Gwyneth The motel was small, and the Alpha of the Oak Pack had cleared the place just in case there were informants around. The motel was labelled to be undergoing renovations, so we had to enter through the back covertly. The moment Marcus and I entered the room allocated to us, I grabbed him. I needed him to satisfy me before we had to move to Gray pack. Marcus was a beast, and I liked it. He understood exactly what my body needed, and he did not hold back. He had spoiled me silly, and I don't think that I could ever stop. We laid in bed with his hands rubbing my tummy, and I slept off. I woke up in the morning strong and rejuvenated. Marcus made love to me again before we went for the meeting. Everyone was waiting in the dining room of the motel. All the Alphas joining in the fight were there for us to plan and strategise. Some of them were not comfortable with the fact that I was coming and they complained that I might slow them down because of my pregnancy. Mason stepped in b
Gwyneth We moved to the location where we had information that warriors were guarding the area. We were able to move past the locales. The place was a mess. It was terrible, and there were a lot of junkies on the streets. To think how drastically the place had changed from how it was when we came there for a party to now, broke my heart. This was a place where every wolf looked forward to coming to a party, and the same would have been for me if it weren't for the tragic event that happened on my first visit. It was sad to find it in this state. In just a few months, it had become desolate and scorched. How could Simone live with herself? What kind of a leader was she? It was obvious that she had no leading bone in her because the sight of the place was enough to make her stop, but she had pressed on. She even intended on spreading this chaos into the human community. I hated her, and I held my special beverage mixed specifically for her enjoyment. I was going to make her drink it and
Gwyneth There was no need for us to be careful anymore. We raised our guns and began to shoot. Simone took cover, and her warriors started to shoot at us. When they saw we were protected, they shifted and attacked. The silver did not put them down. They simply pulled it out of their skins, but anyone we got in the heart and the head died instantly, but most of our warriors weren't that good, so some of them had to shift. The wolves were fast and vicious. Marcus and I stood and aimed at their heads. Bringing them down. Soon there was nowhere to back into, and Marcus had to shift. "Find Simone, Gwen," Marus linked me, and I was too scared to leave him to fight those things, but I listened to him and went after the bitch. I shot a couple more wolves before leaving. The way things were looking, victory was certain because we had reduced their numbers drastically with the bullets. I was glad we did not add monkshood to our bullets. We would have walked into a death trap. The way things
Gwyneth We drove back to the spot with Michael, Alfred and ten warriors and began to check for Mason. There were a lot of human parts on the floor, and I began to pray to the moon goddess that Mason wasn't one of them. Leah was frantic, and I could understand even though Mason and I were not together, we were still very close friends and other than Marcus, he was the only one we could lean on. Marcus shifted to Ivan and began to search for his friend, but unlike in human form, Ivan could not hide his true feelings. He howled every time he checked. I could feel his sorrow, and it doubled mine. I remembered how they had fought themselves, argued and laughed. They were brothers. I knew we had to find Mason. We came together to fight the war, and I prayed to the goddess that we would leave there together. "Let me take over," I heard Leah say, and I allowed her which sharpened my senses, but she wasn't checking the dead bodies. We headed into the forest that was by the road, and I felt Iv
Gwyneth. I congratulated Ginger, spent some time with her and got up to leave. My father stopped me on my way out. "Gwen please let me explain," he said, and I was so angry that if it were someone else, I would have punched him in the face, but he was my father, and he had just welcomed three babies into the world. I turned towards him and looked at him without saying a word. "I am sorry Gwen. I was desperate," He said to me, and I shook my head. "You were so desperate that putting my life in danger was the only option you chose?" I asked him. "I wasn't thinking straight Gwen. She said she wouldn't harm you and Marcus wouldn't have let her harm you," And I did punch him hard and fast before realising I had done it. "You are the most f*cked up father anyone could ever ask for. I hope you do better for the triplets. You could not find a way to rescue your mate that you chose to put another man's mate in danger. You wanted to trade me for Ginger as you traded me for this Pack. I w
Gwyneth TWO MONTHS AND THREE WEEKS Our wedding day had finally arrived. I sat in front of the mirror heavily pregnant and ready to pop. The past event began to play in my mind, and I was grateful that we survived everything. I sat in front of the mirror proud of all that we had accomplished, and how far I had come. I had made lemonade from the lemons life had given me, and it had paid off. While I sat, Ginger walked in, and I was surprised to see her. I got up and hugged her tightly. She held my face in her palm with tear-filled eyes and told me I looked beautiful. " Where are my sisters? " I asked, and she said they were with the Omegas from our pack. My father walked in, and she excused us. He stood for a while, not knowing how to speak, and I remained silent. Soon a girl came to tell me it was time. I walked past him, then stood at the door and turned towards him. " Don't just stand there daddy, who is going to give me away?" I asked him, and he beamed with joy and came to loc
*Warning* It is super smutty within a reasonable sense. * Gwyneth It had been six months since Marcus and I tied the knot properly, and it had been blissful. Wolves didn't need weddings to bind themselves together, but we did it for ceremonial purposes anyway. The Claiming was actually what brought us together. Welcoming the triplets into the world the same day as our wedding day was an undeniable blessing by the moon goddess. My life had never been better. To finally have people that genuinely loved me was a gift. Mason came around often and helped with a lot of things. He had always been an awesome person from the outset, except for the time he tried to take me away from Marcus, but all was forgiven now. It was finally time to meet the girl Mason had been seeing and he reluctantly invited her for dinner. I had the Omegas prepare the cottage for us to have a private dinner over there. It was going to be an evening away from the triplets, and as much as I loved them, Marcus and I
Gwyneth I kissed him, and he pulled away in shock. " Gwen," he said, and tears began to fall from my eyes. He looked confused. "What is wrong with you?" He asked, and I answered honestly. " I do not know, Mason. I don't know." I said and cried. " I will leave now, and pretend that never happened," he said, and I knew I had lost him. " Mason," I said and held him back. " Don't rush things with her," I pleaded, and he yanked his hand from mine. " Was that why you kissed me? To convince me not to move on?" he asked, and I just looked at him. " Do you know how long I waited for you to accept our bond and return my love, but you said your heart only beats for Marcus, and I had to respect that. You could have had two mates, but you chose to have one," He said, and I shook my head. " Marcus was open to sharing, and you decided to walk away," I told him, and he smiled. " I had to, Gwen. I couldn't be the third wheel, the tag-along guy, waiting for crumbs. I knew you wouldn't give me
Gwen. We were amazed when we arrived at the airport in Gardenia. It was a beautiful view. There were video commercials and posters that had wolves on. It was as it was described; a werewolf country, or so it seemed. The people were friendly at the airport. The arrival had many free souvenirs for visitors. I felt my babies kick, and I knew this was it. The triplets were so excited it was challenging to hold on to them. Marcus and Mason were doing everything they could to stop them from running about the place. Linbec put us in a situation where we had to hide away, demarcated from the rest of the world, but this place was different. It celebrated us. I saw a video of the president welcoming visitors, and I wondered if they created a welcome video every time they had a new president or if this guy was just different. When we stepped out, Marcus wanted to look for two cabs when a government-licensed S.U.V parked in front of us. A friendly-looking guy in a suit exited the S.U.V and ca
Gwen. It did not take long for the suspects to be arraigned in court. Larry took a plea bargain and had a significantly reduced sentence. Benjamin took his own life. I knew it was because he could not deal with the shame of what he did. Honestly, I was glad he was dead. Being a former president, I doubted if his punishment would be much, and it would have been wrong to let him get away with all the heinous crimes he committed. Michael and Ingrid were trying to resolve their differences, but he had difficulty trusting her. I pleaded with him to give her a second chance because we knew she stood no chance against Larry and Benjamin. He was still angry over the fact that she did not open up to him. Michael was content with being friends and kept it that way for now. Hopefully, they would resolve their differences in the future, and he would forgive her. I knew they still loved each other very much. Hopefully, they will see it too and put the past behind them. The wedding was going to t
Mason. The new development was highly welcomed, and I could not wait for it to start. As much as I did not want to trust Barnes and Miles, I knew they were being sincere for now. It was easy to believe because it was a union that would have mutual benefits. I sat in the car and couldn't wait to get home to Gwen and the triplets. Retirement was still in the plan even though the peace seemed as if it would be stable. I could not wait to see Gwen and the triplets and celebrate the joy with them. "Can you believe what is about to happen?" I asked Marcus, and he smiled at me, nodding. "Gwen will be most thrilled about it." He replied, and that was when I summoned the courage to ask what I wanted. "Marcus," I said, and he looked at me eagerly. " I know everything is alright and well, but I want to ask Gwen to marry me," I said, and he frowned at me. "Is it because of the humans?" he asked, and I shook my head. "Not at all, Marcus; it is something that I had pondered about for a whil
Marcus. We got ready for the meeting with Barnes. As much as Gwen wanted to come with us, I did not allow it. She needed to rest. It was tough convincing her to remain, but she eventually agreed. Michael came around to keep her company, so It was easier for us. I had placed Michael as Beta, and everyone had reverted to their old ranks. Scott was the most pleased. I could see his relief. I did not know the work I delegated to him was that much until I saw his relief. Gwen and Michael had a lot of catching up to do, and I was hopeful that she would not even notice our absence. Michael refused to get back together with Ingrid, and I wanted to talk to him about it. I knew he was still mad at her but judging the situation, I believed it was best he forgave for the sake of his peace. Our children would be out of the bunker by the time we returned, and I was eager to see them hold them and play with them. It had been tough being without them. I was glad that everything seemed to be over.
Marcus. I could not believe what had just happened to us. A solution and a problem. The mindless wolves they showed would be the first image humans of Linbec will have about us. There was no sensible way to manage this situation. If we are ever discovered, how will we prove to them that we is nothing like what they had seen on their screens? The human pop culture about us did not help matters either. We were fucked. Gardenia started looking more promising than it was yesterday. "What do we do now?" Mason asked. I could see the frustration in his eyes. "Breathe, and let it all play out," Gwen said, and I looked at her because she was panicking just now. "The government likes to control its citizens. Knowledge is power, and the government would not allow the citizens to have that kind of power. They will find a way to throw it off." She said, and I frowned at her. "Do you know how many werewolf sightings and stories they have buried? This will not be the first, nor will it be the la
Gwen. It was amazing how simple the solution was. We had overthought many things, and that had somehow blown the issue out of proportion. If Barnes was right and could be trusted, it simply meant that everything would be alright. I intended to discuss retirement with Marcus and Mason. I know how much they liked running things, but we needed to focus on our family. I was tired of putting myself in harm's way for the sake of ingrates. We had lives too, and our lives were important. Our children needed us. As much as I would love to remain in charge, I just wanted to run my home and start a floral business. I had enough of the war. I wanted love and peace. After our discussion with Barnes, Marcus decided we should go to our second home, it had been a while, but that place held memories. Memories of my cripple days. It was there that I began to look within and appreciate what I really had. Being Luna did not matter anymore to me in that house. My children were with me, and I had concei
Mason. Gwen slept most of the day, so I opted to carry her to the room while Marcus closed the office. She opened her eyes the moment I lifted her from the couch. "I can walk, Mace," she said with a sleepy smile. Her scent was more like mine. She looked cute, and I smiled at her. "Let me carry you, Gwen," I said, and she wrapped her arms around my neck to oblige me. She rested her head against my chest and tried to drift back into sleep. Our mission must have really drained her, and her body was currently trying to adjust. While I carried Gwen towards the packhouse, I thought of the possibility that we might not fight a war, and I was thankful. If Barnes comes through for us, we can fix the problem, retire in peace and build our family. Marcus was right not to want war. We had too much to lose. Carrying Gwen in my arms made me realise just how much we had to lose. I was sure that she would not back down if it came to war, and I could not bear to lose her. She might be immune to si
Marcus. It was amazing to see how quickly Larry cracked after seeing the press release. It also showed the shallow nature of human friendship. Larry was loyal, and Benjamin wasn't. Larry's love for Mia also was troubling especially knowing how they viewed our kind and what they intended to use us for. It is heartbreaking. "Why should we trust you?" I asked Larry, but his crimson eyes had said it all. He was hurt, broken and felt betrayed. "This was not my plan," He said, "Benjamin had made some bad decisions that had affected our currency and economic stability. Many bad decisions that they would ask for his head if the people knew. Of course, Barnes wasn't in the know, and we kept it that way. Eventually, it was going to be exposed." He said, and I got curious. I wasn't patient with vague explanations. I prefered details, so I interrupted him. "Can you be specific about his mistakes?" I asked him, looking bored, and he nodded. He looked at the television long and hard. I was sure
Mason. I could not believe the extent of the wickedness of Larry and Benjamin. I wondered who else was in on it. To think of us as tools and disposable was cruel and wicked. I thought of Mia and could not imagine the torture the woman had gone through at the hands of that monster. If he did not see us as humans, he must have treated her like an animal. I felt sorry for her, and I could not wait for Timber to get back to us. "Are you really going to inform them at Gardenia?" Gwen asked Marcus, and he looked as if he was thinking about it. "I do not know, really," he said, and I frowned at him. "Are you contemplating it?" I asked him, and he looked at me a bit confused. "I have never been out of Linbec before, and neither have you. How the hell are we supposed to inform them? Who do we tell? Even if Timber can help us get the word across, we really do not know who these people are and what they are capable of. Even though Linbec's government is wrong for trying to take over another
