It felt like yesterday when her parents had died. Time flew so quickly. In a twinkle of an eye, twelve days was already up. Eden sighed as she took a final glance at herself in the mirror. She was satisfied by the look she saw but she was scared. Again, Lucian had gone out to make an important call and although she tried to take her mind off it. She could not under stand why he had always home out each time he was to make a call. Was he hiding something from her? Well, it was his personal business and nothing more. Whatever he did was none of her concern. She had a lot to deal with including her love for him. Eden had called Maya few minutes ago and she wondered why Maya had not been there. She had been trying to get to her for days but her reaction had been a turn off. Eden had tried to visit her to know what is wrong but each time she got there, Maya's mother alys told her Maya had gone out or perhaps had gone for something important. Had she offended Maya? She just could not und

Lucian walked back in. His facial expression was bland. As soon as he walked in, Eden raised her head quickly, hoping to hear a positive result. She looked up at him, waiting for a befitting response but he kept mute as he walked towards her. Eden constantly looked at the door hoping it would open but to her uttermost dismay, the door didn’t open. She wanted to walk even further as she believed Lucian was not able to convince her. Lucian was quick to hold her back. Eden tried to release herself from his grip but she could not. He was holding her tightly. She tried to break herself free from him again but he was not willing to let her go. Just then, the door flung open. Eden gasped as she had not expected what she saw. She looked at Lucian and he smiled at her. She smiled back at him as she embraced him again. She was so happy that she didn’t even think straight of what had just happened. Trying so hard, Maya hid her anger. Maya had walked in with a smile on her face. She crossed h

“Would she be fine?” Worry spread itself widely on Lucian’s face. He could not affoeds anything happening to Eden. Not even at that time.“Yes, she will be fine” The Physician smiled at him. He had not ben able to get a physician. He had journeyed for a distance before he was able to get the royal physician. “What is the matter with her? What happened to her? Is she sick? Does she need a serious medical care? Is she…”“Be calm” The physician smiled as he saw th4e look of worry on Lucian’s face. Well…… he was quite scared and hoped she would not die. She was his friend after all.“She was just stressed and nothing more. She had been thinking so much and I guess it weakened her entire body hence making her very sick. She would be fine” The royal physician explained. Lucian heaved a sigh of relief. He had lost his mind when he thought she was going to die. His whole system had taken another form, not just for their gain but she being his friend as well. “All she needs is quality rest

Lucian was shocked to say the least and so was Eden. Was he really going to kill them? Just like that when they had done nothing? He should have at least told them that they had done wrong. “Who sent you?” Eden questioned, looking unperturbed. “Who asked you to go after our lives?” She questioned again like she wanted to be sure they heard her right. The trios stared at each other and let out a loud laughter. She felt a bit embarrassed by their actions but she was not going to let it get to her. She really wanted to know why they had come after them.“Dear Alpha, why are you so concerned about why we want to take your life?” One of them asked mockingly and the others began to laugh. It wasn’t funny so she could not see why they were laughing. “Why? What would you do if you know? Go after who sent us? Or try to attack them when you are gone? Or perhaps, your ghost would begin to hunt them?” Another added, making them all burst into another bout of laughter. It wasn’t funny. She coul

"I have to leave now" Maya yanked her mother's hands off her shoulders and ran out quickly. She needed to leave as soon as possible. Deep within, she prayed nothing happened to Lucian. Well…. Eden should also be okay till they get what they finally want. Lucian opened his eyes slowly as he felt shaken. No, not by hands but by…. The tiny ray of sun piercing through a corner to his eyes, wait.. What was going on?He opened his eyes wide to behold where he was. The sounds of horses trodding the floor continued to penetrate his hearings. Then it dawn on him.They were in a cage. A cage with iron bars in which each of the bars only had small distance between them.Where were they and where were they taking them to? Eden still had not opened her eyes. She still looked so weak and pale and their hands were still tied. "Eden" He called softly, looking around the environment even though he could not catch a clear glimpse of the environment. No where seemed familiar at all. "Eden" He call
