”Hello? Gabby, you still there?” ”Oh, Uhm, yeah i’m here. Listen, thank you for everything you’ve done to prepare for this but, uh…” I was stuck for the right words. Everything felt so right, right now, and the idea of leaving just made me feel sick to my stomach. What if this was where I was supposed to be? Maybe this was my faith, to be with Aiden, everything had been going so well that I believed I was developing actual feelings for him. Were we mates? Probably not, I didn't have my wolf yet so I had no idea who my mate was and I might never find out but if what I had with Aiden was real, emotionally, then maybe it didn't matter whether or not I had a mate. As long as I stayed with him, I could still live in a happy relationship. ”I’m gonna pass on the move,” I said and it was met with silence but the smile returned to Casandra's lips and her eyes started glimmering. ”Are you happy?” He asked me. ”I actually am,” I said and scoffed and shook my head. Never thought I would sa
I was up in the room and with a shaky hand I picked up my phone and dialed. ”Hey!” ”The plan, walk me through it, what do I have to do?” ”Gabby, is everything alright?” ”Just get me out of here!” I threw clothes into my bags, closing them up and cramming down whatever I could as fast as I could. The door opened and my head jerked up, terrified to see Aidenw aalking in but it was Cassy who ran inside. ”Cassy, I'm sorry but I can’t-” She started pulling my clothes out and pushing them down in my bags. She went into the bathroom and grabbed all of my products. ”You’re leaving this fucking place.” She spat and closed all the bags. We put them by the door and she huffed a breath and looked at me. ”You don't deserve this, all the pain you've been through, you deserve none of it.” She said. ”When will they be here?” She asked. ”In twenty minutes.” I said and looked at the clock. ”I’ll take two of the bags downstairs, do you need anything else?” I looked around the room. ”There
”Aiden, what bet?” My mom asked through seething teeth. I looked down at the table and flicked my tongue. ”What have you kids done.” She said in a breath and shook her head. I was on my way to the one person who could know where Gabby was. ’She won't want to see you’ She won't have a choice ’You allowed her rapist to walk free and you were among those that shunned her. She owes you nothing’ I am her Alpha ’Some Alpha’ He said and scoffed. I parked the car and started punching at the stirring wheel. I needed som of the aggression gone before I talked to Cassidy or she wouldn't tell me a thing. My wolf was right, I hadn't been an Alpha for a long time. The shiny exterior I showed my parents was nothing compared to the nasty things I had done or been part of behind their backs. I would have to think about all of that later. First things first. ”Alpha, to what do we owe this pleasure,” her father said as he opened the door. ”Is Cassidy home?” ”Cassy! Please, come in,” He said
I woke up to someone banging on my door. When I looked through the keyhole and saw his face and disheveled hair I was suddenly very much aware of how newly awake I was. I patted down my hair and fixed my robe. ”Hey,” I said when I opened the door. He was in a white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. His thick hair was messy and he looked just as awake as I was. ”Do you have coffee?” He asked tiredly with a cup in his hand. I smiled and nodded my head. The coffee brewed and he sat on the chair and dragged a hand over his face. I tidied up in the kitchen and put everything away. Just as I reached up in the cabinet to bring down two cups, I felt someone behind me. His arm came around my head and pulled down a cup, handing it to me. His body brushed against mine and I felt the heat he exuded. ”Thank you,” I said and adverted my gaze. I placed my hair behind my ear and walked over to the coffee pot. ”Do you have any plans today?” Easton asked and took out the creamer from the fridge.
~Gabby’s POV~ I was in the coffee shop and had arrived one hour early before opening to get aquatinted with the place. I assumed the owner would bolt as he had last time and I was right. The second he saw me, he walked into the back to finish up some paperwork and then he left. I watched YouTube tutorials on on my phone on how to make coffee and luckily I only had about six customers the first few hours. ”Hey, there,” Easton stepped inside and leaned on the counter. The night I had slept over at his place went fine. We slept in separate rooms and the day after he helped me call the landlord and get the lock fixed so I was now back home which felt even better. There was a mysterious cloud clinging to his body. I couldn't put my finger on it but I felt it when I slept there as well. There were no pictures of anyone in his apartment and there were no plants, no tv, nothing really that signified a home. But then again, I had to remind myself that not everyone was caught up on materi
”Alright someone needs to explain to me why we’re all freaking out about your brother being with Gabby! From what everyone in this pack has experienced by themselves he was a sweet, normal guy who just wanted to live like a human. Which I admit is weird but it was his choice and that’s why he left the pack, right?” Everyone fell silent. ”Go on, Alpha, tell her how everything your pack members know is a lie, tell them about who he actually was-” Edmund narrowed his eyes at me. ”-Tell her about how he didn't choose to leave the pack, but rather how his father banished him from the grounds and forced his son away to live with the humans. Tell her about how he tried to kill his own father to take over as Alpha!” ”What?” Cassy gasped and everyones’ heads fell. Cat’s out of the bag, might as well just lay all the cards on the table now. ’Just a few years too late’ I could really use your support, dumbass ’Name calling, that’s a good way to get my support’ ”It started when Asher wa
His hand slipped down and his lips were pressed against mine as I squirmed. I turned my head and began to shake. ”Easton, stop,” I felt his finger over the thin fabric of my panties. ”Stop,” I breathed and my breath caught in my throat. I didn't know how to react. My body wanted him but my heart and mind were screaming for him to stop. ”Easton, stop it!” I screamed and started pulling frantically. He stopped and stepped back. ”What the hell is wrong with you!” I screamed and backed away into the table. ”I-i’m sorry I didn't think you were…I'm sorry,” he said and took a few steps back. ”I’m so sorry, I didn't you were serious. I shouldn't have done that, I'm so sorry,” I looked down at the floor and pulled my shirt down. ”I think you should go,” I said and pulled my arms around myself, pushing back the tears that were rising. ”Gabby, I-” ”Just go, please.” I said and narrowed my eyes. I tilted my head back and focused on the purple painting behind him instead of looking into
”And who is this?” He asked as he came up to us and stopped in front of me with merely an inch of air in between. ”This is my new friend, Gabriella,” everyone turned to us, their eyes suddenly narrowed and their eyebrows hunched. ”Good job, I was getting bored of the regulars.” He said and cupped my cheek. I drew in a sharp breath and I held it. All my danger bells were ringing so loud that I couldn't hear myself think. ”Easton,” I said again and turned my head to the side to look at him. He smirked and lifted his head. ”Yeah, baby?” ”Shh, don’t look at him,” the man in front of me said and turned back my head and cupped my other cheek as he leaned down. ”Look at me.” He said with a smile and then pressed his lips down on mine. I struggled and turned but he was strong, too strong. I whimpered and started digging my nails into his arms. ”She’s feisty, that always makes it more fun,” he said as he pulled back. ”I’m Aron and we’re gonna get to know each other really well to
