Gwyneth I woke up the next day and showered. I waited for my breakfast, but it never came. I guessed feeding me was off the to-do list. I wasn't going to beg Alpha Marcus for food. I wore my slacks and was ready to head to the woods to hunt for food when I heard a familiar voice call out to me in the hallway. I turned around and saw Beta Micheal. Great, he was one of the people I didn't want to see. I waited for him to catch up to me. "Where are you going?" he asked me. "To the woods," I replied, and he looked at me funny. "I like it there," I told him, and he nodded. "Did you go to the clinic to get yourself checked?" he asked, and I shook my head. "No need, I heal fast," I replied, and he nodded. "By the way, your wolf is beautiful," he complimented, and I was surprised he was being nice to me. I needed to be careful. It might be a trap. "Thank you, Beta Micheal," I said and wanted to turn away. "Gwyneth," he said again, and I was patient enough to listen to what he had to s
Gwyneth Alpha Marcus sat next to his beta and had a scowl on his face. We hadn't spoken since I had told him to leave me alone, and I wasn't looking forward to speaking to him. He had tried to humiliate me and failed. "Did you guys get married?" Alpha Mason asked Alpha Marcus, and we both answered. I said no, and Alpha Marcus said yes. "We are married," Alpha Marcus said, and Alpha Mason looked at me. "So she is your Luna?" He asked, and we both said no. Finally, something we agreed on. "So nothing is going on between you two?" He asked, and Marcus angrily said no. "Why are you asking these questions, Mason?" he finally asked. He tried to be calm, but I knew he wasn't. He could fool everyone but not me. "She's cute, and I like her, that is why," Mason said playfully, and I blushed. It had been a long time since someone had said that about me. Coming from a handsome man like Mason, I knew it was a big deal. "I have seen better," Marcus said, spoiling my moment. "You have been m
Gwyneth If I didn't know my room so well, I would have guessed that I had wandered into the wrong place. Where was everything now? I sat on the bed, not knowing whom to ask or what to do. I looked for my cell phone, but it wasn't there. I had left it to charge. I began to panic. I always called my father. How am I going to communicate with him now? I tried hard not to cry. I was about to lie down when a lady entered the room. "Luna Gwyneth, Alpha Marcus asked us to move your things to his quarters. Please follow me." the woman said, and I thought I didn't hear her right. Did she just refer to me as luna? Maybe she hadn't gotten the memo yet. I wasn't Luna, but I kept it to myself. I wasn't going to correct her. Why did that man move my stuff to his room? What was he up to? I couldn't stand him; how was I going to be able to sleep with him lying next to me. Had he somehow decided to consummate the marriage? The thought of that frustrated me. I followed her silently until we got to hi
Gwyneth I woke up the next morning feeling light and free. It was an amazing feeling. I was alone on the bed, and my heart sunk a bit. Did Alpha Marcus sleep on the couch? I went up to check and realised he wasn't in the room. He must have got up early and gone out. Alphas were usually busy. I would have been surprised to find him still asleep. Someone knocked on the door. And I answered immediately. Food was brought in for me. "Good morning, Luna," the servers greeted me, which was odd. Usually, they served the food quietly and left, but this was different. They served it with the utmost respect and left. I sat on the bed in the room and looked around me. There was so much peace. I thought of what transpired between Alpha Marcus and me. My face coloured, and I had a tingling feeling in my stomach. He was so gentle, and he took me by surprise. Leah was taken by him already. If life was going to be like this with him, then my father's arrangement wasn't so bad after all. I showered
Gwyneth "Did you sleep well?" He asked, and I managed to reply. "Good, I had to take an emergency trip this morning. I might be away for two weeks. I am leaving you and Micheal in charge. Don't let me regret it." He said, and before I could say anything, he hung up. I was very angry. He should have at least said goodbye properly. I realised we weren't there yet. We still had a long way to go, or we might never get there. I needed to keep my emotions in control. I handed the phone back to Micheal, and his facial expression indicated that he knew my mood had changed. "Be patient, Gwen. He will come around. Look at it this way; he didn't want to have anything to do with you in the first place; now, he is getting jealous, checking on you, and even moving you into his room. Alpha is taking baby steps. I think he feels something for you, and he is too scared to become attached, and we can all understand why. Just be patient." He said, and I wanted to tell him I felt nothing for the guy.
Gwyneth We ordered food and discussed a lot of things. Alpha Mason was a fun guy to be around, and I also noticed that he was two years younger than Alpha Marcus. When we were leaving, he promised to come to visit us within the week, and Micheal told him he would be more than happy to receive him, and we parted ways. While we rode back, Micheal decided to speak to me. "Don't let people know that Alpha hasn't consummated the marriage," he told me, and I got angry. Why should I lie about getting some? "Or else what?" I asked, angry and frustrated. "Alpha Mason likes you, and there is some chemistry between you two. Alpha Marcus won't like it, and that will make him mean towards you because he would not be able to trust you. Besides, the two families have pending issues they are yet to move past. They are friends quite alright, but there is little trust between them." He warned me, and I wondered what it was. Knowing Micheal wouldn't volunteer the information, I kept my questions to
Gwyneth Micheal tried to talk me out of patrolling, but I had nothing better to do. I didn't want to think of Alpha Marcus, and I wanted my hormones in check. The only thing I could do was patrol at night and fight if the need arose. "If you are hell-bent on this, then I will have to join you," Micheal said, and I shook my head. "Nothing should happen to both of us at the same time," I argued, and he nodded. "Exactly, Gwen. You are Luna; I should stick my head out before you." He argued. "Luna by name. Alpha Marcus will be distraught if anything happens to you. I am replaceable. Please don't let us have this argument." I said, and I made my stance known to him. Micheal was reluctant about my decision, but he had no choice but to let me be. The day went by smoothly. Alpha Mason visited, and Micheal wasn't happy about it. Micheal was too busy to attend to him, so I had to. We had some small talk and strolled on the premises, but I always made sure someone was watching so I do not g
Gwyneth Alpha Marcus held me against the wall, and I could feel his rage. "Your lips are so beautiful that I want to kiss them all my life.." he said, recalling one of Mason's texts to me. "I want to show you what love is..." He continued from another text. "If you were mine, I would worship you and your body because you are a goddess.." He continued, and my cheeks began to colour out of embarrassment. "I can't stop thinking of you.." he continued, and I placed my hands over my ears. I had heard enough. "Should I continue, Gwen?" he asked angrily, and I shook my head. "Please let me go to the couch. You are angry now. We can talk things out in the morning..." I said. "Did he touch you?" he asked, and I refused to answer. "Did you let him touch you, Gwen?" he asked again, and I held my peace. He must think I am easy, to ask me such a question. "Your silence indicates he did," he said, and I tried to move away, but he stopped me. "Please let me go," I said, and he snapped. "I
