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
“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
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
