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
MAEVE’S POV“We need to do something. Anything!! Please. We shouldn’t just stay and watch Alpha Zane walking to his death,” I panicked and Charlotte held my hands.“I'm afraid that at this point there is nothing else we can do. Well, except the moon goddess performs a miracle,” Alpha Kelvin shrugged with a sad look on his face.But I wasn’t gonna allow it to happen. I wasn’t going to sit back and not do anything.I wanted to go stand a safe distance away from Alpha Zane before I said what I was about today but Charlotte and Maggie held me back.And it wasn’t helping that the Arena had stadium seating. If not, I would have yanked their hands away from me and run straight to where the Alpha sat.But that would have met me jumping seats which eventually would have led to breaking a bone or two.“Let me fight in place of my mate,” I yelled loud enough for everyone to hear and watched Damien let outburst of wicked laughter.While the rest looked at me as though I was slowly going insane.“
MAEVE’S POVThe last thing I remembered was the mortuary attendant, injecting me with an unknown fluid which knocked me out immediately.And when I opened my eyes again, I saw someone who looked like me. But this person was like a male version of myself.Although the resemblance wasn't 100%, it was at least 89% and that was a big deal.Was my mind playing tricks with or was this how Hades wanted to punish me?The guy who looked like me walked to me and began waving his palm above my eyes to confirm if I was really awake.But I still laid stiff on the bed and just my eyes were opened.It was when I began to feel the urge to kill that I realized that maybe I was alive.But I pushed the thoughts aside because there was no way I could feel that urge anymore.Not when the person who made me feel the urge in the first place was now dead.“Except…” I mumbled and my brows creased before I jolted up into a sitting position on the bed I was lying on.Sitting in the wheelchair in front of me wa
ZANE’S POVSeeing that Maeve was finally awake made me relieved.When she was taking longer to wake up even after I had woken up, I began to panic.I thought that the mortuary attendants might have given her an overdose of the injection.But seeing her awake now eased my heart.I knew that she'd be mad at me when she found out the truth but thanks to her urge, she didn’t think about what I said till I left the room.So far, Billy has been nice to us.He stayed with me all through the night when Maeve and I were brought in.I didn’t have anywhere else to go seeing that all the Alphas had turned against me.And I couldn’t go to Alpha Kelvin or Alpha Asher’s pack because I didn’t want to stir up trouble for them.Then I thought about where we could possibly go and plan our next move.It was then that Crescent Moon pack came to my mind.I knew that Billy would never reject us because Maeve was his sister and I was her mate.That is why when Damien came to tell me that Alphas called for a m
