Chapter sixteen Maeve It had been over a year since I arrived at Gold Mine pack. A lot of things had changed about the pack, the same way a lot of things had changed about me. Training under Alpha Devon was hard, but I never relented, because I had a goal and I determined to reach it no matter what. Alpha Devon had also been of great help to me, even though he was harsh, he knew to stop when I was at my limit. Things had been going well for me, so much that I had become one of the most feared soldiers the pack ever had. I was not only known in my pack, but in the whole Northern regions. I wouldm sometimes get invited by the alphas of other pack to help with combating and military strategy because of my technical skills. I was happy living in the Gold Mine pack. They were my new family and they never treated me like an outcast or made me feel different from them. I felt more at home there than I did in my own pack. Because of how close we were, Alpha Devon had once expressed h
Chapter seventeenMaeveI had finally agreed to go with Alpha Devon, because I didn't want him to be able to tell that there was a problem. I really didn't want to see Arthur again, but I had no choice.I had already packed my things and was waiting in the living room for Alpha Devon to come down. I twisted my fingers in my hands as I looked around, trying not to seem too nervous. I used the back of my hand to wipe my forehead. I heard footsteps walking down the stairs and I quickly put my hand down and stood up. "Good morning, Alpha." I greeted alpha Devon as he came to stand beside me. "Good morning, Maeve. How was your night?" He asked with a smile on his face. "It was fine, Alpha." I answered."That's good to hear. I hope you're ready for our journey, because it's going to be a pretty long one." He said and I sighed.Well, I should know that, being that I'm coming from there.It truly was going to be a long journey, because even though when I left the Silver Moon pack, I didn'
Chapter eighteenMaeveI sighed as I looked between Arthur's and Alpha Devon's faces. I really didn't know where I would start explaining because I had thought that Arthur would pretend not to know me because of what happened. I really didn't see it coming."What is he talking about, Maeve? Why did he call you Hazel?" Alpha Devon asked me, but I still didn't reply.Arthur's face was still in shock."Who's Maeve? That's Hazel, my wife. Why are you walking with Alpha Devon, and these are not the clothes you were wearing before." He said and I frowned.What does heean by that?It's been over a year since I left Arthur, but he was still calling me his wife and saying that those weren't the clothes that I was wearing.Is he confused?Well, I'm confused."Your wife?" Alpha Devon asked, also confused."Hey, baby." I heard a voice say behind me and I gasped.I could recognize that voice anywhere no matter what I was doing, even if I was sleeping. That voice had plagued me for years on end and
Chapter nineteenHazelThe shock that I had felt when I saw Maeve wasn't something I had felt before. Never in a million years would I have imagine that I would see her again after she left. She had to be really shameless to return after Arthur had rejected her.I was really scared that she would reveal to Arthur, so it made me confused. What an I goinh to do?I bit my nails as I paced around our room, thinking about how to make sureaeve kept her mouth shut. The door suddenly opened and Arthur appeared behind it. My body tensed as he regarded me with stern eyes.Throughy out my stay with Arthur, despite what I had done to make sure he rained with me, he didn't fall in love with me. He never once showed me love or affection. He never did anything romantic for me or anything that would make me happy, and he has made sure to make it clear that he didn't love me and was never going to treat me like his wife, no matter what. Most of the times, he was always angry and wouldn't talk to me
Chapter twentyArthurI really couldn't explain the amount of shock I had felt when I saw Maeve, Hazel's sister walk in with Alpha Devon. I was shocked because she wasn't wearing the same clothes as she was earlier that day and as far as I could remember, she had gone into the house not quite long ago.One odd thing that I noticed was the fact that Hazel's sister seemed very unsure when I called her Hazel. She didn't immediately deny not being Hazel, she just looked around, seemingly thinking of what to say before Hazel came out.Another odd thing was also the fact that I felt drawn to her. It was as if there was a kind of rope pulling me to her. I really didn't know why I found her attractive, maybe it was because she looked almost the same as Hazel, but that was where the problem was.All the time that I had spent with Hazel, after my father had threatened me into getting back together with her and dumping Zoey, the connection that I was supposed to feel with her as a mate, I never
Chapter twenty oneMaeveGoing back to the Silver Moon pack had been more messy than I had imagined. I never thought that Maeve would have gone to take my place beside Arthur.It was funny really, but if she were to be caught, then we would all be in trouble; my parents and the two of us. I really didn't want to be the cause of the messy situation, so I just chose to be quiet.The day had ended and we were to retire to the rooms that had been provided for us by the pack after spending the whole day mingling and catching up with the other Alphas that we knew.Alpha Devon had asked for them to let the both of us stay in the same room, so we were provided with two beds and I was okay with it because our relationship was platonic. Also it was better, so that there would be more space for the other people.We had entered into the room and had both taken short baths. I was seated on my bed, getting ready to go to sleep.Alpha Devon hadn't asked me about what had happened that morning, so I
Chapter twenty two MaeveThe next day hadcome and Alpha Devon and I hadn't woke up early, but we had gotten prepared as fast as we could and gone out to join the rest.They had used the space behind the pack house and chairs and tables had been set up under canopies that blocked out the sun. There were different games and activities that had been set out in advance. Alpha Devon and I quickly moved to the seats that had been set out for us. Arthur had taken the stage to address the Alphas and officially welcome them for the gathering. I found it difficult to look straight at him. I also caught him staring at me a few times. After he was done with his speech, he announced that we could do as many activities as we liked, as the day was just for games. I was happy about that as I didn't have to sit through any boring seminar, but I knew that would eventually happen as it was already scheduled for the next day. I had gotten seperated from Alpha Devon in the crowd somehow and I was too
Chapter twenty threeMaeveMy eyes widened and I gasped so loud and pushed Arthur away from me as I stared at Alpha Devon standing in front of us. The look on his face wasn't pleasant at all. The butterflies that were flying around in my stomach had turned into moths and were making me feel nauseous. I swallowed hard as I watched him move closer to us and stand in front of me, facing Arthur.I looked up at Arthur to see him looking really confused as he stared at his hands like he had touched something he wasn't meant to."What is going on?!" Alpha Devon repeated."Alpha Devon, it's not what you think…" Arthur trailed off looking really confused.Alpha Devon coming in was the last think I had expected to happen. He had feelings for me and I had rejected him, so what would he thinks now that he had seen me so close to another man, and worse my twin's husband.I was the only one out of the three of us that was aware of what was going on, but I couldn't explain to them what was going on
