Chapter twenty fourMaeveI had a done look on my face as I stood leaning on the wall with Hazel's weight on me. I was already sick and tired of all these people pulling me around and questioning me like I was some suspect in a murder case."I asked you a question, and I expect an answer." She spat into my face.I sighed to calm myself down before I answered her."I do not answer to you, Hazel. I don't see why I have to tell you or inform you about every little move I make." I stayed against the wall, letting her think that she had the upper hand against me. "Well, if you don't want to have both of our heads chopped off, then I think you do. You have to inform me of every single thing that you do when I asked you." I was being lenient on her because I knew that she was paranoid about the whole situation, but it wasn't like I also wanted everyone to find out. "Do let me get started on you, Hazel. You won't like me when I do." I let her know."You can't do anything, Maeve. Now tell m
Chapter twenty fiveArthurIt was already nightfall and everyone had gone into their rooms for the night after having dinner. Hazel was lying by my side, facing the wall sound asleep.I really didn't like sharing a room with her, so we had our seperate rooms, but she had to move into my room because of the gathering to make space for other people.I turned away from her and sighed as I stared up at the ceiling. One of my arms was under my head and the other was in my stomach as I thought about what had happened during the day.The incident in the kitchen wasn't what I had expected. It was like I was being drawn to her and had and other brain function shut down because I couldn't think of any other thing apart from getting close to her.The confusing part of it all was that she didn't pull away from me. I was almost sure that I had heard a moan from her, but I didn't want to jump into conclusions. But the fact still remained that she didn't push me away.I groaned and raised up my hand
Chapter twenty sixMaeveThe next day, I woke up and thankfully, Alpha Devon didn't say anything, so thay meant he hadn't found out that I left the room the night before. After he apologized to Arthur the day before, he had been acting a little strange, but I didn't want to say anything about it to avoid bringing up the issue again.I hadn't expected to meet with Arthur when I went out to drink water. I had noticed him patrolling the corridors after a while of sitting in the kitchen, but I didn't expect him to go into the kitchen.Immediately I raised my head up and saw him, memories of what had happened that day came rushing back into my head. I had to shake my head and try my best not to think about it, and thankfully, Arthur seemed to have learnt his lesson as he kept his distance from me.The activity for the day was going to be kind of like a discussion about the issues going on in different packs and the attacks that the rouge alpha had been laying.I had gotten dressed faster th
Chapter twenty sevenMaeveAlpha Devon and I had immediately gone out to sit at the place set out for us as they were about to begin. It began with Arthur coming up to inform us about how the discussion was going to happen. According to what he said, Alphas.of some of the affected packs would come out and explain to everyone what they and their packs had experienced or gone through at the hands of the rouge alpha.After he was done talking, they all came up one after the other to talk about their experiences. I knew most of them that had their packs in the Northern regions because I had helped them before.I wasn't really interested because they were stories that I had heard a lot of times, and I was already kind of bored, so I just zoned out. I'm hungry.I rubbed my stomach, the only thought in my head being the fact that I wasn't able to eat anything that morning. The sound was really loud, and I was afraid that Alpha Devon and the other people around me wood hear it, so I decided
Chapter twenty eightMaeveMy eyes widened as I stared at Alpha Damien who was standing right in front of me. He mirrored my reaction perfectly because obviously I looked exactly like Hazel.He stepped back and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he watched me. I let out a little laugh as his lips moved, but no words left his mouth.I felt sort of confused inside as he didn't look the same as when I saw him the last time, even though only about a year had passed. He appeared to be a lot older and his face was wrinkly, and that made me wonder what had happened while I wasnt around.I couldn't ask him any questions as I wasn't supposed to know him. I would say that I had heard about him through Hazel and she had shown me his picture."Good day, Alpha." I greeted him and he seemed even more confused."What…. aren't you Hazel? I thought I just saw you over there?" He said and that made me laugh even harder.Our parents had done a good job at hiding the fact that we were twins from every
Chapter twenty nineMaeveAll my life, I had never really thought about how I would feel if our parents died. No matter how bad they had treated me, I never really imagined or wanted them dead. I never even wanted that for Hazel. I stood there with my back to Hazel, not quite ready to believe what she had said. It was true that I hadn't seen them since I arrived, amd I hadn't asked about them, but I never really thought that anything would have happened to them. I just thought they were being rebels and didn't want to attend, that was all.I slowly turned to her with a frown on my face.That was the moment that I realized the really reason she had frozen when I mentioned Alpha Damien's name."What do you mean?" I asked her.She was looking away from me, with her hands on her waist. Her face didn't hold any pain that would be normal for a person that was talking about their parents' deaths."You heard me, Maeve. They're dead." She sounded annoyed."How? When did this happen?" I asked,
Chapter thirtyMaeveI was really trying to calm down so that I wouldn't do something that I would regret to Hazel. I had to remind myself of the fact that she was still the Luna of the pack, and any actions that I made would be see as against the pack. I let out a deep breath and tried to put a smile on my face as we approached Alpha Damien who had his back to us.I tapped his back and when he turned around, the shock on his face was really surprising. I really couldn't believe that my parents didn't even tell him that we were twins and they claimed to be close to him."Is this really true?" He said as Hazel came to stand beside me.He picked one of my hands and one of Hazel's. "I really can't believe that this is true." He said, still in awe. "Your parents never said anything about this to me. I only ever knew Hazel, but meeting you now feels like an honor." He said as he let go of Hazel's hand and held my hand with both of his."I hope that we can get along just like how I got al
Chapter thirty oneMaeveI couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between Arthur and I the day before. I really didn't want to get involved with him, but he was making things too difficult for me.Him coming into my room during the day when everyone was still outside and anyone could pass by or Alpha Devon could walk into the room at any moment really stressed me out. It was even more worse when he approached me and….I sighed as I placedy hand in my forehead, not wanting to think about it at that moment, or I would stress myself even more. Alpha Devon had already left, because a warrior had come very early to call him. I really didn't know what was going on, but I would find out when I went out. I walked towards the door and pulled it open. It was already after breakfast. I wasn't hungry, so I didn't bother, but I noticed that the number of people that were normally around had reduced. I frowned and walked further into the living room and noticed that it was mostly women a
