Marcus Mason had just started a war without knowing it, and I couldn't blame him. As we ran through the woods back to our territory, Gwen's pain increased. Something must be wrong. I watched Adrian push through the woods, and I followed behind. The humans had stopped chasing. Ingrid had come through for us. She had taken responsibility for our covert mission. I owed her one. If she hadn't said we entered the human territory with her knowledge, they would have been able to count it as an offence and use it against us. I hated Richards for his sneaky behaviour. There was no way he was going to get that meeting now. One thing was certain. We needed armour and weapons. We were definitely going to war. I guess Mason knew that was why he threw caution to the wind. I felt horrible because all this was my fault. I shouldn't have answered Richards' damn call. Because of this. I was going to increase the security at our borders. The entire territory needed to come together to prepare for thi
Mason We arrived at the willows pack. I guess they had communicated about our arrival because they were waiting. Delan was there red-eyed and afraid. He had other children, but Gwen was his daughter. I watched as they carried her out of the ambulance into their hospital. It had more equipment than mine but not as equipped as the hospital in Marcus' pack, but this was where the specialists we needed were. "What happened?" Delan asked. "The humans double-crossed us. They traced their call to me. We were able to get Ginger and the children to safety, but we were not able to leave. They arrested us and injected pure silver into Gwen through the cuffs," Marcus explained, and he gasped. We followed the doctors and watched as they hooked her up to machines while they took blood samples from her. Marcus and I watched through the glass window, and all I could do was hope. How could they do this to me? I promised to make the secretary of defence go through unimaginable pain. I will make sure
Gwen I felt tired. I had been awake for thirty minutes, and the doctor had done some series of tests asking me various questions. Her countenance changed when she finished, and I wondered why. She was about to leave when I called out to her. "Is everything alright?" I asked her. My voice was weak and raspy, but she heard me. "Everything is fine, Luna. The silver is out of your system," she said, and I smiled at her. I knew Isabelle when she was a trainee. I was glad she made it. My condition must have been dire for Marcus and Mason to bring me to Willow. I was glad they did. That thing felt like liquid fire in my veins. I could not speak, and my ability to link another wolf was shut down completely. They intended to kill me with it. The moment the cuffs were clamped on my wrists, I felt the pain. It pierced my skin deeply, and I wondered why they would do that to me. It was obvious they did not use the same cuffs on my men. It was deliberate. It didn't start to burn until we we
Gwen Michael, Keith and Ingrid entered my room later. Micheal smiled at me, but I could not smile back. I felt ashamed. I felt belittled. The thought that I would need help getting around broke me. I hated being dependent, and I hated being a liability, but the ISA had made my nightmares a reality. All my life, I had trained and disciplined myself to defend myself and others, to be stronger and to be enough. I hated it and never listened when asked to back down. I always ignored orders because I wanted to help and prove myself. Now, look at me. Marcus never wanted me to do anything, to begin with, and with what the humans have done, I will have no choice but to obey when they ask me to hide or stand down. I won't be able to fight or do things I love doing. It would have been better to never have legs than for it to be taken from me like this. I held my tears, not wanting to break down in their presence. Ingrid looked uncomfortable, but she didn't need to. She was the one that got us
Mason. The medications given to Gwen had finally kicked in, and she slept off in my arms. Marcus and I gently excused her. We snuck out of bed and went to the alpha's office to talk. I noticed Marcus was still worried about the event he blamed himself for everything and it wasn't his fault Gwen wasn't mad at him she didn't blame him neither did I, but he blamed himself and looking at him I realised there was nothing we could do about it he would have to come to terms with the events and forgive himself. "That bastard," Marcus said, punching the wall. "what did we do to these humans? We never hurt them, we never tried to steal from them, we never broke the rules, we never tried to bully them even though we could. All we've ever done was keep the peace and uphold the treaty". Marcus looked at me with an angry scowl. His anger was palpable, and so was mine. I could not console him because we were on the same page. " Secretary Richards, the ISA and the entire human settlement will pay
Gwen Marcus and Mason led me outside, where they took off their clothes and shifted too. Although I was sad about my legs, I was relieved that nothing had happened to Leah. I was afraid of finding out the worst, and I hesitated before shifting. I stood and looked around through Leah's eyes, and it dawned on me that I would only be independent in this form henceforth. My heart was broken, but I was glad to be alive and still have my children and my mates. I wondered how my wolf survived the silver damage. " You did not linger in wolf form during the poisoning. I had a little silver in my system, but because you shifted back to our human form, The silver went through your human body instead," she explained at it made a lot of sense. I was grateful to my mates for their quick thinking, most especially Mason, who quickly sensed something was off with me. Marcus knew, but he didn't address it because of my stubbornness. He must have thought I would be defiant and refuse his help which I a
Gwen I slept peacefully between my men. I knew the days ahead would be rough, but I was determined to make the most of it. Marcus woke me up in the morning with breakfast. He was getting great at his sandwich skills, and I loved the effort. I commended the triplets for his improvement, but I was still lacking in that department. I ate the sandwich, and he carried me to the bathroom to get ready. He attended to me gently and lovingly. I did not know someone as strong as Marcus could be this gentle and mild. I was impressed, and I smiled. Marcus looked at me while helping me with my dress. I could do it by myself, but he insisted, and I let him. " Did I do something funny?" he asked me, smiling back, and I shook my head. " Your caring skills are impressive. I am in good hands after all." I said, and he stopped what he was doing and kissed me. " I love you, Gwen," He said to me honestly, and I smiled at him because I already knew. " Where is Mason?" I finally inquired about my ab
Gwen I kissed Mason wildly and grabbed onto Marcus. I was sitting between them, so I kissed them back and forth. Marcus took off my clothes and sucked my br**st while I kissed Mason. I moaned into Mason's mouth, and he touched my other lips. That area was more sensitive than it used to be. " You're so wet," Mason said, and all I could do was moan because they were driving me crazy. Marcus pulled my numb legs apart, exposing my sex. Mason travelled to my right bre**st and sucked my n*pple while rubbing my cl*t. Marcus sucked my left n*pple and teased my entrance. I supported my weight with my shaky hand and moaned loudly. The moment Marcus drove his fingers in, I climaxed. That was new. Unlike in the bathtub, he did not stop there. They both pulled me down. I laid down, and Marcus drove himself into me. The sensation was intense, that I screamed. It was amazing. My senses had heightened in that area. Mason brought his c*ck to my mouth and fucked it while Marcus pumped. I came twice,
