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
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
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 For a moment, I wasn’t sure what to do. I stared at my fiancé telling another woman that he would only have a child out of royal duty. He sounded almost cold and calculating as he spoke. Mia nodded along with each word he said, a frown marring her lips and a small crease between her pe
I was completely alone, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. Hours had gone by, and I remained barricaded in my bedroom, unable to move from the bed. There was a light knock on the door, and I knew that it had to be Maggie with my food. “Miss Maeve, you should eat something,” she said from
Xaden’s POV The more I spoke to Princess Mia the more bored I got. Sure, she was the princess of the Vixen territory, and she was a pretty badass warrior, but there weren’t many more interesting things about her. She was pretty basic, and the conversation became dull. The moment she started to a
“Then what exactly were you trying to do exactly?” I asked him. “You didn’t really try to woo her now, did you?” “No…” he murmured, shuffling in his shoes. “I didn’t and that’s the reason I’m sorry. You have to pick up the slack because of me. Now she’s set to marry you…” “You knew about this?”
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
