My jaw twitched and I fisted my hands on the fur coat that Gabriel had placed over my shoulder.“It's best if we don't talk about it.”I heaved a slow sigh,”I'm sorry if my question hurt you in any way.I shouldn't have meddled.”Gabriel said in a remorseful voice but I didn't say anything.“I will go back inside,”I turned to look at Gabriel and he nodded with a smile,”Thank you for the jacket.”I removed it carefully then handed him the jacket.I turned around and walked to the mansion without looking back at him.However,I could feel his eyes on my back.*****I leaned on the door and heaved a deep sigh,the door was cold against my skin and I couldn't help but shiver slightly.With a heavy heart and wandering mind,I changed into pajamas and crawled under the blankets.I felt so exhausted from the day's activity but my mind was still awake.I couldn't help it but think of my poor Ariana.Her sad voice rang in

~Amanda~Our car pulled through the gates of BLUE BELL school after a few minutes' drive.There were many cars in the parking lot and I could see kids with both parents laughing, joking and talking like the happy family that I wished to have someday.My heart ached at the thought of it but I took a deep breath to calm down.I turned to Aria and she flashed me a smile.“I will do it,”Gabriel said when I was about to open the door.He unbuckled the seatbelts then got out of the car and walked to the other side.“Thank you,”I said with a smile when we got out of the car.“Come here,I will carry you.”Ariana giggled when Gabriel picked her from the ground and carried her in his arms.“I thought you're a big girl.''I joked and we both laughed.I could tell that my daughter was enjoying being in Gabriel's arms and my lips curved into a smile.Gabriel and I asked around where we were supposed to go and the security guard was kind enough to give us directions to the school event hall.I couldn't he

~Amanda~Gabriel looked around as though he wasn't sure if he was the one that I was talking to and my lips curved into a smile.I know he wasn't expecting it and I couldn't blame him for reacting that way.He slowly walked to us and wrapped his strong hands around us, patting our backs.I felt Aria giggled and I could tell that she enjoyed it so much.For some unknown reason,we felt protected from everything.I closed my eyes and got lost in the moment just this once.“I'm doing this for Aria,”That's what I told myself.After staying in the embrace for a couple minutes,we pulled away .“Mommy,why are you crying?”Aria asked with creased eyebrows and I blinked, that's when I felt the wetness on my long eyelashes.“I'm happy because you're making mommy proud.”I joked and she smiled,the worry on her face vanished and it was now replaced by happiness.I wiped tears from my eyes.“

~Amanda~Without a second thought,I rushed to the sides of my daughter.“Mommy,I can't breathe.”She said and I could see that she was trying her best to remain conscious.“Please don't say that Aria,try to breathe.Mommy is right here with you,I won't allow anything to happen to you.”I pleaded.“What's wrong with her?”Gabriel inquired,”She's having an asthma attack.I need an inhaler, it's in the car in my purse.”I told Gabriel.He took Aria in his arms and rushed to the parking lot.Other kids stopped playing as they were worried about Aria.I could see fear and worry written all over their faces.I didn't have time to explain to them what was going on.I followed behind Gabriel.His strides were long and rushed,I had to run to catch up with him.Gabriel opened the door of his Jeep and placed Aria on the chair.“Aria,open your eyes.”I heard Gabriel tell my daughter and his voice was shaky.I poured all the c

~Amanda~“My Dad was asthmatic too,”I could feel my heart thumping wildly against my ribcage and for a split second,I was afraid that it would escape from my chest. “It makes sense,”Gabriel nodded,”It's genetic.”He glanced at me then looked back at the road.May Dad's soul rest in peace,I used him as an escape.It was quiet for a while inside the car.”Aria is so lucky to have you as a mother.”Gabriel and I locked eyes through the rearview mirror and he smiled at me.“Why are you saying that?”The questions slipped out of my lips without expecting it.“It’s because she has a very caring mother.”I was quiet for a while because I didn't know how to respond to his compliment.The truth is that I cared about my daughter more than anything else in this world.It's like my world around her…“I always knew that you'll make a good mother,Amanda.I remember how much you

~Amanda~I looked at the lady's hand tightly wrapped around Gab's arm and for some inexplicable reason,my heart ached inside my chest.The sight of it reminded me of some years back.The lady's hand was exactly where mine used to be and the smile on her lips was broad.There is no doubt that she was enjoying Gabriel's company and obviously happy to be around him.Damn it!I didn't know what the hell was happening to me and I hated the fact that my heart was behaving in such a stupid manner.I didn't have any idea if it was pain or relief because it was hard for me to wrap my head around the strange feeling.I shifted my eyes from the lady's hand to Gabriel's face.He seemed so nervous and he wasn't…that happy.Why was he behaving that way?I thought that he was supposed to be happy because he was going to marry the love of his life soon.He must be happy that he was finally going to fulfil his dreams even if…it wasn

~Gabriel~We pulled off from the kiss when someone coughed and we both turned to check who it was and that's when we found out that it was Amanda.Damn it!I didn't know how it happened.It's Alicia who kissed me and before I could react to her kiss,Amanda caught us.I was speechless,I didn't know what to tell Amanda or how to explain to her that Alicia was the one who kissed.I’m sure that…she won't understand even if I explained a thousand and one times.Deep down,I felt the need to explain to her but I didn't know how to…“Goodnight,”She flashed us a smile then turned around and walked to her room.I stared at the door blankly.“Gabriel,are you okay?”My mind jolted back to the present when Alicia pulled my hand and I turned to look at her, forcing a smile on my lips so that she wouldn't read in between the lines.I wanted to tell her the damn truth! That I was not okay! However,I chose t

Chapter 024~Amanda~I took a sharp breath when Gabriel held onto my hand.I looked at his hand tightly wrapped around my wrist then raised my head to look at him.Even though I didn't want to accept the damn truth,I felt some type of way as his hand held my bare skin and I hated every single feeling of it.I'm not supposed to feel that way because he is someone else's and my sibling too.Siblings are not supposed to have any kind of feelings for each other, right?And what the hell was he doing here late in the night?He should be with the love of his life,having some fun.I pulled my hand from his tight grip when I recalled bumping into them kissing passionately.For some unknown reason,my heart ached.I couldn't imagine Gabriel doing what he used to do to me to someone else.He just to be so gentle on me whenever we made love and he would ask if I was comfortable.Sometimes,he was rough an

~Amanda~I was expecting any question from Alicia but…I wasn't expecting her to ask me about such personal questions.I heaved a deep sigh and my lips curved into a smile.I realised that Gab looked so worried, perhaps he pitied me too.“About my daughter's…” We were distracted by the ringtone of my phone which was laying on the table.I swear! However, calling is heaven sent!I will buy him/her a cup of coffee or take him to dinner if he wants and all the bills will be on me.I heaved a sigh which I had no idea that I have been holding all this while and flipped my cellphone to check who was my knight in shining armour.“Andrew!”I read the caller ID then raised my head to look at the couple who sat directly opposite from me,”Please excuse me.I need to pick this because it's about work.”I explained and they both nodded.I swiped to receive the phone,”Good morning Amanda.Are you coming to work today?You have an important meeting which needs your attention an

AMANDA Oh heavens!It was finally happening!He finally popped the question!I nodded my head almost immediately,”Yes, Gabriel.I will marry you!”The tension on his face faded away and it was now replaced with a big smile.He heaved a deep sigh.I didn't know he was that nervous while asking the question.Gabriel picked the ring and grabbed my hand then slowly slid the engagement ring on the middle finger of my left hand.The ring felt cold against my finger and it fitted perfectly,as though it was made just for me.Gabriel stood up and wiped tears from my eyes, that's when I realised that I was shading tears of joy.“I can't wait to call you wifey…”He chuckled then leaned and kissed me.“Mine!”He said possessively in my head as he kissed me so deep,”I can't wait to be your wife.”I told him through the mind link and he groaned in response.We continued to kiss so passionately.Gabriel hoisted me and I wrapped my legs around his waist so tightly.He gave my arse a gentle squeeze and I let ou

~Amanda~THREE WEEKS LATER Gabriel recovered from the poison and now he is doing alright.He is back to training to get back his strength because the poison weakened his immune system.I have been training too so that in case the enemies attack the pack,I will be able to protect our daughter and future kids.I haven't gone to the company for the past three weeks.Andrew has been in charge of everything and he always informed me how was running in my absence.I have to say that I'm grateful for having Andrew as a working partner because he is amazing to work with.Andrew has closed a couple of deals in my absence and handled the company so well.I’m not that surprised because his parents were entrepreneurs too.Apart from having shares in our company,Andrew owns other businesses which were left under his name by his parents.I was surprised when Andrew visited Crescent Moon to check on Gabriel and wished him a quick recovery.As far as I could remember,the two didn't get along that well.I

Chapter 103~Gabriel~”“For what?”She asked in confusion,”For everything.”The frown on her face only deepened when she heard my words.“I know I owe you an apology because Amanda went through alot in the past because of me.”I paused and took a deep breath.“I can't help it but feel guilty because you're treating me with love despite knowing the truth.''I bowed my head once again.I couldn't remember when was the last time I felt this way in my life.I felt as though I had committed an unforgiving crime.I wanted Amanda's mother,I mean our mother, to know that I was really sorry about what happened between Amanda and I in the past.“I swear I didn't have any idea that Amanda was pregnant when we parted ways in such a heartbreaking way back in campus.I tried looking for her so that I could explain everything to her but all my efforts to search for Amanda was in vain.I searched the whole of

~Amanda~Gabriel pulled back and pretended as though he didn't want to kiss me in the first place.I almost groaned but looking at our daughter's cute innocent face made my lips curve into a smile.“Mommy!”Our daughter screamed at the top of her voice and I could feel the longing in her voice.She ran to us and jumped on the bed, giggling.“Careful dear,”I whispered as we hugged so tightly.My mother stared at us with a smile, Gabriel as well.“Did you miss mommy?”I asked my daughter after pulling off from the tight embrace and she nodded with a pout.“Yes,you lied that you'll come back.”I swallowed when I heard my daughter's words,”Mommy is so sorry for lying to you, okay? It's just that,I got a little busy.”I brushed hair strands from her face and tucked it behind her ear.“Grandma told me that you're taking care of uncle Gabriel because he got hurt,”She turned to look at Gabriel and I could see worry

~Amanda~“Ga…Gabriel,”I stuttered, afraid that I might be dreaming.The corner of his lips curved into a smile.The smile that I have been craving to see on his face so bad.Gabriel wiped tears from my eyes and that is when I realised that I was crying.Damn it!Only the heavens knows how much I had missed his touches that sent a shiver down my spine.My eyes shuttered effortlessly and I leaned in to feel more of his touch.Just this once,I decided to let all my emotions get the better of me and more tears streamed down my cheeks.Gabriel growled and that made me open my eyes,”I don't like to see you crying,”He said and I could feel the annoyance in his voice.“But…I can't help it.”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for him to hear what I had just said.“I was so scared, Gabriel.”I confessed how I was feeling deep inside me.“When you dropped on the ground in the study room.I was so scared that I was going t

~Amanda~Leon heaved a deep sigh then shook his head.The little hope that I had on my way to the hospital flew through the window.“The doctors are checking up on him right now.”He explained to me,”What about you take a little break?I will watch over him.”I told Leon and I could see conflict in his eyes.“Are you sure you're going to be alright? Gabriel will kill me in case something happens to you.”I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I heard his words.“You're worrying too much,Leon.I think it will be good if you change,”I nodded to his blood stained clothes.“That's right,”He chuckled,”Call me in case of anything, okay?”He told me and I nodded.I could tell that Leon was really worried about Gabriel and I was glad to know that he had such a caring friend.The door clicked open and doctors walked out of the room,”How is he?”I asked one of them.“His body is responding r

~Amanda~Slowly,I turned around to find my mother standing at the door with a surprise look on her face.She looked at the sleeping Gabriel on the hospital bed then turned to look at me.“Is it true?”She asked and I could see so many unasked questions in her eyes.Taking a deep breath,I nodded hesitantly.“Ye…yes.”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for my mother to hear what I had just said.“How?”She asked as confusion took over her features.”As far as I remember,you told us that you didn't know about Ariana's father because it was a one night stand and you never saw the man ever again since he was gone when you woke up.”I took a sharp breath when I heard my mother's words.I looked away, feeling guilty for lying to her all this time.“Can we talk about it somewhere else?I think this is not the right place.”My mother nodded to my words.I turned to look at Gabriel one last time t

~Amanda~I went on my knees then cradled Gabriel's face in my palms,”Gabriel, Gabriel.”I called, shaking his head slightly as though doing so would make him come to his senses.“Gabriel please open your eyes.You can't do this to me.You can't leave me.Please open your eyes…''I pleaded,tears streaming down my cheeks like a waterfall.“Gabriel…”I screamed helplessly,hugging him so tightly to my chest.The door to the study room opened and the doctors walked in with a bed, accompanied by Alpha,Leon and the beta and they looked so worried.“Please excuse us Ma'am.”The doctors looked at me as I continued to hold Gabriel in my arms so tightly, sobbing.“He needs medical attention right away because he was stabbed by a poisonous dagger in the battlefield.”Leon crouched to my level and carefully pulled me so that I could let Gabriel go.I fought Leon but he held me so tightly.I knew there was no point in fighting him anymore because my strength was nothing compared to his.I gave up fighting an

~Amanda~“Gabriel,your mother,sister and niece to the hideout.Make sure they are all safe before joining the warriors in the battlefield.”Alpha said, pushing back the chair and standing up immediately.Before he could turn around and walk away,my mother grabbed his hand and he stopped.“Jacob,”My mother called in an emotional voice and I could see tears in her eyes.I could feel the fear in her voice too.She was afraid to lose her mate.I saw conflict in Jacobs' eyes as he looked at my mother,his eyes so gentle as though everything had disappeared and my mother was the only thing that existed at the moment.“I promise you that I will return my love.”He leaned and pecked my mother on the lips.He tried to pull away his hand from my mother's grip but she clung onto it so tightly.“I don't want to lose you.I can't take it.I want to let you go Jacob because there is danger out there.Please don't go.Please don't leave I beg you…”She pleaded.The tears that my mother was holding finally str
