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
MAEVE’S POVI was giddy with excitement to the extent that I video-called Alpha Zane immediately.I wanted to relay this good news to him immediately.This was the best news that we had gotten in a long while.It seemed like the moon goddess was on our side because my pregnancy meant that Alpha Zane could challenge Damien. And if he won, the other Alphas wouldn’t give the excuse of him not having an heir anymore.“What?!! Why are you looking that way? You’re supposed to be happy. You are going to be an uncle soon,” I whined delightfully as I tugged at Billy who gave a strained smile.“I think I'm going to be bad at being an uncle,” He answered and I just huffed and turned to look at my phone again.The doctor who broke the news of my pregnancy to me just stood by my side smiling at the way I reacted to the news.When Alpha Zane picked up the call and I told him of my pregnancy, he didn’t react like I thought that he would.Maybe it was because he thought I was joking and that got me
MAEVE’S POVWhen I asked Lilian how we would go about it, I expected her to stutter but she didn't and I was glad.This meant that she was confident about what she was saying and she was very sure of what she was talking about.I just hope that this time around all will go fine as she has said.“Like I said, I would need another Elder so that we can both combine our powers. We would also need black obsidian,” Lilian said.“Obsidian? What for?” I asked her and she chuckled.“Black obsidian helps in healing and protection. It keeps negative energy away,” Lilian explained, making my mouth form an O shape.“Okay, so how does it help suppress the urge??” I asked her and saw Billy roll his eyes.I knew that I was being too inquisitive but who would blame me? I wanted to be sure if I should really get my hopes up or not.“It will help repel the negative energy produced when the urge comes in. Therefore you won’t feel the urge. I’ll use the obsidian we find to make two bracelets. One for you
MAEVE’S POVBilly was silent for a while after I asked him how they survived.We just kept walking without having a clue of where he was taking me.“Magic of illusion and the sacrifice Lilian’s mom made for our pack. That is how we survived,” Billy finally answered me with a downcast look on his face.This was indeed a very sour topic for him. I didn’t want to ask him any other questions.I wanted the conversation about their survival to end.But there were still many things I was curious about and that curiosity got the best of me.“What sacrifice did Lilian’s mom make?” I asked him.“She single-handedly and continuously did the spell which made all the 11 packs think that we were right in front of them when in reality we had moved here to hide. She continued doing the spell for hours making the other packs think they were fighting us and due to the hours it lasted the magic slowly drained the life out of her,” Billy explained.It was a sad story indeed. The way he spoke made it look
MAEVE’S POV“What could that possibly be?” I asked Billy with creased brows.He sighed and the look on his face made me know that whatever he was going to tell me wasn’t going to be pleasant to my hearing at all.“It’s about his mother,” Billy said and looked at me as though he wanted to be sure that I wanted him to say more.Looking back to all these while Alpha Zane and I have been together. He never talked much about his family. Especially his mother.But who would blame him? It wasn’t like we had shared our childhood memories. We didn’t have the time to.The little moment we spent together, we wanted to cherish it. Also, since I met Alpha Zane, we had never had a whole day go by without having it in mind to solve one problem or the other.The more we solved, the more shocking problems arose.I didn’t know if it was okay for me to give Billy the go-ahead to tell me whatever it was that he wanted to say.Even though I felt that the appropriate thing to do was for Billy to tell Alph
ZANE’S POVThe sound of my alarm blaring woke me up and I yawned.It’s hard to keep up with time in an underground world, so I set an alarm on my phone to notify me when it is morning, noon, and night.Ever since I fell ill, each morning I wake up, I wished that I would wake up one of these days and be my normal healthy self.So each morning I woke up, I did with hopes that I would wake up feeling no pain and weakness.But so far, there had been no improvement.And waking up today, still feeling pains and weakness when I move my body, it made me go into a gloomy mood.I began to reminisce of those days when Maeve and I could be together without her urge setting in.I remembered the mind-blowing sex we had on the night of her Luna Ceremony.The way she touched herself and fucked herself with that stupid dildo.The view of wet and dripping pussy when she spread her legs apart.I shook the thought away from my mind because I was beginning to have a hard-on, which surprisingly caused me i
ZANE’S POV“Hey Babe. I don’t understand why you behaved the way you did when Billy video-called you. But I want you to know that if there is anything at all troubling you, you know you can always talk to me,” Maeve's message read.“She can’t even ask if I slept well or apologize for waking up and not calling me,” I scoffed.After reading the message, I ignored it.I knew that she would see that I read the message but didn't reply and that was exactly what I wanted her to know.I was upset at her and there was no way I was going to hide that fact from her.The fact that she couldn't figure out the reason why I acted the way I did angered me more.To me, it was as though she thought what she did was right and that is why her thoughts never went to the fact that she hadn't called me.The sound of my phone ringing brought me back from my train of thought, and when I saw the caller, I sat upright on my bed.“Finally,” I exhaled, seeing that it was Damien calling.I planned on texting him a
MAEVE’S POVI angrily stormed out of Alpha Zane’s room and slammed the door behind me.Lilian was waiting for me just outside his door just in case my urge to kill him sets in and I wouldn’t be able to control it.She sighed knowing that my talk with Alpha Zane didn’t go well.“Just give him some time. He feels left out. Being in that kind of condition isn’t easy at all. Just take it easy with him and be patient. He needs you now more than ever,” Lilian said to me.I sighed.Even though I was fuming with anger, deep within me I knew that Lilian was right.“Thanks for your word of consolation and advice Lilian, I said to her gratefully, making her smile.“You’re always welcome Love. I have another patient to check on this morning. Would you be fine walking back alone to your room?” She asked me softly.She had been so kind to me since I got here and I wondered if it was genuine.Because in a true sense, they were supposed to treat us with hostility because we came in from Shadow Moon pa
