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

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
Kenneth was glad that he made the decision to keep his packhouse gammas away from the dungeon. None of them knew where the hidden underground dungeon was, which meant they couldn’t give up their location. However, he knew they’d be able to track his scent if he were to go straight to the dungeon, es
“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

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

“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
