“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

Maeve’s POV My heart was racing as I sat in the doctor’s office. Kenneth called us last night to tell us that the appointment was set for this morning. Xaden sat by my side the entire time and held my hand while the doctor performed the test. He left to send in the results and now we were waiting
“You don’t have a choice,” the King said firmly, his aura darkening as his anger started to take place. “This is your duty as the royal son, Lucas. You can’t back out of this because it’s not up to you.” Lucas bit his lip and nodded. He wasn’t sure if this was what he wanted, but he knew he didn’t

Maeve’s POVHolding the spellbook in my hands, I could feel the power radiating off it. It was amazing that I couldn’t feel the power until the safe was open, but now I’m staring down at it, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. This spellbook once belonged to my mother and it was a book that only a

Maeve’s POV2 weeks later. “And you haven’t spoken to him?” I asked, my eyes wide as I stared at Charlotte across the small table in the queen’s garden. She grabbed her teacup and brought it to her lips, taking a small sip. Her eyes were clouded with the emotions she was trying desperately to keep

Maeve’s POV“You’re saying my father was trying to breed for an Enigma like Burton was?” Xaden asked, his nose flaring as he thought about his father’s deceit. “You’re saying he had an affair?”I nodded, putting my hand on his arm and giving him a gentle squeeze.“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” I
Nicholas nodded; his dark eyes looked almost penetrating.“Yes, Your Majesty,” Nicholas said before pushing off the wall and walking out the door.“It’s late, I think Maeve could use some rest,” Xaden suggested, clearly suggesting that he wanted his family to leave. Truth be told, as much as I enjoy

Anger boiled through me, and it took everything I had not to punch a hole in the wall. They were searching my mate and making sure she wasn’t a threat? She was a fucking victim and should be treated with more respect.“If they touched her…” I said, my anger reaching a point that I felt out of contro
