MAEVE’S POV“I was pregnant and lost the child, Maeve,” She said and burst into a fit of tears.I froze after hearing what Charlotte said. I had lost a pregnancy not too long ago, so I knew how it felt.Although I wasn't able to mourn my loss due to the problems that were on ground, I still planned on doing so.Losing a pregnancy wasn't easy at all and I knew exactly how she was feeling.“I'm so sorry, Love. When did you find out?” I asked her.“This morning after I went to work, I saw the blood and thought that maybe it was the time of the month, so I wanted to go get some sanitary pad but passed out on my way,” She said amidst sobs and paused.“I woke up and found myself in the hospital, only for the doctor to tell me that I was pregnant, but lost the child due to stress,” She sobbed.I wish I could go back to Shadow Moon Pack and console her because she was there for me when I lost my pregnancy too.I was so sad to hear of her loss, and I wondered how Khal would take the news.When
MAEVE’S POVThe sound of my alarm blaming made me lazily open my eyes only to find Billy standing right in front of me with his eyes widened.It looked really scary.I jerked up from bed, startled when I saw him and he laughed. He laughed up to the extent that he began to hold his tummy.My lips formed a thin line because he almost scared the life out of me and here he was laughing heartily as though it was funny.“It's not funny, Billy,” I glared at him and removed the duvet covering me before I got down from bed.“I'm sorry. I always imagined doing this and doing it now, it's more hilarious than I thought it would be,” Billy answered amidst laughter making me scoff and roll my eyes.“Why are you in the room this early? It's just 7 am,” I questioned, making him stop laughing.“You’re no fun at all,” He said and rolled his eyes.“I'm in your room because Zane woke me up as early as 6 fucking AM,” He added.“Why?” I asked him with confusion evident on my face.“He wanted me to personal
ZANE’S POVI watched as Maeve and Billy got into the back of the van. I wanted to feel Maeve in my arms again, I so much wanted to hug her but i knew i couldn’t.But what consoled me was the fact they were going to get the remedy to our solution and soon enough, I would have Maeve all to myself.No more feeling insecure, and no more feeling like I am begging for her attention.Asides that there was something I wasn't telling them yet.I didn’t want to say anything yet because that was a secondary issue. I wanted us to deal with the primary issue first.Alpha Kelvin’s call mademe realise that Alpha William was an old asshole. He didn’t deserve to live after all Alpha Kelvin told me that he found out about Alpha William.Don’t get me wrong i knew that Alpha William wasn’t a good person but i least expected him to do what Alpha Kelvin told me he has been doing for years now.I watched as the Van zoomed off from crescent moon’s underground pack and inmy heart, i prayed for the moon goddes
ZANE’S POVAfter Lilian peeped out my door to check if someone was spying on us, she came in and murmured a spell after which she waved her hand in the air.I didn’t expect that and I didn’t know what it meant neither did I know why she did that.“What was that for?” I asked her and she found her way to my sofa to sit down.“You can never be too sure who might pass and catch a wind of what we are about to discuss and mind you the rooms here aren’t soundproof,” She explained with a serious look on her face.I nodded my head in understanding and clasped my hands together bracing myself for what I was about to hear.“I know you want to hear the full story but from the look on your face, you aren’t doubting what I said. Could there be a reason why?” She asked me and I reluctantly nodded my head.Afterward, I went ahead to explain to her what happened that night that Maeve's pupil dilated to full white color and she told me something that she didn't remember the next day.After listening t
MAEVE’S POVWhen we left the Crescent Moon’s underground pack, I exhaled and closed my eyes to pray to the Moon Goddess for the success of our journey.“Everything is going to be fine!!” Billy drawled, making me open my eyes and turn to look at him.“I don’t know why you all still believe in this moon goddess thingy and believe in her. Okay, where is she now that you’re going through hardship? Huh? Where was she when our pack was falsely accused and now we are forced to live underground huh?” He asked me and scoffed while rolling his eyes.“She exists. It’s just that she isn’t allowed to Interfere with our dealings,” I explained and that made him scoff more.“What kind of goddess can’t change the fate of her creation? It’s high time that we werewolves snap out of the archaic belief that there is a goddess,” Billy said and focused his attention back on his phone.I understood why he was bitter about the idea of me praying to the moon goddess. Crescent Moon pack has been through a lot.
MAEVE’S POVNo matter how much I tried to calm down while we were on our way back to Crescent Moon pack, I couldn't.The fact that Damien and Khal knew of Billy’s plans and I was left out pissed me off.Everything was frustrating. First Maggie accusing me of leaking her secret and now Billy?I groaned, making Billy turn and look at me.“Are you okay?” He asked me and when I looked at him, I could see that he was concerned.But still, I couldn’t help but ignore him.Why was it that he couldn't share his plans with me? I thought we were siblings.He couldn't tell me of his plans but he could tell others? I scoffed at the thought and watched as his brows creased.“I'm talking to you. You should be polite enough to at least answer me, especially after seeing that there are other men in here with us,” Billy whispered into my ears.“Oh, brother, I'm fine!!” I drawled and flashed a fake smile on my face, which I was very sure the hefty men with us would know was a fake smile.Billy sighed bu
ZANE’S POVSeeing Maeve smiling right now gladdened me. When I saw the video that was uploaded online, I knew that Maeve would be agitated.That was why I called Maggie. I called her to hear what she would say to me and to know her reaction.When Maggie picked up the call, she explained everything that happened to me on the day she told Maeve about what was said in the video.She said it was only Maeve that she had told about it. But based on the way she explained what happened on that day, I was more than convinced that it was Patricia.I sighed wishing that I could call Patricia and scold her for what she did but I knew better.Rather, I had Damien threaten her and the next thing we saw that evening was that the post was taken down and the person apologized.That confirmed to me that it was Patricia.What could I possibly do to change her? I began to think because, at the rate which Patricia was going, I wouldn’t be surprised if I was told that she committed murder.I began to thi
ZANE’S POVWhen Lilian and Maggie started the spell, the white petals that we brought for the spell which I wondered its use, suddenly rose out of the bag and began levitating in the air.In unison, Maggie and Lilian used their hands to direct the petals and they dropped in the pond.Never for a second did they stop chanting their spell, and the instant the petals touched the sparkling water in the pond, the water began to glow brightly.Their voices began to increase and I hoped that it was a sign that the spell was working.But then we began to see blood dripping from Maggie’s nose.“What's going on? Why is the blood only coming out of Maggie’s nose alone?” Alpha Kelvin asked in apprehension and rushed to go hold Maggie but an invincible force pushed him away from her.Lilian gasped and opened her eyes. She then stopped changing the spell and looked at Maggie with agitation.“What are you doing? Stop it, Mag,” Lilian yelled in apprehension.“They’ll need you more because you are mor
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
