MAEVE’S POVI felt Alpha Zane’s uncertainty and fear exactly the moment I got his message and I wished I could do something to take his fears away.Before I opened the text messages I got from Charlotte and Alpha Zane, I took some time to ponder on whether I should block Alpha Zane from getting access to my thoughts.I know we promised each other that neither of us would do that, but I wasn't sure I could hold back myself from thinking about what Patricia did any longer.I knew if I thought about it, he would know immediately and I didn't want anything to distract him.Therefore, I decided to block him from my thoughts hoping he wouldn’t have the time to notice.After that, I opened Alpha Zane’s message first and read through it with a smile on my face as I read it.He was asking me how we were doing and if we had arrived Waning Moon pack.After I replied to him telling him that everything was fine and we hadn’t arrived yet, I then opened Charlotte’s message and saw that she was inform
MAEVE’S POVI rushed to Maggie’s passed-out body on the floor while Ariana stood frozen on the spot where she stood and looked at us with shock.“Call an ambulance or a pack healer. Just do something!!” I yelled in exasperation and then began tapping Maggie severally but I didn't get a response which made me become more scared.Did it mean that since Maggie could feel what Alpha Zane, Khal, and Damien could feel, does this mean they were currently in this state too?I began to panic while Ariana took out her phone but her hands continuously kept trembling.Maggie’s phone began to ring and I took out her phone relieved to see that it was Alpha Kelvin who was calling her.I picked up the call and told him what was happening and where we were.I hadn’t even ended the call before I saw him running to us.“What happened to her?” He asked with trembling lips as he stuttered when he joined me in a kneeling position in front of Maggie’s body.Even a child would have clearly seen that he was s
ZANE’S POVTo say I was shocked when this dude standing in front said he was Maeve’s brother would be an understatement.I was utterly dumbfounded as Khal, Damien and I looked at ourselves while the dude just stood in front of us smiling.“Surprised right?” He asked me and then laughed out loud.At that moment, it was difficult to read him because it seemed like he was laughing out of amusement and I wondered what was amusing.“How can you say you are Maeve’s brother? You look younger than her and the time of the fight happened when she was just a child,” Damien spelled out, making Khal and I nod our heads in agreement.“All these years we have been living in hiding. You all thought you wiped the whole Crescent Moon pack but how does it feel now to realize we survived?” Billy asked us with a calm look on his face even though his brows were now raised.How they were still alive was still a mystery to me.“How did you get the Orb?” I asked him instead of answering his question.He looke
MAEVE’S POVWhen I lifted my head to see who I bumped into, standing in front of me was none other than Patricia with an unusually sweet smile on her face.I turned to look at Maggie and saw a scowl make its way to her face as she looked at Patricia whose smile never faltered.This was unusual of Patricia and while she was smiling, Maggie looked like she would beat the hell out of Patricia given the opportunity right now.I never imagined that when Charlotte told me she saw Patricia leaving the pack house, she would come here.Because for all I knew, Patricia rarely attended all these kinds of events.“Why do I have a feeling you intentionally stepped in my way?” I asked her with a straight smile.“Can you at least just pretend like we are on good terms with each other?” Patricia said with a sweet smile and looked around to see if passersby were watching us.“Since when did you start caring about what others think about us?” I asked her instead of doing as she said.“Of course, I do c
MAEVE’S POVWhen I stepped out of the room, Maggie cheered and asked me to spin around.“Wow, you look amazing!! Just how a Luna should look,” Maggie said and winked at me, making me blush.“You look beautiful too. You look like a princess,” I said as I admired her dress and perfect makeup.“What? No!! I’m supposed to look like a Luna since I'm after all going to be one soon,” She whined and faked a pout, making Alpha Kelvin wrap his hand around her waist, which made her smile.The smile on my face faltered when I heard she would soon become Luna.I knew that initially, our plan was for Alpha Kelvin to announce that his mate was Maggie.But thinking about it now, I felt sad knowing the mean words that would be said about her and it could cause a controversy.“Can you just hold off on announcing her ceremony?” I asked Alpha Kelvin, making them give me confused looks.“Don’t get me wrong, I mean no harm. It's just that, now that Alpha Zane has the Orb and is on his way to your pack as w
MAEVE’S POVSitting in front of us and pretending to be the seer when we first came in was Aradia.Immediately the Seer who was standing by the door saw Aradia, she ran out.It was then that the last memory I had forgotten on the night of my Luna ceremony came to my head and I vividly remembered seeing Aradia there.What was her gain in toying with our emotions?For a moment before, I used to think that she was banished unjustly and the stories we heard about her were all lies but now I know better.Her calm demeanor which she had before was totally gone and replaced with contempt, hate, disdain, and pure hatred.The aura which exuded from her was also purely evil and the hate in her eyes was unimaginable.I would be lying if I said seeing her true colors or should I say, seeing her true self wasn’t scary.It was scary as hell.“It was you. That night in the woods, you were there with Anna. You were the one she was working with,” I said almost in a whisper as I pointed at her and a sm
ZANE’S POVHearing all that Aradia said made me reminisce about when I would pass my dad and Mom’s bedroom and hear my mom crying while saying words I couldn't fathom to my dad.But whenever they were in the company of others, they would act as though nothing was happening.They also tried their best to bring Patricia and I up in the best and moral way possible.It was difficult turning a blind eye to the fact that all wasn’t well with my parent’s marriage back then. Something I had forgotten about until now.That was why I decided to treat my future mate better whenever the time came.And so far I was trying my best to do just that.But hearing what Aradia said my Dad did to her.I wasn’t sure if I should believe her because my dad whom I knew wasn’t that callous.I didn't know the main reason why my parents were having issues when I was a child.I wasn't sure if my dad used to beat my mom and that was why she was always crying whenever I passed their room.He was always calm and a m
MAEVE’S POVAll the while I was weeping back at the Seer's house, it was because I didn't know what else to do.It was as though no matter how Alpha Zane and I tried to fight for our love, we were doomed to still fail.But waking up now, it was as though something that had changed.All the trepidation I had felt before I passed out was almost gone and replaced by a new feeling I couldn't quite explain.And when Alpha Zane’s skin made contact with mine, when he wanted to ask me if I was okay, I felt repulsed by his touch.Was I feeling repulsed when he asked out of sheer concern?I shoved the feelings aside thinking that it was a normal side effect of waking up from an unconscious state.When he was apologizing to the others for troubling them, a sudden urge overcame me and before I could comprehend it, I had already pounced on Alpha Zane and tried to rip his heart out.But thanks to the others in the room who were quick to subdue me, I didn't get to do what I would regret.The scared
MAEVE’S POVIt had been weeks since Damien was executed and Patricia was nowhere to be found.I knew that Alpha Zane was hurt by Damien and Patricia’s betrayal.Khal became his Beta and Gamma because he refused to trust anyone with the position after what Damien and Pat did to him, he said it would be difficult for him to trust easily.He was also angry at me for not telling him about Damien's love advances towards me. It took us over a week to settle.I wasn’t entirely surprised that Pat betrayed us because even though she apologized to us, I didn’t quite trust her apology.Alpha Zane didn’t plan on executing Pat but he wanted to apologize. Afterward, he planned on punishing her by setting her as an example to others in the pack.I told him that would be too harsh but he told me he knew Patricia badly hated embarrassment, so that was the only way she would learn her lesson.But I hadn't seen her until now. We even ordered for all 13 packs to be searched but there was no trace of Pat
ZANE’S POV“Can we skip to the important part first, " Damien said after clearing his throat.He held a herb mortar and I could see a paste in it.Before now, I was so pissed off at the fact that Aradia was my biological Mom.Why did it have to be her? Why did Dad and his mate have to wrong Aradia that it turned her into a monster?I wasn't proud enough to accept the fact Aradia was my biological Mom.No mother of mine would do all the cruel things she did, but then again I stopped for a second to consider all she went through.What did it matter, after all, she would have been dead by now and she did specify where she would kill herself.Nevertheless, I made a mental note to search for her corpse and give her a funeral. She was my mother after all and I had to give her respect, just as Maeve gave her dad his respect too even though he offended her a great deal too.“Oh yeah. Thanks, Damien,” Lilain rushed to Damien and collected the herb mortar from him.Maeve looked nervous and so d
MAEVE’S POVThe wait for the Beckley family seemed like ages and when Damien called me that they were on their way to the pack house, I couldn't help but anticipate.We all sat impatiently waiting for them. Alpha Zane was nervous and I could tell by the way he was fidgeting with his fingers.I went to sit beside him and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.“We will go on a vacation once this is all over. No need to be nervous because we are just minutes away from lifting the curse. Whenever your nervousness sets in, think of all the fun we would have,” I said and kissed his palm.“Something you act like the man in this relationship,” He chuckled and rolled his eyes.“I would suggest we split ourselves into groups and be ready to set out to do whatever it is the Beckleys would tell us to do that would aid Alpha Zane and Maeve lift their curse,” Lilian said to the others and they nodded their heads.Just then Damien and Khal walked into the sitting room with an old man and an old woman w
MAEVE’S POVThe door opened and in came Patricia. She had a sorry look on her face as she looked at me.“I heard what happened and I'm here to offer my condolences,” Patricia said as she walked to my bedside and knelt in front of me.What was she up to now?Everyone in the room looked at her with utmost surprise because we all knew Patricia had a lot of pride which wouldn't allow her to kneel in front of me this way.“I'm sorry for the way I have treated you since you came to this pack. I'm sorry for putting that ring in your bag that almost cost you your life, I'm sorry for always disrespecting you. What happened to Maggie made me realize that life is too short and one may never know when he or she would die. So I have decided to reflect on my life and effect necessary changes,” Patricia said with a sincere look on her face.I studied her face for like two minutes to see if her countenance would falter and give her away that she was lying but it didn’t.Well, she was right in that th
MAEVE’S POV“Are you both just going to sit back and let that bitch go free after what she did?” Charlotte asked, breaking the silence in the car.Maggie and I didn't need anyone to tell us that Charlotte was referring to Patricia.“You're right and something about the timing when she chose to release that video doesn't bode well with me,” Maggie frowned.I never quite gave it a thought but now that I did, Maghie was right.It was exactly the period where my urge was to be quenched and we needed another Elder to be added to Lilian that Patricia posted the video.“I have an idea on how to get back at her,” Maggie smiled maliciously.“Yes your deviousness, bring it on,” Charlotte drawled from behind Maggie and I to burst into a fit of laughter.“It’s simple, we know that Damien and Patricia are fucking each other of late yeah?” Maggie asked.Charlotte and I nodded in agreement urging her to continue with what she was saying.“It’s very simple. We sneak into Damien’s room and steal his p
MAEVE’S POVBy the time I went to the room that Alpha Zane and I were supposed to sleep in, I saw him fast asleep.I looked at him sadly knowing that he must have been very exhausted.I went to take a quick shower and came back a few minutes after I was done.I changed into my nightie and turned to walk to the bed only to find Alpha Zane turning and tossing uncomfortably on the bed.It was as though he was having a bad dream or?I gasped when realization dawned on me that it may be Aradia because she had used this trick to talk to me before.I rushed to the bed and began waking him up but he wasn't responding. After several trials and he still didn't respond, I began to panic, so I rushed to Lilian’s room.“Zane isn't waking up but he is tossing and turning on the bed,” I exclaimed the moment I opened her door and she rushed down from the bed.We both ran to Alpha Zane and I’s room and still saw him losing and turning on the bed.Lilian immediately began to murmur a spell but nothing
ZANE’S POVI had been trying to keep myself calm during the ceremony but hearing Aloha William begging for his life pissed me off and made me snap at him.He didn't have any right to beg for his life when he didn't give Alpha Kelvin the plead for his life.I reminded Maggie of our aim and for the first time since I've been on earth, I was grateful that someone wasn't soft-hearted.Yeah, I was happy that Maggie wasn't soft-hearted at that moment because if she was the Maggie we all knew who was soft-hearted and kind, she would have agreed to give Alpha William a quick death.But this Maggie wasn't like that, she nodded in agreement to what I said and wanted to signal her men to take the digs in and seal the door but that was when Alpha William chose to say something that made us all confused and curious at the same time.He said he would confess. What I was confused about was what he still had to confess.I thought we already knew about his wrongdoing, so I turned to look at Billy and
MAEVE’S POVHearing Maggie talk about a cage and trained dog, I immediately got an idea of what she wanted.It was like we were thinking alike because that was exactly what I wanted to suggest if I was given the opportunity to.When I asked her if it was what I was thinking that she wanted to do and she nodded, I was overjoyed because we would also get justice for what he did to Alpha Kelvin.I was angry at Alpha Zane for not waking me up when I was asleep even when he knew I would have loved to go with him to see Alpha William.Either way, as long as Alpha Zane did what I knew he wanted to do there, then it was fine by me.The sun was already setting by the time we arrived here and I wondered why because I didn't expect it to take us this much time to get here.When I got here a few minutes ago, I saw Jesse, Jason, Lilian, Billy, and Rand already seated. Of course, they were all putting on black outfits.Lilian came to hug me the instant she saw me walk through the door. Sometimes I
ZANE’S POVHere we were in Alpha Kelvin’s pack about to begin his funeral.Before that day at Crescent Moon pack, if anyone would tell me that Alpha Kelvin would die trying to save me, I would have tagged the person as the biggest liar of the millennium.I was devastated to find his body dropping to the floor with a hole in his chest and that was the time the spell Lilian used to make me agile wore off.I was quiet all through Maggie’s outburst of tears back at my room in Crescent Moon pack because I couldn’t bring myself to face her.I felt like it was my fault that he died, had he not stepped in to shield me from Alpha William, he would have still been here with us and I would have been the one to die.I sighed for the umpteenth time since we arrived at his pack as Damien accompanied me to pay Alpha William a visit in his cell.I was depressed but I tried not to show it in front of Maeve because I didn’t want to make her worry. At this point I just wanted to die so everyone would ge
