MAEVE’S POVWhy would Damien do such a thing to Alpha Zane? Or was it because?Was he angry that Alpha Zane had me and he didn’t?I was confused as I looked at Damien who now had a sinister look on his face.He looked nothing like the Damien we all knew.“You’re joking, right? Because this is no time for jokes Damien,” I said to him but instead, he scoffed.I was taken aback when he did that because I didn't expect him to.Alpha Zane and everyone present there were also astonished when he did that too.“Do I look like I’m joking? Do you know how difficult it has been staying under Zane’s shadow?” He asked me rhetorically.All I saw in his eyes was hatred as he turned to look at Alpha Zane who hadn’t yet said anything.“It’s high time I step out of his shadow and walk into the limelight. I’m sorry Maeve but I can’t miss this golden opportunity,” He said.“Haven’t I been good to you? We are friends remember? So why have you betrayed me this way?” Alpha Zane asked him and I could see the
MAEVE’S POV“We need to do something. Anything!! Please. We shouldn’t just stay and watch Alpha Zane walking to his death,” I panicked and Charlotte held my hands.“I'm afraid that at this point there is nothing else we can do. Well, except the moon goddess performs a miracle,” Alpha Kelvin shrugged with a sad look on his face.But I wasn’t gonna allow it to happen. I wasn’t going to sit back and not do anything.I wanted to go stand a safe distance away from Alpha Zane before I said what I was about today but Charlotte and Maggie held me back.And it wasn’t helping that the Arena had stadium seating. If not, I would have yanked their hands away from me and run straight to where the Alpha sat.But that would have met me jumping seats which eventually would have led to breaking a bone or two.“Let me fight in place of my mate,” I yelled loud enough for everyone to hear and watched Damien let outburst of wicked laughter.While the rest looked at me as though I was slowly going insane.“
MAEVE’S POVThe last thing I remembered was the mortuary attendant, injecting me with an unknown fluid which knocked me out immediately.And when I opened my eyes again, I saw someone who looked like me. But this person was like a male version of myself.Although the resemblance wasn't 100%, it was at least 89% and that was a big deal.Was my mind playing tricks with or was this how Hades wanted to punish me?The guy who looked like me walked to me and began waving his palm above my eyes to confirm if I was really awake.But I still laid stiff on the bed and just my eyes were opened.It was when I began to feel the urge to kill that I realized that maybe I was alive.But I pushed the thoughts aside because there was no way I could feel that urge anymore.Not when the person who made me feel the urge in the first place was now dead.“Except…” I mumbled and my brows creased before I jolted up into a sitting position on the bed I was lying on.Sitting in the wheelchair in front of me wa
ZANE’S POVSeeing that Maeve was finally awake made me relieved.When she was taking longer to wake up even after I had woken up, I began to panic.I thought that the mortuary attendants might have given her an overdose of the injection.But seeing her awake now eased my heart.I knew that she'd be mad at me when she found out the truth but thanks to her urge, she didn’t think about what I said till I left the room.So far, Billy has been nice to us.He stayed with me all through the night when Maeve and I were brought in.I didn’t have anywhere else to go seeing that all the Alphas had turned against me.And I couldn’t go to Alpha Kelvin or Alpha Asher’s pack because I didn’t want to stir up trouble for them.Then I thought about where we could possibly go and plan our next move.It was then that Crescent Moon pack came to my mind.I knew that Billy would never reject us because Maeve was his sister and I was her mate.That is why when Damien came to tell me that Alphas called for a m
MAEVE’S POVI was giddy with excitement to the extent that I video-called Alpha Zane immediately.I wanted to relay this good news to him immediately.This was the best news that we had gotten in a long while.It seemed like the moon goddess was on our side because my pregnancy meant that Alpha Zane could challenge Damien. And if he won, the other Alphas wouldn’t give the excuse of him not having an heir anymore.“What?!! Why are you looking that way? You’re supposed to be happy. You are going to be an uncle soon,” I whined delightfully as I tugged at Billy who gave a strained smile.“I think I'm going to be bad at being an uncle,” He answered and I just huffed and turned to look at my phone again.The doctor who broke the news of my pregnancy to me just stood by my side smiling at the way I reacted to the news.When Alpha Zane picked up the call and I told him of my pregnancy, he didn’t react like I thought that he would.Maybe it was because he thought I was joking and that got me
MAEVE’S POVWhen I asked Lilian how we would go about it, I expected her to stutter but she didn't and I was glad.This meant that she was confident about what she was saying and she was very sure of what she was talking about.I just hope that this time around all will go fine as she has said.“Like I said, I would need another Elder so that we can both combine our powers. We would also need black obsidian,” Lilian said.“Obsidian? What for?” I asked her and she chuckled.“Black obsidian helps in healing and protection. It keeps negative energy away,” Lilian explained, making my mouth form an O shape.“Okay, so how does it help suppress the urge??” I asked her and saw Billy roll his eyes.I knew that I was being too inquisitive but who would blame me? I wanted to be sure if I should really get my hopes up or not.“It will help repel the negative energy produced when the urge comes in. Therefore you won’t feel the urge. I’ll use the obsidian we find to make two bracelets. One for you
MAEVE’S POVBilly was silent for a while after I asked him how they survived.We just kept walking without having a clue of where he was taking me.“Magic of illusion and the sacrifice Lilian’s mom made for our pack. That is how we survived,” Billy finally answered me with a downcast look on his face.This was indeed a very sour topic for him. I didn’t want to ask him any other questions.I wanted the conversation about their survival to end.But there were still many things I was curious about and that curiosity got the best of me.“What sacrifice did Lilian’s mom make?” I asked him.“She single-handedly and continuously did the spell which made all the 11 packs think that we were right in front of them when in reality we had moved here to hide. She continued doing the spell for hours making the other packs think they were fighting us and due to the hours it lasted the magic slowly drained the life out of her,” Billy explained.It was a sad story indeed. The way he spoke made it look
MAEVE’S POV“What could that possibly be?” I asked Billy with creased brows.He sighed and the look on his face made me know that whatever he was going to tell me wasn’t going to be pleasant to my hearing at all.“It’s about his mother,” Billy said and looked at me as though he wanted to be sure that I wanted him to say more.Looking back to all these while Alpha Zane and I have been together. He never talked much about his family. Especially his mother.But who would blame him? It wasn’t like we had shared our childhood memories. We didn’t have the time to.The little moment we spent together, we wanted to cherish it. Also, since I met Alpha Zane, we had never had a whole day go by without having it in mind to solve one problem or the other.The more we solved, the more shocking problems arose.I didn’t know if it was okay for me to give Billy the go-ahead to tell me whatever it was that he wanted to say.Even though I felt that the appropriate thing to do was for Billy to tell Alph
