“I want you, please...hot...help me...” I grabbed the Lycan King's shirt and pulled him towards me, kissing him passionately. He hesitated for a moment, then held me even closer… I never expected that after being betrayed, slandered, and drugged by my ex-Alpha husband and half-sister, the King would be the one to save me. What surprised me even more was that I ended up pregnant with his child after that wonderful night. When I discovered he was plotting to kill me for his fiancée, I ran away. “Come back to me, Eden,” his Lycan Aura made me shiver uncontrollably. “No!” I bit my lip, insisting, “If you don't love me, you should let me go.” His dangerously captivating eyes locked onto mine, and he said gently, "You broke my curse, how could I let you leave?" Curse? What curse? “That's my secret,” he held my waist, whispering softly in my ear, “and I know yours too, Love. Let me help you awaken.”
View MoreEden’s POVThere was danger in Zane’s eyes. He held Adrian’s shirt in his fist. They glared at each other. This wasn’t good. I didn’t know what Zane was so upset about, but he was really madea about something.“The way I looked at her?” Adrian scoffed. “What are you talking about?”“I saw you. During Alpha Mile’s welcome speech. You were…LOOKING at her.”“Everyone was,” Adrian said flatly. “She was the guest of honor.”Zane didn’t reply. He only narrowed his eyes and grabbed the shirt more tightly.“I suggest you let me go,” Adrian said.“Or what?” Zane said. He hovered over Adrian. Adrian was strong, there was no doubt about that. But Zane was the Lycan King. He had a strength and authority that Adrian couldn’t touch. I needed Adrian to just back down. There was so much tension between these two right now I could cut it with a knife.I knew Zane had a temper. I’d seen it for myself first hand. He was clearly jealous, which was ridiculous. He was creating something in his head that ha
Eden’s POV“Come find me in the garden.”That’s what Zane had said. For a brief moment, I wondered if he wanted to meet me so he could kill me. But I quickly dismissed that thought.I had no idea how Zane felt about the Silvermist Pack. For all I knew, he couldn’t care less about it. But this whole night had been about welcoming me into the pack. I was accepted as the Alpha’s granddaughter now. If Zane killed me, the Silvermist Pack would become his sworn enemy. And that could cause problems for him.So even if he HAD wanted to kill me, I was pretty confident he wouldn’t do it. Not anymore. I had the safety of the pack behind me now.I made my way discreetly to the garden. Zane was already waiting for me there. He had his back turned, but his silhouette was tall and reassuring. My heart lurched and I swallowed, hard.Oh, how I had missed him! His eyes, his scent. I couldn’t deny it. Butterflies danced in my stomach as I walked towards him.He turned to face me. “You look beautiful,” h
Zane’s POVI smelled her before I saw her. That sweet, intoxicating scent – bread cookies. Then she emerged from the garden with Alpha Miles. I was stunned, completely stunned, by her beauty.I’d always thought she was beautiful. From the moment I saw her in that cage at the auction house. But she was more captivating now than ever before. In a black, silk dress, with her hair piled on top of her head. She walked with such elegance, such grace. She seemed different – more confident, more at ease with herself.I couldn’t take my eyes off her.Ever since that night at the lake, I’d spent every moment thinking about Eden. She haunted me in my dreams, her soft smile, her sparkling eyes. The vision of her out on the battlefield, covered in blood, refusing to yield. She was so strong. So brave.And then our night together. Her warm skin, her lips on mine, the pure ecstasy of being so close to her. It was enough to drive me crazy!I missed her desperately. Everywhere I went, I saw her. In th
Eden’s POV“Eden, sweetheart! You look so pretty!” I turned to see my grandpa waving to me. He’d obviously seen me standing behind this tree.I glanced back quickly to Adrian and the girl – Serena.Took away her brother? Took away Adrian? What was she talking about?“Eden, come come!” He was waving and smiling. I had to go. Everyone was waiting for me. I’d had to set aside this strange conversation for now and focus on the party.“Coming,” I called as I rushed towards him.“So beautiful,” he said as I approached. He clasped my hands in his. “You look so much like your mother.” His eyes shone with pride.“Are you ready?” he asked me. “For the official introduction?” I nodded. Then he escorted me over to a stage they had set up for the band. We walked up to the microphone together. I scanned the crowd. Grandpa wasn’t kidding. This was quite the turn-out. I was overwhelmed that so many werewolves had made the effort to come. And all just for me?Well, and for my grandpa, of course.“Ahem
Eden’s POVI decided to let it go. It didn’t matter who cut my dress, the damage was done. I wasn’t going to make a big scene about it. This was an important day, for both me and grandpa. No point in crying over spilt milk, or in this case, a sabotaged dress. I wasn’t going to let anything ruin this party for me."You go on ahead,” I told Adrian. “I'll get changed and catch up with you later." I couldn’t help but notice that he seemed relieved. He nodded and then eagerly scurried out of the room without saying another word.“We can touch up your face while we wait,” one of the maids suggested.“Oh yes, oh yes. More mascara.”“More lipstick.”Before I could respond, they hurried me back to my mirror and plunked me down. They started fussing over my make-up and hair again. While they worked their magic in the make-up and hair department, my thoughts went back to Adrian and his strange expression when he’d seen the dress. I honestly didn’t think he was responsible for this, but maybe h
Eden’s POVThe maids rushed into my room in a flurry. I was just finishing up my make-up.“Oh no, Miss Eden, more blush,” one said, removing the brush from my hand.“And your hair? Not like that,” another said, plugging in the curling iron.“Give me your hands,” said a third, while she unscrewed a bottle of nail polish. “Don’t worry, it'll dry.”I wasn’t expecting them all to come into my room like this, but they took over, preening and pawning over me. I let them. It was a big day for me! The day of my welcome party so why not let them treat me like a princess?My grandfather said he had invited a lot of Alphas. The party was going to be really big. Lots of lavish food, drinks, and even a live band for entertainment. At first, I was a little embarrassed. They were all making such a fuss over me. But when I saw how much this party meant to my grandfather, well, I got a little caught up in the excitement too.Especially when I saw the dress. The head seamstress had sewn it just for me.
Eden’s POVKeep it? The baby?"I…I don't know." I was confused. My heart hurt. I hadn’t had time to process any of this, so of course I hadn’t thought about whether or not I would keep it.“You don’t have to, Eden. You don’t have to keep it.”His words hung heavy in the air. He was giving me an option. I didn’t know what to do. Zane had hurt me. What would it be like to raise the child of the man who broke my heart?But…It was just a baby. It was innocent. How could I possibly….“I made a lot of mistakes with your mother,” he said bluntly. I was surprised to hear him talk about this, so I listened intently. “I…wasn’t compassionate enough. To her situation. I can see that now. I won’t do the same with you.”I looked at him. What did he mean?He stood up and patted my head gently. “Your mother tried to talk to me about a similar thing, once. But I was too stubborn. She said I wasn’t listening, and that I didn’t understand her. Shortly after, she cut all ties with me.”He sighed a heavy
Eden’s POVPregnant?My mind went momentarily blank.Preg….nant?I slowly looked down at my belly and instinctively reached out to touch it. There was…there was a life growing inside me?"I…I…” I stuttered.“The doctor said you're over a month," Grandpa sighed. “I take it from your expression you had no idea?”I was still in shock as my grandpa’s words sunk in.Over a month...That meant….That night!It was Zane’s. Zane was the father. I was carrying the Lycan King’s baby.Was this really happening? I couldn't believe it! Growing inside of me was the baby of a man who had tried to kill me! (Well, his wolf had). But Chloe confessed that he wanted me dead. And now here I was, pregnant with HIS child.Oh, Moon Goddess! Is this for real? Are you playing some sort of sick joke on me? Why has this happened?My fingers gingerly touched my belly.There were too many emotions flooding through me to process."Eden, I owe you an apology,” my grandpa said, cutting through my thoughts. “I had hea
Eden’s POVThe pungent scent of alcohol accosted my nose. My eyes flew open. I was staring at a blank, white ceiling. Where was I?“Are you finally awake, Sleeping Beauty?” It was my grandpa. He was sitting beside me. I was in bed….but…The pack hospital? Is that where I was? I heard the ‘beep, beep’ of a heart monitor beside me. It was attached to my finger, taking my pulse.Was I sick? Injured?But then I remembered.The pack run came back to me in bits and pieces – the forest, the birds, the sting in my lungs…the feeling of euphoria, of finally being included and accepted.And then?The she-wolf! She tripped me. She had it out for me, right from the start. Mocking me! I had no idea why she wanted to get me, but she had tripped me. I was sure of it! On purpose, to ruin my chances of winning.I could see those stupid braids flapping in the wind!She made me stumble! I couldn’t catch my footing. I fell and…Adrain caught me. That was the last thing I remembered."You passed out," Adri
