Gwyneth Marcus carried me to bed and held me in his arms. We cried together that night, and for the first time, Marcus was thinking of us leaving everything. I knew it would be unwise, but it was too much. I held on to Marcus's arms on my belly, and he held on tight as we spooned. We both knew there was a lot to do. Bodies to bury, people to console, and a traitor to question and a plan to make, but we needed the peace and quiet. We needed peace. We deserved peace, and I held my baby bump. My heart went out to Ginger and my father. This wasn't the time to bring a baby into this world. If the war is still on when she gives birth, I will plead with my father to give everything up and go and live like a human in the human part of our world. It was the least he could do for his little one. "Gwen, I never meant to put you through this," Marcus said softly, and I knew he was telling the truth. "I never thought I would need you to fight by my side. I just wanted you to be happy, away from
Gwyneth We had no more time to waste. My emotional breakdown was over. It was time to dig into the matter. Marcus and Mason had secured Alen for questioning, and Mason wanted to do the torturing. We knew we were going to kill him after we had squeezed all the information we could out of him, but there was no need to tell him that. We just wanted the pack wars and the drug epidemic to end. It was crucial for the survival of the werewolf race. I went to check on my father and Ginger while Marcus and Mason went to question Allen. Marcus wanted me away from the mess, and Mason agreed to it. It was best I stayed away for now. They did not want me to hear anything that would make me break down again. I agreed with them without arguing, and Marcus noticed that the pregnancy had made me emotional because I used to be tougher with my emotions than I was now. Driving to my father's house, I noticed most of the Pack members were mourning. Some were singing the Willows Solidarity song. I sang a
Gwyneth I returned to the Alpha house angry at my father. Why would he want to put that woman's life in danger like that? I was very angry at him. I sat on the bed in the room, seething with anger. I could not wait for Marcus and Mason to return, so I went to join in the interrogation to get my mind off things. I got to where Alen was being held and questioned. Most of the Kappas that were there were angry, and I knew what they wanted. They wanted Alen dead. They must think we intended to set him free. I kept our plans to myself and went into the questioning room. Mason's hands were covered in blood, and I noticed that he had beaten Allen to the point that he was not recovering anymore. I noticed Alen wasn't in chains, and I asked Marcus, who was laughing at what Mason was doing to Alen, why. "Mason wants to show him who is boss. Mason thought it wouldn't be a statement if Alen wasn't bound while he beat him. Unfortunately for Alen, the drugs have messed up his system and his wolf.
*Warning Explicit Content*GwynethWe returned to the Alpha's house with a lot of information. Mason wasn't happy about the actions of his uncle and cousins. The feeling was mutual. They had cost a lot of lives and created chaos in the werewolf community. To think that Simone was thinking of spreading that chaos into the human world was wicked and cruel. With all we learnt from Alen, the bitch lived for profit only. I wished we had a way of tracing her and bringing her down. Our lives would be much more simple, and we wouldn't have to lose any more people.Mason headed to his room, leaving Marcus and me in the common area. As soon as Mason left, Marcus decided he would take a nap, and I followed him."It seems like Mason is no longer interested in sharing a mate," Marcus said, and I was quiet. I had noticed it too, and I couldn't believe it took Marcus this long to realise it."He told me he needed time to forgive
Gwyneth The whole experience got me exhausted, and I slept for a while. Marcus' phone woke both of us up from sleep. When he checked, he saw Epsilon Thompson had called several times and was still calling. Marcus had to answer immediately because he was the one in charge of the Eclipse pack while Michael, Alfred and Scott were away. Marcus sat up lazily to receive the call. He spent a while on the phone and then hung up. He sat back on the bed and ran his fingers through his hair, and I got worried. "What is going on, Babe?" I asked him, and he turned to look at me. "Eclipse is about to be attacked. They have broken our defence at the forest pack's border and are heading towards our pack." He said, and I crumbled inside. Why couldn't we catch a break? Marcus got up, and Mason walked in. Marcus must have linked him to come. "I am heading back to the Eclipse pack. You and Gwen should remain here. I need you here to keep the Willows grounded and make sure Gwen doesn't do much. She w
Gwyneth I went out to see what was happening, and they had brought the fight towards the alpha's house. I saw Adrian fighting, and I became scared because it was just him against three vicious-looking wolves "Hide Gwen," he said through the mind link, but I knew he stood no chance. It was as if they knew where to come to, and they were trying to get to me while Mason was fighting them off. As enhanced as his wolf was, these wolves were bigger and angrier, I knew I had to join in, but I was pregnant. I had two options. Run and hide and leave Mason to fight, or shift and hope my baby survived it. I heard Adrain whimper, and I knew what I must do. I apologised to my little one and shifted slowly. It was painful, but that was the only way I could do it gently without affecting my womb. I joined in, and Mason was mad at me, but he had no choice but accept the help. We fought together, and I took some deadly blows. I could not leap into the air and hit their heads as I would do normally.
Marcus A day had passed since I returned and found Gwen unconscious on the bed. The doctor explained that the trauma of the fight had affected her uterus walls. The doctor had told me not to worry because Alpha breeds just like Alpha's heal faster than other wolves. By the next day, her womb was fixing itself rapidly, and the baby was strong. We still did not want to know how many we were expecting and their sex. It was important to keep her sedated to heal her womb faster. The doctor said she would be okay in a few days. Mason had been hard on himself since it happened, and I didn't help matters either when I stormed in and implied it was his fault. But I knew how stubborn Gwen was, and I knew she must have gone against his will. The fact that he had to use his authority on her to make her shift, implied how stubborn she was. I wasn't happy with Alpha Delan Mackenzie either. He could have taken my order and his daughter's advice and excused Ginger and himself from this matter. Mason
Gwyneth Everything seemed blurry at first, then everything became clear. I remembered what happened, and I wondered why Mason was so scared. I moved my head and saw Mason and Marcus sitting on chairs in the room. I was so happy to see Marcus that I wanted to get up. The moment I attempted it, I felt pain. "Stay down, Gwen," Mason said, and Marcus ran to my side. He held my hand and kissed it several times with tears in his eyes. Then he kissed my forehead and gently kissed my lips. "Stay down," Marcus said gently, and I tried to speak, but my throat felt dry. "Bring her water," Marcus said, and Mason left to get water from me. He returned with a glass and a straw from me to sip. "What happened?" I managed after lubricating my mouth and throat with the water, and Mason left the room to give me and Marcus space. "You were injured, babe," Marcus said, " And we almost lost the baby," he said, and I began to fret. "Calm down," he said, gently holding me down. "Doctor said you will be
