Gwen’s POV

As 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

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 The door of the pack hall suddenly opened as I looked up to see Alpha Blake with a serious glare. “Are you okay, Gwen?” He asked me, looking concerned.“Yeah, I am fine! They won't just let me enter even when I ask them politely!” I whined, feigning annoyance and an innocent act before Blake. “You don't ask Gwen, you command! You are the future Luna! My Luna!” He addressed me before turning to the guards by the door with a stern look.“And what insolent act from you was that towards your Luna? Or don't you think your Luna should be current about the issues going on in the pack?” He addressed them.“We are sorry, Alpha Blake!” They apologize, repeatedly bowing. Alpha Blake gestured for me to walk over. I gave the guards a strict glare before walking into the pack hall with a step that was bouncing and it radiated my happiness in each stride. I must say it seemed like the meeting was in full swing with the elders in deep discussion. As we walked further into the hall, I

    Gwen's POV I filled my plate with Mac and cheese as I quickly took a spoonful of my meal. The delicious spread before us was with it. Blake slowly ate into his fresh salad which I was considering eating later after eating the roasted chicken placed in the center of the table then maybe the hearty stew beside it. The air was still filled with the comforting aroma of the food before us as I was literally tasting it in my mouth. I looked around me and then focused my gaze on Blake whose demeanor I couldn't read. He looked upset but not upset, instead relaxed and I didn't want to provoke him or open up to something I didn't like. “Isn't this lunch amazing?” I asked him before taking another bite of my creamy Mac and cheese. “Yeah, it is!” He replied dryly without looking at me. “I wish I had a hand in preparing all this! I will be more proud when eating it but the amazing kitchen staff of this prestigious pack house did a beautiful job! All thanks to them!” I uttered, unable to close

    Gwen's POV I looked out the window which was dark as I watched the garden, surprisingly there wasn't any thought running around in my head. Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. I was going to ignore it when the knock came again. I was forced to go walk to the door where I opened it to see a young lady who bowed immediately when she saw me. “What do you want?” I asked her, looking left and right. Wondering what she was doing down by her room without anyone but her daughter after a while. “Alpha Blake asked that you be escorted to his room where you will be having dinner!” She explained without looking at my face. “Oh really? Just a minute!” I uttered in excitement before excusing myself. I was so fluttered with excitement as I dressed up then walked out of the room, the young lady leading me to his room. I was eager to see him as the rest of the day's events after the lunch we had together had left me feeling so restless and blank. So I was looking forward to this peace

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.

    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 didn’t even remember that I was supposed to give him a hard time in having my attention. I just wanted to get to the bottom of the matter at hand once and for all so we all knew what was going on for goodness' sakeWhen I got there, as expected, he wasn’t there because he was too busy gallivanting the whole arena with Nora at his side. 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
