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
Alpha Keen POV I’ve never allowed a woman to actually sleep with me, because I like my personal space not to mention the act seemed to intimate. But waking up to Gemma next to me for the second day in a row is the best feeling, and watching her angelic face rest so peacefully in my arms is now probably one of my favorite things. I lose myself watching her sleep, when I’m suddenly pulled back from realty when I hear a knocking at the door. It’s not the doctor or nurse because they know to just come in after one knocking, it’s not an omega they usually call first, and I don’t want to answer it once I realize the only possibilities left. They don’t seem to be taking the hint to just go away, so I carefully pull myself away from my little Rose bud. As I’m opening the door, I can already tell who it is, and I’m not happy. “Good morning Westley, what do you want Gemma is sleeping?” He’s stunned, I think to myself what brother not expecting her
Gemma POV I have no idea what I was thinking when I invited him to shower with me, but I knew that I needed to rush myself into being okay with having sex with him. I didn’t know any other way to get him naked without sounding like a total pervert. Like ‘hey Keen strip I need to see you naked’ yeah that wasn’t going to sound crazy, so I took a chance for once and it worked. Us being naked together was a good place to start, but I didn’t realize how intimate the whole act of showering would be. It helped with making me feel more comfortable with him, but it also made me nervous that I was only going to be hurt again. I could feel myself falling head over heels for my big bad Alpha, and I couldn’t push myself past the fact that not long ago he just wanted to use me as a plaything. I needed to get over that though because whether he didn’t want me before, we were going to have to have sex whenever my heat started. I w
Alpha Keen POV I didn’t think I would miss her as much as I am, but now that I’m standing in the ballroom greeting guest, I notice myself glancing at the stairs every few moments. When I get a hint of the scent my heart starts to race, and when I see her come into view at the top of the stairs everything besides her fades into the background. I can’t tare my eyes away from and in that moment it’s as if it’s only her and I, and as my Queen elegantly prowls down the stairs towards me she takes my breath away. My smile is beaming at my mate, but as I’m about to walk towards her I catch mood shifting as a frown replaces her smile. I can’t help but become confused as I mouth to her ‘what’s wrong?’ She glares at me moving her eyes the spot to the right of me, and I glance to my right coming inches away from Madison’s face. She has an inhuman smirk that looks like she’s just claimed her first kill, and that kill is me. Her sadistic smile grows
Gemma POV As I can feel Keen’s eyes watching me leave I can feel the pain that his gaze alone holds, and even though I can’t help but feel doubt yet again creeping in to our mate bond Westley needs me right now. I can’t help but look back at Keen though and when I see his frown as our eyes meet I want so badly to run back into his embrace, but the chance of him hurting me again holds me back. I didn’t realize that outside of our Quarters being together is more difficult then I could of imagined. As I am walking Westley out of the ballroom I can’t help but feel the tug of my mate bond, and the wish that we could of just stayed in the moment that we had in the bathroom this morning. We enter the private room off the ballroom that was set up for me and Keen in case we needed a break from the ceremony. When he told me about it I knew it wasn’t for us, but more for me in case I got overwhelmed by the entire pack which wasn’t as bad as I thoug
Alpha Keen POV This is seriously fucked up, and it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that the Royal Coven manipulated us into doing exactly what they wanted. My father had sent my mate and the future Luna away from our pack so she would be safe, but really he had sent her away without knowing that’s exactly what the people threatening her wanted. That King didn’t want her bonding with any of us so she wouldn’t have any ties to our pack when he came and stole her away in the night like a proper thief. I didn’t want to leave Gemma alone with the mystery woman who claimed to be her sister, but I made sure Delta Everett was standing guard with two of my best warriors. I know it probably hurt my Rose bud, but I really don’t want to ever loose control of myself around her. Gemma’s dad was handling Madison down in the dungeons, and I thought informing him of what his mate did to her own daughter probably wasn’
Gemma POV When we got to the clearing Jennifer began to set up the reversal spell, and by the end she had me standing in the middle of a circle with two crescent moons on either side. She elegantly placed what I think was sage and a black salt mixture in this diagram I sat in the middle of. Then she moved around placing clear quarts at certain spots, and amethyst at other points. It felt like I was in the middle of a teenage drama starring my badass half-sister as the lead witch, and at any moment a demon was going to grace us with their presence. Before I know it she’s given me a tiger’s eye pendant to wear around my neck, an agate stone to hold in my left hand, and a large chrysocolla stone to hold in my right hand. After having been told I was a werewolf less then a week ago nothing seems impossible anymore, but having a half-sister who is a witch seems more believable then me being able to turn into a wolf. “Okay Gemma, I’m r
Gemma POV Yes, I was glowing, but not in the dewy beautiful way that naturally magnificent women do. It was more of a luminescence that was radiating out of me lighting up a small area around me. “Jennifer, when will this whole glowing thing stop?” She looks at me puzzled, like I had just asked her the dumbest question. “Sorry I keep forgetting you’re not educated on the supernatural world. It will dissipate when you want it to, I mean it is your powers that radiate the light not something else.” I cock my head side ways at her, “just close your eyes and sense your power. Hell most neophytes give their powers a color so do that. Do you have a color?” I nod “yellow seems like most appropriate.” She laughs “sure okay, now as you sense it let it take shape slowly so you can feel it’s full range of power. When you get the full picture of it’s power slowly start to shrink it’s reach, condensing your power into a small ball. Visualize a treasure chest or a safe, and
