The Alpha's Eden

Sneaky little she-wolf

Eden PoV

There was something so satisfying, so powerful about holding a persons heart in your hands. Especially when it belongs to a person that should have used that heart to cherish and nurture you but instead they saw you as a nothing but a burden  that needed to be removed from existence. Ending my mother's life with my brother was cathartic too, not only did it finally end our mothers life on our terms but it ended the rift between us and brought us back together closer than ever.

As fucked up as it sounded I knew deep down in my bones that Sawyer would never have hurt me if it wasn't for our parents and that he would die for me.

He would protect me from the monsters, even if one of them was our own flesh and blood, our father.

We both knew what the end goal was and as messy as the path leading towards it was, we were doing the right thing.

By now the rest of the group had joined us and I felt wide eyes gazing at me as I stated down at the heart in my hands, the bright claret red blood that soaked my skin and stained my clothes. That was all I could think about- the blood.

"Devon where's the jar?" I gulped hard trying to refocus on our next steps instead of the pounding sound of the wolves pulses that surrounded me in this tight space.

I could hear their hearts beating and the valves of the heart opening and closing letting blood rush through their bodies as if it was a wave lapping against the sand.

I could taste the metallic copper ok the tip of my tongue and my mums blood smelt like a bitter sweet perfume lingering in the air.

"Eden how often have your eyes been like that?" Alex frowned using the camera mode on his phone to show me my reflection. My eyes shone a bright lilac and my pupils were dilated as if I was drunk.

"A few times, when my emotions are -" I tried to think through the haze and not think about blood, fuck, there was just so much blood. It was everywhere overloading my senses and making everything else dull to nothing.

"Heightened? Anger, lust? " Alex finished my sentence gazing over at his brothers who looked on with equal concern.

"Umm... I..I'm not sure just lust I think but they changed back quickly why?"

"They weren't like that before" Sawyer realised sounding perplexed by the change in me, his own sisters eyes after the violent act. Usually my eyes would have been like that during but not  changed to that state afterwards. I could see the worry in his eyes.

"You can't stop thinking about it can you? Right now it's all consuming. Taking over every one of your senses like an obsession?" Caleb stepped forward examining me as he spoke, watching my reactions to his words. How did he know? How could he possibly understand how I was feeling when I didn't even know myself?

"Is someone going to fill me in on why you needed me here?" Devon seemed so confused by everything and as he sealed the jar with mums heart it and secured it in the bag that Caleb had brought along he grabbed his phone.

"This stays between us" Sawyer snatched the phone quickly and gave a stark warning that left no room of questions.

"Listen to me as your Luna... as your friend. Sawyer and I discussed this already so what he is about to do is for everyone's safety okay? But what happens stays between us until I say otherwise. I need to tell my mates okay? But promise me you will protect Sawyer from them? He is the only one that can do this but right now if he comes near me I'm scared what I will do" my words came out far more shaken than I'd hoped but everyone nodded in agreement and the look in their eyes told me they knew what I meant without having to say the words.
