Alana (POV)I woke up took a shower and changed into fresh clean clothes. I found a note on a table in the living area from Gabe. He explained about the high-tech alarm system he has and that he had no choice about not missing an important meeting with a new client. I decided to check out the kitchen and plan to surprise Gabe with a home-cooked meal. It was the least I could do with all he has done for me. The food in the freezer was so full of meat. Not much more than meat. The main fridge looks like it was recently stalked with fresh food like vegetables, fruits, milk, and other things for meals. I looked in the pantry and saw bread, peanut butter cereal, and even sweet things. It all looks like it was just bought. I took some meat out of the freezer and a couple of potatoes along with other things for a salad and set out to cook a nice dinner for Gabe and me.Later I heard the front door open as I was setting the table. I heard keys being set down in a bowl on the table near the fr
Gabriel (POV)I meant every word. She is my mate. I will wait for her however long it takes. Since she hit her head during the crash after the kidnapping. She believes the dragon she saw was all in her head, that she had imagined it all. Of course, one day when the trust is built up between us, I will need to clarify the fact she had indeed seen a dragon and that it was me. I will need to tell her about my brothers and me and how we have come from a dying world to begin a new life to save our species. But now is not the time.I ate all the meat which I appreciated her cooking with seasonings, but how could I tell her I usually eat meat raw? She would think it strange. The only time I ate cooked meat was at business luncheons or dinners out. At home it is usually raw. Until I can let her know the truth, I will have to get used to the meat being cooked.I helped her clear the dishes and clean things up even though she kept insisting she could do it. We took our drinks into the living ro
Alana (POVI woke up feeling satisfied. Being in Gabe’s arms made me feel safe and secure. I snuggled closer against him and smiled. Making love with him was incredible. It was nothing like I have ever experienced. Not only did I feel my pleasure, but it was also as if I could feel his as well. Then when we reached our climax…Oh my god, it was like nothing I ever felt. Like I could feel his along with mine. I never screamed in pleasure before in my life. Then when he kept hitting my g-spot…Wow, Is this man really my bonded mate? He is so handsome, kind, and considerate. He keeps calling me his mate and I feel butterflies inside whenever I think about his touching me. He keeps promising to keep me and my baby safe. It takes someone special that accepts another man’s baby like this. Even if that other man is crazy.I feel Gabe’s arms tighten around me and kiss my forehead. “Are you feeling hungry?” He spoke against my hair.“Yeah, I actually am.” I stretched against him, “Seems I worke
Gabriel (POV)“Show me your back,” she demands of me. How can I show her something that has no marks of bullets whatsoever? The moment the first shot rang out I had to shield her, bringing my dragon scales out to repel any bullets away from Alana. She is already my mate completely, but will she be able to handle the truth about me? Will she run? Will she accept me?I took off my jacket and turned around. I felt her fingers at the holes in the shirt I still wore. Her fingers touched my skin. “How?” She whispered.I turned around to look at her. Now would be the time to tell her the truth about me.“I need you to sit down and I will explain everything. But promise me to have an open mind and what I tell you cannot be told to anyone.” I looked her deep in the eyes, “I need to know I can trust you, Alana.”She nodded and she let me guide her to the sofa and sat down. I stayed standing and began to pace in front of her.“Are you someone who believes in aliens?” I began with the question.“
Alana (POV)Gabe turned out to be a good cook. Of course, he had a big slab of raw beef. But he made a great ham and cheese omelet and toast with tea. Since I became pregnant, I stopped drinking coffee. When he told me who, and what he was, I was scared and ran to the bedroom locking the door. I threw myself across the bed curling into a ball and cried like a baby. Of course, I blame my hormones for that. But I also did a lot of thinking and thought about how he never hurt me, he only protected me and even saved my life more than once. And really if he and his brothers wanted to conquer Earth, they could have done that years ago when they first landed.Thinking about it now, it does seem as if they only want to live a normal life. Then I pushed and searched his feelings through the bond and found what he said was the truth. But he held back. So, I made my decision but before I gave it, I wanted him to trust me enough to tell me everything. So, I unlocked the door and walked out, and I
Gabriel (POV) I didn’t want to leave for the office. But it seems an emergency meeting was called, and I had to leave. As the meeting was halfway through and with a lot of arguments, I begin to have an uneasy feeling deep down. The later it got the worse the feeling became. It became so uncomfortable I knew something was wrong and I knew it was the bond between my mate and me. I was suddenly feeling her fear and knew without a doubt she needed me and now. “Excuse me, gentlemen,” I begin. “We need to continue this at a later date.” I didn’t wait for an answer, I just stood up left the conference room, and headed toward the stairs. There was no way I could get to her in time taking the car, so I had no choice but to turn and fly. As I climbed the stairs to the roof of the building the feeling began to feel more urgent, so I hurried up the last flight of stairs. I burst through the door on the roof and transformed quickly into my dragon form shredding my suit and shoes to pieces. My
Gabriel (POV)"Come on you can do this," I said to Alana as she pushed hard on a contraction. "I'm tired," She cried leaning back against my arms and panting.I kiss her forehead and murmur in her ear, “I know you are, baby, but you are strong, you are a Spencer. This is our child. I love you. Now on the next contraction do as the doctor says and give it a big push.”Doctor Joyce Ramond is from what I hear the best OBGYN there is. I would only want the best for my mate. She lifts her head and smiles. “The baby’s head is already through. That was the hard part. One more strong push and the little one should be out.” She looked at Alana. “On the next contraction give it all you got.”Alana nods and at that moment begins to grunt and push with all her might.“That’s it, baby, you are almost there,” I say as I watch as the baby comes rolling out. “It’s a girl.” I almost shout as our daughter is born. “She is beautiful just like her mother.”Alana lays back down panting and I kiss her gen
Property Damage- Book Two‘You’re Fired!’I keep hearing those words over and over again in my mind. I still can’t believe I got fired for that little accident. I mean I didn’t mean to spill the hot coffee on the lap of an important client.So, now I am back at job-hunting, and I have only enough in the bank for my half of the electricity bill. So, my auto insurance was canceled on me. Yet, I need to keep driving to different job interviews. The only thing is, I never get callbacks.Today, I was running a little late for another job interview. I noticed an older style in pristine condition, a red mustang beside me in the other lane. What I noticed most is the driver. A handsome man with dark hair in a business suit. When he looked over at me, I smiled at him. He gave me a slight nod and turned his blinker on to enter my lane. I purposely slowed my car just enough to let him go in front of me. My good deed for the day. I smile thinking of his handsome face. If only I hadn't been late,
‘Epilogue’ Chase A few days later I finally sat down at my computer with my mate on my lap. I thought it was time I finally introduce her to my brothers and their mates. “You actually marked her?” Gabe asked looking a little concerned. “You know why we didn’t plan to mark them.” “I know but she needed healing and it worked. There were no side effects.” I said as my arm tightened around my mate. “What side effects?” She asked panicking. “Nothing, just we didn’t know how the venom will react to humans.” “And you took the chance with me?” Her voice went up an octave. “I had faith and besides as my mate the venom we share, you will now live as long as we do,” I said to reassure her. “What?” Alana gasped. “What do you mean?” Kellie asked. “Way to go Chase.” Said, Mitch. “They need to know. You know it wouldn’t be fair to them as we stay young as they get older. I don’t know about you, but I want my mate around as long as I am around.” “And just how long is that? My love?” Brian
Brianna (POV)After we stripped each other naked. He lifts me and puts me on the bed. “Are you sure, you are well enough for this?” He asked concern in his eyes.“Yes, I am sure. I want you.” I said clinging to his neck and kissing his face.“There is a way I can heal you faster.” He said breathlessly as I continue to torcher him by grabbing his hard cock in my hand.“How?” I said looking at him.He grinned, “I can mark you. My teeth have a venom that can heal you and you as my mate can never become sick or hurt again.”“Really? Have the other mates been marked?”He shakes his head, “I have no idea. Probably not. But I am sure in time my brothers will.”I smile. “Then mark me, my love. Make me forever yours.”He smiles as he kisses me passionately invading my mouth with his tongue and tasting his smokey flavor. He moves to my cheeks, then down the left side of my neck where my shoulder meets, and he kisses on the throbbing pulse there. The spot I assume he will place his mark. He begi
Chase (POV)I drive to the address and see Brianna’s car parked next to an empty warehouse. I can’t help but wonder how Ben got Bri to come here alone. I felt my dragon getting riled up. He wanted to save his mate as much as I do.I park next to Brianna’s car and got out of my SUV. I walk to the open and very empty building. “Hello? Ben?” I say as my voice echoes around the empty place.“Nice of you to come.” His voice echoes back around the building.“Where is she?” I growled. “I know she’s here.”“Of course, she is. But you won’t be around to see her.”At that moment someone snuck up behind me but with superior hearing, I heard him in time to turn around and duck before he could hit me. I grabbed his arm, and he dropped the hammer that he tried to hit me with.As I held the man’s arm I shout, “Is that your plan? To kill me and get me out of the way? Do you think she will want you?” I was angry now and my dragon was close to the surface. “I will warn you; you won’t like what happens
Brianna (POV)I decided to check for messages on my new phone that Chase picked up for me and reactivated my same number. I appreciated that gesture as my other phone was destroyed the other day. I find I had a lot of text messages and as I was going through the messages a new one popped up. It was from an unknown number. I read it and gasped in surprise.Bri, meet me at this address at 10:00 am or you will never see that boyfriend of yours again. I know where he works and I have a guy keeping watch on him. So, NO funny business.B.I know who B is and with all that has happened, I know he meant what he said. I sucked in a shaky breath and texted back.I will be there. Just don’t hurt him.I input the address on my phone GPS and thought to myself, that it was a good thing I had not taken my pain meds. The pain was less today so I was putting it off for when I absolutely needed it. I slowly climbed out of the bed and tested my legs as I stood. So, far, so, good. Just a slight dizziness
Chase (POV)“She knows.”“She what?” Gailan says frowning.“Are you serious?” Mitchell all smiles.“It’s about time.” Says Gabriel after I tell my brothers that my mate knows about us.“I agree with Gabe.” Says Lucas.“We had a long talk and I found out some interesting things about her.” I was in my study on my desktop on skype with my brothers. “One I found out she had of all things as a little girl, a red stuffed dragon that was her favorite toy.”“That is so ironic.” Says Lucas, “It is like somehow she knew about you even before meeting you.”“I know. And she used to play that the dragon was the good guy and a secret prince to save her as the princess in danger. Tell me if that is not a coincidence or what?”“Sounds like you were not the only one with the gift,” Mitchell says with a wink.“So how did she handle the news?” Gabe asked.“Better than I expected. It helped that she believes that earth isn’t the only planet with life on it. It also helped that she was watching a movie a
Brianna (POV)I was sitting up watching something on TV when Chase walked in. He smiled at me when he saw me sitting up.“How are you feeling, babe?” He asked me kissing me on top of my head.“Still sore. But I can at least sit up now without help.”He walked around the bed to the other side sat down and took off his shoes and socks before sitting next to me. “What are you watching?”I looked at the TV, saw a flying dragon, and realized I had no idea. I was only watching just to have something to do. I paused it to check the name. “Dragon heart. It’s on Netflix.” I said out loud and pushed play.“You like dragons?” He asked watching the movie with me.“I have seen this movie years ago.” I begin, Then I laughed at a memory. “I used to pretend I was a princess in a castle and imagined a beautiful red dragon turning into a handsome prince that would rescue me from a bad knight.”He smiled but didn’t laugh. As I watched him, I noticed something strange about his expression. I frowned at h
Chase (POV)I couldn’t tell her that someone broke into her apartment and wracked the place. While I was there gathering her cat and the things it will need. I also packed a couple of suitcases with clothes, makeup, and other toiletries she will need and called a locksmith to come and change out her locks.I plan to call a cleaning service later and have her place cleaned up for her. It didn’t seem like anything was stolen just destroyed. I feel as if it was another warning to me. When she is more healed, I will speak to her and insist she stay with me until I take care of Benjamin Walker. With her here, I can protect her. Keep her safe. My security is one of the best there is.I will need to program the place with Brianna’s DNA, so she has access to get into the place. No one is going to harm my mate. Not while I am alive.“So, this little device pokes my finger and adds my DNA to your security system?” My mate asks me later that evening.“Yeah, I and my brother Gailan designed the s
Brianna (POV)He loves me. And all my fears are no longer there. This feels right. He feels right. Chase is my soulmate. I felt it for a very long time, but it took me all this time to admit I love him. I took a deep breath smiling when that breath hurt, and I groaned in pain. Laying here the shot the doctor gave me still had me feeling drowsy and I closed my eyes sighing softly with a smile on my lips.There’s a heavy something across my stomach as I wake up. I turn my head to see Chase lying next to me smiling. I smile back as I say, “Hi.”“Hi.” He responds. He lifts his hand from across my stomach and strokes a finger down my face. “Are you hungry? I ordered soup for you.”“Mm, what kind?”“Potato with bacon pieces and cheddar cheese. With dinner rolls.”“You know how to spoil a girl.” I broaden my smile.“Only my girl, darling. Only my girl.” He picks up my hand and kisses it.“Yeah, I am pretty hungry. I forgot to eat lunch today.”He kissed my forehead and said as he walked towa
Chase (POV)I was awake when Brianna leaned over me and whispered, “I do love you.” Then lightly kissed me before settling to sleep.I have been on cloud nine ever since. I will do all I can to ensure her happiness. And I promised myself I would show her in all I do how much I love her. As my mate, I am hers for life. I just have to figure a way to get Ben to stop harassing my mate.Then I have to come clean about what I am and what she is to me. I just hope she loves me enough to accept me.After breakfast, I took her to where her car was towed to and saw that it looked like new again. The detailers did a wonderful job cleaning off all the paint. Brianna was very pleased with the work.After paying the cost of the bill. She was about to get into her car as I walked behind her. She turned and smiled at me.“Are you sure you should be going to work today?” I asked.“I can’t let him scare me. I need to feel normal. And besides…” She kisses me. “I have you to call on for protection.”“I
