Maeva POV I woke up before sunrise for my usual morning jog & to my surprise Stella was getting up too. We both got changed & left the dorms to jog. The mornings were getting cooler & the leaves were beginning to change color, but I didn't mind. I always did enjoy the peace that the early morning brought. My dad & I used to jog every morning before morning training. After he died my training all but stopped. I couldn't help but to think about the events that had transpired as I jogged my normal 7 miles. Clay refused to let me out of his sight for months, refusing to let me train with the warriors because "the training field is no place for a young girl." Really, I think he just didn't want me training because he thought I'd be easier to control if my fighting skills weren't up to par. These days I was incredibly grateful for Alpha Maxwell calling me out to the training field that day. Maybe him showing the Headmaster what I was capable of was his way of saving me. Perhap

Kelsey POV I spent all of Sunday with Stella & Maeva discussing the Wolf Moon Festival & mating ball. We all had so many great ideas & to say I was excited was an understatement. When I finally returned to the dorm room I shared with Andy, she was in bed & ignored all my attempts at a conversation. I'm not sure why she loathes Maeva so much, but because she does, she was furious with me for spending the day with her. It's ridiculous really, Maeva has never done anything to her, yet she dislikes her simply for existing. I sigh & shake my head as I walk past her bed to the ensuite bathroom to shower before going to bed. I'm sure that the only reason Andy doesn't like Maeva is out of jealousy, but what I can't understand is why she's so jealous. Sure Maeva is beautiful, kind, caring & strong. She is also a warrior. But Andy could be all those things too if she wanted to be, hell, she's already beautiful. I get out of the shower & head to bed, but sleep won't come so

Maeva POV When Headmaster Ronan announced Dimitri as the Harvest Festival Alpha, I couldn't be more proud. I glanced up at him from where I sat on his lap with my head nestled into the crook if his neck, but his eyes were closed, as if he hadn't even heard his name be called. He looked so peaceful as his head laid comfortably on top of my curls, his nose buried within the tangles of my coils, breathing in my scent. I giggled as I told him that his name had been called. He looked down at me, & though I could tell he was confused, his eyes held nothing but adoration for me, and.... love? Yea, that's definitely love in his eyes. He is helplessly in love with me, & though I know I should end things before he falls even further, another part of me wants nothing more than to allow myself to be loved. I get off his lap so he can go to the stage, shaking off this feeling that I know is only going to break both our hearts in the end, or atleast I thought I had. As he stood

Maeva POV As King Rayan approached me the first thing I noticed was his eyes. The swirls of blue-green & royal blue in his eyes were evidence of him fighting his wolf for control. It seemed strange to me that a 600yr old immortal Demigod Werewolf had trouble controlling his wolf, but I assumed his wolf was stronger than most. I watched as he slowly stalked towards me, those beautiful eyes entrancing me in their stare. "You shouldn't be out here alone. The Beta will answer for this." His gravelly voice spoke as he stood infront of me. "Well that's not necessary, Your Grace. Headmaster Ronan knows I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself." I answer him watching his eyes for any clear indication of which of them I'm actually speaking to. He takes a deep breath, closing his eyes in the process, & when he opens them again they are a sparkling vibrant green with just the faintest undertone of blue. He hops up on the boulder next to me, & my nostrils are ov

Maeva POV It was late when I got back to my room. Stella was already in bed, but she was waiting up to ensure I got back safely. I walked in the room all smiles & she just looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I giggled like a child as I made my way to our ensuite bathroom to shower as my King asked. Turning on the hot water, pulling my hair down & stripping out of my dress, I was still a bit in shock that I was mated to the King. "Your awfully smiley for someone who ran out of the ballroom distraught. What could have possibly happened out in the woods?" Stella asked from the doorway as I climbed in the shower. I could hear her moving to sit on the toilet as I shampooed my hair. Stella was my Beta, & she'd sworn to help me find my mate, so I needed to tell her the truth. Afterall, I had argued with Rayan over telling her & Kelsey about our bond, & she would find out in the morning anyway. "Well, if you must know, I met my mate out there in the wood
