Paige's POV"She's none of your business, Carter," Gabriel growled. He stared at me before turning to his brother.Azel still had his signature glare on as he stared at his brothers. "What's with the attitude?" Carter asked.Gabriel pointed at him. "Why don't you buzz off? You've seen Azel, you've gotten the answer to the question you wanted, so get the fuck out of my pack," He smirked. "Buzz off? I'm not a bee, Gabriel," "Trust me, you're nothing more than a bee that I can crush underneath my shoes without blinking twice," "Why don't you try?" Carter challenged him, moving closer to his brother with a hard glare on his face.I turned to Azel and saw that he was still glaring at them. I pulled at his sleeves so he could look down at me. He did and I raised an eyebrow, I could see he was still frowning."Do they usually bicker like this?" I asked. He snorted. "Bicker? This isn't bickering, Princess. They can actually hurt each other if care isn't taken. They've been at loggerhead
Crystina's POV "How did it go?" I asked as soon as Luka held my hand. Having met with him at the hospital about a second ago, I realised he had been waiting for me. I was the one who called him and asked for us to meet up here instead of bringing him back to the apartment. "Are you fine? You look pale," he noticed. He was really an observant person but got more observant these days. I tried to hide that away from him by using a little makeup but I guess I just wasted my effort in that aspect. "I'm good. I threw up a little while I was at home," "A little?" He raised an eyebrow. I smiled, knowing I'd been caught lying again. "Does my body release pheromones that you sniff out whenever I lie?" "You're changing the topic baby," "Did it work?" "It never works so why will it work now?" I laughed at that. I'm happy with Luka. Genuinely, I am satisfied with where I am right now. All my life, I had nothing but hatred for him. He deserved it though like he always says but recen
Paige's POV It's been three days since I met Gabriel's brother and learned a little bit about their family. After we shared a kiss, we separated. I slept on the bed while he walked into the bathroom to have a shower. By the time he came out, he settled on the couch. I wanted to ask him to come to bed but I stopped myself. I closed my eyes to sleep thinking I would see the handsome man of my dreams but when I woke up, I felt empty. It was an empty dream, filled with nothing that I wanted or needed. I looked at the couch and realized Gabriel was gone. Not even a trace of him was left in the room. For the past three days, that has been the routine. My room was finally ready and I would be moving into the room today, Azel told me he would help me with it and I look forward to spending time with him. As I walked out of Gabriel's room, I peeked into my new room and a smile crept on my face. I was suddenly excited at the thought of having such a nice room to myself. The furniture was newl
Paige's POV "Will she be able to handle the truth about you?" Gabriel didn't say a word. He kept on glaring at Carter and I was sure he was saying something to him through their mind link. Azel even looked pissed, which is something I'd barely seen since I moved here. "What truth?" I asked out of curiosity. Gabriel growled and walked out of the house "When you met Gabriel, did you feel a sudden pull like every other stupid mate does? Did it feel familiar or did it feel new?" "If you think you're making sense, then I'm sorry to let you know that you're not," I told him. His words weren't making any sense to me. In fact, gibberish would have sounded better than his words. "Gabriel has a gift or a curse that makes him travel through dreams. He doesn't just travel through dreams, he also manipulates dreams, changing reality through dreams and color-shadowing them. Let's imagine you and Gabriel met by a riverside in reality. If Gabriel wants it to be on a train, all he has to do i
Paige's POV "Hello Luna, it's good to have you here," Ola spoke as I joined them on the training ground. "I'm not your Luna," I corrected him. "Yet," he completed my statement and I surrendered. "What are you doing here?" I pointed to Azel who was busy talking to other warriors that were standing at the gate. He had told me to stay close while he talked to them. "I came here with Azel but he's busy with those guys," "Alright," I looked around, scared and excited at the same time that I would see Gabriel. He might get mad for me coming here despite saying no. Still, this is my life. If I wanted to train with the warriors, I believe I should be able to. Even though my wolf is almost inexistence, it still doesn't mean I can't train my body. It'll make me stronger not just in mind but in body. Even if I'm not able to shift into my wolf, I would be able to fight in my human form and become stronger too. Unfortunately for me, I have to have the Alpha's permission before I coul
Paige's POV "STOP!" A strangulated noise came from within me as I tried to fight off the hands that were pulling me apart. I choked on my own voice as tears pulled down my face like rainwater. I was dying from being torn apart. I could still see that man's face from that terrible night. He was smirking, laughing, and rejoicing that he had overpowered me. His voice still echoed in my mind, mocking me. His scent suddenly surrounded me and I felt like throwing up. I shook through the core of my nightmare and emerged like a wounded wolf. I was defeated, hurt, and speechless. "Help me," I called out to anyone who could hear. When I looked up, I could see my wolf staring back at me through a mirror. "Help me, Glyds," I begged. She cowered away, hopeless and useless like I was. Tears kept on looking down my face and I sat in the corners of the dungeons, dejected and rejected. The filthy and crude hands didn't stop pulling at me. I was not in the right state of mind and neither was I e
Paige's POV Gabriel helped me to change into my dress and he walked me into my room. He tucked me into bed, kissed my hair, and asked if I was okay. In all honesty, I wasn't. I wanted him to stay with me but I didn't have the mind to make him stay with me. I know after what happened today, I wouldn't blame him if he hated me. I'm just a stupid, weak wolf that didn't deserve any love from anyone. I was so pathetic in front of everyone today. They would definitely be laughing right now at how weak their future Luna was. I hate myself so much. I hate my parents for not protecting me from Lucien and I still hate Lucien with my whole heart. My weakness was getting the best of me. I always thought whenever I meet my mate, it'll be of great help to my wolf but it's now obvious that my wolf was beyond repair. "What are you thinking about?" Gabriel asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I had thought he left my room already but instead, he was sitting by the tale. I shook my head and tur
Paige's POV The next time I opened my eyes, it was several hours later. I checked the table clock beside my bed and saw that it was the morning of the next day already. I couldn't believe that I slept for so long. I stretched out my body before I jumped down from the bed, my feet hitting the cold floor. I was happy for a reason that was known. I was excited to meet Gabriel and ask him when we would start the training. Suddenly, my mind shifted to my parents and I remembered how they gave me a twenty-four hours ultimatum to either give them up or give Gabriel up. Their request wasn't reasonable and that was one of the major reasons why I never gave it a thought. I was angry at the fact that my parents would rather not have a child than accept me and my mate. This is not our fault. Gabriel and I didn't do anything wrong. I picked up my new phone and dialed their numbers. My mom didn't pick up my calls but my dad did. "Daddy," I pulled at my fingers as I anticipated his next words.
