Maureen's POV

By the time I had spoken to two of the girls, I almost broke down. They had gone through a lot that I found so unbelievable.

There were fifteen girls that we could talk to except for Lisa who the doctors deemed irredeemable. The atmosphere was so tensed as we questioned the girls.

At a point after the pack doctor had told them that Lisa might soon succumb to her pains, they had huddled together and cried. The doctor had said it was hard for Lisa's body to fight the wolf's bane since she hadn't gotten her wolf yet.

Mara was assigned to encourage the girls to talk to us and give us information that we needed so that we could help them.

I was assigned three girls while Lucia also had three girls to talk to. Dawn was assisting mum with the rest of the girls.

We were to ask them for their names and the original packs they belonged to and made sure everything was documented.

'What is your name?' I had asked the first girl that I was to question. She was silent for sometime b

  • My Brother My Mate    The Doubt

    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

  • My Brother My Mate    The Attack

    Lance's POVI woke up as I felt Dominus pressing into my mind link. I gently removed Maureen from me to avoid waking her up. I checked the time to see it was already six o'clock in the morning. 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

  • My Brother My Mate    Amman's Gamma

    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

  • My Brother My Mate    Mara's Breakdown

    Lance's POVEveryone gaped in surprise at Mara. She was physically shaking and breathing hard. 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.

  • My Brother My Mate    The Result

    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

  • 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

  • My Brother My Mate    Going Home

    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    The Map

    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

  • My Brother My Mate    Suicide or Murder

    Maureen's POV'I am beginning to think one other gift I don't know I have is getting worried,' Dawn mumbled as she paced the sitting room of the Beta house. 'What do you mean?' I asked looking up at her from the magazine I was pretending to be reading. We have been waiting in the Beta house for two hours. I had picked the magazine in the bid to find something to do. Every other person including Rocha was sitting but Dawn had been busy pacing up and down as if she had an itch on her feet. At a point, Dawn had gone outside then came back in looking frustrated.'I am the only one who seemed worried here. You all look so calm as if nothing is wrong,' Dawn's reply brought me back to the present. 'Can't one of you just mind link them and ask what is going on?' Dawn asked as her voice rose a pitch higher than usual.'We don't want to distract them in case they need to concentrate,' I answered.'What if they are keeping a tight lead on the bond to make sure nothing passes through it to yo

  • My Brother My Mate    The Rescue

    Maureen's POV'I am so restless right now,' Dawn said as we sat and waited in the house. We got to where Dominus heard Elder Mattias saying the girls were to be picked from well before night fall and I opened the compass so that we could comfortably wait in the house for them.Once in a while we looked out of the window. The place was a plain field big enough to contain three big houses, we picked the extreme end to wait. We have waited for hours with no sign of them and I was beginning to think we had the wrong location. Dawn had been able to show Asher the map from Dominus' mind and he had done it beautifully. I was not surprised that the location was right outside Amman's territory. He was a pervert like them so allowing them do business near his pack territory wouldn't be an ado. The Alpha and dad didn't come with us. I smiled when I remembered our conversation the previous night when we had gone to them about Cybil's issue.'We will take care of Cybil, you take care of your du

  • My Brother My Mate    Cybil's Snooping

    Maureen's POV'Maureen, can I come in?' I heard Mara call from outside the door without knocking. I smiled wondering why she was doing that. I just came back from the Beta house after talking with the soldiers and I was feeling low. Lance had excused himself to join the others in working on the house. The one controlled by the compass. I wanted to go with him but he said they wanted to surprise the girls so I decided to stay back and wait for either Dawn or Lucia to come back from the Beta house. I walked to the door and opened it for Mara to come in. She looked nervous and I had to look at her keenly to see if I could see what was wrong in her eyes.'Mara, you look nervous. What is the matter? Is Katrina okay?' I asked when I couldn't place my hands on what could be the matter with her.'Katrina is okay. She will be fine. I guess. I came to see you about something important,' Mara said and I pulled at her hand to make her sit so that we could talk.'Hope all is well with you and A

  • My Brother My Mate    The Gift

    Maureen's POV'Are you saying they want to leave?' I asked Asher the following morning after he called that he wanted to discuss somethings with me about the soldiers. 'They need to. Except for Alan, there are three others that are mated amongst them. They yearn for their mates. Besides, staying at the Beta house is no longer convenient,' Asher explained. Lance and I were in the room he shared with Dawn. Dawn had excused us when Lance and I got there. I asked her to stay but she said she had something to attend to and left.'Those that are mated can bring their mates down and we have already decided to build them a place to stay,' Lance said.'That won't do Lance. The best thing to do is to let them go back to Royal Touch. They can resume their normal lives there and whenever you need them, you can summon them. It won't even take a second,' Asher reasoned.'I think I understand what you are trying to say. Back at Royal Touch, they are just like every other pack member but here they

    Lance's POVI decided to go downstairs and drink water after Maureen went into the bathroom. I had not drunk any after dinner because I was in a hurry to follow her. I entered the kitchen and switched on the light. No staff member was in sight as everyone had retired for the night. I went to open the refrigerator to get water and a bottle of wine caught my eyes. After I drank the water. I decided to to sit down with a cup of wine and allow Maureen calm down before I go back into the room. I had been sitting for more than fifteen minutes nursing my wine when I felt someone pressing into the mind link. I excitedly opened thinking it was Maureen. I was disappointed when Dominus' voice asked me if we could talk.'I am in the kitchen. Come,' I said and closed the link sighing in disappointment. 'What are you doing in the kitchen at this time. Trouble in paradise?' Dominus asked from the door way some minutes later.'What are you doing here at this time wanting to talk to me? Are you ma

    Maureen's POVMy anger was boiling over by the time Lance and I got to the room back at home. I refused to talk to him all through the drive back home. It was late by the time we got back home so the Luna insisted that we eat dinner before going to our separate rooms. We agreed and had our hands watched in the kitchen before settling down for our meals. The Luna looked distracted and nervous. She and the Alpha kept stealing glances at each other and sometimes looking at Dominus in a way I couldn't understand. I took my mind off my own anger for a moment to observe everyone. Mum was smiling secretly. Sometimes she looked at dad and they would both look at Dominus and smile as if they knew a secret he didn't. 'Mum, is everything okay?' I asked and to everyone's amusement both mum and the Luna answered together that there was no problem.'I guess we need to work out something about you calling the both of them mum. This kind of confusion is inevitable,' the Alpha said smiling at me.

    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'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

    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
