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

“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
“And why didn’t you?” King Arlon asked. “Because she told me about the prophecy,” Butron said as he pulled himself to his feet. “I thought she would be the one to birth the Enigma, so I got her pregnant.” “But she didn’t,” I said, folding my arms across my chest. “No, she didn’t,” Burton said
“What?” I asked, my voice coming out barely audible. “I… I don’t understand.”“I’m not sure how much you already know about us, but we are the remaining members of the Red Oak Tribe.”My mouth nearly fell to the ground at her reveal. I stared around her face, the shock nearly consuming me. The Red O
Maeve’s POV“I think she’s waking up.”“She looks so much like Esmeralda, it’s crazy.”“Sssh, give her some space.” I woke to the sound of murmurs all around me, mostly women, but I could feel the presence of a man or two as well. The smell of a burning fire invaded my nose, and I felt the warm am
I glared, my wolf surging forward and an intimidating manner, making the man before me flinch. He was bound to a chair with silver cuffs, making him weak and impossible to shift into his wolf.“Then why did I find these photographs in your belongings?” I asked, holding up a few photos of the royal f

“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

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
