Maureen’s POV “Finally, someone is here to check up on me,” Belinda said as we came to view of her. “You wish,” Rocha sneered. I had mind-linked everyone else, and we had met at the gate of the dungeon. I decided that when we were through with Belinda, we would go to the rogue too. Luckily enough, they were kept in different buildings. Belinda didn't know that the rogue was there and vice versa. “I knew that you fell in love with me Rocha. You were just pretending back then, and you are still pretending right now,” Belinda said, smiling from cracked lips. She had gone on hunger strike for days. I was informed but I didn't take any step about it. I knew her plan was to starve to death. I had made sure that she was chained to the walls so that she wouldn't have a way to kill herself before her hearing.“You are nothing but a vermin, Belinda. You, who betrayed your best friend. Nobody can love you, ever,” Rocha spat.“I did what I had to do. Don't judge me,” Belinda said as a glint
Dawn's POV “Are you okay?” I asked Maureen for the second time that day. She looked so worried and lost. “I am fine,” she answered but her smile didn't reach her eyes. “You know that your mind is the only place I can't delve into. But I don't need to delve into your mind to see that something is bothering you,” I said frowning at her.“It is not something I can't handle,” Maureen said. “Okay, what are you guys handling?” Lucia asked as she walked back into the sitting room of her apartment, where she left Maureen and me to put her baby to sleep. “Nothing really. I just noticed that Maureen is not looking sharp,” I said. Ever since the day Maureen said she wanted to be able to feel like every normal wolf sometimes, I had resolved to only call her ‘Your Majesty’ whenever we were with people and call her her name and also relate freely whenever we were alone or with one of us. “I had noticed that, but I just wanted to be sure I wasn't imagining things before you started calling me
Maureen's POV“I don't like to torture, but if you don't cooperate with me, I might forget to be lenient with you and deal with you just like you are,” Lance said to the rogue.It has been four days since his incarceration. No one has visited him to question him about his invasion of the Citadel.“What am I?” He asked with disdain making my blood boil.“You are just a common criminal. You know what you are being charged with right? You are being charged with treason which is punishable by death,” Lance said.“Unlike him, I like to inflict pain. I enjoy watching people cry in agony. All I have to do is ask everyone to leave so that I can deal with you ruthlessly,” Dominus said, grinning wickedly at the rogue.It had been four days since his incarceration. No one had visited him to question him about anything. We just left him there to guess what was going to happen to him. He was well-fed. He had three square meals. We needed him to settle in before we rattled him. We weren't expectin
Lance's POV It wasn't how I envisaged the day to end. I had it all planned in my head how I was going to seduce Maureen later after we had settled Talon and his pup's mother's situation. “If I had not gone to White Sky with you all, I might have seen Tate's drawing earlier. Maybe all this wouldn't have happened,” Dawn said, then got up to pace like every one of us. Maureen was the only one who sat down but the look on her face showed exactly what was going on in her mind. We had brought Lucia to the Citadel's Clinic after Grandma Gina said she fell into labor. We were all in the waiting room waiting for news about Lucia and the baby. Dominus refused to stay away, so the doctors had no option but to get him a robe and a hair cover so that he could join them in the labor room. “It is nobody's fault, Dawn. Stop beating yourself up. The White Sky’s journey was an important one. I wouldn't be here if you guys had not come to my rescue,” Rocha said. “I know but that doesn't stop me fr
Maureen's POV “What madness is this? Who dares to do this under my nose?” I asked in anger.“Your Majesty, you might want to take it easy; shouting like that is actually not good for your health,” said a man, walking inside the room accompanied by Edith. “And who are you?” I asked. “He is my mate,” Edith answered, holding onto the man's arms and smiling from ear to ear as if she just made the best declaration of the year.“What is that stench?” Lance asked, wrinkling his nose in annoyance.“That stench is probably from me or perhaps my fellow rogues standing guard outside right now,” the man Edith held on to say. “What are you talking about?” I asked frowning. “What I am talking about is quite simple. The Citadel is surrounded by rogues who are ready to do my bidding at the slightest command,” the man said smiling. “Baby, what are you talking about?” Edith asked with wide eyes. “You are damn too stupid. I am not your mate. You were just hypnotized so that my scent will imitate
Maureen's POV I yawned and stretched like a cat as I came awake. I was tired the previous day. It was not tired because of the physical activity but from the emotional strain of battling with Sheila for control. The argument between Lance and Sheila was the most shocking thing I had experienced in recent times. I never saw my blackouts when Sheila and Marshall were together as anything. I had mentioned it to Lance once, but he downplayed the severity, and I let it go. The door to the room opened and Lance walked in smiling at me. He had obviously taken his bath and he was dressed.“You didn't wake me up,” I stated. “I thought you needed the sleep,” Lance said then made his way to the bed and kissed me lightly on the head.“Are we ever going to talk about it?” I asked as I sat up in bed. “Look, Reen. I made a mistake. I kept a secret I wasn't supposed to keep. Marshall didn't want you to know, and I stupidly kept it from you,” Lance said, looking sorry.“You haven't said you are s
