MAEVE POVI glanced at the overhead clock. 10:20 o’clock…And I was supposed to be at the palace in ten minutes!I was cutting it close. Very close.Dr. Meadows’ clinic was, by no means, far away from the palace. Not only was it within two miles of Mona Road, but we had even finished with nearly for
“Mother,” Charlotte beckoned, prompting her mother to turn around, “our last guest has finally arrived.”“Your Majesty,” I whispered, curtsying before lifting my gaze to meet hers. “I’m sorry, I hope I’m not too late.”Queen Leonora shook her head. “Nonsense, you’re right on time.”For the first tim
“I… have no idea what I’m doing,” I admitted with a helpless laugh.She gave me a small smile, putting down her own project and scooting ever so closer to me. “You see, you take the colored strings you want, and then you tie a knot at the top here,” she said, pointing at the end of my batch of strin
MAEVE POVThe rest of the morning flew by, and before long, I found myself with an adequately made bracelet and a mildly dry throat from all the talking I’d done.I survived the lesson. I still wasn’t sure how, but I did… and it felt so natural. Not once did I feel like I had to put on a mask or pre
“It’s interesting,” Isabelle said with a sneer, “how you could’ve married into literally any other pack in the entire kingdom and yet… you chose mine.” She waved her hand, gesturing towards the unsuspecting Queen Leonora, who busied herself with a few of the lingering guests.Huh…I had faintly reca
MAEVE POVEric collided with the marble tile floor with powerful force, the sound ringing so violently, so painfully in my ears that I could not help but flinch with a gasp. Meanwhile, his father towered above himHe… he just hit him. In front of everybody…The commotion between the Alpha King and h
“Well, if you insulted him, all the better,” I boldly insisted. “I’d consider that well-deserved payback for all the horrible treatment you’ve endured.”He hummed. For a moment, silence surrounded us once again, until Eric slowly came to a stop.“You know what… I-I’m sorry, I can’t do this. I would
MAEVE POVMy mind ran awhirl the entire drive home. That day was turning out to be far more eventful than I’d ever expected. Even as I left the car and strolled up the stairs to reach the front door, I couldn’t help but wonder about my baby, mull over today’s lesson, worry about Eric…It was exhaust
“That’s kind of you, but not necessary,” I told him, remembering that the last pristine doctor he set me up with gave a false paternity test and pretty much ruined my life. If it weren’t for that one test, Xaden wouldn’t have strayed to another. “I have a really good doctor that I trust.” Kenneth
Maeve’s POV Victoria gave me a smug look and then stepped away as she turned to face Alpha Kenneth. “Alpha Kenneth,” she said in greeting. “Maeve was teetering on your territory and I’m doing my services by taking care of the issue. She is my daughter after all and it’s my responsibility to make
She stared up at him and saw that he was serious, but she wasn’t so sure if he was right. She just hoped that her son made the right choice and didn’t break Maeve’s heart. …. Maeve’s POV The mansion was quiet; it was late in the evening, and I knew most of the mansion staff were sleeping, incl
Third Person POV The Queen and King remained in the garden a moment longer with Princess Mia. She had watched Xaden leave the gardens with a lungful expression on her face and then she sighed. The conversation wasn’t exactly how she planned; his viewpoints on certain topics were a bit alarming and
“Then what exactly were you trying to do exactly?” I asked him. “You didn’t really try to woo her now, did you?” “No…” he murmured, shuffling in his shoes. “I didn’t and that’s the reason I’m sorry. You have to pick up the slack because of me. Now she’s set to marry you…” “You knew about this?”
Xaden’s POV The more I spoke to Princess Mia the more bored I got. Sure, she was the princess of the Vixen territory, and she was a pretty badass warrior, but there weren’t many more interesting things about her. She was pretty basic, and the conversation became dull. The moment she started to a
I was completely alone, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Hours had gone by, and I remained barricaded in my bedroom, unable to move from the bed. There was a light knock on the door, and I knew that it had to be Maggie with my food. “Miss Maeve, you should eat something,” she said from
Maeve’s POV For a moment, I wasn’t sure what to do. I stared at my fiancé telling another woman that he would only have a child out of royal duty. He sounded almost cold and calculating as he spoke. Mia nodded along with each word he said, a frown marring her lips and a small crease between her pe
A smile spread across my face as I read the paper and then I quickly rushed out of the room and back into the living room. Maggie was still seated on the couch, staring at the door with a worried expression, but she jumped when I ran into the room. “The results, Maggie,” I said, showing them to he
