Eden's POV

The morning and afternoon pass by uneventfully. I was, of course, rejected in my offer to cook lunch for Mateo. Apparently, Zeke seems to think I still can’t be trusted to prepare anyone’s food. He’s probably right to be concerned, if I’m honest. With the mood that I’m in today, I’m not sure that I’d even think twice about poisoning their bland plates of meat and bread.

I place the little teapot on the stove, and the flicker of the orange flame catches my eye. Suddenly, another craz

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 17

    Conall's POV I enter the quiet living room and look around to see that it’s nearly empty except for Jarek, who is in his usual spot, reading.“Evening, Conall,” he states, lowering his glasses to give me a nod.I nod in return, my eyes finding the clock on the wall. Two minutes to midnight.“Mateo is recovering well, by the way,” Jarek says as I walk toward him, where he sits by the large bookcase. “I think he will be on his feet again by tomorrow, but then we all know that’s probably only because he doesn’t want to miss out on all the fun.”“Fine, that’s good to know,” I answer distractedly, lifting a glass from the table to pour myself a drink.“The Emerdas sap was a good healer. I believe you saved him from a painful day indeed.”I knock the drink back in one, ignoring his insinuation. “How is your research going?” I ask, nodding toward the books on the small table by his side.“Alright,” he answers with a shrug. “The new ones that you acquired have been useful. It may have taken

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 16

    Conall's POVI sit there with my eyes firmly on my plate until I hear the door click shut behind her. “Fuck!” I groan, tossing the fork on the table and pushing the chair back. I take a few seconds to pace the floor, closing my eyes to try and regain my composure.I lose it every time she’s around, and I’m well aware of it. In fact, I fucking despise what her presence does to me. One hundred years on this earth, and I’ve never met a woman who does those things to me, who makes me forget what the hell I’m about to say, or who makes me feel so on edge.I walk over to the fireplace and lean on the mantel with one hand as I stare at the flames.What the fuck am I going to do about her?I’ve been racking my brain for days and still haven’t come up with the answer.How could the moon goddess put me in this situation? Haven’t I sacrificed enough in this lifetime?An elf as a mate… I’ve never heard of anything so ridiculous in all my life. Even when I was young, growing up with the rest of my

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 15

    Eden's POV With my free hand, I knock on the door, tapping my foot on the floor nervously as I wait for a reply. There is none.Shit.I know he’s in there, so perhaps he’s still getting cleaned up. Maybe if I’m quick, I can be in and out before he even sees me.I decide to take my chances, opening the door into the familiar bedroom. It looks and feels just as it did last night. Dark, warm, and strangely inviting compared to the rest of the house. Luckily, it seems I was right, and the room is empty, with the bathroom door closed.I head for the desk in a hurry, placing down the plate of food and laying the cutlery out beside it. I am just about to step away to make my escape when the bathroom door opens, releasing a cloud of steam into the air.I stop dead as he walks into the room, one cloth towel wrapped around his waist, while he rubs the hair on his head with another.I clear my throat awkwardly, giving him a curt nod as I avoid looking at his naked torso. “Your food is on the ta

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 14

    Eden's POVThe men part to let him through unhindered.I stumble back and brace myself as he walks through the doorway, his sexy as fuck, yet dangerous body dripping wet.A low growl leaves his chest as his wild eyes flick over me hungrily, and a throbbing delicious feeling aches between my legs.I hardly know whether I want to fight him or fuck him.My lips part to let out a small breath, and his eyes catch the subtle movement.And it’s then the dam bursts.He races for me.His solid body crashes against mine before his huge arms lock me in their iron grip. He lifts me clear off the ground, his hand gripping the back of my neck, tangling in my hair as he pulls me forward to smash his lips against mine—“Eden….”All of a sudden, my senses jump back into my body with a startle, and my eyes find Con standing by the doorway, staring at me with a scowl on his face.What the fuck just happened? Did I just drop off into a sexual daydream right in front of him? In front of this asshole?I li

Apparently, Zeke seems to think I still can’t be trusted to prepare anyone’s food. He’s probably right to be concerned, if I’m honest. With the mood that I’m in today, I’m not sure that I’d even think twice about poisoning their bland plates of meat and bread.I place the little teapot on the stove, and the flicker of the orange flame catches my eye. Suddenly, another crazy plan begins to form in my mind. Perhaps if I can’t get out of this place, I could destroy it? Raise the entire building to the ground.Despite my initial excitement, I quickly rubbish the idea. How would I make my escape if I can’t leave? I can’t count on any of these assholes to take me with them. Not without Con’s approval, anyway. There’s also the thought of what might happen to anyone left behind. Unfortunately, I’m not so sure that I want charred men on my conscience. No matter how beastl

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 12

    Eden's POV I fix my hair into a tight knot at the base of my neck and look back at my tired eyes in the mirror. After Conall left last night, it was impossible to fall asleep. I’m practically wrapped in the man’s scent and it’s fair to say his presence here certainly left an impression.Who does that asshole think he is? Who the hell died and made him king of this run-down castle?Today is the day that I find out.I fix a determined look on my face and head out into the corridor, making my way to Mateo’s room, which he happened to point out to me yesterday in passing.I can already hear the men downstairs eating, but something tells me he won’t be joining them this morning. I lift my hand to rattle the door, and I’m greeted immediately with a weary voice. “Come in.”I swing the door open and see him lying face down on the double bed, his sheets covering his body up to the waist. His head swings around, and a crooked smile appears on his face. “Morning,” he groans, lifting his arm to

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 6

    Eden's POVI stand by the sink as the pipes reluctantly splutter to life. A small burst of water explodes from the faucet, followed by a steady trickle. I desperately cup my hands underneath, waiting for them to collect just enough liquid to bring it to my lips. I drink it down without a thought, t

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 11

    Eden's POVI slap my hand over my mouth in shock and utter disgust when it dawns on me what is happening. Mateo is being punished.Because of me. Because he brought me here.Suddenly, everything he said earlier this evening makes sense.I lift my arms to begin beating my fists against the window, b

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 10

    Eden's POVI wriggle my toes again, watching them through the haze of steam that clouds the bathtub. The hot water goes a long way to soothe the aches and pains of the day. I look around at the worn but grand space, my eyes scanning the marble sink area and moving up over the ornate gold mirror han

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 9

    Eden's POV The sound of my knuckles hitting the wood reverberates through my tense body, but I stand to attention, waiting for his reply anyway. The sound of his deep voice then carries through the barrier between us, seeping out through the cracks around the doorframe. “Come back later.”My brows
