CHAPTER 16: CHOICE
Physically, Gavin is healing well. Although in reality, he is healing slower than he should, if he were able to shift into his wolf form, it would have been faster as their wolf has that ability to heal faster, but since he can’t, he is taking longer. But that’s fine. It has been like that his whole life anyway. So, yes. Gavin is healing well. Physically. But emotionally? He’s afraid that is not the case. The lingering pain of betrayal is carved deep within him. While it is true that he had only known the alpha for a short time, and spent time with her a few times too, while it is also true that he was uncomfortable with her presence, he still hoped that they were nurturing something aching to a friendship. So, to have something be destroyed before it even started, is a feeling of pain like no other for Gavin. He had been through so many things in his short life, he had survived so many things anyone won’t even be able to imagine, but betrayal is not somethin

“What do you mean she’s missing?” Maya asked, looking at Ainar confusedly. “She’s gone. She wasn’t on the dungeon when Nikolas went to give her food,” Ainar answered. He’s holding Gavin’s hands tightly but still somehow gentle.“We think she escaped.” “That’s bad,” Maya murmured.“What will happen now?” “I came here to get Jericho. We need more hunters to look for her. Surely, she hasn’t gone that far,” Ainar turned to look at Gavin.“She might still be around here. It’s dangerous.” “You have to hurry then. You need to catch her immediately.” A ghost of sadness crossed Maya’s feature. Gavin empathizes with her. The alpha has been her friend for so long too. And to talk about your friend as such despite knowing what they did, is still painful. The expression was quickly gone though. “We really should,” Ainar replied. They all stood up. Maya quickly stacked their empty bowls of food and made a quick run to dispose them in cooking house. When she returned, Ainar turned to her. “May
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 18: REST
Gavin sighed; eyes shut as he felt the cold wind touch his skin. It’s been two days since the news of Celestine escaping broke out in the pack, that means it has also been two days since they started searching but they still haven’t found her. Gavin is worried, both for the safety of the pack, his own and hers. He hopes she’s not somewhere dangerous. On the other hand, the hunters are tirelessly searching day and night. Different groups leave the pack in turns to search but they all always come back with nothing.Gavin stepped inside the cooking house, sidestepping the other pack members cooking and walking directly to Nana’s station. The elder omega looked up from what she’s doing to cast him a glance.“Gavin,” she called as she continued to slice ingredients.“What brought you here?”“Nothing, Nana. Just wanted some company,” he replied, watching he
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 19: GAVIN'S GIFT
Gavin’s lips spread into a pretty smile when he finally spotted the alpha walking to his way. He waves his hand at him, then slowly brought it down to his side when he realized how silly the action looked. Please. They just saw each other not too long ago.“You’re excited?” the alpha asked once he was near enough. He looked cleaner now. Gavin automatically stepped closer to him. Ainar’s arm automatically curled around his waist too, pulling him closer.“I am,” Gavin whispered in answer. The alpha hummed, a deep content rumble vibrating from his chest.They started walking like that. They have been walking for a while when Gavin saw the small basket the alpha is holding. He made a questioning sound in his throat.“Hmm?” Ainar asked back.“What is that basket for?” Gavin curiously asked, eyes set on it. The alpha car
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 20: GIDDY
Gavin gasped as he breached the surface of the river. He dunked his head underwater to rinse his hair, and he may have stayed under for longer than he should. And the reason for that is because he’s still feeling so giddy and had so many pent-up energies that the solution he thought of was basically almost drown himself. Did it work? Well…he wants to say yes, but the wide smile still plastered on his lips beg to differ.He sighed at himself. He’s hopeless.He decided to get out of the water, now feeling more refreshed. He hoped the cold water of the river would help him with his dilemma but it seems it had only made him remember what happened again. He picked up his towel and carefully dried his body with it before wearing a fresh pair of tunic and breeches. He moved to dry his hair using the same towel, closing his eyes in the process and—it was a bad move. In doing so, behind his closed lids, Ainar’s fa
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 21: SCENT ME
Gavin quickly entered his shack, disposing the sack of his belongings carefully on the table beside his mattress before quickly going out to the alpha. Ainar offered his hand, and Gavin gladly took it, intertwining their hands. His cheeks flushed again, but it was worth the satisfied smile that grazed the alpha’s lips.They started walking, getting out of the omegean living space. They pass by some pack members who are probably heading to the cooking house for the midday meal. It’s almost funny how their gazes first land on Ainar, they give the alpha a small bow in greeting and then their gazes land on him next, and they give him a small bow in greeting too, paired with an unsure smile. Everyone they met along the way did this, and it’s almost amusing now to Gavin. He is still aware of their stares every time he goes out, even when he’s with Maya. But he finds himself slowly getting used to their stares, but he still feels uncomfortable e
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 22: EARLY
Gavin can feel Maya’s teasing look from across the table burning at his head but he pointedly ignores it, for the sake of his sanity. He saw how her eyes widened at the sight of his neck when they arrived earlier. Their tunic, despite being thick enough to go with the climate of the North, doesn’t really have a high neckline so his neck is fully exposed to everyone’s eyes. The amount of pack members that turned to look at his neck and then back to Ainar was embarrassing. And the alpha that looks almost too smug and proud of his work beside him isn’t helping either. He gently pushed the empty bowl away from him when he was done eating. Ainar, who finished way before him, turned to him as he gathered their empty bowls. “You’re done?” the alpha asked. Gavin nodded in answer. The alpha then gave him a flask of water which he gratefully accepted and carefully drank from. He blushed when the alpha drank on it right after him when he gave it ba
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 23: APOLOGY
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was unbelievably good that Gavin decided to take on Maya’s offer to join the archery lessons with the pups. He told the beta about it at the cooking house. He went early to have a chat with Nana, and maybe convince her let him help too but he obviously failed again, and Maya happened to be there too.“Really?” she asked, momentarily dropping the hares she was skinning to face him. Gavin hummed in answer, his eyes never straying from the vegetable he was holding. It’s some kind of a plant that only grows in the pack territory and he is tasked to pluck the leaves.“I do not really have anything to do around here. So, I figured joining you would be good,” he answered.“That’s great,” she said, picking up the hare to continue her task. Gavin glanced at her, and then down to her bloodied hands. He wrinkled his nose
Winter Flower: Bloom for the Alpha CHAPTER 24: NOT A PACK
By the time they finished the lesson, and having fun, the sun is halfway down the sky. They arranged the clutter of knives on the table back to the wooden box and collected the bows and arrows from the pups. They each said their goodbyes to them, adorably waving their little hands in the air before tottering their way out of the area. Maya sighed as she stacked the arrows, wrapping a band around it to keep it together. Gavin offered to carry some of the quivers and Maya gratefully accepted his help. They carry everything and left the area too. “Tired?” Jannah asked when Gavin passed the quivers he’s holding to his left hand to stretch his right arm. “A little,” he answered with a groan when a pleasant crack sounded from his shoulder.“I enjoyed it though.” “You did. You are surprisingly good at knives.” “I resent the surprisingly part,” he joked to which she laughed
