Maeve

The walls trembled, dust sifting from the ancient stones as if the fortress itself shuddered beneath the weight of the truth.

Ronan stood, golden eyes watching me with an intensity that bordered on pain. “Maeve.”

“Don’t.” My voice was sharp, brittle. I took a step back.

He stopped. For once, he listened, no argument, no insistence.

My gaze dropped to the bowl containing Mara’s blood. The Cross mark hovered above it, red and ordinary, a symbol that had once meant everything to me.

Then I l

    Ronan"Maeve!"Her body went limp in my arms. One second she was standing beside me. The next, nothing. I caught her before her head struck the ground and dropped with her."Maeve." Blood covered her mouth. Too much fucking blood. My wolf slammed against my skin.Mate."Maeve, open your eyes."Her lashes fluttered. Barely.Around us, wolves were moving again. Guards shouting. Someone crying. Nessa sobbing into Eli's hair. I heard none of it."ELOWEN!"The command ripped out of me hard enough that every wolf nearby recoiled. Maeve flinched in my arms. Good. She could hear me."Stay awake."Her eyes cracked open. "Stop yelling."Relief hit me so violently I nearly laughed. Instead, I wiped the blood beneath her nose. More replaced it. My relief vanished."What did you do?"Maeve frowned. "Saved your guards?""By nearly killing yourself?""They're not dead.""Neither are you going to be."Footsteps pounded toward us. Elowen shoved through the gathering wolves carrying her medical bag. "W

    MaeveI felt him before I turned. His presence slammed into the bond with enough force that my wolf surged toward him instinctively. Then his boots hit the dirt behind me."What the fuck happened?"Maris was beside him, breathless from running. Several more wolves followed. Two healers. Cassian. Another guard. None of them mattered. I couldn't look away from Nessa. She was still frozen beneath my command, still half-shifted, still trembling so violently that her claws scraped against the ground even though she couldn't move them forward."Maeve."Ronan's voice came closer. I felt his hand hover near my back. He didn't touch me. Probably because the silver beneath my skin was glowing hard enough that even I could see it."She can't hold this forever," one of the healers said."I know." My jaw ached from clenching it.Nessa strained again. Pain ripped behind my eyes. Fuck.Ronan stepped into my peripheral vision. His eyes moved over Nessa. Then the wounded guards. Then me. His expressio

    MaeveBy the time Soren and I reached the smaller family dining room, I had been bowed to seven more times. I counted. Mostly because every single one made me want to crawl out of my own skin."Stop looking like someone threatened you," Soren said as she reached for the coffee."People keep bowing at me.""Yes. Tragic.""It's weird.""You'll survive.""That remains to be seen."A snort came from the other end of the table. Maris sat there with a plate already piled with eggs, potatoes, and bacon. I hadn't even noticed her."You should have seen Ronan when wolves first started bowing to him," Maris said.My interest immediately perked up. "Oh?"Soren grinned. Maris pointed her fork at her. "Don't.""What?" Soren asked innocently."You know exactly what."I sat down across from them. "I would actually like to know exactly what.""Maeve.""Maris."She glared. I smiled. Soren slid a mug toward me."He tripped."I froze. "No.""Yes."Maris sighed. "Coming down the council steps."My mouth

    MaeveThere was something about Soren's answers that unsettled me."Mate?" I asked, even though I already guessed the answer.She shook her head. "No.""Cubs?"Another shake. "No.""Parents?"Her eyes didn't flicker. "Dead.""Siblings?""One. She mated into another pack years ago."I studied her, searching for a thread of connection. "So you have nobody here?"A wry smile curved across her lips, almost amused. "I have four hundred wolves here, Maeve.""You know what I mean."She did. The amusement faded, replaced by something quieter as she glanced down at the ledgers piled between us. "I was supposed to belong to Elara's household."The words hung between us, soft but heavy. For a moment, I was at a loss. Soren broke the silence first, pushing another stack of paperwork my way."So yes," she said, tone brightening with false cheer. "I am extremely excited about you."I eyed the mountain of folders. "That sounded threatening.""It should.""You're trying to dump three years of work on

  • The Mate Hunt   Chapter 101: Soren

    MaeveI awoke alone in Ronan's bed, the sheets cool beside me, my arm reaching out for someone who wasn't there.For a few blissful seconds, I floated in that warm, blank space between sleep and waking, my mind untroubled and empty. But memory is never merciful. It came rushing back all at once, like a cold plunge into winter water.Dinner. Torin's stare. Elara's absence echoing through her name. Elowen's voice, sharp and angry, cutting across the council chamber, her words ricocheting off half the ranking wolves. My own tears, spilled in the corridor, as I'd crumpled on the floor, unable to hold the weight of the night any longer. And Ronan, gentle, patient Ronan, leaving to sleep in the Luna chambers because I'd asked to be alone.A groan slipped from my lips as I pulled the blanket over my face, wishing I could disappear inside the soft cocoon.What a spectacular new beginning. Nothing quite said "future Luna" like a public meltdown in front of the entire werewolf government.My st

  • The Mate Hunt   Chapter 100: She Should Have Lived

    RonanMaeve's face crumpled, the faintest tremor passing through her features before she turned away, as if even that small vulnerability had been too much to show.I didn’t move. The Hunger clawed at me, restless and impatient... move closer, it urged, offer comfort, touch, fix. But I knew better. Some things, even the sharpest claws couldn’t mend.The silence stretched between us until Maeve finally exhaled, her shoulders sagging with the weight she carried.“I want to go upstairs,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper.At once, I rose. This time, when I offered my hand, she took it. The moment her fingers closed around mine, the pressure in my chest eased, something fierce and aching loosening its hold. Maeve’s eyes flickered to me.She missed nothing, always seeing more than I wanted her to. But she said nothing, and for that, I was grateful.We walked together, wordless, through the halls. The pack house was unnaturally quiet, as if every wolf within sensed the tension trai
