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 POV“I am not sure we can get anything of Jasper here,” I said, looking at the place that used to be a land full of happy pack members.“Yes, it’s been five years,” Brandon said. It has been a few days, and me, Brandon, Ario, and George decided to come check the pack.“Nothing is here, no scents, no life; everything looks abandoned,” I said. Ario breathes out.“So what do we do?” Ario asked. I looked at George.“Is there another way to locate him?” I asked.“Yes, if I can know where he stays exactly, I can get you to him,” he said.“But you are a warlock. Isn’t it supposed to be easy for you?” Brandon asked.“Yes, but I don’t see everything; my eyesight is sometimes very limited, so I can only see things nature wants me to see,” he said. I sighed.“Who can get us to him?” I asked.“Just Maya and Felix,” Brandon said.“How do we lure them here? I can’t remember when last I saw Maya,” Ario said, and it’s true. I can’t remember when I last saw her; we all completely forgot about her
Maeve POVI breathe out, standing in front of the warriors we have been training for five years. Now, it’s time to put their training to the test. They have filled these two weeks with even more hard training; we have been here and there getting everyone ready. The pack knows what is going on, but we have tried to keep them calm because we know Selene has her eyes on us and we won’t want her to find out what is going on. Well, that is where George comes in; he has been keeping tabs on her, and every time he notices her presence, he makes things different in the pack from what is actually going on, which helps a lot. But now it’s time to put them to the test.“Suncreek pack!” Ario yelled over the crowd, and everywhere was quiet. We were all ready, wearing our armour, and ready to attack.“We have been training tirelessly for years now; some of you have been here since we started the elite training, while some of you are new here and some of you are just getting here, but we are here now
Maeve POVI walked around the pack; there were dead bodies everywhere, but not much from my pack. I could barely see any dead warriors, which made me proud because all that training showed they fought would have been devastated if they were to die like the rogues because we trained them hard.“Where are you?” I mind-link Ario.“At the factory,” he replied, and I walked towards the factory. The factory is where the rogues are kept and experimented on. Getting there, I saw all of them standing by a body, and I could hear Maya crying. Getting there, she was crying on Felix’s dead body.“You killed him?” I asked, standing beside Ario.“I was about to, but she killed him herself,” he said, still staring at Maya.“Why did she kill him?” I asked, surprised.“He has been so horrible to her; he would rape or sleep with any female that came his way, abuse Maya, and treat her like his puppet; one time he almost armed their pup, Lana,” Odin said, and we all kept quiet.“who knew he would turn like
Maeve POVWe came out of the portal, and we were in the woods, but this wood was different. There were beautiful hills and mountains. The grass looks so green and healthy, and the fresh breeze blows me as the beautiful scent of fresh flowers goes up my nose. Yeah, this has that fresh atena scent.“Wow, beautiful landscape,” Brandon said as I took Otto’s hands.“But why are we here? Brandon asked, and immediately he said that some horses with carriages came toward us. The men came down from the horses. “Welcome back, my lord,” they said, bowing their heads. Odin waved his hand dismissively.“Mother, father, you ride this carriage,” Odin said, and the guards turned to us, and a gasp left their lips.“Warrior princess, god of war, you are alive,” they said in unison, bowing their heads flat.“Lead me to the carriage,” I said, dismissing them and they nod their heads, avoiding eye contact with me.“Why can’t I mind link?” Brandon whispered, but we all heard him.“There are different super
Maeve Pov It’s been two weeks since we got here, and we are finally settled. I have not moved around much because Ario brought in the idea of having a ball before the coronation to introduce Ario and me, so everyone can be aware we are alive because, according to Odin, nobody knows if we are alive or not. So, hence the ball. “You look pretty, as always,” Ario said, hugging me from behind. I am dressed in a cream-coloured gown. The up and arms of the gown are net, showing my skin and the gown has a slit starting from my thighs. The gown is tight, hugging my curves tightly, and what I love about the gown is the gemstone's embroidery on it. I can’t imagine how much this gem is worth. The gems adore the gown, and it gave it this sparkly look. Then my black hair is wavy, covering my back, and the make-up is soft, with the red on my lips giving me a soft but dangerous look. I look approachable and intimidating, but I love the look the maids have tried their best in making look like this.
Maeve POV The double doors opened, and the spotlight was on us. There was a collective gasp as their eyes fixed on us. The hall was quiet, the tension and shock were choking, and I tried my best to hold back an eye roll. “Presenting, the goddess of war, Selena, who is now called Maeve and the first and only wolf ever made, her mate Ario, formerly known as Carson, and, of course, their children, Otto and Quinn! King Odin's family!” a man yelled inside the mic, making my ears cringe because the hall was silent. “He didn’t need to yell so loud,” Otto said, walking ahead, and I chuckled, following him. We walked slowly, the spotlight still on us, and suddenly I stopped walking, noticing a change in the air. It felt cold. And I knew who that was. I turned around, and of course, she came in wearing the exact clothes I was wearing. The hair was alike, except the eyes. Over the days, my eyes have been looking more blue than they used to, but hers is still plain brown, so people can still te
Maeve POV I chuckled loudly as Leah and Brandon screamed loudly in my ears. “Oh, my goodness!” Leah yelled. “I can’t believe I am in a family with a two-time goddess!” Brandon yelled. I chuckled, sitting down on the couch. After Jane asked me such a powerful question, of course I said yes; who wouldn’t? After I said yes, everyone cheered, and the party went on as Selene was forgotten. I greeted a lot of past friends; it was nice to see them all, and now the party is over and we are in the living room of our quarters, and they are all going crazy. Pa sat down beside me, holding my hands. “I don’t even know what to call you now, my daughter, my queen, or my goddess,” he said, chuckling. “Even if I have one billion titles, it doesn’t change anything; I will always be your daughter,” I said, hugging him tightly. “Oh, how I wish Harold was here,” he said, sniffing. “He is in a better place, pa,” I said. Rubbing his back. I know my father is watching me; he has a kind soul, and I know
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
Third Person POVWar covered the palace of Cassia kingdom as men fought against each other, slaying each other's head. 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
