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’s POV My brows drew together as I stared at him. Princess Mia? He was with Princess Mia last night? But that didn’t make any sense. Mia was supposed to be marrying Lucas; so why would Xaden spend the night with her? My body was trembling violently. “I thought she was marrying Luc
He sighed and his eyes found mine once again. “Come upstairs with me,” he told me, holding his hand out for me to take. I stared at it, feeling uneasy. Had he held Mia’s hand with that same hand? Is that why her scent was all over him? “Maeve…” he said, his voice dropping to a low whisper. “Pl
Maeve’s POV I ran my fingers up Xaden’s incredible body; his 6-pack smooth to the touch. My heart was hammering against my chest at rapid speed and my breathing hitched when he lifted me off the ground and sat me on the counter. His lips covered mine in a sweet kiss; it was as if he was asking per
“And what about your brother? Isn’t it his job to keep his fiancé happy?” She asked, tilting her head to the side. “Yes, but apparently they got into an argument and now they won’t speak to one another,” I told her again. “I’m sure he’ll get his head out of his ass soon. I’m going to talk to him l
Maeve’s POV Princess Mia was beautiful; she had to have been the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, and her aura was so strong that it nearly brought me to my knees. I glanced up at Xaden and I wondered briefly how he could possibly look at her and not feel extremely attracted to her. She was
“What?” I asked, my voice coming out barely audible. “I… I don’t understand.”“I’m not sure how much you already know about us, but we are the remaining members of the Red Oak Tribe.”My mouth nearly fell to the ground at her reveal. I stared around her face, the shock nearly consuming me. The Red O
Maeve’s POV“I think she’s waking up.”“She looks so much like Esmeralda, it’s crazy.”“Sssh, give her some space.” I woke to the sound of murmurs all around me, mostly women, but I could feel the presence of a man or two as well. The smell of a burning fire invaded my nose, and I felt the warm am
I glared, my wolf surging forward and an intimidating manner, making the man before me flinch. He was bound to a chair with silver cuffs, making him weak and impossible to shift into his wolf.“Then why did I find these photographs in your belongings?” I asked, holding up a few photos of the royal f

“Is Xaden on his way?” I asked, changing the subject and talking about something that really mattered… my mate.The guard stared at the ground for a moment, trying to figure out what to say which confused me. It was a simple answer that didn’t require much thought.“He’s been alerted of the situatio
Third Person POVRight after Eric’s meeting with the Bear King, one of his spies contacted him to tell him that he overheard Henry planning an attack on Maeve while Xaden was away. Eric sent his men to assess the situation, and they had just called him to tell him that they were able to stop the att
Leonora paled at the thought as she wrapped her arms around her body. The thought of someone she trusts working with the enemy gave her a creepy feeling like she was being watched at that very moment.“What are we to do?” She finally asked after a beat of silence.“Henry thinks we could pool togethe
