EDEN POV The sky suddenly turned sour and rain poured. The soothing drip-drip-drip of the drops against the glass windows lulled the turmoil in my soul, and I sat on the window seal staring outside as the drops hit the ground. My mind was filled with all the kinds of scenarios about everything I had just heard pertaining to my parenthood, and I found myself questioning every single thing in my life. But one question that made me want to lose my mind was who the hell was my father and what were his intentions for creating me? For some reason, I was convinced that he wasn’t some holy angel like the books portrayed him. He had to be a stress bundle for creating me, then leave me alone to fend for myself. Of course, I grew up a having a loving mom and dad, but to learn that my dad wasn't actually my dad, and that my supposed sperm donor was angelic freak who must harbour some seriously unheavenly intentions with me… now that fucked up with my mind even more. Yeah, the seraphs were r
RIFTAN POV “They will not make it out of here alive.” I watched her walking away from the lumps of meat that were hanging by the chains from the cold stone wall, her hips swaying seductively. Perplexity blended with the carnage that was whispering in my veins, promising utmost release and satisfaction. My arms went numb! I shook them harder, staring intently at the little kitten that kept me on my toes and had me questioning all my decisions. “I don’t think that’s wise, Little Wolf.” I roared low and dangerously, feeling Lucifel at the surface of my being and ready to jump out at any second. My blood was fire in my veins, and only by taking a life would this fire die out. What Blair and Kylie did was out of this world. They had to pay. And for Khalil…. Well, let's just say I hated his guts. Besides, he was the one who came parading with Blair onto my pack’s borders after I had banished her. So yes, he had one hell of a prize to pay. If it weren’t for him, Eden wouldn't have gone
EDEN POV A few days passed by in a haze of uncertainty and questions;and in that time, I became a victim of the phantoms that haunted my subconscious. Whenever I laid my head on the pillow, I would be carried to the land beyond the earthly realm, a place where dreams and realities coexisted. I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, and tears, my throat aching from all the screaming. And during it all, not even once did Riftan ever leave my side. Whenever I woke up from a nightmare or whatever it was that haunted my soul, I would find myself cradled on his chest, his big, broad, and warm arms securing me with warmth and love I never knew. I would cry my eyes out before falling asleep in his embrace, then wake up in the morning to an empty bed. Sometimes he would even miss work, just so he could see me in the morning and tell me it was all okay, that I got this, and that he would be with me through it all. I didn’t question him. Not even once. Because so far
GRACE POV I knew from the start that this one was above me. It took me quite some time to finally come to terms with my role in all of this game, and the convincing game wasn't all merry. I remember running from all of it; wanting to be no part of such a big, saving the world from ruin game because it all just felt too much for me. Yes, I was considered one of the rare talents in my coven, having mastered the control of magic and mana from a young age, yet I was convinced the universe had skipped the pills. It was during that time I figured that maybe Hercules never really wanted to be in a one-on-one fight with Cerberus; that Mary just may have wanted to live a normal life with her soon-to-be husband and not give birth to the redeemer. Maybe they believed that there was someone out there worthy of all the honors, with millions of credits from their past lives who were more than capable of fulfilling the tasks; and that they were just inferior beings pulled into a circle of uncert
RIFTAN POV My mind was all over the place. But despite having hell inside my brain, my mind drifted to Eden on more times than i actually wanted. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t worried about her. My little girl was going through hell and I didnt know what to do. As much as i wanted to take her hand and pull her out of the freak show she currently was, I couldn’t, and it killed me knowing that there was just so little I can do to lift all the burden. “Delegations from Grand Shire will be arriving . You will have to postpone your little vacation with the Luna.” Kylek informed stepping into my office with a tablet in his hand. I looked up from the screen at him, giving him the ‘repeat that shit’ look that made him sigh out heavily. “I know what you are going to say, but it wouldn’t be in our best interest to turn him down. Remember what we said earlier.” He continued, and I reclined back into my seat before squaring my shoulders, giving him all my attention. “And his rea
EDEN POV There was nothing but thickened sexual tension as he pushed the door to our bedroom open, and siddled inside. The silence seemed to intensify everything I was feeling, making my mind wonder about all sorts of questions. For one, he wanted me, that I knew because he just confessed a few heartbeats ago, so the main question was; was he finally going to have me? Because in my case, I had long come to a conclusion. However, I was starting to wonder whether what I was feeling stemmed from his handsome face or the deep unexplainable sensation I felt inside me whenever I looked at him. Wanting someone to be buried inside you and having him as the father of your pups was slowly morphing into one thing, blurring the difference between the two. I was stuck between a wall and a hard rock at the moment. Yet one thing remained certain; if he could give me a tiny go-ahead, even a simple wink, at this moment, I would pounce on him and let him have his way with me. Heck, if he asked me to
EDEN POV The closest thing I had to a formal wear was one tiny black dress Riftan had gifted me my first night here. The thing didn’t even reach the knee, and had a lace trimming that moved from my neck down my down my navel, revealing everything inside. That and black and white stiletto heels that no one but Grace could handle. I was normally a jeans and top girl, and never really bothered how to be a little extra dressed because it was just all pointless. The heels were super crazy and always felt me with sore legs and boiling feet, and all these fancy dresses were just… I could never really understand all the trouble! I frowned at the hickeys that stayed in the open despite the several attempts at covering them, then blushed red when last night came spilling to the front of my mind. The area between my legs responded with a delicious spasm, sending a thrill down my spine. It was throbbing with the delicious burn, the reminder of last night a little too stagnant in my mind, and my
RIFTAN POV Of course, he was a dick! As expected of someone who had been trying to find fault with me for as long as I could remember while courting the chairman’s seat at the Alpha’s Council from the first time it was appointed to me. Killian Serus, a Spanish smut with a record more rotten than the devil's rack of sins, was at my doorsteps with his woman, and they were behaving exactly the way I expected them to. He was older than me, yet his actions put him down there among the cubs and toddlers. he hated me, merely because he had wanted to be the chairman of the council, yet it was entrusted to me. And for that fact only, we have never seen eye to eye, and never will. Killian was downright disrespectful, the kind to stir trouble and bolt when the shit got out of hand. He was the kind of person you would never want to be associated yourself with, the kind that had trouble following them wherever they went. And for him to come straight here was already the birth of yet another
