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
Mason. Gwen's pregnancy was the best news ever. I was overjoyed. My heart was filled with Joy. We had wanted this for so long and it had finally happened. I could not believe my luck. I was also grateful that Marcus was patient enough for it to happen. It was hard for him to have to cum outside her every time just to make sure that the babies have my genes and not his. I was grateful. What we had found out about Ingrid was sad, but it still did not change the fact that she betrayed Michael and used him. She should have told Michael what was going on. To us, every wolf mattered, so the fact that she felt it was okay to lead the ISA into our territory to abduct werewolves was a problem. I could understand Marcus' position on the matter. Not wanting to accept Michael back into the ranks was the wisest choice. The guy did not behave like a beta but as a fool. He should not have claimed the woman. If he hadn't claimed her, they would not have known there was something between them, and t
Marcus The whole issue with Michael was annoying. We had bigger issues to deal with. I did not understand why we had to deal with Ingrid's issues. Gwen had to understand that it was none of our business. Mason and I waited for her to wake up to discuss the issue with her because we had the intention of moving in on the humans soon. We needed to take Larry down. There was no way the president was aware of what he was doing, and unleashing the wolf terror on the Larry would force the humans to dialogue with us. The war we were all avoiding was going to happen. We could not saddle ourselves with petty issues like Ingrid. Gwen woke up a bit tired, and I felt sorry for her watching her take her meds, just to be alright. I hoped Isabelle would move quickly so she wouldn't have to depend on medication to get by. "Gwen, we need to talk," I said to her, and she looked at me. Her eyes were a bit swollen, and I wondered what was happening. "Are you alright?" I said and went to sit next to
Gwen I was unhappy with Marcus' adamant refusal to let Michael back in. The guy was remorseful and sorry and what he did was not bad if it weren't for how Ingrid had handled their situation. They genuinely loved each other. It was sad that the ISA did that to them. Mason was right when he said she should have opened up to Michael about it. That is what I would have done. If someone was threatening me, I would have told my mates about it instead of betraying them. Every wolf mattered to us, and Ingrid thinking one or two wolves would not be missed was wrong and pretty wicked of her. I wanted to see her before I told Michael what Marcus and Mason had decided. For the first time, I decided I would listen to my mates and do as they said. Going to rescue Ingrid's family was Michael's cross to bear. I was pregnant with Mason's pups and we had wanted this for a while now, this was not the time for me to go and endanger my life all in the name of friendship. I cared about Michael a lot, a
