Blake’s POV

Nora lay motionless with her eyes closed as if she were still asleep.

I sat beside her, my brow furrowed in worry in worry. "Nora, are you okay? You scared all of us," I said softly, my voice laced with genuine worry.

With a mix of exhaustion and relief in her eyes, Nora finally opened them and met my gaze. "I… I think so," she could only reply, her voice barely above a whisper.

I crouched at the side of her bed, my hand out to gently touch her arm. My concern deepened as I asked, "What happened to you, Nora?"

Nora stirred uncomfortably and avoided my eyes for a second before she looked at me again. "I. I don't know. I just started feeling all dizzy and weak," she replied, her voice quivering.

I nodded, my expression thoughtful. "You scared us, Nora. We thought…." My voice trailed off. I just couldn't say how scared I felt.

Are you pretending just to get my attention Nora, I asked.

No Alpha Blake, I can’t do that. Nora said.

If you say so Nora, I replied. You’re scared

    Gwen's POV I managed to slip out of Nora's room without being caught as my heart pounded in my chest with fear. The journal I had seen in her room, which might have answered all my questions about her, lay in the room where I had dropped it for fear of being caught. It weighed heavily on my mind as I wished I could have risked being caught just to have a glimpse of the book. But the footsteps of the maid I heard turned my inside upside down and I could only think of one thing, escaping. I hailed myself for being smart as where I hid, the closet was a close call! Even though the place was small and a dim space which was cramped up and even smelled faintly of cedar, I ensured I pressed myself against the back wall and barely breathed to avoid stories that touch the heart. I heard the maid first before bracing up and peering through the slats of the door to see the maid who had interrupted my mission, moving around the room gathering things for ‘poisoned’ Nora. She dumped everything

    Gwen's POV I slowly opened my eyes to see the moon cast its pale light into the room through the curtains, I tried adjusting to the soft glow it produced in the night when my eyes caught Blake staring at me, and my heart skipped a beat. I closed my eyes suddenly like I was still sleeping, I wasn't in the mood to have any sort of confrontation with him whatsoever. I was pissed with him and I don't want to see him. “Don't do that! I know you are awake, Gwen!” I heard him say to me firmly yet gently. “Open those pretty eyes of yours and sit up!” He demanded when there was no response from me. I stirred in my sleep and turned to the other side with a smirk on my face. “Come on, Gwen! Don't be childish!” He retorted. What? I almost caught myself getting up to lash out at him but I controlled myself and he was going to see a lot of childishness now! I started lightly before going into full-blown snoring.He gasped beside me and I almost laughed my ass out! “I'm dead serious! You need

    Gwen’s POVThe following morning, I paced tirelessly in my room, eagerly awaiting Alpha Blake's return. I had barely slept during the night. My mind was jammed with questions and feelings that barely let me sleep. My frustration and confusion from the night before lingered, making me restless. I needed a word with Alpha Blake to see where we stood.My two maids, Aurelia and Elgiva looked at me with concern. The older and more experienced of the two, Aurelia, cautiously approached me. "Lady Gwen, would you like some tea to calm your nerves?" she asked gently.I shook my head, barely acknowledging Aurelia at all. "No, thank you, Aurelia. I just need to see and talk to Alpha Blake.".The younger maid, Elgiva, tried to smile reassuringly. "I'm sure Alpha Blake will be back soon. He has to be dealing with some important pack business or something."I sighed, continuing my pacing. "I know, Elgiva. It's just. I need to understand what's going on. Everything feels so confusing and overwhel

He was about to open his arms to embrace me when I took a step back, my expression a mix of hurt and anger.The smile faltered on Alpha Blake's lips, confusion doled in his eyes. "Gwen, what is wrong?"I folded my arms across my chest, the weight of my concern and suspicion pressing down. "What is wrong, you are seriously asking me that? All day I was here waiting for you, Alpha Blake. I was so worried, I was so anxious, I could not eat, I could not think straight. And there you are hugging Nora, instead of coming to find me."His eyes widened, feeling the guilt and surprise. "Gwen, I …..”I cut him off, my voice trembling with emotion. "Do you know what that's like? To be so desperate to see someone, to talk to them, only to find them in someone else's arms?"Alpha Blake flinched as if I had struck him across the face, his ha

    Gwen's POV “Come here, my cutie pie!” He squealed with laughter. He suddenly dragged me into his arms, his strength overpowered my struggles underneath him as he wrapped his arms around me tightly. Why was he hugging and laughing at me when he had just hugged Nora a few minutes ago? Was he supposed to hug her when he had me? We already discussed it but it still felt… that's just ridiculous! I felt another surge of emotion explode within me as tears just streamed down my face effortlessly, I was literally crying like a baby against his chest. “Not again, Gwen!” I heard him say as he patted my back. “I know right? I shouldn't but I can't help it!” I uttered with a hoarse voice. His suddenly tight hug made me feel the need to cry again. This felt like he was consoling me from something, I had to cry to make everything fall into place besides the frustration and hurt from these past few days were just getting to me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't but I just can't help it! “Okay, Gwen why d

I and Alpha Blake talked about the movie, we laughed at the good parts and the funny scenes, and for some hours everything seemed okay and normal again.As Alpha Blake turned toward the gate of the pack's compound, Alpha Blake slowed the car a bit, a scowl furrowing his face and his eyes narrowing in confusion. Standing by the gate was Nora. Her figure was illuminated by the car's headlights. Seeing her, my heart sank, my earlier worries and concerns returning.Alpha Blake tossed his car into park, then turned to me, whose brow I could see furrowing in the driver’s seat.

    Gwen’s POV I felt the flutter of anticipation at the question of whether or not I was part of his future. The question hung in the air, and Alpha Blake's eyes went soft. He opened his mouth to respond but then he glanced at Nora, who stood a few steps away, her eyes were filled with a mixture of sadness and longing. Alpha Blake hesitated once again, the words catching in his throat."Alpha Blake?" my voice was barely above a whisper, it was laced with hope and anxiety.Alpha Blake dragged his attention away from Nora to look at me. His face twisted in agony since he knew that the words spoken would determine our future, and shatter Nora a bit more. "Gwen, can we talk about this some other time? Please, it's…..complicated."My smile faltered as confusion and hurt clouded my eyes. "What do you mean, Alpha Blake? Why can't you just answer me?"Alpha Blake sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration, before he said, "Gwen, it's not as easy as you think. There are things you

    Gwen’s POVThe next morning, I woke up to an empty bed, the sheets cold and undisturbed beside me. Slowly, I got into a seating position, the obvious fact that Alpha Blake hadn't returned washed over me, hitting me like a wave. I looked across at the clock on the nightstand, it was already late in the morning. With a sigh, I swung my legs slowly over to the edge of the bed and stood up, feeling a mix of disappointment and determination.I was about to go directly to Alpha Blake's room when my maids, in their nightgowns, intercepted me at the doorway. "Good morning, lady Gwen," Elgiva said cheerfully. "We have drawn your bath for you."I shook my head. "I don't have time for that right now. I want to see Alpha Blake."Aurelia moved forward, her expression gentle, yet firm. "Lady Gwen, it’s important you take care of yourself first. You will feel so much better after a bath."She saidMy irritation and frustration were obvious in my expression, but I knew they were right. I alwa

    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

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 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

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
