Marcus Gwen loved our new home. Alfred had done an impressive job fixing the place up, and Gwen loved it. The triplets were ecstatic about our new home and kept talking about bringing their aunts over for the holiday. It was hard taking them from Ginger, especially because of Debrah, who was attached to Ginger's children, but it was necessary. Gwen wanted them home and it was important for all of us right now to have our family. I was glad to see our mate handling it well, but I wasn't looking forward to having the meeting with the six outer zones with Gwen there. I wished there was a way to avoid it. It took a lot for the three of us to come to terms with what had happened. I felt this wasn't the time to put her out there, but we needed the support if a war was to happen. The fact that the humans were yet to reach out to us about the incident meant something was going on. We tucked the children in together. Debrah let me carry her while Declan and Dean fought about who would ride wi
Mason After Gwen had received all the greetings, gifts and praises from the pack, we proceeded into the conference hall. Everyone was there, including Kara. They all stood up to greet us, and we smiled at them. "To what do we owe this meeting?" Alpha Derin said, and I looked at him while taking my seat. He was the most troublesome and disrespectful of all the Alphas. Marcus sat, and Gwen wheeled her chair between us." " What is Kara doing here?" Marcus asked, and Derin smiled. " She is my Luna," He said, and I couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't up to two weeks when she sent me a crazy message begging me to have my babies. I was glad that Gwen and I would finally rest. "Congratulations," I said to Derin and Kara didn't seem to like the fact that I congratulated them. " We wouldn't want to waste your time, so it's best we get down to business," Gwen said, and Kara giggled a bit. Her laughter did not faze Gwen. Gwen just ignored her and looked ahead. " The humans have gone agai
Marcus The incident that happened at the meeting made us proud, but it also baffled us. Gwen had silver claws. It was something that should be impossible for her to have. She was a wolf, and she wasn't immune to silver, that was why she was in her present condition. As much as it was a much-welcomed development, it troubled me because I was afraid, that it might still be poisoning her system. We returned home quietly after the meeting. I sent for Michael while Mason sent for Keith. It was time to rally all the Alphas in our territory and inform them of the new arrangement. I hoped that the wolves would be wise and not join up with the humans, but I guess they had their plans. The human government was the least to be trusted. They had proven it with what they did to Gwen, yet those idiots believed their experience with the humans would be different. Derin had instigated the others against us. Mason and I suspected there must be something in it for him to do what he did. Derin was not
Gwen I could not believe what happened to me at the meeting. Who would have guessed a werewolf would have silver claws. The very same silver that made me crippled. I did not know how to feel about this, but I was on top of the world. I felt like the baddest bitch in town. The looks on all their faces were priceless. I had become a wolf's bane. Marcus and Mason looked worried, so I had to fake it too. I had gotten my silver lining. I was happy about it. Since the incident in the human town, Everything had taken a downward spiral. The silver claws were a blessing. After dinner, I left Mason, Marcus and Michael to have their meeting and went to tuck in my children. We had lots of fun. Because it was a small house they had to share a room. We laughed and joked, and I told them scary bedtime stories. Mason always advised against it, but I loved it, and Marcus did too. They love it, so I usually wait until Mason is not with me to tell them the scary stories I could think of. They were all
Mason The border was coming up gradually, and Marcus and I were pleased with the speed at which our engineers were building it. We were making it with copper and silver. It was important for it to have the capacity to electrocute or cause a wave block during an intrusion. Most of the human weapons and equipment were automatic and electrically driven because of the green initiative. Causing a short circuit to spoil the equipment was the best option. The silver coat will be transferable in the sense that it wouldn't just burn, it would get into the bloodstreams of the outside wolves. Willow pack's chemical engineers were the ones that developed it. It was sad that we had to resort to that, but Alpha Derin and his cohorts did not leave us a choice. We had a bigger territory and more wealth on our part, there was no way the greedy humans would be content with the six territories. Soon their appetite would grow, and they would want to cross over. We needed to prepare for such a time. Gwen
Mason Pleased with myself, I rested and waited for forty-five minutes. Once the time was up, and the people I sent ahead had sent me a message stating they had settled in nicely, I got into my Jeep and headed towards the nameless diner. While driving, Kara called me many times. I guessed Derin did not find her messages funny. That was the issue with social climbers, they were never content with their life. Kara did not love me, she just wanted to be associated with me. If Marcus was approachable she would have gone for him instead. She was jealous of Gwen, and she did not bother to hide it, which was disturbing. I put my phone on silence eventually, because I needed some peace and quiet. I arrived at the diner. I looked around and saw where all the warriors I sent were seated at different tables, minding their business. They were behaving like regular customers, nothing suspicious. Then I smelled Lucius. He was sitting at a booth in the corner, wearing a face cap and a jeans jacket
Gwen. Since we started preparing for war, all of us had been engaged. I did not want to remain idle in our home, so Marcus and Mason delegated the wolf training to me. I was so excited about it. My timetable was straightforward. Training would start after the triplets have gone to school, and we will stop at three in the afternoon. We had fourteen territories, there was no way I could successfully train all of them, so I sent for the zeta warriors of all the fourteen packs to come to the eclipse pack for training. I intended to train them in batches, and they would return to their packs to train the other wolves. Because of the new development, there was a possibility we would be facing other wolves if there is a war because of the six territories that had integrated their society with the human society. It was really a pain, and a huge disappointment, but there was nothing we could do about it. While I was preparing to go to the field to train the troops that came in from Timber an
Gwen The moment I got to the fence, the crowd grew quiet. " Go on, laugh. Have your fill," I said to them with tear-filled eyes. I wasn't hurt, but I needed to act like it. Politics sucked big time. " Look at me!" I said, wheeling myself. " I went to the human territory with my mates to prevent a war!" I told them. " The humans were going to pin a series of murders on our community, and we tried to get to the button of it. Instead of welcoming our help, they did this to me. They injected me with liquid silver and lied that we snuck into their territory." I said, and they gasped. " Why the fence Luna! Our business would die. We cannot work or do business in human territory. We will be at their mercy! Why the fence Luna? We were not the ones that took your legs?" Someone asked with venom and anger, and I calmed down to respond. " If your Alphas did not tell you the truth, then they have failed you. It was your alphas decision that brought up the fence," I said, and someone interru
