Dawn's POVI was fuming as I banged the door to my room. Why was everyone not seeing things the way I was. Diego was kidnapped and made to work against his wish. He didn't have to be locked up just because they didn't trust him. I was sure that Rocha hated Diego and I didn't know why. Asher too who was supposed to back me up was behaving as if he didn't care if I was affected or not. I just couldn't erase the fact that everyone was being mean to Diego despite the fact that they knew how important he was to me. My door opened without a knock and Maureen walked in. She had her usual 'I am not here to scold you look' but I knew she was in my room to tell me that what I did out there was wrong.'If you are here to tell me that what I did out there was wrong, you can save it. I am not interested,: I said to her.'For a very quiet person I know, you are actually very vocal now,' Maureen said smiling sheepishly.'I was quiet because I had no option than to be quiet,' I said.'It is good t
Lance's POVI was sure one of my hands was broken from trying to stop Maureen from going outside the house. I was holding her wolf down with every strength in me. While Katrina was crying and saying things about Diego, I felt a powerful anger in the mind link. A type I had never felt before. I knew it was Maureen, so I looked up in her direction, and before I could blink, her eyes changed color, and she was out of the door.She took the steps three at a time but before she could get to the door, I reached her and pulled at her hand. It was as if she was waiting for my touch; she shifted immediately, and my hand touched her. I could feel in the mind link that she intended to go out of the door and kill Diego. I held onto her wolf at first, but it was becoming increasingly difficult, so I shouted for help.The first person that reached me was Asher. He looked confused at first but he joined me when he understood what was happening. Soon everyone started filing into the sitting room w
Lance's POV 'There is something you must see before we go to question Diego,' Asher said as he entered the Alpha's office. We all turned to look at him as he dropped a phone on the table. He had bags under his eyes which meant he probably didn't sleep all night. 'You look tired Asher,' I said stating the obvious. 'I didn't sleep all night. I couldn't. Dawn's emotions were all over the place. Diego is affecting her more than I envisaged,' Asher said shrugging. 'Whose phone is this?' Dad asked. 'It is Diego's phone. I picked it when he was knocked out cold,' Asher answered. I had gone to his room to summon him that morning to the Alpha's office but Dawn had told me that Asher had gone to the Beta house. I guess the phone was what he went for. Dad picked up the phone and opened it. I stood from my seat to stand behind dad and so did Dominus. The phone was not locked because it was in gallery when dad opened it. There were pictures upon pictures of nude girls in different
Lance's POV'Unchain him but keep his hands chained to the back and make him sit,' the Alpha instructed guards that he called in.They immediately got to work and unchained Diego from the wall while they chained his hands to the back. He winced and grunted from the pain of his hands being chained to the back but no one paid him any mind except Dawn.I could see that she was obviously in pain seeing Diego being manhandled like that but there was nothing she could do to change the situation. I knew she wasn't happy with the fact that her friend, someone whom she trusted and loved like a brother was actually not who she thought he was.The soldiers sat Diego down but he wasn't comfortable in the position, he kept straining and wincing as the pain of his hands tied to the back kept him uncomfortable.Dawn looked away from him for five seconds then looked at the Alpha and said pleadingly, 'Can his hands be chained to the front please?' The Alpha nodded at the guards and they made him stan
Dawn's POV'It is really interesting to see that he is facing the consequences of his actions,' Lucia said hissing lightly.I had followed Maureen into Grandma Gina's room to get my mind off things. We had met Lucia there talking animatedly to Grandma Gina about the event that has followed our exposure of the Spot. 'You need to see the video of him muttering about a Rhino coming to kill him. It might sound sadistic but it made me laugh actually,' I chipped in.'I guess Maureen did a number on his mind,' Grandma Gina said. 'I actually used it to scare Diego into telling me the truth,' I said and everyone fell into silence.'Lance doesn't want me anywhere near Diego. He thinks I might not be able to control myself around him,' Maureen said shrugging.'I could have killed him myself you know. I have never felt so disappointed in my life,' I said sighing sadly.'There is more to Diego's case than normal,' Maureen said looking lost in thought.'Diego is actually the Vice President's son,
Lance's POV'Are you sure this is not some kind of coma?' I asked Asher in irritation. Maureen slept through the night after the soul binding with the soldiers and was still sleeping early in the morning when Asher and Dawn came to check up on her.'She is just sleeping, Lance. Relax,' Asher said smiling sheepishly.'You sound annoying right now, you know that. How come you are not sleeping and she is the one doing that?' I asked.'To simply answer your question: my soul was bound to one person's- hers but she had many souls bound to hers. She is strong believe me,' Asher said seriously.'You know she is strong because?' I asked Asher raising a brow.'I know because the golden wolf chose her and not somebody else,' Asher answered.'I think you should just wake her up Lance. She is intentionally not waking up,' Dawn said smiling and shaking her head.'Did you just walk into her dream? I thought that hurts your head,' I said touching my nose to indicate the fact that her nose might blee
Lance's POV'It was really not the best approach but it was the best thing I could come up with at that moment. But judging from the way they were this morning, I guess Alan and Mara finally settled on something,' Maureen said to Lucia. They had gone on and on about Mara and Alan since we left the house. They could stop saying how romantic the moment of their reconciliation would have been. I rolled my eyes mentally because I dared not do it so they could see.We had set off for the council very early as the Alpha had said. We had to take our breakfast along. We took two vehicles. Dad and the Alpha were in one while we took the other. Dad and the Alpha were chauffered while I drove our car.Maureen and Lucia insisted on sitting at the back together while Dominus sat beside me in the passenger seat.The girls soon fell into silence as we approached the gate that led into the council lands. The car conveying Dad and the Alpha was leading the way while we followed.None of the four of u
Maureen's POV'What can you tell this sitting about all you did?' The judge for the Vice President's hearing asked him after all evidence brought against him was presented.'If you are asking me to apologise for what I did then you must be crazy,' The Vice President growled.There was a buzz in the hall as everyone was surprised that he didn't even feel any remorse of guilt for what he had done.'Silence please.' A man sitting to the judge's right stood up and said. When there was silence again he sat down.'Do you realize how many lives you have ruined? A lot of your creations had to be given mercy killing to put them out of their mystery,' the judge said to the Vice President calmly but I could see that he was angry.'The entire wolf world should be praising me and giving me kudos for doing researches they didn't have the balls to do. I wanted to experiment on the few to better the lots of the majority'. I have done nothing wrong,' the Vice President said stubbornly.'You deprived w
Lance's POV'I was thinking I would be privileged to meet your mate. A female that deserved such worshipping love is someone I want as a mentor,' Lucia said to the former president when we settled down in his sitting room.'I wish you met her but she waited all day for you guys yesterday because she thought you would be here early. She had to leave very early this morning. She is visiting a friend's daughter that just gave birth to a baby. We have delayed the visit for too long,' the former president said smiling sadly.'I can see that you are missing her already,' I said. 'Oh, how do you know that?' The former president seemed genuinely surprised by my insight.'Your smile just now said it all,' I replied.The former president sighed loudly as he rang a bell on the table. 'Each time she has to go somewhere, I feel like a part of me is taken away,' he said still retaining his sad smile.A girl of not more than sixteen years who looked terrified as she came into the sitting room came
Maureen's POV'I wish I was going with you guys,' Dawn hugged me again for the umpteenth time.'I wish so too. Please take care of yourself and Asher,' I said winking at her.She smiled shyly and blushed. She understood exactly what I meant by that. She should go ahead and get marked already. 'Will you sisters please allow us leave already?' Dominus asked rolling his eyes. Dawn and I laughed as we separated. I almost stepped on Ian as he materialised from nowhere suddenly.'Sorry. I didn't know you were there,' I apologized.'It is okay. I understand,' he said smiling. 'You smell like Dominus' perfume,' Lucia asked raising a brow at Ian.'I just wanted to blend in with one of your smells in case the old man has a keen sense of smell,' Ian said as he opened the back door and sat down.'I didn't even use the perfume,' Dominus said but we didn't dwell on it. We were distracted by Grandma Gina's opening of the front door and coming towards us.'Grandma, are you okay?' Dominus asked mee
Dawn's POV'What if he doesn't come back? What if he decides to just go back to his pack?' I asked apprehensively looking at both Maureen and Lucia. 'With your mark on his neck? Do you even know the implication of what you have done?' Maureen asked me. 'I don't know. All I know is that I marked him out of annoyance,' I said folding my arms on my chest.'You didn't just mark him, Dawn, you have successfully imprinted yourself into his soul. I am sure that he can feel every beat of the emotions you are going through right now,' Maureen said.'If indeed he can feel my emotions, then he should be back by now,' I said and continued pacing.It was getting dark outside and Asher wasn't back. I was already regretting my actions. I was blinded by rage and jealousy.After Asher had banged the door that led to the house and left, Lance and Dominus had come into the room demanding to know exactly what happened.I explained to them almost crying. I wanted to beat myself when Dominus took it upon
Lance's POV'I think it will be better if we move Diego out of that place. Cybil is becoming a nuisance,' I said angrily.'It was a good thing that you had already informed the guards not to allow her anywhere near the dungeon else she would have waltzed in there and used her father's position as an excuse to get into the dungeon,' Dominus said. After the meeting earlier, a guard from the dungeon had mind linked dad that Cybil was down there saying the Beta had permitted her to look around the dungeon. Dad had instantly told the Alpha and the Alpha had called us back to tell us to handle it. Asher had said he would go with us without us asking. It was not until we were on the road that he told us that he wanted to avoid Dawn till he was sure he was calm enough not to say something amiss.'If I were you, I would stay and see what happens. Running away won't solve anything,' Dominus had advised him.'I am not running. I just want to gather my wits first then talk to her. I don't want
Dawn's POVI thought I had calmed down in the course of our discussion at the Alpha's office but I hadn't because by the time we were through with the discussion and we had to go back to our rooms, my gaze caught that of Asher and my ears started ringing in annoyance. I quickly got up from the chair when the meeting was over and quickly walked past everybody to the room. I didn't want a confrontation with Asher in the presence of everyone. I knew he was going to try and talk to me, that was why I hurriedly walked into the room so we could do it in private.I got to the room, closed the door and started pacing in anticipation that he would soon be there. I waited for the first five minutes still wondering if he got held up with something on his way to the room.Another five minutes went by and he still didn't show up but I still kept thinking that it was possible the boys stayed back to discuss something so this time I sat down to wait for him.I sat down and waited for another five
Lance's POV'What are you saying about the former President?' Dad asked bursting into the Alpha's office with his eyes wide with anxiety.The Alpha must have mind linked him after he saw the picture. We have all been quiet for over three minutes before dad came into the office.The Alpha didn't say a word as he simply pointed at the picture on his table for dad to come closer and see what he was talking about. Dad looked at the picture and frowned. 'This doesn't say anything. What is going on?' Dad said.I quickly brought him up to speed on why the picture was there and how we came about the image of him on the mind of one of his errand boys.'But that is impossible. He can never do that. Can he?' Dad asked himself after making a declarative sentence.'Why do you think he can't?' Maureen asked.'Because we know him as a man that can never compromise. He stood by justice and truth when he was the President of the Council.'If he was as good as you say, why was he removed as the Presid
Lance's POV'Are you sure that the girls are not planning your demise?' I asked Asher as I sat down on the chair overlooking the garden from the library.After the girls had left, Dominus had said Grandma Gina mentioned something about the Citadel relating to the prophecy and he needed to check it out.Since sleep was long gone, we decided to come with him to while away the time till the girls return and we can discuss the pictures Asher had drawn. 'What do you mean by that?' Asher asked coming to peep out of the window.'I saw the way Dawn avoided sitting beside you downstairs. Want to share?' I asked him.'It is just this thing about her getting into my head and making me lose control. I saw her in towel and I practically lost it. It took all my will to tear myself away from her. She wanted me to hold her after that but I told her I couldn't because I wasn't sure I could control myself yet,' Asher explained.'And you rejected her,' I said as if I was finishing his unspoken sentence
Maureen's POV'Give me one good reason why you should be snooping around my house, Cybil,' the Alpha thundered.Cybil didn't say anything. She folded her arms on her chest and continued staring at everybody in the eyes, one person at a time as if she was challenging us to do something to her.I personally wanted to get close to her and give her a brain resetting slap. She made me wake up in the most frightening way. What did she think she could get from snooping around the Alpha house?For Cybil's sake, I hope she will have a reasonable reason for rubbing me of my beauty sleep. I had not even slept for thirty minutes and I was going to be grumpy because of that.'As of this moment, you are a criminal not the Gamma's daughter. So it will be of immense benefit to you if you speak right now,' dad growled at Cybil and that seemed to get her attention.'I was looking for something,' Cybil grumbled.'You were looking for what, in my house?' The Alpha asked in anger. 'I was just trying to a
Dawn's POVI couldn't stop looking at Asher all through the conversation in the sitting room. If he knew it, he didn't show it nor reacted as he paid rapt attention and gave the correct response.I had only hugged him so tightly because I wanted to be in his hands so bad. I had not expected him to kiss me and to do it in front of everyone like that. I was so shocked.'If the Vice President was killed then this sure confirms the fact that there are a lot of people involved in this crime in the council,' Lance said pulling me back to the present. 'It would have definitely taken a lot of those high up to be involved before a crime of that magnitude is committed right under their noses,' Dominus said rubbing his face tiredly.'Has his death been made public?' Maureen asked.'Not yet. A friend called me to inform me. Besides they have a bigger problem on their hands with the early morning gift you presented at the gate. The whole place is swarming with reporters and bloggers. Well done gu
