Maureen's POV

We 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

Is this story going to be updated anytime soon?? Also, the “An Ally” chapter - is it from a different book or is it an intentional addition to expand the book? Because as it is, it makes no sense in connection with the rest of the story.

  • My Brother My Mate    Grandma Gina

    Lance's POV 'This is all so complex,' I said feeling so confused. Our resemblance to the people in the book was uncanny. I couldn't help but wonder. They looked older but there was no mistaken the resemblance. 'How do we get to the root of this?' Lucia asked. 'I say we leave our parents and their explanation for now and pay your grandmother a visit,' Maureen suggested. 'How many hours will it take us to get to your grandmother's place?' Lucia asked. Grandma Gina was Dominus' maternal grandmother. So she lived in a different pack. I have met her several times when she came visiting and a couple of times Dominus and I visited her beautiful cottage. She was a lovely woman. 'If we set out now, we will get there before dark,' Dominus answered. 'Then I will say let's go now,' Maureen said with determination. 'We still need to hear what mum and dad have to say,' I said. Maureen rolled her eyes at me and said, 'We will know what they have to say later when we get back from Dominus'

  • My Brother My Mate    The Chosen One

    Lance's POVWe all sat round Grandma Gina's table waiting for her to start talking. Maureen had been so confused with Grandma Gina's action that she burst into tears. My wolf immediately swung into action. He pulled her away from Grandma Gina to hold her to our chest. She held on to my shirt as she cried. I was sure she was ruining the sky blue shirt but I didn't care. 'Grandma what are you doing?' Dominus had asked his grandma pulling her up. 'My eyes have seen the chosen one Dominus. It is she, I am very sure. Do you know how many years I have waited for this day?' His grandma insisted.'Yes grandma. I know you have waited for years but still we need to be careful. Anyone can hear you outside here. Let's go inside then you can see her to your heart content.' The old woman had grudgingly agreed to stand up. She smiled at us and said, 'The team is almost complete.' Whatever that meant we didn't know.We entered the spacious cottage and I was surprised to see that nothing was amiss

  • My Brother My Mate    Mysterious Dream

    Dominus' POVGrandma and I had exchanged a look that was filled with meaning during dinner. The others might not have gotten what she meant but I did. I could only hope that whatever secret mum was holding unto was not going to break our family into pieces. I had gone to pack my things and inform my parents about my intention to help my friends but I got a shocker. My parents were fighting!Throughout my growing years it had never happened. I knew they fought but not like that. 'I don't want to talk about anything,' mum had shouted at dad.'I told you to do away with it but you wouldn't listen. Now see what you have brought upon us?' Dad shouted right back.'I told you then and I am still insisting that I will never ever take an innocent life,' mum said with anger in her voice. 'Now that the secret is about to be revealed how do you feel? I told you that no secret could be hidden forever but you had the perfect plan,' dad said shouting still.I had opened the door at that point an

  • My Brother My Mate    The Waiters

    Maureen's POVI didn't sleep the rest of the night neither did Lance. I didn't want to sleep and dream about the scene I saw again. I had never witnessed war. The feelings was so raw and real. I couldn't believe someone somewhere would be wicked enough to slit people's throat like that without remorse. Lance wouldn't stop asking if I was ok all through the night. I pleaded with him to go back to sleep but he wouldn't. Lucia too was very reluctant to leave my side but Dominus had somehow reassured her that with Lance's presence, I would be okay.When it was dawn, we quickly got dressed and got ready for information from Grandma Gina. 'This whole situation is making me anxious and worried' I said to Lance as we waited impatiently.' You are not in this alone Reen. I am right beside you. So also are Lucia and Dominus. So please do not worry too much. Everything is going to be okay' Lance said reassuringlySome minutes later, Dominus mind linked Lance that they were ready so we all mo

  • My Brother My Mate    The Legend of Unity

    Lance's POVWe stopped more than twice while returning home,so that Grandma Gina could walk around a little before she would get to sit down again. Although she laughed it off each time but we made her do the stop and walk around so that her legs would not become painful when we eventually got home. We arrived quiet late due to our incessant stops on the way. Dominus insisted that we all stayed at the Alpha's house together. Although I knew he was doing it more for himself than all of us. I smiled knowing he didn't want to let go of Lucia just yet. If we went to the Beta's house, Maureen might insist she wanted Lucia with her so Dominus took the opportunity of the fact that Lucia and Maureen would want to question Grandma Gina more and suggested we stayed at the Alpha's house.The girls obviously didn't detect his motive so I said nothing and just played along. His parents were not home when we arrived. I asked Dominus about it and he said they were at the Beta's house. He said he

  • My Brother My Mate    Girl's Night

    Maureen's POVI couldn't sleep that night. Wondering about what Grandma Gina had said. I wondered if the knife was still out there waiting for the right time to be used to kill me. I glanced at Lance, he was in deep sleep. I couldn't blame him sleeping. He must be very tired. He had not had a good sleep in days. When I discovered that I was too restless to sleep and I didn't want to disturb Lance's sleep, I decided to go down to the kitchen to see if I could get a drink. I first tested to be sure that Lance's hold on me had relaxed. When I was sure, I stood up and headed for the door. I smiled when I thought of how he held me so close when we got to the room. Something in what we learnt about the first Unity must have put him in such protective mood. I didn't question him because I didn't know if it would make it worse or better. Better let the sleeping dog lie.I got up and left the room as silently as I could. I made my way to the kitchen to find Lucia sitting on the kitchen sto

  • My Brother My Mate    Tètè a Tètè

    Dominus' POVI was breathing hard by the time I got upstairs. My wolf was trying to take control. I matched into the bathroom to avoid talking to Lucia just yet. I needed to control myself and calm my wolf, else he would mark her either she wanted it or not and I didn't want that to happen. 'We need to mark her' My wolf growled at me as I rested my hands on the washing hand basin in the bathroom'She is not ready' I growled back at him'If she is marked then we would be able to sense her and her wolf easily' My wolf reasoned'I know. I don't like this panic I have each time she is not close by. But we can't force her to accept the marking. We need to be patient' I said trying to make my wolf calm down 'My patience is beginning to wear thin' He said and closed the link.I sighed in relief when I started feeling calm. I could sense Lucia pacing in the room. When I opened the door, she immediately burst into tears and broke my heart into tiny pieces'I am sorry Dom. I didn't mean to u

  • My Brother My Mate    Intense Moment

    Maureen's PovI walked into the sitting room hand in hand with Lance. Mum looked at our joined hands and frowned but she didn't say anything. We greeted them and sat down. The Alpha was almost pressing a nervous looking Luna to his chest. Dad sat looking as rigid as an iron rod.'Where is Dominus?' The Alpha asked 'I am here' Dominus answered as he came in along with Grandma Gina. He had obviously left Lucia in the room to sleep. I knew Lucia would not want to be in the meeting. She would prefer to rely on whatever she heard from us after the meeting. I couldn't help but wish Dominus would mark her soon so that she would realise that her place should always be beside Dominus Dominus looked nervous and tried to hide it with a warm smile. I wondered why he was nervous. But then shouldn't our worry be his? He was Lance's best friend after all.Dominus made sure Grandma Gina was seated before he had his own seat.'Should I call one of the servants to get you tea grandma' Dominus asked

  • My Brother My Mate    Lucid Dream

    Maureen's POVI was too disturbed to listen to the conversation going on around me. Katrina was going through a lot already so the idea that her former tormentor took her again didn't sit well with me. 'There is no way to prove that he took her. Beside, there is no way he would have done it. He was with us all through,' the Alpha said.'What if one of his minions did it for him?' the Luna asked. There was a possibility of that because soldiers had reported that three of the Vice President's entourage were sniffing around the house when we were inside welcoming him. The soldiers had been told to keep an eye on them. What if one of them had sneaked away to do the Vice President's dirty job at that moment. 'We need a clear thought here. So please I need everyone to calm down,' the Alpha said.By everyone, he meant everyone. The sitting room was filled with everyone that had connection with Katrina. Adelia and Mara were there trying desperately to calm down. Even Ian that disappeared

  • My Brother My Mate    Missing

    Lance's POV'You did a good job Ian. Kudos to you,' the Alpha said patting a beaming Ian on the back.When we had made all the plans, I had feared that Ian might not be able to pull it off. I voiced my reservation and he assured us that he could do it as far as it had nothing to do with spilling blood. It had been important for us to make everything believable. Elder Nat, the Alpha and dad had come up with the plan.We were told about the plan and we agreed immediately.Dominus could have been the best person to do it but he was the Alpha's son and the Alpha needed to project a united family front. Dominus' absence would have been too conspicuous.'But this is not the end. He will be back or preferably let me say that he will keep investigating us. People like him don't back down easily,' the Alpha said. We were in the sitting room of the Alpha house. We had just gotten back from the field with elated moods.'I think that Asher and the soldiers can return now?' I asked.'That depends

  • My Brother My Mate    His Voice

    Maureen's POV'Can you please clean up the guest room on the left?' The Luna said to one of the staff as we led Mara up the stairs. She was no longer crying but she looked weak and unhappy. The Luna had said we should take Mara to her room. We couldn't talk in that scattered room. 'I need to go see the girls,' Mara said again tiredly after Lucia and I made her sit down on a chair in the Luna's room. 'I can mind link a soldier to get Adelia to check on the girls. Only on the condition that you tell me exactly what is going on,' the Luna said to her. Mum came out of the bathroom with the first aid box and got to work on Mara's right hand. The cut was already healing, but she had to get the glass shards out so that the wound could heal properly. Mara winced when Mum removed a shard that was stuck on her middle finger. When Mum was through, she applied ointment and wrapped it in gauze. I was sure it would heal in minutes. 'Mara, what happened?' The Luna asked again. 'I wanted to co

  • My Brother My Mate    Unwanted Visit

    Maureen's POVI lay in Lance's hands all through the night wondering why I felt as if I just lost a child. I had felt an instant connection with the soldiers when I met them.When I met Alan too, it was the same feeling. I had not wanted Lance to feel jealous that was why I didn't tell him how I felt towards Asher since the first time I laid eyes on him in Amman's pack. My hatred for the Council's Vice President was so great that I shook from the effect. 'Reen are you okay?' Lance asked and made me turn to face him on the bed. He must have noticed the way I trembled.When he saw my eyes, he gasped in surprise, and I knew immediately that my eyes had changed color. He placed his palm on my cheek and caressed me gently.'You need to calm down, my love, or else you will give yourself out,' Lance said.'I do not care. I am ready for war. That fool thought he could use what is mine and get used away with it.' I was staring at Lance from my mind, my wolf had taken over.'He is not going t

  • My Brother My Mate    Smarter

    Lance's POVI had to call Dominus' phone before I could get him down to the Alpha's office. I lied to him that the office was on fire and waited for him outside the office. He was breathless by the time he got there.'What the hell, Lance? Why did you lie to me like that?' 'I have tried reaching you through the mind link to no avail, so I called,' I said, shrugging.'That still doesn't excuse your lie,' Dom said breathing hard. He must have been really scared. 'Metaphorically speaking, it is on fire. The Vice President of the council is on his way to collect Alan's corpse,' I explained to him.'What? Alan is not dead. How do you produce the corpse of a living man?' Dominus asked frowning.'Elder Nat is in there with our parents. He said he had an idea of how we could go about it. That was why your dad said I should go get you,' I explained.Dominus walked past me, opened the study door, and went straight in. I rolled my eyes and followed him in. 'You had your walls up. We have been

  • My Brother My Mate    Coming For Corpse

    Lance's POV'I refuse to talk to him alone,' Mara said stubbornly. 'I don't even know if I can trust him not to manipulate me.' 'Mara. It is a good thing that you know that a mate's hold on you is powerful so you will be prepared if the need be for you to resist his manipulation,' Dad said to Mara.'Besides that, why will he want to talk to me when all he will eventually do is reject me when he discovers my past,' Mara said.She was nervous; it was all over her face. She thought Alan would reject her immediately after he heard what she had been through at Amman's house. Alan was at that moment not in the place to reject anyone. After he had broken down and cried because of the way he was betrayed, he calmed down and begged the Alpha to allow him to see his mate. Alan had said he wanted to see her because he didn't know what his fate would be. He had seen her in the dark and he wished to see her in broad daylight. It was almost evening though but there was still enough daytime to s

  • My Brother My Mate    Betrayed

    Lance's POV'I need you to tell this young man the things you went through at Amman's house,' the Alpha said to one of the girls that were with Mara and the others at Amman's house.'We will understand if you can't. Nobody is forcing you,' Dad said to her.'No, it is okay. Mara called Adelia that there was someone who needed to be enlightened about the things we went through in Amman's house and I volunteered. Besides the therapist said the more we talked about our experience, the better the trauma would become,' she said smiling at Dad.I couldn't deny the fact that most of the girls we brought back from Amman's house were strong-willed. I couldn't comprehend how they still found it easy to smile so sweetly after everything they had been through. The girl narrated everything to Alan. He was looking at the girl all through her talk as if he was in total disbelief.'Thank you so much, my dear girl, you can return to the main house, a car will take you back to the pack house,' the Alph

  • My Brother My Mate    Someone to Blame

    Dominus' POVI stretched my hand and reached for Lucia as I came out of my restless sleep but she wasn't there. I was startled at first and sat straight.Then I remembered. It had been a lonely night. I had slept alone because Lucia had spent the night with her mother. I couldn't argue with her. They needed each other. I felt someone pushing into my mind link and I opened up. It was Dad. 'Good morning, dad,' I greeted him.'We will be heading down to give Alan some eye-opening facts. If you wish to join us, you should be ready in about an hour,' Dad said into the mind link.'Ok, dad. I will be downstairs soon,' I said and closed the mind link. I stood from the bed and went into the bathroom with heavy footsteps. I wasn't happy. The sadness I was feeling wasn't mine alone. Lucia was letting her guard on the mind link down on and off and her emotions kept seeping in. How could I possibly be okay when my mate was grieving? I was grieving too. That was like joining two heavy hearts to

  • My Brother My Mate    Mounting Confusion

    Lance's POV'No wonder he was calling us traitors,' dad said frowning.'Where did you find this, Rocha?' The Alpha asked.'I decided to give the soldiers clearing the field a hand. I was restless. I found it in the bag attached to his dead horse,' Rocha explained.'Before this kind of order can be issued, the pack involved would have been sent a warning three times to surrender. If they do not surrender by the time they get the last warning, this kind of order is issued against them and that process takes weeks,' the Alpha explained.'We didn't receive any warnings from them. Besides, we haven't done anything wrong why will they issue that type of order against us?' I asked. I was as confused as everyone else. 'I will like to ask Alan some questions for now,' the Alpha said and thanked Rocha.Rocha said he would not want to go in there with us, so he excused himself and went back to the house while we returned to the room that Alan was.'Now the traitors return,' Alan said bitterly a
