Lances POV

The 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

    Lance's POV'You will kill her Dom, please.' The words sounded like Deja Vu. Only this time, it was coming from me.I winced as the image of me strangling Maureen and Dominus pleading with me to let her go flash into my head. Somehow Dominus had gotten the idea that Lucia was behind the scandal and he had moved in on her. Thanks to my superb speed and Dominus' anger induced sluggish move, I got to Lucia before he did.'Dominus, you need to let us talk about this rationally,' Maureen pleaded. I could see she was as scared as I was. 'Dom please. You need to calm down,' I pleaded too. I have seen Dominus deal with threats a lot of time and they were not pleasant sights. I knew Lucia was his mate but I didn't know if his wolf would take insubordination from her. I watched as Dominus' eyes switched from his wolf's to his. 'Lucia, you need to submit now,' I said to Lucia while keeping my gaze on Dominus in case he went for the kill. I knew how much risk was involved in putting myself be

    Lance's POVDom and I stayed in the room silent. Not knowing exactly what to say to each other. The fact that the blogger said an insider gave the information was the most disturbing. I wondered who the insider could be.I was sure our parents would have gotten wind of what was happening already. They might not be the type for internet use but someone must have called them already. I dreaded their reactions.Our phones won't stop ringing so we had to switch them off. It was so bad that we had to block our mind links. I was even having a headache that seemed to get worse by the second. Maureen knocked at the door sometimes later and said our parents were downstairs. When she had walked in, my heart skipped a bit and my wolf stood at alert, wagging his tail in welcome. I had to get a good leash on him and push him to the back of my mind before he did something stupid like grab her. She wouldn't appreciate that. Dominus and I followed her downstairs with a burdened mind, hoping our par

  • My Brother My Mate    Suicide Letters

    Maureen's POVI woke up the following morning feeling happy. It's been a while since I woke up with any other feeling than anger or sometimes indifference. I had felt so sorry for what Lucia did to Lance and Dominus that I decided to forgive Lance. I don't know why I did, but it felt as if there was a force that was beyond me that wanted me to forgive him. After our parents had left the previous day, Lucia was still crying despite the fact that the matter had been resolved by our parents. I was glad that for the first time, Lucia felt bad about her action of getting even with people. She went too far. The reputation of an Alpha and Beta is very important to them as every wolf in the pack looks up to them as role models.'I am sorry Maureen, hope you can forgive me for this. Your brother and Dom got here just yesterday and I have already caused them so much problem,' she had said. Her eyes were swollen from crying so much and her nose was red from the constant cleaning. I felt pity

  • My Brother My Mate    Note to Parents

    Maureen's POVI paced the hospital corridor unable to sit down. I found it difficult to believe that Lucia would want to kill herself. She was the type that loved life. Or so I thought! Dominus had not waited for a stretcher to be brought out to take her into the hospital. He had taken her in while shouting like a mad man.I was beyond distraught. The doctors had taken her from us and as I paced I wondered what could be happening behind the closed door. It had been over forty five minutes since they closed the door.I was alone, waiting for any news at all. After the doctor had done their best to stop Dominus from following them in, Dominus had stormed out of the hospital while Lance had gone to try to get in contact with Lucia's parents. 'Hey, any news?' Lance asked coming to stand next to me.I threw myself in his hands and allowed the sob that I had been trying so hard to hold back flow without restrictions. 'She is going to be fine Reen. She has to be. For all our sakes,' Lance

  • My Brother My Mate    Awake

    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 POV'Ian must have known that I already met Lisa,' I fumed.'Why are you angry?' Grandma Gina asked.'He could have just given this to me when we were at Amman's pack and we could have simply headed off to Lisa's pack from there,' I said pacing Grandma Gina's room.'You need to calm yourself down child. Things are not done that way. If what you told me about Lisa is true then heading off to her pack immediately might not be the best. Her pack would need time to come to terms with the fact that their child was back before you barge in on them,' Grandma Gina reasoned.I sat down and thought about asking Grandma Gina about Ian. Maybe a part of the prophecy we didn't know talked about him.'Grandma Gina, was Ian mentioned at all in the prophecy?' I asked.'The bane keeper was not mentioned at all. The golden wolf kept him a secret that was probably why he had remained safe for this long,' Grandma Gina answered before asking me why I asked the question. 'Something in what Ian sa

    Maureen's POV'I guess your presence means you are back,' Ian said as he sat down beside me on the bench in the pack.'Yes. Obviously,' I said without looking at him.'How was the journey? Enjoyable?' Ian asked and I had to turn to look at him.'Are you being sarcastic? Enjoyable? No, it wasn't in anyway enjoyable,' I said in annoyance. I dropped the rest of the sandwich I was munching on before he arrived on the floor.'Good to know that you are angry. You will need that anger to propel you henceforth,' Ian said with all seriousness.'Why will I need anger to propel me? Besides, who will I be getting angry with?' I asked frowning.'You will find out,' he said before bringing out what looked like a folded paper. He placed it on the space between us and held it down with a finger.'What is this?' I asked looking from his face to the paper he held between us.'This is the map that will lead you to Rocha.' 'Who is Rocha?' I asked looking confused.'The one I told you that you need on yo

    Maureen's POVThe days after the revelation of the fact that Dawn and I are sisters had been very hectic so I had not been able to talk to her about anything. She was being herself and I was being myself around her. Although I had not felt any sort of connection ever since we met, I saw her like one of us always especially since she was part of the prophecy. Since the Alpha said the five of us would be leaving soon, I decided against calling Grandma Gina on the phone. Amman had really created a big mess. A mess of people's lives and a mess of his pack now ours. But after a day of rigorous work, things were beginning to take shape. I walked to a group of women that were taking down the number of kids whose parents were dead or who they didn't just see anymore to give them helping hand. I saw Dawn talking to some teenagers and telling them exactly what to do. As silent as Dawn could be, I was surprised to see her that she was really good with people.She looked up at the moment I w

    Maureen's POV'Is there something I need to know?' Lucia asked from behind me. Her voice startled me.'You startled me,' I said and turned to face her. We were in one of the store rooms in Alpha Amman's house. Our duty was to make sure that the soldiers divided the grains to the people accordingly. 'Of course you will be startled since your mind has been obviously wandering since we got here,' Lucia said.'What do you mean?' I asked feigning ignorance.'Your gaze has been on Dawn all morning Maureen, is there something going on?' Lucia asked. 'Yes am no. Nothing is going on,' I said and turned back to examine a bag of grain to make sure it was still good for consumption. When the Alpha had gone out with dad, mum, Dominus and Lance the previous day, they had worked with some of the elders who Amman had relieved of their eldership because they refused to cooperate with his wicked administration. They had successfully divided the people into different groups so that they could get re

  • My Brother My Mate    The Result

    Maureen's POVEvery word that came out of Mara's mouth cut into my soul like a sword. I never believed in my life that anybody anywhere could be that cruel and mean. Mara held on to mum like a drowning person as she cried bitterly. I saw that Lucia was crying too but I couldn't. I was angry. I felt so embittered by what innocent Mara had gone through.Mara's tears gradually faded into hiccups. She must be feeling broken. She was strong, no doubt. For her to have held so much pain in and helped us with the girls, she was indeed strong. 'Mara.' A voice called from behind us and that immediately made Mara lift her head from mum's chest and looked at her new comer.The girl was held between the doctors. She looked pale but that didn't hide her beauty. She had long beautiful lashes that hid her eyes behind them.'Lisa,' Mara shouted in excitement and ran to hug the fragile looking girl. Lisa? We all gaped at her. I couldn't help but wonder if it was the same disfigured Lisa that was lyi

    Lance's POVEveryone gaped in surprise at Mara. She was physically shaking and breathing hard. She looked so angry for the mild tempered woman we had met the day before.She wasn't satisfied with cutting the Gamma's throat obviously as she started stabbing him all over with the tip of the sword.'Mara you need to stop. He is dead already,' dad said as it seemed everyone one of us was too surprised to say anything.Mara didn't stop. She kept stabbing him non stop. 'Mara,' the Alpha called her name but she didn't answer. She just kept on with it until the Alpha stepped forward and got hold of her by the shoulder.'No. He has to die. Let me kill him,' Mara said lifting her face up. There were blood stains that came from the Gamma's body on her face and clothes. There was also a crazed look on her face.'He is dead already,' the Alpha said gently as he noticed the look on her face.'Then he must burn. He must burn right now,' Mara said as she started dashing around looking for something.

    Maureen's POVLucia and I listened to the noise coming from outside with trepidation. It sounded like the sound of war. My heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it wanted to just jump out and beat me on the floor freely.I tried mind-linking Lance to no avail. Lucia also tried Dominus and there was no response.'I can't continue to just stay here Lucia we have to see what's going on,' I said as I started pacing as worry consumed every of my being.'We can't defy their orders Maureen. Let us wait here,' Lucia said and I looked at her in surprise.'Since when did you start following orders Lucia,' I asked in amazement. Lucia was one person that was very daring.'Since I got mated to Dominus. He is a very dominant male, he liked to be listened to and obeyed,' Lucia answered.'So also is Lance. But this new you is quite surprising,' I said. Lucia didn't give me any more reply. Then I noticed something different in her that I haven't noticed before. Lucia was twisting her finger

  • My Brother My Mate    The Attack

    Lance's POVI woke up as I felt Dominus pressing into my mind link. I gently removed Maureen from me to avoid waking her up. I checked the time to see it was already six o'clock in the morning. I had barely slept for three hours.I opened the link and grumbled a not so gentle, 'What?' into the mind link.'Lisa is awake,' Dominus said.'What do you mean by she is awake?' 'That is what the doctors said. You need to come down,' Dominus said and cut the link.I looked at Maureen on the bed with her golden hair spread all over the pillow and wondered if her touch had actually healed Lisa. Lucia had said she didn't see the ball of light but I did. I was very sure that I had not imagined it. It actually happened. I stood up to change from my pyjamas so that I could go downstairs and see what was happening for myself but then I stopped Maureen would want to be there too. Despite the fact that I didn't want to wake her up when she had just had little sleep, I gently shook her awake by her

  • My Brother My Mate    The Doubt

    Lance's POV'Reen you need to calm down,' I said for the umpteenth time.'What if I wasn't meant to touch her? What if she dies quicker because of my careless move?' Maureen asked looking too worried for her own good.'Either you touched her or not she would have died. It might have been a coincidence that you touched her at her very last moment,' Lucia said and I sent a grateful look her way.'No. it wasn't coincidental. I felt warmth go out from me into her,' Maureen argued.She was right. She had felt the warmth and I had seen the bright light that processed from Maureen into Lisa.I knew Lucia also saw It but she was trying to make Maureen calm down so that we could talk about it. I wished at that moment that Grandma Gina was around. I had asked Maureen and Lucia to accompany me to see Lisa for the last time because I wasn't sure I would be able to stop myself from breaking down. I had expected that their presence would help me keep it together. When Maureen had suddenly started
