GWENWho said it was easy to let go? They were all damn liars! Bloody blasted liars who stooped so low to write for fame even though at the detriment of the truth.It was a mere fallacy. True love is destructive as it is healing. I discovered that the hard way. I thought I was going to forget. In one month. Two months. Or possibly three months. Damn it, I knew I won't forget, but somewhere in my heart, I hoped to be able to endure it. That my love for Ashton would fade away and slowly over time it would become just a figment of my past. Just like Julian. Yet, every day when I woke up, it was like yesterday. Nothing new. Instead, I grew lonelier and bitter. I just wanted to perish, however, even death seemed too far off to come to me. "Gwen, darling." A subtle knock sounded at the door followed by a soft shove. It was my mom. From the window I have been standing staring outside like I do every day, I looked in the direction of the brown oak, and back, quickly reaching up to dab
ASHTON"Good boy, Striker," I scratched my giant stallion by the flank as I made to leave his side, and with a single nod, matched in their direction of the backyard door to sneak back into the house. Today was the blasted ball organized by my mother and my nostrils were already overwhelmed with the disgusting smell of the different creatures that were flooding in from their disgusting Kingdoms. Yes, you heard me correctly. All thanks to my mother, she like my mate, ended up organizing another ball all in the name of peace. That was after convincing me to quench my taste for the blood of the sickening vampires and of course, agree to this if only I desire to see my wife again. Have I mentioned about the Tyler path?All these I had to approve of just to get Gwendolyn's attention. What could I do?I accepted, but hell knows none of them would see me at the damned ball! And by the goddess, I hope this works, if not, the bloody vampires would get twice the rage I was going to use to co
GWENEpilogue (A year later.)"Oh, come on, Henry!" I screamed at the top of my lungs at my son, barreling down the staircase like a hellcat after him as he giggled innocently, unaware of the distress he was causing me."My Queen, let me get him." Kora was behind me, racing after us."Don't worry, Kora, I can do this."Just at the last staircase as I was almost rounding on him, out of nowhere, he was swept up from the ground. Increasing his baby chuckles. I think he was having fun out of my misery."I guess you have been naughty again," Tyler crooned to him. The young man unaware of the punishment waiting for him kept giggling mindlessly. I stopped to touch my forehead and let out a frustrated breath. I thought my husband was stubborn, but his child is ten times more. Tyler gave me a pitiful glance. "It's their time.""I guess I wasn't well prepared for this like I thought." I twisted to nod at Kora who in turn left immediately. Then I made my way down. "How's Abby and Caleb?""As fine
Thank you for choosing my book. I hope you find it captivating enough and do well to drop your kind words of support. Thank you. Xoxo 🌼🌼It's prom, the most anticipated day in the werewolf kingdom. Today, all the werewolves of mating age are mandated to assemble at the pack house at 10 pm, and when it is midnight we are going to shift to our wolves after which we will scent out our mates and together, head out to the school for prom. To most people, meeting their wolves made it special for them, but to me, it is not just about meeting my other half, it is even more important because I finally get to meet my mate."Gwendolyn!" I jerked up from the bed I was lying on reading and threw my book to the side as I rushed to wear my slippers. "Yes, mother!" I hurriedly left the room to the door. "What are you doing? it's almost time," She bickered, looking edgy as she gestured with her hands from the foot of the stairs."I just finished bathing, mother. I was about to dress up," I lied t
I scoured through the entire pack ground in search of the distinctive giant grey wolf among the crowd. But I didn't see him. Where did Julian go? I knew I saw him on the podium with his parents and then in the snap of my eyes, he disappeared. There is no way he went inside.Retreating back to where my parents were standing, I didn't see them either. By now, my panic was climbing, bitterness taking a large position in my chest. I stood still, skimming my eyes about as some of my peer groups came out from changing into their prom wear and walked to their cars with their mates. I didn't have any. No wolf. No mate. I was the person that anticipated this day more, but now, I was the one without any. And my best friend is nowhere to be found. Nor my family. "Hey, freak!" I jumped and turned about, my eyes nearly falling out of their sockets when they fell on my three friends, Crayon, Barley and Dolly.Did Crayon just call me a freak? I chose to ignore that and plastered a fake smile to d
I sped down the road recklessly with tears pouring without restraint as I headed to my house, finally heeding Alpha Kai's bidding to go home. There is no way I was going to that prom without the love of my life. Julian, with my sister? I still can't believe it. My head was blurred in confusion that I escaped being hit by another car, and hitting a truck before I finally got home. I rushed out, meaning to hide away in my room and cry my eyes out but the moment I reached the door and was about to push it open, I overheard my parents bickering and rapidly came to a halt to listen in. My parents hardly ever quarrelled, which meant this was something serious. "...you caused it, Kent. If we had told her all this wouldn't have happened. We should have prepared for this!" my mother blared in a shaky tone."I was only trying to protect her, Salome. What do you think she would have done when she found out, huh?""At least she will know... Now I can't even live with myself knowing we lied to h
(Gwen)When I left the house, I didn't know what I was doing or what I was going to do. All I knew was that I needed to be far from there. From my pack. Everyone. They all betrayed me. Including the moon goddess. She gave me everything I wanted and then in just one day, in just one night, ripped everything from me.I had entered my car-Julian’s car precisely- and had zoomed off.I didn't even know where I was going. I just drove. I drove until I reached the border between us and the humans but instead of driving there I reversed to the left and made for the formidable border we shared with the Lycans.They were a no-story when it came to the werewolf clan. We avoided them as much as we could because just as we were enemies to the vampires, we were more of an enemy to a Lycan. To be honest, I don't know what brought about the enmity, but the little I snatched from gossip, a Lycan Prince was once betrayed by a werewolf Alpha female on the night of their wedding. They had planned to mar
"What did you say?" He asked me in a voice meant to intimidate me.I shifted on the bed, my eyes skittering to the door in case he tried anything foul. "I said I am not going to accept your rejection." He scoffed, and loomed closer as his fist flexed as though he had it in his mind to squash me, then after an eerie silence, he let out a dark smirk, turned and stormed to the door."Where are you going?" I asked, tried to lift my head but fell back in pain. That is my mate walking away. I lost the love of my life only to find my mate and now he's just going to reject me and walk away like that? "Come back here!"The door slammed in my face and two minutes later, the lady from before came barreling in. This time she wasn't smiling. "What did you do to his majesty?""Excuse me?" "He was very cranky and ordered you are to be cared for and discharged immediately." She took my wrist and checked for something I didn't care for."Is he your King?The overall King, like the Alpha King?""Yes, a
