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

Xaden’s POV That one maid looked so familiar, but I couldn’t figure out where I had seen her before. She was very nervous about being around me, and I wondered if it was because I was a royal, or because of something else. It almost felt like she was hiding something. I brushed the thought out o
“Do you need to visit the pack clinic?” I asked. “I could make some arrangements and—” “You are very kind,” she said quickly, stopping me. “But no… thank you though.” I nodded and watched as she turned and ran further away from me. That was such a strange encounter. I wasn’t sure what to think o

“Oh,” she gasped. “I didn’t see you there,” she said, peeking up at him through her lashes. “Are you okay?”“I was going to ask you the same question,” Eric said, clutching his bag tightly as he walked closer to her. “Why do you look as though you’ve seen a ghost?”Her cheeks turned pink, and she ni

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
