Lance's POV

I sat down on Maureen's other side on the bed holding her hand as she explained everything she saw in the dream. The room was silent as everyone patiently listened.

I had almost gone mad when she didn't wake up after I started shaking her to wake up. I knew she was dreaming because she kept calling Katrina's name over and over again.

My thought was that she was dreaming about her because that was the last thing she must have thought about before going to sleep. I had thought that I only had to shake her awake.

I shook her several times but she didn't wake up. She just kept mumbling and squeezing her hands so hard that they became red from the effort.

I had wanted to raise alarm about it but she beat me to it and started screaming so loud that the entire neighborhood could hear.

Everybody ran into our room and tried waking her to no avail. When she finally opened her eyes, I felt as if a heavy load was lifted off my head. I never wanted to go through what I went throug

  • My Brother My Mate    An Alarming Change

    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,

  • My Brother My Mate    Darkness

    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

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.

    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?'

    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

    Lance's POV'Lancelot tell me it is a lie,' my mum fumed immediately I entered the pack's hospital room where my sister laid hooked to a machine. I walked towards my mum holding my hands in front of me as if I was praying.That day after I ran, I stayed away from home. It's been two days. Only Dominus knew where I was. I couldn't face my parents, look them in the eye and tell them I almost killed their daughter. Despite the fact that they weren't that close to Maureen, I knew no parent would want their child dead. I walked towards my mum carefully, unsure of how emotionally stable she was. She was after all a Beta wolf. No amount of love she has for me can stop her from hurting me if her wolf decided to punish me for what I did and I was sure my wolf would not lift a finger in defense because of two things. One, she was my mother, two, it would be an opportunity for my wolf to see me punished. He has been going mad in my head for the past two days. 'Mum, I am really very sorry. You

  • My Brother My Mate    Lucid Dream

    Maureen's POVI was too disturbed to listen to the conversation going on around me. Katrina was going through a lot already so the idea that her former tormentor took her again didn't sit well with me. 'There is no way to prove that he took her. Beside, there is no way he would have done it. He was with us all through,' the Alpha said.'What if one of his minions did it for him?' the Luna asked. There was a possibility of that because soldiers had reported that three of the Vice President's entourage were sniffing around the house when we were inside welcoming him. The soldiers had been told to keep an eye on them. What if one of them had sneaked away to do the Vice President's dirty job at that moment. 'We need a clear thought here. So please I need everyone to calm down,' the Alpha said.By everyone, he meant everyone. The sitting room was filled with everyone that had connection with Katrina. Adelia and Mara were there trying desperately to calm down. Even Ian that disappeared

  • My Brother My Mate    Missing

    Lance's POV'You did a good job Ian. Kudos to you,' the Alpha said patting a beaming Ian on the back.When we had made all the plans, I had feared that Ian might not be able to pull it off. I voiced my reservation and he assured us that he could do it as far as it had nothing to do with spilling blood. It had been important for us to make everything believable. Elder Nat, the Alpha and dad had come up with the plan.We were told about the plan and we agreed immediately.Dominus could have been the best person to do it but he was the Alpha's son and the Alpha needed to project a united family front. Dominus' absence would have been too conspicuous.'But this is not the end. He will be back or preferably let me say that he will keep investigating us. People like him don't back down easily,' the Alpha said. We were in the sitting room of the Alpha house. We had just gotten back from the field with elated moods.'I think that Asher and the soldiers can return now?' I asked.'That depends

  • My Brother My Mate    His Voice

    Maureen's POV'Can you please clean up the guest room on the left?' The Luna said to one of the staff as we led Mara up the stairs. She was no longer crying but she looked weak and unhappy. The Luna had said we should take Mara to her room. We couldn't talk in that scattered room. 'I need to go see the girls,' Mara said again tiredly after Lucia and I made her sit down on a chair in the Luna's room. 'I can mind link a soldier to get Adelia to check on the girls. Only on the condition that you tell me exactly what is going on,' the Luna said to her. Mum came out of the bathroom with the first aid box and got to work on Mara's right hand. The cut was already healing, but she had to get the glass shards out so that the wound could heal properly. Mara winced when Mum removed a shard that was stuck on her middle finger. When Mum was through, she applied ointment and wrapped it in gauze. I was sure it would heal in minutes. 'Mara, what happened?' The Luna asked again. 'I wanted to co

  • My Brother My Mate    Unwanted Visit

    Maureen's POVI lay in Lance's hands all through the night wondering why I felt as if I just lost a child. I had felt an instant connection with the soldiers when I met them.When I met Alan too, it was the same feeling. I had not wanted Lance to feel jealous that was why I didn't tell him how I felt towards Asher since the first time I laid eyes on him in Amman's pack. My hatred for the Council's Vice President was so great that I shook from the effect. 'Reen are you okay?' Lance asked and made me turn to face him on the bed. He must have noticed the way I trembled.When he saw my eyes, he gasped in surprise, and I knew immediately that my eyes had changed color. He placed his palm on my cheek and caressed me gently.'You need to calm down, my love, or else you will give yourself out,' Lance said.'I do not care. I am ready for war. That fool thought he could use what is mine and get used away with it.' I was staring at Lance from my mind, my wolf had taken over.'He is not going t

    Lance's POVI had to call Dominus' phone before I could get him down to the Alpha's office. I lied to him that the office was on fire and waited for him outside the office. He was breathless by the time he got there.'What the hell, Lance? Why did you lie to me like that?' 'I have tried reaching you through the mind link to no avail, so I called,' I said, shrugging.'That still doesn't excuse your lie,' Dom said breathing hard. He must have been really scared. 'Metaphorically speaking, it is on fire. The Vice President of the council is on his way to collect Alan's corpse,' I explained to him.'What? Alan is not dead. How do you produce the corpse of a living man?' Dominus asked frowning.'Elder Nat is in there with our parents. He said he had an idea of how we could go about it. That was why your dad said I should go get you,' I explained.Dominus walked past me, opened the study door, and went straight in. I rolled my eyes and followed him in. 'You had your walls up. We have been

  • My Brother My Mate    Coming For Corpse

    Lance's POV'I refuse to talk to him alone,' Mara said stubbornly. 'I don't even know if I can trust him not to manipulate me.' 'Mara. It is a good thing that you know that a mate's hold on you is powerful so you will be prepared if the need be for you to resist his manipulation,' Dad said to Mara.'Besides that, why will he want to talk to me when all he will eventually do is reject me when he discovers my past,' Mara said.She was nervous; it was all over her face. She thought Alan would reject her immediately after he heard what she had been through at Amman's house. Alan was at that moment not in the place to reject anyone. After he had broken down and cried because of the way he was betrayed, he calmed down and begged the Alpha to allow him to see his mate. Alan had said he wanted to see her because he didn't know what his fate would be. He had seen her in the dark and he wished to see her in broad daylight. It was almost evening though but there was still enough daytime to s

    Lance's POV'I need you to tell this young man the things you went through at Amman's house,' the Alpha said to one of the girls that were with Mara and the others at Amman's house.'We will understand if you can't. Nobody is forcing you,' Dad said to her.'No, it is okay. Mara called Adelia that there was someone who needed to be enlightened about the things we went through in Amman's house and I volunteered. Besides the therapist said the more we talked about our experience, the better the trauma would become,' she said smiling at Dad.I couldn't deny the fact that most of the girls we brought back from Amman's house were strong-willed. I couldn't comprehend how they still found it easy to smile so sweetly after everything they had been through. The girl narrated everything to Alan. He was looking at the girl all through her talk as if he was in total disbelief.'Thank you so much, my dear girl, you can return to the main house, a car will take you back to the pack house,' the Alph

    Dominus' POVI stretched my hand and reached for Lucia as I came out of my restless sleep but she wasn't there. I was startled at first and sat straight.Then I remembered. It had been a lonely night. I had slept alone because Lucia had spent the night with her mother. I couldn't argue with her. They needed each other. I felt someone pushing into my mind link and I opened up. It was Dad. 'Good morning, dad,' I greeted him.'We will be heading down to give Alan some eye-opening facts. If you wish to join us, you should be ready in about an hour,' Dad said into the mind link.'Ok, dad. I will be downstairs soon,' I said and closed the mind link. I stood from the bed and went into the bathroom with heavy footsteps. I wasn't happy. The sadness I was feeling wasn't mine alone. Lucia was letting her guard on the mind link down on and off and her emotions kept seeping in. How could I possibly be okay when my mate was grieving? I was grieving too. That was like joining two heavy hearts to
