Gwy's POVSaying I'm in bewilderment is an understatement.I'm beyond astonished after hearing Devon say those sinister words. Yes, I hereby declare it sinister. What else can I describe this monstrance?! I can't even accept what I saw back in the spirit world. And hearing him say that I'm his ‘perfect’ chosen mate doesn't sit well with me. Not that I don't like it, but that only means I'm never gonna get out of here anytime soon!Back here in my room, I never intend to sleep again. It's still 3 in the morning. I tried to plot out my escape with Grace trying to help me out with the possibilities."Try to go out for now, Gwy. Maybe we can see something here. Like an opening or something. You know... every spell has a crack in a dome. There's no perfect spell in this world. Everything has a downside," she suggested enthusiastically."Okay. Let me check if the coast is clear..." I slowly headed out of my room. I looked at the guards and saw them getting busy talking to each other.I clev
Gwy's POV "Find her."I arched my brow at him. "W-what?""I said, find her!" The man snapped at me. Impatience grew fond of his existence. His perfect deep-set hazel eyes darted in my direction. He was on the verge of killing someone through his stare.Unfortunately, that someone was me.I shuddered. Though he was just a few inches away from where I was incarcerated, I could feel that 80% of my entire shaking was because of his uncalled apparition.Heck, I didn't even know if I should just stare at his perfect chiseled jawline, a few stubbles around his thin but kissable lips, and his well-carved sexy back plus his perfect ass, or just settle with pleading for my life!I moaned inside my head.Damn it, I couldn't concentrate on my scared mode. This perpetrator was too gorgeous to even be hated."I-I don't know what you're talking about—" I lied, shaking my head."Do I need to rip you apart or will you do as I say?!" he cut me off, threatening me.I jumped in terror. "I-I will do it!
Gwy's POVThe door has been shut in our faces.After that revelation that I gave away, Alpha Devon's minions started to tie my hands behind my back and pushed me inhumanely back to Ephy and Cloud.I sighed and closed my eyes.Well, it's better this way than say what's really at stake."What should we do now, priestess? I don't think he's going to give up so easily," Cloud asked, still bizarre clung into his soul."Priestess! How about you just lie to him that he has a mate? That way he will stop this!" Ephy suggested.I rolled my eyes at her. "That's a suicide, Ephy. No, thanks!""Then, what should we do now? He really is pissed off," she added worryingly."Just shut your mouths. I'll handle this. The more you close your mouth, the lesser trouble. Got it?" I told them."Then what about you? What about the temple?" Cloud asked. "We've been operating here for a decade now. We can't just give up on this!""Do you think I will let him destroy my temple?" I scoffed. "Don't underestimate th
Gwy's POV"This is a mistake. You're just confused," I abruptly cut Alpha Devon off as soon as his words sink inside my head.Me? Becoming his Luna? No fucking way!I am a Solus Lupus, for goddess' sake! Why would I be his Luna? That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my entire life.My trail of thoughts began to wash away as soon as a strong arm snugged me. I gasped. I felt y face hit by something hard.This time, his now-familiar scent engulfed my whole being. I faintly moaned and slowly looked up.His face was too close to mine. His breath freely fanned my face but my eyes can't get off of him. The way his blue eyes glued to mine, it felt like a home run. Peaceful. Serene. Triumphant.I've never been like this before. Not even in front of Alpha Qirak. And now... this strange wolf suddenly disrupted my peace."I don't care if you're a fucking lone wolf. Whether you like it or not, you will become my Luna. And you can't stop me," Alpha Devon whispered to me."W-what?""
Gwy's POVI pompously rested my head on my knuckles while my elbow rested on the soft surface of the headrest of the back seat as I look up at the stiff but cold presence of the Great Alpha Devon Guillermo.I was about half an hour like this with him after he forcefully did that stunt on my temple's gazebo.At last, I saw a new reaction on his face.Well... not the kind of expression I was expecting. He was still wearing that bitch-sitting face. The only difference is his arching dark and thick brow, not looking at me."Are you done inspecting me, Miss Priestess?" he suddenly asked. "Sorry to disappoint you, but looking at me like that won't make me melt easily." Amusement, then came into his eyes. But that poker face... still hits differently. Hmm... Sexy."Don't talk..." I interrupted him, still not taking my eyes off him.His brow arched again. I saw his pupils move in my direction. I'm guessing he's caught off-guard with what I said.Then I sighed faintly and explained, "It's bett
Gwy's POV"Ouch! Hey, you watch it!" I growled at Mr. Mateless' bodyguard who threw me effortlessly to the ground. "You should have told me to walk! Duh!" I rolled my eyes.The next thing I knew, Grace was whimpering after hearing a loud growl from the bodyguard. I didn't bother to fight back. It's no use anyway. They put strong shackles on my wrists behind me, sapping my energy.I looked around and saw the countryside set up before my eyes. It's a completely different lifestyle back in New Orleans though my hometown is no better than New York itself. I'm just surprised that this pack was able to preserve a greenery forest-like place they call Black Dew Pack.I saw gorgeous people around. They wore New Yorker-style clothes. Their attraction spilled all over the place and I felt like a rotten human begging for plastic surgery right now.A bubbly Latina wearing tight black leather pants catwalked in our direction. Her jaw moved as she chewed gum. Her curly black hair looked so gorgeous
Gwy's POVDevon Guillermo has a way of churning my stomach 360 degrees. His blazing blue eyes darted mine while trying to pin me on the chair.What's going on with my body? Why am I reacting so much to his words? They're just words!Wake up, Gwyneth! It's not time to find this mateless Alpha sexy and hot! Ugh!Devon's grin became wider than before. The tip of his nose touched the side of my lips. That alone sent me chills. Damn this man!"I didn't know you smell this nice..." he whispered as he went on sniffing until he reached my neck. "You smell so nice, priestess...""W-wait... Devon, I–""Are you sure we're not mates?""Shamans do really smell nice, Devon. I bathe with honey every day of my life! This is something I can l-literally explain!" I can't believe I'm shaking because of him!"Hmm... you do smell like honey..." As soon as he said that, he immediately pushed me so hard that my chair moved almost touching the window.Dang! That was approximately 7 meters away from the long
Gwy's POVI thought I knew better than anyone else since I was born a shaman. But that is a hard false now.I always know about the future at some point. I always know about good directions. But now, it felt like I was totally lost.Who would have thought that I, a generic shaman whose fate is to be alone forever, be entangled with an arrogant Alpha? And now, this flirty Alpha of Fountain Pack is here to rescue me. I must be really cursed."A-Alpha Qirak?!""Don't worry, my dear Gwyneth. I will make sure to take you back," Alpha Qirak assured me."Who the hell are you? Why did you trespass on my pack?!" Suddenly, Alpha Devon appeared with his cold stare."I am Alpha Qirak of the Fountain Pack. I am here to take back Gwyneth Hathaway," Qirak confidently answered."I refuse! You will not take her back. She's mine!""Alpha Devon, you know that we have a courtesy, right? You cannot take her unless we approve!""Nonsense! That woman is my mate!"Alpha Qirak suddenly laughed. He was touchin

Gwy's POVI gasped for air as I woke up from that dreadful slumber. It took me a while before I could breathe properly. Beads of sweat were all over my temples. When I realized that no one is around, I sighed in relief.At least it's just a dream. It was my first time to be feeling like that in a dream.Scared. Frantically scared to death.I've never dreamt of someone violating me before. I'm a lucid dreamer so I know how dreams work. But this one was different of all the dreams I encountered. It was something ominous and dark. It feels like it has been with me since then that it was awaken from a deep slumber. It was a weird feeling. I still feel the goosebumps coming up behind me.I looked around and noticed that Devon was not around. He must've gone out since I passed out.It was 2 in the morning but I can't go to sleep anymore. I'm afraid that the dream would come again when I close my eyes. I feel so alone.I hugged myself, frantically shaking.Ever since Devon tried to touch me
Gwy's POVWe were silent the whole time when we returned to the Packhouse. I tried my best not to look at him or show interest at that point.I'm still seething in anger for how much Devon made me look stupid. I also blocked Grace for the meantime. I can't help but take grudge on her. How could she leave me there when I was asking her to help me?I was eager to move away from Devon's excessive teasing. But I failed miserably. I hated myself for that.When we finally arrived, I was about to get out of thr car but the door won't push open. I tried several times but to no avail. That's when I turned to him.Devon was looking out the window, silent and unmoving. He locked the car on purpose. He was waiting for a right moment, I could guess. That sight only gave me more annoyance than whatnot.I sighed in defeat and was the first one to open my mouth to speak. "Open the door. I'll wash up and rest...""Not yet, priestess.""Stop calling me priestess. You've already ruined me anyway. Now, p
Gwy's POVDevon immediately got out of the car in no time while I was trying to calm myself. What was that? Was that it?!"Get out.""Huh?""I said get out of the car or I'll drag you out really bad," he repeated in a warning tone.I just got out of the car, grimacing the whole time. When I did, he abruptly left me.I scoffed. This guy is so impossible!I had no choice but to follow him. I stomped my feet until I reached the VIP elevator.I struggled into making a conversation the whole time. What should I even say to him? He completely ignores me the whole time! He's punishing me for all the times I tried to escape. It's obvious.Inside his office, I would look at him while he's doing his work smoothly. I would seldom see him scolding werewolves. Sometimes seeing him slapping idiots for not doing a security check-up on each borderline in New York.I don't even care about his anger issues anymore. I fell so bored the whole time. I became frustrated after finding out that I can't chann
Gwy's POVI whimpered a lot the whole time. Not because I feel so violated by the fact that Devon is kissing me, but because my body wanted it so badly.My body is betraying me. It's starting to abandon my beliefs and my convictions as an Eastern Shaman.Who am I kidding? No matter how much I convict myself with the fact that I'm a Solus Lupus, I'm no better than anyone else in this world. I'm a female werewolf. It's impossible not to fall for someone like Devon.As I tried to know him better with the help of other pack members in Black Dew, I came to realize how vulnerable the female population could be to his charm. And I'm one of the population who would throw myself begging for his touch.I moaned as his kisses deepened. His touch started to travel down to my navel. And just as I was anticipating his next move, he suddenly broke off and stood up. His face gloomed in sweat and disdainfulness."Get out," he coldly said."W-what?""I'm done with you. Aren't you thankful?" He smirked.
Gwy's POVAfter a long day, I headed back on my way to my room.I shouldn't be curious about Devon's family, especially his father, Diether Guillermo, but the way he acted earlier seemed suspicious. He seemed too nice. Too good to be true kinda stuff. But what should I do? I have to figure out something to get the hell out of here. I can't keep on playing Devon's game. I have to do something. Or else I won't be able to find my way back to my temple.My mind was drifting away with these thoughts and suddenly a pair of shoes was in front of me."What are you doing out here in the middle of the night?" Devon asked. His rugged manly physique greeted me with awe. I blinked twice. "Where's Deena?""D-Devon? What are you doing here? I thought you'd spend the night at your office," I asked, a bit fazed.He looked at me with a smug on his face and put his hands on his side pockets. "Answer me first.""W-well... I didn't wanna waste my time inside my room so I took time getting to know Black De
Gwy's POVAfter that day, Alpha Devon stopped bothering me for a while. I don't know what to feel, but my spirit is low today.Deena appeared before me with her smiley face. "Miss Hathaway! It's time to take a tour of the whole pack. Alpha Devon ordered me to accompany you. He said that you have to learn for you to formally take over the Luna position," she informed me proactively."Where is he?""Alpha is now working in his office. He's busy during weekdays and sometimes he doesn't go home.""H-he doesn't go home? Then, what about me?" I pointed at myself. Is he going to abandon me here all by myself? Ha! I can't believe him!"Don't worry, Miss Hathaway, Alpha made sure you will be safe with me while he's gone.""I'm not so sure of that Deena. You saw the way that Latina bitch talked to me the other day? She'll do that again now that Devon is not around!" It's not that I'm afraid of that Latina bitch. It's just that she might give me that disgusted stare and all the get-the-hell-out-
Gwy's POVI had no choice but to carry Devon to the tiled floor.He was still trembling in so much pain. I abruptly wiped his whole body. As the drips of water from his body disappeared, so as the flames that surrounded him. But that didn't even mend his suffering. He was still gnashing his teeth in terror.I sobbed while drying him up. "This is all my fault! Devon... I'm so sorry!""W-what did you do to me?" he asked, still in pain."It's my fault! I will let you punish me after this. But please let me help you...""G-Gwy..." He held my shoulder while trembling. "Damn you!""I'll help you, I promise! But we need to go to your room now.""What will you do? Are you going to kill me?"I shook my head. "No! I won't. Please, if I don't put you in your room, everyone will see you in this state!""H-how can I trust you?" Devon grunted in pain as the invisible flame engulfed his whole body."I will take it away. I know a way.""T-tell me... Fucking tell me!"I closed my eyes and quickly gave
Gwy's POVFlashes of scenes rapidly entered my consciousness. It came from a shallow ball of light that I always see as a shaman.These images don't mean a thing to me. They always flash in my mind whenever I am in a deep slumber. But now... everything seems to be connected. I just don't know how it does, but in my recent death moment, I knew this thing would eventually come to me again.Death.I gasped for air. The sound of swarming began to hurdle in my ears. But I cannot move. My head is turning to the dim sky."G-Grace? Grace, where are you?" I suddenly felt alone. My wolf is nowhere to be found. My tears trickle down my cheeks as I shiver.That was when I realized I was in the middle of the sea. The sea of blood."W-what's happening? What's this? Help! Help!" I cried but to no avail. No one was here.Suddenly, I felt many hands touching my arms. Now, they found their way to my chin and neck. I tried to swim away but I couldn't. These hands were too strong.What's happening?"Let
