The Alpha's Eden

Trouble

Eden PoV

I must have slept in because Jace was no where to be seen when I stirred but the sun was high in the sky with its rays piercing through the gap in the curtains making me squint as my eyes adjusted to the light. A small figure sat at the end of the bed staring at me with what I could just about make out to be a blank look on their face.

"You lied to me" Skylar narrowed her eyes at me and cut straight to the point. Hurt laced in her voice.

"No I didn't I truly thought Jace was-" I shuffled to sit up and face her noting the look of pain etched on her beautiful face.

"No you didn't think at all. You freaked out and jumped to conclusions because you are still letting him control you" she cut me off harshly and ran her hand over her face

"Sky please don't be mad at me. I can't bear you being pissed at me aswell. Jace is pissed off at me and I don't know whether he truly loves me or just needs me close to him because of the mate bond. Then Blake was here last night and I feel this weird pull to him" I blurted out sighing deeply feeling more exhausted now than I had done when I fell asleep last night.

"I'm not mad I'm just... Look I missed you okay. I suddenly have a mate and it's been so exciting but my best friend wasn't here to talk about it with"

"I'm here now" I pointed out smiling softly as Skylar moved up the bed to sit next to me. I rested my head on her shoulder and relaxed in her company.

"Please don't leave again Ed, I missed you so much. I can't wait for you to meet Jamie. You are gonna love him he is just the cutest, funniest, sexiest person I've ever met" she cooed over her mate blushing bright pink as the love for her mate became clear as day.

"I'm so happy for you. You deserve the most amazing mate!"

"How's things between you and Jace? Why was Blake here?"

"I think the honest answer to both of those questions is I don't know! "

"Go take a shower and get dressed and I'll go get you a coffee"

"That sounds perfect and I'd there's any muffins I'd love a couple I'm starving"

"Yes Luna" Skylar teased me saluting me cheekily before age headed off on her mission.

I winced when my feet hit the cold wooden floors and tried to stand up when the discomfort from Jaces punishment tore through my midsection making me hissed between my teeth as I placed the full extend of my weight on my feet. I shuffled a few steps finding that the more I moved the easiest the aching between my legs got or perhaps I just got used to it but I managed to bear it until I went to the toilet and it felt like I'd passed acid from my bladder and I squealed out like a little injured piglet.

The shower fogged the bathroom and I enjoyed the heat easing my tight muscles and washing my aches away as the minutes passed. I washed my hair and attended to my body before turning the water off and wrapping my hair and body in the fluffiest, softest white towels I'd ever seen.

I brushed my teeth and ran a comb through my long blonde hairiness an attempt to make it dry less unruly than of I'd just left it to its own devices! 

I suddenly  hummed to myself as the smell of strong coffee filled my senses and made my mouth salivate longingly.

"That smells amazing" I drawled out taking the steaming black coffee mug from the coffee table where Skylar was busy plating an assortment of muffins and Danish pastries into a large plate.

"That's a lot of food. Are we expecting guests?" I lifted my eyebrows in surprise wondering if we were having a small party. I chuckled to myself at her crazy expression as I headed into the closet and found my clothing all ready hung up and organised in colour order like a high end designer store. I slipped on a matching white lace bra and panties then added a pair of mid blue wash skinny jeans, a white t-shirt and a white knitted cardigan to keep me warm. I sat on the edge of the bed to skip some socks on watching Skylars odd behaviour as she fiddled with her coffee mug awkwardly and avoided eye contact.
