Maureen's POVI walked into the garden behind the citadel with a smile on my face. It was dark outside but the moon was so bright. It would have been mistaken for early morning if not for the dark clouds and the bright shining stars. I discovered the garden three days after I got to the citadel. It was almost as beautiful as the garden in my dreams. I had made inquiries about who had been taking care of the garden. An elderly woman about the age of Grandma Gina had been brought to me. She did a wonderful job taking care of the garden.As I walked in the garden, touching one delicate flower after another, I couldn't help but reminisce on the events of the past week and the event of that day in particular. I had finally reinstalled the president to his rightful place. It had been a big occasion with wolves from every part of the kingdom there to witness the occasion. I was not one hundred percent sure of all the elders in the council, but I was sure I had over ninety-five percent of t
Ian's POVI couldn't sit and watch Shanty's conviction. A girl I have loved for the longest time. She was the only one I allowed into my space for the very first time. I was on a mission that I didn't want to be distracted from so I had no friends, no confidant, nothing until I met Shanty. Shanty betrayed me in the worst way ever, but my heart was still reluctant to let go of every memory we shared. I left the panel in the middle of a hearing. No one stopped me and I didn't look back either. I was in the bush all alone for two days eating whatever I could get. I was used to that anyway. I stopped being a loner after I met Maureen and the whole team. I shook my head to dispel the thought that I would never be invisible again. It was painful, but at the same time, it was a relief. I sought Grandma Gina and the leader of the waiters out the very minute I got to the council from High Moon. I wanted to know why I could no longer be invisible. I discovered that I lost my ability after
Maureen's POV 'Everything is all set in your pack. You and your children can go back to Eagle Moon now,' I said to Talon. We were in the pack main hall. It had not been easy to get Eagles pack up again but I had to. Talon needed his home, and the children, too, needed a balance. One of those that were used as his breeders said she couldn't stay with him, she wanted to go back to her pack. I didn't stop her. She needed her people to heal. The other female decided to stay, she said she couldn't leave her children in the care of another. 'Thank you, Your Majesty,' Talon said. 'I have told you to call me Maureen. You are my biological father, there is no way of writing that off,' I said.'I know what you said, and I understand, but I can't call you by name. I was just a vessel used to bring you to life. You and your wolf are far above me. So I will accord you the due respect,' Talon insisted. Dawn, Lance, Asher, and Leila were with me in the council's main hall while I addressed Tal
Maureen's POV'Asher you need to let the doctors examine her,' I said for the umpteenth time as the doctor tried to get to Dawn to no avail.We were at the council hospital. After so much shouting and noise, we got the Luna and Dawn to the clinic on time. The Luna was taken into the labor room while Dawn was placed in a ward, and a doctor was immediately allocated to her, but Asher wouldn't let the doctor access her. 'You need to let go of her Asher. You might be choking her as it is,' Lance said, making Asher let go of Dawn instantly.I had thought that we might have to bring Lucia in to make him sleep so that the doctor could attend to Dawn without his interference. When Asher lifted his face to us, I saw that his wolf was in control because his eyes were completely those of his wolf. 'Mate will be okay right?' Asher asked looking at me pitifully.'Yes. Your mate will be fine, but you need to step away from her,' I said, looking at him in the eyes.He eventually agreed to step b
Maureen's POV A Month and One Week Later 'Go ahead and explain yourself,' I said, then sat back on the chair to listen to what the Luna of Rolling Hills had to say. I had set up a panel that consisted of different people to look into evidence against those who wanted to seize the power of the golden wolf soldiers so that they could control the entire wolf kingdom. The panel consisted of faithful elders who had gone through a rigorous search into their minds by Dawn, the entire golden wolf team, and Alpha representatives from different packs, including the Alpha of High Moon and the waiters. I also made sure that the proceedings were adequately covered by the press. We were charging them with felony but not without allowing every one of them to say one or two things for themselves. There was a lot of evidence against them already, but that didn't stop me from asking them to say one or two things. It was the standard procedure. 'I have nothing to say. You have already found me
Maureen's POVLance and I walked hand in hand back to the citadel alongside Dad. My mind was on Asher but it was also with Dawn. She would be going crazy with worry. Mum met us at the door when we got to the citadel. She hugged me passionately. I wondered how many times while growing up why she never treated me like a mother would treat her only daughter but now that I knew why she was like that, I didn't blame her at all. 'How are you doing Your Majesty?' Mum asked holding my hand.'Not you too, mum, please,' I said, stepping away from her.'You are who you are now Maureen. We all must accept that,' Mum said smiling at me.'How is Asher?' I asked, intentionally changing the topic.'He is asleep,' Mum said.'He slept all through the journey back to the council. I am worried,' I said frowning lightly.'Let us go and see him,' Lance said putting his hand on my shoulder to turn me towards the stairs to the room Dawn and Asher share. 'How is the Luna mum?' I asked as we walked to Asher
