EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon THIRTY-EIGHT
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

Lucius pov“Shower it is,” Eden giggled and pushed me away from her. I stood aside like an idiot as I watched her hop off the counter and grab the bottom of the shirt she was wearing. Eden didn’t pull it over her head just yet, she looked at me and raised an eyebrow as if she wanted to ask me if I was planning to join. Shaking my head, I managed to get back to my senses. “Yeah, right, I’m joining,” I muttered and hurried to turn on the shower. “Can you turn around and avoid looking at me until I get in the shower, please?” She asked. I glanced over my shoulder just in time to see that beautiful blush cover her cheeks and nodded. “Sure thing.” Eden looked like a massive weight fell off her shoulders when I agreed. First, I backed away from the shower once I checked the temperature of the water was fine. Then, I turned around to give her privacy. As much as I understood why she needed this, I wondered how she expected for us to take the shower together, if she was so shy of me, s
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-ONE
Lucius povI froze. I bloody froze and stared at her as if Eden had just hung the moon for me. The thing was that no matter how much I already adored and desired her, the feeling in my chest intensified as soon as she muttered those magic words. All my life, I hid away from everyone’s eyes, fearing that I was the cursed one who would never get the chance to enjoy what true love meant. But here she was, right in front of me, looking at me as if I truly mattered. I was more than ready to take back every word I had shouted at the sky over the years. Every insult I threw at the Moon Goddess, every damn time I cursed her existence… After all, she didn’t deny me the only thing I had ever truly desired to find. The look in her eyes spoke more than a thousand words. The words that would be nothing but empty promises compared to the silence that surrounded and hid us from the word. Although we stood in the shower with no other intention, both of us being naked and watching each other as w
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-TWO
Eden pov“What?” I shouted, effectively startling every man in this massive room. I didn’t intend to react like this, it just happened. Just a brief moment ago, I noticed how mutilated Lucius' flesh was and now, someone was claiming there had been an attempt on his life? What on Earth was happening here? The King was a mystery, how did anyone figure out how to get close to him, and most importantly - why? Why would anyone try to kill my mate? “Eden, my love, let’s sit down first and then, we can get to the bottom of this,” Lucius urged me toward the end of the massive table and sat in the chair at the end of it. I was about to take a seat next to him, but instead, he pulled me on his lap and muttered, “a personal throne for my Queen.” No one besides me seemed bothered by his behavior. I understood intimacy for as long as it wasn’t a public matter, and honestly, even sitting on his lap felt intimate. “So, where do we begin with this?” Lucius spoke up as soon as all the men took th
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-THREE
Eden pov“That might be a problem,” Lucius groaned. “Moles are all over the place. Always have been and always will be, so that's something we just have to live with. Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter how good of a leader the King is, there always will be someone who doesn’t like something. Out of a hundred people, at least one will want to rebel. However, having a Council member as a mole is what makes this situation extremely tricky.” Since Lucius spoke with finality I hadn’t heard from him before, I decided it was for the best not to question him more. But while I avoided asking something, I had an idea I could toss at him. “How about we test it? I mean, I understand you can’t just toss accusations at the Council, but we could think of something as a test to see if my suspicions are correct. For all I know, he might be having a bad day and hence the attitude.” I offered, once again, trying to get more comfortable in his lap. A loud, pained groan left him and I instantly froze.
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-FOUR
Eden povThe rest of the meeting with the Council for the lack of better words was… uneventful. No one had left while Lucius and I discussed my suspicions. Even the man in question still stuck around. Weirdly enough, he changed his attitude halfway through the meeting, as if someone had tipped him off. By the time everyone left, I left like someone had sucked out the little joy I had left out of my life. While Lucius and Titus decided to stay in the office and talk about something, I wandered downstairs to the kitchen. Some snacks and sleep sounded like a dream come true. As soon as I rounded the corner and was about to enter the kitchen, I was stopped by voices, mentioning Lucius. Spying on people was bad, I knew it was, but I couldn’t help myself, so I pressed my back against the wall and listened. “She is no Queen of mine. I don’t care what the King says, I refuse to accept a lowly being like her and as someone who is meant to stand above me. At this point, I would rather see
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon FORTY-FIVE
Lucius povI acted like she had won this time. Technically, at least partly, she did. But what Eden didn’t know was that I already mind-linked Titus and gave him heads-up about the situation. As soon as I would let him know we both went back to the bedroom and Eden was busy, my best friend would get the workers out of the kitchen and ask them a few questions. In the meantime, we assured guards stood nearby if any of these people decided to try to run. While Eden was busy making sandwiches, I leaned against the doorframe and watched her. Everyone in the kitchen returned to their responsibilities, surely more tense than earlier. Every person kept glancing in my direction to check if I hadn't left. As if I would leave my mate here alone for the bait of these piranhas. This situation irritates me as much as it intrigues me. Listening to the things people talk behind my back did open my eyes a little. Although I knew that not everyone who smiled to my face had good intentions, I never
