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
I thought she was going to refuse me again and turn me away, but to my surprise, she unlocked the door and pushed it open, the door chime jingling softly from the motion. “Get in,” she ordered, glancing around to make sure no one else could see me entering her shop. I stepped into the shop, and
Xaden’s POV “What?” I gasped. “Are you saying Alpha Burton killed Maeve’s mother??” Orenda seemed a bit dazed and exhausted. She must have had some kind of vision because her eyes were still a bit dilated. I wasn’t sure if I believed in this whole psychic thing, but I do believe that something j
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

Third Person POVMaeve had completely passed out; her heart rate had decreased significantly, and her breathing was shallow. She was too weak to have given birth to an Enigma without consequences to her own health. Eric knew this and couldn’t believe what was happening.The woman tried hard to clean
