GWEN’S POV“Gwen? Why are you here?”Leaning on the closed door behind me, I folded my arms and looked at her while raising my eyebrows up.“What kind of question is that? This is my husband’s room. Do I have to take permission from you before going in here?”She glared at me and didn’t say a word as she stuck her nose up in the air while looking at me like I was not worth more than the dirt stuck on the bottom of her shoes.“I’m here to see Blake. Is he in?”She was being so annoying and whenever I mentioned to Blake how disrespectful she was, he never believed me and just made it out to seem like I was jealous of their close friendship or some other stupid nonsense that he thought was right. I wish he was there to hear her address both of us by our names instead of our titles but I was sure that if he were really there, she wasn’t going to do that. She would have called me all the titles in the world if it meant that she could make me seem like the crazy person who was going to get
GWEN’S POVIt was early evening and we were taking a stroll down the road. Alpha Blake and I were having a nice time as we greeted the wolves who stopped to bow down to us and smile as we passed by them. I felt so loved with how close Blake was holding me to his chest.Absolutely nothing could go wrong when one was loved fiercely the way Blake loved me. Nora had been quiet since our last encounter few days prior and all I could feel was gratitude and relief that she had finally accepted the reality that Blake was really and truly mine and was never going to be hers no matter how much she wanted it.“Eat the grapes, stop pushing them aside”Hitting him on the chest softly, I scolded him because from the bowl that I was cradling and taking cut up fruits from, he kept moving the grapes aside.“I don’t like them. They taste nasty”I rolled my eyes at his scrunched-up face and how serious he sounded over something as simple as grapes. What person in their right senses didn’t like grapes? G
*Gwen’s POV*As I was weaving my way through the crowded club, balancing two full beer glasses on a tray, someone suddenly grabbed my arm, stopping me in my tracks. It was the club manager, looking serious. He pulled me aside into a quiet corner."Gwen," he said quietly, "we have a special request for you."I was surprised. A request for me? That was unusual. Normally, these requests were handled by the girls in flashy outfits, not someone like me – a girl dressed in oversized t-shirts and baggy pants."Who's asking?" I inquired, feeling curious.The manager shook his head. "You'll find out when you get there. It's in Lounge 3. Drop the tray and go. Right away."I felt irritation bubbling inside me. I didn't like being bossed around like a pet. But with Mr. Tony's stern gaze fixed on me, and the silent threat of losing my job looming over me, I followed his orders.Setting the tray down with a loud thud that earned me a few annoyed glances, I hurried towards lounge 3, feeling my heart
“Gwen’s POV”As Derek's words echoed in my ears, I could feel a sharp pain shot through my chest, as if my heart had been clenched in a vise. It was accompanied by a sickening sensation in my stomach. Our mate bond had been broken. I could hear my wolf whimper in pain.Standing there in pain, I could feel the weight of his gaze bearing down on me, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and contempt."You should be grateful, Gwen," he continued speaking, his voice dripping with malice. "Most girls would kill for the opportunity to be this close to me."I shrank back against the wall, my hands trembling with fear as Derek continued to advance towards me. His words sent a chill down my spine, filling me with a sense of dread, unlike anything I'd ever experienced before."You disgust me. I'm going to teach you a lesson you'll never forget," he growled, his voice low and dangerous.Panic surged through me as Derek called for his guards, the sound of their heavy footsteps echoing in the sm
“Gwen’s POV”The bitter taste of all the things that happened since last night still lingered in my mouth as I made my way to the Pack hall. Each step felt heavier than the last, burdened not just by the weight of my own sorrow, but by the shame forced upon me by what Derek called me.“Whore”. I replayed the events of the previous night in my mind, each memory a painful reminder of how quickly love could turn to scorn. I tried to push back the tears threatening to spill from my eyes, not wanting my fellow pack members to see and start asking me questions.I prayed silently to the Moon Goddess, begging for a second chance at finding a mate who would truly love me, who would see me for who I was, and not treat me like Derek had.Entering my room, I wasted no time in taking a shower, the water soothing against my skin as I tried to wash away the shame and humiliation that clung to me like a second skin. With a heavy sigh, I proceeded to resume my cleaning duties.By late afternoon, exhau
*Gwen’s POV*Fear surged through me as the guards dragged me into the back of the van. The floor, made of cold metal, sent shivers through my body as I curled up in the corner.My hands were tightly tied with silver restraints. The van started moving, and I knew we were headed toward the outskirts of our territory, where the pack dungeon was located among the trees.With every bump and twist along the rough road, my heart raced faster. Each jolt seemed to taunt me with the grim reality of my situation.I stole a glance out of the tiny window, observing the trees whizzing past in a blur. My mind spun with thoughts of escaping, but the guards remained watchful, their eyes keen and alert.Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, fate intervened. Suddenly, there was a sharp jolt, followed by a hissing sound as air escaped. The van came to a stop. We had a flat tire.The guards cursed as they got out of the van to inspect the damage. They opened the back of the van where I was and took
Gwen's POVI was ushered into a dimly lit room which cast a long shadow on the wooden walls. I was so tired and was barely keeping my eyes open but with the gentle pressure of Alpha's Blake's hand against my back, I could move forward at a steady pace.His touch was careful yet firm as if he was afraid I would shatter, I was on the brink of doing that because of the pain I was going through.“You don't have to worry about anything, Gwen, you are in safe hands!” He said to me as he helped me to the bed where I sat down with his help. The pain was becoming unbearable and I think he noticed because he immediately called one of the guards at the door.“Call me Nora, tell her I need her service and it's very urgent!” He commanded as his voice echoed through the room, leaving no room for disobedience as his tone implied.Minutes after, three omegas rushed in with a beautiful lady behind them, they came in with a variety of herbs, bandages, ointment, a black liquid in a transparent bottle, a
Gwen's POV“Thank you Alpha Blake for even listening to me! Thanks! At a more strategic time, you can deal with them!” I said to him calmly. It was nice to have someone who would actually listen to you.He turned to face me as he took a step closer which sent a shiver down my spine. I looked into his eyes and I saw a look which was intense and raw. I recognize it to be lust or desire but there was something else to it that I couldn't place a finger at, something more controlled and restrained. I could see him fighting it so much but I don't know what it was.“You should rest up, you need to be relaxed but be well assured that no form of harm is coming to you here. You are safe now,” He said instead with a hoarse voice as he led me back to the bed.“Thank you so much, Alpha Blake!” I exclaimed as I felt a sense of gratitude then exhaustion washed over me.He walked to the door but paused as he got there, and turned with a smile. “If you need anything, just anything even if it sounds ri

GWEN’S POVAs I watched his chest rise and fall with every breath he took, all I could remember was the look on his face earlier in the night when he finally saw the surprise that I had for him. While I was not exactly the one who had prepared it for him, I was the best person to offer it to him. He had stared at me for so long that I thought he was going to snap but he had instead, grabbed me in his arms and placed a sweet kiss on my lips.When I had tried to separate myself from him, he had deepened the kiss, muddling my mind up to the point where I forgot that we were not the only ones in the room. When we finally got away from each other, I blushed a crimson red from the scalp on my head to the soles of my feet. My cheeks were so hot that I could have cooked an egg on them.Staring at him, I felt so much love in my heart for him. As a matter of fact, I knew that if anything came between the both of us, I was going to be utterly devastated. It had taken me a while to realize just
BLAKE’S POVI blinked at her as she laughed and laughed like she was crazy. I didn’t understand what I was seeing. How was she laughing when only a moment ago, her head had been lolling forward and she couldn’t even answer the call of her name?As I looked at her, she took off the ropes that were holding her hostage on the chair or so I thought. She got to her feet, still laughing like a banshee. She was laughing so much that she had to double down and almost squat.“Gwen, what’s all this? What’s happening?”With how much she was laughing, it was obvious that she couldn’t answer my questions so I turned to the other two people who were in the room with us.“Aurelia? You? Care to explain?”I was still pretty annoyed at my beta that I didn’t even want to mention his name. The bizarre thing was that the idiot I thought was almost choking was laughing as well. The two of them were laughing. I looked at Gwen and then back at Aurelia and my beta.“Can someone tell me what the hell is going

BLAKE’S POVAt those words, I looked up at the person who had spoken. It was Aurelia standing in the doorway. I sent her a venomous glare that I was sure if there were lasers in it, she would have become burning cinders.Like she knew that I didn’t have patience for whatever she had said, she immediately followed up her words.“Please, look behind you, Alpha Blake”I didn’t have to look behind me to see my Luna because I knew what I was going to see. No one or thing had passed by me since I had got there so I knew that there wasn’t going to be a change in what was there. If I turned around, I was going to see Gwen seated in a lone chair with a rope tied around her body anchoring her to the chair while illuminated by the single light source I had been seeing when I was outside.I had made a mistake of not squeezing the life out of her when I was still outside which was why she had the effrontery to come to me and start asking me to do something so stupid. I paid her no mind and focused
BLAKE’S POV“Alpha Blake, please calm down”He stretched his hands out towards me as if to hold me off from getting close to him but that was not going to do anything to take me back. He should have known better than to do that. Without even saying a word, I covered the space that existed between the both of us and grabbed his outstretched hands. Pulling them behind him, I applied so much pressure that they were just a hair's breadth away from popping out of their sockets. I saw him as he kissed his teeth and breathed in deeply, trying to hold back the groan that I was sure was about to be released based on the pain that was radiating through his body.“Whatever you think it is, I can explain”Hearing him speak was even annoying me more. I yanked his hands even further as if to prove the point that I needed him to shut up.“Where is Luna Gwen?”His gaze darted up and down, not answering my question. It was a strange sight to see my beta of all people lost for words which made the hair
BLAKE’S POVJust a few meters remained between myself and the shed that I was very suspicious of. I was walking towards it when all of a sudden, something stepped into my periphery and made me stop in my tracks. Turning to the side, I looked at what made me stop all of a sudden.“Aurelia?”The sight of one of Gwen’s maids there all of a sudden made my eyebrows wrinkle as I wondered what she was doing there. She bowed to me as a sign of respect but didn’t lift her eyes up even close to mine. While I knew it was disrespectful for any wolf lower than my rank to look me in the eye, there was something strange about the way Aurelia was avoiding my gaze.“What are you doing here?”I watched her meticulously and noticed that she got a bit startled when i asked the question. I saw her bite her lip as she wondered what to say. If I were to take a guess, I would have guessed that she was nervous or something which made things all the more suspicious.“Where is Luna Gwen?”If Gwen was out and ab
BLAKE’S POVSince Gwen left the room obviously bothered, I hadn’t been able to calm down or even eat. The meal that I had her maid, Aurelia get for her was still the way I left it when she unceremoniously walked out of the room with the excuse that she needed fresh air. I didn’t understand the kind of air she was getting outside that she couldn’t get in such a properly ventilated room that we had been in together.I was getting annoyed because it was getting late and she wasn’t back yet. The security of the pack wasn’t as top-notch as it used to be and I honestly, didn’t want a situation where Gwen’s safety was put in jeopardy because then it meant that my child’s safety was also put in jeopardy. Nothing could happen to either of them.“Do I go look for her?”I was contemplating going looking for her because I didn’t want an issue to arise from it at the end of the day. I didn’t know if it was because of her pregnancy or something else but Gwen had been really prickly as of late. Anyt
