ZANE’S POVWhen I got the text message from Maggie telling us to meet in my study for us to discuss, I became anxious to the extent that I lost my appetite.The look on Maeve’s face and the way she dropped her cutlery on her plate made me know she got the same message.I reached out my hand on the table and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze because she looked more tense than I was.“Everything is going to be alright. We are going to be okay. Hmm?” I said to her with a reassuring smile and she nervously smiled at me.“Let’s not keep them waiting,” She said and stood up from her chair.I followed suit and we headed for my study.I had a feeling that something happened between Maeve and Patricia when I walked in on them this morning.But I couldn't tell exactly what it was, because whatever happened between them or whatever is what they discussed, Maeve wasn’t thinking about it, hence making me not be able to get my answer from her thoughts.I made a mental note to ask her whenever we we
ZANE’S POV“A few on our way coming to the study just now, we received a call from the other pack's armed forces, that the Crescent Moon pack that we all think is a pack which is now a wasteland, is inhabited by werewolves with unknown identities. We think they are from the Crescent Moon pack,” Damien explained with seriousness.“That isn’t all, they have been secretly sneaking into packs and trying to infiltrate the pack house of all the other 11 packs,” Khal added and I couldn't help but frown.“How is that possible? I thought the whole Crescent Moon pack was wiped out?” I asked myself more than them.“Unless, that is what the inhabitants of Crescent Moon pack made us believe. I mean Maeve having survived is proof enough,” Maggie said and we all turned to look at Maeve.Maeve was of course surprised to hear that she wasn’t the only survivor of her pack.Come to think of it, she had never brought up the issue of how she felt about being from that pack. This must have been a sensitive
MAEVE’S POVI would be lying if I said I didn't have a headache coming on after I heard Alpha Zane plans to go to my pack. What baffled me was I heard that it wasn’t just a wasteland as everyone thought.I didn’t feel so alone anymore after I heard I wasn't the only survivor from my pack. Part of me wanted to know more about them but I knew I couldn't.Because if pack members were to find out I was truly from Crescent moon, I would be removed from my position and executed immediately.Alpha Zane’s plan to get the Orb wasn’t a bad idea, but the fact that he said he would be going with just Khal and Damien was the bad idea which made it clear to me that this was a suicide mission.If the pack members in Crescent moon pack were to recognize them, they would be as good as dead.And we weren’t even sure if Alpha Zane’s was right in what he said about the basic need supply thing.But when I heard Maggie said she would protect them, I couldn’t help but believe that she actually could, becau
ZANE’S POVThe reason I took out the goblet which was passed over to me by my father and wanted to use it for the spell was that I thought if we used it to do the spell, it would bring good luck.After all, the goblet was an ancient artifact and my father told me stories about how the moon goddess's first creation had a drink with the moon goddess using this goblet gifted to him by the moon goddess.When Khal began coughing, I knew he was avoiding being the first whose blood would be drawn.I appreciated their efforts of agreeing to follow me to search for the orb.If it were another ambitious Beta and Gamma, they would be happy to watch me die without any child to succeed me.Which would have made it easy for them to take over the Alpha position.But Damien and Khal were supportive of me since they found out about the dying part of my curse.“You don’t need to put on a show Khal. I was going to be the first anyway,” I said which made Khal stop coughing as a look of embarrassment made
MAEVE’S POVI was angry at the fact that Alpha Zane avoided looking at me. He made it seem as though they were going to die or something.And it made me fucking scared. I didn’t want to lose him. I wanted us to be together even after death.That was why when we got to his room, I couldn’t hold back my emotions anymore.I didn’t know what he was expecting me to show him, but he was surprised when I crushed his lips with mine.This was what I wanted to show him. How much I yearned for him. How much I loved him. He froze for a few seconds as though he didn’t expect me to kiss him but he eventually grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him.The kiss was rough and demanding due to how we poured our unsaid words and emotions into the kiss.He tasted like the scrambled egg we just had for breakfast. The fear and uncertainty of whether or not Alpha Zane would succeed made me aroused.Since I couldn't stop him from going because his mind was already made up and it would have also been self
ZANE’S POVPatricia walked into the room just when Maeve wanted to walk out. I was nervous but I couldn’t back off now. Maeve looked uneasy when Patricia came into the room without even waiting for our response to invite her into the room.But out all the time that Patricia could have wanted to see me why now? Well, whatever it was, it would have to wait till I successfully made it back from the Crescent moon pack with the Orb.“What is the problem, Pat? And how many have I told you to always knock and wait for my response before you come into my room?” I asked her and when we made eye contact.There was a look in her eye I couldn't fathom.“I would like to speak to you about something really important,” She said calmly, which was unlike her.All my life that I grew up with Patricia, she was always a rebellious and arrogant girl, except whenever she was with my parents, and seeing her calmly speaking to me right now puzzled me.“Uhm…Can it wait till I am back? I have somewhere really
MAEVE’S POVWhen we pulled onto the road heading to my mom’s place to get a few things before we headed to Waning Moon Pack, I couldn’t help but think of Alpha Zane and the others.I prayed to the moon goddess to keep them safe and bring them back to us unharmed.“You should stop being worried or something might truly happen to them,” Maggie said with a chuckle but her eyes were still on the road.“Do you think Alpha Zane and I can ever surpass the ill fate that awaits our love?” I asked Maggie who looked relaxed despite everything that was happening.“Of course, I am sure you both will have a happy ending. Just believe in yourselves,” Maggie encouraged me with a small smile.The genesis of Alpha Zane’s curse was the person who cursed the Whitlocks.I wish I could see the person, so I could ask what the Whitlocks could have done to receive such a cruel curse.“Do you by any chance know when the Whitlock curse began?” I asked Maggie.“Well, no one ever talked about it due to fear since
ZANE’S POVI sat down patiently waiting for Maeve to reply to my text while Damien and Khal continued to debate on who would act the passed-out part.“If you are this tensed, then how do you expect Damien and I to be?” Khal asked me all of a sudden bringing my attention back to them“Well… It’s just that Maeve hasn’t replied to my text and it’s making me worried,” I answered, making Khal and Damien give me a teasing look.I rolled my eyes knowing what would happen next as I inwardly counted one to three.“You’re such a lover boy,” Khal was the first to tease me making me glare at him.I couldn’t help but think that his Character and Charlotte’s matched each other. Maybe that was the moon goddess who made them mates.“I thought you said that you both can read each other's thoughts and feelings. If you don’t feel anything out of the usual, then that means you’re just been worried for nothing,” Damien said with his eyes still on the road and his face void of any emotions.I thought abo
