Wagner's POVFifteen Years On “Here comes the bride,” I said as I watched her enter the hall with her parents, Alpha Ron and Luna Jade. “Let her be Wagner,” Weaver said, gritting his teeth, but I saw as his spine became straight at the sight of our mate. We had known that she was our mate before she was born. But as she grew and we kept meeting at the Citadel, I got disappointed. She was too stuck-up for my liking. I would have loved for my mate to be more laid back. She was fifteen and we were almost nineteen. She and I got off on the wrong foot a long time ago and she didn't like me at all. She used to be close to Wagner, but two years before they stopped being friends, I had asked Weaver several times why they stopped talking, but he never told me.I remembered overhearing her a year ago telling an equally stuck-up guy about us, and she referred to us as “evil twins." I had walked up to her and pecked her on the cheeks. I had walked away smiling while she glared at me. She had
Lance's POV “What is your name?” Maureen asked sitting on her seat in the throne room.“My name is Feline,” the female answered.“Where are you from Feline?” Maureen asked glaring at her.“I am originally from Rainbow Sky but I was brought here when our pack was attacked,” Feline answered. “What are you still doing in the Citadel’s environment when you could have returned to your pack? The pack is settled and returned to their homes,” Maureen asked. “There is nothing there for me again,” she said. “Of course. You lost your mate in that attack, and you decided to stay here and destroy others' lives,” I said, gritting my teeth. “I am not destroying their lives. I am just making them see that they don't need a mate," Feline said heatedly.“How are you an authority in that line?” Maureen asked in anger.“I went through hell when I lost my mate. It was like the pain of a knife seared into my very soul. I hated it. I do not wish for anyone to go through that,” Feline said with so much
Maureen's POV “Dr Pat is here to see you,” Dominus said, entering the throne room. I was sitting in the recliner Lance had brought into the throne room for me. Whenever I wanted to relax, I sat there, and when there were cases to attend to, I used my chair, which was becoming increasingly uncomfortable by the day. “I don't have an appointment with him today,” I said frowning. “I guess he is here on a different mission. From the look on his face, he is here on a personal mission,” Dominus said.Lance had made sure that Dr Pat visited me every other day. He had gone as far as setting up a mini clinic inside the palace and he had insisted that I was having our child inside the palace. He was working around the clock to make sure he provided everything necessary for the mini clinic.“How are the babies?” Dominus asked.“He told you?” I asked but I wasn't surprised. Lance was bound to tell Dominus even if he had said he wanted it to be a surprise for everyone.“Of course he did but I a
Maureen's POV “Everything will be fine,” Lance whispered to me the following morning as we sat opposite Dr Pat in his office at the Citadel clinic. Dr Pat was going through the test results. He frowned at first, then smiled at some point, but quickly masked it with a cough. “I think I might have to carry out a scan Your Majesties,” Dr Pat said. “Is anything the problem Dr Pat?” Lance asked. “No. I think I just need to confirm something,” Dr Pat replied. “Go ahead then,” Lance said. “You should both excuse me then. I will just quickly prepare the place and ask the nurse to get you when I am ready,” the doctor said and we nodded before he left. “Is there something major wrong with me?” I asked nervously.“Why would you say that?” Lance asked squeezing my hand a little before he relaxed his hold. “He did enough tests as it is, yet he wants a scan done. I just hope my stomach hasn't developed something sinister,” I said. “Something like what?” Lance asked with a grin.“It is not
Lance's POV I stood at the door, Maureen just slammed in my face, unsure what to do. I had messed up and there was no excuse for me.She was right. I always run when things become too hot for me. I should have talked to her. I didn't know that she thought that I was blaming her. I returned to the sitting room and sat on the couch for another ten minutes pondering how best to approach her. With my mind made up, I walked to the door and knocked. I was ready to grovel if needed. I messed up and I accepted my fault.I almost fell into the room when she opened the door suddenly. I wasn't expecting her to open it like that. I thought I would have to beg for a while. “What do you want?” Maureen asked turning her back to me. No words could encompass all I had to say to apologize to her. I hurt her deeply and I hurt myself in the process. I felt bad.I didn't say anything as I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her to my chest with her back resting on my chest.“I am sorry Reen.
Maureen's POV “Maureen you should let the doctor remove the baby. You heard him, the baby is dead, we need to face reality and move on,” my birth mum, the Luna of High Moon, said, looking at me with pity in her eyes. “The earlier you evacuate the remnant, the better. We can't afford to let you come down with an infection,” my adoptive mum, the female Beta of High Moon chipped in. It's been one whole week since the incident and the doctor declared my baby dead. My wolf wasn't ready to part with whatever was left inside us and neither was I. My mother was there to talk sense into me,, just as Lucia had angrily put it before she called them. They had come to the Citadel, leaving the reins of affairs of High Moon to the Gamma. “Do you need your Dad to talk to you preferably?” My birth mum asked referring to the Alpha of High Moon.‘No mum. Just let me be with my baby for today. I will go back to the hospital for the first time tomorrow morning for evacuation,” I said. “You promise?”
