EDENThe meeting went by in a flash, mostly because I wasn't listening to anything that was being said. So much was going on at once.For starters, Roman's eyes didn't move off my body the moment we looked at each other. The heat that washed over me every time he squinted his eyes, it was like he could see right through my soul.Even when I looked away, I could still feel a burning sensation on my body and it made me so uncomfortable. I didn't know how he managed to hear anything when his eyes were on me throughout.And I couldn't help myself from looking at him. It was stay damned suit he was wearing today. Black was definitely his color and he knew it. He was dressed in an all black suit with a black shirt and as simple as that sounded, it looked as elegant as could be.Him being a king wasn't a mistake. It was like he heard my thoughts because he smirked.Secondly, Selena had stolen everything I prepared for this project and that was what she presented. She repeated every word in t

EDEN “You did what?!” I had to cover my ear because of how loud her voice was. Just as I'd expected, she was obviously not happy with what I'd done. “I had no other choice. What was I supposed to do? You don't know him, Alicia. Roman is a dangerous man and it would be stupid to stand up against him because you can never win.” “You should have called the police. You can take him to court! You can run away?" “Call the police and say what? My husband is trying to see my daughter and I'm hiding her away from him? Take him to court and say I don't want my husband to see our child? If I run away, I will be tagged a kidnapper.” Tears had gathered in my eyes and I could feel the large lump in my throat. “Why’re  you calling him your husband? You said you ran away on the wedding day. You never got married.&rdq

EDENI wasn't thinking of anything in particular but I was watching the movie too. Even when Kian leaned in to whisper something funny to me, it took me a second too late to laugh.He may have noticed that I was distant because as we walked out of the theater, he grabbed my hand.“Sam, is everything okay?”No.“Yeah, why're you asking?"He stepped closer.“You’re not fine. You were distracted the entire time.”I couldn't even deny it because that wouldn't be fair.“Listen, I don't know what is going on but I want to help out. You've been distant these past months and I really want to know what's going on. I want to be a part of your life, Samantha.”I wanted to say yes.I wanted to tell him that I really needed someone to lean on. But my phone rang.I ran into the hospital, bumping into people countless times as I tried to make my way to the nurse's station.My heart was beating so fast by the time I stopped in front of her and she looked up at me with a frown.“What happened to you?”

Eden“The doctor said giving her an EpiPen was what saved her. She may not have been able to speak again.”We were standing outside, Belle had fallen asleep after playing with Roman for a while and I just stood in the corner watching both of them.She mattered to Roman, I could see that. The way he was involved in the things that had to do with her was very evident.“Was it you who gave her the EpiPen?”He nodded.“I had one left."I wanted to ask what he was allergic to but I didn't. I wanted to know but then at the same time, it was none of my business.“Oats.”I raised my head.“Huh?”“I’m allergic to oats as well. That's why I asked her if she was allergic to them and that's why I had an EpiPen."Oh, she was his daughter. Of course, he would ask that. I was the one to blame for worrying and forgetting that I was supposed to tell him the most basic thing.But even he did a better job.“The bills have been paid and everything has been settled. The doctor tells me she'll be discharge

EDEN“That’s what I'm saying, Alicia. I have no idea how she found out my home address but she has been visiting everyday. She comes very early in the morning even before Belle and I are ready to leave the house and when I don't let her in, she comes back at night.”Nelly was becoming a thorn in my flesh. I didn't even know how she had found me in this city because I'd thought I had left her and everything that had to do with her back there in the pack..But it seemed like that area of my life wasn't done with me. First, it was Roman who found me. Now, it was Nelly.I wanted to ask her what she was doing here and how she had found me. What about Ryker, I thought she was married to him. She was supposed to be the Luna of both Rykers Pack and our pack so that when both Alphas died, she and Ryker would take over.Her father was dead, I still needed to know what happened but I happened but I didn't know who to ask.She was all over me, calling Belle her niece and talking about how she wan
