His eyes were dark and filled with lust as he nipped at my bottom lip. “Lie down,” he ordered. “But—” “We’ll talk after… but for now, lie down,” he repeated, his tone sultry and sending my heart into a rapid beat of flutters. I did as he said, the pain in my body was almost completely gone, or
Maeve’s POV Once I was dressed, it was like a tornado of people flooding into the room. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed by the attention, but after a while, I started to relax. The first person who ran to me and wrapped her arms around me was Charlotte. She had tears in her eyes, and she hugged
Xaden hugged me even tighter and kissed the top of my head. “It’s okay,” he whispered. “She can’t hurt you anymore. I won’t let that happen.” “What about Henry?” I asked. “He’s not going to be happy that his wife is in a dungeon. I’m assuming that’s where she is.” Xaden nodded. “That’s where
Maeve POV I never thought I would lose my V-card on such an ordinary day… and with the most unexpected person. I had indeed fantasized about leaving my current pack, leaving behind my Alpha father, stepmother, and half-sister, and escaping this “family” that treated me like I was nothing but a s
Maeve POV None of these words could adequately describe what I felt at that moment. Had I heard him correctly? I… could go to Sarah’s party? “Why is she allowed to come?” Sarah whined. “It’s my birthday party!” Father approached the open car door and affectionately patted her decorated head.
Xaden POV “Take me home, please,” I sighed. “And don’t stop for anything.” My driver nodded. “Yes, Prince Xaden, sir.” It had been a long, long day… and I wanted nothing more than to go home and rest. I’d met with yet another Alpha’s daughter tonight. Hypothetically speaking, the girl was pe
Maeve POV The first thing I felt when I woke up was the most splitting headache of my life. Second, was an uncomfortable and unfamiliar soreness… down there. Resisting a groan, I knew I’d have some trouble walking. And lastly, I was in a bed that was not my own in a room I didn't recognize.
Xaden POV “Wake up, Your Highness.” That voice… I recognized that voice… and it was one I was not ready to hear. Frowning, I rolled onto my stomach, burrowing as deep into the bed as possible. It was none other than Burke, my Prime Beta—diligent and reliable as ever, having served alongside me f
Xaden hugged me even tighter and kissed the top of my head. “It’s okay,” he whispered. “She can’t hurt you anymore. I won’t let that happen.” “What about Henry?” I asked. “He’s not going to be happy that his wife is in a dungeon. I’m assuming that’s where she is.” Xaden nodded. “That’s where

Maeve’s POV “There has to be something more we can do,” Xaden demanded, and I could hear the anguish in his voice. “She’s been asleep for almost a week.” “Whatever happened to her, it took a lot of her strength.” I recognized the voice of the capital doctor. He was close by, as was Xaden. My eye
I could also hear Kenneth explaining to Maeve that in order for her to survive the birth of her baby, she would need to be marked and mated. He was going to use this video to make Nicholas mark Maeve to save her life. I glared at Nicholas, who was completely white in the face. I had never seen him
Xaden’s POV “This is it!” Emily said as she brushed the leaves and dirt off a wood latch. It blended in with the forest around it and was close to a giant oak tree. Nobody would have seen this unless they knew what they were looking for. But the blue dust was all over the latch, which meant this w
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
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
“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
