Gwen's POV“Come on, Gwen! I said I am sorry!" He pleased following me around the room. I stopped by the sitting area and turned to him, I was still angry and pissed at him. “You didn't even ask me what happened, did you know how you looked at me?" I asked him. “That must have been unconscious and that is why I am pleading with you to not be angry at me. I'm sorry!" He said for the umpteenth time as I wasn't having it with him. “You always take her side and end up hurting me! You hurt me with your ‘best friend’ attitude with her! I am supposed to be your best friend!" I yelled, wrapped my arms around my chest angrily. The more I saw the picture, the angrier I got. He held my arm and looked at me but I didn't see his eyes. I noticed his eyes were filled with regret. “Gwen, can you just look at me and see my sincerity? I am truly sorry! I shouldn't have even hugged or taken sides with Nora! And I know I hurt you with that silly action, that was why I ran here immediately to apologiz
Gwen's POV I screamed, the sound shattering the stillness of the room as I felt Blake jolted awake beside me. “Gwen, what is it? Did you have a nightmare again?” He asked me with a thick deep voice of concern… and still sleepy. I didn't respond at once as my body was still trembling with fear, uncontrollably. I looked blankly ahead with terror, I had to brace myself to look around again and this time there was a creation or was it a figure? Anyway, the figure was gone I could still see the silhouettes of the figure in my head and it left this eerie feeling which was attached to his presence. The lamp by the bedside was switched on, flooding the room with its soft glow and reassuring light. Blake drew me closer to him as he followed my gaze. He also scanned the room with his eyes darting to every possible visible corner. I guess he was looking for any sign of danger because of my reaction. “Come on, Gwen! Tell me what the problem is! What happened?" He asked me again with a more u
Blake's POV I watched Gwen closely as she recounted what she had seen. She took a deep breath to steady her shaky breath before looking up to my gaze. She was really struggling and she could see the terror in her eyes“Blake, I… I saw something,” she started with a stammer, her body trembling uncontrollably. "I saw a creature. A figure! It was in the room, standing some feet away from the bed staring and watching us!” she explained to me as she pointed at the spot she had seen the figure who was a creature.Even though I had dismissed what she said as just stress which birthed all these, I couldn't deny the fear that laced every single word she spoke. She even moved away just because I refused to believe her but that's not true, I was just not ready to accept this!I knew for a fact that she wasn't lying in any way if making it up from some figment of her imagination. This was different from her once-usual nightmares. She believed what she saw and every word that processed out of h
Gwen’s POVThe next morning, I woke up to find out that the bed was empty, cool sheets being a blatant reminder that Alpha Blake was gone. A flicker of disappointment washed over me. I had hoped to wake up and have him right beside me, his presence a kind of comfort in the storm of emotions that swirled around us.I slowly sat up, stretched, and tried to wave away the remnants of sleep. The rows and tentative steps toward peace of the previous day replayed themselves in my mind. It felt like a fragile peace, one that could shatter with the slightest pressure. I couldn't help but wonder where Alpha Blake had gone so early in the morning.Probably off dealing more pack business, I thought, sighing softly. It was clear the responsibilities of leadership weighed heavily on him, yet what could I do? It didn't mean I couldn't feel the pang of loneliness, and uncertainty.I slipped out of bed, my bare feet striking the cold floor. I put a robe around me and padded over to the window. The su
Blake’s POVI and my Beta, Felix, walked in silence as we made our way through the dense forest leading to a cabin hidden far away from anyone else, the pack seer's cabin. The air was rife with anticipation, every rustle of leaves and snap of twigs beneath our feet just amplified that tension between us. My mind was a jumble of questions I hoped the seer could answer, questions that had been plaguing me ever since Gwen's revelation about Nora.Felix, feeling my internal conflict, finally broke the silence. "Alpha Blake, are you quite positive about this? You know the seer has never been one to give direct answers. Sometimes, her prophecies can be more confusing than enlightening.".I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "I know, Felix. But I need some clarity. Gwen's accusations against Nora have shaken me. I need to know the truth, and if anyone can give me a glimpse of it, it's the seer."Felix nodded, understanding the weight of my words. He, too, felt the unease that had set
Gwen’s POVBack and forth across my room, I paced, a jumbled mess of thoughts in my head. I had been desperately awaiting Alpha Blake's return, knowing that his visit to the seer could hold the key to understanding strange happenings within the pack. When one of the guards finally relayed that Alpha Blake had returned, I wasted no time. She rushed to Alpha Blake’s room, my heart was racing with hope and fear.The night was quiet with the moon shining brightly above, its rays a silver, glamour cast across the lands. I moved swiftly down corridors with my steps quick and determined. I needed to see Alpha Blake and hear what the seer had revealed. At his door, I did hesitate before knocking softly."Alpha Blake, it's Gwen. Can I come in?" I said, my voice barely audible.There was a slight pause before I heard Alpha Blake's tired voice from the other side. "Come in, Gwen."By the time I entered the room, Alpha Blake was undressing. His jacket was already off, and he was unbuttoning h
Gwen's POV I sat up and looked around, the night was quiet and still, save for the faintest rustling that was going on outside the window which is from the leaves. I looked to my side where Blake lay looking tired and stressed even though his breathing was deep and steady. I slowly took his hand off my body and then waved in his face to ensure he was fast asleep. Satisfied, I carefully slid out of the bed with my heart in my mouth as it pounded so hard and fast. I moved away slowly while straining my eyes to avoid making any sort of noise that might walk him up. He slightly stirred in his sleep as I held my breath and watched him for any sign of consciousness. After a while of watching, he was still motionless, I carefully dropped my legs then quietly padded across the room, grabbed a coat gently with slow movement opened the door, and turned to look at Blake who hadn't moved and l released his breath I had been holding. I peered out of the door into the corridor to see that it wa
Gwen's POV I looked around as I was surrounded by darkness, I quickly crouched behind the large couch that was in the corner of the room as darkness enveloped me. The fabric used on the couch brushed against my skin as I pressed myself further into the shadows without a noise and shallow and silent breathing. I squeezed my chest as the pounding of my heart echoed so loud, I could hear it in my ears and feared it might give me away. I brought my knees to my chest and hugged them, I could feel every muscle tense with the possibility of the ability to spring if necessary. Through the soft glow of the moonlight that crept through the thin curtains, I could see some areas as they cast faint patterns everywhere. I placed my head on my knees as I strained my ears for any sound or movements of someone or something or just even a sign of someone walking into the room. After a while, I looked up and I saw something with the help of the faint silver rays of light which came through from the w
