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
“That’s where things got blurry in the vision,” she admitted. “I’m not entirely sure what made Alpha Burton keep Maeve. But I do know that Maeve is more powerful than anyone ever thought. And that baby inside of her is even more powerful. If anyone were to find out about what that baby is…” “It co
“Yes, but we have gamma officers there that can take care of it,” he reminded Nicholas, his brows pinched together. “Are you sure it was the King’s orders?” Nicholas turned and growled at the officer. Sure, he didn’t actually speak to the King, it was Kenneth who mindlinked Nicholas to give him th
Maeve’s POV I stared up at Alpha Kenneth, my heart in my throat. I wrapped my arms around my body and shook my head as I took a step away from him. He had tricked me; this was all part of his plan. He only wanted to trap me; he never cared about me. How could I have been so stupid? “Alpha Ken
Just as I spoke the question, another figure appeared behind Kenneth and my eyes wandered to the new presence. I gasped at the sight…I should have known Isabelle had something to do with this as well. She had a smug smile on her lips as she stood beside her father, her phone in her hands, and poin
Xaden’s POV “I don’t know what Alpha Kenneth would want with her, but I did find out something today and she and our baby are put in the wrong hands… it could be bad,” I said, staring up at my father who narrowed his eyes at me. “What are you talking about?” My father asked. “She’s perfectly s
“Is Xaden on his way?” I asked, changing the subject and talking about something that really mattered… my mate.The guard stared at the ground for a moment, trying to figure out what to say which confused me. It was a simple answer that didn’t require much thought.“He’s been alerted of the situatio
Third Person POVRight after Eric’s meeting with the Bear King, one of his spies contacted him to tell him that he overheard Henry planning an attack on Maeve while Xaden was away. Eric sent his men to assess the situation, and they had just called him to tell him that they were able to stop the att
Leonora paled at the thought as she wrapped her arms around her body. The thought of someone she trusts working with the enemy gave her a creepy feeling like she was being watched at that very moment.“What are we to do?” She finally asked after a beat of silence.“Henry thinks we could pool togethe
Third Person POVAnger festered in Henry for the next couple of days. Maeve managed to avoid being poisoned, which meant her baby was still alive. Henry clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and trying to keep himself under control. He tried to ignore the fact that his life was falling apart. His w
After his talk with Iris, Erik sends a text to his spies, demanding that they find out everything they can and focus their search on Maeve. It was then that they found out the truth.Erik knew of Maeve’s kidnapping, and he knew of Alpha Kenneth’s involvement. But what he didn’t know was the reason b
Maeve’s POVEmbarrassing. That’s the only way I could describe this evening. I was mortified that I threw up in the royal palace. I spent so long in the bathroom, losing what was left in my belly. I couldn’t face anyone again. Xaden had sat with me as I vomited; he kept my hair out of the toilet, a
He kissed the insides of my legs, licking at the juices as they dripped down my thighs. He lifted me onto the counter, so I was holding on for dear life as he started his exploration of my body. It was strange because despite how self-conscious I was about my weight gain and overall appearance; it m
Maeve’s POVI splashed some water on my face and took a deep breath as I stared myself over in the mirror. I was huge and I felt uncomfortable. I was only about 5 months pregnant, and I looked as if I was 9 months pregnant.My stomach rumbled, reminding me that I hadn’t eaten yet and dinner was abou
“Except love and care about me,” Erik scowled.Iris gave him a sad smile and nodded slowly.“Indeed,” she agreed, sighing. “That letter contains a secret… something I wanted to keep from the King as long as possible. When he fired me, banishing me from the capital, my husband and I started a new lif
