EDEN: The Daughter of the Moon のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Eden povOf course, I knew which pack Lucius was talking about, but I was too scared to bring up more details. I had never told him where exactly I came from, so I assumed it had to be Titus since we met in my old pack. But on top of that, I had the nagging feeling that Richard might have told more than I was willing to share. Was it too much to ask to have some details of my past left unsaid? That was pretty much where we left the conversation. Neither of us uttered a word as we left the bathroom and got in the bed. Lucius pulled me in his arms and muttered something I couldn’t understand. As annoyed as I was, it took me no time to fall asleep. My issue was that I felt as if I hadn’t slept at all when he woke me up with gentle kisses he traced over my skin. I tried to escape his hold and pull the blanket over my head, five more minutes was all I needed, but Lucius was dead set on waking me - one way or another. And in this case, he chose the latter one. A yelp of surprise left

Lucius povI bursted out in laughter the moment the guy covered his junk and looked around like a goddamn lemur. His eyes were so wide, I started worrying they might pop out. Until they landed on Eden. She instantly squeezed my hand a little tighter. Oh, would you look at this, I guess I already found my first victim. A sly grin spread across my lips as I let go of her hand to toss my arm around her shoulders and pull her closer. “Who the fuck are you? Get your dirty paws off my mate!” The guy suddenly screamed. Honestly, I found it amusing how embarrassed and angry he looked. “I suggest you get dressed before you try to enter a competition with this guy. From what I’ve seen of you, he is bloody massive. I mean, look at him, he is a giant who’s packing a solid monster compared to your micro treasure. Or do you prefer pulling them out for measuring? Cause if you do, boy, I’ll gladly pull mine out too.” Titus laughed as he walked closer to the guy. I was about to stop my best frie

Eden povThis new revelation was unnerving. Not only because now I had two men close to me who were in danger, but also because Lucius looked seriously worried. He wasn’t the type to show the concern. “Should I ask my mate to release them?” I blurted out as my eyes set on Asher and Kayla, both still reeling in pain. The Alpha glanced over his shoulder, but he didn’t look like he was too eager to set them both free anytime soon. “I suppose so,” he grunted. “The wicked witch will come to the brat’s rescue anytime soon anyway,” the Alpha added in a whisper. Lucius chuckled and flicked his wrist. As soon as he did, both Kayla and Asher collapsed on the floor, panting for their breaths. I knew it was evil, I really did, but I couldn’t help but feel happy for their misery. For once, I wasn’t on the receiving end of someone’s mistreatment. Besides, seeing the man who rejected me, forced to his knees, butt naked at that, made me feel a little giddy.“Are you planning to stay in the packho

Lucius povAs I stood from my seat, I held Eden close to my chest and nodded at the Alpha. Titus didn’t move from his place even when I stopped by the door. “Oh, I almost forgot there is one more detail I need to point out.” Slowly, I turned around and glared at the step-monster. She cast her gaze down to her feet, surely to hide the displeased look on her face. I knew that bitch had to be planning something. “What is it?” The Alpha asked. I didn’t look at the ill man simply because I had a feeling that he had no part in the madness his wife had created behind his back. With a wide smile on my lips, I spoke. “I need the financial documents. Don’t get ahead of yourself because I’m not asking for anything pack related. Yet. For now, I need the reports of where my mates money has been spent so far and if it’s still being used. I am aware that her parents left quite hefty wealth behind and all was supposed to go to Eden. However, I don’t see any money or cards on her.” As the words l

Eden povLucius sighed and tightened his hold around me. “How about we leave it for later, then? For when things aren’t as crazy as they are today and we return back home? Then, we can start working on a training plan and some self-defense lessons for you. If being too weak is what you truly fear, let me tell you one thing...” He brought one of his hands to my chin and tilted my head so our eyes met. “You are far from weak, my love. Someone who was forced to crawl to hell and back is anything but weak. While you base your value and strength on who you are, you dismiss so many important details it’s a little sad. It gets worse when you put yourself down like this. Just because so many people mistreated and abused you in the past doesn’t mean you have to treat yourself the way they did. You are so much better than that.” I couldn’t explain the things his words did to me. No one had ever seen me like Lucius did. He saw me for me, not the things I had been called. Although his assuranc
