Lance's POVI watched quietly as Ian explained everything to everyone. I couldn't believe that he had gone in there just once and knew the details of the place that much. 'I thought you said you had only gone in there once,' I said to him when he was done with his explanation.'Yes. I went in and spent the whole day,' Ian responded.'From what Mara told me, Katrina might be in danger of molestation and humiliation but I doubt that he will kill her so we will have to strategize carefully how to go in there wipe out the entire place and leave without allowing anyone know that we were the ones who did it,' the Alpha said.'We can't call attention to ourselves right now. There is a lot going to happen in the future, I want you guys to be fully prepared before we unveil the fact that the golden wolf is here to stay,' dad said.'We are prepared,' Dominus said.'Yes, we know. But your team is not in one place. Asher needs to be done and ready. Alan needs to clean his mess and put his life i
Lance's POVAll afternoon and a great part of the evening we made plans. We strategized on how best to do the clean out of the Spot without raising suspicion to us or that we were connected in any way and at the same time expose the deceit of the Vice President. Plans were made and dropped several times before we reached a conclusion. Everyone on the team was going to be part of the raid.'We will take our cars for most part and park them at a reasonable distance and then travel the rest of the road in wolf form,' the Alpha had said after we had finalised our plans.'We need to bring extra clothes then. Will Maureen be traveling in wolf form too?' Dad asked.'I think it will be better if she doesn't. Incase we are seen by someone, they will simply think we are wolves migrating but if we have a golden wolf in our midst we will be suspected,' the Alpha said.'I can carry her all the way if need be,' I offered and Maureen blushed.'I can run fast if my wolf is on the surface,' Maureen h
Lance's POV'We do not have time to stay here to discuss whether he comes with us or not,' I said as Dawn looked pleadingly at everyone to spare Diego.'I was taken and brought here. They ran some test on my blood and deemed me useless. So they made me do odd jobs around here,' Diego said pleading as well. 'We have less than five minutes in here. Let's take this outside so that Rocha can finish up,' Dominus said and allowed Diego stand up. The guards have successfully tied The Vice President to a post outside the building. He was trying hard to unchain himself. For such a high ranking wolf, he looked disgusting tied down and growling. A building that was supposedly dilapidated had been kept in good shape just to torment others. I thought bitterly.'You will all regret this. I promise you,' he threatened as he saw us coming out of the building.We had appointed a soldier to tell him what his fate would be. We didn't want to use any of us that he was already familiar with because we
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
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
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 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
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,
Maureen's POV'Mara,' Dawn shouted making me raise my head to see Mara standing by the door and smiling happily at us. She looked so contented.Dawn stood up and hugged Mara. They developed a bond when they met and after Mara and her sister Adelia came to High Moon. Lucia was by their side by the time Dawn was done hugging Mara. Lucia hugged her tightly too smiling happily at Mara 'You look so contented,' Lucia said to her.'I wouldn't deny the fact that I am indeed happy Lucia,' Mara said happily then looked at me without her smile missing a beat and then said, 'Your Majesty.''You don't have to be like that Mara,' I said smiling at her. I dropped the book in my hands, walked up to her, and hugged her. I held her hand and led her to sit down on the couch.'Alan explained who you are to me after we left High Moon. I was very surprised at first but then the way you carried yourself and the way you act around people shows the fact that you have always been different,' Mara said. We we
Dawn's POVI walked into our room at the Alpha's house half expecting Asher to start talking and blaming me for what happened. I felt so ashamed of myself. We had gone to the pack hospital to get the wound on my neck cleaned and dressed. Asher had winced each time I hissed at the biting pain during the cleaning. On our way back to the house, Asher had held my hand tenderly. He hadn't said much to me so I didn't know what was on his mind. 'Let me get you water,' Asher said as he made me sit on the bed then turned to leave to get the water but I held his hand.'I am sorry Asher,' I said looking into his eyes. 'What are you sorry about Dawn?' Asher asked without blinking. I couldn't read his mind or guess what was going on in his mind. 'I am sorry for not listening to you. I am sorry for believing Diego and removing his chains,' I said as my eyes filled with tears. Asher stooped to my level on the bed and took my face in his hands, 'I am your mate Dawn and I can feel every emotion
Dawn's POVI had been nervous about going to see Diego. I knew I shouldn't but I wanted to. He was the only one in my life for a long time. I wanted to know what he had to tell me. Why he wanted to see me.I almost broke down in tears when Diego was brought out of the cell by the man Dominus had introduced as the head guard. He looked so haggard and dirty. He wasn't the person I used to know.When he asked me about his father and I told him his father was dead, something broke inside me with the expression on his face. I believed every word he said about wanting to tell me something that he wanted only me to hear. Asher was not ready to leave me with Diego and I understood his points but I wanted to hear what Diego had to say. My friends left me with Diego reluctantly. 'You have three minutes Diego. So you had better start talking,' I said without looking at him, the moment Asher and the others stepped out.'Do you now hate me this much Dawn? I didn't betray you. I could have told m
Maureen' POV'Wow, this place looks so different,' I said as we entered the former Alpha's house. The place was used by the former Alpha of High Moon, Dominus' grandfather as a getaway from the pack house.We used to go there as kids but it was not looking good then because it was mostly abandoned. Ever since Dad and the Alpha decided to build the Alpha and Beta houses close to each other, the old Alpha house had been mostly abandoned. 'Dad had been doing major renovations on it for almost two years now,' Dominus said.'I never knew of that. What did they intend to use it for?' I asked.'We started renovating it because we thought it was a legacy that shouldn't be destroyed. But when you said you wanted the golden wolf soldiers near, we decided that it should be used for that purpose since it has a lot of rooms in it,' Dad said walking down the stairs. As kids, we often got lost in the house while playing. Standing in the house at that moment made me wonder what the former Alpha was
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
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
