Maeve POV

I breathe out in front of the mirror. I was nervous. I never thought I would be nervous, but today I am having cold feet. I never imagined in my entire life I would have a son, a son I didn’t know about. Don’t know how to feel, but it just makes everything that the witch said true. I am really Selena, and Ario is Carson.

“You’ve been standing in front of that mirror for hours now,” Ario said, Quinn in his arms.

“What am I supposed to do? Hello, hi, my name is Maeve, and I am your mother,” I said, staring at him from the mirror. He smiled while walking close to me.

“Mama,” Quinn said, doing grabby hands. I glared at Ario.

“You are spoiling her way too much; you should stop carrying her. She is no longer a baby,” I said, carrying her from Ario’s arms. I smiled at her; she is just a mini me. I looked exactly like this when I was her age.

“You spoil her just as much as I do,” he said, smirking at us. I rolled my eyes.

“But, honestly, you should relax. I’m sure Odin understands wh

    Maeve POVOdin sat in front of the mirror, looking at me quietly as I cut his hair. He said he was tired of keeping long hair, so I am going to cut it short and also trim it. But his hair is really healthy and full; I love the thickness of his hair.“You have such pretty hair,” I said, running my hands through it.“I got it from you,” he said. I smiled, knowing that’s how my hair is; the only difference is that his is thicker.“Who raised you after you knew we died?” I asked. He breathed out.“Well, after you died, I ran,” he said. I looked at him, surprised.“Really?” I asked.“Yes, I ran,” he said.“Why?” I asked. He breathed out.“Well, after you died, Selena was angry, and she wanted her revenge. She wanted to kill me, so I ran before she could,” he said.“But you were just a little pup,” I said.“Yes, but she didn’t care. She wanted to kill the one thing you cared so much for,” he said.“So, how did you survive?” I asked.“Well, I kept on running. I never stopped because she kept

    Selena POV“Why can’t you love me?” I asked, staring at Carson. We were in the abandoned ballroom of my mother’s palace, and this was the only place I could meet Carson without Selene knowing. All I want for him is to love me like he used to; I was his, and he was mine. How can a little spell change his feelings for me?“I have told you, Selena, Selene is my mate; she is meant for me,” he said, and he didn’t even say it like he meant it; it was obvious he was under a spell. I held his hand, tears falling from my eyes.“Carson, she is not your mate; everything is a lie; remember, I am yours and you are mine; our son is a proof of our love; we need you; I need you,” I said with every emotion in me, hoping he would recover from his senses, but he removed his hand and turned his back away from me, leaving the ballroom. I carried my gown, running to him and holding him by the leg.“You can’t leave me like this, Carson; you promised me!” I yelled, gripping his leg.“Let go of me,” he said, t

    Maeve POVI gasped, waking up from my sleep. I rubbed my sweaty face. Looking around me, my pillow was soaking wet, and my black shirt was wet from my sweat. I looked around me as I remembered the dream, except it wasn’t a dream; it was my reality, a memory of what happened years ago. Tears pulled up in my eyes as I was forced to remember that awful memory. I never meant to kill him; it was a mistake.“Stop overthinking,” the sweet voice of my mate said, and I looked up, tears falling down my eyes.“Carson,” I whispered, looking at him. He walked towards me, putting the tray I didn’t notice he was carrying on the table, and then he sat beside me, looking at me.“You remember to,” he said, not looking at me. I look down, nodding my head.“I’m sorry, I did….” He cut me off, placing his hand softly on my cheeks, and he kissed me. The kiss was aggressive, like he was trying to punish me, and I let him, tears rolling down my eyes. After he got rid of his anger, he pulled back, staring at me

    Ario POVI continued punching the wall in anger as I remembered everything. I was such a fool; she was the most loving woman I knew. How can I accuse her of killing innocent pups? Why didn’t I listen to her? I told her communication was key; why didn’t I pay attention to her? I chose to believe that cunning bitch! I growled, punching the wall with all my strength, and I bent.“I would stop that if I were you,” the voice said. I turned around, and Odin stood by the wall, staring at my bleeding hand. He breathed out, sitting on the couch in my study. I sighed, walking slowly and sitting beside him, and we were in an awkward silence. I remembered when I would always make time to see him; even though I was angry with Selena or thought I was, I never wanted to miss any day of his life. I always take him outside the kingdom a lot. He was growing up to be like his father, and I wanted to watch him grow to see me as an example, but I fucked up.“You hurt her,” he said. I breathe out, nodding m

    Maeve POVI stood up straight, looking at my hands.“I guess I have gotten my powers back,” I said, stretching my fingers.“And I can control them fine,” I said, twirling fire in my right hand and water in my left. I looked at Ario, and he was staring at me nervously, and I could read his thoughts. Hearing him and Odin talk gave me the peace I knew I wanted. I was happy he wasn’t doing all he did for selfish reasons.“Eve,” he said, clearing his throat, and I looked at him, saying nothing.“Step away from the glass so I can clean that up,” he said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly. I walked towards him, and he moved back nervously. I might be more powerful than him, but he would always tower over my small height. I wrap my arms around his waist, hugging him tightly.“You selfish bastard,” I said, sniffing. He nervously hugged me back, patting my back awkwardly because he was confused. I chuckled, looking at him.“Don’t make decisions for me, Ario; I will forget everything that

    Maeve POV We walk down the hills. We have been walking for a long time, and it’s getting dark, but we are almost there. The walk could have taken longer, but we are strong, so it can only take us a few hours. “How do you feel about Felix's betrayal?” I asked. “I feel betrayed obviously; we have both come a long way, but he was getting distant, and I tried to know what was going on, but he didn’t let me in. One time he told me to meet my new family,” he said. I hum, knowing I didn’t know this happened. “You abadoned him,” I said. “I didn’t abandon him; I never did. When Duncan and Brandon came around, we were all friends; we drank together, did berbercue, and trained together. Then Rico was isolating himself. He was slacking, so Duncan filled his spot because he refused to do it; he was slow and not accurate, and then over time, Duncan completely filled his spot; obviously, it was no one's fault; we were doing well together,” he said. “I guess he chose his side earlier than we all

    Maeve POVWe appeared in the living room; of course, George teleported us here, and no one was in the living room.“Where are you guys?” I mind linking Duncan.“Maeve? Oh, thank fuck, you are here; the pack is under attack,” Duncan rushed.“Where are the kids?” I asked.“Odin said he kept them safe,” he said. I looked at Ario and George.“I can’t believe they are attacking right after we left,” I said, going to our room to fetch my sword.“Selene told them to attack because you two are not here and you’ve been gone for 5 days,” he said, following us. I entered the closet trying to change, but before I could do anything, my outfit changed to armor, and there was a sword in my hand. I gasped.“My sword,” I said, looking at it. This is a special sword that can kill any god. This is the sword that killed Ario and I; how did he find it?“Your sister tried to hide it, but I stole it,” he said, and even Ario was in armour and with a sword. I smiled.“Okay, let’s go,” I said, and we rushed out

    Maeve POVI turned around, and I saw they were retreating.“Did you get Jasper?” I mind link Duncan.“No, I didn’t see him, but Ario is with Elizabeth,” he said. I took a deep breath, looking for Ario, then traced his scent, and I got to him, and he was holding Elizabeth down. I walked to them.“Where is Jasper?” I asked, staring at her. She has changed; her hair is dark, and she looks evil with the red shade of lipstick.“Why should I tell you?” she asked, smirking. I grabbed her throat, draining her life out of her.“Where is Jasper?” I asked, my voice deep. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she was limp in my hands.“You are killing her,” Ario said, holding my hand. I dropped her, and she gasped, holding her throat.“Where is Jasper?” I asked, using my command on her. She looked at me, her eyes blank. She opened her mouth, about to talk, but an arrow pierced through her heart, and she fell to the floor, dead. I had no idea where the arrow came from, but she was dead.“I c

    Maeve POVHow long has it been? About 30 years later? I lost count, honestly. These long years have been filled with a lot of adventure, but surely a lot of things have changed. 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. She was actually his friend for a long time; she was helping him move on and being a mother figure in the twins’ lives, and along

    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

    Maeve POV“Yes, it was all an illusion. Attacking the villages, stealing crops, and attacking the military zone was all an illusion Otto created,” I said. 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

    Ario POVWe stood in front of the palace. Although we broke it down, we didn’t reconstruct it; we left it like that. 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
