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
Blake's POV I watched Gwen closely as she recounted what she had seen. She took a deep breath to steady her shaky breath before looking up to my gaze. She was really struggling and she could see the terror in her eyes“Blake, I… I saw something,” she started with a stammer, her body trembling uncontrollably. "I saw a creature. A figure! It was in the room, standing some feet away from the bed staring and watching us!” she explained to me as she pointed at the spot she had seen the figure who was a creature.Even though I had dismissed what she said as just stress which birthed all these, I couldn't deny the fear that laced every single word she spoke. She even moved away just because I refused to believe her but that's not true, I was just not ready to accept this!I knew for a fact that she wasn't lying in any way if making it up from some figment of her imagination. This was different from her once-usual nightmares. She believed what she saw and every word that processed out of h
Gwen’s POVThe next morning, I woke up to find out that the bed was empty, cool sheets being a blatant reminder that Alpha Blake was gone. A flicker of disappointment washed over me. I had hoped to wake up and have him right beside me, his presence a kind of comfort in the storm of emotions that swirled around us.I slowly sat up, stretched, and tried to wave away the remnants of sleep. The rows and tentative steps toward peace of the previous day replayed themselves in my mind. It felt like a fragile peace, one that could shatter with the slightest pressure. I couldn't help but wonder where Alpha Blake had gone so early in the morning.Probably off dealing more pack business, I thought, sighing softly. It was clear the responsibilities of leadership weighed heavily on him, yet what could I do? It didn't mean I couldn't feel the pang of loneliness, and uncertainty.I slipped out of bed, my bare feet striking the cold floor. I put a robe around me and padded over to the window. The su
Blake’s POVI and my Beta, Felix, walked in silence as we made our way through the dense forest leading to a cabin hidden far away from anyone else, the pack seer's cabin. The air was rife with anticipation, every rustle of leaves and snap of twigs beneath our feet just amplified that tension between us. My mind was a jumble of questions I hoped the seer could answer, questions that had been plaguing me ever since Gwen's revelation about Nora.Felix, feeling my internal conflict, finally broke the silence. "Alpha Blake, are you quite positive about this? You know the seer has never been one to give direct answers. Sometimes, her prophecies can be more confusing than enlightening.".I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I know, Felix. But I need some clarity. Gwen's accusations against Nora have shaken me. I need to know the truth, and if anyone can give me a glimpse of it, it's the seer."Felix nodded, understanding the weight of my words. He, too, felt the unease that had set
Gwen’s POVBack and forth across my room, I paced, a jumbled mess of thoughts in my head. I had been desperately awaiting Alpha Blake's return, knowing that his visit to the seer could hold the key to understanding strange happenings within the pack. When one of the guards finally relayed that Alpha Blake had returned, I wasted no time. She rushed to Alpha Blake’s room, my heart was racing with hope and fear.The night was quiet with the moon shining brightly above, its rays a silver, glamour cast across the lands. I moved swiftly down corridors with my steps quick and determined. I needed to see Alpha Blake and hear what the seer had revealed. At his door, I did hesitate before knocking softly."Alpha Blake, it's Gwen. Can I come in?" I said, my voice barely audible.There was a slight pause before I heard Alpha Blake's tired voice from the other side. "Come in, Gwen."By the time I entered the room, Alpha Blake was undressing. His jacket was already off, and he was unbuttoning h
Gwen's POV I sat up and looked around, the night was quiet and still, save for the faintest rustling that was going on outside the window which is from the leaves. I looked to my side where Blake lay looking tired and stressed even though his breathing was deep and steady. I slowly took his hand off my body and then waved in his face to ensure he was fast asleep. Satisfied, I carefully slid out of the bed with my heart in my mouth as it pounded so hard and fast. I moved away slowly while straining my eyes to avoid making any sort of noise that might walk him up. He slightly stirred in his sleep as I held my breath and watched him for any sign of consciousness. After a while of watching, he was still motionless, I carefully dropped my legs then quietly padded across the room, grabbed a coat gently with slow movement opened the door, and turned to look at Blake who hadn't moved and l released his breath I had been holding. I peered out of the door into the corridor to see that it wa
Gwen's POV I looked around as I was surrounded by darkness, I quickly crouched behind the large couch that was in the corner of the room as darkness enveloped me. The fabric used on the couch brushed against my skin as I pressed myself further into the shadows without a noise and shallow and silent breathing. I squeezed my chest as the pounding of my heart echoed so loud, I could hear it in my ears and feared it might give me away. I brought my knees to my chest and hugged them, I could feel every muscle tense with the possibility of the ability to spring if necessary. Through the soft glow of the moonlight that crept through the thin curtains, I could see some areas as they cast faint patterns everywhere. I placed my head on my knees as I strained my ears for any sound or movements of someone or something or just even a sign of someone walking into the room. After a while, I looked up and I saw something with the help of the faint silver rays of light which came through from the w
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
