Xaden’s POV I know there had to be something wrong with the test results, but I couldn’t seem to face Maeve. When I reached our bedroom, I stared at the bed that I shared with my mate, and I couldn’t help but wonder if everything was a lie. Was she truly my mate? Or was it a lie? Had my father b
“You’re right,” I finally said. “I’ll talk to her later. But for now, I need to tend to Princess Mia.” My mother gave me a look that didn’t show that she was pleased, and I knew it was the opposite. But she didn’t argue either because she also knew it was my father’s order, and it was my duty. She
Maeve’s POV I couldn’t get Isabelle’s words out of my head. Xaden was doing this because of the baby… Could he really be coupling with Mia because of the negative test results? I made sure to secure the soonest appointment as I could, which will be in a couple of days. I was riddled with anx
My stomach sank from his words; so even Kenneth noticed this as well? Was something truly gong on between Xaden and Mia? “It’s just a bump in the road,” I murmured. “I’m sure we will get back to our normalcy soon enough. Once Princess Mia marries Prince Lucas and all.” Kenneth raised his brows.
Xaden’s POV My heart sank hearing Mia’s voice on the other end. She sounded so distraught and if she wasn’t happy, it could mean a war against the Kingdom. I needed to go there and make sure she was okay. “Yeah, I’ll be right there, Mia,” I assured. “Just hold on.” I hung up the phone and turn
I swallowed. ‘Yes, sir,” I said. “Let me just freshen up upstairs then. Have you seen my phone?” I asked both my father and Mia. Mia shook her head. No, I haven’t seen it at all,” she said innocently. I nodded and sighed. “Father, can you get a message to Maeve and tell her not to worry ab
Maeve’s POV I stared at Xaden with my mouth hanging open. His words were like a slap in the face. It stung and I couldn’t help but stagger backwards a little. He didn’t look like he regretted what he had said, and I wasn’t sure what to make of the situation. How could it be that his mother, Char
“Xaden, can’t you hear me? I’m here with your baby! Why won’t you look at me!” I tried once again. But like the other times, I was left ignored and incredibly confused. He disappeared through the forest, leaving me behind without a single word or looking in my direction. He couldn’t see either of
A smile spread across my face as I read the paper and then I quickly rushed out of the room and back into the living room. Maggie was still seated on the couch, staring at the door with a worried expression, but she jumped when I ran into the room. “The results, Maggie,” I said, showing them to he
Maeve’s POV Could I truly be losing Xaden? The thought didn’t sit right in my belly. I couldn’t fathom the thought of him hating me so much that he couldn’t even spend 5 minutes talking to me. One minute he seemed like things were fine, and the next minute he was cold and distant. Charlotte kep
