Maverick's POV"So do you like the rumors going about in the palace?" I calmly asked her and she scoffed and closed her eyes. I tightened my hands and loosen it, then walked towards her."Brynlee" "Leave me alone."She groaned. I sighed then claimed the bed and pinned her down with her face pressed against the pillow."How would it feel if I made you go through half of what you had caused in the palace these days?" I leaned against her back, while making sure I didn't hurt her."Let go of me!" She screamed but I didn't listen to her."I'll only do that if you walk out of here and apologize to them. Don't you know what it feels like to lose your title? You lose your name and everything. That throne has been empty for a long and now that you are back you want to destroy it? Who does that?" I was baffled by all these.What type of human Is this? Aish, I forgot she's no longer a human but still.She's so stubborn!"Can you let me go now?" She asked but I didn't move. Instead, I ran my han
Maverick's POVI swallowed hard, ready to take her into my arms. Perhaps, it was for the better. I drew her closer to my chest as I tried to grab her rounded buttocks. My heart was beating and my loins were throbbing hard.Just when I want to get down to business, I heard a voice penetrating through my head. "We are here," Loren's voice jolted me out of my thoughts. Was I too love deranged that I was daydreaming about my own mate? I thought it was real and I was about to have the most romantic moment with my mate. Unfortunately, I was called out of the reverie by my damn Beta.I stared at him and saw him nodding to the music playing in the car. I looked outside and saw an average looking home. It was unlike the first house I took Brynlee from. "This place?" I asked to be sure. He stood dan then looked outside."Yes, it is. Is there something wrong?" He asked."No, let's hope that they are Inside," I replied, then unlocked the door and got out of the car. The faint morning breeze br
Alexandra's POV"We are here," Loren said as we entered the grandiloquent building. I couldn't help but gasp at how beautiful and luxurious it was.Is this really the place where my 'daughter' has been living? My eyes rolled at this but I still made sure to feast my eyes with everything I could see. I watched as the maids quickly take our luggages towards the Mansion and they all look so happy with their work "Woow," I gasped in disbelief. Don't tell me they are enjoying the luxury here?Hell yeah! It's better I stick to the deal and stay here forever but… I do not think the clean way is good."Ma'am, is there anything I can do? I mean, you asked me to come over leaving the house empty," a disturbing voice interrupted my inner happiness.I turned to stare dagger at the haggard looking maid I brought with me. If not that she was very good at her job and somehow, I just can't chase her too."What's that name of yours again?" I asked, making sure to sound demeaning."Willow" She said
Alexandra's POV"How long have you been here, willow?" I asked the frightened woman before me."It hasn't been long, ma'am. I only came here to inform you that I have to head back home now. I do not have any money with me and I don't think I can stay in this place stranded," She replied.My brows creased at her words but then she said right. She can't spend all her time here without earning from it.She needs money to survive and I don't expect to keep her around me. There are a lot of maids in here who can meet all my needs but then… I do not think they are worthy of my trust.So that's where she comes useful."Ma'am," She called out."Yes, you can stay," I gasp out then sighed."I can't stay here, ma'am. I need money," She argued."Money Is not the problem. I will pay you while you do some minor jobs for me. Let's just take it as our usual routine before I came here. I can't trust anyone in this palace and I've known you for a month now. Apart from Regina, you are the next person I
Third Person POVUncle's Beth's gaze sharpened as he stared at the shadow standing at the window.There was a moment of silence before it slowly disappeared from there. "What's that?" He muttered as he quickly ran towards the window to check but no one was there. He sighed then turned towards the dressing table. He picked the bottle with serenity and placed it gently inside the drawer."Get ready to meet your demise," He chuckled lightly as he climbed the bed and slept soundly.Hours passed in the blink of an eye and it was morning already. A maid walked towards his room and knocked gently."Sir, breakfast is ready," The maid said but he simply ignored her. He wore his suit and walked past her."Tell the driver to get the car ready. I'll be there in 4 minutes," He said to the maid as he made himself a coffee. The maid nodded and dash off to relay the order. Few minutes after that, he was on his way to Maverick's mansion. It didn't take long before the car pulled into the mansion."W
Willow's POVThere were so many words I wished to tell my daughter. I wish I could tell her how sorry I was to leave her alone all these years. I wish I could stop all the maltreatment she received from Alexandra after the death of her father.But I just couldn't. I didn't want to make her life more complicated than it already was. How could I tell her that she was at risk then because I broke the rule of witches?Back then, powerful witches of the royal bloodline were forbidden to mate with humans. That was how we were taught, not until I met Brynlee's father. He was so perfect that I fell in love with him.But of course, I knew the implications of what I was getting myself into. To protect him, I wanted to denounce my witchy powers. I was determined to be ordinary so I could be with Brynlee's father.I never knew those were just my wishful thinking. The man I fell in love with lied to me. I found out another woman was pregnant with his child. Filled with fury, I wanted to destroy h
Author's POV"Is it because it's poison?" Willow asked and Alexandra's brows creased together."How dare you give an accusation without proof?" Alexandra thundered."You know what I hate the most? It's dramas. It's either you give her that pie like she requested or get your head on a platter for being a traitor," Brynlee coldly replied."Mr Maverick! Will you let her talk to your guest like that?!" Alexandra accused.Maverick stared at her then back at the pie. If the woman knew how much he pampers his mate, she wouldn't dare ask him that. But for the fact that they are trying to deceive Alexandra, he just had to play along. "Is it truly poisoned?" He calmly asked. Alexandra's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was Maverick suddenly believing them? Didn't he ask her over here because he wanted her help? Wasn't that why he always danced to her tune? "You don't believe me?" She feigned a sad look on her face. Maverick simply stared at her without saying a word. Alexandra's hands tightene
As soon as Alexandria and Regina was taken away, hurried footsteps were heard coming towards the place they were. It was Loren and Tamara who heard about another poisoning episode."I heard about what happened. Are you both fine?" Loren rushed inside the mansion along with Tamara.Brynlee stopped with what she was doing then stared at the couple who just came in."Loren? Tamara?" Her eyes widened in surprise. Tamara stared at her, surprised then stared at Maverick who gave a short nod."You finally remember us?" She asked with watery eyes. Brynlee nodded frantically and they both held each other screaming."I thank God that everything is fine now," Loren walked towards Maverick. He took a seat on one of the sofas while he watches the ladies.He was about to say something but Maverick phone started ringing. He stared at the buzzing phone and the table."Hello?" Maverick coldly asked. He knew who the caller was and he wondered why he called?"Are you free?" Uncle Berth's voice sounded f
