(Undergoing editing)**ASHTON**The border check with the team took longer than anticipated. And by the time we were through, twilight had befallen on us. I was impatient, my mind and body already far from here as I excused myself form them and made my way home. I missed.my nate so much and after last night, I do not want to spend a moment away from her.Since last night, it had been a new level of peace. I told her, I fucekn expressed my feelings to her and it was not as bad as I had envisioned. I always knew all along. From the first day, I met her that she would have me this way. That was why I was scared and did everything possible to make her leave. And I am glad it didn't work.After our exchange at the dining room and I blurted that statement, I regretted it. However, the regret came after the blunder. I never supposed I would stoop low to say that to her. After all, we weren't sure where the issue stemmed from. It could even be from me.Thanks to Striker, it was not long and
**GWEN**"Ewk!" I sneezed, rolling to my back in the bed with a the palm of my right hand locating my forehead. It pounded bitterly. I winced, further wincing when I became conscious of the bright light flooding in from the open window. Who opened the window by this time of the morning?"Good morning, your highness," I heard Kora's voice from somewhere close to the closet, rummaging inside. I shifted to my right side until I faced her, my eyes squinted from pain."Kora? Why did you come so early?" "It's past 11 in the morning, your highness, you overslept." My heart jumped. Overslept? How? I rapidly skimmed my eyes around the room and ended at the wall clock, my eyelids expanding broadly. "Shit!" I jolted up with speed. "I was worried when you didn't wake up and had to open the windows. I'm sorry.""You should have woke me up earlier.”"I didn't want to bother you. You must have had a lot from yesterday." I stood up on my bare feet, my memory cascading back to events of yesterday.
**GWEN**Somebody wake me up from this slumber that I was. It appears I have been fantasizing a lot lately that I was starting to live in my head.Repeatedly, I delved at Merit, not giving her a chance to attack me. She was also transformed now and from the feral look in her eyes, she was ready to maul me. But guess what, bitch? Today was judgment day!Whatever this is that possessed me, it was something despicable. Absolutely not me. It was unforgiving and not willing to slow down. From the look of things, it was aiming to destroy Merit, and if no one stopped us, someone was definitely going to die today."ENOUGH!" I heard someone thunder. A very powerful human, but this thing possessing me didn't let me stop for one second. It caught Merit by the neck and just when I leaned in to chop off her neck, hands grabbed me and snatched me off the bitch.I struggled, my rage redirected towards the person that dared to hamper my moment, and paused when my eyes rounded on Ashton. He looked at
**GWEN**Since Merit had hampered my effort of going to visit the pack members at the farm yesterday, very early this morning when I woke up-and after taking my time to admire the bowl of hot sauce sprawled across the bed oblivious to everything happening around him and mind you very late in the morning also-i eventually coerced myself into bathing, wearing a comfy training gear and heading out.I had a lot to do today.I was euphoric. I stopped by to inform Kora not to go to my chamber-so as not to wake my love- but I didn't find her. They said she left the place earlier this morning and was meant to return before noon. She didn't tell me. I didn't mind though. I informed the head salutary to help me relay to her not to bother going to my chamber.Then, I literally glided out of the palace. I headed straight for the woods. Immediately I was there, I removed my clothes and placed them inside my bag and then I shifted into my giant wolf and took off with my bag in my mouth, through th
**GWEN**"Wait!" Tyler said, his left hand covering his engorged shaft as his right hushed Abby, taking a step toward me and then he stopped. "Gwen?"My ears perked. How did he know it was me?I growled, lifting my frigid muzzle in the air. I twirled around, swished my tail, bent my upper body lower with my eyes at them, and then I stood and howled into the air.Tyler snickered, the sides of his eyes creased in genuine happiness. Hold on, let's not get ahead of ourselves. They still had explanations to give."I don't get," Abby grabbed the bed cover nearby and wrapped around her body, her focus returning to me. "I can't believe this! Gwen, shift back this minute and explain why you are in a wolf form. I thought you said you haven't transformed yet.""She might have transformed recently." Tyler defended me, taking the other milkish silk cover to wrap loosely around his waist."She was just here yesterday." Abby eyed me. "Why do you think she's the one?"Hey, I am still here! I said in
**GWEN**I got to the palace later that evening with mixed emotions. On the other hand, I was still delighted about my shifting experience and my day hanging out with the farmers, and on the other, I was terrified about Ty and Abby's present relationship mostly as they were together under the same roof with no one to chaperone them. It was a case of dumping a yam with a goat to safeguard. I walked down the driveway that led to the palace's front door, thinking hard about what I was going to do. The people I thought of were not bothered at all. In fact, when I left them, they were more concerned about dealing with Merit for attacking me. Mostly Abby who vowed to put Merit in her place the next time she encountered her. Ty popped a bottle of Margarita for my shifting celebration and they were confounded to see me drink it without stuttering. They didn't say it, but I saw them exchange uneasy glances. Damn, I was worried. The worry resulted in my blatant gulping down of the cold liqu
**GWEN**"Are you okay, sweetheart?" my mother asked the minute she saw me walking into the living room. From her outward appearance and the manner she was gawking at Mousy, I could tell if I hadn't arrived at this point, something drastic would have taken place. Mousy at seeing me, sighed in relief and stalked out of the room while sending me a secret gratitude smile. "I'm fine, Mom," I tentatively touched her palm placed on my left cheek. My eyes sweet around the room at everyone, still trying to agree that this was happening. "Baby, come here." My mom hugged me once more. "I don't care whatever it was that made you leave, I am thoroughly, in fact overly happy to see you again.""Me too, mother." I forced myself to live in the moment and forget about Ashton even though for now. I pushed away from her and pressed my hand down my gown in a wiping gesture. I was nervous. "Have you been seen to your rooms?""That cunt of a man won't even let us leave the room!" My sister thundered fro
**GWEN**"He is still not speaking to you?" Abby asked me, wagging her fingers in front of her mouth as she gobbled the hot spaghetti. I gave her a sad shrug. "He doesn't even sleep in the same room with me. And when he sneaks in at night thinking I'm asleep, it is to pick his clothes and sneak out. He is so stubborn!" I hissed haughtily. Most times I wanted to stand up and tell him to his face he was full of shit! There I lay missing him like he was my next breath and he was busy being tenacious all because I won't bend to his will and send my family away. One week! One good week and he still won't speak to me. And guess what? I have been doing my best to keep my family happy as much as I could despise his indifference. In fact, today, Tyler offered to take them on tour around the pack, and I didn't waste time to agree. Hence I came here. I couldn't stay there, alone and bored. Charlotte was hardly around as she went on with her life with her new friends. She met my parents four
