Zane’s POVOur two armies stood, facing one another. On the front line of our army was me, Eden, Astrid, Alpha Miles, Beta Brighton, and Storm who had left Lucia to join us.On the front line of Skylar’s army was Skylar and all his Gammas.Our army had warriors, but we also had mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, grandparents, children, teenagers, maids, omegas…anyone and everyone under the sun.Skylar had just warriors.Our original plan was to offer the Gammas whatever Skylar had offered them. We were going to attempt to bribe our way out of this war.But I had another idea.“I want all the children,” I said. “Storm and Astrid, tell the children to come forward.”“What are you doing,” Eden asked, eyes wide.Skylar and his Gammas were also watching with wide eyes. He’d held back his attack when my warriors arrived. Now he was watching me, skepticism etched on his face.“Trust me,” I told Eden.Astrid and Storm did as I asked. They quickly gathered all the children. Their mothers release

Eden’s POVHe fell to my feet and clutched at my ankles. He wailed and protested. Begged and begged. It was a disgusting display. I was embarrassed for him, Skylar.“Please, Queen Eden, no! Exile me. Imprison me. Give me a different death! Anything but that!”Blah blah blah. I watched him, my eyebrows furrowed. “Are you done yet?” I asked. “You’re making a mockery of yourself. Stand back up. Be a man. I have cast my sentence. Take it like an Alpha.”Beside me, Zane smiled with pride. I was surprised he’d given me this decision. I knew how much he hated Skylar. I knew how much he wanted to tear him to shreds right here, right now. And Slade? I could imagine what he was thinking.I didn’t know yet everything that Zane had been through. Just as he didn’t know what I’d been through. But I could feel his pain and anger. Just as I knew he could feel mine.Skylar wouldn’t stand. He just kept crying at my feet. I kicked him off.Death by white lace poison was a cruel sentence. I knew that. It

Eden’s POVHe didn’t have to ask me twice. A nice, hot shower sounded heavenly. He reached around and undid the zipper of my shirt. It fell away, revealing my bra. Then he slowly pulled down my pants.At first, I was a little embarrassed by my pregnant belly. I didn’t feel like it was very sexy. Zane however, thought very differently. He moaned and started rubbing my belly.“It’s beautiful,” he sighed. “Eden, YOU’RE beautiful.”“I want to feel your chest,” I said.He removed his shirt. His chest was just as I remembered it. Muscular and smooth. I ran my hands over it, biting my lip.I had to control myself. If I didn’t, I would start begging him to take me right then and there.“Let me start the shower,” he said. “I’ll get it nice and warm for you. Come join me in five minutes.”I nodded coyly and he walked away. Moments later I heard the faucet start.Five minutes felt like a lifetime. I removed my bra and panties. Then I made the mistake of looking in the mirror.I was filthy!There

Eden’s POVAs soon as I woke up, I bolted upright.Where was I?I squinted against the morning sun. I was naked. And this bed was so soft. And…“Good morning,” Zane smiled lazily at me. “Where do you think you’re going?”He pulled me back towards him. Right. I was back at the palace. The war was over. Zane and I had found each other again. We’d spent last night…Oh my. I blushed when I thought about what we did last night.He wrapped his arms around me and I melted into him. He nibbled at my neck.“This is how I want to wake up for the rest of my life,” he whispered in my ear. Then I felt something pressing against my back.It was…it was his…member?He was already hard!I blushed again. He reached around, his hands groping for my breasts.“Zane,” I said, “we can’t. We have a breakfast meeting. In case you’ve forgotten, the entire boundary is in shambles. We have to restore it.”“Nooooo,” he sighed. “We have to stay here in bed all day while I ravish you.”His hands found my breast. An

Eden’s POVI sat there, by the lake, reflecting on everything Zane had told me. I think I felt just about every emotion possible.I was angry that she’d lied. She was alive this whole time and she let me believe she was dead. I felt betrayed by that, even though I knew Zane was right…it was complicated.And of course I felt sad. My heart went out to her. From the sounds of it, she wanted to be a werewolf. She was raised in a pack, but she harboured a deep, dark secret. There was a witch in her. That couldn’t have been easy, carrying that secret around. And then?She’d been married. And she’d had a child. And all the while, she could feel the witch inside of her, rising.She HAD to leave. She didn’t want to. I was sure of it. She tried so hard for so long to belong. But in the end, the witch won out and Calista’s hands had been tied.What was it like for her, I wondered. Leaving the pack and asking to join her half-sister’s coven? I didn’t know much about this ‘Lucinda’ person, but fro
