EDEN

The heavy wooden door flew open, slamming against the

stone wall. Jaxon's hand froze on the hem of my skirt.

Killian stood framed in the doorway, his chest heaving like he had been running, his blue eyes wide as they locked onto us in the dark closet.

He had tracked the raw, burning pulse of our bond starlight down the passage. He stared at Jaxon's hand on my skin, he listened to my ragged breathing, draining every drop of color from his face.

“I came to tell you, that I was sorry, Eden

    KILLIAN The iron horn shrieked through the school, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe too.Eden's claws dug straight through my silk undershirt into the flesh of my chest, drops of my own blood soaked into my shirt, the metallic scent of blood slowly filling the air.But I didn't flinch, physical pain was nothing compared to the violent panic tearing through me and my wolf's chest from the inside out.She thinks i was there, she think I'll watch them torture her. “Tell me how you know about the wine cellar or Goddess help me, Killian, I'll tear your throat out right here!” Eden snarled into my face, her dark eyes flashing with pure rage and something else, she was vibrating with power. “Eden….listen to me,” I gasped, pressing my back flat against the cold stone wall to keep me from falling. “I wasn't there. I swear on my wolf's blood I wasn’t in that house!”“Then how do you know?” She screamed, her claws sinking half an inch deeper into my skin.Because I hired a private investiga

    EDEN I stood frozen at the library table, watching Asher disappear into the high rows of bookshelves.My heart slammed against my ribs like a trapped bird, but I forced my hands to stop shaking. Panicking wouldn't save me. I packed the terror away, filing it deep in the back of my mind.Asher knew about Kaleb, which meant if I gave him a reason to, he would dig up about Kia in a matter of minutes.I needed to get out of here, and try to get more information before I stepped foot into that arena.I left the library and cut straight through the stone passages to the slave courtyard, dust and the sharp stench of sweat filled the prep area. I found the head slave leaning against a crate of rusted iron weapons, counting papers.I stepped directly into his space. “The Thomas pack, entrant. Tell me about him.”The Head slave dropped his papers, his eyes widening as he looked around the crowded courtyard. “Keep your voice down, Eden! That is only known by a few upper slaves. Wait, how did yo

    EDENI stood alone in the dim corridor, watching Jaxon's shadow disappear around the corner, my chest tightened, a cold weight settling in my heart. Why was Jaxon terrified? Who called him, and what did they mean about shadow slaves?What the hell did Alpha Thomas do?I pushed the rising panic down, locking it into the cold vault of my mind. Fear makes people weak. If none of them would give me the truth, I'd just stop asking and find out myself.The visiting werewolf Prince was arriving tomorrow for the tournament trials. If needed to win the first set of matches, I would use his crown to crush every Alpha in this school and rise.I turned on my heel and running towards Tinsley's residential wing. The high tier hallway was quiet, lined with dark banners. I reached Tinsley's private door, pulled a thin strip of brass from my sleeve, and jammed it into the lock.A quiet click echoed in the silent hall, I slid inside, pulling the heavy oak door shut until only a narrow crack remained.H

This is what you owe him for his signature, right?”“Get out, Killian,” I said, my voice cold, forcing my breath to steady down.Jaxon didn’t pull his hand away, he let his palm rest heavily against my thigh, a dark, slow smile spreading across his face as he looked at Killian.“She didn't tell you, Kill,ouch that's gotta hurt.” Jaxon purred in

    EDENI pull back, but I can't get away since he wrapped his arm around my waist.“W-what are you doing?” my heart starts beating fast as my eyes fly to the door. “Anyone could walk in.”“Not without my permission.” he puts his nose on my neck and inhales a hint of… my perfume.“Were you with Killian?” he asks.My heart picks up again. “How did you know that?”“You have his scent on you.”“Oh, right. We had an argument. I convinced him to not push on the signature issue. “And I take it. He didn't take it well, did he?”“No, he didn't.” I lick my lipsHe reaches a hand out and strokes the cushion of my bottom lip. “This mouth is begging to be fucked.”“You…” My breaths become hot and my body is overheating. “You said you won’t ask for anything from me until the contest begins.”“Maybe I changed my mind.” His finger strokes the skin back and forth, back and forth, making me choke on air. “You certainly need to be claimed, so you’ll stop flaunting yourself around.”“I’m not flaunting m

    EDENThe registrar's eyes widened with terror, his gaze bouncing between the paper and my shoulders, I looked behind me to see a towering Alpha beside me.“Put the stamp on the form,Registrar,” Killian growled, his fierce golden eyes locked on the trembling man. “Or do you doubt the legitimacy of her credentials? Do you think someone would be able to lie to get the Vance heir to sign as a sponsor?”“I…. It is sealed, Alpha!” The registrar stammered.He slammed the blood - red iron seal onto the scroll, shoved the paper back across the mahogany counter with shaking hands, and scrambled away from his desk. The registration was finalized. Behind us, Maya backed two steps away into the shadow of the corridor. Her eyes narrowed in shock as she stared at Killian's scarred hand.However, Killian didn't wait, he wrapped his fingers tight around my wrist and pulled me away from the desk, dragging me into a quiet space in the building.“Killian, let me go,” I said, tugging against his grip.
