I maintained steady eye contact with him, not willing to let him see me break. Not anymore at least, he had taken enough of my dignity and pride over the years. I wouldn’t allow him to take anything more.“How about we get seated for dinner,” Kenneth said, noticing the tension between my father and
Maeve’s POVI suddenly felt a little lighter knowing that Isabelle wasn’t going to join us for dinner. But I was curious as to why she chose not to be here. I knew that Alpha Kenneth said she wasn’t feeling well, but I couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to it than that. She always jumped at
Xaden placed a hand on my leg again and gave me a gentle squeeze which eased my mind slightly, but not nearly enough. He moved his hand upward to cup my belly and then I jumped slightly at the feeling of my baby kicking. Xaden sucked in a sharp breath when he felt it too and we both exchanged knowin
Third Person POVThe winter air was frigid against Burton's skin; he had run for hours through the snow in his human form. His wolf was healing from the recent battle. He wore the blood of those he had hunted and killed; the humans that weren’t worth keeping alive. There was no place for the weaker
Burton had to admit he admired her wits.“They are back at our campsite,” he admitted, not exactly sure why he was telling her this. “I was sent to scavenge the area.”“And that was how you found us?”Burton nodded, taking in her indifferent expression.“We aren’t stupid, Alpha. We know the wolves a

Maeve’s POVFor a moment, I thought I was once again alone. But then I heard the soft humming coming from the crib across the room. My heart swelled, knowing exactly who was going to be in that crib and I couldn’t get to him fast enough. As I peered into the crib and looked at my baby, my heart race
“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
