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 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.“

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 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 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
