Chapter 168
(Eden’s Pov)
My mother blew her nose into the napkin folded in her palm. I wasn’t sure what to think. Ever since I woke up, everything had been happening way too fast, all at once. I thought coming Home would help me clear my mind.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I felt my stomach clench, as a great desire to run away gripped me. I could feel Tiara’s patience wearing thin, but I forced myself to stay still.
I never imagined for once that my mother might have gone through the pain of unrequited love. I know first hand, the torture that comes along with your mate rejecting you, and watching him sleep with another.
“I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Olivia.” My mother whispered, drawing back.
“You are not to blame.” I wiped a fallen tear off her cheek. “And nothing will happen to my sister”
Eros placed his hand on my shoulder from behind me, his warmth seeped into my skin, comforting me.
I had to face this. I needed to know the full truth, who exactly my father was. What’s his name? Did he ever come to look for me? Does he even know I exist? Or maybe he just doesn’t want me?
“Mom…” I started and trailed off as my mother stared at me with bloodshot eyes.
“Yes?”
“Nothing.” I whispered. This wasn’t the right time.
My mom nodded and moved away, mopping her eyes dry as she croaked out “You should get settled, Eden. Your room is cleaned already. You should rest.” she forced a smile on her face.
I responded with a nod, but before I could reach for the small luggage I brought along with me, Eros pulled it up, going before me.
Most of my belongings were in Eros‘ home, and all I could bring along was this bag. I figured it contained what I needed for my little stay.
I followed behind Eros, while my Mom silently entered her room. It was obvious she needed time to herself.
So do I.
I was still trying to wrap my head around that my Father was a Vampire, and my mother hooked up
with for a one night
stand.
It didn’t make me feel good. How is it that she refused to tell me about this after all these years until now?
Eros pushed the bedroom door open, and we both entered.
Nothing had changed. It was almost the same way I left it, just cleaner. As I looked around, it felt as if time hadn’t passed. I was back to my 18 year old self dreaming of finding my one true mate and living a happily ever life.
A small smile coated my lips.
Eros dropped the bag and turned to catch me smiling. He looked around and grinned.
“Happy memories?” He asked

I nodded. My mind suddenly became trapped in my childhood for a moment. “Lot’s of it. Olivia and I were inseparable. Mom was the absolute best.”
My smile fell. “It’s sad to see what is happening to my family.”
Eros closed the gap his hands.
between us in one move. He pulled me to the edge of the bed and sat me down as he cradled my face in
“Nothing can take away your happiness if you don’t allow it. I want you to know that.”
I stared deep into his eyes, watching the kindness dancing in its depth and I felt my heart melt.
I laid my head on his shoulder, feeling my heart race a little too quickly.
Eros fingers intertwined with mine, sending a little shiver down my spine.
“I understand now.” He started, his voice low and husky. “Your hybrid transformation was seamless because you were a true hybrid.”
“I’m still in shock,” I mumbled.
Eden chuckled and planted a small kiss on the inside of my palm. My skin tingled as he whispered on my skin. “I miss you so much. When will you come home to me? I don’t think I can wait any longer. I need you.”
I lift my head and my eyes locked unto his. Before I could reply, he continued.
“On our way here, the kingmakers sent a message to me. They now know that you’ve awakened, and demand that we come to claim our rightful place as King and Queen.
I shivered. Not from desire this time.
“Can I have more time before then?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
Eros‘ gaze softened as his hold tightened on mine. “Sure. But we are in this together. We’ll face it as one.”
I nodded.
Eros brought his hands back to my face once more as he positioned me for a kiss. He leaned in, his lips hastily meeting mine.
I moaned as he softly bit down on my lower lip, forcing me to open up as he went deeper, our tongues dancing a feverish tango.
My skin tingle, my stomach felt light and fuzzy as my toes curl from the intense passion.
I wrapped my hands around his neck trying to keep up with the kiss, but Eros was faster, hungrier.
In seconds, I was naked while Eros had his shirt off, and with one move, he picked me off the bed and wrapped my legs around his waist, making me settle against the bulge in his pants
Heat pooled in between my legs, and Eros growled, smelling my arousal.
“I want you so bad…”
His fingers quickly found their way between my legs as he buried a finger deep into me.
“Eros!” I gasped, feeling him work his way through, in and out. Slow pumps that soon became faster, and faster. “Oh yes…” I moaned louder.

I moved my hips against his fingers, grinding trying to reach climax when Eden quickly pulled away. I groaned in disapproval, but he smirked.
He reached for his pants, and pulled his Length free. And before I could make another sound, Eros pulled me himself deep into me.
He filled me. For a moment he didn’t move, then he stood up, taking me along as he laid me on the bed.

He pulled out slowly to the tip, then slammed into me with a force that had me gripping the bed for support. I screamed as he continued to drive into me, in and out, continuously until I was at the edge.
My claws elongated as I dug into his skin. Eros released an animalistic growl, lifting his head slightly as his eyes glowed.
“you are so beautiful…” Eros whispered as his pace increased. “Call my name…”
“Eros… oh… yes, oh, my…Ah!” I screamed as my climax hit.
My body shook as my eyes rolled to the back. Eros increased his pace, breathing heavier as he got closer to the edge.
My toes curled, and I lifted myself to match his pace until we finally screamed out together.
Eros collapsed against me, and I wrapped my hands around his sweaty skin.
“I’ll miss you” Eros whispered in my ear and rolled to the side.
“Me too.” I smiled. I snuggled close to him, as we fell asleep in minutes.
When I woke up, I smiled as details of last night’s love–making flashed through my
mind.
I reached out to touch Eros on the other side of the bed, then frowned when I felt the soft pillow under my palms.
I opened my eyes to the empty spot beside me.
No Eros.
All that was left of him was his insane musky scent.

I pulled the sheets back with a frown, as I moved closer to the other end. I spotted a small handwritten note that sat on the bed, and picked it up. It was Eros‘ refined writing.
You look beautiful when you sleep, and didn’t have the heart to wake you. Also got a call that I needed to attend to, will be back in a bit. Don’t miss me much.
Love, Eros.
I smiled, and twirled the paper around in my hand, tracing the beautiful curve of his writing as I imagined him penning down every word while he stared at me.
I almost squealed, feeling the excitement boil over.
Eros‘ words soothed me. I hugged the letter to my chest, taking in a deep breath and recalled the memories from last night which still left a flutter in my chest.
The way he drove me insane with passion, his strength and how he took me to the cliff and back again. It never failed to amaze me, how Eros always has me melting at just one touch.
I have missed him. The Eros I had met in the other realm scared me so much that I thought I would never get to be held so tenderly in his arms again.
I shivered.
I shook my head off the thoughts, and finally stood up. I went to the bathroom, listening out for any sounds coming from the other side of the house.
Nothing.
The house was silent.
No sound of movement or clattering pans to announce my mother’s presence in her kitchen. Ever since Eros and I entered, the room yesterday, I hadn’t seen her. It’s almost as if she wasn’t in the house.
I sighed, and turned the faucet on. I scooped water into my mouth, rinsed it and poured it back out, before I brushed my teeth and washed my face.
I finally looked at the mirror. I was glowing. My red hair shone and my eyes were bright, too bright. A smile curled up my
wolf. lips as I also saw a reflection of my
“Tiara…” I gasped.
She was radiant. Her fur shimmered like there was a glow of light shining over her. Her eyes burned with a fierce intensity. Her ears stood up as she stared at me with so much confidence that I felt my chest swell.
She looked beautiful. Her beauty was breathtaking, almost as if the moon goddess herself had descended. She looked like a
queen.
“We were destined to be more.” Tiara replied to my thought. “We are more than just a hybrid wolf, we are royalty, touched by the goddess herself.”
Tiara seemed to glow more as she said those words.
“I’m scared…” I finally whispered. “When Eros asked me to go back with him to take the throne, I thought… for a moment

calmed as she lowered her head. Unable to stop myself, I placed my hand on the mirror as if to touch her
“We don’t have to be.” Tiara whispered. “We are strong.”
I sighed. “I don’t know.” I looked away.

“The moon goddess made us go through those trials in the other realm, to prepare us for our queenship. You are more than ready. We just need to accept it.”
“How I’m I sure that we are destined for this? What if the people reject us just as Theo rejected us?” I asked.
Tiara’s gaze hardened again as she spoke more firmly. “We were never meant to be Theo’s mate, but the Queen of the realm, guiding with wisdom and Justice. Theo was just a test.”
It suddenly felt like I could finally understand what everything has been about. And in that moment, months of pain and agony became nothing more than trials.
It felt like I was released from a burden. I no longer looked at myself as that unwanted Omega, but instead, as a chosen hybrid wolf blessed by the goddess to rule.
A certain sense of satisfaction and contentment filled me immediately. I closed my eyes and inhaled, enjoying the feeling.
“Eden!” I opened my eyes immediately at the change in Tiara’s voice. It was louder and more ethereal. I looked in the mirror, and saw that Tiara had a far away look in her eyes, and they glowed a brilliant white as her fur swirled like it was caught in a windstorm. She looked…possessed
Moon goddess?
“Tiara?” I called. Only this wasn’t Tiara.
“You know who I am.” The moon goddess responds in Tiara’s voice. “Beware! There’s danger ahead.” she continued.
I frowned. “Danger? What are you talking about?”
“Do not be afraid. I have bestowed powers upon you that will help you overcome it. I have given you more powers that will only be unveiled when you most need them. Powers that will protect you, and no harm will come your way. You must protect the child. For it will bring balance to the realms.”
I reeled back, shock suspending my mind. A child?
I placed a hand on my stomach, and before I could ask to speak, a loud knock on the door broke the silence. I looked away from the mirror when the knock didn’t stop.
From how quiet the house has been, I was sure my mother should’ve heard the knock too.
By the time I looked back at the mirror, the moon goddess and Tiara were gone. I stared at my face and sighed, then went back into the room and picked up a shirt and shorts which I wore in a hurry and scurried downstairs.
As I approached the door, I stopped and then hesitated. There was something different. I could feel it. Some kind of powerful aura emanating from the other side of the door.
It was so strong that Tiara whined. I felt compelled to back down
Refusing to be trapped in it, I forced myself forward, and opened the door.
I gasped.

Chapter 169
I have seen my fair share of handsome men, Eros was by far one of the most handsome men I know. But the man that appeared before me, the stranger, was no doubt beautiful.

He had a sleek almost flawless look to his beauty. The smirk he wore on his face made him look arrogant. He looked down at me, something he could do easily with his towering height.
However I couldn’t see the full details of his eyes. The hat he wore shielded it from my gaze. My eyes flicked to the staff he held in one hand, his jacket worn over a clean white shirt and neatly pressed slacks with the long coat worn over them and his dress shoes.
He looked like he just stepped out of a retro movie,
I frowned.
“Hello daughter,” he said.
