Gwen's POVI watched as days turned into weeks and I found myself becoming more comfortable in my new pack than I had ever been! However, there was a little hesitation from me when I noticed how nice and caring the whole pack members were unlike in the Stormfur pack where they were hostile and so condescending.Alpha Blake had urged me to always come out of my room and explore my new surroundings and with his help, I had met new people, enjoyed myself, and felt comfortable and relaxed.I was happier than before, though I still had my strange dreams which I haven't told anyone, not even Alpha Blake but I hope one day I will be completely honest and courageous enough to drop all the burden I was bearing.All the members of the pack, even though at higher levels all related well and they were unlike anyone I had ever met. Alpha Blake and his pack members were kind and genuinely caring towards me which stood in stark contrast to the cruelty I had to experience with Derek and in Stormfur p
Blake's POVI was captivated by her presence and couldn't help but stare at her. She was mesmerizing and breathtaking since the first day I set my eyes on her. I can't deny that there isn't something that drew me to her, something special apart from our special bond mate. There just had to be an invisible force that compels me to her and also makes me want to learn new things about her.She was very different and unique in a way that stirred something up in me, deep within.She might be an omega but she was just too beautiful to be just an omega and I was curious to know her more. Her type won't have warranted a second glance from me but like I said she had become the center of my world.As much as I was interested in finding other things about her, I had to task my beta, Felix, to help me with some findings about her. Who was she? Who are her parents? Where they are and likes and if she was actually telling the truth about her past to me. But I don't think anyone with reasonable sense
Gwen's POVIt had been an amazing day with Blake as I collapsed into my bed. As tired as I was, my mind couldn't help replaying all the beautiful moments spent with him. His promise and obvious care for me. I was grateful for this lot, never ever have I thought someone would care for me deeply but here I was. Then I remembered the moment Blake said he wanted to tell me something.And for a short hopeful moment, I thought he was going to confess his feelings for me but I think I got over myself with that as he brushed it off as nothing. I shouldn't have gotten over myself, he cared for me platonically even though it wasn't as romantically as I thought. I am okay with that, at least he cared for me which was better than my treatment in Stormfur Pack over the years.Though this harsh reality bit and gnawed at me, I allowed my resolve to be hardened. I needed to clean up and the thought of getting up to do that felt like work. I was becoming lazy!Just then there was a knock on my door wh
Gwen's POVBlake's question bothered me but in a good way. For a few seconds, I wondered what his meaning was. Did he really want us to sleep together?Not like I had a problem with that but I took a little time to process his words."Hey, don't think it through so deeply, I was only joking." He had this very sincere look in his eyes that I almost cursed him for such an expensive joke.I remained quiet unable to voice my intentions and desires as well."I'll arrange for the maid as you have requested but in the meantime I think you need to rest a while. Blake was so gentle that I hated myself for repeatedly thinking too much about so many things.'He is just a good guy that genuinely cares about you, Gwen!' I scolded myself inwardly for ever thinking otherwise."Do you by any chance mind if I cross a fancy line and trespass a little?"Wait what?!What was he talking about?"Huh?" I could barely comprehend his meaning, I raised a questioning brow but he only asked for courtesy sake, my
Gwen's POVI woke to a piercing ring in my eyes as I felt a strong surface around me, the sensation I got was both comforting and unfamiliar. I opened my eyes and everything was blurry for a minute before my eyes adjusted and I found myself staring into the piercing blue eyes of concern that belonged to Alpha Blake.His eyes held a mixed expression of worry and concern and something else… something deeper than I could place a finger on. I slowly averted my gaze from his and allowed it to wander around the room. I was still in my room but on Alpha Blake's arm. I caught sight of Aurelia and Elgiva standing nearby, they both looked sad, anxious, and curious and I could understand their emotions. Their first day of serving me hadn't gone well.My eyes finally caught the sight of Nora who was hovering over her healing tools and some visible herbs and she had a face masked with cold disdain. I know that look anywhere, it was the only way most people at Stormfur Pack looked at me and I have
Gwen's POVI was taken aback by Blake's question as I stared at him in utter confusion. Why would he say such a thing? How does my fainting have anything to do with killing him?“Blake, what do you mean by that? I didn't even know when I fainted or why I fainted even though Nora said it was a result of stress and I should rest! I literally don't know what you mean,” I asked him, concerned and confused etched across my face.But instead of answering my question, he inhaled sharply and loudly which caused his shoulder to rise and fall with the deep breath he took. He just shook his head at me before standing up from where he was seated.“I will never try to kill you as you have only been the kindest person I have come across in my whole twenty plus years on earth,” I said to him, trying to answer to the best of my knowledge. Why would he think I was to kill him? That's absurd, isn't it?“Don't worry about what I said, it is not of any importance!” He said with a soothing yet distant voi
Gwen's POVI stirred in my sleep as I became conscious of my surroundings and woke up, I opened my eyes to see Alpha Blake beside me, smiling.His presence provided a comforting anchor in the midst of turbulent turmoil going on within me. I suddenly felt teary as tears gushed from my eyes, spilling over at an uncontrollably rate. I don't know what had come over me but I was just emotional.My thoughts were behind me and I wasn't myself anymore, I wrapped my arms around Alpha Blake's neck without even thinking and sobbed into his broad shoulder. He also wrapped his strong arms around me and started murmuring soothing words with a steady balm voice which alleviated my fear and melancholy demeanor.“Hey, Gwen! What's the matter? It's okay! You don't have to cry anymore! You are safe in my arms!” He said aloud, consoling and calming me but I just continued to pour out onto his shoulders.He was gentle and calm and even patient as he just allowed me to continue crying, he then started strok
Gwen's POVBlake put me under his watch throughout the day. I was with him and whenever I protested or informed him of my need to just be alone in my thoughts, he would glare at me hard.“I see it's your plan to kill me as soon as possible!” He said to me in the morning after I had used up all the herbs Nora brought for me then he requested I follow him to his room but I refused.“There you go again! And how do I intend to kill you?” I asked him, if he thought I was about to kill him, I might as well know the way he thought I was going to do that just in case it's useful.“With your carelessness towards your own health! I can't afford to lose you, Gwen! You already fainted twice and we don't know what will happen next! What if you find yourself in a not so conducive area and you faint again, do you know the result of such action? I can't let the mistake I repeated the first time happen the second time!” He explained, rubbing my arm.“Was that what you meant when you said, you were too
BLAKE'S POVThe fear in the eyes of the midwife made me want to rush to the delivery room and bring out my wife. At this point, I did not mind not having to have our baby for now. All I wanted was to have my wife back in one piece.“What…what's the problem? " What's going on?” I yelled at her, losing the last ounce of self-control I had left in me. The midwife instantly transformed with fear and my heart started beating fast. “She…uhm, Luna is having issues breathing, and she keeps crying even after the baby.” She said and my heart dropped. I instantly returned Nathan to her and ran into the delivery room when Gwen was screaming her head off.“Don't let her take me, Blake. " Don't let her take me, please.” She was crying and writhing in pain. So much that our mate bond began to hurt me as well. I rushed to her and held her hands, Then I noticed the midwife returning to the room with our baby in her hands and I got an idea.“Give me the baby,” I instructed the midwife and she passed h
GWEN’S POVAs the days got closer to my due date, my body felt the stress of carrying another life apart from the one that it was used to carrying. My back hurt, my knees hurt, my feet ached, and even my stomach wasn’t left out as the sensations in there felt very uncomfortable. My baby was kicking so hard that I was convinced he wanted to become a footballer or an athlete and was ready to get straight into the field once he was out in the world.Every night before I went to bed, I had to get a massage of my waist and my swollen legs because they just ached so badly. Even Blake had gotten to apologizing for making me go through all that I was going through because of his big-headed baby. I knew that pregnancy was supposed to be a glorious time and mine used to be but it was fast losing its sparkle and becoming a trying time.As if all of that wasn’t enough, the heartburn I was suffering had me staying away from foods I craved so much all because they set the heartburn off so much. So
GWEN’S POV“Bring the other box for me”I had been buying a lot of things in preparation for the baby’s arrival and I just knew that I was going too crazy with my purchases. The baby wasn’t here yet but if I didn’t want to buy any clothes for the next year, we were still going fo be alright.The box was brought to me and opened to reveal a blue jumper that looked like the best thing ever created in the world. We awwwed and ahhed at it before setting it aside to look at the contents of the next box.“Woah, I wasn’t informed that we were opening a supermarket in our room”I flew off the bed I was sitting on and into the arms of Blake, who was at the door as he had only just come in. It was lunchtime, so I wasn’t surprised to see him. We shared a kiss and then, I dragged him to bed with me to look through my purchases with me.“You got all these in blue? Why not pink?”Blake was adamant that we were going to be having a girl but I was still stuck on the hill that it was going to be a boy
GWEN’S POV“Trances are only a gateway between the past and the future. There is but a thin line which separates both time parts and the wielder of gifts should be careful to recognize that. Sometimes, the present may even get interwoven at certain points because of the emotional attachment of the wielded powers to events happening around. Trances may come as flashes in the eye of the mind and may be triggered by the five senses. The sense of touch and smell are the strongest triggers of this. Hence why a wielder should be careful what is touched because then the curtain may be shifted and what lays beyond glimpsed”I was so invested in the book I was reading that I didn’t even realize that the sun was now setting. I had picked up the book I took from Nora’s room which I had been unable to glance through for so long after lunch ane had been reading voraciously.From what I had read so far, I was coming to understand that the moon goddess had blessed me with a gift so rare that many eo
BLAKE’S POV“Could it be true?”Seated in my office alone, I pondered on the events of the previous day. I was over the moon that Gwen was now speaking to me after I explained that all the times Nora and I had met up had been for the baby we were expecting. She had been extremely skeptical and withdrew her belief in my explanations, not until my personal guards confirmed what I said.Embarrassed didn’t cut how I felt that Gwen couldn’t take my word for it but instead, had to rely on the words of my staff who served me. I understood why she wasn’t giving me her trust freely but that still didn’t take away the sting. When that case was resolved and I apologized for once again, making her feel like she was coming second in my life, I brought up the drawing.She had tried to deflect by apologizing about intending to move out but I quickly redirected her attention back to it because I knew I hadn’t hallucinated the slight sense of alarm in her voice when she asked me what I was doing with
BLAKE’S POV“So what do we do about it now?”The table broke out in murmurs as people spoke with themselves, trying to come up with a solution to the matter at hand. Things were spiraling out of control so fast that I worried if we didn’t do anything quickly, we were going to be at the mercy of our enemies.I knew that I wasn’t the only one who recognized that there was a bigger issue, far bigger than the one we were being faced with because it was clear that everyone at the table with me was worried. The meeting didn’t seem to be yielding any progress and we had been at it for a few hours already.“I’m not hearing any suggestions”When there were still no profitable suggestions more than 30 minutes later, I adjourned the meeting to two days later so that everyone had enough time to come up with something tangible that we could use to protect ourselves while we tried to understand what was going on with the strange breaking-ins we had been having around the pack.“How is she doing tod
GWEN’S POVMoving back and forth in the room, I slammed my clothes in the open suitcase on the bed, all the while muttering angrily to myself. He hadn’t even bothered to come after me, which just meant that he was okay with me leaving. He didn’t mind that I was about to walk away from our marriage and his life with our baby. Perhaps this was something I should have done a long time ago.So annoyed was I that I didn’t even bother to get everything that was mine in the drawers, deciding instead to come back for it when I was a bit more settled in where I was going to be staying till I finally left the pack as a whole. No, I had a change of mind. If I stayed, he was still going to have access to me. It was best I just left, so I could put everything behind me and start a new life altogether somewhere else.My suitcase beside me and a small messenger bag slung over my shoulder, I started making my way towards the door. I didn’t look at anyone as I walked out with the intention of leaving.
GWEN’S POVThe longer I stayed there holding my bleeding toe, the angrier I became. At a point, I turned around and started marching back toward the pack house, one destination in mind. Without thinking twice, I went straight to Blake’s room to wait for him.The fight I had been putting up to give him as much distance as I could was the last thing on my mind. I didn’t even remember that I was supposed to give him a hard time in having my attention. I just wanted to get to the bottom of the matter at hand once and for all so we all knew what was going on for goodness' sakeWhen I got there, as expected, he wasn’t there because he was too busy gallivanting the whole arena with Nora at his side. I slumped onto the chair there, full of restless energy. My foot tapping on the floor and my eyes trained on the door, I planned what I was going to say to him in my head.After what felt like centuries of waiting, the door finally opened and Blake walked in. When he did so, he stopped startled a
GWEN’S POV“Luna Gwen, can I ask a question?”I stopped sipping from the glass that held chilled orange juice that one of the maids had brought to me. I was seated outside on the patio, enjoying the afternoon as much as I could because being cooped up in my room was starting to take a toll on my mental health and making me feel cranky all the time. Snapping at others wasn’t my forte so I thought it best to have some fresh air.“You’ve already asked one but go ahead”Aurelia blushed and adjusted in her seat opposite me which I practically forced her into. She was adamant about remaining standing, as if she were some soldier on guard duty or something like that.“Why didn’t you confront Alpha Blake and Healer Nora when you saw them yesterday?”Her question brought back the annoying memory of the day before when I saw Blake and Nora sharing a moment or several moments together. I didn’t care to know what they were up to so I didn’t ask.“What good would have come of that?”My tone sounde
