“That’s kind of you, but not necessary,” I told him, remembering that the last pristine doctor he set me up with gave a false paternity test and pretty much ruined my life. If it weren’t for that one test, Xaden wouldn’t have strayed to another. “I have a really good doctor that I trust.” Kenneth
Maeve’s POV What was I doing? I shouldn’t have left like I did. I was carrying Xaden’s baby, and I couldn’t even stick around to talk to him. I went right into running away. I kept telling myself that I just needed to take some space and clear my head. But truth be told, I wasn’t sure when I wa
I grabbed the doorknob and pulled it open, only to be faced with those guards again. “The Alpha wanted us to escort you to the dining hall for dinner,” One of them told me. I nibbled on my lower lip and nodded. I didn’t have anything to change into, so I guess the clothing I was wearing would ha
Maeve’s POV I couldn’t believe it… I stared up at him in shock, my mouth nearly on the ground. “Maeve…” Nicholas said, his eyes dark and narrowed in my direction as he stared between Alpha Kenneth and me. “What are you doing here?” He asked, his eyes finally settling on me. “She’s my guest,” K
My cheeks burned with embarrassment as I stared down at the ground. Nicholas was my friend… at least I think he was. In the short amount of time, I knew him, he never gave me a reason to not trust him. “It’s not Burke,” I said, my voice coming out as barely a whisper. He lifted his gaze to look
Xaden’s POV My plan was to return home and speak with Maeve, but by the time I left the palace, it was late. I knew she would be sleeping, and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to sleep beside her tonight without waking her. Instead of going home, I decided to just take a walk around the kingdom and think
I smiled at her. “They are perfect,” I breathed. I took out my wallet and slid my credit card across the counter for her. “Just charge them on this card.” She nodded and took the card, swiping it through her machine. A moment later, she was handing me the card back along with the receipt to sign
Xaden’s POV Realization flashed through Maggie’s eyes, and she let out a deep breath. “You knew about this?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. “For how long did you know, Maggie?” She looked startled by my question, and I realized I was raising my voice. I was upset and worried and I was taki
I knelt beside him; we were in our own little bubble. Nothing could touch us as long as my shield was up and keeping us protected. Even as the world burned around us, it all faded away as I wrapped my arms around him, crying into his chest and begging for him to be okay. He looked so broken and vuln
Maeve’s POV“No…” I whispered, staring up at him. “H…how could you?”“It wasn’t personal, Maeve. You will never be in danger, as long as you are carrying that Enigma. But this is the reality of the situation. We didn’t start this war… but we are finishing it,” Eric said, his eyes narrowed as he star
“Miss Maeve!” I heard someone saying from nearby and telling from the tone, it wasn’t the first time they were trying to get my attention.I turned to see one of the Gamma warriors standing at the doorway of King Arlan’s office.“I need to round up all the women and children. You need to come with m
Maeve’s POV“That book has been locked away, there’s no way she has the book,” Arlan said, narrowing his eyes at me. “It’s not possible.”I nibbled on my lower lip.“It is if I was the one who gave it to her,” I admitted softly.“You did what??’ He asked, his tone rising and I could hear the death i
He was seated at his desk alone, typing something on his computer. He looked tired and his darkened expression remained on his face as I stepped into the office. He looked up at me, narrowing his eyes.“What can I do for you?” He asked.I kept my distance from him, still not trusting him.There was
Maeve’s POVHolding the spellbook in my hands, I could feel the power radiating off it. It was amazing that I couldn’t feel the power until the safe was open, but now I’m staring down at it, my heart pounding wildly in my chest. This spellbook once belonged to my mother and it was a book that only a
“Has he ever told you what was inside of it?” I asked.“Of course not; he had always been protective of that thing,” Char said, shaking her head. “I don’t know what could be inside that would give him such a reaction, but I barely stepped foot in the library since then.” She studied me for a long wh
Maeve’s POV2 weeks later. “And you haven’t spoken to him?” I asked, my eyes wide as I stared at Charlotte across the small table in the queen’s garden. She grabbed her teacup and brought it to her lips, taking a small sip. Her eyes were clouded with the emotions she was trying desperately to keep
“I don’t like the idea of you helping them, but I’m not going to stop you,” he finally said after a long pause.I wrapped my arms around him, pressing my lips to him and capturing him in a deep and penetrating kiss. I moaned against his lips as his tongue invaded my mouth and twirled around my tongu
