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
Blake’s POVI put my hands on Nora’s shoulders and shoved her hard enough to break the connection, the moment Gwen turned and walked away. Nora staggered backward, her eyes flying open in surprise and confusion. She stared at me with murmured shock. "What's wrong, Alpha Blake?" she said, her voice shaking.I stepped back, literally running a hand through my hair, my face a picture of frustration and internal conflict. "Nora, this just doesn't feel right," I told her, and my voice was taut. "I've got to understand what's really going on here."Nora's eyes flickered in an effort to understand my sudden change in mood. "Alpha Blake, I told you the truth. Lady Gwen is the one who's mistaken. You have to believe me." Her voice came out begging like she was desperate to take back the trust she felt slipping away.I shook my head, my eyes hardening. "I do believe you, Nora, I said.Nora felt panic rise in her chest. She had been so close to securing my unwavering support. She took a step clo
Gwen’s POVI was surprised to find Alpha Blake in my room and yet I still stormed in, banging the door. I ignored him, and walked past him, my posture rigid, trying to camouflage the whirl of emotions that were threatening to surface. Alpha Blake watched me, his face unreadable, as I stormed around the room in rigid movements that carried purpose, putting up a few items and tidying up as if his presence did not affect me."Gwen," Alpha Blake finally said, softer, but rather equally insistently.I didn't turn around, I focused on straightening some picture frames on my dresser. "What do you want, Alpha Blake?" I asked, my tone colder than I intended.Alpha Blake sighed, and the sound was heavy with an overlay of weariness. "We need to talk."I went on bustling around, though my movements turned a lot more agitated. "About what? I think we've said everything there is to say."Alpha Blake took a deep breath, his eyes meeting mine with a sincerity that threw me off guard. "I just want
Gwen's POV“Come on, Gwen! I said I am sorry!" He pleased following me around the room. I stopped by the sitting area and turned to him, I was still angry and pissed at him. “You didn't even ask me what happened, did you know how you looked at me?" I asked him. “That must have been unconscious and that is why I am pleading with you to not be angry at me. I'm sorry!" He said for the umpteenth time as I wasn't having it with him. “You always take her side and end up hurting me! You hurt me with your ‘best friend’ attitude with her! I am supposed to be your best friend!" I yelled, wrapped my arms around my chest angrily. The more I saw the picture, the angrier I got. He held my arm and looked at me but I didn't see his eyes. I noticed his eyes were filled with regret. “Gwen, can you just look at me and see my sincerity? I am truly sorry! I shouldn't have even hugged or taken sides with Nora! And I know I hurt you with that silly action, that was why I ran here immediately to apologiz
Gwen's POV I screamed, the sound shattering the stillness of the room as I felt Blake jolted awake beside me. “Gwen, what is it? Did you have a nightmare again?” He asked me with a thick deep voice of concern… and still sleepy. I didn't respond at once as my body was still trembling with fear, uncontrollably. I looked blankly ahead with terror, I had to brace myself to look around again and this time there was a creation or was it a figure? Anyway, the figure was gone I could still see the silhouettes of the figure in my head and it left this eerie feeling which was attached to his presence. The lamp by the bedside was switched on, flooding the room with its soft glow and reassuring light. Blake drew me closer to him as he followed my gaze. He also scanned the room with his eyes darting to every possible visible corner. I guess he was looking for any sign of danger because of my reaction. “Come on, Gwen! Tell me what the problem is! What happened?" He asked me again with a more u
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
