Maeve POV This was Xaden’s mother… I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was every bit I imagined a Luna Queen to be. Where the brash and terrifying Alpha King Arlan radiated unrestrained power and dominance with a mere glance, she glowed like a heavenly maiden that had fallen far beyond the Moon
Could I really stand up to the task? The intense fire that burned in the queen’s eyes was all-consuming, so much so that it threatened to swallow me whole, but at the same time, I’d never felt more alive. So few people had ever believed in me or my abilities so fervently. And, looking at Xaden, I
Xaden POV “I-I'm sorry,” Maeve stammered out quickly, rubbing her swollen lips together. I could still taste her, that natural, sweet tinge to her lips mixed with the red wine I’d drank during our dinner. “Did I do something wrong…?” The embarrassed blush that spread across her face made my hear
“What… what changed your mind…?” she managed to ask between moans. I dragged my teeth gently over her neck. “Someone with dark hair like midnight, blue eyes like the morning sky… and who looks like a dream when I fuck her until she can no longer speak…” I rolled into her once more, savoring the ch
Maeve POV This was it. Today was my first—official—day with Xaden’s mother, Luna Queen Leonora. To say I was nervous was the understatement of the century. Not only did I hope this first impression would go significantly smoother than that of the meeting with the Alpha King for the sake of my re
Suddenly, I wanted nothing more than to be swallowed whole by the earth. “I-I don’t—” “It’s only natural,” she tried to assure me. “You have feelings for him.” My heart pounded frantically against my ribcage. This would be the first time I’d ever say such things out loud. “I do…” “That’s a rel
Maeve POV The moment First Alpha Prince Henry and I locked eyes in the Great Hall of the palace, my body went still, struck by both awe and intimidation. As the esteemed firstborn of the royal alpha bloodline, he was one of the most impressive and influential men in the entire Werewolf Kingdom,
I wished I could say the same, but I felt incredibly conflicted. There was something about the way he looked down at me that rubbed me the wrong way. Like he thought he had something to gain if I slipped up. I recalled what Xaden had told me the first time he brought me to his mansion… about havin
A footstep sounded down the corridor and soon, someone was entering the foyer. I looked up to see former Queen Leonora enter; she still lived in the place, though she kept to herself mostly.“Packs are starting to gather in the Capital center. We should get going,” she announced.“But not everybody
The doors were already opened in preparation for their arrival. It didn’t take long for a very pregnant Charlotte to enter the foyer, a wide grin on her face when she saw us.“I’m so happy to see you!” She cooed as she rushed towards us. “I’ve missed you both so much.”Xaden was the first to hug her
Maeve’s POV10 years later.I pinned my red locks away from my face and brushed the stray strands off my shoulders, giving myself one last look in the mirror. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts and I turned in the direction of the door, inviting whoever it was to enter.“Your Majesty,
I glanced briefly at Xaden to see if he had noticed it as well. He was glancing between Nicholas and Charlotte.After a minute, Nicholas turned his attention from Charlotte to the rest of the room.“Sorry to interrupt,” he said, his eyes narrowing as he fixed his attention on Ethan. “But I need ot t
Maeve’s POV I stared at Queen Leonora in shock as she told the room of people, including Eric, that this woman was his mother. Eric’s face was pale as he took in the familiar features of his mother. The eyes that looked like his, the smile that he clearly got from her. Now I knew why she was so fam
“We shouldn’t stay here,” Eric said, breaking through the silence. “There could be more bears lurking around. We should get her back to the palace.”“Maeve, are you okay to walk?” Mirage asked, assessing the blood beneath her. It was an alarming amount of blood, but she was no longer looking pale.M
Xaden’s POVWith the Bear King and most of the bears being dead, the war had concluded. Now it was just time for a final sweep of the territory and some damage control. They also had to find out if there were any other survivors other than the ones that were already at the palace, being protected by
