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'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 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 POVI sighed tiredly as I sat on the grass behind the Beta house. Grandma Gina had been at it with us all since that morning.I couldn't help but wonder how a woman of her age got the strength to match ours like that. She started with Lance. She set a stop watch for him to get to the end of the field at a set time and made the time shorter till he could actually get there in seconds. She had made me heal flowers. She would cut the flower half way and asked me to make sure it went back to its normal self. It was rigorous and draining. Lucia had walked into every solid thing in the house in the last three hours since the training started.I had the chance to sit down because Grandma Gina was working with Dawn and she was taking a nap herself.'Do you think it is natural for Grandma Gina to be this agile?' Lucia asked as she came to sit beside me on the grass. 'I am beginning to think she has an ability too,' I said.I stretched myself on the grass and rolled to the left th
Lance's POVI had not expected to meet everyone downstairs when I came down. I had expected that they would be at the back of the house in the shades waiting. My intention was to wear my shirt when I was about to go outside.So instead of just feeling embarrassed at the fact that I was caught red-handed going at it with my mate while we were supposed to be training, I had simply comported myself and said hi.Dominus had not included the fact that they were all waiting in the sitting room when he mind linked me. He had only said that the Luna was around and he had told her that Maureen and I had gone upstairs for further training. That was why I had laughed.I saw the look Maureen was giving me and knew instantly that I had invited trouble. She was blushing so much that her face looked as if it would blow up in minutes.I saw Grandma Gina and the Luna exchange glances and smile. Lucia giggled quietly and Dominus' cheeks blotted up in his attempt to stop himself from laughing out loud.
Maureen's POV'Mara came all the way down here because she said she wanted to see you guys. Do not delay in releasing her. She and the girls are still going to the pack house,' the Alpha said to us as we welcomed Mara and the other girls into the house.'I knew that the Alpha told you that my sister was found and I knew you would want to know how it happened that was why I pleaded with the Alpha to let us come here first,' Mara explained as we all sat down in the sitting room. Mum and dad had retired to their room, so also the Alpha and the Luna.'I will be lying if I say I am not curious about the fact that your sister is still alive,' I said smiling at her.Mara was about to say something when she suddenly looked at the door that led into the sitting room from the kitchen and sprang to her feet. 'Dawn,' Mara shouted as she wrapped Dawn in a friendly embrace 'Come meet my sister'. She pulled Dawn by the hand to where her sister was sitting. Adelia got up to greet Dawn.'Meet my sis
Lance's POVThe day after the Alpha's arrival saw everyone busy. We had to supervise a lot of things. There was influx of pack members from the new pack that the pack house was filled to the brim.Dad had explained to me in the morning how the Alpha had divided the people into different sections with each of the sections having a head. Irene's brother was overseeing the pack in the absence of dad and the Alpha. He was of Beta blood and he could do it. 'Mara is truly strong you know?' Dominus said. He was standing beside me as we supervised some of the young wolves who were moving dirts away from the training ground. Mara was helping the girls arrange a demarcation on one end of the training ground. 'She is. But I guess we all have our limit to endurance. I nearly wept with the way she broke down the day she killed the Amman's Gamma,' I said as the vivid memory of Mara crying so brokenly came to my mind.'I hope whatever therapy dad intends for her and the other girls work,' Dominus
Lance's POV'Remember what I told you. Call immediately you discover or even suspect that something is not right,' dad reiterated as they saw us to the waiting car. Dominus would be driving while I would take the front passenger seat. The girls would be sitting in the back seat. Two soldier vans were to follow us to the border of Royal Pack and after we meet Alpha Asher's Beta at the border, they would turn back.'Do not worry dad, mum. We will be fine,' I said trying to reassure them.'We know that you have all somehow found favour in the eyes of the Moon Goddess but still you need to be careful,' the Luna said and we nodded. 'Let them be on their way already. They are not kids anymore. They carry the future of the entire wolf world on their shoulders,' Grandma Gina chided.We all laughed at the way she rolled her eyes whilst saying that before giving our parents hugs and saying goodbye. Dawn hugged Grandma Gina a tad longer and I couldn't help as our discussion the previous after
Maureen's POV'Maureen,' Asher shouted my name before he flew at me and we both fell on the ground as an arrow flew over our heads.Lance and Dominus immediately jumped into action as they ran towards the direction the arrow came from. As they ran towards the direction, another arrow flew right towards Lance and he threw it off with his sword. Dominus became invisible at that point and the arrows kept coming for Lance aggressively. I quickly got up from the ground as I gazed after my mate in worry.'Thank you Alpha,' I said to Asher and he simply nodded his acknowledgement.The arrows stopped and Dominus appeared with his hand firmly holding a male wolf by his clothes. We walked towards them quickly as Dominus made the male wolf kiss the ground in front of Lance.'Who are you?' Lance asked in a booming voice that clearly belonged to his wolf.'You are trespassing,' the male wolf answered.'This is an unclaimed land. I believe it should have a free passage,' Dominus said.'It belongs
Maureen's POVI stood still for the second time in five minutes. 'Why do I feel as if we are being followed?' I asked no one in particular. I just wanted to know if anyone else felt what I was feelingWe had set out on the journey for the search very early. As early as six o'clock am. We didn't eat breakfast but we packed sandwiches and juices in our back packs courtesy of Asher's house keeper. 'You might be feeling like that because Ian had implied in your discussion that he was at Amman's pack with you,' Lucia said shrugging,'The feeling is so strong. I felt it two days ago when we went out on Dawn's insistence to have a look at Royal Touch,' I said.'If I tell you something, promise me you wouldn't freak out,' Lance said and we all stopped walking to look at him.'What is it Lance?' I asked looking at him nervously.'I think Ian is actually following us. I have seen him briefly once or twice,' Lance said and we all gaped at him in pure disbelief.'Are you trying to spook us,' Lu
Dawn's POVTo say I was nervous would be an understatement. I woke up feeling nervous. I had a mate! It was such a novelty for me. I had hoped for a life that would involve other people while I roamed the forests and bushes of unclaimed lands. But at a point I had given up on that dream.I had brushed my teeth and had my bath rather early. Despite the fact that I didn't sleep early, I still couldn't wake up late. I was looking forward to the discussion I was to have with Asher. I tied the bathrobe and wrapped my wet hair in a towel before stepping out of the bathroom. I had a major scare as the door to my room suddenly burst open. Maureen and Lucia walked in without the courtesy of knocking first. 'What are you two doing here? It is rather too early,' I said looking at them in surprise.'We know, right. We were thinking that just maybe we might find Alpha Asher here,' Lucia said sounding overly dramatic.I rolled my eyes at her. I had noticed that Lucia liked blowing things out of
Lance's POV'Somebody should wake me up. Am I dreaming?' Alpha Asher said as we all sat in his study after Maureen had declared that Alpha Asher was a part of her mission.Dawn covered the light projecting from Alpha Asher's torso with her hands when it became obvious that the light wasn't dulling off anytime soon. Maureen had slumped and I had to catch her before she got the ground. 'You are not dreaming Alpha Asher. She is the golden wolf,' Lucia said. Maureen was still leaning against me as it seemed as if the experience had sapped her of her strength.'You mean the golden wolf is a female?'Alpha Asher asked.'You have a problem with that?' Maureen asked sitting straight.'No. I don't have a problem with it. The thing is we had always thought the golden wolf would be a male. He was a male the last time going by the record,' Alpha Asher answered still looking surprised.'I guess the golden wolf decided to choose the perfect sex. Don't you think Alpha?' Lucia asked.'It sure did,'
Lance's POV'We might have to call Grandma Gina to confirm what he said,' Maureen said as we explained everything Alpha Asher has said. 'We need to be sure he is saying the truth. He might be lying for all we know,' Lucia said and Dawn growled at her.'I am sorry. I didn't mean to do that,' Dawn apologized as a slight blush tinted her cheeks.'He is your mate Dawn, it is natural for you to defend him. I should not have called him a liar. I am sorry. I am just confused,' Lucia apologized to Dawn.'I understand you perfectly. There is no need to apologize,' Dawn said calmly.Dominus picked his phone and called Grandma Gina. 'Hello my boy,' Grandma Gina said happily. 'It's so good of you to call this tired old lady after calling everyone and exempting me.' Dominus rolled his eyes but he still couldn't hide the smile that pulled at his lips. 'Dawn called you grandma,' Dominus said.'Of course that is because she is my only grandchild,' Grandma Gina said sarcastically.'I am sorry gran
Lance's POVI had stopped Alpha Asher from following Dawn for two reasons. One I knew from experience that she would not want him to follow her like that and there was every possibility that she would not talk to him.Two I thought it was best to let her confide her worries to someone who could calm her down first before he went to her.I actually pity him. I was once in a situation like his and I knew it wasn't easy to feel helpless and your mate unreachable.'You need to sit down Alpha. I believe things will fall into place. Just give her some time,' Dominus said sympathetically as Alpha Asher paced back and forth looking up the stairs.He came back to sit down looking agitated. None of us could eat. Even Lisa looked confused but she asked no questions.After about thirty minutes we heard footsteps on the stairs and we looked up to see Maureen leading Dawn down the stairs.Alpha Asher quickly stood up. He was gazing at Dawn's face as if he could somehow see what was going through he
Maureen's POVI watched in surprise as the Alpha of Royal Touch approached Dawn with his eyes a replica of one of Dawn's eye balls. His eyes were midnight dark like Dawn's right eye. His wolves eyes!Then it occurred to me that when he came to pick Lisa up, I had thought that his chocolaty eyes looked familiar. It was the exact color of Dawn's left eye. His own eye color!At first, Dawn allowed him to hold her in a very tight embrace but then she gently let go of him and stepped back. 'Hi.' She said to him smiling but I could see that the smile didnt reach her eyes.'Hi,' Alpha Asher said as his eyes returned to their normal colour. 'Can we all go inside?' An elderly woman said beaming with smile.I guess she was very happy that the Alpha found his mate. 'We will follow you inside in a minute please can you just excuse us for some minutes, we need to talk to Dawn?' Dominus said gently but that didn't stop Alpha Asher from growling at him.'We promise to be with you in few minutes
