Gwen The next day came quickly, and it was time for me to set off to Gray pack. Scott accompanied me there. I did not want to leave my mates for fear that we do not see each other again. I wish we could be in the same place, but the humans and the treacherous wolves made that impossible. I still did not know whether to tell Mason and Marcus that I might be pregnant. I had spent the whole night contemplating it, but Leah told me to hold back until we were sure. I intended to get tested at the Clement pack to be sure before breaking the news to them. Ginger made a wonderful breakfast, and I noticed she had been crying. War was hard on us because we all had lost someone dear to us to it at a time in our lives, watching it happen all over again stirred up uncontrollable fear in us. Ginger hugged me tightly outside by the jeep. "You, come back to us alive, please," she pleaded in tears, and I nodded, fighting back my tears too. I pulled away, and my father hugged me tightly. "Make sure
Gwen I waited the next day for the vaccines to arrive. I had bought the pregnancy test kit, but I was yet to take the test because I did not want to panic. While waiting, I called my mates. Mason answered on the first ring. "Gwen," he said, and I paused a while, to compose myself. I was still missing them. "Mace, How is everything over there?" I asked him. "Quiet, lonely and boring without you. I slept alone last night. It felt weird because that would be the first time in a long time, Gwen. Marcus occupied himself. He is missing you, and we are both worried." he confessed and tears streamed down my face. I had not slept alone in a long time. Last night I tossed and turned in the bed, and even though the heater was on, I felt cold and alone. "I miss you and Marcus," I confessed close to tears, "I want all this to be over so we can get our lives back," I said. It wasn't the distance that was making me cry. It was fear of what could happen shortly that troubled my soul, and kept my
GwenIt wasn't long after Michael and I finished having our serious talk when Ingrid showed up at his house. The bitch was shocked to see me, but I maintained a calm front. She looked at my legs and smiled."Luna Gwen, you are walking again," She said looking genuinely happy for me, which made me sick and angry. I honestly wanted to beat her up and force her to confess her crimes, but I couldn't."Yes, I healed," I said, and Michael linked me to tell me to thank him for not making her uncomfortable."Why haven't you moved in with your mate?" I asked her, "I thought you were going to quit your job to be with him? He quit his job," I said, calling her out on her lies. She bowed her head in shame."It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be," she said, and Leah wanted to punch her in the face. I was trying hard not to growl at her. The hairs on my back were standing. How could she have successfully fooled a beta wolf? "Please elaborate because it is unfair and cruel not to keep your prom
Gwen Ingrid was locked up in a cell. Michael was taken to the infirmary for the bullet to be extracted from his back. Luckily it did not hit any vital organ, but because of the vaccine, he wasn't healing fast enough. I was furious and disappointed with Ingrid. I could not wait to get to the bottom of the matter. Now that we knew she was working against us. Getting information out of her would be easy. I wanted to check on Michael to be sure he was okay before going to question her. He had risked his life for mine. I would never forget it. Because of him, I would be going home to my mates. I went home to get my phone and call Mason and Marcus. The phone rang for a while, and no one answered. I didn't think much of it until I called my father, and he too did not pick up. I did not know who else to call. Everyone I had their number was with me at Gray pack. I hoped that deep down, they were fine. Alpha Liam came to see me and inform me that they had regained their territory and seized De
Mason When Gwen left for the Gray pack, we were all scared. Gwen had never gone to battle without either of us being there with her. This was the first, and it scared us. We had a lot of questions like, will she make the right judgement call? Can she take the lead? Will people listen out of loyalty? Those were our concerns. Gwen was an Alpha breed, but she wasn't an Alpha, she had no authority to command or compel respect. All the wolves that would be fighting by her side would be doing so out of loyalty, duty and love. I knew it was hard for her to leave, and I felt it. Marcus would have stopped her, he was close to it, but we did not know how Gwen would have taken it. If we had said no, she would have thought we did not have faith in her abilities. Talking to her on the phone was not enough. For the first time since we all got together, we slept in separate rooms. Marcus often went on runs to get his wolf tired, so he would just sleep when he returns. I guessed that was how he was
Gwen What Ingrid said got me worried, and I decided to rush back to Willows through the shortcut. We carried her with us in a van and moved. I wasn't willing to give her to the wolves as she asked. I had temporarily installed Michael as Beta in the meantime. I knew Marcus would reverse it, but he was needed. I tried Marcus's number, and no one picked. I tried Mason and my father, still I got no response. I ordered the driver to step on it. Something was off. "Does anyone have the phone number of the lower-ranking warrior that is currently in Willow?" I asked, and Michael frowned. "What is the matter, Gwen?" he asked me, and I did not know that I was shaking until he held my hand in a bid to make me stop. "No one is answering my call," I said, and Michael turned towards Ingrid. "If the ISA were going to attack Willow, how do they intend to get into Willow?" he asked her. She kept her head bowed and was still wailing about her mother and son, which I believed were lies, but I was
Gwen We arrived at Willow, and I was frantic. The medical staff was at work trying to wake people up from the darts, and I realised I should have at least left one human alive so he could tell us what they intended to do by shooting darts at us. Killing them was an emotional and impulsive reaction to seeing Mason the way he was. I guessed we had to rely on 'lying' Ingrid to tell us then. "Where is Marcus?" I linked Michael while the medical staff placed Mason on a stretcher to carry him to the clinic. I instructed a Kapa to lock Ingrid up in a cell and bring me the key. I wasn't going to risk anyone letting her out. I knew Michael could see her lies, but could his heart allow him to let go completely? I know mine won't, so I was taking extra measures to be sure I do not get surprised. "In the hospital recovering from the drugs," Michael linked back, and I sighed with relief. Once we got to the hospital, I ordered them to put my mates in the same room and treat them. My father sat on
Gwen Marcus woke up an hour after Mason did, and I was so glad. I did not say a word to either of them about Mason's abduction, and we returned to our room in the Alpha house. Mason and Marcus drank a lot of water, and I knew it was the effect of the tranquillizers wearing off. "Thank goddess, Gwen, you are fine?" Mason said, pulling me to his chest and then taking in my scent. The moment he did that, I knew I was busted. "Gwen?" he asked, and I turned to look at him and nodded. He was in shock. "How long?" he asked, and Marcus stopped what he was doing and walked up to me. "What is going on?" Marcus asked, a bit confused. "Gwen has my scent," Mason said, a bit overjoyed, Marcus did not get it until suddenly the realisation showed on his face, and he widened his eyes with amusement. "Since when?" he asked, overjoyed. "Before we went to Gray pack," I replied. "What! Why? Why did you not tell us?" Mason asked. "I wasn't sure, and I knew you wouldn't let me go and help." I prot
