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
Lance's POVI was going crazy and I knew it but I couldn't help it. The moon goddess must be playing tricks on me. It was my eighteenth birthday but it was my saddest.My wolf had happily tackled my sister to the ground in happiness in the presence of all that were there to celebrate my eighteenth birthday.As the future Beta of the park, it would have been disappointing if I didn't get my wolf. It had happened before in our lineage and this had made my parents especially my mum very anxious.My grandfather was not the direct bloodline of the Beta post but according to history his elder brother who ought to take over from their father never got his wolf.At first, they had thought his wolf was only delayed for a particular reason but when he didn't get his wolf at the age of twenty-five, my grandfather who was twenty years then was asked to start training.According to my grandfather, the training was difficult and draining and he nearly gave up. It wasn't easy to train to become a Be
Lance's POVI heard a soft knock on my door but I ignored it. I was sure it was one of the kitchen hands coming to wake me, probably on Mum's instruction.I had turned all night trying to sleep. I had gone through my own birthday party like a zombie. The idea that the moon goddess gave me a crazy wolf was enough to keep me awake all night. So I wasn't ready to get up that morning.The knock came again and I ignored it, thinking the person would go away when I refused to answer. I waited for another three seconds and dosed off to sleep.My sister's smell was all I smelled in the house now so I wasn't ready to strain myself to get who was at the door specifically.I was drifting off to sleep when suddenly somebody jumped into my bed. The instance the person's body touched mine I knew who it was. My wolf became too alert for my liking.'Shit, Maureen what are you doing here so early?' I shouted at my sister the instance I got on my feet.'Lance, I have always done this in the morning,' s
Lance's POV'Lance stop, let her go,' Dominus shouted at me, his voice piercing the haze covering my senses. I dropped her and started shivering.I couldn't believe I almost killed my sister. I had warned her to stay away from me. I avoided going home because of her. I was going crazy and my wolf was not helping matters. He yearned for her like a pervert. I was going to go mad if care wasn't taken. I had to stay as far away from her as possible until my crazy wolf got back to his senses. I had found her sleeping in my room days before, I had to strip the bed of every layer of clothing on it just to get rid of her chocolaty scent. It was bad enough that her smell hung around the house, even in the surrounding bushes.I had cried on Mum's bosom that morning too overwhelmed with wanting her and trying to stay away from her. I was not about to commit incest because some stupid wolf thought nothing of it. If he was crazy, I was sane. It was an endless war between me and my wolf. In the m
