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
Gwen I got to my office to wait for Michael. He had never sounded that disturbed before, so I was nervous. I was worried that something might have happened to my mates on their covert mission. I braced myself for the worst and waited for Michael to arrive. While I waited, I linked Alfred to give me an update on the training. " They are already good, Luna," He said and I wanted to punch him. " Of course, I know they can fight. But can their wolves fight in kevlar vests and head protection gear?" I asked, and he was silent. Just as I suspected, Alfred forgot to train them with the necessary gear. " We will be facing humans and wolves. We would have to shift to fight the wolves. The gear is to protect our hearts and brains from silver. All wolves are used to fighting naked, they have to get used to fighting with the gear, so it does not hinder their speed and agility." I said. " I am sorry, Luna, I completely forgot. Will remember to train them with the gear tomorrow." He said.
Mason My private investigator, Timber Dalton, was a highly resourceful man. I did not expect he would be able to figure out where the human armoury was. When I told Gwen about the mission, she flipped out. She tried to blackmail me with tears. The woman knew my buttons, but I had to be strong. Convincing Marcus to come with me was easy. We had a huge fight with Gwen, but she later let us go and promised me she would never forgive me if anything happened to both of us. I was scared at that moment. Being on Gwen's bad side was not a good thing. I had to be careful throughout the mission. We manage to sneak into the human town like we did last time. While we moved through the forest, we remembered the couple slaughtered in the woods and felt sorry for them. We got in a lot easier than the last time. It was as if the government had relaxed their security, which was odd, especially now that the treaty no longer stood. I started to believe Derin might have promised them a lot more than h
Gwen After speaking with Michael, I decided to linger in my office. Suddenly I did not feel like going home anymore. What Michael wanted was a big issue. I did not have any problems with Ingrid, but deep down, I did not believe she was worth the risk. I dreaded facing Mason and Marcus with this, most especially Marcus because Michael was his beta. I did not want to imagine how he would take it. I stayed in my office for almost two hours. I was about to finally leave and go home when someone knocked on my door. From where I sat, I could smell that it was Ingrid. I wondered what she wanted with me because I was mad at her. " Come in," I called out lazily, and she strode into my office. She had puffy eyes, which indicated she had been crying. Although she was trying hard to hide it with the fake smile plastered on her face. She also smelled freshly fucked by Michael. " To what do I owe this visit?" I asked her, offering her a seat and she thanked me and sat down. " The government h
Gwen I got home late in the night, and the triplets were already in bed, so I retired to my bedroom. I took off my jeans and saw the cuts from the silver whip healing gradually. Since the poisoning, my healing capacity had reduced tremendously. Doctor Isabelle had said that would be the side effect. That was also why I couldn't walk. I wheeled myself to the shower and transferred my body to a plastic chair under the shower to sit while I washed my body. I returned to the bedroom and opted to sleep naked. I was too tired and too lazy to put on anything. It wasn't long after I laid down to sleep that I slept off. I woke up in the morning, and when I checked the clock it was nine in the morning. I had overslept. I got in the wheelchair and wheeled myself to the wardrobe. Not putting too much thought into it. I grabbed Mason's t-shirt and boxers. They were easier to wear than my clothes. I wore them and wheeled out. I heard laughing in the kitchen and smelled breakfast, and I knew they
Marcus Mason and I were happy until Gwen informed us about Michael and Ingrid. I was so mad that I could not eat anymore. We helped Gwen get ready and went to the office. Gwen cancelled the training for the day because of the new development. The three of us decided to stay in my office and work from there. It wasn't long we settled in, that I sent for Michael and Scott. I was mad at him for claiming Ingrid. He should have waited to see how things would go before sinking his teeth into her. Even if she was his potential mate, he could hold out on her long enough to be sure. The potential mate pulls to humans wasn't as strong as it was to other wolves. He was reckless, and we all have to pay dearly for it. Gwen and Mason pleaded with me to be gentle and not piss Michael off. They didn't want him to leave and end up in our enemy's camp. I agreed, but I was done with him. Even though I wasn't going to tell him now, I knew he could never get close to me, Mason and Gwen again. What if th
