Third Person POV Alpha Kenneth stood in the King’s office; the King was just getting off the phone with his son, Xaden, and Kenneth was standing paralyzed. He was shocked at what he was hearing. Maeve had been kidnapped and then in an accident. A furious wave coursed through his veins, and he had
Nicholas stared at him for a moment, unsure about the cryptic message, but ultimately, he nodded before he turned away. “Yes, Father,” he answered, and, on that note, he walked away. A smile stretched across Kenneth’s lips; things couldn’t have been working out more perfectly. ….. Maeve’s PO
Xaden’s POV “Maeve is all set to be discharged,” the doctor said, handing me back the paperwork. I nodded my thanks to him and turned to Burke who had just arrived a few minutes ago. Maeve had been in the hospital for a couple of days and now I’m ready to take her home. I couldn’t wait to have her
“Don’t be too hard on yourself,” Maeve told her gently. “It would have happened regardless. Someone was after me and they weren’t going to stop until they got me into that car. None of this is your fault.” Maggie let out a distressed sob and covered her mouth as she stepped back. “I’m just so so
Third Person POV “There are guards everywhere around here. They’ve already almost caught me twice. I can’t go back again,” the rogue said on the phone. Kenneth’s hand tightened around the phone until his knuckles grew white. Fury rose inside of his chest. He had been sending rogues to the prince
“I’m feeling well,” I assured her. “It’s really nice to see you again.” “Brother,” Lucas said, patting Xaden on the back with a smile. “Glad you decided to take some time off and visit with us.” “I felt bad keeping Maeve to myself these last couple of weeks,” Xaden admitted. “Also, there had bee
Maeve’s POV My blood went cold from the sound of King Arlan’s words. I stared at him in disbelief. He had a stoic expression on his face and his lips were pressed in a thin line. He was staring between Xaden and me, and my cheeks were flushed red with embarrassment. Did he seriously think that thi
“Are we going home?” I asked him. He turned back to look at me, a smile appearing on his lips. “Not yet,” he told me. “I want to take you somewhere.” The guards that had been following us around, the ones I almost forgot were present, stood tall as Xaden whispered something to them. They looke
When his eyes found mine, his expression softened. “Maeve,” he said, staring around my face, his eyes wandering to my hair and then back to my eyes. “You look different.” “It’s her natural look, Daddy,” Charlotte said proudly, giving me an encouraging smile from across the table. He studied me f
Maeve’s POV I was nervous as we headed towards the palace. We were having dinner with Xaden’s family, and this would be the first time seeing them since I was in the hospital. Xaden didn’t seem as worried as I was, but so far, good experiences at family dinners with the royals have been limited. I
“I was on your team!” He growled, nearly shaking the entire dungeon. “I didn’t want you to continue making a fool out of yourself. Do you have any idea how important our image is right now, and you fucked it up, Isabelle! I’m in the running to be the next Alpha King. These next few months are crucia
Maeve’s POV I hadn’t noticed Charlotte slipping out of the room, but as soon as I turned around, I realized she was no longer standing at the doorway. I peeked up at Xaden who stared down at me with such sincerity that it made my heart skip a beat. “You love me?” I asked him, my heart thudding v
“You won’t need to worry about her going after Xaden,” she continued softly. “I know that’s why you left. You should know that Xaden doesn’t want her. He never did. It’s you he wants, Maeve.” I blushed at her words. “I want him too,” I admitted. “I shouldn’t have left like that. I should have st
“I took another paternity test,” I blurted, without giving him much of a warning. “Because I left… I took another test. I was going to show you the results but…” “I know,” he said, cutting off my words before I could say anything more. I furrowed my brows. “You know?” I asked him, confused.
Maeve’s POV “You’ve been dying your hair this whole time?” Xaden asked, his eyes wide as he studied me. I felt hot in the face under their scrutiny, and I hated that they were all staring at me like this. I knew I should have told Xaden the truth about me, but I couldn’t find it in me to do it. Tr
Xaden hugged me even tighter and kissed the top of my head. “It’s okay,” he whispered. “She can’t hurt you anymore. I won’t let that happen.” “What about Henry?” I asked. “He’s not going to be happy that his wife is in a dungeon. I’m assuming that’s where she is.” Xaden nodded. “That’s where
Maeve’s POV Once I was dressed, it was like a tornado of people flooding into the room. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the attention, but after a while, I started to relax. The first person who ran to me and wrapped her arms around me was Charlotte. She had tears in her eyes, and she hugged
