Ann froze as the enormity of her father’s words hit her. “You’re seriously going to

disinherit me and remove my livelihood?” Ann whispered in horror.

Leopold smiled a cruel smile as he glared directly at Adam.

“Let’s see how long Alpha Nocturne sticks around now that you’re no use to him

anymore.” he chuckled.

“You’re making a huge mistake,” Adam growled as he glared back at the Alpha King.

This had descended into madness far quicker than he had dared to imagine. It was

true that he and the King had never truly seen eye to eye, but as a child, he had

looked up to the strong and seemingly capable Alpha King, and for a time at least, had

held him in high regard. But Ann was right, something had changed drastically in the

King. Now, he was nothing more than a middle-aged man, past his best and

seemingly teetering on the brink of madness.

Leopold laughed at Adam’s statement and grinned wickedly.

“Am I? I don’t think so. She has chosen her bed and now? Well, now she can lie in it.

She’s no daughter of mine. She should have rejected you as she did Brad. Who in

their right mind would take an unhinged Alpha rumored to have k*il*led his parents?”

Leopold sneered viciously.

Adam tensed considerably as Ann gasped loudly and before she could stop her,

Maeve surged forward and pushed Ann to the back of her mind.

“I’ll happily lay in the bed of my mate, as the goddess intended.” Maeve sneered as

she stalked forwards with no fear in her golden irises as she neared the King.

Leopold visibly paled and took a hasty step back, realizing almost instantly that he

was now dealing with Maeve, and had no idea what to expect from her.

“What’s wrong father? Are you not happy to see this side of your daughter? The side

that has been suppressed for too long under your own roof?” Maeve chuckled darkly

as she came face to face with him, their noses almost touching.

Her eyes narrowed as she inhaled deeply and tried desperately to catch the scent of

the wolf that she knew had sired her, but as hard as she tried, there was nothing.

“Where is my father, Leopold? What have you done with him?” Maeve asked, her tone

dangerously low as she noticed the slight trembling that seemed to have overcome

him.

“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about! He’s suppressed inside of me, as he

should be..as you should be! The human side of our nature should always maintain

control!” He stammered back, not sounding convinced of his own words.

He turned his head suddenly to the guards behind him who shifted uncertainly on the

spot.

“Leave us! All of you! And shut the door!”

“But, your highness.. do you..”

“DON’T QUESTION MY AUTHORITY! GET THE f*uc*k OUT AND SHUT THE DAMN

DOOR BEHIND YOU!” Leopold roared as instantly, they scattered.

Maeve chuckled as the door closed behind them and threw her head back to stare at

the ceiling as she paced around him slowly.

“What’s the matter, ‘your highness’?” she mocked with a smile, “Do your guards not

know your little secret? Have you locked my sire away inside of you? Or has Narcissa

bewitched you so completely that you don’t even feel the loss anymore?”

‘Maeve, please! He can’t know that we know too much! It will ruin everything!’ Ann

screamed furiously inside her head.

‘I just want answers, Ann, I want to know if my sire abandoned me willingly, or if he

was f0rced.’ Maeve answered softly.

‘I know, but please, Maeve, just don’t let him know that we suspect them of dark

magic…they can’t know..’ Ann all but whispered.

“Maeve? Is Ann alright?” Adam asked hesitantly as Maeve flicked her eyes toward him

and nodded curtly. “I have questions that I want answered, my mate.” Maeve purred

darkly as she flashed him a grin.

The seductive tone of her voice stirred the wolf that ordinarily lay dormant inside of

him and his sudden interest flooded Adam with desire. He clenched his jaw in

resignation as Maeve turned her back to him and focused her attention back on

Leopold.

“Now, where were we? Ah, yes. My Sire. Where is he?” Maeve continued as she

circled the Alpha King slowly.

Leopold was a mess. He swallowed nervously as his eyes darted around furtively, but

he refused to answer. “It’s okay little king. You can answer… I won’t tell a soul.”

Maeve purred dangerously.

The sound of her voice sent a shiver down Leopold’s spine.

How had he not known that his daughter’s wolf was an Alpha female? They were

incredibly rare and almost unheard of, even in royal bloodlines, but there was no

mistaking Maeve’s power.

“I won’t let you talk to him.” Leopold ground out, his tone almost petulant.

Maeve sniggered.

“I didn’t ask you to. I merely wanted to know where he was..but if I make an educated

guess, I can surmise that you have no idea about his current feelings, do you? Is he

lost to you, father? Does he refuse to speak to you because of your actions?” She

crooned.

Leopold was sweating profusely and had begun shaking visibly as Maeve once more

stopped only centimeters away from his face.

She dragged her eyes disdainfully over his pathetic figure and smirked as she leaned

forward to whisper in his ear.

“If my sire has deserted you, then you’re no Alpha King anymore, father. You’re simply

an empty shell.” She whispered as she straightened up and sighed heavily. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Before I give Ann control back, understand this. My mate did not k*il*l his parents,

despite what you may have heard, and as much as I despise Ann’s soft-hearted

nature, I will tell you this also. If you ever decide that you need our help, then call her.

But until the day that you take responsibility for your actions, I will never willingly step

foot back inside that gilded cage that you call home. Both I, and Ann, are more than

happy with our mate and the direction that our future is heading.”

Maeve flashed him a sardonic smile as she turned and made her way back to where

Adam stood silently.

She paused as she looked back at the King with a trace of pity in her eyes.

“It saddens me to see what you have become.” She said finally before letting go of the

control that she had taken and handing it back to Ann.
