View MoreMaeve’s POV
Maybe I was just overthinking and maybe he really did have something waiting for me, some sort of surprise. Something, anything
Who was I kidding? He had forgotten and it tore deep at my heart
I can't believe that he forgot my birthday and our anniversary…
How could he forget?
Three years have already passed since I walked down the aisle and exchanged vows with my mate Alphonso, the Alpha of the crystal moon pack.
It's been three fucking years! I remember that day vividly, I was nineteen, blond hair tied back to compliment that white armless lacey dress but now at twenty- two? I couldn't say anything about it.
It used to be my favourite memory of us, it still was. I could hear my wolf groan and I didn't blame her. It was pathetic to see me cling to that after everything he had put me through.
I heard his footsteps and smelt his scent across the room.
I had leaped out of my room to go and greet him at the door of his own since we both slept in separate rooms despite being married and mates.
"Good morning, Alphonso, did you sleep well?" I greeted him.
He responded grudgingly and then said that he was going to stay out a little late and then slammed the door in my face
That wasn't a bad sign, right? But my legs remain glued to the floor watching him slam the door, with only one thought ringing in my mind like a ell; had he really forgotten?
Of course not, he couldn't have.
So, tonight I was ready for him, wearing some sexy lingerie which I had gotten as a wedding gift but I was always too embarrassed to put it on.
Maybe if he saw me in it, he would want me as much as I wanted him.
And besides that, tomorrow was our packs annual gala and I had to come with him as his Luna, it breaks my heart that the only time he ever wanted to come out with me was when it was compulsory.
Three months after we got married, he had become so cold to me as if we were nothing more than strangers that had been forced into an arranged marriage.
Three years had passed and it seemed like things were getting worse everyday.
But I love him so much and I wanted our relationship to work.
I went to my room and changed into the lingerie and laid on my bed, hoping he would come to my room. Now my skin shivered and shifted on my bed, the cool night breeze caressed me, my cheeks were as red as roses as this pinkish, smooth transparent fabric slid on skin, over my lingerie.
My eyes crossed over to the wall clock and anxiety gripped to my neck like fingers of steel making it hard for me to even breathe if he spent any longer, I was going to put on my robe and just sleep.
For a brief foolish moment, I interchange the thoughts that maybe he was actually getting me a wonderful present for our anniversary and my birthday.
Suddenly I heard his voice echoing along the hallway and it played with the beat of my heart, I could swear it was going to fall from my chest.
I ran like I was being chased until I got to the door and flung it open.
What I saw immediately made my tongue dry for words, and I just gaped there for a couple of seconds like a fish that was out of water.
I was broken out of my state of shock by my sister's screeching laugh which was just as pleasant as hearing nails run across a chalkboard.
"Oh, Maeve, I didn't know that you were here," she said casually with her hand on my husband's shoulder holding him as if she was the one that had exchanged vows with him and not me.
But then I noticed that he was glaring at me and the anger in his face seemed to be conflicted with annoyance or disgust, that was when I realized that I had been so excited that I hadn't even bothered to cover myself up before rushing out.
I wrapped my arms around my body but it barely hid anything, especially my shame.
He looked like he was about to throw up and I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself in it.
"What are you wearing?"
I bit my bottom lip thinking that nothing could make this moment even more embarrassing but then my sister, Avery walked over and tried pulling my hands away.
"Al…" She called him by the nickname that she had coined for him.
"She obviously wore something like this for you! Come on, Sis, show him the goods!"
I was so angry with the way she was acting that I pushed her away and almost immediately my mates had reached forward to grab her by her waist and he glared at me again.
He couldn't even bother to veil his disgust at all.
"I hope you don't end up embarrassing me by wearing something like this tomorrow…"
My eyes were glued to the floor because I couldn't even dare look at him now without bursting into tears and then he walked past me with my sister.
I gathered up some courage and asked them what they were going to do.
Avery laughed and then she turned to my husband with a wide smile that spread across her ears.
"Well, aren't you going to tell her what we are going to do?"
He grunted and without even looking back, he said, "We are going to be looking at the details for the security for tomorrow's annual celebration, make sure that you don't disturb us,"
And then they just kept heading towards his study from the looks of their direction, I quickly crawled back into my room before somebody else would come down the hallway and see me in basically nothing but my underwear.
The moment I closed the door behind me I melted on the floor with tears and sobs that shook my entire body.
After a while I was finally able to pick myself up and I went to my wardrobe changing into my normal baggy pajamas that looked like a sack over my body.
It didn't make any sense at all.
Why was he even discussing anything like that with my sister?
What did she know about security that made it necessary for them to go to his study privately when most of the preparations had already been concluded?
Dreaded thoughts pass through my mind but I immediately buried it in the back of my mind.
There was no way that he would do that to me, right?
He said that they were going to talk, so, they were just talking!
Would I be too surprised if they were doing something more? My sister never really cared about my feelings. She would do anything she could to take whatever I had, it was a normal thing to her. It had been for as long as I could remember, it felt as if we were in some sort of competition
To say that I hated her with every fiber of my being was a huge understatement.
Now I just wish that she would stay away from my husband.
It would have been better for us until an unfamiliar feeling engulfed me and threatened to knock me off my feet.
Maeve's POVI don't know how long I have been here. All I know is that I was feeling body aches from the tortures that Avery and Jared had inflicted on my body. I can never believe that she was still going back to her old ways. I thought she had changed for good, never would I have believed her that she was still the same person.She deceived me. Every single night I will sit in the cell crying and hoping for the day that Laurent will come and rescue me so that I will go home. I was almost falling sick, at first I did not know what she wanted. Now I realized that she wanted to kill me just like Jared had killed Zara Maria. He confessed everything to me, he was building an army so that he could take over the Alpha's throne. “Hello, dear sister”“Don't you dare call me your sister, you are not my sister we are nothing to each other, so you can never be my sister because they my step sisters has a good heart, you have no heart at all”“Shut up! You two bring her out and chain her to the
Maeve's POVWhen the bell rang that morning, everyone in the house was already downstairs and in the kitchen Lucia stood by the door crying. It was six in the morning when the maid servant's body was found in the kitchen. I could not bring myself to speak. I couldn't fathom it, I had seen her yesterday and she even served me dinner. We talked briefly since I wasn't really close to her. I was close to Grace, Riley and Lucia. Grace and I might have settled our differences in the past after she came out from the dungeon.What surprised me was how the maid servant had died, the doctor had ruled her death as homicide. Someone had poisoned her drink. I was not hungry last morning. Since I found out I had been pregnant I had lost my appetite and most times I don't even care for anything to eat for breakfast. Other times I just want to drink water. The other day I had asked Lucia to get candy from the store across the street. That was my breakfast, I had weird cravings. Something like this
Kate’s POVWhen the doorbell rang, I looked around but Amelia wasn't coming out, standing up from the couch I walked towards the door. I have been awake for a long while. After what Jared had tried to do to me but then I haven't really been outside, it has been Luke who has been getting almost everything for me. I moved in with him and Amelia moved into the other apartment she was ready to go back to school finish up and find a good man. I was happy for her I supported her dreams I'm glad that she was not going back to my father, everything I want to tell the Alpha,, I have told Silas since he ended up being my father and I trusted him that it was going to reach the Alpha's ear and they will have to get rid of Jared once and for all.The only person I pity in all of this is Luke. I was angry that he was Jared's Son at first, but it wasn't his fault, besides he never judged me when I was Jared’s daughter. He took me like his mate and always showered me with love and kisses all the t
Avery's POVLeaning against the door, I listened In. Jared was right there was not much time we needed to find a way to end everything. My sister would have to die tomorrow during breakfast otherwise she is going to give birth to that bastard in her womb. I can't believe that she was already pregnant. Maeve and the Alpha share a close bond. How wouldn't they When Silas was always around being nosy and giving advice when needed. I see the way Laurent looks at her it is different, his eyes filled with love. It made me sick to the stomach. I wanted him to look at me like that. When we manage to get her out of the way I think Silas should die. I don't think Jared should let him live just as he planned otherwise that man is going to be a big problem for us, whatever he is planning must be something huge as well, moving away from the door I took out my phone and gave Jared a call as I walked into my room shutting the door.“It better be good that you are calling me distracting me from my p
Laurent's POVI was in the study trying to sort us some things when a knock came on the door. I looked up, a smile lingering on my lips. I knew that would be Maeve. She must have come to serve me my favorite coffee. I always take it before going to bed. Sometimes it helped me focus on what I was doing. There was a lot to do in the pack. A lot Silas and I were trying to figure it out together.However, the smile on my face quickly faded away as my eyes fell on Avery walking into the room. I wasn't exactly sure what she was doing here. She has been here for more than two weeks now and although I was still uncomfortable with her presence. I don't expect her to be the one serving coffee. If there was something wrong with Maeve then Lucia, Grace, or any of the other maid's servants should do it and not her.“What are you doing here?” I looked up at her and she smiled. Maeve was not feeling fine and I decided to come over here. She needed me to come to serve your favorite coffee I was abo
Riley's POVAnger seeped through me as I looked at the man who had dragged me out of the car like some slut. I don't know what his problem was. I haven't seen him all day for a while now ever since the last time I went to meet up with Jared. I have tried to get in contact with him so that we can talk but then that has not been possible. He seemed to have gone MIA and I had no way to reach him even if I knew where he could be I would never want to go to Richard. I don't want to hear stories and neither would I want anything to happen between us. I never want to end up feeling as if I had betrayed Zander. I was being way too careful.“What the hell do you think you are doing?” I was mad at him not because of what Jared had said to me that night but because of the way he was dragging me out of the car. Sometimes, I wonder if he was losing a knot or perhaps he would want to have his head checked during the next pack doctor's visit.“ We need to talk”“I'm kind of in a hurry now, so why do
Riley's POVThe foolish b**** thought that I was in this game together with her but she was mistaken. The only reason why I was trying to make her feel as if we could be a team and then end her sister was so she could end up blowing up her cover. I will have to tell Maeve that her sister has not repented and in fact, only came here because she had an ulterior motive probably to take away what was hers.“I don't know what you're talking about. I love my sister so much and I would not want to do anything” Avery's tears become teary This was exactly what I was talking about, girls like her would never change at all. They would always want to play the victim and even try to deceive other people. However, I have lived long enough never to be deceived by girls like her. I don't know how manipulative they can be and I know they want something.I wonder how Maeve didn't realize that her sister was a devil in disguise and if she was here right now it only meant that she was going to ruin her.
Riley's POVWhen I had the doorbell. I looked up the stairs smiling, Angel was going to come down in a bit which meant she was going to see her Prince Charming Zander, and we'd get to have a little picnic together. She had been waiting for it for so long. Angel and I have drawn closer, I feel like I have known her all through my life but that was not possible. We only just met the other week when I got back home. They both have been spending time together at first I thought Maeve would not like it but she has no problem with it and even loves that Angel was trying to mingle with a lot of people in the pack. She was used to being the maidservant and was always in the kitchen helping Lucia and even making Grace smile or she was with me or in the garden trying to pluck some vegetables.Opening the door, I was surprised to see an unfamiliar woman standing there with a suitcase. For a moment I wondered if she had lost her way and was at the wrong house.This was Alpha Laurent's house and h
Luke's POVI was happy that Zander let me go and I loved this little chat that we had, it's made us draw closer to each other, when I was heading out I saw Jason at the door. He was getting a copy of the daily paper. There was nothing fun that was going to be written in there, at least it wasn't going to reveal all of Jared's corrupt ways so there was no point in standing there and reading it. I need to get justice for Kate, ever since he hurt Kate, I have not come in contact with Jared.I have tried so much to stay away from him but he has been ringing up my phone, texting me but I was not in the mood to talk to him. All I did was erase his message without even going through it. He was a fool to think that he would hurt Kate and then expect me to come to him and play with him, that was never going to happen.I thought about this carefully before making a move. I know what this might be for me. I might end up in Jared's hand and I will never have to come out again, but then I was goin
