EdaThe days passed and I grew more comfortable at the Scarlet Pack. Peelle or Alita were always by my side, their parents Claudia and Evan seemed to adore me, I even met some of the other high ranked members and their families and they liked me as well. The only problem that remained was… Osborn.He looks at me from afar, but never tries to engage with me.My patience is growing thin, and I know that I need to step up if I want him. So, today, I’m going to talk to him.I walk to his office door and knock on it and take a deep breath as I wait for him to tell me to come in. Once I hear his voice, butterflies erupt in my stomach. My palms sweat and I hope that this won’t be a mistake.I walk in with my head held tall as I say, “Alpha, I thought it was time that I properly introduce myself. My name is Eda.”He stares at me, but his expression is unreadable. He doesn’t look happy, angry, or upset. I wish I knew what he was thinking.Suddenly, he snarls at me as he asks, “Why have you com

EdaMy mother smiles as she says, “You are mated to the Alpha of the Scarlet Pack? You are mated to Evan and Claudia’s son?”I bite my tongue, so I don’t correct her by saying ‘son’s’ it’s bad enough that she knows that Osborn is my mate.She shakes her head as she lets out an unhinged laugh. She then opens the door and calls out, “Master Wraith! Master Wraith!”There’s a pit in my stomach as I watch the door to see him come in. He looks annoyed already. He looks at me like I’m the dirt on the bottom of his shoes. My mother says, “Master, she is mated to the Alpha. She can help us get our hands on a true elf.”His smile grows wide, and he says, “I always knew you would be good for something. We’ll send her and the girl on their way. Eda, we will be watching you. Make sure to give us an opportunity to get the Alpha out on his own.”My eyes flicker between my mother and Master Wraith. I know I can’t argue with him if I do it will only cause pain for either me or Alita. I nod my head slo

EdaThe morning comes, my eyes open as I stare at the ceiling. There’s a heavy arm draped over me, and the scent of cinnamon fills the air. My heart stops as I remember what we did.My hand instinctively touches my neck and my eyes clench shut. Shit. How could I have let this happen?Peelle is sweet and perfect and everything I wanted in a mate. But I just put his life in danger. If Master Wraith finds out that Peelle wears my mark, he won’t hesitate to capture him.Peelle pulls me closer to him and breathes in deeply and he’s half asleep as he murmurs, “Goddess, you smell divine.”I don’t respond. I don’t think he knows that I’m awake.I could always come clean. I could tell Peelle about my mother and Master Wraith and their plans. I’m sure that Peelle would find a way to forgive me and help me. But… Osborn. If Osborn found out I bet that he wouldn’t hesitate on kicking me out of the pack because I’ve put him and his family in danger.I want to scream, there’s no good way out of this

EdaMy ears are ringing when I wake up. I blink rapidly as my eyes try to adjust to the light and I look around to see Osborn on the ground beside me.I move over to his side and see that he has a black eye that can’t heal because of the poison they’ve used. I wonder if they took a cheap shot while he was unconscious or if he woke up and tried to fight.The door opens, but we’re in a cell. I look up to see one of the workers that I recognize. He smiles when he sees me awake and says, “You did a great job, Eda, Master Wraith is proud of you.”I hear Osborn’s voice and it’s deep yet it wavers when he asks, “What does that mean?”I turn towards him, his eyes are blazing with fury and I can hear the worker suck in air between their teeth and then the door shuts as he leaves the room.My body is frozen as I stare at Osborn. He pushes himself up off of the ground and stands, towering over me, as he states, “You betrayed me.”My breathing is heavy as I say, “I can explain.”He growls, “You b

AlitaThings are incredibly tense around the pack house.Osborn wants to pretend that Eda doesn’t exist, and her health is deteriorating slowly but it becomes more obvious each day. Mom and I have tried to help heal her, but it’s like she’s immune to our elf healing abilities.Peelle and Osborn are on bad terms… Peelle doesn’t want Eda to die, but Osborn refuses to contact any of our elven family to get their blood. Eda tries to speak with Osborn, but he ignores her existence.All I know is that without Master Wraith getting what he wants, Eda will die. We can’t lose her. There has to be a way to save her.I’ve tried to talk to my parents about everything, but they say that Osborn, Peelle, and Eda need to figure this one out and they will only intervene if one of them asks for help.EdaEvery day I feel weaker than the last. I still am in shock that my mom betrayed me. Peelle hasn’t spoken about my parents. I don’t know if he feels bad for me or what exactly, all I know is that he avo
