Maeve POV

It’s been two weeks since the pack came, and we are finally settled. It has been a very busy week, and I hardly see Ario. He comes back when I am asleep and goes before I wake up. He has been busy settling everyone in and buying furniture and other things everyone would need. My pack has been isolated from his; the only people I have seen who are from his pack are Maya and some warriors.

I wonder why he doesn’t want his pack to come here. I don’t even know if they know they are here, but obviously they have to know. The door opened, and a stressed-looking Ario came inside, removing his jacket, and then he slumped on the bed with his stomach on the bed. I smiled, dropping the book. I went to him, sitting on his lower back. He groaned, his back cracking.

“It’s been a long week, huh?” I said, giving him a neck massage. He breathed out without saying anything.

“So, I have been searching for pup names, and I came up with a few,” I said. He hummed.

“For girl, I came up with Janice,

    Maeve POVI removed the dagger, stabbing him again, and it filled the whole place with blood.“What is going on here?” Ario asked, coming close, but before he got close, the imposter slapped me hard, pushing me off the bed, and I was going to land directly on my stomach, but thank goodness for Ario’s fast reflexes; he held me just right in time.“Are you okay?” he asked, looking at my face before holding my stomach.“I’m fine,” I said, turning back, and to our shock, the imposter was gone. The only evidence he was ever here was the blood-stained white bedspread. I stood up from the floor, holding my stomach as I sat on the bed. I can’t believe this just happened.“What happened, Eve?” Ario asked, standing in front of me. I breathe out.“I was reading a book Maya gave me about pups and names, and then I must have slept off. Then I dreamt you came; you told me you were merging the pack and wanted me to be your luna. I agreed, and you marked me. Then you changed to a completely different

    Maeve POVI stand at the back of the pack. It was an icy night as my pack members all stood behind me. Everyone was holding a candle except me and Ario. The whole place was dark, with the candlelight illuminating it. A soft song played, and I walked down the aisle as the pack members turned to us. They sang a soft, beautiful rhythm.The moment was peaceful, and I felt happy as I looked at Ario. He smiled at me proudly; he couldn’t see my face, but I hoped he could feel my emotion. My love, joy, and respect. I hope he can feel them. I smiled, getting to him, and it was quiet. It was a full moon, and it gave the whole place an extra glow. Ario took my hand, climbing up the little stairs.“Kneel,” he said. I nod my head, kneeling. Then the ceremony started. Ario said a lot of things, his voice echoing, and I paid attention. When he was talking, he brought a big golden bowl with a knife. He gave me a very sharp knife, and I cut into my palm, bleeding out inside the bowl. I watched as he we

    Maeve POVI breathed out heavily, covered in sweat, as I watched my pup cry out loudly. It was the middle of the night, and the past few weeks have been peaceful. A week after I became Luna, they put me on bed rest as my stomach got bigger and I was physically weak to do anything, so it had to stay on bed rest. Earlier in the morning, my water broke when I went to pee, but I had no idea. I thought I had too much to drink because I had been drinking a lot of liquid.We were sleeping, and I suddenly felt that pain, and it has all happened so fast. Ario gave a room to Brandon temporarily in our quarters, so he helped me to the pack hospital. Ario and Pa were panicking while I was trying not to lash out at them. But finally, I smiled happily with tears in my eyes as Brandon carried my pup in his arms. I couldn’t see his face, but he had a head full of black hair.“What is the gender?” I asked. Brandon smiled.“Boy,” he said.“Yes!” I heard Ario yelling from the back of the door. Yes, I cha

    Maeve POVI walk down the packed ground with Otto wrapped tight around my back. It has been three weeks, and things have been peaceful, too peaceful, and it makes my skin crawl. Otto is growing well into a quiet and observant pup. He doesn’t cry unless he is hungry or wants a diaper change. He would look at you and never stop looking, waiting for you to look away first. I never see him laugh, but he smiles when Brandon does something funny. He is looking a lot like a younger version of Ario, no features of mine on his face or body, which is weird, but the genes must be crazy.Ario has been the best father he can be; he always bathes him, dresses him up, and sometimes he dresses him up in matching clothes. He is happy, and he is not worried about anything like I have been. Otto has been his missing piece, and he is not only a good father but a mate. I guess I still feared deep down he was doing it for the pup, but he has been more affectionate than before; sometimes he would watch me sl

    Maeve POV“There are no rules, and it is a duel to death,” I said, and there was murmuring. Brandon stood, looking at Mason, and he looked lost. He stood, wearing his blue sweatshirt and white tank top. He looked lanky, especially how his hair covered one of his eyes.“You have a whistle?” I asked. Ario nodded his head, looking worried but not saying anything. He brought it out, blowing the whistle. Mason didn’t wait; he swung his fist at Brandon. Brandon fell flat on the floor, looking at the sky. Everyone chuckled.“Stand up, you weak gay,” he taunted, walking around him. Brandon sighed, sitting up. He cleaned his lips, looking at the blood, and he almost looked betrayed as he looked at Mason. But he sighed, packing his hair in a tight bun, then he removed his tank top, revealing his muscled body and manly tattoos, which he doesn’t really show.Brandon is gay but doesn’t act girly all the time. People insult him sometimes because they think he acts girlish, but Brandon can blend into

    Maeve POV“Really?” he asked. I nod my head.“I cried in this pond,” I said, chuckling.“But he looks so in love with you,” he said, looking surprised at me. I looked at him.“On the night of my birthday, Mary took me to a club to clear my head. She mixed some drinks, and I got drunk. I met him at the club, and it was all history until the next day. I thought he would accept me and do what mates do; he plainly rejected me without saying the words and left,” I said. He gasped.“That stupid bitch Mary!” he yelled. Well, no one likes the beta family. I only tolerated Mary.“I got to the pack, and it was in ruins. I watched my mother die, and she told me to run. I did as she said, panicked, confused and I watched the pack blow up so I had no one to run to but somehow I met myself in this pack. Ario took me in because he knew father but still didn’t accept me, then we found out I was pregnant. He accepted the pup immediately, and we were supposed to co-parent while I became the gamma of the

    Maeve POV “Put in some work!” I yelled at the warriors. They growled, coming at their partners with their swords. “Think of it as your enemy!” I yelled, watching the bloody men. They were wearing black shorts with swords. I split the warriors long ago; these are the warriors, my armies, and the ones I bounced out are the guards. Their training is not as exceptional as this; only powerful minds can pass this training, and we just recruit new people. “Out!” Brandon yelled at the guy. The nurses came, dragging him away. I walked towards Ario; he was standing, crossing his arms. It’s been years, and he has not changed a bit. He is looking more muscular now, and he grew his hair out. “This set is more gruesome,” I said, collecting the bottled water. “True, we are increasing daily,” he said. I sighed, running my hand down my hair. “I don’t think we should recruit more; we have not been at war with anyone,” I said. “That’s because they are scared,” he said. I sighed. “It’s been 5 year

    Maeve POVWe all sat in silence, looking at the young woman in front of us. It’s been three days, and as promised, Duncan got a witch. We have all been sitting down for the past 5 minutes, and she has not said one word. I looked at Duncan, and he shrugged his shoulders.“They said she was the best in town,” he said. I faced the witch, patiently waiting for her to talk. As she requested, we are in an empty room; we are all seated on the floor with our legs folded. The door opened, and a black-haired little boy peeped inside. I smiled at Otto.“Mom,” he said, rubbing his eyes. He was sleeping, wondering how he found me.“Come in,” I said, smiling at him. He closed the door, yawning, then walked towards me and sat on my folded laps.“How was your nap?” I asked, brushing his messed-up hair. He rested his head on my chest, looking up at me.“Annoying. Leah kept on snoring,” he said. I chuckled, looking at Duncan. Well, she is supposed to watch over the pups, but I guess the pregnancy is wea

Pa found a fae woman, and they fell in love. It was hard for Duncan and Brandon to see their father move on, but after a little speech, they accepted. The Fae woman Angela was pregnant two years after they got married; they also didn’t take it well, but I convinced them this was their new life; they are immortals now, and of course Pa is not going to get married for years without having a kid. Long story short, Pa has five beautiful children with Angela, and Duncan and Brandon are the sweetest elder brothers to them.Duncan and Leah are still together, and they are still having more children. Ten years after Brandon got over Mason, he found love again, and this time it was a woman.

    Maeve POV“Damn!” Arthur yelled, totally invested in the game. The game has passed an hour, and none of them is half way yet.“Otto, what did you do?” Arthur asked, not removing his eyes from the game.“Made it harder,” he said, sitting down calmly.“Your son is going to be a wicked king,” Arthur said, and I chuckled. The game is getting harder and more complicated. The clues are hard to find, and if they find them to crack, it is difficult. Plus, the demons that jumped at them out of nowhere almost killed Bryan. Otto made the demons attacking very strong, then the humans attacking used their powers against them, and they have none. The game is extremely hard. Kennet went back to the starting line without his flag; blood was all over him.“Out!” Arthur yelled. Kenneth growled. Well, he lost his flag, so he is out of the game. He walked over to us, shaking his head while breathing out.“Isn’t this too much?” He asked, taking his seat. A guard handed him a bottle of water.“No, it’s per

    Maeve POV“Do you think we are babies?” Bryant asked, glaring at us. It was the next day, and we were with the pillars. We told them about the plan, and I don’t know if they are talking about it well.“You have no choice; who is going to be the leader?” Ario asked. They all looked at each other.“We know you all are not on good terms, fighting each other over the position,” I said.“Still, you have no right to tell us what to do,” Kate said, glaring at me. I know she is not a big fan of my mother and me. She especially doesn’t like her; I remember her telling me Kate never really spoke to her and frowned at everything she did. She was supposed to be the leader, but mother was more powerful than her.“I have every right to tell you, Kate. My mother was the leader; I am her daughter, more powerful than you can ever be,” I snapped at her. She rolled her eyes.“Of course you are powerful; after your mother gave you the title, you didn’t deserve them,” she spat. I smiled at her.“You know

    Maeve POVThe thunder and lightning crashed as the rain fell heavily. It was like the rain could tell my mood and how sad and devastated I was. When the demon king told me I had to kill my father, I knew it was a debate. There was no way I would kill him; there was no way I would look at the man who loved me so much and stab him. The look of betrayal would have killed me, torn me to tiny shreds; it would hunt me day and night. The plan was to get everyone to safety. I wanted everyone to be happy. I didn’t want any deaths on my plate, except for Jane, because I was ready to kill her at any moment. But as I stared at their opened coffins, laying side by side, it was very heartbreaking for me. Father has always wanted her by his side, so it’s only fair I bury them together, even though she isn’t worth it.“It’s time to close up the grave,” Ario said, his arms around my shoulders.“Wait,” I said, looking at my father’s face one last time. Of course, the rain is not touching them. They

And I could tell they were all catching up now. “What did you tell me the day you got married to chaos?” he asked.“First, I didn’t get married to him. It was me getting married, but it wasn’t me; it was a woman he was in love with. We both did it for our father, but we didn’t actually get married. That night I told you I simply loved you,” I said, smiling cheekily. He looked at me, shocked.“I thought you told me something very important,” he said.“It was important,” I said, offended.“So why couldn’t I remember?” I asked.“Because I wanted you to be curious. You sought answers and led me to Selene,” I said.“What?” he asked.“I knew Selene was alive; that was not her I killed. It was way too easy the way she died, but I didn’t know how to track her. But I knew she was watching you, so I made you search for answers, and I tracked

    Maeve POVI stood, looking at her dead body. She was truly dead, and I don’t know how I feel. Happy she is gone or sad because she was still the woman who gave birth to me. I looked at George.“How do you feel?” I asked, my voice hoarse. He blinked. We were the only ones in the room.“Lost,” he said, looking at her. She slit her own throat. She is a coward. I sighed.“I’m sorry you lived a lonely life because of her decisions,” I said. He looked at me.“Why are you apologizing? It wasn’t any of your fault she chose to abandon me,” he said. Who would have thought we were truly related? I never thought about it once, but I saw him as my little brother. When I met him, he was so young, lost, and innocent. I grew a soft spot for him as he stared at me innocently with his doe eyes. He was cute.“I wish you met your father; he would have loved you,” I said, chuckling. Father has a spot for people like George who are naughty, playful, and powerful; they would have gone along so well.“He see

    Ario POVI came outside of our room, heading to the living room. Everyone was here except Jane.“How is she?” Pa asked.“She keeps murmuring father in her sleep,” I said, collapsing on the couch.“She really loves her father,” he said, sitting beside me. I sighed.“I don’t blame her. All her life was a mess. Harold was the only one who cared for her and was there like a father, but he was not her true father. But Aelle is her father; she shares his blood, and he loves her. She must have planned something for this war; Aelle dying was not the plan,” I said. Everyone went quiet.“But why did Aelle take that sword? Jane obviously wronged him but still died for her,” Brandon said. I kept quiet, processing it.“He couldn’t stand watching his daughter kill her mother, the woman he loves,” I said.“It’s too sad,” Odin said, and I agreed with him. We all remained quiet in our thoughts. A lot happened today. After Aelle died, the remaining warriors retreated, running away. We didn’t lose many

The war just started and right now king Aelle was at the losing side as the warriors of cassia charged at them fiercely. It was like they just finished taking a lot of sugar, as their strength and energy can’t be compared to none. They were slaying king Aelle men like today’s bread.“Do not retreat!” king Aelle yelled from his horse. Shouting at the men. He was surprised. He thought they would be resting by now, too weak to fight, but it looks like they have not even trained today. His men were dying.“Archers, get ready,” he said, raising his hand. The archers point their bow, raised high in the sky.“Shoot!” he yelled. They all shot, and the arrows flew but they stopped mid air as a man appeared. He smiled at Aelle, his hand raised. He was holding the arrows.“Hello Aelle, my name is George and surprisingly you are my stepfather,” he said, smiling at him. Aelle look

But we didn’t break the palace to pieces; someone can still live inside.“Let’s go in,” I said, climbing a rock. Will Selene really stay here? Well, this is the only place in the kingdom she could possibly hide.“Take the left,” I said to the guards, and they bowed. Now it was just Brandon and me. We walked around, trying to get a scent or anything.“Do you really think she will be here?” he asked.“That is what Mabel said; she should be here or she left after finding out, we know,” I said. He sighed.“We really can’t get rid of her,” he said. Well, we all thought she was dead, so I understand him.“But what happens if she is here?” he asked.“Capture her before she causes more trouble,” I said. He scoffed.“Selene is not that easy to capture; she is powerful,” he said. I rolled my eyes.“She is powerful, but I am more powerful, and I have you,” I said. He chuckled.“I
