I voiced my reservation and he assured us that he could do it as far as it had nothing to do with spilling blood. It had been important for us to make everything believable. Elder Nat, the Alpha and dad had come up with the plan.We were told about the plan and we agreed immediately.Dominus could have been the best person to do it but he was the Alpha's son and the Alpha needed to project a united family front. Dominus' absence would have been too conspicuous.'But this is not the end. He will be back or preferably let me say that he will keep investigating us. People like him don't back down easily,' the Alpha said. We were in the sitting room of the Alpha house. We had just gotten back from the field with elated moods.'I think that Asher and the soldiers can return now?' I asked.'That depends
Maureen's POV'Can you please clean up the guest room on the left?' The Luna said to one of the staff as we led Mara up the stairs. She was no longer crying but she looked weak and unhappy. The Luna had said we should take Mara to her room. We couldn't talk in that scattered room. 'I need to go see the girls,' Mara said again tiredly after Lucia and I made her sit down on a chair in the Luna's room. 'I can mind link a soldier to get Adelia to check on the girls. Only on the condition that you tell me exactly what is going on,' the Luna said to her. Mum came out of the bathroom with the first aid box and got to work on Mara's right hand. The cut was already healing, but she had to get the glass shards out so that the wound could heal properly. Mara winced when Mum removed a shard that was stuck on her middle finger. When Mum was through, she applied ointment and wrapped it in gauze. I was sure it would heal in minutes. 'Mara, what happened?' The Luna asked again. 'I wanted to co
Maureen's POVI lay in Lance's hands all through the night wondering why I felt as if I just lost a child. I had felt an instant connection with the soldiers when I met them.When I met Alan too, it was the same feeling. I had not wanted Lance to feel jealous that was why I didn't tell him how I felt towards Asher since the first time I laid eyes on him in Amman's pack. My hatred for the Council's Vice President was so great that I shook from the effect. 'Reen are you okay?' Lance asked and made me turn to face him on the bed. He must have noticed the way I trembled.When he saw my eyes, he gasped in surprise, and I knew immediately that my eyes had changed color. He placed his palm on my cheek and caressed me gently.'You need to calm down, my love, or else you will give yourself out,' Lance said.'I do not care. I am ready for war. That fool thought he could use what is mine and get used away with it.' I was staring at Lance from my mind, my wolf had taken over.'He is not going t
Lance's POVI had to call Dominus' phone before I could get him down to the Alpha's office. I lied to him that the office was on fire and waited for him outside the office. He was breathless by the time he got there.'What the hell, Lance? Why did you lie to me like that?' 'I have tried reaching you through the mind link to no avail, so I called,' I said, shrugging.'That still doesn't excuse your lie,' Dom said breathing hard. He must have been really scared. 'Metaphorically speaking, it is on fire. The Vice President of the council is on his way to collect Alan's corpse,' I explained to him.'What? Alan is not dead. How do you produce the corpse of a living man?' Dominus asked frowning.'Elder Nat is in there with our parents. He said he had an idea of how we could go about it. That was why your dad said I should go get you,' I explained.Dominus walked past me, opened the study door, and went straight in. I rolled my eyes and followed him in. 'You had your walls up. We have been
Lance's POV'I refuse to talk to him alone,' Mara said stubbornly. 'I don't even know if I can trust him not to manipulate me.' 'Mara. It is a good thing that you know that a mate's hold on you is powerful so you will be prepared if the need be for you to resist his manipulation,' Dad said to Mara.'Besides that, why will he want to talk to me when all he will eventually do is reject me when he discovers my past,' Mara said.She was nervous; it was all over her face. She thought Alan would reject her immediately after he heard what she had been through at Amman's house. Alan was at that moment not in the place to reject anyone. After he had broken down and cried because of the way he was betrayed, he calmed down and begged the Alpha to allow him to see his mate. Alan had said he wanted to see her because he didn't know what his fate would be. He had seen her in the dark and he wished to see her in broad daylight. It was almost evening though but there was still enough daytime to s
Lance's POV'I need you to tell this young man the things you went through at Amman's house,' the Alpha said to one of the girls that were with Mara and the others at Amman's house.'We will understand if you can't. Nobody is forcing you,' Dad said to her.'No, it is okay. Mara called Adelia that there was someone who needed to be enlightened about the things we went through in Amman's house and I volunteered. Besides the therapist said the more we talked about our experience, the better the trauma would become,' she said smiling at Dad.I couldn't deny the fact that most of the girls we brought back from Amman's house were strong-willed. I couldn't comprehend how they still found it easy to smile so sweetly after everything they had been through. The girl narrated everything to Alan. He was looking at the girl all through her talk as if he was in total disbelief.'Thank you so much, my dear girl, you can return to the main house, a car will take you back to the pack house,' the Alph
Dominus' POVI stretched my hand and reached for Lucia as I came out of my restless sleep but she wasn't there. I was startled at first and sat straight.Then I remembered. It had been a lonely night. I had slept alone because Lucia had spent the night with her mother. I couldn't argue with her. They needed each other. I felt someone pushing into my mind link and I opened up. It was Dad. 'Good morning, dad,' I greeted him.'We will be heading down to give Alan some eye-opening facts. If you wish to join us, you should be ready in about an hour,' Dad said into the mind link.'Ok, dad. I will be downstairs soon,' I said and closed the mind link. I stood from the bed and went into the bathroom with heavy footsteps. I wasn't happy. The sadness I was feeling wasn't mine alone. Lucia was letting her guard on the mind link down on and off and her emotions kept seeping in. How could I possibly be okay when my mate was grieving? I was grieving too. That was like joining two heavy hearts to
Lance's POV'No wonder he was calling us traitors,' dad said frowning.'Where did you find this, Rocha?' The Alpha asked.'I decided to give the soldiers clearing the field a hand. I was restless. I found it in the bag attached to his dead horse,' Rocha explained.'Before this kind of order can be issued, the pack involved would have been sent a warning three times to surrender. If they do not surrender by the time they get the last warning, this kind of order is issued against them and that process takes weeks,' the Alpha explained.'We didn't receive any warnings from them. Besides, we haven't done anything wrong why will they issue that type of order against us?' I asked. I was as confused as everyone else. 'I will like to ask Alan some questions for now,' the Alpha said and thanked Rocha.Rocha said he would not want to go in there with us, so he excused himself and went back to the house while we returned to the room that Alan was.'Now the traitors return,' Alan said bitterly a
Dominus' POV'Dad, there is a problem,' I said to Dad through the mind link.'What is the problem, Dom?' Dad asked. I could hear the panic in his voice. 'Alan is Mara's mate,' I said sighing sadly.'What?' Dad's voice thundered into the mind link.'That is what she told us,' I said.'We will be there as fast as we can,' Dad said and closed the mind link. I looked at Mara with pity. She was shivering in Mum's hands as if she was cold. But I knew the cold wasn't physical. She wasn't even crying. 'Mara, Dad said he will be back to talk to you soon,' I said for lack of what to say.'What did he do? The guy in the cell?' Mara asked.'He led the fight that took Lucia's father from us,' I answered. 'So he is going to die?' Mara asked but none of us answered.I wanted to tell her that he was going to die after he was questioned. He might not die immediately but that was actually going to be his end.'What is going on here?' Lucia asked as she came into the sitting room. I had left her in
Maureen's POVIt was my brother's eighteenth birthday. My parents, for the first time, have been home all day. It seemed strange seeing them around because they were never around. The Alpha of our pack was also present. My name is Maureen. I am the only daughter and second child of the High Moon Pack's Beta male and female. My brother Lancelot is three years and some months older than I am. And that day my brother was turning eighteen, I was so filled with joy.The pack men took my brother outside to wait for the time to strike midnight. The women and the Alpha all waited in the living room. I could see the anxiety on my mother's face. Everybody patiently waited for my brother to get his wolf. My parents were the Beta male and female of our pack. So it is expected that my brother will take over from them one day.My best friend, Lucia, and I silently sneaked from the crowd of women.
