Gwen’s POV

I could sense the tension, right from the time Alpha Blake entered my room, despite his effort to appear composed.

I noticed the subtle signs that all was not alright, the subtle tightening of the edges of his eyes, the slight hunch in his shoulders, and the forced calm in his voice when he spoke.

"How did it go? The meeting?" I asked, trying to sound casual and lighten up the room.

Alpha Blake smiled, but I noticed it didn't reach his eyes. "It went fine. Just the usual discussions about security and patrols."He said sighing a bit too loud.

I raised an eyebrow, not buying his nonchalant response. "Alpha Blake, I can tell something's bothering you. You don't have to hide it from me."

Alpha Blake sighed again, running a hand through his hair. "I don't want to burden you with pack matters, Gwen. You're still recovering.

"I'm stronger than I look," I said, my voice firm. "And I want to help. Please, just tell me what's going on."

I watched Alpha Blake closely. I could see

    Gwen’s POVMy mind was a whirlwind of doubts, resolution, and determination. I knew I had to inform Alpha Blake about my suspicions regarding Nora. The safety of the pack depended on transparency, even if it would mean creating tension between us. At last, I summoned up enough nerve and courage to face Alpha Blake.Scenarios of how Alpha Blake would react raced through my mind. Yes, I knew Alpha Blake was a man who valued loyalty and honesty above anything else, but this was about his close friend Nora. The relationship and bond between Alpha Blake and Nora were complicated, and I feared the repercussions of my revelation, but I had to say something because not saying anything kept making me feel uneasy.I glanced towards Alpha Blake where he sat at the window, he seemed lost in thought. His eyes were distant, portraying clearly the commotion and turmoil within him. I took a deep breath and coughed slightly to bring back his mind and announce my presence because I felt like he

    Gwen’s POVI finally wrenched myself free from Alpha Blake's grasp. My patience was finally boiling over. "You know what, Alpha Blake? I really don't care whether you believe me or not. But you need to keep a closer eye on the friend you believe so much."Alpha Blake's eyes widened at my harsh tone. "Gwen, it's not that I don't trust you—""Isn't it?" I cut him off, shaking as I spoke. "You're more willing to believe that I'm wrong or I'm seeing things than to consider that Nora might not be who she says she is."Alpha Blake sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's not about believing or not believing. It is about needing proof before I can act. If you accuse Nora of this crap without evidence, it could bring chaos within the pack. You really need to be sure."I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. "I don’t understand that. But while you're waiting for proof, she could be plotting something terrible. Can't you at least promise me you'll keep an eye on her?" the person yo

    Blake’s POVI paced back and forth across my chamber as my mind rebelled with thoughts racing within me. I kept replaying the conversation I had with Gwen, her words echoing in the quiet room. She had been so sure, so adamant about what she had seen. Yet, I found myself grappling with doubt. Could Nora, someone I had known and trusted for so long, be involved in something so sinister?I stopped at the window, looking out over the moonlit grounds. The pack grounds were quiet, but I didn't feel anything in the serenity. My mind couldn't seem to rid itself of the image of Gwen's serious expression and the pain in her eyes when I dismissed her concerns. I hadn't intended to hurt her, but the accusation against Nora seemed just so outlandish, so unlike her.My thoughts strayed back to the past, my times with Nora. We had practically grown up together, we had fought through endless battles together. She had always been there for him, a solid friend, a strong and true friend. The thought

    Gwen's POV I had been discharged and sent to my room so when I woke this morning, I laid in bed for a while as I looked at the way of morning light that came in through the curtain. I sat up then inspected my leg and was surprised that it was completely healed, the area was just darker than my usual skin and the pain that came with it was gone. But I knew the darkness was going to go out after a while, moving the leg cane with no struggle or pain and I was glad for that. I got out of bed without any discomfort and even matched, there was no pain. I couldn't do this before but this will give me the ground to move as I have wanted and get those things I want sorted out. The door opened as Aurelia and another maid walked into the room with a warm smile as they bowed at me immediately after they got to my side. “Good morning, my lady! How was your night?" She greeted and asked as the lady beside her bowed again. "Good morning Aurelia! I am good as you can see!” I replied with a smile

    Gwen's POV I spent the morning in my room reading the books I picked from the library and after a while, I thought it was best to use this moment when I show Nora by the garden. I had noticed that most times when she stepped out of her room, before she was back in it was till dusk or late evening. My maids were in the room as they brought me some snacks earlier and just decided to stay and arrange my closet. I stood up and walked up to them. “You can both leave, I think I need to rest as I was feeling tired!" I explained to them as they nodded in understanding and bowed before walking out of the closet towards the door when I stopped them.“Wait up! Do you think Alpha Blake is back?” I asked them as they exchanged looks and nodded negatively. "I am not sure as I am not certain if he is back!” Aurelia replied sincerely as she thought deeply but nothing. "I am not sure also but before coming here about five minutes ago, I saw Beta Felix walking into the building!” Elara uttered, loo

    Gwen's POV I was surprised and startled, to say the least, but I was very quick to recover and straighten my posture. Nora's surprise also faded into a sneer as she glared at me. Even though I was still in shock and disbelief which made me speechless, I didn't let her see through me and just met her gaze with the same intensity as she. “Well! Well! Well! Who do we have here? ‘Lady Gwen’, what are you doing here? You seem to have lost your way or should I say memories?" She asked me with a voice dripping with condescension which struck a nerve in me but I had to be calm because I brought this on myself. If I had remained in my room, Nora wouldn't be here sneering and glaring at me with a condensing voice. “I have every right to move to whatever wing of the pack house I was to see and I was just taking a harmless walk. How is that an issue for you? I wasn't walking on your head, I wish I could, or was I walking in your room? You just happen to see me at the front of this and I didn't

    Gwen’s POVMy eyes widened as I watched the confident smile playing on Nora's lips. The defiance in Nora’s voice, the absolute lack of fear, sent shivers down my spine. I had expected denial perhaps anger, but not this brazen display of confidence. Like Nora believed she was untouchable, beyond reproach."What's the matter, lady Gwen?" There was almost a mocking amusement in Nora's voice. "Surprised?"I steadied myself and gathered my thoughts, refusing to be intimidated by Nora's haughtiness. I’m surprised by your audacity, I said. "To think you'd be so bold about it, Nora. I never believed you would be capable of such things."Nora laughed, but the sound felt almost sinister in the still room. "You think you can catch me in the act? Expose me, By all means, go ahead and try. But they prepared for the consequences of what I will do to you."I took a single step closer, narrowing my eyes. "What are you talking about?"Nora’s smiled a bit wider. "Oh lady Gwen, you're just terribly je

    Gwen’s POVI stood frozen, my heart aching as I watched the scene unfold before me. With very slow, deliberate steps, Nora started walking toward Alpha Blake, her shoulders shaking hard with the effect of her tears. She looked so vulnerable, so broken that, for a moment, I almost doubted everything I knew about Nora. Almost. I had hoped, perhaps naively, that Alpha Blake would see through Nora's act. But as Nora reached where Alpha Blake was, she threw her arms around him, and my heart sank. Alpha Blake's facial expression was a mix of worry and perplexity as he spread his arms to accommodate Nora. She collapsed into them, her sobs muffled against his chest. A stab of hurt and disappointment pierced through me. I had expected lots of things from Nora, but this display of vulnerability and manipulation, I never expected such."Nora, what's wrong?" Alpha Blake asked softly, his voice laced with concern. He reached out, stroking her hair in comfort.Nora just held him tight, her sob

    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
