away, Lucius placed his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me back in. His lips rested against mine for a brief moment, and then, he kissed me. His kiss was anything but the pathetic peck I gave him. His lips moved against mine with actual passion. Lucius didn’t try to thrust his tongue into my mouth like I had seen other men do, no. The kiss was as demanding and possessive as it was gentle and attentive. When our lips finally parted, he let out a shaky breath and whispered, “sorry. I didn’t mean to take advantage of you.” “Y-you didn’t,” I stuttered, still a little taken aback by what just happened.

Lucius pov“She’s getting there. See, I told you she would come around and it’s already happening. Baby steps, Lucius, baby steps.” Xabat suddenly spoke up. All I did was stay quiet and wait for an answer, but his sudden input managed to build more hope in my heart than I deserved and dared to have. The only thing I needed was for Eden to give this a chance. To give us a chance. Who knew, maybe if we spent more time together, she would realize just how good we fit together, how we could improve each other as a person and make each other's lives better.“I believe doctors wouldn’t object if you don’t need to stay here for more observation and you would promise to sleep. And I mean actually sleep, not sneak out of the bedroom and disappear,” Eden finally spoke. I wanted to laugh at the snarky tone she was using, but held back. After all, I deserved the attitude. She was right. I got worse only because I didn’t listen and thought that I knew better than medical professionals did. Ju
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-NINE
Lucius povI woke from Eden stirring and whimpering in my arms. “Did I hurt you?” I blurted out the words even before I could understand what I was saying. “No, it’s hot and I feel like if I won’t get out of the bed, I will pee all over you,” she whispered. “I wouldn’t mind. Let her mark her territory,” Xabat interjected. I barked out a laugh at his words and released Eden. She didn’t run to the bathroom as I expected. Instead, she sat up, looking as uncomfortable as ever and stared at me as if I just grew another head. “What?” I asked through the laugh. “Why are you laughing at me?” She sounded serious and a little concerned, but I just waved her off because there was no way I would ever tell her what the beast just announced. “Why not? Tell her!” Xabat growled at me, making me laugh even harder. I could only imagine the look on her face if she heard his thoughts. Seeing that I won’t stop laughing for a while, Eden slid out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. I used the mom
