(6 weeks later) Rayan POV We knew we would receive alot of blow back from this, but we weren't too worried about it. By the time the complaints started rolling in, Maeva would be marked & have her power back, & anyone who thought they could stand against us would be in for a rude awakening. Maeva... calling her that, now that I know her real identity felt strange, like I wasn't giving her the respect she deserves. Councilman Donahue & his son would be livid when she didn't go back to her pack for Christmas break, but she was mine now, & I wasn't letting her go. If they thought they would take her from me, they would meet their deaths first. We watched all the students load up on their busses to go back to their packs for the holidays, well, Ronan & I watched. My Princess was flitting around giving everyone hugs & wishing them happy holidays. She really was the perfect Queen. The new generations of Alphas & Lunas respected & adored her, she was inspiring & encouraging
Maeva POV Yesterday I unpacked my things & placed them where they would go in Rayan's residence. He was so sweet, he had actually cleared out drawers & closet space for my stuff, & given me shelves in the bathroom for all of my 'girly stuff' as he calls it. He hasn't said anything about it, but I can see it in his eyes that how little I own bothers him. He doesn't understand though. I may be a princess, but I wasn't raised as one. He was raised by Queen Amelia herself to be King, so he has always known the best that life has to offer. I, however, was raised to be a warrior, & we live off of very little. He said that being his Queen would change all that, that soon enough I would have more things than I could possibly ever need. I could only laugh at the thought, I mean, if I'll never need it, why should I have it? But, whatever makes my King happy, & apparently, spoiling me will make him happy. He cooked me a delicious meal last night. Pork loin with asparagus & mashed p
Rayan POV She ran from the suite before I could say anything else. Ronan told me I should give her some time & space, but by the time dinner rolled around, she still hadn't returned. She was blocking out all mindlinks, so I couldn't even attempt to apologize. How had I been so careless? She's so mature that I sometimes forget she is still just a teenager. Fuck. How am I going to fix this if she won't even talk to me? Razor wouldn't talk to me either. He had retreated to the back of my mind & put a block up so I couldn't reach him. It was just me & Ronan, who ofcourse kept insisting that she would return. I made dinner for the 3 of us, & put her plate up so she could eat when she finally decided she was ready to come home. But, she never came home. After dinner I sent some warriors out looking for her. I could hear them howling & knew they'd picked up her scent. It wasn't long after that they told me she'd gone back to her dorm room for the evening. Shit, I really f
Maeva POV I woke up freezing cold. I still couldn't feel Gia, so I knew they were keeping wolfsbane in my system. Fuck. Well, I guess I would have to depend on my brains & skills to get me out of this, since my wolf strength wouldn't be available. I had no idea where I was, but I couldn't feel anyone through the mindlink, so I was on my own. I knew that though, mindlinking is a wolf ability. The was a female coughing & groaning from the otherside of the room, she sounded worse than I felt. I had no idea who she was, but I instantly felt bad for her. How long had she been here? Why was she here? Where even was here? Perhaps she could help me escape, or I guess I would help her escape? I wasn't too sure about anything, except for the fact that my head was pounding, & that I was locked in a basement of some sort, with absolutely no light source. I couldn't help but wonder what Clay had planned for me, since obviously he was quite angry. He had never locked me up anywhe
Rayan POV We sat there in the library of the Hidden Stream Packhouse as Jennifer repeatedly tried locating her sister & my mate. She said there was a cloaking spell acting as a barrier so she was having trouble getting through. She never stopped trying though. Knowing that those responsible for taking my mate had her sister as well was motivation enough for her. The only time she took a break from trying to breakthrough the cloaking spell was to track her niece & nephew. When she found them, she summoned her father, King Benji to go get them. I insisted he take Ronan with him, as this was just as much a wolf problem as it was a witch problem. He reluctantly agreed. As Jen worked her magic, a bright green light flashed from the side of the room, & I knew they'd returned. Ronan was in a pair of basketball shorts & covered in blood upon their return. He gave me a nod & I didn't have to ask. He had killed the wolves responsible for holding Jessica's family hostage
Genevieve POV (Maeva's POV will be under her real name, Genevieve from this point forward) I woke up to the setting sun streaming a beautiful light pink light into the room. This place was absolutely beautiful. I had never been anywhere besides Red Clay & Peacekeeper territory before, so this was definitely a new experience for me. There was a knock on the door shortly after I woke, so I opened it with a smile. A fae girl named Lily came to get me for dinner, & we walked through the halls which were twinkling with sparkling lights. Lily was gorgeous, she had platinum blonde waist length hair, high, shimmered cheek bones & a pointed nose & ears like Crysanthi. The points on her ears weren't nearly as long as Crysanthi's, & had no designs. They were solid green tips. She was much shorter than Crysanthi as well, & slightly shorter than me. She didn't talk to me really, keeping her answers to my questions short. When we got to the dining hall, she opened the door & bo
Rayan POV The next 5 days dragged by. I tried to will time to speed up, finding meaningless tasks to occupy my time with, but it was no use. I even went shopping with Nicollette, Gwen & Jen so they could get my mate Christmas & Birthday gifts. They had never met her so they had no idea what kind of things she enjoyed. I told them that she was a simple girl, & not at all the Princesses they were. I also told them that between the gifts Ronan & I had gotten her, there was really nothing more she needed, but ofcourse, they insisted they get her something. They each decided on jewelry, some clothes & gift cards. My mate was going to have more things than she knew what to do with. Benji left, saying he'd be back for Christmas & to meet the child that was basically his granddaughter, since his son had raised her, & I talked him into portalling Ronan back to the academy when he did. Ronan had gathered my Princess's gifts & drove back to Hidden Stream with them, so that we would
Genevieve POV The days flew by as I trained with the fae warriors in the morning & Crysanthi in the afternoons. We spent most evenings after dinner drinking fae wine & giggling like school girls. I learned quite a bit about not just the fae, but other supernaturals from Crysanthi & Azak. I spent my mornings & my nights linking with Rayan, though our evening chats were usually longer than the morning ones. He was incredibly bored waiting on me to come back, but I was enjoying myself. Sure I missed him, but there was so much for me to learn here. Gia was enjoying her freedom as well. The first time I let her loose to run, the shift was quite painful & slower than it had previously been. She said we both just needed to get used to it again. Crysanthi & Azak were right there next to me though, watching carefully with eyes full of worry. Once I had fully shifted into the beautiful white wolf with silver markings, she stretched & shook out her fur before taking off running. I
