Dominus' POV

I had spent almost the whole day with Lucia indoors. At some point Maureen had called Lucia on the phone asking why she was not in Grandma Gina's room as discussed.

I had heard Lucia tell Maureen that she and I had somethings to talk about.

'So we really have something that I don't know about to discuss, right?' I had teased her after she dropped the call.

'I don't want her to know yet,' she said frowning.

I gently rubbed the spot between her brow. 'Don't frown like that all the time. You might get wrinkles too early,'I flipped her nose. 'What were you girls planning to do in Grandma Gina's room?'

'I forgot to tell you something when you returned yesterday.'

'I would not blame you. It wasn't possible to remember anything in that type of mood,' I winked at her playfully and she blushed.

It was lovely to watch as her blush crept up her entire face.

'Stop teasing me Dom,' she said shyly.

'Is it just me or do you actually look more beautiful today?' I asked as I got closer

    Maureen's POVI woke up the following day giddy with expectation. The Luna had actually promised Lucia and I a day out. 'You have been smiling to yourself since you woke up. Want to share the secret of your happiness?' Lance asked. He must have noticed my mood since I woke up.'The Luna is taking Lucia and I out,' I replied.'Really, where does that leave us?' Lance asked raising a brow playfully.'You, who?' I asked smiling teasingly. 'You know. Dominus and I,' he answered.'Are you guys not going to the training ground?''No, today we are free and our new recruits too are free to relax for today,' Lance said.'Oh really? Are you guys being slutty at what you are given to do?' I asked raising a brow.'What do you mean. Can't we have a day off?' 'A day off from training? Who gave that type of order?' I asked.'It was dad,' he replied smiling at me triumphantly.'Is still doesn't mean you can follow us,' I said and laughed sticking my tongue out at him. Lance caught me before I cou

    Maureen's POVLucia's scream made my head ring with confusion. But luckily enough for us, the first person to arrive on the scene was Lance.He summed the whole scene up in a glance and quickly closed the door and locked it to prevent any of the domestic staff from seeing what was going on.'What is happening to her,' Lance asked looking at Lucia in bewilderment. The answer we would have given Lance was interrupted with a bang on the door.'Maureen, Lucia, open this door this minute,' the Luna ordered from outside the door.Lance quickly opened the door to see that the Alpha was with the Luna. They both stepped in before Lance relocked the door.'Are my eyes deceiving me?' The Luna asked exchanging surprised looks with the Alpha.'How did you guys pull this off please?' The Alpha asked casting an accusing look over the four of us.'Alpha, I am not pulling anything off. I wanted to get something from the refrigerator. I got down from the stool and tripped. I thought I was lucky to no

    Maureen POV'I am off to the training ground Reen,' Lance said the next morning. 'Is it not too early?' I asked stretching like a cat. I had told him to wake me up whenever he was going to the training ground each morning.I didn't like the idea of waking up to an empty space beside me. I wanted to know when he was going each day. Lance had said he couldn't bring himself to disturb my beauty sleep every morning but I had insisted that he woke me up before he left each day.'It is almost six o'clock. Training starts at six.''I know. Lucia and I would be going out with the Luna today,' I reminded him.'Yeah I remember. You girls should have fun and my regards to the queen of drama,' Lance said smiling playfully.'Are you actually making fun of my best friend right now?' I asked feigning annoyance.'You and I both know your friend likes adding drama to everything. I couldn't believe that she was not in any kind of pain yesterday,' Lance laughed, probably remembering what happened yest

    Lance's POVI broke every speed limit possible to get to Maureen. The Luna had mind linked me saying something was wrong with Maureen but they were back home. I didn't bother to wait to explain to Dominus what happened. Even if I explained, he would not have understood a word because I would probably not have made any sense. I heard Dominus call me severally as I dashed out of the training ground on top speed and shifted into my wolf in mid air. Every other thing faded as my thought was consumed by Maureen. I quickly shifted back when I got to the house, I was naked but I didn't care. I met the Luna and Lucia in the sitting room both pacing frantically. 'Where is she?' I asked looking around as if I could see the immediate threat. 'Oh my goodness. Lance you are naked,' Lucia shouted in suprise and covered her eyes with her hands.'Where is Maureen?' I asked again paying Lucia no mind.'She is upstairs but she has locked herself in there since we got back,' the Luna explained.'

    Lance's POV'Dominus, can I come in?' I asked as I knocked at his door. The door opened and I stepped in to see that it was Dominus who opened the door. He looked a bit rough and unhappy. I knew he would have been very worried for his mate. I saw that Lucia was still lying on the bed, sleeping.'How is she?' I asked looking at Lucia's sleeping form.'She is fine I think. She ate something and said she wanted to sleep.' 'What about you? Are you okay? You look unhappy,' I said.'Come in and sit down, Lance,' Dominus said closing the door and led me to the sofa. 'You know Maureen would never hurt Lucia intentionally, right?' I asked Dominus when we were seated. 'I don't even know what to think, believe me. I am torn between protecting my mate and standing with my sister,' he said rubbing his hand on his face. 'What do you mean?' I asked confused.'I am beginning to doubt our safety with Maureen around,' Dominus said with worry evident on his face.'Maureen would never hurt any of

'I understand why you are charging into this head first and I appreciate it a lot' I said to the Luna.'If you understand why I am doing this, does that mean you heard everything we were discussing just now?' The Luna asked.'Yes. Not everything but I heard enough to make me realize that my delay in marking my mate was risky,' I said.'I thought I caught your scent in the air but I thought I was just hallucinating because we were discussing you and Maureen.' 'Thank you so much Luna. I appreciate this,' I said appreciatively.'I would do anything for my child. Besides, the next few days after words get out about the fact that I am her birth mother might be tough. Take care of my girl, Lance,' the Luna said looking deep into my eyes as if she wanted to peek into my heart.'Maureen is my mate and

    Maureen's POVThe preparation for Lucia's formal introduction to the pack had totally taken my mind off the incident where I nearly killed Lucia.I saw the excitement in Lucia's eyes and also the nervousness. The thought of the fact that she will be introduced as the future Luna must be very overwhelming for a simple girl like Lucia. 'Do you think the pack will accept me?' She had asked the previous night when we were picking the best jewelry for the cloth she was going to wear for the ceremony. 'Why won't they accept you?' I asked looking at her as if I wanted to scold her.'You know I am plained face. I don't think I am beautiful or charismatic enough to be a Luna,' she said sadly.'Are you fishing for compliments?' I asked raising a side of my mouth'What do you mean?' She asked looking confused.'You know you are beautiful Lucia. If you want me to reassure you, just say it,' I answered.'I am just nervous,' she said and I laughed at her. By the time it was morning Lucia was twi

    Maureen's POVLance held my hands above my head and looked deep into my eyes.'You know better than to threaten me like that Maureen,' he said. 'You were doing your thing with Cybil, what do you expect me to do, applaud you?' I asked with anger still in my voice.Do you mean you want to allow other people to touch what is mine?' 'You allowed that whore to touch what is mine. Why can't I do the same?' I asked defiantly.Lance didn't say anything anymore. He simply took my lips with his. At first, I felt reluctant to reciprocate his kisses but as it became more intense, I had no option but to yield to him.He kissed me so hard as if he was trying to convey a message. I felt my insides melt. 'I will make love to you then mark you so that the whole pack and every wolf will know you are mine,' Lance said into my ears after he had removed his lips from mine.I shivered as goose pimples spread all over my body at Lance's voice. He gently released my hands and started unzipping my dress.

    Maureen's POVI could see that the golden wolf soldiers were restless as the fake golden wolf and I faced each other with eyes blazing.'I usually do not like killing females, but you are giving me no other option,' the fake golden wolf said, making me roll my eyes. His continuous talking was making me feel as if he was stalling. 'And why don't you like killing females, weakling?' I asked frowning deeply.'Females are nothing but weak, feeble things,' he said chuckling alone.'Now I know why they decided to pick you and experiment on you. Your arrogance must have triggered their conclusion. Nitwit,' I hissed loudly.'How dare you call me a nitwit?' He screamed in anger and before I could decipher what he wanted to do, he sent a ball of fire out of his hands straight at me. The fire got to me and engulfed me. I heard Lance shout my name in agony as the golden wolf soldiers growled out loud. I felt no pain so I knew the fire had nothing on me. The fire surrounded me and even danced on

  • My Brother My Mate    Finally

    Maureen's POVI watched as soldiers joined hands together to pack the dead wolves into a heap afar off from the field. They would be buried or burnt later, depending on what the High Moon generals deem fit. I stood up from where I had been sitting on a tree trunk for over thirty minutes. I didn't feel the pain in my chest anymore but I still felt sad. I didn't see Dominus and Lance at first where they stood with their faces looking grim. I frowned because of the look on their faces. I walked up to them and Dominus was startled as if he had been lost in thought. Lance hissed under his breath. I knew that frustrated gesture. He did that whenever he was hiding something that he thought you shouldn't find out for your good. Asher ran back from helping the soldiers and stopped where we were standing. He fidgeted for a while before he tried to excuse Lance. I looked at Dad and the Alpha to see they were in deep conversation. They were whispering but it was obvious that the subject was a

    Ian's POVAll through the wait for the council's president and his minions to arrive, I was restless. There was a feeling of immense sadness that settled over my heart. Shanty's face kept flashing into my mind. I just couldn't place my hand on what was wrong. 'Are you okay?' Rocha asked me. He must have noticed the way I kept sighing and wincing. 'I don't know. It seems as if something is wrong with Shanty,' I whispered back to him.'How can you tell?' Rocha asked making sure he was talking as low as he could to avoid bringing attention to us. 'Her face keeps flashing in my head and I have this overwhelming feeling of sadness,' I replied.'What do you intend to do?' Rocha asked. 'I will not be needed here once the battle starts. I will run to the Alpha house, check on her, and be back as soon as I can,' I answered, and Rocha nodded in understanding. We were all surprised when Rocha's mate showed up at the site of the battle. I felt a little relieved that I would not be leaving Ro

    Maureen's POV'They are fifteen minutes away from us,' Ian said, sweating profusely. He had run back to us from spying on the approaching council entourage. 'Who are those leading the war?' Dad asked. Dad and the Alpha had refused to back down from the battle. The Alpha had insisted saying it was his pack and he must fight to protect it. I understood his points so none of us argued with him. The traitors had declared war on his pack and he had to defend his honour. 'Rogues are leading the battle,' Ian snorted.'That is very manly of the new president. Rogues are leading the battle for the wolf council,' Lucia said bitterly.'Since he isn't a mere male, why is he not leading the battle against a mere female?' Dawn said hissing.'It is good that he will be eating his words soon enough. Get everyone ready general. They will soon be on us,' the Alpha said, addressing one of the High Moon's generals. All the golden wolf soldiers were ready. They had been standing since we got to the pl

    Maureen's POV'We should choose the ground for the war not them,' the General of the High Moon army said as we all sat in the pack's conference hall for a meeting. It was three days after their imposed and fake president declared war on High Moon. We had to let the High Moon soldiers in on our plans since the war was declared on the pack they were meant to protect. Every member of the golden wolf team was present at the meeting. Dad and the Alpha were also there. The two generals of the High Moon army were there as well with some of their high-ranking soldiers.'How do you think we should go about that general?' I asked him not because I didn't know what he was talking about but I wanted him and the others to know that contributions are important as well.'We need to move the fight away from High Moon. Give the spot of the fight and High Moon a reasonable distance,' the general explained.'Where do you suggest we stay to welcome them?' I asked sarcastically.The general nodded at on

    Maureen's POVThe moment I saw the way Rocha stood glued beside the president's older daughter, I knew he found his mate. I was elated for him. He had been through a rough patch in life protecting what he didn't know was real or not. He deserved all the happiness. 'I know we are not safe yet but I want to thank you so much for deeming it fit to be gracious my family Alpha,' the president said to the Alpha as we entered the house prepared specifically for the president's family. They were all drenched from the rain except the younger daughter. 'It is a pleasure, Your Excellency. Feel at home and you can banish the thought that you are not safe. I have soldiers on standby to parade this house to keep you and your family safe. 'It is obvious that your older daughter is mated to my team member so a threat to you is a threat to me. I take care of my own, Your Excellency,' I said looking at Rocha and Torrent's joined hands with a smile on my face. 'Your Majesty, please don't call me tha

    Asher's POVIt took me three minutes to realize that the rain was getting heavier and wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Torrent was crying happily in Rocha's hands as they hugged each other as if their lives depended on it. It was as if they had forgotten that we existed. The door of the car conveying the president and his mate which I was driving opened and the president's mate was out of it in a flash running towards me. Realizing what she was doing I quickly walked towards her to stop her from going any further. 'She is going to drown us. She has to stop crying. Else there will be a flood,' the president's mate shouted as I got to her. The rain was getting heavier.'What do you mean?' I asked frowning. I had to shout so loud for her to hear me because the rain was getting heavier by the minute.'Torrent has to stop crying, else there will be flooding,' she shouted.'You mean she is the cause of the heavy rain?' I asked.'Yes. The worse her tears, the worse the rain and it could

    Asher's POV'Be careful out there Asher,' Dawn said that morning as I left the Alpha house to meet the golden wolf soldiers that would be going with me to the council to escort the president and his mate to High Moon. 'I will be fine Dawn. Take care of yourself. I will be back soon,' I said kissing her on the head. When I got to the former Alpha house, the other golden wolf soldiers were already waiting for me so we set out immediately. I hand-picked fifteen golden wolf soldiers to make sixteen of us. Our journey to the council was uneventful and we saw nothing suspicious on the way so I reported back to Maureen. Maureen told me to seek out the president's mate when I get to the council. She also told me where she would be.When we got to the council, I went straight to the president's mate to inform her that we were ready whenever they were. I was stopped by a soldier when I wanted to enter the room but the moment I mentioned that I was from High Moon, I was let into the room.She

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.
