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
Maeve’s POV I wasn’t sure how long I had been here for. There was no sense of time where I was. But it felt as if days had passed. Occasionally, a guard would come and give me a tray of food and some water. I refused to eat anything they had given me though; I wasn’t sure what they would put insid
Kenneth nodded. “Do what you must,” he murmured. “How is her nutrition? Has she been eating?” The doctor asked, still looking up at Kenneth. “No, she hasn’t,” he muttered. “Or drinking.” “It’s going to kill the baby if she doesn’t eat and drink something,” she explained, making my heart sque
Xaden’s POV My head was whirling by the time we left Alpha Burton’s house. My father told him that we would deal with him later, for right now, we needed to find Maeve. It wasn’t often that my father and I agreed on something… but in this case, we were both completely on the same page. Maeve was
“We don’t blame you, Nicholas,” My father surprised me by saying. “Speak for yourself,” I nearly growled but one look from my father made me stand down immediately. “You’ve been a loyal commander for a long time. You aren’t to blame here,” my father continued, putting a hand on his shoulder. N
Xaden’s POV “I thought you said you could find the underground dungeon easily?” I asked, feeling frustrated as I glared at Princess Mia. “We’ve been here for hours with no progress.” “And none of the guards know where the dungeon is…” Nicholas muttered, folding his arms across his chest. “The Ki
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
Maeve’s POV“You’re saying my father was trying to breed for an Enigma like Burton was?” Xaden asked, his nose flaring as he thought about his father’s deceit. “You’re saying he had an affair?”I nodded, putting my hand on his arm and giving him a gentle squeeze.“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” I
Nicholas nodded; his dark eyes looked almost penetrating.“Yes, Your Majesty,” Nicholas said before pushing off the wall and walking out the door.“It’s late, I think Maeve could use some rest,” Xaden suggested, clearly suggesting that he wanted his family to leave. Truth be told, as much as I enjoy
Xaden’s POVIt only took seconds; I lost control of my wolf, and it took seconds for him to kill every single officer in the room. By the time he was finished and gave control back to me, I was drenched in blood. Maeve stood in front of the examination table, trembling as she struggled to put her cl
Anger boiled through me, and it took everything I had not to punch a hole in the wall. They were searching my mate and making sure she wasn’t a threat? She was a fucking victim and should be treated with more respect.“If they touched her…” I said, my anger reaching a point that I felt out of contro
