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 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 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

Gwyneth I didn't know I was crying until I entered my room. I remembered what Micheal had told me and figured Micheal was either lying or didn't know his Alpha well. Celibacy, my foot. I wished I wasn't a virgin. I would have gone on a sex spree after what I had seen. The fear of giving it up to just anyone is what stopped me. I decided I would take Alpha Mason up on his offer when next I see him. "Where are you?" I heard the invasive voice of the hypocrite Alpha, and I ignored him. I was angry. I figured that was why he kicked me out of his room. I probably wasn't good enough. The woman was pretty and looked older than me. It was understandable that he would be attracted to her. "Open the door, Gwen, or I will break it down again." I heard him say through the link, and I went to open the door, not because I wanted to, but because I didn't want him destroying the lock again. "You don't strike me as a one-minute man, Alpha. Are you sure she was satisfied before you left? I hate to b

Gwyneth I went to his room and was about to knock when he spoke in my head. "Come in, the door is open." I opened the door and walked in. What I saw amazed me. The room was lit romantically, and there was lavender scent everywhere. An arrow was made from rose petals, and it pointed towards the bedroom. On the table was a bottle of Rose champagne and two champagne glasses. There was a birthday cake, and I walked to it and saw the cake was for me. How did he know? I was overtaken with emotion that I cried tears of Joy. "Happy Twentieth Birthday, Gwen," Alpha Marcus said and stepped out of the shadows. He looked handsome in his casual t-shirt and jeans. On his hand was a bouquet of white and purple orchid flowers. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach. I couldn't believe it. Was I dreaming? Alpha Marcus walked up to me and hugged me. He handed me the flowers, and I happily took them from him. I felt underdressed for the occasion. He popped the champagne and served both of us. We clinke
