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
Blake’s POVI lay on my bed, a smug smile running over my lips as thoughts of last night invaded my mind. How Gwen touched me, her warmth, and the first night we shared all filled my mind, and I could not seem to think of anything else. I still felt the lingering scent of her on my skin, sweetly reminding me of our night together.My beta, Felix, stood before me, reading off the latest reports on activities and issues concerning the pack. Felix was professional and thorough, but my mind kept straying back to Gwen. I tried to listen, but my head strayed as I felt a strong need to be with her."Alpha Blake, are you listening?"Felix’s voice cut sharply through my foggy thoughts, pulling me back into the present again.I shook my head a little, clearing my mind. "Yes, Felix. I'm sorry, I was just….distracted."Felix’s eyebrow arched. His lips formed into a small smirk. "I can imagine what might be distracting you, Alpha Blake."I couldn't help but chuckle, a flush rising to my che
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 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.

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
