“I chased after a man I knew was mated and expecting a baby. That’s not who I am. What’s wrong with me?” Mia asked more to herself than to Lucas. Lucas sighed and sat beside her on the bench, staring down at his hands as if he expected the answers to her questions to be written on them. “Sometim
Third Person POV “What am I supposed to do?” Mia asked, peeking over at Lucas as their laughter died. “This is my fault, and I want to fix it.” “Well, you can start by helping us search for Maeve,” Lucas suggested. “I’m sure they could use your help.” Mia nibbled on her lower lip as nerves att
I hoped he would forgive me for leaving so suddenly. I opened the bedroom door and froze when I saw the guards at the door. They weren’t there when Nicholas walked me to the room last night. When did they get here? I stared at the two of them and they looked down at me. “I want to speak wit
“He’s a great friend,” I replied. “I’m glad to be able to know him. I’m still thrown over the fact that he’s your son. I honestly had no idea.” Kenneth nodded as he stared at me thoughtfully. “He’s a good man,” Kenneth said, his eyes never leaving mine. “He would make a suitable mate and father.
Third Person POV In Kenneth’s mind, he was hoping that Maeve would willingly want to stay in his pack. He hoped that she would see on her own that Prince Xaden didn’t deserve her and the one that was there for her was none other than Nicholas. However, he could see in her eyes that she was determi
She nodded. “Okay?” She urged. “I need you to throw them off her scent,” he continued. He reached into his pocket and grabbed Maeve’s sock. He managed to swipe it off her after she passed out in his office. “Send them on a wild goose chase.” Victora stared wide-eyed at the sock and then back u
Xaden’s POV The longer we searched, the more anxious I was getting. My wolf was going crazy not knowing where our mate was. It seemed as if we were going in circles. One minute, I would pick up her scent in a certain area, and then the next minute, it would go away and return to a different area.
She never told anyone that this necklace belonged to her birth mother. The only thing I truly knew about Maeve’s history was the fact that Alpha Burton had an affair a long time ago and her birth mother died, leaving her the necklace. But I was the only one who knew that information. It seemed that
“He had an affair with one of the witches with the Enigma gene,” Erik whispered, already knowing the answer but he needed ot hear the confirmation.Iris nodded sadly.“He met your mother, Carla,” she continued. “For a long time, they were a wildly known tribe because of their abilities to birth Enig
Third Person POV“How about I make us some tea,” Iris suggested as she stood to her feet.“I’d like some answers,” Erik said, stopping her from leaving the room.Iris sighed and he could see the compassion in her eyes; she was feeling guilty about something. Maybe from keeping this secret from him f
“Oh,” she gasped. “I didn’t see you there,” she said, peeking up at him through her lashes. “Are you okay?”“I was going to ask you the same question,” Eric said, clutching his bag tightly as he walked closer to her. “Why do you look as though you’ve seen a ghost?”Her cheeks turned pink, and she ni
Third Person POVHenry stepped into the kitchen, his eyes scanning the area. The chefs were hard at work, preparing a family meal per the King’s orders. It smelled delicious, and Henry’s stomach immediately started to rumble.He glanced at his watch; he only had a few minutes before he needed to arr
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
