MAEVE’S POVSitting in front of us and pretending to be the seer when we first came in was Aradia.Immediately the Seer who was standing by the door saw Aradia, she ran out.It was then that the last memory I had forgotten on the night of my Luna ceremony came to my head and I vividly remembered seeing Aradia there.What was her gain in toying with our emotions?For a moment before, I used to think that she was banished unjustly and the stories we heard about her were all lies but now I know better.Her calm demeanor which she had before was totally gone and replaced with contempt, hate, disdain, and pure hatred.The aura which exuded from her was also purely evil and the hate in her eyes was unimaginable.I would be lying if I said seeing her true colors or should I say, seeing her true self wasn’t scary.It was scary as hell.“It was you. That night in the woods, you were there with Anna. You were the one she was working with,” I said almost in a whisper as I pointed at her and a sm
ZANE’S POVHearing all that Aradia said made me reminisce about when I would pass my dad and Mom’s bedroom and hear my mom crying while saying words I couldn't fathom to my dad.But whenever they were in the company of others, they would act as though nothing was happening.They also tried their best to bring Patricia and I up in the best and moral way possible.It was difficult turning a blind eye to the fact that all wasn’t well with my parent’s marriage back then. Something I had forgotten about until now.That was why I decided to treat my future mate better whenever the time came.And so far I was trying my best to do just that.But hearing what Aradia said my Dad did to her.I wasn’t sure if I should believe her because my dad whom I knew wasn’t that callous.I didn't know the main reason why my parents were having issues when I was a child.I wasn't sure if my dad used to beat my mom and that was why she was always crying whenever I passed their room.He was always calm and a m
MAEVE’S POVAll the while I was weeping back at the Seer's house, it was because I didn't know what else to do.It was as though no matter how Alpha Zane and I tried to fight for our love, we were doomed to still fail.But waking up now, it was as though something that had changed.All the trepidation I had felt before I passed out was almost gone and replaced by a new feeling I couldn't quite explain.And when Alpha Zane’s skin made contact with mine, when he wanted to ask me if I was okay, I felt repulsed by his touch.Was I feeling repulsed when he asked out of sheer concern?I shoved the feelings aside thinking that it was a normal side effect of waking up from an unconscious state.When he was apologizing to the others for troubling them, a sudden urge overcame me and before I could comprehend it, I had already pounced on Alpha Zane and tried to rip his heart out.But thanks to the others in the room who were quick to subdue me, I didn't get to do what I would regret.The scared
ZANE’S POVI was shocked when I saw what Maeve tried to do.For a moment I froze in thoughts as I looked at the contempt in her eyes when she tried to claw her way into my heart.She looked very different as though something had possessed her.It had to be that, because my Maeve would never attempt to kill me.Was it a crime that I was born into the Whitlock family?For a moment I began to think about what my life would be like if I wasn't born into the family of the Alpha King and Maeve wasn’t born into the family of the Alpha of Crescent Moon pack.Maybe, just maybe we would have been living happily and content with each other.By the time I snapped out of my thoughts, Maeve was already running out of the room.I called out to her but she didn’t respond, rather she just ran out of the room.I knew she was devastated and it hurt me to see her that way.I also knew that she would begin overthinking again.That was why I got down from bed and wanted to chase after her but an excruciati
MAEVE’S POV“To be honest I have been depressed these past few months. But I tried my best to hold it all in because we had a lot of problems to deal with,” Damien finally admitted with a sad smile on his face.Afterward, he took another sip of his alcohol and looked to the skies.I had a feeling he was opening up to me to make me feel that I wasn't the only one not feeling okay.“Would you mind sharing what's bothering you with me? You’ll feel better after you let it all out, trust me. Plus, I’m very good at keeping secrets,” I slurred and wagged my brows playfully at him.I saw a genuine smile make its way to his face and if I'm being sincere this was the first time in a long while I had seen him smile genuinely.I was glad he did, because after everything we had all been through he deserved it.“There is this girl I like but…” He wanted to continue but I interrupted him.“Wow!!!! You like a girl? What is her name? Which pack is she from? Do we know her?” I asked him with widened
MAEVE’S POVHere I was lying on my bed and still staying in the guest room.It had been two days since I went to Alpha Zane that night.We had been talking through text messages and video calls.We decided it would be better this way since he and I couldn't stay in the same room without me wanting to kill him.He even got to monitor my moving into the pack house through video call. He called me the entire time and didn’t want to miss any minute of it.By now we had known that we had blocked each other from our thoughts but I couldn't bring myself to ask him why he did it.This was because I didn't want us to read each other's thoughts again. After all, if he had done so, he would have definitely found out Damien’s feelings.I hadn’t gotten over my shock and surprise at how he had been harboring feelings for me all these while without me noticing it.I hadn’t gotten to talk to Maggie physically after she bled through her nose while reviving Alpha Zane.We only talked through text mess
MAEVE’S POV“I need to inform Alpha Zane about this recent development. For all we know they may be planning something that isn't good,” Damien said and the others agreed with him.I didn’t want them bothering Alpha Zane about this because I knew that his declining health condition we had been trying to hide would be exposed if Damien told him about it.I knew that Alpha Zane would be angry and end up showing up in front of the Alphas in his current state.“No. Don’t tell him about this. I’ll handle this,” I stopped Damien just when he was about to turn around and head to Alpha Zane’s room.They all looked at me with creased brows and Khal was the one who ended up speaking.“How do you mean we should leave it to you? A Luna has never entered into a meeting of the Alpha before,” Khal tried to make me see reasons but I refused to accept.This was the 21st century for crying out loud and all these barbaric traditions needed to stop.Maybe the moon goddess put me in this position for tha
MAEVE’S POVWhy would Damien do such a thing to Alpha Zane? Or was it because?Was he angry that Alpha Zane had me and he didn’t?I was confused as I looked at Damien who now had a sinister look on his face.He looked nothing like the Damien we all knew.“You’re joking, right? Because this is no time for jokes Damien,” I said to him but instead, he scoffed.I was taken aback when he did that because I didn't expect him to.Alpha Zane and everyone present there were also astonished when he did that too.“Do I look like I’m joking? Do you know how difficult it has been staying under Zane’s shadow?” He asked me rhetorically.All I saw in his eyes was hatred as he turned to look at Alpha Zane who hadn’t yet said anything.“It’s high time I step out of his shadow and walk into the limelight. I’m sorry Maeve but I can’t miss this golden opportunity,” He said.“Haven’t I been good to you? We are friends remember? So why have you betrayed me this way?” Alpha Zane asked him and I could see the
