ZANE’S POVAfter Lilian peeped out my door to check if someone was spying on us, she came in and murmured a spell after which she waved her hand in the air.I didn’t expect that and I didn’t know what it meant neither did I know why she did that.“What was that for?” I asked her and she found her way to my sofa to sit down.“You can never be too sure who might pass and catch a wind of what we are about to discuss and mind you the rooms here aren’t soundproof,” She explained with a serious look on her face.I nodded my head in understanding and clasped my hands together bracing myself for what I was about to hear.“I know you want to hear the full story but from the look on your face, you aren’t doubting what I said. Could there be a reason why?” She asked me and I reluctantly nodded my head.Afterward, I went ahead to explain to her what happened that night that Maeve's pupil dilated to full white color and she told me something that she didn't remember the next day.After listening t
MAEVE’S POVWhen we left the Crescent Moon’s underground pack, I exhaled and closed my eyes to pray to the Moon Goddess for the success of our journey.“Everything is going to be fine!!” Billy drawled, making me open my eyes and turn to look at him.“I don’t know why you all still believe in this moon goddess thingy and believe in her. Okay, where is she now that you’re going through hardship? Huh? Where was she when our pack was falsely accused and now we are forced to live underground huh?” He asked me and scoffed while rolling his eyes.“She exists. It’s just that she isn’t allowed to Interfere with our dealings,” I explained and that made him scoff more.“What kind of goddess can’t change the fate of her creation? It’s high time that we werewolves snap out of the archaic belief that there is a goddess,” Billy said and focused his attention back on his phone.I understood why he was bitter about the idea of me praying to the moon goddess. Crescent Moon pack has been through a lot.
MAEVE’S POVNo matter how much I tried to calm down while we were on our way back to Crescent Moon pack, I couldn't.The fact that Damien and Khal knew of Billy’s plans and I was left out pissed me off.Everything was frustrating. First Maggie accusing me of leaking her secret and now Billy?I groaned, making Billy turn and look at me.“Are you okay?” He asked me and when I looked at him, I could see that he was concerned.But still, I couldn’t help but ignore him.Why was it that he couldn't share his plans with me? I thought we were siblings.He couldn't tell me of his plans but he could tell others? I scoffed at the thought and watched as his brows creased.“I'm talking to you. You should be polite enough to at least answer me, especially after seeing that there are other men in here with us,” Billy whispered into my ears.“Oh, brother, I'm fine!!” I drawled and flashed a fake smile on my face, which I was very sure the hefty men with us would know was a fake smile.Billy sighed bu
ZANE’S POVSeeing Maeve smiling right now gladdened me. When I saw the video that was uploaded online, I knew that Maeve would be agitated.That was why I called Maggie. I called her to hear what she would say to me and to know her reaction.When Maggie picked up the call, she explained everything that happened to me on the day she told Maeve about what was said in the video.She said it was only Maeve that she had told about it. But based on the way she explained what happened on that day, I was more than convinced that it was Patricia.I sighed wishing that I could call Patricia and scold her for what she did but I knew better.Rather, I had Damien threaten her and the next thing we saw that evening was that the post was taken down and the person apologized.That confirmed to me that it was Patricia.What could I possibly do to change her? I began to think because, at the rate which Patricia was going, I wouldn’t be surprised if I was told that she committed murder.I began to thi
ZANE’S POVWhen Lilian and Maggie started the spell, the white petals that we brought for the spell which I wondered its use, suddenly rose out of the bag and began levitating in the air.In unison, Maggie and Lilian used their hands to direct the petals and they dropped in the pond.Never for a second did they stop chanting their spell, and the instant the petals touched the sparkling water in the pond, the water began to glow brightly.Their voices began to increase and I hoped that it was a sign that the spell was working.But then we began to see blood dripping from Maggie’s nose.“What's going on? Why is the blood only coming out of Maggie’s nose alone?” Alpha Kelvin asked in apprehension and rushed to go hold Maggie but an invincible force pushed him away from her.Lilian gasped and opened her eyes. She then stopped changing the spell and looked at Maggie with agitation.“What are you doing? Stop it, Mag,” Lilian yelled in apprehension.“They’ll need you more because you are mor
ZANE’S POVWhen Lilian began chanting a spell that I am very sure was meant to revive Maggie, more blood began to ooze from Maggie’s nose, and she began to cough out blood.Even though we weren’t supposed to be glad about Maggie coughing out blood, we were because this signified that Maggie was still breathing.And in a case where there is still breath in someone's nostrils, there is hope.Maeve and Charlotte rushed to Maggie’s side and held her hands. All I could see was that they were devastated by how everything turned out.Alpha Kelvin on the other hand kept on pacing back and forth in the hospital room.“You've got to calm down Alpha Kelvin, or else you might get a panic attack,” Billy advised but in response, Alpha Kelvin turned to me.“While all of us were shocked when we found out that the magic had a price, you didn't look surprised at all. You knew, but you didn't tell us. You should have fucking told us and we would have looked for an alternative. But no, what do you care?
ZANE’S POV“Reconcile you both?” Billy scoffed in amusement earning a glare from Maeve.“Don’t get ahead of yourself, I don't involve myself in lover's quarrel. I’m here to tell him about what we talked about on the night we went to the river on the surface to pour Dad’s ashes,” Billy said to Maeve and I watched her eyes widen, which made my brows crease.What did the two of them discuss that I wasn't aware of and why was Maeve looking so uneasy?“What are you two on about?” I asked them with raised brows.Billy turned to look at me and opened his mouth to speak but Maeve immediately stood from the sofa and rushed to cover his mouth with her hands.This act of hers made me frown because anything that would make her act this way was definitely not good.“Shut up Bil. You want him to feel more miserable than he already is?” Maeve scolded him and lightly slapped his head making him wince and curse under his breath.I was still trying to grasp what was going on. I couldn't possibly think
MAEVE’S POVWhen we saw Alpha Zane pass out, I rushed to him and so did Billy who was exchanging words with him not long before he passed out.I was happy that Alpha Zane was sitting in his wheelchair even after he passed out because I couldn’t imagine the amount of physical pain he would be in had he crashed to the floor before passing out.I already felt bad for keeping what Billy said to me about his mom all to myself.I knew this was a sensitive issue and that's why I didn't want Billy to tell him about it today but the stupid guy went against my warning to still tell him.Gosh, I felt like punching Billy right now.“Happy now?” I fumed with rage as I asked Billy who was going frantic with panic.“I’m sorry I thought it was the best thing to do,” He apologized and fished out his phone from his pocket before dialing Rand’s phone number.“Babe? Please wake up,” I squatted in front of his wheelchair and shook him but he didn’t wake up.I stood immediately and also fished out my phone
