Blake's POV I walked into the house with a heavy heart as I just couldn't comprehend what I had just received from the seer a few moments ago, the words spoken still echo in my mind, loud and clear. “We just have to investigate quietly to know who this person might be!" I heard my Beta whisper beside me as I turned to face him.“Yeah, I guess so! We had a long day today. You can go and rest and wash up! If I need to discuss this further, I will call for you but I need to rest now, my head is not in the right place at the moment!” I instructed him as he nodded and walked away. I walked further as I thought about how the moon goddess blessing can be a curse to us if we don't find the person on time but what if the person isn't within my proximity, how do I go about it? I am so confused! Three maids crossed my front and I beckoned on them. “Where is Lady Gwen?” I asked them, no one in particular. “We haven't seen much of her today!” One of them responded. "Was she acting differentl
Blake's POV I walked to the hall where the meeting will be conducted but instead of entering it, I just stood by the entrance, lost in my thoughts for the umpteenth time today. It had been two days and yet Gwen's condition had still remained a mystery which was hard to solve. And even despite moving her to the general hospital outside of the pack house, there hasn't been any improvement as the doctors there are just baffled with whatever the heck is wrong with her. They just couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with her in particular and it was beginning to gnaw at me, my mind, my soul and everything that concerns me. I sighed again, shaking off the overwhelming sense of helplessness that had become a second skin. After a little while, I heard someone calling me repeatedly as I looked up to see Beta Felix approaching me with that calm aura of his. “Alpha Blake, you don't look too good! Should we postpone the meeting again? We had postponed it before, but it won't be a problem now!" He
Gwen's POV The nurse helped me to sit up, the room was different from the one I knew but I kept quiet as the doctor went about some examination on me. He had his brows in a tight furrow as he gave me his full concentration, his eyes moving and scanning the various monitors and charts around him. He went on, asking me a bunch of questions, it was more, a myriad! Though his voice was calm, I could sense the disbelief laced around the edge. “So how do you feel, Lady Gwen?" He asked for the umpteenth time, going on to check my pulse again. I don't understand the need to repeat certain questions and examinations. “Like I said earlier, over and over again, I am fine!" I almost snapped at him because I was beginning to lose control and was getting frustrated. “I am sorry about that but I mean now, how do you feel now?” He asked again. "Argh! I feel good… fine!" I replied softly, I allowed my mind to drift away somewhere else which happened to be the events that happened before I passed
Blake's POV I looked out the window as I sighed for the umpteenth time, the journey back to the pack house just felt longer than usual because of the unsettling silence in the car. I turned to look at Gwen who had just been staring out the window with her face masked with detachment from everything around her even myself. I just couldn't fathom her or understand what was going on in her head or with her entirely. She was lost, suddenly moody, and looked unhappy, I couldn't even reach out to her as she was completely gone. I tried to break the thick tensed-up silence again so I cleared my throat and turned my full attention to her. “Gwen, don't you find it unbelievable? I still find it unbelievable that I will be a father, and that we will be parents in a few months. And this is exactly what I have dreamt about for years even before I met you and you have given me this bundle of joy on a platter of gold! I'm excited and grateful, my lady!” I said to her as she adjusted a little and
Blake's POV “Oh shit!" I yelled, hitting the headrest before me. I should have kept it in, I should have controlled myself, now I could only stare at her as she walked away while regretting my outburst. “Oh shit!" I uttered again with deep regret. I screamed into my hands, letting out a frustrated groan then I sighed, adjusted myself then stepped out of the car. I gestured at the driver for the shameful drama that happened behind him. She bowed and got back into the car before driving away to the garage. I walked straight to the entrance and wasn't fully concentrated when I almost bumped into Nora. I wanted to walk away when she came into my way and bowed deeply. I moved back wondering what she was up to. “I would like to use this medium to say I am sorry for being rude to you Alpha Blake. I shouldn't have spoken to you that way and I apologize. I tried to get your audience these past two days but you were just so unavailable!" She apologized and then stood straight with her head
Blake's POV I turned abruptly upon hearing my name, only to see Nora smile at me pleasantly like she had just won an award for the best at something. It was normal but it just felt weird. I was so confused and worried as a thought gnawed within me that she might have heard me and Gwen's conversation. She can't know that Gwen is pregnant, I don't know why she must not know. I might just be paranoid or maybe have some unnecessary fatherly instincts but I just feel something bad, something terrible is going to happen. And I am avoiding that at all costs. My heart started beating hard with fear and worry that she might know, I had to know if she knew something so I stomped over to her with anger simmering just beneath the surface but it was still obvious that I was angry. “Oh my goodness! What are you doing here? Tell me, what are you seeking? When did you get here? How long have you been standing here?" I questioned, my voice tinged with suspicion I was trying to hide and suppress.
Blake's POV I looked out the window of my office as the evening wore on and took over the day. I walked back to my seat and glanced at the papers strewn across my desk. Over the hours that I have been in here, I have not been able to focus on anything. I sat down and tried to do my best to understand what was before me when I heard a knock on the door. “Come in!" I beckoned to the person at the door. Aurelia, one of Gwen's maids, walked into the office and then bowed. I straightened up at her presence and what she possibly had for me. “So what did she say?" I asked her when she was taking forever to open her mouth and talk. “Alpha Blake, good evening! I have been instructed to tell you by my lady, that she won't be coming down to eat dinner or with you either. She would love to eat dinner in her room!” She informed me. "Again?” I asked her. She nodded as her eyes were glued to the floor. "Yes, Alpha Blake!” She replied quickly and quietly. I watched her keenly and smelt the emot
Gwen's POV My breath was ragged with fear and anger towards this creature before me, I slammed the door hard in her face before turning and locking the door. I froze in terror as I took in Nora's form before me. She was just standing outside, how could she be inside my room? I seem to have forgotten the kind of creature she is. She stood in the shadows of the room with a wicked smirk plastered in her face and I could even feel it.I gasped as I almost entered the door and slipped down almost to the floor, in a sitting posture. I felt her eyes darkening with something more sinister than anger at me as she started laughing high and wickedly.“Hi, Gwen!" She greeted me before stepping forward, I almost pissed my pants, literally or not! "What are you doing here? How did you get in?" I asked her in a trembling voice. Demanding the truth of something I already know. "We both know, you know what I am capable of doing, so drop that foolish act of yours! It won't help you as it won't help
