Eden's POV

“Shit!” I catch myself just in time before falling on my ass; however, my dangling legs accidentally kick over an old rusty mop bucket in the process. I hold still, wincing as the metal clangs against the stone floor. When the noise stops, I breathe a sigh of relief and try once again to open up the long, narrow window. “Come on…come on,” I grit through my teeth, tugging the latch violently until it eventually gives way. “Yesss.”

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 21

    Eden's POVThe nymph follows my line of sight as I stare at the rose, touching it gently. “Do you like it?”“Yes,” I whisper in reply.She smiles at me kindly as she pulls the rose out. I take it from her hands and examine its velvety soft petals with my fingertips.It’s a long shot. A total and utter long shot, but I know that it’s something that I just have to try. My eyes return to the nymph, now staring at me with a worried expression.Without delay, I pounce on top of her, wrestling her weak, unsuspecting body to the ground as she squeals in fear. I clamp my hand over her mouth while reaching around the floor with the other. Frantically, I grab the edge of the rusty metal bucket and smack it against her head with moderate force. Her struggling stops, and I look down at her still body guiltily. “I’m so so so sorry!” I whisper breathlessly, dragging myself back up onto my feet. “Please forgive me! I’m so sorry!”I look around the kitchen and stop at the cupboard. Gripping her hands

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 20

    Eden's POVI stretch my arms out above my head lazily before yawning. Opening one eye at a time, the realization of what I have done hits me like a ton of bricks. “Oh no!” I mutter, looking around the empty room frantically.Did I fall asleep here? How could I be so stupid?I quickly bounce onto my feet and gather my dirty work clothes into my arms when, suddenly, the sound of a woman’s laugh greets my ears.I abandon the pile of clothes and rush to the door, heading down the corridor with eager anticipation. The closer I get to the center of the house, the louder the sound becomes, and I can now identify more than one woman’s voice through the mixture of male guffaws.What the fuck is going on?!There are no female wolves! Mateo and Conall both confirmed as much!I arrive in the hallway overlooking the living room and tiptoe forward to peer over the balcony at the scene below. My eyes widen in shock at the sight before me.The Alpha men are spread out around the room. My gaze first l

  • Trapped in the Den of Alphas   Chapter 19

    Eden's POVThe rest of the morning flies by, and I keep myself busy washing some sheets from the men’s bedrooms per Zeke’s request. Most of them seem like they haven’t been washed this side of the decade.Gross. After soaking them thoroughly, Mateo and a few others take them outside to dry in the warm spring sun, which shines brightly in the clear sky. I can’t help but stare out the window at them in sheer jealousy. I’d do almost anything right now to feel the breeze catch my hair or the sun’s rays touch my skin. The thought alone is enough to change my mood entirely. “You miss the outdoors?” I turn to see Jarek sitting in his usual chair over by the bookcase. It surprises me that he is trying to strike up a conversation, but with the loneliness I now suddenly feel, I am grateful for it. “Yes. I do,” I answer honestly, wandering closer to him. He nods with a hint of sympathy before his eyes return to his book. I tilt my head slightly to read the title. ‘Medicinal Purposes of

I hold still, wincing as the metal clangs against the stone floor. When the noise stops, I breathe a sigh of relief and try once again to open up the long, narrow window. “Come on…come on,” I grit through my teeth, tugging the latch violently until it eventually gives way. “Yesss.”I use my upper body strength to pull myself onto the narrow window ledge, peering out at the overgrown grass. I then reach my hand forward to try to touch it with my fingertips, but instead of the cool, fresh earth, they are met with a solid invisible wall.“Urggggg!!” I groan in annoyance, my head dropping in defeat.Assholes!I shuffle myself from the high ledge, dropping my dangling body back down to solid ground, looking down at my dusty clothes and patting them with my equally dusty hands.Suddenly, the basement door swings open, and I jump in

    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

    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 8

    Eden's POV I tuck the broom in the corner of the cleaning closet and wipe the sweat from my brow before looking back into the kitchen. Sighing heavily, I mumble insults under my breath when I see the mess left behind by the two great oafs who prepared dinner in here earlier. “Disgusting

    “What’s your name anyway?” Mateo asks, opening the door that leads out into the hallway.“Eden,”“I’m Mateo.”“Yes, I know. I heard the others say it the night I was brought here.”“Yeah, I bet you did,” he scoffs. “They were pretty pissed at me.”I become distracted as I look around the semi-famil

    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
