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
“Sarah, you remember Alpha Kenneth,” Victoria said, motioning for the Alpha. “Yes,” the girl, Sarah, said nodding her head. “And his daughter, Isabelle. The Luna Princess,” Victoria continued, motioning for Isabelle. “Of course,” Sarah said, bowing her head slightly to Isabelle. “It’s an honor
Third Peron POV “Do you really think Xaden would break her heart?” Sarah asked, doubt creeping in. She had been locked away in this dungeon for too long. She was itching to be set free and begin her revenge plan on Maeve. She wanted Maeve to suffer in unimaginable ways for what she had done. “If
“Okay,” she murmured. After they said their goodbyes, Victoria left and returned home to Moonstone. Just before she reached the front door of her home, her phone started to ring in her purse. She sighed and reached for it; she frowned when she saw Bella’s name flash across the screen. “Why are y
Third Person POV King Arlan was furious, and he was completely blindsided. He felt lied to. Just when he accepts the idea of Xaden marrying Maeve, he finds out that she’s nothing but an illegitimate child. He even spoke to Lucas earlier that morning and convinced him to speak with Mia and get th
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
“I took another paternity test,” I blurted, without giving him much of a warning. “Because I left… I took another test. I was going to show you the results but…” “I know,” he said, cutting off my words before I could say anything more. I furrowed my brows. “You know?” I asked him, confused.
Maeve’s POV “You’ve been dying your hair this whole time?” Xaden asked, his eyes wide as he studied me. I felt hot in the face under their scrutiny, and I hated that they were all staring at me like this. I knew I should have told Xaden the truth about me, but I couldn’t find it in me to do it. Tr
Xaden hugged me even tighter and kissed the top of my head. “It’s okay,” he whispered. “She can’t hurt you anymore. I won’t let that happen.” “What about Henry?” I asked. “He’s not going to be happy that his wife is in a dungeon. I’m assuming that’s where she is.” Xaden nodded. “That’s where
Maeve’s POV Once I was dressed, it was like a tornado of people flooding into the room. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the attention, but after a while, I started to relax. The first person who ran to me and wrapped her arms around me was Charlotte. She had tears in her eyes, and she hugged
