One thing Gwen despised the most was being cornered, especially by the likes of Oswald. The smirk on the bastard's face made Gwen's blood boil in wrath.He reached out but Gwen moved her face away and he touched her hair instead. "You look beautiful, much better than the last time I saw you 3 months ago. Believe me, I've been dying for this day when I get to see you again and inhale your scent. You smell so good," He leaned his face closer, and finally, Gwen lost it and shoved hardly on his chest and her hand bounced toward his face but he caught it before she struck his cheek."You are such a bastard. It's disgusting. What will Odessa think if she saw this," She grimaced, attempting to pull her hand from his grip that only tightened with her struggles."Odessa might be my mate and she's a good fuck but it's you that I want. I want a taste of what Seth owns but refuses to claim," He pulled her hand close to his face and kissed the back of her palm. Gwen twitched in nausea and forceful
"Are you okay?" Onyx inquired as soon as Gwen sauntered into her room.Gwen shook her head, moving toward Onyx who was settling on her bed, flipping through pages of a book. Gwen crouched on the mattress.Onyx glowered at the she-wolf's pessimistic mood. "What's going on?""A lot is going on, Onyx. First I had an encounter with Oswald, then Odessa who impeached me for stealing her mate, we had a fight and then I met Seth and he said he won't claim me until I've sorted out my feelings," Gwen responded, keeping her head downcast.Onyx's frown deepened. "Sort out your feelings, did something happen?"Gwen bobbed. She opened her mouth to speak but shut it, feeling a little ashamed, she was thinking about another man when her mate was around. She felt like she was cheating. "I-I met this guy, Logan. He's extremely handsome and caring toward me since I got here an-d-" she paused, not knowing how to continue the word."You nurtured feelings for him?" Onyx completed and Gwen nodded."I think
Syrin has been poisoned!His face was white as snow, and his lips were purple, slowly losing their color. Gwen deliberately took hold of his hand, twitching at how frigid it was. "I'm fine," Syrin took a sharp intake of breath, letting out a dry cough and a clod of blood, spitting it out on the floor."You are not fine," Gwen whispered, looking over at her parents who mirrored the same expression of worry. "What are we going to do?""May I see, I know a few things about poisons" Luna Yaletha stepped forward, slowly taking hold of Syrin's hand, gawking at the black vein on his wrist that stretched up to his arm. She stared at it closely, instantly recognizing the dark magic as she trailed her finger on the black vein. "This is done by a witch," She disclosed and everyone gasped. "A powerful one that knows the essence of dark magic,""How can you be so sure?" Alpha Lannis grilled unsurely. They knew nothing about witches and he didn't know how a witch was able to poison his son. It took
In outrage, she hurled the tonic bottle on the table to the floor. She nattily whirled her gaze over to Oswald who was eating from a bowl of soup, without care as his mother threw a fit."Syrin is still alive?" The words passed her lips and they were obnoxious, she almost bit off her tongue."Hmmm," Oswald retorted without looking up at his mother, savoring his soup and humming at how delicious it tasted. "This is really good, Mother. I might come back soon to have some," He beamed, fueling the enthusiasm in her chest as she stormed over to him and snatched his bowl of soup, and crashed it on the floor. Oswald felt his heart plunge and he looked up at his mother with a shrieking pout. "Mother!"Yarkona scowled. "We have bigger problems than your stupid soup!"The pout on Oswald's face remained and he struck the spoon into his mouth and sucked on it and crossed his arms over his chest and threw his face away childishly."Like seriously Oswald!?" She clamored.Oswald sighed and removed
Syrin survived!The more he thought about it, the more lividity billowed in his being and he felt like exploding as his hand grasped the hand of his throne tightly till he felt it nearly crack at his mighty grip. He knew he shouldn't have trusted that bitch. She failed him once and she had failed him again but this time, the blow hit hard, his last tiniest bit of patience finally running out as he gawked at the witch standing at the front of his alter. "Do you have a death wish?" The question passed his lips, holding everything in him wishing to gallop off his throne and rip her to shreds. "How dare you show yourself to me?""Because I came with a new plan," Yarkona asserted and in a flash, Alpha Vaughan was before her, his fingers wrapped around her neck and her back being slammed on the wall."You do have a death wish, I can make it come true," The Alpha's eyes were as malignant as his words. They pierced through her skull while his grip pulled taut around her neck, cutting off her
(A Year & Few Months Later)"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GUINEVERE!!!"Gwen shrieked as a weight fell on top of her. Her eyes snap open and her mind regained consciousness instantly and she nudged Phoebe off her to the other side of the bed and threw the covers over her head but it was soon yanked off and Gwen grunted in displeasure, wanting more of her beauty sleep."Phoebe, go away. I need sleep!" She grumbled while the other she-wolf clambered on top of her."You are twenty today, why are you still in bed? It's time to celebrate!" Phoebe clamored, toying with Gwen's red hair till she was once again shoved off."We are not celebrating, Phoebe, and go away. My beauty sleep is vital. Go disturb Roxanne, it's her birthday too,"Roxanne was Syrin's mate, they met a few months ago and had kicked off. Though she and Gwen were not the same age, their birthdays fell on the same date."Roxanne has her mate, you don't have anymore except me," "I have a mate, Phoebe," Phoebe rolled her eyes. "One you ha
The journey to Black Fur Pack was one Gwen looked forward to. It had been more than a year since she saw those she left behind and excitement spurted at the thought of seeing them again.They reached Black Fur Pack at sunset. Gwen leaped in enthusiasm and ambled into the massive pack house, instantly spotting Onyx among others and darted straight into her arms, nearly sending both of them flying into the couch behind them."Onyx!" Gwen clamored.Onyx snickered, flicking her forehead. "Ain't you twenty now, Soldier. Happy birthday,""Thank you, I missed you so much," When the excitement died, Gwen finally acknowledged the others in the luxurious living room. Luna Yaletha beamed at her. "We heard it's your birthday today. We prepared a little party for you since you couldn't celebrate back in your pack,""That's not necessary but thank you, Luna Yaletha," Gwen returned the smile with a little duck of her head."Call me aunt, you would have become part of our family if you and Oswald h
"Seth," She gulped after the name departed her lips.Seth stood there, wearing only tight black jeans and leaving his upper body bare for eyes to feed and letting it drip with sweat. Gwen noticed his hair had gotten longer, the tips were brushing on his shoulders, and strands of hair on his forehead, and she could now finally make out the tattoos and know where they ended or were located. She noticed his toned stomach, and his abs that made her hands itchy to gild her palm down and feel them as she pleased, but she held back her urge and stayed gazing into his eyes that somehow reflected the night over her head.And finally, she noticed his scent. It hit her hard and made her insides pool with warmth and desire. His arousal was so thick and Gwen also felt herself leaking. She nearly clenched her legs. "Are you really going through a rut?" she tested the words and realized how absurd they were. Seth wasn't an Alpha, how could he be going through a rut?Seth took a quick breath and Gwe
