She leaned in close with a cheeky grin. “We both know you came here so you could gawk at his handsome face every day.” My face reddened with embarrassment. Calm down, I thought. She doesn’t know anything. She just wants to get under your skin. Maggie, apparently, was still stunned by the rev
Maeve POV “Your Highness!” Bella gasped, hastily pulling away from me. In her surprise, she dropped the crystal wine glass she’d been holding and it shattered into hundreds of little pieces upon impact. The room froze, falling so quiet that one might be able to hear a pin drop. No one knew what

Maeve’s POV“I think she’s waking up.”“She looks so much like Esmeralda, it’s crazy.”“Sssh, give her some space.” I woke to the sound of murmurs all around me, mostly women, but I could feel the presence of a man or two as well. The smell of a burning fire invaded my nose, and I felt the warm am

“Is Xaden on his way?” I asked, changing the subject and talking about something that really mattered… my mate.The guard stared at the ground for a moment, trying to figure out what to say which confused me. It was a simple answer that didn’t require much thought.“He’s been alerted of the situatio
