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

    Gwen's POV I looked around as the other maids looked at me like I was the bad person in this picture but I couldn't let them see me as a pushover. Even though she wasn't fully the one who had done this incident now, I still wanted to punish her for the first incident which would create an avenue for others to know I wasn't the kind of lady they could mess with. I was as the tension in the room grew and became thick as Blake confronted the young lady. I watched in admiration as his eyes were stern and his voice reflected a type of authority that left no room for argument, disobedience or even defiance. “I need you to open your mouth and talk! What Lady Gwen over here is saying, is it true?” He asked her, piercing her damned soul with his gaze. Her fear was so obvious as she trembled and gripped the edge of her gown on her knees, she was with tears streaming down her face, which I felt was fake, pleading and begging. “I'm sorry Alpha Blake, please, I'm so sorry!

    Gwen’s POVAs I was storming out of the room, my heart was almost beating out of my chest with frustration and anger. Deep inside, somewhere, I was hurt and I felt betrayed by the fact that Alpha Blake would so easily believe Nora over me. My hands balled into fists that I’d pinned to my sides and as I took each step down the hallway, I felt the echo of the turmoil inside.As I rounded a corner, I nearly ran straight into Nora, who was walking in the opposite direction to where I had come from. The smug satisfaction on Nora's face just fueled my flare of anger much more."What are you doing here, Nora?" I demanded, my tone really bitter and accusative. "Where are you going?""I'm going to see Alpha Blake, of course. Not that it's any of your business, Lady Gwen," she said, her lips curving in a smirk."It is my business, Nora. Everything involving Alpha Blake is my business," I said, my eyes narrowing at Nora.She let out a deriding laugh, which did not go unnoticed as it pro

    Gwen’s POVNora stood at the center of the office with a frown, her fists clenched at her sides. "You're accusing me of the word of a maid. I can't believe you, Alpha Blake. You know me, Alpha Blake. You know that isn't something I would do."Alpha Blake sighed, his eyes holding steady with Nora's. "Nora, it's not just the maid's word. It's your behavior. There have been too many incidents, too many complaints."A flash of annoyance could be seen in Nora's eye. "You think I'm lying?"Alpha Blake didn't flinch, not even averting his gaze. "You know I do know when you're lying, Nora. I've known you long enough to tell."Nora’s face crumpled, desperate frustration etched in every furrow of her face. "Alpha Blake, please. You have to believe me. I didn't do it."Alpha Blake shook his head slowly. "Nora, it isn't the first time I've had to address your behavior. It is beginning to turn out as a pattern, and it is causing way too much disturbance."Nora's voice turned pleading. "Alpha Bl

    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

    GWEN’S POV“Gwen? Why are you here?”Leaning on the closed door behind me, I folded my arms and looked at her while raising my eyebrows up.“What kind of question is that? This is my husband’s room. 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

    BLAKE’S POVI blinked at her as she laughed and laughed like she was crazy. I didn’t understand what I was seeing. 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
