Gabriel's POV"Good morning, commander," Simon, also known as large feet, stood straight, his hands behind his back and his face forward as I walked into the changing room that was available for them. I hadn't the intention of confronting him, I'd been looking for Azel around the pack to give him an assignment. When I walked into the training ground, I was told Azel was last seen in the changing room, so I came here. "Large Feet…" I stopped myself from saying whatever it was that came to my head because, at the same time, I remembered the promise I made to someone. I'd promised Paige that I wouldn't punish anyone for what happened and I would love to hold on to that. That way, she can trust me wholeheartedly. If I start betraying her at this early stage of our relationship, it'll definitely damage the days coming. I might not have wanted Paige at first but now, I don't think I can breathe without her. She was soundly sleeping before I left home this morning and even though I didn't
Gabriel's POVI'm still shocked at how he knew that Carter and I are siblings but I'm more petrified at their audacity to walk into my pack and act as if he own this place. I don't know much about this man and neither have I heard about him. "What business do you have with Carter?" Azel interrupted.The man shrugged. "He owes me something and instead of paying back, the fucker ran and hid here. I need Carter and that's all I ask. If you refuse to give him to me, I wouldn't have any other choice than to use force to gain entrance into your pack and get rid of everything," "Why don't you try? Succeed in going through me first and let's see if you have the guts to do that" I smirked, taunting him.He growled and charged at me. I didn't wait for him to get to me before I grabbed him by the neck and hit him squarely in the stomach. Immediately, a fight broke out. I saw many other wolves running towards us and I heard the noise of war from behind me. My warriors were ready as well, fighti
Paige's POVWhen I dragged Gabriel away from there, I was still shaken by the state in which his body was. He was beyond recognition. It shook me to the core. I was scared for him. There was no way I could find out if he was wounded behind all those blood. I couldn't look away from him while he yelled at Carter and at the same time, I wanted to. When I couldn't take it anymore, I pulled him away from there.Since I'd come here, I always doubted if those rumors about Gabriel were real. He was so reasonable and careful with me. He never snapped, yelled, or break things whenever he was with me and that was what created that doubt but seeing him in this state made me realize those rumors might have been true to an extent. He was doing all it takes to protect those he loved. Also, one thing was certain, he wasn't the mad son of the mad King. He's just a normal guy. While he stayed with me yesterday till I fell asleep, it felt surreal and when I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, I
Paige's POVWith his lips pressed against mine, I felt hot. He kissed my senses out of the window and I threw my hands around his neck. I could feel the water trickling down his body to mine. He was wet and at the same time hot. I was flushed against him and I couldn't think about anything. Every single thought of mine has been thrown out of my brain. For a minute, I thought we were the only people in that world. I could see fireworks exploding in bright beautiful colours and at the same time, butterflies fluttered in my stomach. He bit down gently on my lower lips and I opened my mouth for him. When he flicked my lips with his tongue, I shuddered but when his tongue brushed against mine, I almost crumbled to my knee. His hands were wrapped around my waist in a tight hold as he kissed me raw and real. It was so full of love. I could feel every emotion through the kiss. I wanted to control myself and believe it wasn't real, whatever I was feeling through the kiss wasn't real but at th
Gabriel's POVLast night, Paige bared her neck to me so I could mark her and complete the matebond but I didn't. At first, I panicked. I'd barely known her, I want to know her very well before going to that level with her. I want to know her outside the matebond, I want to build a relationship that is beyond just being a mate. Moreover, we were both controlled by our emotions last night. I didn't want to do something on impulse and make her regret it later. She'd barely opened up to me and I don't want to fuck it up yet. She's mine forever and there's no way I would rush things and make her feel bad. I'm supposed to always make her feel good. What if I mark her and she wakes up and hates me for it? I couldn't take the risk. If she wants me to mark her, I'll ask for her permission and do as she wants. Other than that, I wouldn't be stupid enough to hurt my woman. The sun streamed in through the window and I was grateful we had modeled the room in such a way that the reflection of the
Paige's POVWhen we finally came out of the room, it was past midday. Well, the shower took longer than expected and we spent two hours cooped up in the four walls of my bathroom while he banged the fucking life out of me. My toes still curl at the thoughts of him filling me up. A smile lingers on my lips and my heart softens like a cellophane paper. I can still feel his taste on my tongue and his touches on my body.I needed more, it was as if I became addicted to Gabriel all of a sudden. I don't think I can get enough of those kisses and his touches and the way my body shook with tremors every time he filled me up to the brim. I couldn't control my screams. At some point, I had to cover my mouth with my palm but Gabriel removed my hand and told me it was okay. I could scream all I wanted, he loved it that way. Quickly, he replaced my hands with his lips. Right there in the bathtub, he took me thrice while I molded my body against his, my tiny legs wrapped around his body and his h
Paige's POVAfter having our breakfast by evening, we settled into the living room and put on the TV. "Do you think we should play some video games instead?" Gabriel asked. I shook my head.I was waiting for him to sit beside me so I could cuddle with him. His body felt warm and I wanted more of his warmth. I so longed for him beside me that I wanted to cry. Whatever was happening to me is something that I don't understand but now, I don't think I can take a step away from this man."I don't know how to play any video games," His eyes widened in surprise. Laughter kissed my lips but I held it in. I was actually surprised to see him surprised. "Well, that makes two of us," He dropped the game console, and the laughter I'd been holding dropped out of my mouth. He sat beside me and watched as I laughed, a smile dancing on his lips."Why did you ask me to play a game with you when you didn't know how to play yourself?" He shrugged. "I don't know, I just thought you would know how to a
Paige's POV"Do you really want to know the answer to that?" I asked him. He stared at me, his eyebrows furrowed. I knew he was surprised by my question but I believed at the same time that he needed to be mentally prepared for the truth. "I think so. If you want to tell me, then I want to know," I nodded. I sat up, leaning away from his body and into the sofa so we could sit opposite each other. We stared at ourselves for a while before I looked away. "Originally, I'm from Lucien's pack," I said, holding my breath."You're a Northerner," he said, in disbelief. I nodded."Yes, I'm a Northerner. According to my parents, they said my dad was a Beta to your dad at some point before we had to leave. I don't know how true that is anyway," He appeared to be thinking about something. "I know every Beta that my dad had because I had to work with them at some point. What's your family name?" "We go by Drews now but previously, we were called Rowards" Gabriel shook his head. "That doesn
