Dominus' POV'Mum, can I come in?' I asked as I stood before my mum's room door. The door was half opened but I didn't want to just barge in. 'Just a minute please,' she answered from inside. Her voice sounded muffled.After what seemed like three minutes she asked me to come in. One look at her and I knew why her voice sounded odd. She had been crying!After Dawn had told us her secret. Grandma Gina had insisted that she would take her under her wings but dad had insisted that they should give her a room in one of the mini flats in the pack house. She was warned to stay in her flat and shouldn't step out until she was asked to. Even then a soldier would be directed to bring her. After she had left with the soldiers, mum had excused herself to use the bathroom but I knew better. From her rigid posture I knew something was wrong. So I followed her after ten minutes of waiting for her to return. She had obviously been crying and covering her sobs with her hand to prevent anyone fro
Maureen's POVAfter 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
Dominus' POVI sat down nervously on Lucia's parents' couch waiting for them to come downstairs. Lucia had gone upstairs to tell them I was around.After I spoke to Maureen and entered the house, Lucia had told me that her parents called and they said they would be around so we could come. She called them earlier in the morning and they said they would be available by mid day. When she told me they called, I instantly felt unsure.Lucia had let us in with her spare key. All the way to the house she had reassured me several times that her parents would love me.'They would love me of course. I am officially the most handsome boy in the pack,' I had joked even if my heart was in turmoil.As I sat in their sitting room waiting for them, I felt very nervous. 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? Would Lucia stand with me if her parents said they don't want me? What would it do to our mate bou
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
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,
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
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'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
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 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
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
