Entangled Hearts : Mate To My Best Friend's Brother 49
I wanted to scream. Not from the pain in my ankle or the ache in my chest, but from the sheer frustration of the moment—of him. The way he looked at me like I was made of glass, like I hadn’t just laid my heart bare in a grocery aisle filled with crushed pads and cheap candy bars. “You know everything you touch—” I started, my voice shaking as I leaned on the counter for balance. “You keep telling me I’m pathetic. That I’d never be a good Luna. You’ve said that crap a hundred times like it’s gospel.” He flinched. Good. “And yet—” I sucked in a breath, swiping furiously at the tears dripping down my cheeks. “Yet you beat the hell out of Trevor when he said stuff about me. You glared holes into Carter when he flirted with me. What the hell do you want, Jaxon? Why can’t you just let me be?” I didn’t mean to cry. I hated crying in front of him. Maybe it was the hormones, or the bond, or the fact that my ankle throbbed like it was trying to detach itself from my body. But mostly—i

I was a mess. Not metaphorically—well, that too—but physically. Hoodie two sizes too big, hair pulled back in a lopsided bun, and sneakers I hadn’t washed in weeks. I looked like a storm cloud in human form. And honestly? I felt worse.The past two months had drained me to the core. Between Jaxon and Carter and everything spiraling out of control, I barely recognized myself. The aching cramps in my lower stomach were just the cherry on top of this crap sundae.My parents and Kyle were out of town for some family emergency, and of course, my period decided this was the perfect moment to show up uninvited. So here I was, marching toward the corner convenience store like a zombie on a mission—for pads, chips, and enough sugar to temporarily shut my brain down.I just wanted to be alone. Netflix, junk food, a heating pad, and absolutely zero contact with anyone. I still missed Ava. Every day. But she still wasn’t talking to me, and I couldn’t blame her.I reached the store and gave a tir

Maeve pov The murmurs of the pack quieted as Alpha Marcus stepped forward, Beside him, Luna Selene stood with her hands clasped in front of her, with a warm expression on her face. She met the eyes of those gathered, nodding to familiar faces.Then, Alpha Marcus spoke.“The Lunar Convergence,” he began, “is not just a celebration. It is a reminder of who we are, of what binds us together. The moon grants us strength, fuels our spirits, She is our guide, our guardian, the source of our instincts and strength. And we, in turn, honor it. This night marks the shift in the lunar cycle—a renewal of power for the pack.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the room. I felt it too—that weird feeling was stirring in my blood."The moon has watched over us for generations," the continued, her voice gentler but no less powerful. " And tonight, as she reaches her peak, we honor her, as we have always done.""Our ancestors honored today as a time of renewal,” the Luna continued. “It is a reminde

Maeve’s POVThe Luna’s voice rang through the gathering hall, effortlessly cutting through conversations.“Ava, darling, come greet our guests.your friend is here”I felt my stomach tighten.Friend. The word settled uneasily in my chest.Kyle, standing beside me, became tense but his face remained unreadable. My mother, who had been making small talk with the Luna just moments before, glanced at me with concern. She knew something was off—she always did.There was a pause—one that stretched just a little too long. I knew Ava well enough to recognize what it meant. She didn’t want to come. And I knew why.When she finally emerged from the crowd, it was with the same effortless grace she carried everywhere. She was dressed in a deep green gown that hugged her frame perfectly, the rich color making her eyes stand out even more. She looked like she belonged here, while I still felt like an imposter.Ava’s emerald eyes swept over me, but for the briefest moment, I thought I saw something

Maeve's pov The dress itched.It clung to my skin in all the wrong places, too tight around my waist and too loose at my shoulders, making me feel like I was drowning in fabric. My mother had insisted I wear something "respectable" for the Lunar Convergence, something that wouldn’t make us look like we had just rolled out of the woods. Apparently, my usual oversized sweaters and worn-out jeans weren’t appropriate for sacred traditions.I adjusted the dress, fighting the urge to scowl. I would have rather stayed in bed.Instead I stood before the Luna’s estate, a grand stone house that was covered in the soft glow of its windows. The warm scent of bread and roasted meat floated through the air, but I could only focus on the tightness in my chest.My mother carried two large baskets filled with freshly baked bread, pies, and spiced meats wrapped in cloth. Kyle and I each held a smaller tray—his stacked with sweet rolls, mine arranged with an assortment of pastries. The warmth of the

Maeve's pov "Maeve! Get up this instant!”I groaned, rolling over and burying my face in the pillow, my muscles were sore from the stress of the day before. Every movement I made felt sluggish, as if my body had been drained of energy."Maeve!” My mother’s voice was sharper this time, it seemed to me she was running out of patience. “If you don’t get out of that bed right now, so help me—”I flung my arm over my eyes, squeezing them shut. “Five more minutes.” My voice was cracked from sleep.“Five more minutes, my ass,” she snapped. “Get up now, or I’m dragging you out myself!”I clenched my jaw, frustration curling in my stomach. “Fine! I’m up!” I shouted back. A shiver ran through me, though I wasn’t cold. Something inside me still felt...off.Everything from the night before came crashing back. Evelyn. The things she’d told me. The truth I had spent my whole life unaware of.A Fiora omega. That’s what she had called me.I couldn’t shift, couldn’t fight. I was nothing like those A

"No need for introductions,” he said with a mocking tilt of his head. “I know exactly who you are. Everyone does. The Alpha’s golden daughter. Our pride. In fact, Maeve here told me so much about you " He smirked, his eyes flicking over to me. “In fact, it’s mostly your asshole of a brother she can’t stop talking about.” Carter didn’t seem fazed. Instead, he leaned in, kissed her hand again . The sight made my stomach turn, but I forced myself to look away. Ava yanked her hand back, wiping it on her jeans. “Ew. Gross. I already have a mate, stalker boy—you should know that since you were eavesdropping.” She winked at me. “And for the record? I’m rooting for you two, Maeve.” Carter clapped his hands once“Well, now that the awkward introductions are done and over with, can someone please tell me what the hell this ‘Lunar-whatever’ trip is?” I rolled my eyes. “Lunar Ridge Cabin Trip, genius.” He shrugged. “Whatever.” I glanced at Ava, who was practically vibrating with excitement, h

The garden smelled of jasmine and fresh earth, warm sunlight filtering through the leaves as Ava and I lay sprawled on the grass, giggling like kids. Ava giggled, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "I promise," she said, "Hunter went full alpha on me when I told him I had to leave early last night." I snorted, pressing a hand over my mouth. “Oh my god, he did not.” “Oh, he did. And then we, uh…” She wiggled her brows, eyes twinkling. I gasped, wide-eyed. “You didn’t.” “Oh, we did,” she said, grinning. “Hell no. I stayed. And let’s just say—he made sure I regretted even thinking about leaving. Maeve, I couldn’t walk straight this morning. I nearly tripped getting out of bed.” “You’re disgusting,” I said, grinning despite myself. “And limping,” she added proudly, throwing her arm behind her head. “Ten out of ten. Would suffer again.” I shook my head, chuckling. “You’re completely out of your mind.” Ava leaned in, lowering her voice to a teasing whisper. “And you’re in denial. I
Entangled Hearts : Mate To My Best Friend's Brother chapter 41
The hallway felt longer today as I walked down. Today was the day. The day I was going to speak to Ava. I had replayed that fight in my head a hundred times since it happened—every word, every look, every moment her voice broke. I still felt awful. And maybe… embarrassed. I'd broken down in front of Jaxon over the weekend, My ankle had healed, the bruising had faded, and even though I still felt humiliated from breaking down in front of Jaxon over the weekend. Today wasn’t about him, It was about Ava. I turned the corner, and the noise of the hall felt like it doubled. Everyone’s eyes seemed to track me, whispers following behind like shadows. The drama of Jaxon beating up Trevor hadn’t died down. If anything, it was getting worse. Not that they cared about the truth. I caught the eyes of Kayla and her friends near the stairwell. Their glares were sharp, like knives thrown from across the room. They looked at me like I was something vile, like they wanted to rip my skin off a
