Maureen's POVI couldn't believe that I had grabbed Lance in the least expected place. His face was as red as a ripe tomato. I gaped at him in surprise with my eyes wide like saucers.'I am sorry I didn't know it was your thing,' I said pointing at his obvious erection. 'What thing?' He asked looking more embarrassed than I was.He was standing up facing me while I knelt on the bed. He was wearing only his boxer briefs. 'It was poking me in the back and I thought it was your foot or something,' I tried to explain, hiding my embarrassment to no avail.'You could have simply woken me up,' he said in a calmer voice. I guess he was beginning to realise that I was close to tears.'I am sorry Lance,' I said unable to look at him.'It is ok. It is not your fault. I should know better than to spoon you like that.''But we used to share the same bed before you...' I could not finish the sentence as I didn't want to bring up a memory I was trying to bury. Lance approached the bed and gently
Maureen POVI felt something cold on my face and I quickly opened my eyes. My gaze met that of Lance. He was bent over me looking sweaty. 'Lance?' 'Yes? Were you expecting someone else?' He smiled boyishly. A smile that made spark dance down my spine. 'Why is your hand so cold?' I asked sitting up in bed.'That will be because I have been outside. And the cold outside is killing,' he explained'What are you doing in my room?' 'I came to ask you what your plans for your birthday are,' he answered, pulling the chair closer to the bed so that he could sit close to me.'I have no plans Lance.' 'Really?' He asked with a brow up.'Yes. Is it a must that I have plans?' I asked yawning and stretching at the same time.The gap in my nightgown opened slightly to expose a bit of my cleavage. I didn't miss how Lance's eyes heated up at the sight. I quickly covered up and I blushed. If I said I wasn't enjoying the attention I was getting from Lance, then I would be lying. Seeing the effect I
Maureen's POVLucia's birthday was finally here and I had decided to get her a gift even if she insisted she wanted to be with her parents alone. I had asked Lance to come with me but he said he had other things to attend to. Lance was the one who advised that I asked Dominus.When I called Dominus he was more than happy to come along. He said he would like to get Lucia a gift himself and would want to get my opinion on it. Lance also asked me to buy a gift for Lucia on his behalf. Although I didn't know what business he wanted to take care of that made him leave me in Dominus' care, I didn't question him. The previous day, he had returned home late. I asked him where he had been and he shouted at me asking if he was a toddler that needed monitoring. He later came to me to apologise and I forgave him thinking there must be something bothering him which he didn't want to share yet. Dominus and I had to go gift shopping alone. I had fun and I never knew Dominus could be a fun guy t
Lance's POVI stood open mouthed staring at Maureen. How could her eyes be gold in color? It was pure insanity to imagine it. 'Maureen, why are your eyes that color?' I asked worriedly. 'What color?' Her voice even sounded different.'Your eyes' color is all shade of wrong Reen,' I said backing away from her as she came closer. I was not moving away from fear but it seemed the best thing to do in that situation.'What is it Lance?' She asked looking confused. Suddenly her eyes went back to normal.I released a sigh of relief. 'Your eyes changed color just now. Are you ok Reen?' 'I am ok Lance,' she said but she suddenly looked at me suspiciously. 'Are you pulling this stunt just to get out of what you did?' 'I am not lying Reen. Your eyes are not supposed to change color until you get your wolf, even if you have, how can it be that color? I have never seen that color in my life,' I said with surprise still evident in my voice.'What color are you talking about Lance?' She asked lo
Maureen's POVI knocked at Lucia's door gently while I glanced back at Dominus as I heard him start the car. Lucia opened the door with her easy smile.'Is that not Dom, Why didn't he get down to say hi?' She asked looking disappointed.'It seems he is in a hurry to get somewhere.' 'Really?' Lucia asked stepping aside to allow me into the house. 'Are you sure about that?' 'What do you mean?' 'It seems as if he is avoiding me?' 'Avoiding you?''Yes. Ever since the incident, he seems not to want to have anything to do with me.' 'Don't over think things. Besides, Lance said that in two weeks they both would be appointed as the trainers of the newly recruited warriors. So his mind might be occupied,' I said trying to not make her feel bad. We entered her room and I sat on the chair while dropping the gifts by the table. Lucia didn't notice the gifts yet as her mind was preoccupied with her thought on Dominus.I had suspected too that Dominus was avoiding Lucia. I had not been able t
Maureen's POVI had a lot of fun with Amelia, Lucia's wolf, until she had to shift back. I gave her our gifts but she refused to open them until later. We didn't sleep all night. We talked about everything under the sky. We talked about meeting our mates and what life was possibly going to be like. 'Is Amelia beautiful?' She asked with a look I couldn't identify.'I showed you in the mirror. Didn't you see?' 'I saw her but I want your honest opinion, is she beautiful?' She asked impatiently.'Are you feeling insecure right now?' I asked looking at her suspiciously.'No, I am not feeling insecure. I just want your opinion that is all.' 'Hunnnn, I don't know,' I said teasing her.Her shoulder slumped. 'So she is not that beautiful right?' 'I was only teasing you. Amelia is gorgeous,' I laughed.'So you think our mate will like us?' 'You are beautiful and so also is Amelia. Your mate will be lucky to have you both.''Can I confide in you about something?' Lucia asked looking toward
Lance's POV'l should leave the party and go somewhere to wait her transition out and see how it goes,' I had said to Dominus on the day of Maureen's birthday. It would soon be midnight. 'And what excuse will you give to Maureen and your parents?' Dominus asked looking at me as if I was a child throwing tantrums. 'Stop looking at me as if I am stupid. You and I know what is at stake here. What if my wolf jumps her wolf and starts claiming her as his?' I asked throwing my hands up. 'It might not happen.' 'What if it does? I insisted.'Maybe I should get a tranquilizer ready,' Dominus said with a shrug.'I am not a wild dog,' I sneered at him.'You are making yourself sound like one. Look, you and I know that going away from here is tantamount to suicide. Maureen will roast you over a burning flame and I am sure my mate would give a helping hand. Besides, I am not ready to be blamed of advising you wrongly.' 'What do you mean blame you for advising me wrongly?' I asked wondering wh
Maureen's POVWe walked hand in hand to our parents' office not minding the glances we got on the way from the domestic staff in the house. Lucia followed closely and quietly. I knew she was nervous but she simply didn't question me. We had a lot of time to talk. As we approached the door, we discovered that dad and mum were in a shouting match.'You can't lock my son away like a common criminal,' I heard mum shout.'Why can't you be reasonable. He was going to mark his sister if we didn't act fast,' dad shouted back.'She is the one you ought to put behind those bars. For all we know she might be a danger to us all. What kind of specie is she?' Mum said still on top of her voice.'You need to calm down and talk quietly. She might hear you,' dad said pleadingly.'At this moment, I can as well scream down the entire neighborhood. You locked my son up and you expect me to calm down?''He is my son too, remember? And I have his best interest at heart,' dad said. It seemed to calm mum d
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
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
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 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
