Westley Pov
I wasn’t surprised when William showed up at school because I knew that Delta Everett was supposed to be head of Gemma’s security detail. I thought when I asked to take her to school Ev would follow us, or meet us at school. When that didn’t happened I knew it was only a matter of time before a seething rage filled Alpha Keen graced us with his presence, and I wasn’t wrong.
I stare at my little sunshine when she comes out of the vice principal’s office, and she looks even more broken then when she went in. Why does he have to do that to her every single time, and doesn’t he know how stressed out she was already about today? I’m trying to hold back my anger so I don’t make her mood worse but when I notice the tears threatening to fall from her eyes my self-control is further tested. I flash a smile at her trying to cheer her up “I got our schedules my mom thought it best for us to have all the same classes just
Westley POV The cafeteria is buzzing with gossip as we enter together, and before we even get our food Madison blocks our path. “I still don’t understand how you’re supposed to be Alpha Keen’s mate? If you’re really his fated mate why you are all over his brother, and what the hell was with you guys nuzzling each other in front of our entire class? ….. Unless aww did our Alpha not like our new Luna.” She mocks Gemma with a fake pout, and once again Williams’s choices are fucking with my little sunshine’s happiness. “Shut the fuck up Madison your just jealous because she can get everything you can’t.” As I’m scolding Madison her jaw drops but as she makes a revelation in her head a devilish smirk spreads across her face. Gemma moves closer to me, and I hug her tight to my side knowing she has no idea what’s to come. Madison dead stares at Gemma like she’s about to kill her, “Oh really how is that possible sense I’ve already fucked her ma
Gemma POV I wake up in Westley’s arms in the pack house living room I look up at him and when I inhale deeply, I notice he has a more distinct scent that I’ve never noticed before. It’s a mixture of the forest during a storm and eucalyptus the scent is so calming I can’t get enough of it. When he moves his hand up and down my arm electricity so intense is left behind everywhere our skin meets. When I snuggle back into his chest and take another deep breath of his scent, he stares down out me smiling while the conversation continues around us. I scan the room noticing Keen is sitting right next to us looking empty or shatter, but when I try to pick up his scent it’s so faint, I can barely notice it which makes me confused. I can’t help but gaze at him checking to see if I can still feel his emotions, and I notice that although I can still feel his emotions it’s like a whisper not intense like it’s supposed to be. I look back up at Westley
Alpha Keen POV I know i've totaly fucked up, but i'm not going to sit back like everyone else and allow her to think Westley is her savior. “I’m sorry I can’t allow this to continue. I’m not going to be painted as the only monster in this room. Westley do you want me to explain or will you?” I pause to wait for an answer, but all he does is glare at me growling. Gemma is looking between us puzzeled, so i figure if West wants to stay tight lipped it's up to me. “Okay West, I will take your silence as you want me to do the honors. Gemma, you think I manipulated you huh, and I can see why you would feel that way. I take full responsibility for using our bond and your naivety against you, it makes me sick just thinking how i abused my most precious gift." West rolls his eyes sighs loadly and shifts on the couch while mumbling something under his breath, and I just glare at him. "Did you want to do this Westley? .. No your going to keep being the co
Alpha Keen POV My office was full as the council meeting started precisely at 8:00am, and all eyes were on Westley and Myself. It felt weird having my father sitting in my chair, his Beta Marvin my mates father flanking his right, his Delta Alexander my Beta Andrews father on his left, and the counsel made up of five elders is sitting in a half circle in front of the desk my father is sitting at. Westley and I are instructed to sit in the visitors’ chairs making us smack dab in the middle of this shit show. “Lets start the meeting by reading what’s on the agenda. Beta Marvin do the honors.” My father steps back in to being the residing Alpha like he never left, and his emotionless stern expression is making me uneasy. “First on the agenda, Alpha Keen and Westley’s infractions against our future Luna Gemma Rose Killian. Second, the position of Alpha for the Midnight Crescent Pack.” When he says this, it’s taking all my control to
Alpha Keen POV I wake up spread out on my office rug, with bloody hands, and cuts all over my arms. I can still feel the rage pulsating behind my eyes just thinking about the Coven King claiming my mate as his own. I mind link my father to let him know I’m awake and heading to my room to nap until I need to train Gemma this afternoon. He reminds me that I need to inform her of the counsel’s punishment, and he explains how it’s my responsibility to make sure she doesn’t refuse to train. Now I understand how this is a punishment trying to talk Gemma into letting me train her while she doesn’t want to be anywhere near me is not going to be easy. Oh yeah and due to her rejection, our mate bond is so weak I can’t count on that to help me. As I stand outside her door thinking about how I’m going to play this I get the strong scent of blood. My heart begins to race as I start pounding on the door, and the longer I don’t get an answer the more p
Gemma POV I awake when the warmth of the sun hits my face, but when I try to stretch out, I notice something heavy is wrapped around my waist. I take a deep breath drawing in the overwhelming scent of hot chocolate and leather, and then I panic why is Keen in my bed? Then I try to remember how I even got to the bed, and I wince as the pain coming from my head and arm take me by surprise. I glance down survey my situation, I have an IV in my arm, and silky pajamas on that I’ve never seen before. Then I feel the magnetic pull of a mate bond that’s so strong that it took my breath away, and as I look over my shoulder to see who it’s pulling me into, I gasp. It’s none other than the big bad Alpha Keen tightly holding my body flush against his, and now I’m wondering if I’m still dreaming. My wolf ripped our mate bond to shreds to give it away to someone that tricked me into thinking he was trust worth and my safe place, but that was all a lie
Gemma POV I don’t know how to feel when Keen tells me I “will go into heat in the next three days.” I'm trying to think about what that could possibly mean, and the only thing I can think of is seriously perverted. He can’t possibly mean that though, and I’m not going to freak out until I have tangible information. Information that he will provide for me, or that promise about not freaking out is going out the window. “What does that mean? I’m sorry I’ve never heard of anyone going into heat can you explain?” I ask him, because I’m hoping it isn’t what I had thought. “Maybe we should call my mother she might be able to answer your questions better.” Nope I think that what I was thinking is exactly what he’s talking about, shit. “No, I’m already embarrassed that my parents kept me ignorant to our people’s ways of life. So even though this seems super uncomfortable to you I’m going to need you to explain it to me.” I try to plead with him by givi
Alpha Keen POV I’m trying not to convey how worried I am about her, but the more I try not to panic the more distressed is showen on my face. She breaks me out of my own thoughts when she whispers, “don’t feel bad okay, if you help me, I’m sure we can figure this out right?” How did the Moon Goddess think that I was good enough for this woman? She’s all the things I’m not pure, kindhearted, selfless to a fault, and completely naïve. At least her parents did one thing right they didn't let the harshness in the world dull her light with, but I sure the fuck did and i don't know if I will ever forgive myself. I was in awe again, I've messed with her view of the world by putting her through some pretty messed up shit, and she is still trying to comfort me. “How do you do that Gemma?” She only stares at me perplexed by my question. “Do what?” She doesn’t even realize how kindhearted she is always being it's instinctual for her, or maybe
