Maverick pov

After the one on one battle disguised as spar with Hartley I have come to realise that I need to prove my worth to my father and the kingdom. They seem to think I’m a pushover who locks himself up to avoid people.

Black Forest Campus the place where I'm going to prove I'm worthy of becoming king when my father steps down. I don’t want to be involved with all the alpha children who all clique together in the Royal Lodge Campus trying to suck up to me. Hartley loves all the females throwing themselves at him and the males who want to win his favour for future benefits. I bet some of them would even offer their fated mates to Hartley so they get more power as an alpha.

The Red Hills Campus where mostly lycans attend isn’t any better. Lycans are just more arrogant than werewolves. So I settled for the Black Forest Campus. Most students there don’t want to become alpha’s, or if they do want to they mostly lack the lineage. So sucking up just isn’t as common here.

    Liberty povUnsure what to believe, I fall into some sort of catatonic state. The mate bond was severely weakened but I think I can still sense it, indicating that Maverick is still alive. But the King has issued a mourning period to mourn Mavericks death. York was broken due to losing his best friend. My heart and mind are not on the seem page. I need Maverick to be alive, I can not and will not live without him. But it seems impossible that he is still alive. But even Naveah no longer knows what to believe.As the academic year was almost over and most of the events before the start of the holiday were ceremonial events which got cancelled due to the mourning period, the holiday started early. Madeline and I travelled back to Howling Moon together. “I can’t believe he is dead,” she says just before we split to our homes. “Me neither, a part of me feels he’s still alive,” I admit. “Maybe his spirit surrounds you? As his body hasn’t been retrieved yet his soul knows no rest,” she o

    Liberty pov/Can you still feel him?/ I ask Naveah. I need her to confirm that Maverick is still here. Losing him… I don’t want to think about it./I can feel him, but the bond is weak,/ Naveah sounds pensive and I get the distinct feeling that she’s keeping something from me. /Naveah, what are you keeping from me? I have the right to know. I need to know,/ I plead with her trying to persuade her to tell me what she thinks. /I can’t say, it’s just a hunch. If I find evidence I’ll tell you. Promise./ She then retreats to the back of my mind. I let out a frustrated huff. I check the time, still another hour before my alarm goes. Closing my eyes I focus on sending love and faith through the bond. I don’t know if it works or if Maverick can feel it but it’s all I can do now. I’ve promised to wait for him. To have faith in him that he would return to me. Somehow I manage to doze off again because my alarm wakes me up. I don’t feel a gaping hole in my heart so I assume Maverick is still

    Liberty povI watch Maverick walk away. Tears running down my face. We spent almost the entire academic year as friends with benefits, girlfriend and boyfriend when we could have been mates. There were so many moments in time where I truly believed him to be my mate but was too scared to stop taking the tincture so that I would really know. But I didn’t and neither did he. We both suspected we were mates but couldn’t accept the possibility we weren’t mates so we hid behind the fake safety of the tincture. Now we’re marked and mated for a small week and that might be all the time we had. Events from my previous life aren’t guaranteed to happen again and there’s significant changes in this life. Me having a different mate being a very big one. /Being mated might also be the reason he returns this time. The timing is different and he is marked by his fated mate,/ Naveah tries to give me a more positive perspective. /I know but I have a bad feeling about this,/ I sigh.“Come, let’s g

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   74. Goodbye

    Maverick povOver the past week I’ve prepared for this. I’ve visited Olwyn and she helped me with everything I need. Liberty didn’t ask for an explanation when I asked her to not tell anyone we’re mates. She nodded in understanding. Our marks are low on the neck so they are easily hidden from sight. Hours I have spent sitting hunched over maps crafting the plans alone. I have not shared my plans with anyone this time. Just like before Liberty pressured me to be careful and vigilant. Through the bond I can feel her worry and nervousness for me and the mission. Realising that my plan can easily go sideways and this might be our last week together we sleep together every night. To my happy surprise no one has informed the administration, or the administration has not bothered to reprimand us and put an end to it. We might have going for us that we have been close all year and we’re both doing really well in classes. I look at Liberty. Her face is peaceful and I can see the light frec

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   73. Mate

    LibertyThe scar on my neck from the noose I used to hang myself tingeled when I stepped over the threshold. My eyes immediately went to the hunched figure behind the bar. She is oddly familiar but I can not lay my finger on it. I did however immediately relax. However this is we can trust her to keep us safe. She introduced herself as Morgan and pointed us to separate tables. Morgan is definitely not the name I know her by. The Silent Night Hawk is unnaturally quiet for the number of people that are present. No one looks up and even in passing you can not make out a word that is being said. Morgan has put up some strong spells. Stuart, Madeline, Martin and I had a good dinner and talked about goddess knows what. All I know is that the evening sped by. Before I knew it Cassius and Maverick stood up. We paid at the bar and left. I’m anxious to know what Maverick and Cassius discussed. But Maverick is silent. In silence we’re on our way back to Black Forest. The atmosphere is tense.

  • Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess   72. Cassius

    MaverickBy being loose lipped Madeline and Martin signed my death sentence. Tonight the four of us will be walking into a death trap. At least based on my encounter with Cassius it will be him I’ll be meeting tomorrow. There is no way he will let me walk away. I can’t bring an army or even a battalion. It pains me that I will be responsible for the deaths of Liberty, Madeline and Martin as well. Their only chance is if Cassius takes them in. Previously it was just me who died. The men I brought with me were sent back to my fathers punishment. Cassius knows all too well what my father does with warriors who disappoint him. Now Cassius won’t be gaining men but he will kill me. Maybe not straight away at the inn but as soon as we set a foot outside we’re fair game. Somehow I feel resolved about the matter. Yesterday after breakfast I was angry. Then I panicked for Liberty. Now I’ve reconciled with the fact that I ruined my second chance. My only hope is that I’ll be let into the un
