MAEVE’S POVWhile Alpha Zane and I were on our way to the hospital to check on Maggie and Alpha Kelvin, I was busy thinking about why Alpha Zane was so protective of the keys to his room. It was as though he was hiding something. But what could that possibly be? Or was it just my paranoia?Also, I couldn’t stop thinking about what would happen if Billy and Rand were caught by Alpha William’s security guards and soldiers.I quickly pushed the thought away from my mind trying to stay positive that they would return to us safely.The sound of Alpha Zane’s phone ringing brought me back from my train of thought.“It’s Damien,” He mouthed to me before he picked up the call.Damien. Damien the asshole, Damien the confused being. When Charlotte told me he was fucking Patricia in recent days, I was flabbergasted.Wasn’t it the same Damien who professed his love for me?Maybe he wasn’t as obsessed with me as thought or maybe he wasn’t in love with me at all.I wondered how he could smile with
MAEVE’S POVI walked in silence to the hospital and when I got into Maggie’s room, I was sad when I saw so many wires connected into her veins.She was using oxygen to stay alive. What would happen if Aradia chose to retaliate against us for what we did to her and cut the oxygen supply?I shook the negative thought from my head as I walked closer to her and sat in the chair that was kept beside where she lay motionless with her eyes closed.I guess this was where Alpha Kelvin sat throughout his stay with her. I sighed.Would their lives have been less dramatic and dangerous had it been they didn’t cross paths with us?Deep down I knew that there was a high chance things wouldn’t have turned out like this for them if they didn’t know Zane and I.Seeing Maggie in this condition was depressing.“Why would you do something so stupid? Why would you choose to leave me? I know you did it for me and I’m happy that you’re willing to help but you should have told me the magic had a price!!! We
ZANE’S POVThe sound of my door forcefully being opened woke me up from sleep.I groaned because I hadn't gotten enough sleep yet.“They are back!!!! They fucking came back safely,” Maeve jumped happily and squealed.“Really?” I yawned and looked at her with sleepy eyes.“Who is back?” I asked, making her pause to look at me as though I was insane.“Billy and Rand!!!” She began jubilating again and I shot up into a sitting position on the bed when the words really sank into my head.I didn't expect that they would be back so early. My heart was filled with relief that they were back safely but at the same time I was also worried.“Thank the goddess,” I let out a breath I never knew I was holding and placed my plan on my chest.“We should go check on them now,” She grinned.I was still feeling sleepy but I didn't want to turn down her request and make it feel like I wasn't happy that her brother came back alive and safe.“Alright then. Is it daytime now?” I asked her and yawned afterwar
ZANE’S POV“What’s up?” I asked Damien the moment I picked up his call.“I have bad news,” Damien sounded scared and I sighed.I had a feeling that something like this would happen.But all that mattered was what the bad news was about.Was it going to be too difficult to handle?“There was nothing I could do or say to oppose them because it was just me and Asher against the other Alpha’s” Damien added when he noticed that I had been silent.“What happened in the meeting?”I asked him. By now Billy and Rand were seated on the sofa in my room patiently waiting for me to be done with the call and tell them what was going on.Maeve on the other hand was signaling for me to put the call on loudspeaker but I wasn't sure that would be a good idea.So I pretended not to understand her hand gestures or lip movements.Before I could comprehend, Maeve snatched the phone from my hand and clicked the loudspeaker icon on my phone, making Damien's voice boom through the speakers of my phone.“They
MAEVE’S POVI could see the anxiousness on Alpha Zane’s face during Damien’s call.But what I didn't expect was Billy’s confidence and also him making plans without telling us.But after he explained everything, I couldn't remain angry at him because I could see that he was trying to make up for lost time.While they were making their plans, I was busy thinking of ways to make Alpha William’s death a memorable one.“I suggest a date should be scheduled for his death and a personal invitation should be sent to anyone who is a victim of his sexual assault or any of his unjust acts. That way everyone would watch him die a shameful death by hanging,” My wolf, Selena suggested.“That would be an easy death. I want him to feel excruciating pain and end up begging us to kill him. He deserves it and more,” I answered her.“Ouu!!!! Yes, your wickedness,” She teased.I still didn’t understand why she was silent all that while. Could it have been because of Aradia?“Why did you go mute on me?” I
ZANE’S POVWhen I placed my hands on Maeve’s baby bump, I felt the baby in her belly kick.It was the most wonderful thing I had ever experienced and it made tears brim to my eyes more.Hearing that the other packs were going to attack Crescent Moon tomorrow, I couldn’t help but worry.Thoughts like, what if our plans fail, what if we become outnumbered, what if the other Alpha’s still side with Alpha William due to fear?All these questions were running wild in my head and most of all the fact that my time was running up, made matters worse.There was one month left until my birthday. The day I would die by the hand of the woman I love more than life itself.Life was cruel to me.I was scared that if at all we were able to succeed tomorrow, we might not be able to find a way to lift my curse within the time I had left.“Our child is sure going to be strong,” I smiled as I looked at Maeve's baby bump.“Of course,” Maeve sniffed.I never knew she was such an emotional person, I didn’t
ZANE’S POVWhen Rand told me how his Mom sent him to me and nervously ended it with a but.I began to dread his response because I knew that for him to look that nervous, whatever he would say next wouldn't bode well with me.“But what?” I still asked anyway because at that point I was desperate for a way out.I didn't mind whatever the consequences as long as the solution would get me through tomorrow to get my position, I was willing to take any risk.“Damn the consequences, we would search for a solution to the consequences after we successfully get through tomorrow,” Atlas my wolf urged me and I agreed with him.“The thing is, you would be strong and agile for only two hours. So whatever you have to do, you have just two hours to get it done,” He explained.“Is that it?” I asked him with relief slowly washing away my dread and anxiety but his response made my relief vanish immediately, leaving my dread and anxiety to take over again.“No, I haven't finished my explanation yet. The
MAEVE’S POVI was so pissed when Alpha Zane called me stubborn. I couldn’t even believe he could call me that in such a situation that we were in.I felt as though I was the only one who cared about his death, I felt as though I was the one who didn't want to give up on him.In summary, I felt like I was wasting my time and energy on him.That's why I left his room and went to mine. I saw Rand when I left the room but I was too angry to even stop to talk to him.How could Alpha Zane even say that I should kill him?Was he listening to himself speak at all?I would rather wait for death to come for me than use my hands to kill him and my decision was final.There was nothing anyone would do to make me change my mind.As for my unborn child, I knew he or she would understand why I made this decision for both of us.I angrily stormed into my room, dressed up, and headed to the Crescent Moon pack’s kitchen.Whenever I am angry, I always cook because it puts my mind at ease.I mean how cou
