Chapter 185
There was no one in sight
All that surrounded me wererge trees and bushy paths, 1 quickened my steps.
Soon I got into an open street, and I began to see more people. <b>Most </b>of them dressed in the usual 90s–era clothes. I was alre
I was already used to it
In a way, I looked out of ce in my <b>shorts </b>and top. I didn’t put much thought into my clothes before I left, and I wasn’t about to get worried now.
I didn’t have to walk for a long time before I spotted a payphone.
Typical
I hurried toward the booth. It was already upied by a young man. I waited for a few seconds for him to fuish hivrall.
He hung up and turned to me with <b>a </b>small wink. I rolled my eyes then stepped forward to make my rall
I tried to <b>pay</b><b>, </b>before I realized I needed a coin for that, not cash.
“Excuse me. I called out to the man who <b>was </b>just about to walk away.
He looked back with his eyebrows raised. “Yes.”
“Can you help me with some coins? I have cash to exchange
e with.”
<b>He </b>smirked and scanned my body length.
“A pretty girl needs help, huh?” He bit the inside of his lips.
r <b>than </b>I expected
I held myself back from rolling my eyes again. This would take longer
h in exchange. How about your
The <b>man </b>dug his hand into his pocket and brought some coins. “I have some to spare, <b>but </b>I don’t want your cash
My nose red, I don’t have time for this.
I blew <b>out </b>a breath in exasperation before I finally answered.
“Eden.” I stretched my hand for the coin. “Now, please.”
He smiled and dropped the coins on my opened <b>palm</b>. He watched me while I slipped it into the <b>machine</b>.
“<b>You </b>know I haven’t seen you around here before,” he started <b>again</b>.
I ignored him and dialed Eros’s number. The phone rang once, twice
“Are you new here?” The stranger
asked
I spun around in anger. “Leave me alone” I growled.
He raised his hands in surrender and backed off
I turned my attention back to the phone that kept <b>ringing </b>without an answer, hung up, slipped in anothercoin, and dialed Beauty’s number <b>from </b>the journal
After two rings, she picked up with a little huff,
“Hello?”
I gasped in relief. Rex
“Beauty?” I asked.
“Yes. Who is this?” Beauty asked.
“It’s Eden”
There was a short pause, then a scule. Beauty’s voice ca line, but it hasn’t been going through. What happened<b>!” </b>
came out more desperate. “Eden? Where
in the moon are you? I <b>have </b>been i
trying to call your
“It’s a long story,” I said softly.
“Where <b>are </b>you<b>?</b>” She <b>asked</b>.

Chapter 183
I looked around.
<ol>
<li>“I’m in a coven.” I said softly. “It’s a long story, but right now I need you and the rest of the team.” </li>
</ol>
“What do you
mean a
a Coven?” Beauty gasped.
“I can’t start to exin. But I need your help; I need to get out of here <b>as </b><b>fast </b><b>as </b>I <b>can</b>. Lord Shevek has ns to initiate me to be a part of the coven in the next few hours. I need to get away <b>from </b>here.” I said quickly.
“What? Who is Lord Shevek “I heard another scuffle, as if beauty was running around. “How
mw do we get
to <b>you</b>!
I closed my eyes. I <b>had </b>no idea myself. “I don’t know. All I know is <b>that </b>the <b>coven </b>is <b>only </b>an hour’s drive away from my mother’s ce. Lord Shevek
is in control here.”
“That’s enough information. I will get what I need to know. Calm down, We anyone toe take you <b>away</b>” Beatrice said firmly,
We will
You </b><b>are </b>already <b>a </b>part of our pack, we won’t let
My eyes watered as 1 let out a soft breath. I <b>was </b>beginning to feel a lite scared. I couldn’t afford to make my way <b>out </b>of here for fear that Lord Shevek might hate me or even send his people after me. Plus<b>, </b>I don’t know my way around this territory.
If anything, I have learned enough to know that he treated traitors harshly.
“<b>Please </b>bring Eros along with you. Tell him I need him.” I said. Tiara whimpered in consent. My wolf misses her male.
“Eros <b>won’t </b>being.”
I paused. I took a moment to take in Beauty’s answer.
<b>“</b>What N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
do you mean Eros will not being?” I growled, “Where is he?”
The tears that threatened to fall streamed down my cheekbones. Why would my mate refuse toe and save me?
Was this all because of Susie? Has he gotten tired of me and decided to take another woman?”
I couldn’t control the cries that
at slipped out of my lips.
“Eros is not in a position to go anywhere he wants. He is currently with the kingmakers, and he is going through some kind of ancient ritual. I don’t know all the details, but he won’t be able to leave there, if not he would ruin everything and that iwould spell destruction for the entire realm.” Beauty exined in a rush.
The tears stopped. I sniffed and dried my eyes as I felt the weight in my heart lighten a little.
He was held down by rituals? And not Susie? Maybe there was still a chance to fix things.
“Please hurry.” <b>I </b>said.
“Definitely.” Beauty said and ended the call
I mopped my face with the back of my hand. I sniffed and suddenly became alert, Goose bumps grew on my skin.
Someone or something was watching me. I could feel it.
I stepped out of the booth and looked around. Then my eyes caught sight of him.
Ryker. He stood hidden in the shadows between buildings as he
e watched me.
Why was he here? <b>How </b>did he know where I <b>was</b>? I was so sure no one had followed me out from the mansion to the booth
Did he hear my conversation with Beauty? If he did, why was he still here? He could <b>have </b>gone back to tell his master that I was nning to run away. Or maybe he didn’t hear <b>a </b>word of iL
I shivered. I could sense his powerful aura even from where I stood. Has he always had such powerful aura? Or <b>was </b>I so carried away he looked like Eros that I didn’t notice it?
I moved away, deliberately walking as fast as <b>I </b>could towards the trees.
<b>by </b>how much
The idea was that if I walked fast enough, I would lose him in the forest. The <bst </b>thing I wanted was for him to <b>figure </b>out m
my ns to num
<b>to </b>run away
