Guilty as Sin

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

    Lance's POV'To think I was beginning to feel guilty about deceiving him,' Dominus said as we entered into Grandma Gina's cottage. We didn't discuss much in the vehicle on our way back to Grandma Gina's pack. Ian had simply said the former president was guilty and kept quiet. We all realised that he was battling some kind of emotions so we let him at least sort through them before we got to Grandma Gina's cottage.'What happened at the former president's house, Ian?' I asked as we all sat in her siting room. 'Can you guys give me a second to grab something to eat, you had lunch but I didn't,' Ian said as he got up. 'I put bread on the kitchen table and there is butter there as well. You can manage that till we make dinner,' Maureen shouted after him. 'Maureen I saw your reaction when that man came in to whisper inti the ears of the former president and the saccharine smile you gave Lance after showed that something was wrong,' Lucia said to Maureen.I thought I was the only one wh

    Dawn's POVA day after those heading for the former president's house had left, we had breakfast with everyone present at the dining except Grandma Gina.At the table we had discussed Maureen and the others' movement. The Alpha had said that the former president's call that Maureen and the others can't spend the night at his house sounded suspicious. I could just only hope they would be fine.After breakfast, Asher said he wanted to teach Rocha something on the laptop so I had to excuse them since I wasn't interested in whatever they had to do.When I followed Asher and the soldiers to his pack, he wanted to teach me one or two things on how to use a laptop but I just wasn't interested. He had teased me relentlessly about it and eventually let go of the topic when he discovered that I was truly not interested and he couldn't talk me into becoming interested.I headed for Grandma Gina's room knowing she would be more than happy for the company. Besides, she didn't come down for breakf

  • My Brother My Mate    Excellent

    Dawn's POVI woke up with the feeling of someone's hands against my scalp. It was so soothing that I snuggled deeper into the warmth that encompassed me. I opened my eyes and the vision of Asher's strong abs came to view. I smiled remembering what hours ago had been like. He reached for me one more time before we finally fell asleep. 'Tell me you didn't drop that towel on purpose Dawn?' Asher said and I bit down on my lips pretending I was still sleeping.He couldn't see my face since my head was on his chest so I closed my eyes and tried my best to imitate the way my breath would be when I sleep.'I know you are awake Dawn. Stop pretending,' Asher said applying pressure to his touch on my scalp. The pressure was not enough to cause pain but it was enough to make me stop pretending.I raised my head to look him in the eyes. His lashes were lowered so I wasn't able to read the look in his eyes. 'I might have dropped it intentionally,' I said closing my eyes but not totally closing th

    Maureen's POVNone of us not even the Alpha or dad recognized the two people in the other pictures. There was one female and a male. I was so disappointed that a female was also involved in the whole thing. It angered me. How could she be indifferent to the suffering of young females? She should be empathetic towards them!'What I am very sure of is that when we smoke out the former president, these other two will surface,' I said confidently.'I have never met them anywhere,' the Alpha said frowning.'One of them actually looks familiar but I am not sure,' Asher said frowning deeply as if he was trying to figure out where he had met him. 'Which of them?' I asked.'The female,' Asher answered.'The female?' Dad asked.'Yes but I am not so sure. After I did the drawing was the first time it occurred to me that she looked familiar but my mind was occupied with something else so I didn't dwell on it. But looking at the picture again just now, the feeling that I know her came back,' Ashe

    Maureen's POVIt was dark outside by the time we were through meeting at the Alpha's study. My mind was made up that I was going to talk to Ian, whether he liked it or not. As we were about to leave the office, I discovered that Ian had already disappeared but I refused to be discouraged. When we got to the room, Lance had expected me to just freshen up, and he asked for our dinner to be brought to us, but I changed into black trousers and Lance's round-neck shirt. 'I was expecting you to have your bath. Why did you change clothes?' Lance asked as I stepped out of the walk-in closet.'I want to talk to Ian. I want to know who that girl is to him. He defended her so greatly,' I said.Lance sighed and stopped from the chair to stand in front of me and rubbed his hands up and down my arm.'Ok, mama. I know you want to desperately talk to one of your children; I am not going to stop you, but let me come with you. It would be irresponsible of me to allow you to go out alone at this time

My mate will get worried if we over stay,' the Luna said again for the umpteenth time and, as we had been doing all day, we laughed.The Luna and mum had dragged us out of the house to allow them have fresh air. Dawn, Lucia and I had no option but go with them. The Alpha had said we were allowed to go for just three hours which we accepted and that we should take guards with us because he couldn't risk his pregnant mate's safety.Dominus, Lucia and I had gone to the Luna's chamber after breakfast to spend some quality time with her. We met mum there and we had breakfast with them. We talked at length about everything and anything until Dominus had to excuse himself. After Dominus had left, the Luna had said she needed fresh air and before we knew it, Dawn was drawn into the plan and it became an all girls outing. 'We should go like seriously. He has been pressing into the mind link for like fifteen minutes now. It wil

    Maureen's POV'I wish we could just go back to the former president's house and raid the place,' Lucia said hissing as she scrolled through the pictures Ian had taken at the former president's house.'I wish we could too but if we dare to do that we will ruin everything. We are dealing with corrupt high ups here. They will label the attack as a rogue invasion or say they had rescued the girls the previous day and those they took them from came back to attack the nice and courageous former president. Did you see the way he twisted Sandy's story around?' I said to Lucia.'That man is an evil genius. No one could have thought he was lying through his teeth. He is a perfect actor, believe me,' Lucia said.'I was so impressed with you guys when Lance was saying how impeccable you were with your actings at the former president's house. It is a good thing that I didn't go along, I doubt if I would have been able to pull it off,' Dawn said.'Believe me, you would have when you knew exactly wh

They are even calling for the Council to search the former president's house,' Lance said as I sat in front of the mirror combing my hair.It was night already, two days after Ian gave the go ahead to put our plans in motion and we were about to go to sleep. Earlier that day, Asher had released edited pictures and videos of the orgy in the former president's house.He also released the unedited pictures of the former president's mate. The only thing we left out was the secret underground passage because that is where they will use when they want to move the girls.We were depending on the strength of the voice of every wolf in the kingdom. They could easily say the matter was a set up. In fact, the way they were defending the matter actually made me realize that attacking the former president's house would have been a very wrong move.'The voices of the people are our strongest point right now but some are

    Maureen's POV'What is the sitting arrangement?' Dawn asked when we got to where our cars were parked at Rolling Hills. We had to wait till we were sure that no reporter was straying into that part of the hideout before we started back to Rolling Hills. Asher had carried Dawn's mother on his back to Rolling Hills. She was too weak to walk the distance. Dawn had refused to walk alongside Asher. She walked beside Ian to Rolling Hills. It was late in the evening when we got to our cars. I knew why Dawn asked the question. She didn't want to sit in the same car with her mother, knowing well that Asher would want that. 'I guess your mum can sit with Ian and Rocha,' Dominus said before I could answer. Rocha helped Dawn's mother into Dominus' car while the rest of us got into Lance's car. If we were fast enough, we would be in High Moon by morning. I didn't bother to wear my wig. It was of no use anymore. It had already served its purpose. Besides the rain ruined it and I was not ready

    Maureen's POV'Did you say Dawn? Do you know her? Where is she?' The woman with the mismatched eyes asked when she heard Dominus mention Dawn's name. 'Ma'am we don't have time to explain but I think you might have to come with us,' Asher said taking the decision out of my hands. I pulled at his hands and took him out of the room. Lance followed closely behind us.'Asher, do you think this will sit well with Dawn?' I asked frowning at him.'Don't worry, I will bear the consequences of this. She doesn't want the issue of Talon mentioned around her, will she do the same to her mother? It is time she faced reality,' Asher said.'I am not so sure about this Asher. I share her reservation in having anything to do with Talon and...' 'Guys we need to get out of here,' Dominus said cutting me short. He brought with him the two girls that were kidnapped from the council. They looked so battered and starved. 'Relax Maureen as I have said, I will face the consequences of her reaction. Let's t

  • My Brother My Mate    Crossroads

    Maureen's POVIt was dark by the time we entered Rolling Hills. Asher had taken over the wheel at some point so Dawn was sleeping in the front passenger seat. While Lance and I were in the back seat. Our car was in the front. 'I will advise that we pack our cars where we know it will be safe in Rolling Hills and make our way to the unclaimed land. We stay there for the night and head off to the hideout in the morning,' I said and Lance nodded. We entered Rolling Hills to see that there were still protesters in the streets. We didn't go near them but we parked at a distance where reporters' vans were parked and got out of the car. We each took our backpacks from the car and headed towards the east of Rolling Hills. We walked for almost two hours before we picked a spot and I erected the house. I slumped onto the chair after the house was up. 'What next?' Ian asked.'We stay here till morning and move in on the hideout in broad daylight?' I said.'Anyone wants to eat?' Rocha asked a

    Maureen's POV'My eyes have refused to go back to their normal colour since they changed earlier,' I said as I stood looking at the mirror in front of me. Lance and I were in our room retired for the night. We take off first thing in the morning towards Rolling Hill. Rolling Hill was a hot zone at that moment because protest was going on every day calling for their Alpha and his Luna to step down. No one was going to suspect our going there since it seemed the protest crowd kept getting larger every day. Anyone would think we too were going there to see what was happening. Rolling Hill was a whole day's journey from High Moon. But we were prepared. My only concern was that my wolf seemed tired of hiding. My eyes just wouldn't go back to their normal colour.'What is their normal colour?' Lance asked as he stood up from the chair where he was busy pressing his laptop. He came to stand behind me in front of the mirror.'Are you seriously asking me that question?' I asked raising a br

    Maureen's POV'What do we do with Linus?' Lucia asked as we sat deliberating on what our next line of action should be. 'Dominus and I will move him to the dungeon,' Lance said. 'He will disappear when his body becomes dry,' Lucia said. 'Don't worry I have that covered,' Lance said winking at Lucia. Then got up to leave the room but surprisingly enough, Shanty fell straight into the room. She had been leaning on the door! 'Shanty?' Ian said standing up slowly.'You said he was dead, you said you killed him. Why is he being moved to the dungeon again if he is already dead?' Shanty said as she stood up from the ground eyes blazing. 'You were not supposed to be eavesdropping Shanty. It is wrong,' Ian shouted at her. 'I was looking for you. You have refused to talk to me. I wanted us to iron things out,' Shanty said defensively.'And you think eavesdropping on my friends and me was a good way to iron things out?' Ian was livid and I know that one says hurtful things at a time like t

  • My Brother My Mate    Family Betrayal

    Dawn's POVI came awake slowly and stretched my body. I reached for Asher and I was disappointed to see he wasn't there. The space he had slept in was still warm so I knew he stood up not long ago. I heard the tap go on in the bathroom and I knew he was in there. I blushed remembering what the previous night had been like. Asher never fails to pay attention to details when it comes to making love. He took time to make sure I enjoyed the experience every time we made love. I blushed harder when I remembered how I moaned breathlessly and came undone under him last night. 'If you are blushing that way, should I be proud of the fact that I satisfied you?' Asher asked leaning on the bathroom door. I didn't notice when he opened it. 'Don't embarrass me, Asher,' I said turning my face away from him.He walked up to the bed and sat at the edge pulling me to him. He kissed me lightly on the nose and then captured my lips with his in a sweet toe-curling kiss that had me clinging to him. The

  • My Brother My Mate    The Dream Link

    Asher's POVI was going out of my mind looking at Dawn's closed eyes as she lay on the bed sleeping deeply. 'She will be fine Asher. Relax,' Maureen said looking worried herself.'Do you even believe what you are saying?' I asked Maureen because I couldn't bring myself to believe she would be fine. It wasn't Dawn's first time going into people's minds and she had never had this type of reaction.'We need to be optimistic Asher, she will be fine,' Maureen said.'Remember that your mate is a fighter, she will be fine,' Lucia said placing a placating hand on my shoulder. I knew that Dawn was a fighter but I just couldn't bring myself to be optimistic. I was scared, there was no denying that. The door opened as Grandma Gina and Dominus walked into the room. Grandma Gina walked to Dawn on the bed and placed a hand on Dawn's face as if feeling her temperature.'Can any of you connect with her in the mind link? Try talking to her,' Grandma Gina said.Everyone concentrated on their mind li

    Lance's POVIan and I waited for the others to join us at the door of the holding cell behind the Alpha's house before we proceeded. I noticed that Ian's previous mood seemed to have simmered but the anger was still there.'How is Shanty?' I asked trying to find out if they were able to have the much-needed talk.'I don't know. I need to sort my thoughts before I can think of her right now,' Ian said. I could see that he was still angry. 'I know you don't need opinion but I think you should be careful with her if she is still in love with that douchebag. The matter of the heart is a delicate one. I don't want you getting hurt and I am saying that sincerely,' I said.'I am the older one here. I should be the one dishing out advice but I will not deny the fact that as old as I am, I don't know how to deal with this strange feeling,' Ian said shaking his head from side to side as if he was trying to dispel a thought.'It is the oldest feeling and it incapacitates one once it gets hold o

    Maureen's POV'Can one of you explain why you haven't bothered to tell me anything since you returned from your last trip?' The Alpha asked again as we settled in his study. Dominus had pleaded with the Alpha and Dad to allow us all to discuss in his office so we followed them to the Alpha's office.'I don't know about others but I intentionally didn't mention it because I don't want to distress Mum,' Dominus explained.'And the rest of you?' The Alpha asked looking from one person to the other.'I am sorry. It is a painful topic to me and I decided to not talk about it at all,' I said defensively.'And you think that is a wise decision?' The Alpha asked looking straight at me.'It is my decision and I don't see why I need to explain myself to you,' I said in a voice that was purely my wolf's. 'You might not need to explain yourself to your team but I deserve to know whatever affects my pack and my family,' the Alpha said getting up from his seat with anger burning in his eyes.My wo
