The moment Gwendolyn touched the gourd, snatches of images flashed through her mind.

She saw the wine merchant in a dark room, surrounded with other wine gourds. Someone else was in the room, but she couldn't see him.

The merchant accepted a sachet from the other stranger and shook hands with him. The sachet contained a greyish-white powder.

In a split second, the scene changed. This time she saw the merchant inside his shed, holding a particular wine gourd with a strange sign shaped like an arrow head on the body.

The images were so quick, almost impossible for her to understand. She snapped back to the present and snatched her hand away from the gourd.

The merchant looked at her, his smile faltering. "Is something wrong, Miss Bowen?"

Gwendolyn didn't respond. She was still reeling from what she just saw. She took a step back, and Ryder immediately placed himself in front of her.

"Are you okay?" He murmured.

She shut her eyes for a moment and shook her head. Then she s

  • Barbarian: Mated To The Savage Alpha   Chapter 97: We have all night

    One week flew by rapidly, until it was the day of Gwendolyn's coronation. That morning, she woke up to Kieran shaking her awake. She sat up abruptly, her chest heaving with heavy breaths. Kieran pulled her into his arms instantly. "Are you okay, my love? You were crying in your sleep."She touched her eyes, feeling the trail of tears on her cheek. Her heart was pounding so fast within her. "I had a nightmare." She whispered. Kieran pulled back and cupped her face. "Tell me about it."In a quiet voice, she told him about the enormous wolf she saw. From her description, Kieran knew what kind of wolf it was. "Dire Wolves." He murmured. "They were the first creatures in the realm. When I had flashbacks of the past at the Moon Pool, I saw the leader, Lucien.""Why would one appear to me?" Gwendolyn asked softly. "I don't know. Most dreams don't have meanings. Don't let it bother you.""But Kieran, it felt so real. It chased after me in the forest. I have a feeling something bad will

  • Barbarian: Mated To The Savage Alpha   Chapter 95: A pill I can't swallow

    Gwendolyn followed behind Kieran as he stepped out of the pack house. Ryder and Odin had just arrived, looking completely weary. When Ryder spotted her, the look in his eyes softened, like he was happy to finally see her. But it disappeared the moment he turned to Kieran. Kieran must have noticed it too because he instantly became possessive. He gently pulled her against him, fingers curling tight around her waist. His expression was neutral, but his eyes held a silent warning. "What happened?" He asked. Ryder cleared his throat. "Kade is dead.""You told me this through the mind link. How did he die?""Aconite, Alpha." Odin answered. "When we stopped to get some rest, he tried to escape. We chased after him, but before we could catch him, he had already emptied the vial of aconite on him.""How did he get a vial of aconite?""We think it was with him. Hidden." Ryder answered. "Before he died, he said Ragnar already killed his mate and his daughter. He felt the broken mate bond.

  • Barbarian: Mated To The Savage Alpha   Chapter 94: I want to join your pack

    Julian buried Lilithia's body deep inside the woods, where he was sure no one would ever find it. He dug a shallow grave, kicked her body inside along with her severed head, and covered it up. Then he turned and walked away without a backward glance. There was no remorse in his eyes. He didn't regret killing her, even though she was his mate, even when he felt an excruciating pain in his heart, a pain that meant the bond between them had been severed. Apart from the pull of the mate bond, he felt nothing for her. She only helped him escape for her own selfish gain. And she had to die, because he didn't want her. There was only one woman meant for him, one woman who would always hold his heart. Gwendolyn. He had fallen too deep in love with her, and his love had slowly turned into obsession. She was the one he wanted, the only woman he craved. They would have been together if Kieran hadn't chosen to show himself in their pack that fateful morning. Now he lost her. But he didn't

  • Barbarian: Mated To The Savage Alpha   Chapter 93: Ryder and Odin are back

    "The child wasn't yours. She lied to you." Medea shoved Gwendolyn away the moment she heard those words. She backed away, cradling her stomach like she was pregnant. "What are you talking about, you mutt?" She snarled. The words didn't leave her mouth completely before Gwendolyn slapped her."Say that word again. I dare you!"Medea fell back on the couch, her eyes wide with shock. Her cheek stung with the slap, and so did ego. "You fucking bitch!" She screamed and lunged at Gwendolyn, claws outstretched and ready to attack.Before she could land a blow, Kieran's form blurred. He stepped in front of Medea, stopping her advance. [Dom, get in here!] He yelled through the mind link as he tried to keep Medea away from attacking Gwendolyn. "LET ME GO!" Medea screamed. Her face was a mask of rage, her cheeks reddened. Dom burst into the living room and grabbed her, pulling her hands behind her back. He forced her to her knees and kept her in place while she kept struggling to free her

  • Barbarian: Mated To The Savage Alpha   Chapter 92: Undo what was done

    Gwendolyn raised her head in surprise. She hadn't expected him to say that. "Kieran, she bears your mark. That makes her your mate, even though she isn't your fated mate. How will you change that?"Kieran sat up and took her hands. "Let me explain it to you, my love. When Medea was chosen, a ritual was performed.""What ritual?""A bonding ritual, to keep her bound to me." Kieran explained. "Something similar to the mate bond, but not as strong. I didn't want her. I was ready to wait till eternity to find you. But the laws of the Triad stated that I needed an heir, and Medea was a Wilding from a strong bloodline. So she was chosen."He brought her hands to his lips and kissed it. "I mated with her and marked her, and a week later, she conceived. But Medea went wild. She wanted to be crowned my Luna so badly." "Weren't you worried you would find your mate someday?""I wasn't planning on staying with Medea forever. The bond was temporary. She only had to give me an heir. But she wante

    Cae hadn't been expecting that. Her jaw dropped open in shock. "Gwendolyn, I need you to think about what you just said." She began, but Gwendolyn looked at her sharply. "Don't, Cae!" She said. "Don't even try to convince me otherwise. Kieran didn't just betray me. You did too. You knew about Medea, didn't you?""Gwendolyn...""Didn't you?" She yelled. "You knew he had a chosen mate. You knew he marked her.""She left the pack years ago.""I don't care if she did!" Gwendolyn shot to her feet in anger. Her voice was shrill and unsteady. "I had a right to know. You knew about this other woman and you kept it a secret. What am I to you? Some sort of joke?""Gwendolyn you don't understand." Cae rose to her feet too. Her voice shook as she spoke. "I am bound to Alpha Kieran by an oath. An oath to be loyal. It wasn't in my place to tell you about her. I would have been betraying Kieran if I'd told you. He was just trying to protect you." Gwendolyn scoffed. "Protect me? How is this protec
