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
Gwen's POV “Oh my goodness, it was just a dream!” I uttered to myself as I tried to calm my nerves and my racing thoughts. I was still in disbelief that it was all a dream. If I hadn't woken up I would have believed my life was a dream.I gasped for breath, holding my heart which was pounding hard in my chest. I just had a vivid, real life dream. It felt so real I thought I was experiencing it. Because of how vivid and life-experiencing the dream was, I still remembered everything in my head. I had dreamt about Nora, why her? Why was she whispering to the hooded figure who seemed to be in a shadowy castle? What secret was she passing away? About what or who in particular? I needed answers.The figure had handed her a small pouch after she was done whispering which I suggested contained some monetary valued items. She had looked around before pocketing the pouch with a wide sky smile on her face.A feeling of uneasiness broke within me as I wiped a train of sweat beaded on my forehea
Gwen's POV I got out of the cab with a racing heart as I hurried but discreetly made my way into the pack house. The sun was beginning to rise at this moment and there was life to the pack house as some maids and guards were up and going about. I knew I needed to tell Blake what I had seen and discovered about Nora but as I got to the center of the palace, I looked down on myself and realized I wasn't looking my best for me to appear before him. I needed to change, compose, and make myself presentable. I quickly slipped to my room, the plan was to have a quick bath, dress up, and talk to Blake then I could come back and have a proper bath. I called for Aurelia and Elgiva after putting Elgiva's clothes away. “I need a quick shower and change of outfits. I need to see Alpha Blake immediately!” I said to them breathlessly as they nodded attentively and started running about, doing their tasks. Aurelia went for the bath while Elgiva went into my closet and brought out a fresh dress wh
Gwen’s POVWith evening beckoning, Blake approached me, the smile on his face made my heart skip a few beats. “Gwen," he said in a low voice, "would you like to go out on a date tonight?"My eyes were bright with excitement. "I would love that, Alpha Blake."He grinned, obviously pleased with what I had said. "Great. Get ready Gwen, and I'll be waiting."I rushed to my room. My heart was racing with the anticipation of being on a date with Alpha Blake. Her two maids, Aurelia and Elgiva, always attentive, watched her in excitement and set to work to help her prepare. They picked out a beautiful dress that shimmered and glittered with every move, it was very elegant, a soft shade of blue, which brought out my eyes to make me feel like a princess.They both helped me into the dress, and I couldn't help but stare at myself in the mirror. "Do I look good?" I asked again, with a thread of nervousness in my voice.Elgiva smiled reassuringly and said"You look stunning, lady Gwen. Alpha
Gwen’s POVThey immediately called a doctor from the neighboring pack to come and attend to Nora. Alpha Blake never left her side while she lay there, extremely worried about her condition. He caught me in the hallway, my eyes were filled with questions."Gwen, I am sorry," he said, full of remorse. "We will have to cancel our date for tonight. Nora needs immediate medical attention."I forced a smile, though inside an insurmountable well of disappointment roared. "I understand, Alpha Blake. She needs you right now. We can always do it some other time.""Thank you for understanding. I promise we will have that night."I nodded, my eyes on Blake as he quickened his pace back to Nora. I was feeling annoyed, frustrated, and deeply disappointed. I had been looking forward to this evening all along, and now everything just seemed to be falling apart.I returned to my room and tried to rid myself of the negative thoughts. My maids, noticing my mood, hurriedly surrounded me with their
Gwen's POV They won't stop chanting loudly as they go around me. From the ground rose thick white air which engulfed me, I was confused but excited at the same time. The traditional drum kept being beaten at a loud dramatic pace as if to invoke something into me. Then suddenly everything stopped and unconsciously I felt like striking a pose. I placed my left hand on my waist then my right hand up to strike a wave with a pleasant wide smile on my face. I couldn't see anything because of the air around me which slowly started to fade away and I saw Blake standing before me, upon seeing me, he gave me a very beautiful smile. "Luna Gwen Moore stands before you! Bow!" Someone yelled almost startling me but Blake's eyes on me were doing things I didn't understand and know. "We hail Luna Gwen Moore!" They all chorused.Everyone bowed before me except my husband who walked to me, took my hand, and brought me down from the platform then walked down the pathway I took while coming in. The dr
Gwen's POV The day I had been waiting for it had finally arrived. It is my wedding day. And I woke up to the soft light of the dawn streaming through the windows, nicely and beautifully. I should have known today was going to be a very beautiful day indeed. I felt excitement fluttering in my chest, down to my stomach as this was a day I had dreamt of constantly. I will become the Luna today and be married to Blake, the love of my life, my one and only true mate, and the father of my child. I was so excited and nobody could tell me otherwise, just then there was a knock on the door as my maids entered. They both bowed and greeted me in unison. "Good morning, Luna Gwen! Congratulations on this beautiful day!" They chimed with so much joy and happiness, which was evident in their voices. Luna Gwen! I am no longer Lady Gwen! I smiled broadly as I beaconed on them to come closer to me and I gave them a big hug. "Thank you, Aurelia and Elara! And good morning to both of you!" I said to

Gwen's POV I tossed around as I opened my eyes, catching the gentle morning light that filtered through the curtains. Then my eyes caught the presence of Blake who was lying beside me with his gaze intensely fixed on me. He looked so concerned, worried and... afraid? But his expression was tender. I looked around wondering how I got on the bed and who changed me. I was still trying to piece everything together when I heard Blake's voice soft and filled with curiosity. "Good morning, sunshine!" He greeted me as he pulled me into his arms, he seemed relieved when I didn't push him or say anything. "Are you okay?" He asked me as I turned to look closely. That's weird to ask someone who just woke up. I hesitated as I thought about what to say as the event of last night flowed into my head, and even though I didn't want to keep him in the dark anymore, this was for his good! Maybe I shouldn't have kept him distant at first and just come clean with everything but that opportunity is lo
Gwen's POV My breath was ragged with fear and anger towards this creature before me, I slammed the door hard in her face before turning and locking the door. I froze in terror as I took in Nora's form before me. She was just standing outside, how could she be inside my room? I seem to have forgotten the kind of creature she is. She stood in the shadows of the room with a wicked smirk plastered in her face and I could even feel it.I gasped as I almost entered the door and slipped down almost to the floor, in a sitting posture. I felt her eyes darkening with something more sinister than anger at me as she started laughing high and wickedly.“Hi, Gwen!" She greeted me before stepping forward, I almost pissed my pants, literally or not! "What are you doing here? How did you get in?" I asked her in a trembling voice. Demanding the truth of something I already know. "We both know, you know what I am capable of doing, so drop that foolish act of yours! It won't help you as it won't help
Blake's POV I looked out the window of my office as the evening wore on and took over the day. I walked back to my seat and glanced at the papers strewn across my desk. Over the hours that I have been in here, I have not been able to focus on anything. I sat down and tried to do my best to understand what was before me when I heard a knock on the door. “Come in!" I beckoned to the person at the door. Aurelia, one of Gwen's maids, walked into the office and then bowed. I straightened up at her presence and what she possibly had for me. “So what did she say?" I asked her when she was taking forever to open her mouth and talk. “Alpha Blake, good evening! I have been instructed to tell you by my lady, that she won't be coming down to eat dinner or with you either. She would love to eat dinner in her room!” She informed me. "Again?” I asked her. She nodded as her eyes were glued to the floor. "Yes, Alpha Blake!” She replied quickly and quietly. I watched her keenly and smelt the emot
Blake's POV I turned abruptly upon hearing my name, only to see Nora smile at me pleasantly like she had just won an award for the best at something. It was normal but it just felt weird. I was so confused and worried as a thought gnawed within me that she might have heard me and Gwen's conversation. She can't know that Gwen is pregnant, I don't know why she must not know. I might just be paranoid or maybe have some unnecessary fatherly instincts but I just feel something bad, something terrible is going to happen. And I am avoiding that at all costs. My heart started beating hard with fear and worry that she might know, I had to know if she knew something so I stomped over to her with anger simmering just beneath the surface but it was still obvious that I was angry. “Oh my goodness! What are you doing here? Tell me, what are you seeking? When did you get here? How long have you been standing here?" I questioned, my voice tinged with suspicion I was trying to hide and suppress.
Blake's POV “Oh shit!" I yelled, hitting the headrest before me. I should have kept it in, I should have controlled myself, now I could only stare at her as she walked away while regretting my outburst. “Oh shit!" I uttered again with deep regret. I screamed into my hands, letting out a frustrated groan then I sighed, adjusted myself then stepped out of the car. I gestured at the driver for the shameful drama that happened behind him. She bowed and got back into the car before driving away to the garage. I walked straight to the entrance and wasn't fully concentrated when I almost bumped into Nora. I wanted to walk away when she came into my way and bowed deeply. I moved back wondering what she was up to. “I would like to use this medium to say I am sorry for being rude to you Alpha Blake. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way and I apologize. I tried to get your audience these past two days but you were just so unavailable!" She apologized and then stood straight with her head
Blake's POV I looked out the window as I sighed for the umpteenth time, the journey back to the pack house just felt longer than usual because of the unsettling silence in the car. I turned to look at Gwen who had just been staring out the window with her face masked with detachment from everything around her even myself. I just couldn't fathom her or understand what was going on in her head or with her entirely. She was lost, suddenly moody, and looked unhappy, I couldn't even reach out to her as she was completely gone. I tried to break the thick tensed-up silence again so I cleared my throat and turned my full attention to her. “Gwen, don't you find it unbelievable? I still find it unbelievable that I will be a father, and that we will be parents in a few months. And this is exactly what I have dreamt about for years even before I met you and you have given me this bundle of joy on a platter of gold! I'm excited and grateful, my lady!” I said to her as she adjusted a little and
