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
Maeve POV I never thought I would lose my V-card on such an ordinary day… and with the most unexpected person. I had indeed fantasized about leaving my current pack, leaving behind my Alpha father, stepmother, and half-sister, and escaping this “family” that treated me like I was nothing but a s
Maeve POV None of these words could adequately describe what I felt at that moment. Had I heard him correctly? I… could go to Sarah’s party? “Why is she allowed to come?” Sarah whined. “It’s my birthday party!” Father approached the open car door and affectionately patted her decorated head.
Xaden POV “Take me home, please,” I sighed. “And don’t stop for anything.” My driver nodded. “Yes, Prince Xaden, sir.” It had been a long, long day… and I wanted nothing more than to go home and rest. I’d met with yet another Alpha’s daughter tonight. Hypothetically speaking, the girl was pe

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
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
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,
“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
