EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon TWENTY-TWO
Titus povI had never wished for something so much that my entire being screamed for it. What made it worse was the fact that it wasn’t my place to speak and tell Eden everything she had to know. It was up to my best friend to open up and let her know how he felt. Lucius had always been the closed up type who hid his pain. He never feared his emotions, never felt shame for having feelings, but he truly feared disappointing and hurting those he loved. And Eden… Well, I could tell he loved her from the moment he found her. It wasn’t just because they were mates. For years, Lucius had confided in me how much he wanted to find her, how he would go above and beyond, cross every boundary he had to find her, and here we were. My best friend was so in love with the fragile girl that he didn’t know how to act anymore. “I didn’t mean to hurt him. Titus, you must believe me, it has never been my intention,” Eden mumbled the words in panic. Her voice shook, the words escaped her lips so fast

Eden povMy heart was racing as I watched Titus walk out of the room. My cheeks burned with the ferocity of a wildfire when the door finally closed and I felt like I could breathe again. I never knew myself as someone who couldn’t face the problems and deal with them, and yet, here I was, thinking about another escape plan. If only I could get some time to myself - without anyone around, just my thoughts and emotions. As the foolish idea popped in my mind, my eyes focused on the window. I couldn’t… Could I? There was no saying how much time I had for this stupid idea, but trying was better than sitting and waiting on the rescue that could never come. My hands shook as I pushed the sheets off my body and revealed the hospital gown I was wearing. Surely, if anyone saw me wandering around wearing this, they would think I was some lunatic that escaped a mental facility, but I didn’t care. Getting to the window was a little challenging, but once I stood in front of it, I grinned like

Lucius pov“Eden climbed out of the window and now she’s chilling at the old man’s place,” Titus announced as he slumped on the chair across from me. I raised my gaze from the paperwork and watched him. For a brief moment, it sounded like he just told me that my mate escaped the hospital and was hiding in the grandfather’s housing. Since the shit-eating grin didn’t disappear from his lips, I knew I didn’t hear things and he meant every word. “And you are here, taking your sweet time, not following her and ensuring she’s safe because?” I raised an eyebrow as I questioned him. Although my first instinct was to storm out of here and go after her, Xabat held me back. He reminded me of the look on her face the last time we saw her. It didn’t matter how passionate Eden was about denying her fear, we knew she feared us. We could sense how tense she became whenever we were near and smell the scent of her fear. So, yeah, I think it was pretty fucking safe to say she was terrified of me an

Lucius povThe silence that followed my demand enraged me. How dare they? I kept banging on the door even when I caught a whiff of her fear. Although deep down I knew it was better to stop and step away, I couldn’t. Maybe, after all, my anger was based on her unexplainable fear of me. I knew she didn’t know me, all Eden could base her opinion on was the rumors she had heard. Yes, those rumors were awful, but I never treated her poorly. Or did I? That thought forced me to back down and let them be. Until… Until I heard the old man speak, proving that Eden really hid behind that door. “You stay here, I will deal with him.”Deal with me? Who did he think he was, a fucking god? There was no way he had a chance if he decided to stand face to face with me and actually toss a challenge at me. Xabat would use his bones as toothpicks.As soon as the old man opened the door, all I could see was red. The smug smile across his lips pissed me off, but what really made me forget sanity were his
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon TWENTY-SIX
Eden povI couldn’t describe how I felt as I watched Lucius leave even if I tried. The worst part was that it was his words that hurt me, the things he said earned my reaction, and yet, I felt guilty for his sudden decision to leave me behind. Besides, it didn’t make any sense. He came here to force me back into that hospital room, flew off the handle and left as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. What was wrong with the King? The intense mood swings were so sudden and unpredictable that I had no idea how to deal with it. Richard placed a hand on my shoulder, making me jump, and squeezed it a little. “Come, let’s go inside and drink that tea. It will help you relax and in the meantime, we can discuss where you want to go once we get out of this shithole.” The chuckle that left his lips was odd. He didn’t ensure I followed him inside, just went back straight to the kitchen area and hummed a melody under his breath. Slowly, I entered the house again and sat down. While he was
EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon TWENTY-SEVEN
Eden povThe reason for my outburst was the stupid hope that I could open Richard’s eyes to reality, I had no intention to hurt anyone in the process. But of course, as always, I messed up even without trying. The door to the house burst open and Titus walked inside. His chest was rising and falling rapidly as he breathed, hot tears rolled down his cheeks, leaving ugly marks behind. “You feel nothing and yet, you won’t tell him? You’re here to mislead my best friend and don’t even have fucking guts to spill the truth? I regret ever sneaking into those cells and trying to help you. That place brought the good out of you, but obviously, you thrive in misery because once someone does everything in their power to please you, you turn into a completely different person. You’re fucking disgusting, Eden. Shifter or not - you’re rotten!” He screamed at the top of his lungs. I tried to get closer, set on explaining myself, but Richard grabbed my hand and held me back. All I could do was to

Lucius povThis wasn’t the first time in my life that I had to turn my back on someone and leave, but this surely was the most painful fucking experience so far. It felt like someone was ripping out my heart while it was still beating. On my way to the castle, I mind-linked Titus and sent him to Eden. “I need you to go check on Eden. I gave her the green light to leave if that is what she wishes to do, but while she’s still in the territory, someone has to watch her and report back to me.” He wasn’t too happy about that and didn’t shy away from voicing his frustration. “First of all, I don’t want to go, but I will only because you are making me. Second, the fuck is wrong with you? You’ve been waiting for your mate ever since I remember you and you’re already giving up? Weak.” I understood that he was butt-hurt, but I needed to ensure she was safe. “It doesn’t matter anymore, Titus. And quite frankly, my love life, as non-existent it is, is none of your business. I appreciate the co

Titus povMothertrucker load of shitsticks… Those were the only words I could think of to describe the situation. I had too much on my hands as it was, but now, Eden was frozen on the spot along with the old man, and to top it off, certain someone managed to scare her even more. As I was about to reach out and grab her, she came to her senses and brushed past me. She was too tiny to move that fast and yet somehow, she managed to prove me wrong. Why, just why I couldn’t think about the consequences as I stood in the door, watching her? And when the consequences came, I still managed to overlook them until a loud scream left her. That was when I understood she had caught a glimpse of Xabat, heading to the border. “Eden, don’t just stand there, we need to get you to safety,” I snapped out of my thoughts and grabbed her hand as I attempted to drag her away from the danger zone. Instead of listening to me, she pulled her hand out of mine and refused to move. In true, childlike manner,
