ZANE’S POVThe reason I took out the goblet which was passed over to me by my father and wanted to use it for the spell was that I thought if we used it to do the spell, it would bring good luck.After all, the goblet was an ancient artifact and my father told me stories about how the moon goddess's first creation had a drink with the moon goddess using this goblet gifted to him by the moon goddess.When Khal began coughing, I knew he was avoiding being the first whose blood would be drawn.I appreciated their efforts of agreeing to follow me to search for the orb.If it were another ambitious Beta and Gamma, they would be happy to watch me die without any child to succeed me.Which would have made it easy for them to take over the Alpha position.But Damien and Khal were supportive of me since they found out about the dying part of my curse.“You don’t need to put on a show Khal. I was going to be the first anyway,” I said which made Khal stop coughing as a look of embarrassment made
MAEVE’S POVI was angry at the fact that Alpha Zane avoided looking at me. He made it seem as though they were going to die or something.And it made me fucking scared. I didn’t want to lose him. I wanted us to be together even after death.That was why when we got to his room, I couldn’t hold back my emotions anymore.I didn’t know what he was expecting me to show him, but he was surprised when I crushed his lips with mine.This was what I wanted to show him. How much I yearned for him. How much I loved him. He froze for a few seconds as though he didn’t expect me to kiss him but he eventually grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him.The kiss was rough and demanding due to how we poured our unsaid words and emotions into the kiss.He tasted like the scrambled egg we just had for breakfast. The fear and uncertainty of whether or not Alpha Zane would succeed made me aroused.Since I couldn't stop him from going because his mind was already made up and it would have also been self
ZANE’S POVPatricia walked into the room just when Maeve wanted to walk out. I was nervous but I couldn’t back off now. Maeve looked uneasy when Patricia came into the room without even waiting for our response to invite her into the room.But out all the time that Patricia could have wanted to see me why now? Well, whatever it was, it would have to wait till I successfully made it back from the Crescent moon pack with the Orb.“What is the problem, Pat? And how many have I told you to always knock and wait for my response before you come into my room?” I asked her and when we made eye contact.There was a look in her eye I couldn't fathom.“I would like to speak to you about something really important,” She said calmly, which was unlike her.All my life that I grew up with Patricia, she was always a rebellious and arrogant girl, except whenever she was with my parents, and seeing her calmly speaking to me right now puzzled me.“Uhm…Can it wait till I am back? I have somewhere really
MAEVE’S POVWhen we pulled onto the road heading to my mom’s place to get a few things before we headed to Waning Moon Pack, I couldn’t help but think of Alpha Zane and the others.I prayed to the moon goddess to keep them safe and bring them back to us unharmed.“You should stop being worried or something might truly happen to them,” Maggie said with a chuckle but her eyes were still on the road.“Do you think Alpha Zane and I can ever surpass the ill fate that awaits our love?” I asked Maggie who looked relaxed despite everything that was happening.“Of course, I am sure you both will have a happy ending. Just believe in yourselves,” Maggie encouraged me with a small smile.The genesis of Alpha Zane’s curse was the person who cursed the Whitlocks.I wish I could see the person, so I could ask what the Whitlocks could have done to receive such a cruel curse.“Do you by any chance know when the Whitlock curse began?” I asked Maggie.“Well, no one ever talked about it due to fear since
ZANE’S POVI sat down patiently waiting for Maeve to reply to my text while Damien and Khal continued to debate on who would act the passed-out part.“If you are this tensed, then how do you expect Damien and I to be?” Khal asked me all of a sudden bringing my attention back to them“Well… It’s just that Maeve hasn’t replied to my text and it’s making me worried,” I answered, making Khal and Damien give me a teasing look.I rolled my eyes knowing what would happen next as I inwardly counted one to three.“You’re such a lover boy,” Khal was the first to tease me making me glare at him.I couldn’t help but think that his Character and Charlotte’s matched each other. Maybe that was the moon goddess who made them mates.“I thought you said that you both can read each other's thoughts and feelings. If you don’t feel anything out of the usual, then that means you’re just been worried for nothing,” Damien said with his eyes still on the road and his face void of any emotions.I thought abo
MAEVE’S POVI felt Alpha Zane’s uncertainty and fear exactly the moment I got his message and I wished I could do something to take his fears away.Before I opened the text messages I got from Charlotte and Alpha Zane, I took some time to ponder on whether I should block Alpha Zane from getting access to my thoughts.I know we promised each other that neither of us would do that, but I wasn't sure I could hold back myself from thinking about what Patricia did any longer.I knew if I thought about it, he would know immediately and I didn't want anything to distract him.Therefore, I decided to block him from my thoughts hoping he wouldn’t have the time to notice.After that, I opened Alpha Zane’s message first and read through it with a smile on my face as I read it.He was asking me how we were doing and if we had arrived Waning Moon pack.After I replied to him telling him that everything was fine and we hadn’t arrived yet, I then opened Charlotte’s message and saw that she was inform
MAEVE’S POVI rushed to Maggie’s passed-out body on the floor while Ariana stood frozen on the spot where she stood and looked at us with shock.“Call an ambulance or a pack healer. Just do something!!” I yelled in exasperation and then began tapping Maggie severally but I didn't get a response which made me become more scared.Did it mean that since Maggie could feel what Alpha Zane, Khal, and Damien could feel, does this mean they were currently in this state too?I began to panic while Ariana took out her phone but her hands continuously kept trembling.Maggie’s phone began to ring and I took out her phone relieved to see that it was Alpha Kelvin who was calling her.I picked up the call and told him what was happening and where we were.I hadn’t even ended the call before I saw him running to us.“What happened to her?” He asked with trembling lips as he stuttered when he joined me in a kneeling position in front of Maggie’s body.Even a child would have clearly seen that he was s
ZANE’S POVTo say I was shocked when this dude standing in front said he was Maeve’s brother would be an understatement.I was utterly dumbfounded as Khal, Damien and I looked at ourselves while the dude just stood in front of us smiling.“Surprised right?” He asked me and then laughed out loud.At that moment, it was difficult to read him because it seemed like he was laughing out of amusement and I wondered what was amusing.“How can you say you are Maeve’s brother? You look younger than her and the time of the fight happened when she was just a child,” Damien spelled out, making Khal and I nod our heads in agreement.“All these years we have been living in hiding. You all thought you wiped the whole Crescent Moon pack but how does it feel now to realize we survived?” Billy asked us with a calm look on his face even though his brows were now raised.How they were still alive was still a mystery to me.“How did you get the Orb?” I asked him instead of answering his question.He looke
