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
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
Mia smiled at him; he was quite handsome. If she weren’t aiming to marry one of the royals, she would have settled for him. She could see his aura clear as day and she knew that he was of the Alpha bloodline. The paparazzi were all chanting for Mia, and she was nearly blinded by the flashing light
Third Person POV “Leave us,” Mia said to her warriors once she was settled in her room. “Settle into your own rooms.” Rachel showed them where their rooms were in passing before taking Mia and Emily to their joined rooms. They were able to throw their belongings into their rooms before joining M
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
