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! Forgive me, I beg o
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 POV It was an invitation I couldn't deny and when I accepted it, I felt a rush of excitement all over my body. The earlier tension seemed to have melted down and been replaced with this perfect warm glow of happiness! I couldn't contain how excited I was. Blake had suggested we go outside for a few minutes in the garden to receive a round of fresh air which I couldn't help but agree to. With what had happened earlier tonight night, I needed the air to completely relax me and calm my nerves. Hands in hands, we stepped outside as a gush of fresh air hit us, we walked slowly in the cool night. I looked up at the clear sky which gave room for the little stars to sparkle in the night. “Aren't they beautiful?" I asked before looking at Blake who seemed oblivious to what I had just said. “What's that?" He asked me. “I mean the sky with its little baby of stars sparkling in the night!" I commented before looking up again. “Yeah, they are!” He muttered before gripping me tighter.
Gwen's POV As I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw Blake's eyes widen in appreciation after letting out a gasp. He stood by the foot of the bed, his eyes doing the job of drinking me in, in a gaze. “You look absolutely stunning, I must say!" He said to me, his husky voice of desire sent chills down my stomach. “Thank you! You made that possible and I am glad you like it and know it is stunning on me!" I uttered, getting shy as I flush of pride and excitement rushed to my face. “Why don't you come closer?" He said to me with a look I couldn't mistake, it's longing and desire. Blake's POV I looked up as the bathroom door opened and Gwen slowly came out, stretching her foot front first before coming out. As she came out fully, I couldn't help but gasped and widened my eyes at what I was seeing before me. My heart was racing as I took her in all over again, she was so breathtaking and gorgeous in the sheer nightgown I had gotten for her. I was right when I said it was going to look
Gwen’s POVI woke up to the soft, warm light of the morning, breaking through the curtains. Slowly, I opened my eyes to the comforting weight of Alpha Blake's arm across my waist. I lay there for a while, soaking in the peace of the moment. Turning my head slightly, I could see Alpha Blake's face, relaxed in his sleep. He looked so serene, and a smile crawled onto my lips while I took in the details of his features.For a few minutes, I did nothing but stare at him, the line of his jaw, the soft resting of his dark eyelashes on his cheeks, the gentle rise and fall of his chest with each breath. A feeling of tenderness washed over me as I thought about just how lucky I was that he was in my life.Unbeknownst to me, Alpha Blake had woken sometime earlier and was merely feigning to be asleep. He could not help but bask in the feeling of being so closely watched and admired. Unable to contain himself anymore, he let out a fit of laughter.My eyes widened in surprise as my face fl
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
