Lance's POVDominus drove straight to our house and dropped Lucia off. He got down from the car and opened the door for her while she mumbled a thank you. She was expecting us to go inside with her, 'Aren't you guys coming in?' She asked. 'No. We are on patrol duties tonight,' Dominus lied through his teeth. He rested on the side of the car while talking to her.'Already? You guys just got back today,' Lucia sounded surprised. 'I guess we have been away for too long. Maybe they thought we had been on vacation,' Dominus joked as they both laughed.I decided to just stay at the corner and not say anything. If only Dominus had ever faced the combination of Maureen and Lucia's wrath, he wouldn't have dared what he just did.I silently observed their interaction. I realized one thing that I have never noticed, Lucia was not indifferent to Dominus. They finished with the little chit chat and Dominus came back intohis car and he drove back to his house. All through the drive back, he was
Lance's POV'You see what I was talking about?' I asked Dominus after Maureen and I were able to drag Lucia off him and the girls left.Maureen had to practically drag Lucia out of the room while Lucia was cursing us both and condemning us to hell.'Are you sure that girl hasn't gotten her wolf yet? She almost scratched my eyes out,' Dominus said wincing in pain. 'I am not going to lift a finger to help you up. You were too impulsive and irrational.' 'I did it to stop another man from taking what is mine.' 'Are you even listening to yourself?' This girl doesn't even know she is your mate yet,' I rolled my eyes at him.' If you were not my friend, I would have said you are so dumb.' 'You don't have to insult me Lance. I am regretting enough as it is.' I wondered if the scratch on his face was the reason for his regret or he regretted everything. The scratch would disappear in minutes due to his superb Alpha gene. 'Why are you regretting so fast? You had better tighten your seat be
Maureen's POV'Lucia, I have no hand in whatever it is you are planning to do to Lance and Dominus,' I informed Lucia first thing in the morning the following day. 'You should at least let me wake up properly before discussing those idiots. Besides, who told you I was going to do anything to them?' She asked feigning ignorance.'I know you very well Lucia. You would not leave the whole matter just as it is. You would want to get even,' I said.'I don't have the strength for revenge these days Maureen,' she said winking at me and smiling like someone who won a jackpot.'Whatever you do, remember that these two are high ranking wolves. If they kill you in the process...' I warned her leaving the rest of the sentence unfinished.'I will be careful and make sure I keep you abreast of everything happening,' she said smiling annoyingly.'Don't keep me posted on anything. Do what you want and face the consequences. You should learn from my ordeal,' I said sadly. I was still sensitive whenev
Lances POVThe ringing of my phone woke me. I swore ripely wondering who could pick that early in the day to call. I opened one eye to view who it was before I remembered it was the alarm I had set to wake up for workout. It must have been going off for sometime. I quickly silenced it so it won't wake Dom but he was already stirring.'What time is it?' He asked sleepily. 'Some minutes to seven.' 'am or pm?' He asked looking as confused as someone who woke up on another planet.I rolled my eyes, wondering what was up with him. 'How can it be on, Dom?' 'I didn't sleep much last night, I would have loved to wake up very late,' he grumped. 'You can still go back to sleep you know. No one is forcing you to wake up,' I said.'You should have switched off that alarm before we slept,' he insisted.'When was I supposed to remember anything about the alarm? When I was dragging Lucia off your sorry ass or when I had to deal with your contrite heart?' I hissed and left the room to ease mysel
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. We sneaked upstairs to the guestroom to catch a glimpse of what was happening outside.My best frien
Maureen's POVThe day after my brother's birthday, I woke up very tired. Lucia was still sleeping soundlessly beside me. We had discussed late into the night. Our discussion was about everyone looking so confused, about Lancelot coming to me after he got his wolf.I didn't see anything wrong with it. He was the closest person to me. Before I had Lucia as my best friend, he was my best friend.We played hide and seek often, we played tag, and we chased each other around the house and even the compound. So I saw nothing wrong with what happened. To me, he was just playing with me as usual. But there was doubt in my heart. My mum and the Luna acted weird yesterday after the incident. They left for Mum's room and didn't come out for a long time. I forgot to mention that my mum and the Luna were best friends and as luck would have it they were both mated to two friends, my dad and the Alpha.The previous night when Lancelot finally came downstairs in his bright green shirt and black trous
Maureen's POV'Should I wait with you till he arrives?' Lucia asked me after one hour of waiting for Lance. It was our routine. He came to my school to take me home every day and any day he couldn't come he would call me. I have tried calling him several times but he would not pick up.'Will you try to call him again?' Lucia asked. I knew she was impatient to get home. Her father was off duty that day and she wanted to spend time with him. 'I have called him several times but he wouldn't pick, what makes you think he would pick now?' I snapped at Lucia.'Hey, don't take it out on me, Maureen. I am only trying to show concern,' Lucia said surprised at my behaviour.I realized what I had just done and apologized,' I am sorry, Lucia, it's just that he has been acting weird since his birthday,' I sighed sadly.Something suddenly occurred to me.' You know what Lucia, give me your phone.''What are you going to do with it?' Lucia asked looking at me suspiciously.Despite her reservation,
Maureen's POVI woke up with a start. Something woke me up or more like a person woke me up. I could smell Lance's scent in the air. I wondered for a while if he came into my room.Since our talk Monday afternoon in the kitchen, he had been avoiding me like I had leprosy. At my most desperate moment, I kicked against his warning and went into his room. He was not in the room when I got there so I sat on his bed and waited for him.I waited for a long time and when I started feeling sleepy, I laid my head on his pillow and fell asleep.A loud growl woke me from my sleep. I woke up with fright so I started shaking from the impact. Lance did not look at me twice. He banged the door almost removing it from the hinges. Since that day for the whole week, I had not laid my eyes on him.Sensing his scent in my room was the last thing I expected. I had always liked the way he smelled. He smelled like the forest after a heavy rain. Since he got his wolf, his smell has seemed more intense.I loo
