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
Gwen’s POVI stood at the window, my eyes fixed on the forest that surrounded the pack’s territory.My heart was in turmoil. Since he left with Felix, his Beta, to investigate the issue in their territory, I hadn't heard from Blake. Tears gushed down my cheeks as I held the edge of the windowsill, my knuckles white from holding it so tight.Aurelia and Elgiva, my two maids, hovered nearby with worried expressions on their faces. Aurelia gently stroked my shoulder and said, "Please, Lady Gwen, try to calm yourself.""Alpha Blake is a strong and capable leader. He can handle whatever comes his way."I shook my head, sobbing loudly. “What if something happened to him? What if he's hurt, or worse? I can't stand not knowing."Elgiva knelt beside me, offering me a tissue. "Alpha Blake has faced many challenges before and has always come back victorious. He'll come back to us, Lady Gwen. You must have been strong and positive."I wanted to believe them, I truly wanted to. But it was too mu
Gwen’s POVI sat at my dressing table, feeling both frustration and anger, I clutched my cup of tea, the warmth did little to ease my fear.Aurelia and Elgiva were busy with some chores, and their attempts to console me were unsuccessful.Nora’s harsh words still echo in my mind and I took deep breaths trying to calm myself, but it was of little or no use.The fear for Blake’s safety was so overwhelming and Nora only fueled my frustration.Nora's presence loomed as she entered my room again, her expression cold as ever. She glanced at me and sighed. "Still here, Lady Gwen? I thought you'd be out proving yourself by now." She said mockingly.Aurelia and Elgiva entered the room.My grip on the cup tightened, trying to force myself to remain calm and I said “I'm doing what I can, Nora. Unlike you, I actually care about Blake."Nora's eyes flashed with anger. "And what is that supposed to mean?"I stood up and said, "It means that maybe if you had someone you truly cared about, you'd
