Maureen's POV

After Dominus left me, I thought of everything for a while. I couldn't possibly stay in that place forever, I had to get myself together and accept everything.

Then I thought of Lance. When I had told him I wanted to be alone for a while, he didn't look happy about it but I insisted.

He sent Lucia to me but I also told her I wanted to be left alone. Lucia insisted that I talk to Lance first but I told her that I wanted to be alone for at least thirty minutes.

Lucia being the stubborn one, sat beside me for a while. But when she realised that I wasn't changing my mind, she left me alone.

Putting myself in Lance's shoes, I knew my mind would be working non stop, wandering why my mate would want to be alone. Knowing myself and how my mind was likely to work, I would think maybe he was even having second thoughts about our mateship.

I decided then that I had had enough time to think. It was time to brace up and face whatever destiny had coming my way. I stood up and made

A lot of questions played in my head. Would they want me to be with their daughter? Would they accept me as a mate for their daughter?

  • My Brother My Mate    Asleep

    Lance's POV'Is she still asleep?' Dawn, the girl we found trying to break into the Alpha's house three days before asked. 'Yes,' I answered her wondering what she was doing in the house. She was supposed to be in the packs' house. 'What are you doing here Dawn?' I asked.'I came to see her,' She answered. 'I know you came to see her. How did you get here?' I asked wanting to know if she had escaped the soldiers.'I walked from the packs' house down here,' she replied.If there was one thing I had noticed about Dawn, it was the fact that she never answered a question the way she ought to.'If you had escaped the soldiers to be here, you had better go back. Forget about the way Grandma Gina treats you, the Alpha and Beta are still very wary of you' I told her dismissively.'What about you?' She asked looking at me with her strange eyes. One of her eyes had the chocolaty colour while the other looked like the colour of a moonless night. At first glance, one might not notice the diffe

  • My Brother My Mate    Under Wrap

    Maureen's POV I had been awake for two days but everybody seemed to be on edge around me as if I could slip into the same state I was in days ago. Lance was the worst of them all. Even in the night, he wouldn't let me sleep peacefully. He would wake me up at intervals as if he was afraid of my not ever waking up again.I didn't want to be angry with him. It wasn't his fault and I totally understood. I would run out of my mind if I were in his shoes. It was not until several hours after I had woken up that I realized that my hair was not the normal colour it used to be. I would not boast of a black hair but my hair was okay as far as black colours go. It had a little bit of brown thrown in especially at the tip. But when I woke up, my hair was completely a bright gold colour. In the bright light, It was almost blinding. I had gone to use the toilet after I woke up from my deep sleep to discover my hair was changed totally.I had caught my image in the mirror in the bathroom and I

    Maureen's POVAfter Lance left, we were both silent. Mum was turned away from me as if she didn't want to look at me.'Mum I am sorry,' I said, not knowing exactly how to start the discussion.She turned to face me, surprise evident on her face.'Why are you apologizing to me?' She asked, frowning at me.'I am sorry that I disrupted your friend's life. I know that is why you hate me and you don't want to have anything to do with me,' I explained.'Why would you say I hate you? Hate is a very strong word,' she said.'I have never felt loved by you. All you have ever done is leave me to the care of the maids and Lance. I had always wondered why you were never like every other mother but now I know better, I do not blame you mum. I just wanted to tell you that,' I said and stood up to leave the room knowing full well that she would leave after I had left.As I was about to turn the door knob, her voice stopped me.'I don't hate you, Maureen. I was just scared,' she said sadly.'Scared? S

    Maureen's POV'Okay. Am I seeing double? Your hair was pure golden the last time I saw it. How come it returned to it's normal state?' Lucia asked as I joined her on the balcony of the Alpha's house.'Shut up people can hear you,' I hissed.'Why don't you want people to hear me?' Lucia asked in a dramatically quiet way. She was whispering.I rolled my eyes at her before telling her everything that transpired between mum and I and the fact that Lance and I are to keep our relationship under wraps.'I don't think I like the idea of you and Lance keeping your relationship a secret,' she sighed sadly. 'Have you talked to Lance about it?' 'No. I saw his text saying he and Dominus went for a run. Maybe when he gets back,' I said shrugging.'Not that I am trying to set you against your parents but the idea of you and Lance keeping your relationship a secret kind of sounds selfish to me,' Lucia said.'I don't even know what to think but I just hope they sort it out soon. Besides, I don't see

    Maureen's POVI was so shocked about what happened that I couldn't talk for several minutes. Both Dawn and Lucia continued looking at me in shock. Grandma Gina was the only one who seemed unaffected by the scene.'You girls should shut your mouths before a fly enters your mouths,' Grandma Gina said with her smile not faltering a bit. Grandma Gina stood up and came to hug me. I shivered and she felt it. She pulled away from me to hold my face in her hands. 'It is normal to feel weird at first but with constant practice and time you would get used to your powers,' she said looking at me with happiness.'Powers?' I asked as Grandma Gina pulled me by the hand to sit on the chair. Carefully manoeuvering her way around the shards on the floor.'Yes, powers. Your powers are limitless. Since the first Golden Wolf didn't live long enough for us to know the depth of his powers, I think it is safe to say nobody knows the extent of the power of the Golden Wolf.''I have never done that before,

    Dominus' POVI walked towards Lucia smiling. I had wanted to hear her say that since the day I turned eighteen and realized she was my mate. 'Are you sure you want to do this?' I asked. I didn't ask so she could back out but to reassure me that I wasn't forcing her into anything.'Yes, Dom. Mark me. Make me yours,' Lucia said looking into my eyes.I felt like devouring her fast but I knew I had to take it slow. I was sure she has never been with any man in her. So it was only appropriate for me to take it easy with her so that she could enjoy her first night.I gently put my hand on her right cheek and kissed her tenderly. She sighed deeply with her eyes closed when I removed my lips from hers. She opened her eyes and I saw that her eyes looked at me with unconcealed passion. 'I love you Lucia,' I said with my heart palpating so loud that I was sure Lucia could hear it.'I love you too, Dominus,' she smiled at me and I growled. Her smile made me hard anytime, any day. I was hard a

    Dominus' POVI had spent almost the whole day with Lucia indoors. At some point Maureen had called Lucia on the phone asking why she was not in Grandma Gina's room as discussed.I had heard Lucia tell Maureen that she and I had somethings to talk about.'So we really have something that I don't know about to discuss, right?' I had teased her after she dropped the call.'I don't want her to know yet,' she said frowning.I gently rubbed the spot between her brow. 'Don't frown like that all the time. You might get wrinkles too early,'I flipped her nose. 'What were you girls planning to do in Grandma Gina's room?' 'I forgot to tell you something when you returned yesterday.' 'I would not blame you. It wasn't possible to remember anything in that type of mood,' I winked at her playfully and she blushed.It was lovely to watch as her blush crept up her entire face.'Stop teasing me Dom,' she said shyly. 'Is it just me or do you actually look more beautiful today?' I asked as I got closer

    Maureen's POV'Ian must have known that I already met Lisa,' I fumed.'Why are you angry?' Grandma Gina asked.'He could have just given this to me when we were at Amman's pack and we could have simply headed off to Lisa's pack from there,' I said pacing Grandma Gina's room.'You need to calm yourself down child. Things are not done that way. If what you told me about Lisa is true then heading off to her pack immediately might not be the best. Her pack would need time to come to terms with the fact that their child was back before you barge in on them,' Grandma Gina reasoned.I sat down and thought about asking Grandma Gina about Ian. Maybe a part of the prophecy we didn't know talked about him.'Grandma Gina, was Ian mentioned at all in the prophecy?' I asked.'The bane keeper was not mentioned at all. The golden wolf kept him a secret that was probably why he had remained safe for this long,' Grandma Gina answered before asking me why I asked the question. 'Something in what Ian sa

    Maureen's POV'I guess your presence means you are back,' Ian said as he sat down beside me on the bench in the pack.'Yes. Obviously,' I said without looking at him.'How was the journey? Enjoyable?' Ian asked and I had to turn to look at him.'Are you being sarcastic? Enjoyable? No, it wasn't in anyway enjoyable,' I said in annoyance. I dropped the rest of the sandwich I was munching on before he arrived on the floor.'Good to know that you are angry. You will need that anger to propel you henceforth,' Ian said with all seriousness.'Why will I need anger to propel me? Besides, who will I be getting angry with?' I asked frowning.'You will find out,' he said before bringing out what looked like a folded paper. He placed it on the space between us and held it down with a finger.'What is this?' I asked looking from his face to the paper he held between us.'This is the map that will lead you to Rocha.' 'Who is Rocha?' I asked looking confused.'The one I told you that you need on yo

    Maureen's POVThe days after the revelation of the fact that Dawn and I are sisters had been very hectic so I had not been able to talk to her about anything. She was being herself and I was being myself around her. Although I had not felt any sort of connection ever since we met, I saw her like one of us always especially since she was part of the prophecy. Since the Alpha said the five of us would be leaving soon, I decided against calling Grandma Gina on the phone. Amman had really created a big mess. A mess of people's lives and a mess of his pack now ours. But after a day of rigorous work, things were beginning to take shape. I walked to a group of women that were taking down the number of kids whose parents were dead or who they didn't just see anymore to give them helping hand. I saw Dawn talking to some teenagers and telling them exactly what to do. As silent as Dawn could be, I was surprised to see her that she was really good with people.She looked up at the moment I w

  • My Brother My Mate    Wandering Mind

    Maureen's POV'Is there something I need to know?' Lucia asked from behind me. Her voice startled me.'You startled me,' I said and turned to face her. We were in one of the store rooms in Alpha Amman's house. Our duty was to make sure that the soldiers divided the grains to the people accordingly. 'Of course you will be startled since your mind has been obviously wandering since we got here,' Lucia said.'What do you mean?' I asked feigning ignorance.'Your gaze has been on Dawn all morning Maureen, is there something going on?' Lucia asked. 'Yes am no. Nothing is going on,' I said and turned back to examine a bag of grain to make sure it was still good for consumption. When the Alpha had gone out with dad, mum, Dominus and Lance the previous day, they had worked with some of the elders who Amman had relieved of their eldership because they refused to cooperate with his wicked administration. They had successfully divided the people into different groups so that they could get re

    Maureen's POVEvery word that came out of Mara's mouth cut into my soul like a sword. I never believed in my life that anybody anywhere could be that cruel and mean. Mara held on to mum like a drowning person as she cried bitterly. I saw that Lucia was crying too but I couldn't. I was angry. I felt so embittered by what innocent Mara had gone through.Mara's tears gradually faded into hiccups. She must be feeling broken. She was strong, no doubt. For her to have held so much pain in and helped us with the girls, she was indeed strong. 'Mara.' A voice called from behind us and that immediately made Mara lift her head from mum's chest and looked at her new comer.The girl was held between the doctors. She looked pale but that didn't hide her beauty. She had long beautiful lashes that hid her eyes behind them.'Lisa,' Mara shouted in excitement and ran to hug the fragile looking girl. Lisa? We all gaped at her. I couldn't help but wonder if it was the same disfigured Lisa that was lyi

She looked so angry for the mild tempered woman we had met the day before.She wasn't satisfied with cutting the Gamma's throat obviously as she started stabbing him all over with the tip of the sword.'Mara you need to stop. He is dead already,' dad said as it seemed everyone one of us was too surprised to say anything.Mara didn't stop. She kept stabbing him non stop. 'Mara,' the Alpha called her name but she didn't answer. She just kept on with it until the Alpha stepped forward and got hold of her by the shoulder.'No. He has to die. Let me kill him,' Mara said lifting her face up. There were blood stains that came from the Gamma's body on her face and clothes. There was also a crazed look on her face.'He is dead already,' the Alpha said gently as he noticed the look on her face.'Then he must burn. He must burn right now,' Mara said as she started dashing around looking for something.

    Maureen's POVLucia and I listened to the noise coming from outside with trepidation. It sounded like the sound of war. My heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it wanted to just jump out and beat me on the floor freely.I tried mind-linking Lance to no avail. Lucia also tried Dominus and there was no response.'I can't continue to just stay here Lucia we have to see what's going on,' I said as I started pacing as worry consumed every of my being.'We can't defy their orders Maureen. Let us wait here,' Lucia said and I looked at her in surprise.'Since when did you start following orders Lucia,' I asked in amazement. Lucia was one person that was very daring.'Since I got mated to Dominus. He is a very dominant male, he liked to be listened to and obeyed,' Lucia answered.'So also is Lance. But this new you is quite surprising,' I said. Lucia didn't give me any more reply. Then I noticed something different in her that I haven't noticed before. Lucia was twisting her finger

I had barely slept for three hours.I opened the link and grumbled a not so gentle, 'What?' into the mind link.'Lisa is awake,' Dominus said.'What do you mean by she is awake?' 'That is what the doctors said. You need to come down,' Dominus said and cut the link.I looked at Maureen on the bed with her golden hair spread all over the pillow and wondered if her touch had actually healed Lisa. Lucia had said she didn't see the ball of light but I did. I was very sure that I had not imagined it. It actually happened. I stood up to change from my pyjamas so that I could go downstairs and see what was happening for myself but then I stopped Maureen would want to be there too. Despite the fact that I didn't want to wake her up when she had just had little sleep, I gently shook her awake by her

    Lance's POV'Reen you need to calm down,' I said for the umpteenth time.'What if I wasn't meant to touch her? What if she dies quicker because of my careless move?' Maureen asked looking too worried for her own good.'Either you touched her or not she would have died. It might have been a coincidence that you touched her at her very last moment,' Lucia said and I sent a grateful look her way.'No. it wasn't coincidental. I felt warmth go out from me into her,' Maureen argued.She was right. She had felt the warmth and I had seen the bright light that processed from Maureen into Lisa.I knew Lucia also saw It but she was trying to make Maureen calm down so that we could talk about it. I wished at that moment that Grandma Gina was around. I had asked Maureen and Lucia to accompany me to see Lisa for the last time because I wasn't sure I would be able to stop myself from breaking down. I had expected that their presence would help me keep it together. When Maureen had suddenly started
