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,
Third Person POV “Wait a minute, where are you going??” Lucas asked as he sprung to his feet. Mia was storming away, clearly pissed off at him. “Anywhere but here. I refuse to marry an asshole like you,” she said, keeping her head held high. “Well, I don’t think you have much of a choice. You
After a moment, the guard opened the door wider and allowed Mia to enter the office. “Your majesty, may we speak?” Mia asked him. He looked up from his paperwork and smiled at her. “Of course,” he said, quickly standing to his feet. His main priority was ensuring Mia was satisfied; if she wasn
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.
Maeve’s POV I sat at the table, staring at the meal I had made for Xaden and I. Maggie offered to cook the meal, but I wanted to surprise Xaden myself. I hadn’t seen him all day and I missed him like crazy. He was supposed to be home 30 minutes ago, but he wasn’t, and I had to admit I was a bit wo
I wrapped my arms around my body, feeling sick to my stomach. I hadn’t eaten all night, and I knew that was bad for the baby, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel hungry. At least not until I knew Xaden was okay. “His phone is off still,” Maggie said with a sigh. “It’s okay,” I whispered. “I’m su
A footstep sounded down the corridor and soon, someone was entering the foyer. I looked up to see former Queen Leonora enter; she still lived in the place, though she kept to herself mostly.“Packs are starting to gather in the Capital center. We should get going,” she announced.“But not everybody
The doors were already opened in preparation for their arrival. It didn’t take long for a very pregnant Charlotte to enter the foyer, a wide grin on her face when she saw us.“I’m so happy to see you!” She cooed as she rushed towards us. “I’ve missed you both so much.”Xaden was the first to hug her
Maeve’s POV10 years later.I pinned my red locks away from my face and brushed the stray strands off my shoulders, giving myself one last look in the mirror. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts and I turned in the direction of the door, inviting whoever it was to enter.“Your Majesty,
I glanced briefly at Xaden to see if he had noticed it as well. He was glancing between Nicholas and Charlotte.After a minute, Nicholas turned his attention from Charlotte to the rest of the room.“Sorry to interrupt,” he said, his eyes narrowing as he fixed his attention on Ethan. “But I need ot t
Maeve’s POV I stared at Queen Leonora in shock as she told the room of people, including Eric, that this woman was his mother. Eric’s face was pale as he took in the familiar features of his mother. The eyes that looked like his, the smile that he clearly got from her. Now I knew why she was so fam
“We shouldn’t stay here,” Eric said, breaking through the silence. “There could be more bears lurking around. We should get her back to the palace.”“Maeve, are you okay to walk?” Mirage asked, assessing the blood beneath her. It was an alarming amount of blood, but she was no longer looking pale.M
Xaden’s POVWith the Bear King and most of the bears being dead, the war had concluded. Now it was just time for a final sweep of the territory and some damage control. They also had to find out if there were any other survivors other than the ones that were already at the palace, being protected by

Third Person POVMaeve had completely passed out; her heart rate had decreased significantly, and her breathing was shallow. She was too weak to have given birth to an Enigma without consequences to her own health. Eric knew this and couldn’t believe what was happening.The woman tried hard to clean
