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 POV I stirred in my sleep as I became conscious of my environment but I laid still because of the stinky sensation I was feeling in my leg. After a while, I felt a warm hand against me and slowly woke up, I was still feeling this strange sense of disorientation. I so much hate being comfortable and in pain. I slowly opened my eyes to the sterile white surroundings of the infirmary where I was laid on a bed. I suddenly felt the smell that comes with this place fill my nose as I opened my eyes. I closed my eyes to see that my eyes were controlling my nose as I felt terrible from the sick smell of the infirmary. The deed had been done, my eyes could not take back the smell it allowed into my nose. “Are you awake?" I heard a voice and felt the warmth of the person's hand again, beside me as I opened my eyes and turned my head slowly towards the side to see Blake with a look of concern and worry etched across his face as he held onto me tightly. “Hi!" I slowly responded with a f
Blake's POV I saw myself walking in a haste down the corridor that led to Nora's room as I was filled with a mixed expression of concern and worry and curiosity and frustration. How could two women that I cared for and loved be involved at the same time in a hot water accident? It still seems too coincidental for it to have happened but nothing was too strange for the world I live in. My thoughts were still with Gwen who was still recovering in the infirmary. All this just felt odd. I got to Nora's door and something struck me. Why was Nora still in her room when she could be receiving treatment at the infirmary just like Gwen? I know she was just an attention-seeking baby but this was her health at stake. I knocked on the door and there was no response, I knocked again and again but yet no answer. I took a deep breath before pushing the door open. I peered my head into the room first to see Nora laying on the bed, maybe asleep. I then walked into the room slowly and quietly. I wal
Gwen's POV The door slowly opened as Blake walked into the room, his eyes searching for me immediately as he stepped inside. I was still still on the bed but I was not fine. My inside was in turmoil as it was beyond words shattered. My eyes lit up as Blake’s eyes met mine, at least he was here now. “Blake," I called out to him softly as I tried to hide the sadness in my voice. I allowed a smile to spread across my face. He immediately crossed the room in a few long strides to my side then took my hand in his. “Are you okay? How do you feel now?" He asked me. “I think I am okay, just the sting from the pain, that's all!” I explained to him, trying so hard not to burst into tears before him. "How is Nora? You came back much faster than I had expected!” I said to him. "Yeah, she was just lying and playing around!” Ge simply said, trying to brush the topic away. "What do you mean by that?” I pressed on, curiosity all over me."It was a pretense! She has been warned not to do such a
Gwen's POV There was a knock on the door after a while and Blake turned to the door after pecking me in the forehead. “Yes, come in!" He called out to the person and the door opened to reveal Bera Felix who bowed at the two of us. “What is it?" Blake asked him."It's time for the meeting with the cabinet and council of elders! There is an urgent matter to be deliberated on!” He informed him as Blake looked at his wristwatch and opened his mouth at the rate at which the time had gone. “Okay, I will be there after a while. Just gather everyone for the meeting, I will meet you there!" He said to Vera Felix, dismissing him. “What is the meeting about?" I asked him after Beta Felix had left the room. “It is just on the issues of the pack and that needs to be addressed!” He said to me. "As much as I don't want to go, I have to go as the Alpha of the pack!” He said, getting up from where he sat on the bed beside me. He gently leaned in and kissed me on the forehead before giving me a
Blake’s POVI barely had time to catch my breath when my Beta, Felix burst into my chamber, his face a mask of concern. "Alpha Blake, we have a situation," he said, his voice steady but urgent.I looked up, my brows furrowing and my eyes narrowing. "What is it now?"I said"The guards have just reported another strange movement at the pack gate. This time, it seems more serious," my Beta Felix replied, handing me a hastily written report.My eyes skimmed the paper, my expression darkening further with every word I read. "Summon the elders immediately," I ordered. "We must rectify this before things get worse.My Beta Felix nodded and left to go do as I had ordered. I stood to my feet, the weight of leadership settling heavily on me. My eyes turned toward the chamber where Gwen lay, still recovering from the recent attack. The memory of her scalded skin burned brightly in my mind once more. I would do whatever it took to protect my pack, my Luna.A few minutes later, I entered the c
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

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
