“Oh, of course,” the Queen said with a small frown; she couldn’t mask her slight disappointment. “I didn’t mean to put so much pressure on you. Meet me down in the foyer and I’ll grab Lucas.” Mia nodded as the queen left. Mia spent the next several minutes getting ready to meet her fiancé for the
She pressed her lips in a thin line and folded her arms across her chest. He was one to talk; he didn’t research anything about the Vixen community either! “I did, but I’d like to know about them from you and not what I’ve read online. You know, stories online aren’t always true,” she told him,

Xaden’s POV “Xaden, I need to speak with you for a moment,” my father said as he intercepted me before I was able to leave for the day. I hadn’t seen Maeve all day and I was itching to return home and spend a little time with her. I sighed and turned to my father. “Yeah, sure,” I said to him a
Realization dawned on me when her smile grew, and her eyes became impossibly big. “You’re the maid I met earlier,” I said, narrowing my eyes at her. She chuckled and bit her lower lip. “Guilty,” she said, shrugging her shoulders. “I don’t understand…” I said, glancing at Emily before returni
At one point, Emily returned with our tea and then she left again, giving us some privacy to talk further upon Mia’s request. I learned more about Mia than I anticipated, and she learned way too much about me in return. She was good at reading people, and she seemed rather understanding at times.
I knelt beside him; we were in our own little bubble. Nothing could touch us as long as my shield was up and keeping us protected. Even as the world burned around us, it all faded away as I wrapped my arms around him, crying into his chest and begging for him to be okay. He looked so broken and vuln
Maeve’s POV“No…” I whispered, staring up at him. “H…how could you?”“It wasn’t personal, Maeve. You will never be in danger, as long as you are carrying that Enigma. But this is the reality of the situation. We didn’t start this war… but we are finishing it,” Eric said, his eyes narrowed as he star
“Miss Maeve!” I heard someone saying from nearby and telling from the tone, it wasn’t the first time they were trying to get my attention.I turned to see one of the Gamma warriors standing at the doorway of King Arlan’s office.“I need to round up all the women and children. You need to come with m

He was seated at his desk alone, typing something on his computer. He looked tired and his darkened expression remained on his face as I stepped into the office. He looked up at me, narrowing his eyes.“What can I do for you?” He asked.I kept my distance from him, still not trusting him.There was
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
