~Amanda~The wolf stopped in its tracks and looked at me,as though trying to speak to me through its eyes.I could see hurt in those grey eyes.I took a deep breath,”Ja-Jared.”I stuttered,not sure if it would hear me because it was my first time talking to a wolf.It flipped its ear,I guess that was a good sign.My lips curved into a smile because I found it cute.I stepped forward, feeling nervous.I didn't want Jared to think that I was afraid of him.I raised my trembling hand and touched Jared on his face and he closed his eyes, leaning in for more of my touches and I couldn't help it but smile.“I think he likes your touch,”I heard Gabriel's voice in my head and I almost jumped.“You like it?”I asked Jared and he moved his tail,I guess that was a “yes”.Jared opened his eyes and looked at me,”Oops,I forgot to introduce myself to you.”I laughed lightly.“My name is Amanda.”I shrugged nonchalantly and Jared flipped his ears.He rubbed his head on my han
~Amanda~I held onto the helm of my dress, stopping it from being blown away by the wind but I guess the wind was way stronger.I put on an innocent face, playing dumb.“I don't know what you're talking about.”I pouted playfully.“Damn it!”He cursed underneath then walked to me and wrapped his strong hands around me so tightly.He buried his face in my neck, inhaling my scent so deeply.As though my scent was one of the best perfumes and I liked it whenever he did that.“You're really something,”He said in a husky voice that made goosebumps creep on my skin.He brushed his nose on my ear,his warm breath fanned my skin, sending shivers down my spine and I trembled in his arms.“Don't you dare deny it!”He said in almost a whisper but loud enough for me to hear.”You did it on purpose.I know you put on that red lingerie for me because you know fucking well that I
~Amanda~Gabriel didn't give me time to respond as he crashed his lips on mine.He helped me remove the dress and now I was left in my red lingerie and the red lacy bra.He turned me around roughly and unclasped my bra, setting my breasts free.God!I could feel the juices dripping in my pussy.My lingerie was wet,I could feel it.Gabriel sucked on my neck and held my breasts with both hands,then gave them a tight squeeze.A moan left my lips,he slapped my boobs then pinched my nipples so hard that I came.My knees became weak,I trembled in Gabriel's arms and he chuckled, enjoying my vulnerability and I fucking hated it.He roughly pushed me on the bed and I bounced on it.“Open your legs for me,”He said in an alpha tone and I quickly did what he said.The corner of his lips curved into a wicked smile.I know he enjoyed it whenever I submitted to him in bed.He loved it whenever
~Amanda~Gabriel lost balance and stumbled back as a result of the unexpected forceful push but he didn't fall because of his good stamina.Before I could wrap my head around what was going on, Andrew pounced on Gabriel out of the blues and punched him on the jaw so hard that I heard a crack.“You better stay away from her,jerk!There is no way I'm going to allow you to make a fool of her again!”Andrew said through gritted teeth.He was holding Gabriel by the collar so tightly that it made him choke,pinning him on the car.He was about to punch the confused Gabriel on the jaw again but I stepped in and held his fist,tears streaming down my cheeks.I couldn't stand the sight of Andrew throwing a fist on Gabriel's jaw again because it was tormenting.“Please stop it Andrew,”I said in almost a whisper but loud enough for him to hear and understand that I didn't want the fight to go on.I kno
~Amanda~Hours passed by pretty fast,it was already in the evening.I arranged the files that were laying on the table in order,put on my jacket, picked my handbag then headed out.I stopped outside Andrew's office. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door.Andrew granted me permission to enter and I carefully opened the door and I walked in.“Are you done?”I asked,my lips curving into a small smile.“Can you give me five more minutes?”He asked and I nodded,”I will head over to the coffee shop and wait for you.”He nodded then got back on the files.I grabbed my phone and sent a message to Gabriel, informing him that I will be a little bit late.I dropped the cellphone in my handbag and headed over to the coffee shop.I placed the order for two then waited patiently.The surroundings inside the coffee shop were calm,sweet music was playing in the background but I didn't pay that muc
ANDREW“Did we lose a potential investor or something?''Amanda asked and I could feel worry in her voice.“Relax, it's really nothing.”I chuckled and I saw her relax instantly, heaving a deep sigh.I didn't like it whenever she was worried.I swallowed the lump in my throat, keeping the words that I wanted to tell her to myself.“I'm so happy that Ariana will be able to have a complete family.”My lips curved into a smile.I know this was a losing battle because Gabriel is Ariana's biological father.Even though it hurt so much to learn the truth,I couldn't help it but accept because there was nothing I could do to change it.All I have ever wanted is for Amanda and her daughter to be happy.That is why I was trying to protect him from Gabriel this morning in the basement.“Thank you so much for understanding, Andrew.Thank you for being so supportive, caring and protective.I really appreciate every single thing that you have done for me and my daughter.”Amanda's lips curved into a smile a
~Amanda~Gabriel turned the music on and lowered the window on my side slightly.He turned his head to look at me momentarily and I flashed him a smile.“You look happy,”He complimented, then turned his focus to the road.“How did things go with Andrew?”He asked and the smile on my lips only broadened.“Not bad,”I shrugged nonchalantly, recalling our conversation.At first,things were hard but thanks to the heavens we managed to talk things out and Andrew was so easy to understand.“That smile on your face explains everything.”Gabriel said, looking at me through the rearview mirror.“Andrew is a family friend,my mother and Ariana love him and he loves them too.I didn't want to come to a point where I have to choose between my family and my love.”I paused then heaved a deep sigh.“My family” I was referring to Andrew. He is a part of it.He is like a brother I never had.We have been through thick and thin together and it would hurt if I had to choose because both Gabriel and Andrew are a
~Amanda~I took a sharp breath when I heard his obvious question.He looked at me through the mirror and we locked eyes.I could see lust in those stormy grey eyes and there was no doubt that he was enjoying it.Even though he didn't want to admit it out loud,I know he liked whenever I put on seductive lingerie and nightdress just for him.I know he fucking liked it!“I don't know what you're talking about.”I put on an innocent face and he grunted.“Don't you dare deny it!”He said,his voice so deep.Gsbriel brushed his nose behind my ear for a while.“I know you put on this nightdress to seduce me.”He insisted and I was quiet.He moved more close, bumping our bodies then buried his face in my neck, inhaling my scent so deeply.I subconsciously twisted my head to the side to give him full access to my neck to do whatever he wanted.My eyes shut involuntary and I could feel my heartbeat increase rapidly.“It seems like someone's missed me doing this,”He chuc
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
