Eden's POVI went to see Serena first. They were all being held separately. I wanted to talk to Serena. To get the whole story from her. Adrian was being held for treason. I needed to know exactly what he had done.The dungeon door swung open and as soon as Serena saw me, she narrowed her eyes.She looked like hell. Her face was covered in dirt and her hair was a tangled mess. Her clothes were torn. She was a far cry from the put-together, well-dressed Serena I’d known before this whole incident.My heart felt heavy for her. She was so young. It was love that had driven her to this. She was guilty, yes. But is anyone REALLY guilty when it comes to love? We all do crazy things for love. I had sympathy for her.Serena, however, was clearly NOT happy to see me.“Come to gloat?” she scoffed.“Not at all,” I responded, softly.“Yeah right. I bet. The Lycan King’s girlfriend! So what? You’re just dropping by to say ‘hello’? I don’t think so. You’ve come here to make fun of me. You’re a sadi

Eden's POVI watched Astrid stride away.Something strange was going on in the Northern packs, but neither Zane nor Astrid wanted me to know about it.I decided to ask around myself. Maybe someone else had heard something?I was walking out of the dining room, when Zane grabbed my arm.His fingers curled over my bicep, tightly. “Eden,” he said, a half-smile on his face. “Will you go for a walk with me? We should talk.”I couldn’t have agreed more. Things between Zane and I were really complicated. I’d seen him snap at Caleb. I didn’t like that. In a jealous rage, he’d even accused me of still harboring feelings for Caleb. I didn’t like that either. He was so possessive. That rubbed me the wrong way. I wanted to be with him, but I couldn’t be a prisoner. And I wasn’t sure he could ever let me be free. These were all things I didn’t like.But my heart? My heart liked Zane. It really did. I was wildly attracted to him. There was no denying that. Plus, I was carrying his child. Maybe, th

Eden's POVI gasped.I was…I was still alive!I reached for my throat, as though I needed proof. It hadn’t been sliced. I scrambled to my feet.The man made choking noises, his eyes wide with fear as he looked down at Zane. Zane’s eyes were full of fury and wrath. I had no idea where Zane had come from. How did he get in? How did I know I was in trouble?I didn’t care.All that mattered was that I was still alive.Zane held the intruder up in the air for a few more moments.“Drop it,” Zane demanded. The man released the knife. Even in the darkness, I could see his face turning an awful shade of purple. Then Zane released him. He fell to the floor with an awful thud.Zane towered over him. The man sputtered, trying to take in breath. He rubbed his neck. Zane reached down and grabbed the knife. He tossed it onto the bed.“Get up,” he ordered the man. The man stood, his legs visibly shaking. “Do you know who I am?” Zane asked. The man backed himself up against the bed. Another gust of wi

Zane's POVOne of my warriors knocked on my door. It was early. I stretched and yawned, wondering what a warrior could want this early?Then I remembered the night before, and happiness flooded through me.She’d agreed!Eden had agreed to have the Meeting Ceremony with me! We were going to restore our bond. She was mine! All mine!“King Zane?” the warrior said, a little more loudly.Right. The warrior outside my door.“Yes?” I called through the door.“Alpha Miles had requested to see you. He said it’s urgent?”At this ungodly hour? What could possibly be so important? Sometimes, being King was rough. There was always something to attend to, some sort of business, some meeting that ‘requires my immediate attention.’Truth be told, moments like this, I didn’t love being King. I wanted to lounge in bed and let thoughts of my dear, sweet Eden wash over me. But…“What shall I tell him?” the warrior called.“Tell him I’ll meet him in his private office in twenty minutes. But he better have

Eden's POVI paced outside the courtroom, frantic with worry. Right now, inside the room, Serena, Adrian, and Storm were facing the werewolf judge. They’d have their sentencing any moment, and I was sick with anxiety.As the Lycan King, Zane was inside too. I wasn’t allowed inside, though. It was a private trial.Just when I thought I’d explode from the anticipation, I heard a gavel pound the desk.It was over. They’d been sentenced.Moments later, the door swung open. Storm came out first, his hands cuffed behind him. His face was stoic, his head held high. I made eye contact with him. There was fire in his eyes but I didn’t know what that meant!Next came Serena. Her eyes were red and puffy. Her cheeks were damp with tears. Snot ran from her nose but she had no way to wipe it off.“Serena?” I asked, but she refused to look my way.Seconds later, out walked Adrian.He looked like hell. His hair was a disheveled mess and there were dark rings under his eyes. He glanced at me, only for
