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

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

    Gwen’s POVAs soon as Alpha Blake's gaze landed on me, he immediately broke his hug with Nora and walked towards me, his whole face lighting up with relief. 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

The car headlights cut through the darkness, making the twisty road light up before wending its way home, back into the pack’s territory, it had been exactly what we both needed as it offered a brief respite from the tension building between us. 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

    Blake’s POVI stood under the warm stream of the shower, the water tumbling down over my lean, muscular form. I had taken longer than normal, trying to still my racing thoughts. I knew I should be in Gwen's room, holding her, assuring her of my commitment, but I hesitated. My heart ached with longing, yet my mind was preoccupied with worry. I feared losing my control, feared that my desire might overpower my resolve.Finally, I shut off the water and got out, wrapping a towel around my waist. I caught my partial reflection in the mirror, and the look in my eyes was troubled. I shook my head and grabbed another towel to dry my hair. The desire to be with Gwen was overpowering, but I had to handle the situation carefully.I padded toward Gwen's room in comfortable nightwear. My footsteps were silent on the wooden floor. I Stopped outside her door, my hand lifted to knock, but again, I didn't. What if she was mad at me because I hadn't come earlier? Taking a deep breath, I knocke

    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 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
