Gabriel's POVThe next time I woke up, I wasn't alone and it was Dawn already. Paige was cuddled into me, her teeth biting into a small portion of my neck. I smiled as I wriggled my way out of her mouth holding onto my poor neck. She moved to the other side and slept off again like a baby. I pushed some strands of hair out of her face and examined her.I know she would have a lot of questions when she woke up and at the same time, I'm afraid she won't say a word because she would find it impossible to believe that we had shared a dream and spent time together in her dreams. We didn't talk too much but I found out some little things about her that I love. Something like her favorite flower being lavender, her best Meal, and the one she hates most.That information might not count as something important but to me, they’re important. I was going too far and I pray I don't fall in love with this girl before I can help it. I want to protect her but I just don't want her near me. I’m like p
Paige’s POVLast night, I dreamt of Harry. It's been a while since I had a nightmare about what happened when we left the pack. Harry has a mental disorder that makes him rage with anger for unexpected reasons. He would throw almost everything down in the apartment, yelling profanities, and hit me if I'm in his way. It was draining but I had to endure because I kept on convincing myself that I loved him enough to bear all through that. I was just eighteen for goodness sake. I also didn't want to tell anyone because I was scared my parents would be worried but at the same time, I was killing myself and draining my wolf of every little strength left in her. One thing that left me confused when I woke up this morning was the fact that Gabriel was in that dream. He came to take me out of the room and took me to one of the nicest places I'd ever seen. I ended up telling him things about me and he told me he would take me to that garden when I'm away and ready. While taking a shower, I co
Crystina's POV"Don't you think there's something going on between Gabriel and Paige?" I asked Luka.We were walking hand in hand around the mostly men-dominated pack. Men who looked like they could kill thousands of people without blinking an eye. They could snap their fingers and my head would come rolling off my neck."Why do you say that?" "For starters, you could also feel how tense the atmosphere was yesterday, and also, they slept together last night. Is that supposed to be normal?" I asked.I talked to Paige all day yesterday till Gabriel walked in through the door. Paige didn't mention anything about them being involved or even being friends. I know she hates Gabriel's father and that made me doubt if there could be any relationship or friendship between them. So, last night, after I asked Gabriel if Luka was also back and he said yes, I dashed out of the room in excitement to meet my mate but what I expected was Paige following me or even Gabriel walking out of the door so
Paige's POVAfter breakfast, I went back into the room to check some of the clothes that Gabriel said he brought. It wasn't hard locating them since it was only two wardrobes in the closet. I was actually happy with the dresses, almost all of them were my sizes. Words failed me when I saw the underwear. Just as I lifted a new set of panties, Gabriel walked into the closet.I raised an eyebrow, widening my eyes as I stared at him. He stared at the panties I was holding up and smirked at me before he began rummaging through his wardrobe."Did I get your size wrongly?" I swallowed hard, taking in his words. I found it unbelievable that he was acting so normal after buying me stuff like this."You should've asked me," I replied, not trying to sound surprised."I didn't know how to walk up to you and ask for the size you wear for your panties and bra," I murmured incoherently, hoping he'll shut up and stop talking about my underwear so comfortably. He might be comfortable speaking that w
Gabriel's POV"When will you be there to fix it?" I demanded. After I left home, I came straight to meet the furniture guys in the pack. They were presently working on the penthouse that was in the Packhouse. "I'm sorry to say this commander, but we both know we fixed that stuff a week ago. Why are we doing it again?" I clicked my tongue. "Do I owe you any explanation for that? I want you to bring the kitchen shelves down a few inches?" "We built those shelves based on your height, Alpha," I was running out of patience and I pray I don't end up smashing someone's head against the wall tiles this very pleasant midday."Now, I want you to reduce that same height," "Based on a professional's experience…." I hit my hand against the wood, splitting it into two.The furniture guy took a step back and quickly looked away. He was beginning to irritate me. "Ask me one more question and I will send your head rolling at your feet, understood?" I growled."My apologies, commander," "Back t
Paige’s POVAs soon as those words left Samer's mouth, Gabriel growled. All eyes in the room turned to him except for mine. I pulled at my finger and stared at the floor. How was I supposed to tell Samer it wasn't possible and that I found my mate already? "What are you talking about, Samer?" I held his arm. My eyes glided to Gabriel and I held my breath. His eyes were pitch black and his jaws were so clenched they could hurt. Shit! Shit! I'd always bragged to Gabriel about going back to my boyfriend and now that I have the chance to, my heart feels like it's being split into two."I want you to stay here with me. I want us to be together officially," His confession came as a surprise to me. I knew he'd always hinted at asking me out properly one day but I hope he has a great point to prove by doing this. "This is not the right time to do that," The next thing I heard was the door being slammed hard. I turned to see that Gabriel was gone. He had walked out of the house in such a
Crystina's POV"How's she?" Luka asked as I walked into the bedroom we shared at Gabriel's home."Not so sure, she insists on waiting up for Gabriel. She wants to break the mate bond," I was surprised when Paige told us, Gabriel was her mate but I wasn't shocked because I'd been expecting it. I knew something was going on between the two but I just didn't know what it was until she mentioned it. It all makes so much sense now. When I met Samer at Draenie's empire, it didn’t appear normal to me. He told me he would explain on a good day and I held on to his promise. Though, I didn't expect it to be this bad. He had lied about so many things and despite that fact, he wanted Paige to stay here with him. How could that be possible?"I don't believe that's the right thing to do by the way," I feel so sad about the entire situation. "I thought you said Gabriel was an inpatient man," I referred to his words this morning about Gabriel marking Paige immediately after he finds out she's his
Paige's POVAfter waiting for Gabriel for several hours, I didn't see him. I went into the room a few minutes after Crystina did. I laid on the bed, in hopes that he would come, and unknowingly sleep did. I didn't know when I doze off or how long I’d been asleep but at some point, it felt as if someone opened the door and walked into the room.When I turned on my sides, I examined the figure and realized it was Gabriel. Even though his entire appearance was blurry but as he moved closer to me, I could see him probably. His eyes were still pitch black and I almost wish they weren't. I suddenly longed for the warmness in those blue and green eyes but I knew they were gone because of me. His fist was clenched and I could still see the same tightness in his jaws. He looked as though he wanted to murder someone but stopped himself.I sat up from the bed as he walked closer to the foot of the bed. "Where have you been?" I asked as gently as possible. I wasn't about to provoke him before I
