All Chapters of Thrown Back by the Moon Goddess: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Liberty pov“Don’t chew on your lip, we’re going to do more than fine,” Maverick whispers as he nudges my side. Letting go of my lower lip I turn towards him, “I’ve not dreamt about this in any way. That makes me nervous in itself,” I try to explain the pit in my stomach.“During the selection I knew the rogues were coming during the navigation trial and you had to save me. I was warned about the first event in John's pack so I could prepare. Does that mean nothing is going to happen now? Or that I’ve somehow been kept in the dark?” His thumb strokes my cheek, “We’re with you. I won’t let you out of my sight. But you don’t necessarily need me. You’re an excellent fighter and strategist. We’re going to nail this tournament. Black Forest has never been so well trained, so cohesive as it is now. All because we’re being led by the most inspiring queen there ever was.” “Ladies and gentlemen,” Beta Xander takes the stage before I can react to Mavericks' exorbitant statement. Yes I hope h

Liberty povIt takes Katie and Alex a lot of convincing to get Beth to leave Melody’s body behind. Beth quickly accepted that it was an unwise idea to carry a corpse given the circumstances but she opted to stay with Melody. While Katie and Alex discussed the matter with Beth I felt Maverick getting impatient. Finally he had enough. He walked up to Beth, grabbed her by the shoulders, hoisted her to her feet and looked her in the eye,”I can see and understand that given the circumstances you don’t care if you live or die. But we do care. About ourselves and about you. You are now our responsibility because you can not be trusted to make responsible decisions. So you will hug Melody goodbye. Tell her that you love her and that we’ll be back for her and then we march towards the castle.” Beth stared and Maverick, I thought she was going to protest but she nodded. She kneeled beside the lifeless Melody and hugged her, “I love you Melody. You are the best sister I could have wished for.

Hartley povVerity and Candy have been bickering every step of the way. By now I want to strangle them both. Starting with Verity. “Shut the fuck up, the both of you. Every other team can hear us and either avoid us or attack us,”I hiss, trying to keep my voice down to not be part of the problem.I’m anxious. Rosebelle promised me she could eliminate Liberty but to be sure she targeted the right woman I had to bring her something of Liberty. Something like a hair. But I didn’t have that. So instead I described Liberty to her. She didn’t seem too impressed with me. Neither was she impressed with the food I brought her. I’m not sure what she will do. If she will do anything at all that is. Not too far away a scream sounds. “What was that?” Verity asks, her eyes shocked. “The better question is who was that,” Candy says. Her eyes showing a sadistic glint. She doesn’t really care about others in general save a few exceptions. I grin to myself but don’t say anything. My guess is that

Liberty povMAverick, Martin and I stayed with Madeline as long as we were allowed to by the doctors. Martin was allowed to stay a little longer as he could monitor her situation allowing the doctors to spend time with other patients. The status of me and Maverick is somewhat undefined. We are basically a couple by now. I’m still using Olwyns tincture to prevent from being found as a mate by Hartley or someone else. By now I know Maverick quite well and I suspect that he too has uses Olwyn's tincture to prevent being found by his mate. We should discuss it before the end of the academy year. The idea of not seeing him all summer doesn’t sit right with me. Though I’m looking forward to spending time with my family I already know I’m going to miss Maverick like crazy.As we left the hospital he put his arm over my shoulders tugging me into his side. Placing a kiss on my head, “Can I stay with you tonight?” his voice pleading.“I would love that,” I admit. The idea of spending a night

Maverick povExhausted Liberty and I get into her bed. Somehow taking her to my room in the castle feels wrong. Not because I’m ashamed of her or that I want to keep her hidden but because it feels as if I would be exposing her to hatred and danger. My gut tells me Samantha will try to sabotage her. I’ve never known my mother as she died hours after giving birth to me. Samantha claims she was a mother to me, that she loved me and Hartley evenly. If that is truly how she feels she keeps it well hidden in her actions. I think I was around 10 years old when I started calling her Samantha instead of mother. She didn’t like it one bit sneering at me that I was ungrateful for everything she did for me. The sacrifices she made. Then nor now do I know what she sacrificed. She wanted to become Queen. Like a vulture she circled my grieving father palming him in by taking care of me. The older we got the more she tried to take away my confidence and feeling of self worth. Always comparing me t
