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
Paige’s POVMy eyes fluttered open and I took in my surroundings. It was morning already and I was in bed. I noticed almost immediately that I wasn't alone. My legs were tangled with that of another person while my head was on someone's chest. His arms were around my back while his other hand was in my hair.I managed to lift my head and saw it was Gabriel. Immediately, I panicked. I thrashed in his arms, trying to break free from his strong holed but he was stronger, he didn't want me to."Let me go," I screamed, holding his hand tightly. He removed his hand from my hair and untangled our legs but he still pinned me down to the bed.Our eyes met and I saw he was smiling. I blinked twice, thinking I was dreaming again. "Stop smiling like that, you look like a creep," I mumbled under my breath. He laughed. In fact, his smile made my heart race and I almost smiled back at him but I forced myself not to."Let me go, Gabriel," I commanded again. "It's too early. Let's sleep in till noon
Gabriel's POV"Please baby, stay," I was at my lowest when I made that request. I know I'd acted stubborn at first, insisting I didn't need a mate but how was I supposed to throw her away after meeting her? How am I supposed to let her go when she's already a part of me? It would kill me if I did.I didn't have the intention of coming back after I found out she had dated Martin. I would've killed someone but all I'd managed to do ever since I broke free from my father was tame my beast, and chain my demons, and heavens knew I was about to lose it. When Azel stopped me from shifting, a chain broke and I almost killed him.He told me to face it and go back to Paige rather than hide away in the forest, trying to fix things all by myself. "She's your mate, Gabriel. Go back to her. If you shift in this state, you'll kill someone. Go home!" He commanded.One thing my wolf hates, one thing he has been taught was never to receive a command from anybody. "Run, Azel. Run!" I commanded. Azel
Paige's POVGabriel kissed me! He kissed me and it didn't seem like it was the first time we would be sharing a kiss. I'd dreamt about him kissing me last night but it felt so real now that we shared a kiss. I had shamelessly caressed his neck, his shoulder, and his arm when he kissed me. His lips moving against mine in perfect synchronization, his tongue melting in my mouth almost drove me crazy. His touch intoxicated me and I almost dropped to my knees if not for his strong hold on me. I don't even know what came over me and made me kiss him back. He soon lifted me in his arms, his hand fondling my petite ass. His hand slipped into the back of my dress and he caressed my back. I could feel the warmth of his fingers against my skin and it felt so good that I moaned. We stopped kissing at some point and he made me slide down till my feet hit the ground. "Don't bother trying to leave because I would find you, haul your ass back here whether you like it or not," He threatened. I wa
Gabriel's POV"Have you given my request a thought, Alpha Luka?" I inquired. It was evening and we were walking into my training grounds. I'd met up with Luka at the hospital and he asked if we could take a walk together to the training ground so he could say goodbye to some of my warriors that he'd been training with. I couldn't say no to his request. I heard about Luka when I was fighting to get out of my messed up life. I heard about a boy who took over his father's pack at such a young age, saddled its responsibility on his tiny shoulder, and still didn't break. I imagined how life would've been horrible to him despite being an orphan nursing the pain of losing both parents, not having a sibling to talk to, and still being responsible for his pack and I just couldn't help being amazed by his strength, his commitment, and his efforts. He took his pack from an ordinary park in the south to the largest one out there, it's not an easy effort and I respect him a lot. Despite the age
