Gwen’s POV

I sat at my dressing table, feeling both frustration and anger, I clutched my cup of tea, the warmth did little to ease my fear.

Aurelia and Elgiva were busy with some chores, and their attempts to console me were unsuccessful.

Nora’s harsh words still echo in my mind and I took deep breaths trying to calm myself, but it was of little or no use.

The fear for Blake’s safety was so overwhelming and Nora only fueled my frustration.

Nora's presence loomed as she entered my room again, her expression cold as ever. She glanced at me and sighed.

"Still here, Lady Gwen? I thought you'd be out proving yourself by now." She said mockingly.

Aurelia and Elgiva entered the room.

My grip on the cup tightened, trying to force myself to remain calm and I said “I'm doing what I can, Nora. Unlike you, I actually care about Blake."

Nora's eyes flashed with anger. "And what is that supposed to mean?"

I stood up and said, "It means that maybe if you had someone you truly cared about, you'd

    Gwen's POVI wasn't myself when I woke up the following day. I couldn't stop crying even after my maids tried their best to keep my spirits up. I remembered what Nora said yesterday and it was beginning to weigh me down. How could Nora have said that to me? What could have warranted such a remark? But with the girl’s explanation, I understand further!“My Lady, you do not have to concentrate on what was said to you? Healer Nora was just being spiteful!” Elgiva uttered in a demeaning tone. She looked visibly angry but I just couldn't stop the tears from flowing uncontrollably. I was becoming a crybaby all of a sudden, this was quite unusual.Nora was trying to remind me of the Stormfur pack, being a representative of the pack here in Moonfang pack! I was still trying to gather myself that Blake left the pack without even informing me and Nora had the audacity to walk into this room and spit such nonsense. And with Blake not yet back or any message from him, it just made everything get

My hands were dangling by my side as the confidence I had built up before his arrival seemed to have left me, I was stranded with a rush of emotions that were overwhelming. I needed to catch my breath as I tried to break off from the kiss but Blake's hold on me was so powerful and tight as he continued to kiss me passionately. I was melting away even though I didn't know what to do and I loved what he was doing to me, his hand had slipped beneath my gown as he caressed me tight. I gripped onto him as I melted into his embrace, my mind was whirlwinding with emotions and deep feelings I couldn't comprehend.

    Gwen’s POVMy eyes fluttered open, as the morning sunshine hit my face, waking me up fully. My heart skipped a beat when I realized that Blake was not beside me. I felt immobilized with fear which made me sit up hurriedly as I looked around the room for any sign of him. Had he gone out again? This sent a shiver down my spine. I was about to get out of bed to start looking for him, when I heard the bedroom door squeak open and Elgiva came in with a smile on her face.“Good morning Lady Gwen”. Elgiva said. “Alpha Blake is in his chamber. I let out a sigh of relief. "Thank Goodness," I muttered in gladness, while swinging my legs to the other side of the bed ." I was so scared he’s left again I said feeling relaxed.Elgiva walked over to me and gently placed her hands in my shoulder. "He's returned safely. Go see him," she said to me encouragingly. "It will definitely put your mind at ease."I nodded, quickly slipping into my robe and hurrying out of the room. I walked down the

    Gwen’s POVMy heart was pounding with both anger and disbelief as I stared at Nora, who stood in front of me as she came into my room. I could still hear the echoes of the slap in my mind, and Aurelia’s cheek bore the red mark of Nora’s hand. "Why did you slap her?" I asked with a quiver in my voice.Nora folded her arms, squeezing her face she said. "I asked her to do my laundry, and she didn't do it right. I found some of my clothes burnt. She said had washed and ironed them properly without them getting burnt, but I know she's lying."Aurelia who was kneeling as she helped me buckle my sandals, shook her head vehemently. I never said that Nora. I did do your laundry, I washed the clothes and ironed them properly with no incident, maybe someone else did that to your clothes. Nora’s eyes narrowed as she stepped closer to Aurelia. "You are lying," she uttered. “I asked you specifically to handle them and now you are trying to blame someone else for your incompetence.”Aurelia’s

    Gwen's POV As I entered his chamber, Alpha Blake said he was still a bit preoccupied with a situation concerning the pack and that he would send to me as soon as he was free. I went back to my room. To say I was fuming was an understatement to what I was feeling currently, I kept pacing back and forth in my room, clenching my fit and jaw and stamping my foot repeatedly. How could he have just snubbed me and not even listened to what I had to say? Will he seriously believe Nora over me? I can't believe Nora could frame such a pathetic lie against me in the blink of an eye. Oh geez! All my assumptions about her are so true! My anger was simmering beneath the surface and was just waiting to explode in everyone's face. The fact he didn't even give me a chance to dispute the lies arranged by Nora just makes me want to stick my hand into their faces! The little words he said still sting as I think about it further, how could he believe her over me? That I will call her names? He doubted

    Blake's POVWhat the hell just happened? I was so confused as my inside gnawed at me, I stared at Gwen's closed door like it was going to give me the answer I needed. I paced in the hallway wondering why the sudden change in her. She even pushed me out of her room with the most disgusting look I have ever seen on her face. Something was wrong and I couldn't point a finger to why she suddenly became distant. She wasn't like this yesterday when she was warm and open but why the sudden act of shutting me out completely? Did she need space? I was going to give her that, so I went to my study where I had pending issues concerning the pack. My mind was settled so I left and tried to talk to Gwen again but her behavior was just something else. “Gwen!” I called out as I saw her cross towards the garden with her maids by her side but she did like she didn't hear me and just ignored me completely. I can't take this! I followed her into the garden calling her way but immediately she sighted m

    Gwen’s POVBlake stood in his office. He felt a mix of frustration and annoyance. Nora's words from earlier that day echoed in his mind. Despite his doubts about her story, a small part of him was irritated by the thought that there might be some truth to it. He thanked Nora and watched her leave the room with a smug expression on her face. It gnawed at him. He couldn’t pinpoint why he felt so unsettled.I strolled through the palace park my mind swirling with a mix of emotions. The evening air was cool and crisp. I sought solace in the tranquil beauty of the surroundings. I had spent the day mulling over the conversation I had overheard between Alpha Blake and Nora. My heart was heavy with hurt and confusion. The lush gardens and serene atmosphere usually brought me peace. But, today they felt like a cruel reminder of the turmoil I was experiencing.It stung that he seemed to be putting so much trust into the other woman Nora, rather than trusting me which left me with ling

    Gwen’s POV “Blake that explained he was talking about my maids. He wasn't talking about me."My eyes flashed open with a sudden surge of surprise, and I felt a bolt of embarrassment. “Oh, Blake, I'm so sorry for the misunderstanding," I said, my voice trembling slightly. “I didn't mean to jump to conclusions. I just. It hurt to think that you didn't trust me."Alpha Blake smiled softly and reached for my hand, assuring me. "It's okay, Gwen. I understand why you felt that way. Trust is important, and I never want you to doubt how much I care about you."The incertitude somehow left my mind. "Thank you, Alpha Blake. I should have talked to you instead of keeping my feelings bottled up."Alpha Blake nodded, his eyes softening. “ communication is key, you have to remember, Gwen. We both have to remember that."We started walking together comfortably slow and leisurely. The evening air was cool and the pack’s garden was serene. With every step, I took, I felt the tension in my body

    BLAKE'S POVThe fear in the eyes of the midwife made me want to rush to the delivery room and bring out my wife. At this point, I did not mind not having to have our baby for now. All I wanted was to have my wife back in one piece.“What…what's the problem? " What's going on?” I yelled at her, losing the last ounce of self-control I had left in me. The midwife instantly transformed with fear and my heart started beating fast. “She…uhm, Luna is having issues breathing, and she keeps crying even after the baby.” She said and my heart dropped. I instantly returned Nathan to her and ran into the delivery room when Gwen was screaming her head off.“Don't let her take me, Blake. " Don't let her take me, please.” She was crying and writhing in pain. So much that our mate bond began to hurt me as well. I rushed to her and held her hands, Then I noticed the midwife returning to the room with our baby in her hands and I got an idea.“Give me the baby,” I instructed the midwife and she passed h

My back hurt, my knees hurt, my feet ached, and even my stomach wasn’t left out as the sensations in there felt very uncomfortable. My baby was kicking so hard that I was convinced he wanted to become a footballer or an athlete and was ready to get straight into the field once he was out in the world.Every night before I went to bed, I had to get a massage of my waist and my swollen legs because they just ached so badly. Even Blake had gotten to apologizing for making me go through all that I was going through because of his big-headed baby. I knew that pregnancy was supposed to be a glorious time and mine used to be but it was fast losing its sparkle and becoming a trying time.As if all of that wasn’t enough, the heartburn I was suffering had me staying away from foods I craved so much all because they set the heartburn off so much.

The baby wasn’t here yet but if I didn’t want to buy any clothes for the next year, we were still going fo be alright.The box was brought to me and opened to reveal a blue jumper that looked like the best thing ever created in the world. We awwwed and ahhed at it before setting it aside to look at the contents of the next box.“Woah, I wasn’t informed that we were opening a supermarket in our room”I flew off the bed I was sitting on and into the arms of Blake, who was at the door as he had only just come in. It was lunchtime, so I wasn’t surprised to see him. We shared a kiss and then, I dragged him to bed with me to look through my purchases with me.“You got all these in blue? Why not pink?”Blake was adamant that we were going to be having a girl but I was still stuck on the hill that it was going to be a boy

    GWEN’S POV“Trances are only a gateway between the past and the future. There is but a thin line which separates both time parts and the wielder of gifts should be careful to recognize that. Sometimes, the present may even get interwoven at certain points because of the emotional attachment of the wielded powers to events happening around. Trances may come as flashes in the eye of the mind and may be triggered by the five senses. The sense of touch and smell are the strongest triggers of this. Hence why a wielder should be careful what is touched because then the curtain may be shifted and what lays beyond glimpsed”I was so invested in the book I was reading that I didn’t even realize that the sun was now setting. I had picked up the book I took from Nora’s room which I had been unable to glance through for so long after lunch ane had been reading voraciously.From what I had read so far, I was coming to understand that the moon goddess had blessed me with a gift so rare that many eo

    BLAKE’S POV“Could it be true?”Seated in my office alone, I pondered on the events of the previous day. I was over the moon that Gwen was now speaking to me after I explained that all the times Nora and I had met up had been for the baby we were expecting. She had been extremely skeptical and withdrew her belief in my explanations, not until my personal guards confirmed what I said.Embarrassed didn’t cut how I felt that Gwen couldn’t take my word for it but instead, had to rely on the words of my staff who served me. I understood why she wasn’t giving me her trust freely but that still didn’t take away the sting. When that case was resolved and I apologized for once again, making her feel like she was coming second in my life, I brought up the drawing.She had tried to deflect by apologizing about intending to move out but I quickly redirected her attention back to it because I knew I hadn’t hallucinated the slight sense of alarm in her voice when she asked me what I was doing with

Things were spiraling out of control so fast that I worried if we didn’t do anything quickly, we were going to be at the mercy of our enemies.I knew that I wasn’t the only one who recognized that there was a bigger issue, far bigger than the one we were being faced with because it was clear that everyone at the table with me was worried. The meeting didn’t seem to be yielding any progress and we had been at it for a few hours already.“I’m not hearing any suggestions”When there were still no profitable suggestions more than 30 minutes later, I adjourned the meeting to two days later so that everyone had enough time to come up with something tangible that we could use to protect ourselves while we tried to understand what was going on with the strange breaking-ins we had been having around the pack.“How is she doing tod

He hadn’t even bothered to come after me, which just meant that he was okay with me leaving. He didn’t mind that I was about to walk away from our marriage and his life with our baby. Perhaps this was something I should have done a long time ago.So annoyed was I that I didn’t even bother to get everything that was mine in the drawers, deciding instead to come back for it when I was a bit more settled in where I was going to be staying till I finally left the pack as a whole. No, I had a change of mind. If I stayed, he was still going to have access to me. It was best I just left, so I could put everything behind me and start a new life altogether somewhere else.My suitcase beside me and a small messenger bag slung over my shoulder, I started making my way towards the door. I didn’t look at anyone as I walked out with the intention of leaving.

Without thinking twice, I went straight to Blake’s room to wait for him.The fight I had been putting up to give him as much distance as I could was the last thing on my mind.

I slumped onto the chair there, full of restless energy.

When he did so, he stopped startled a

    GWEN’S POV“Luna Gwen, can I ask a question?”I stopped sipping from the glass that held chilled orange juice that one of the maids had brought to me. I was seated outside on the patio, enjoying the afternoon as much as I could because being cooped up in my room was starting to take a toll on my mental health and making me feel cranky all the time. Snapping at others wasn’t my forte so I thought it best to have some fresh air.“You’ve already asked one but go ahead”Aurelia blushed and adjusted in her seat opposite me which I practically forced her into. She was adamant about remaining standing, as if she were some soldier on guard duty or something like that.“Why didn’t you confront Alpha Blake and Healer Nora when you saw them yesterday?”Her question brought back the annoying memory of the day before when I saw Blake and Nora sharing a moment or several moments together. I didn’t care to know what they were up to so I didn’t ask.“What good would have come of that?”My tone sounde
