Gwaine’s POV:What was that?” Catherine asked, clinging to the sleeve of my shirt. I helped her come down from my legs as we both stared at the door.“Go up into your room and shut the door. Don’t open the door for anyone except me.” I said, walking towards the door and holding it open for her. Catherine’s face twisted as she frowned.“Why can’t I come with you? I also want to know what’s going on.” She said stubbornly. This wasn’t the time for arguments.“Catherine, you would do as I ask of you because it is not a request!” I said, my voice higher than I intended for it to be. She looked at me for a few seconds as if trying to decide if I was serious or not. Her face wasn’t completely visible due to the poor lighting in the room but the sadness in her eyes were so obvious it made my heart twist. I hated seeing her like that but this was the only way to be sure she was safe.She hurried over, sharing one last glance with me before walking away. From the loud stumping of her feet, I co

I sat in the living room, a blanket wrapped around my legs as I watched the clock, waiting for the Alpha to return home. I still felt like I was being watched but the only thing that gave me a sense of security was the number of guards in the perimeter. No one was going to break into a heavily guarded house to hurt me.After a couple of hours, It was starting to get a lot harder to keep my eyes open. I caught myself dosing off and intervals so I stood up and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water in the hopes that it would keep the dizziness at bay.Immediately I stepped out of the living area, I noticed the overwhelming feeling of someone arching me intently ended. It was as though I only felt uncomfortable in the living area. I pulled out a cold bottle of water and emptied its contents into a glass cup, consuming it completely in a few gulps. After replacing the cup where I had taken it from, I headed back to the sitting room, determined to stay awake until the arrival of the

Gwaine’s POVThe large clearing was filled with pack members. The turn up made me warm inside. The people have been scared recently, barely participating in anything outdoor related so I was glad to see that almost everyone was present.I turned, my eyes darting in every corner as I searched for Catherine. She wasn’t here. A sweat rolled down my face as I searched again, this time walking towards the car to see if she had gotten bored and decided to take a quick nap inside.I had specifically asked her to stay close to me at all times but she clearly hadn’t. The thought of her being with Regan crossed my mind and I sighed in relief. I searched for Regan and he was pretty easy to find. From where I stood, I sighted him talking to a woman with a short blonde hair.It was probably Catherine, I thought. Maybe she didn’t want to bother me, that should explain why she went with Regan. She had her back to me and seemed to be laughing hard at whatever he was saying.A wave of anger flashed th

I sat at the river bank, my drawing board perfectly mounted. The joyful Melodies of the birds chirping in a distance echoed through the forests, all the way to the river bank. It was sunny so the water felt warm as the waves splashed against my feet. I stared at the river for a while, taking in the peaceful view. I picked a stone and tossed it into the river, watching the ripples with a smile on my face.I returned to the rock I had occupied earlier and started to draw. I faced the river and since I loved the view of the glassy water and the forest behind it, I decided to draw it so as to keep this memory with me forever.I sketched the water, recreating the ripples I had created with the rock earlier. Next, I drew the thick rows of green trees that lined the other side of the river. After adding final touches to the sky, I stood up and headed towards the river.It was hot and a bath in the river would definitely make me feel a lot better. I removed my sundress, slowly untying the kno

We sat in Gwaine’s car, the ear throbbing music playing was enough to put anyone in a bad mood. I sat quietly, trying my best to endure this modern form of torture.After a few minutes, I realized I couldn’t. “Is your music taste actually this bad or you’re trying to trigger something in me?”He passed me an offended glance, then proceeded to turn the whole thing off.“You go ahead and pick a song, let’s see if you’re any better.” He said, smiling as he nudged me to go on.“I’d rather enjoy the peace and quiet.” I replied, reclining in my sit.He scoffed, “Scared you’d be worse than I am? I get.” He let out a deep mocking laughter and I couldn’t help but join in.“I’m not scared of a challenge, I just prefer the silence.”He turned the music back on and when he noticed the frown that settled on my face, he changed it into something more calming. I let out a sigh of relief as I closed my eyes and let myself appreciate the music.We drove for a while, the most part of the drive was qui
