Chapter 34Rachel p.o.vEthan and I were surrounded by at least twelve rogues, all of them snarling and stinking like rotten flesh. Ethan tries to stand in front of me protectively,but he and I both knew that even he couldn't take on this many at once."Shift". I told him and we both jumped,landing on our paws. It had been a long time since I had seen Ethan wolf and the brown monstrosity somehow looked like it was on steroids. I had never seen so much muscle on a wolf and I was hoping that would translate to strength while still maintaining some speed because these rogues were lean, meaning they were fast. My light brown wolf shook out her fur and puffed out her chest, giving the illusion of confidence .Which in all honesty wasn't that misplaced, both if my parents are fierce warriors. I got my mom's speed and agility mixed with my father's quick thinking. I could use some work on brute force front, but my lean frame allows me to be faster which mixed with quick decision making is mo
Chapter 35Rachel P.O.VMuch too soon, I feel myself being woken up, I whine in protest and push his hand away before I hear Gabriel chuckles in my ear." We're home, Rachel". He murmurs and I force my eyes to open. It is still dark, but the sun looks about ready to peek over the horizon. Ethan didn't say anything, just hops out of the car and shifted, shredding his clothes before running off into the forest and letting out a cheerful howl. Gabriel laughs before pushing open the door. I'm still on his lap, so he can stand with me in his arms. He walks towards the pack house but stops and looks down at me with a hopeful expression on his face." Do you want me to take you to your parent's house ?" He asks and I shake my head with a shy smile." No, can I stay here in my room ?" I ask and he smiles brightly before kissing my forehead." You never have to ask, it your's yours anytime you want ". He says and carries me up the stairs. He sits me gently on the bed and stands awkwardly with
Chapter 36Gabriel P.O.VWaking up next to Rachel felt like I was still dreaming, her soft snores filled the otherwise quiet room and I kept my arms wrapped around her tightly. I was thrilled when she said she would give me a chance hopefully, that means no more pushing away. I'll understand if she still gets upset and angry sometimes, I don't expect her to forget the way I treated her in the past just because of the mate bond. Well, my side of the mate bond, knowing that she can feel it a little now too well, that amazing. I tuck my face into her neck to breathe her in, keeping the rest of me still so she can sleep some more. She was exhausted, hurt, and scared. I'm hoping that is not the only reason why she kissed me. That use of that kiss was the most amazing thing I've felt in my entire life. She rolls a little in my arm to face me and nuzzles her face into my chest before letting out a little rumble in her chest. I smile at the affection knowing that even in her sleep she is enjo
Chapter37 Rachel P.O.VI couldn't tell if Gabriel was excited or nervous, or both. Because right now he looks like he needs to poop. I've never seen his face like that before. He has been gone for a while now, all in the name of planning as he said before leaving for the gym with Ethan.Frankly speaking, right now he looks like he barely survived his first session. I couldn't help but smile, looking at his shirt soaked with sweat, bright red face, and a constant grimace of pain smearing his handsome face. After a hot shower, and a short nap which he swore wasn't needed, he looks back to normal. He forced me to get dressed and pulled me up from my comfortable bed and out of the pack house. We have been walking through the pack for nearly twenty minutes, I'm starting to get nervous." Baby, where are we heading to?" I couldn't help but ask, knowing he's a sucker for endearment. He gives me a warm smile, before grabbing my hand and lifting it to place a kiss on my palm before entangling
Chapter 38Gabriel's P.O.VI felt Rachel stiffen under me. It was then I realized that my canines were out. I was really close to marking her right now and I wasn't sure if she would want me to stop or continue." Gabriel". Wait she says quietly that pulls my wolf from his rabid desire to sink its teeth into his mate. I moved away, pushing myself off and off her looking away into the forest ashamed of my lack of self control." I'm sorry Rachel ". I say more like a whisper standing and walking a few feet away from her. I hear her sigh as she stands behind me, she was right behind me the next second wrapping her arms around my waist and resting her head on my back."You have nothing to be sorry for,I can't imagine how hard it is for you to hold yourself back from marking me". She says trying to comfort me,I turn to wrap her in a firm hug." You are not mad at me?" I ask pulling away to search her eyes. She shakes her head smiling back at me." If you didn't stop, I would have been mad"
Chapter 39Rachel P.O.VThe next week went by very fast while Gabriel and I fell into a comfortable pattern. He returns to his Alpha preparation and other duties around the pack as well as his new fitness routine with Ethan, I could already tell that he was getting faster and stronger. At training he took everyone down including Ethan and barely broke a sweat, I was thoroughly impressed.He slept on my bed in the pack house every night, he never pushed me for more than I was ready for and I was pleased with his self control. He seemed very okay with just sleeping by my side and holding me all night. He was getting a little clingy, I think his wolf was really struggling with the fact that I wasn't marked yet. I felt like I was becoming more comfortable with the idea,I just wasn't there yet.I know my feeling for Gabriel was growing, he was burrowing his own pace into my heart. I tried so hard to steal from him,I wasn't sure at what point I should accept the inevitable and allow him to
Chapter 40Gabriel P.O.V"Debbie? Do you remember what happened the last time you tried to fight me? I'm surprised you want a recap of that". Rachel says smugly from my side, but I could feel her reluctance leaking through the mate bond. She doesn't want to fight to the death, not only does she not want to die she doesn't want to kill anyone either.Even if it is Debbie, I'm half tempted to end her life here and now." Debbie, leave. We will discuss this when everyone has calmed down. My father orders her to act like she wants to argue and look over at me longingly. I growl at her and she stands, scowling at Rachel." Will you come to see me later?" She had the nerve to ask me and I huffed a laugh at her." If you see me later, I will be there to kill you". I tell her through clenched teeth. She rolled her eyes before exiting the room, my mother slamming the door behind her." That Conny little trollop". My mother mutters and Rachel manages to laugh at that." Is it possible what she
Chapter 41Rachel P.O.VWell, I'm pretty sure Ethan was trying to kill me before Debbie ever got her filthy paws on me after Gabriel told me about his conversation with Steve. It became clear that there would be no reasoning with Debbie.And that she has absolutely nothing to lose.I've never heard of a wolf rejecting their mate hoping the one they want is their second chance mate. There are just so many variables, besides the fact that second-chance mates are very rare to find. I've never met a pair of them or even heard of it happening. It's almost like the concept is some sort of myth, I won't pretend to understand what that girl is thinking, all I can do is train my ass off to beat her." Faster, Rachel !" Ethan yells as I try to dodge his blow, gulping in air as my lungs burn in protest." Debbie's is fast as fuck". You have to wear her out before you can launch an attack on her". He growls as he manages to swipe my belly. I huff in frustration and shove him, catching him off guar
Chapter 94Ethan became emotional as his bride walked up to him. The wedding was officiated by the Alpha of the pack,Alpha Gabriel. They were both directed to say their vows and then the joining vine was tied on their hands before they were declared married.Before the Alpha directed them to kiss themselves, Ethan had covered Accalia's mouth passionately, leaving the guests screaming, pleasurably. The couple walked out excitedly hand in hand amidst cheers from everyone.With no delay,they all moved to the wedding reception dinner held at Ethan's home. The place was decorated beautifully and guests were directed to sit at the long table,filled with assorted food,cake,meats and wine.Ethan and Accalia took their place at the head of the table. Everyone had their plates full with whatever food they chose,dished by one of the staff. Helen sat close to Max and occasionally,she would help Adam to some food, especially the meats that he had an issue, cutting into pieces.Alpha Gabriel helped
Chapter 93Accalia gave a light laugh to everyone's surprise. "It was beautiful",she gasped as she was helped to sit up by Ethan."My mother was thrilled to see me. Same with my dad. They looked happy and blessed me. They made me promise to love you with all of my heart", Accalia said pointing to Ethan who was smiling in relief."Ahh! Who knew you could take all of that in?"Helen asked with surprise."I didn't say it,but I wanted to know how I became an Omicron. I needed to ask my parents. And I'm happy I did get answers. It turns out my late great grandfather was an Omicron before he died", Accalia said."They explained the ways of an Omicron to me and what I shouldn't do to avoid me getting in trouble. I really needed to hear what I heard, honestly", Accalia said, relieved."Wow! That's good. Each werewolf has its way,so it's good that you've found your own kind to speak to you",Alpha Max said."But.. something else was there, isn't it? We saw you jerking violently in torments", Gab
Chapter 92Just as Helen was stomping off angrily,she walked in on Gabriel and Ethan having a light conversation. The men noticed the foul mood, Helen seemed to be in and they got curious."Is everything okay?", Ethan asked looking around for Accalia."That depends! Ask your wife!",she said and walked off. Immediately,she said that, Ethan was taken aback at her response and he flinched. Helen had never been that rude to him. Dashing into the room,he left Alpha Gabriel,who was trying to pacify Helen in search of Accalia. He hoped there was nothing wrong with her.Ethan breathed out in relief when he swiftly opened the door and met Accalia and Rachel having a low conversation. Although, Rachel looked gloomy,he was relieved there was nothing wrong with her.He breathed the air and caught the whiff scent of a growing foetus and paused. Ethan tried to ascertain where the scent came from when his wolf eyes scanned through the ladies,and spotted a growing and kicking foetus in Rachel.Ethan
Chapter 91Accalia and Ethan got back to town quite late and they decided she was sleeping over at his place. Helen was arriving in town the next day,so Accalia had to meet her early and try her dress, before people would flock in to say hello to the Luna of the Northern kingdom.Accalia got up early,whipped some breakfast for Ethan who was still in bed before dashing out. She was in a hurry. Few steps from arriving at Rachel's home,she saw Helen arrive. She walked with two people who helped her around with her bags."Helen! I'm sorry Luna!", Accalia screamed excitedly.The ladies shared a warm hug and after some time,they disentangled from the hug. Accalia politely greeted the entourage that came with Helen and they bowed respectfully at her. Helen looked glorious and happy."Good thing I ran into you first, before the whole town hears that the Queen of the North is here. We should meet up with Rachel inside", Accalia said taking the bag of clothes from her."Right away!", Helen affi
Chapter 90The news of Accalia and Ethan's engagement was received well by everyone. The town wasn't exactly surprised because they had expected it, seeing how much Ethan loved Accalia. The couple had decided to make their wedding a very simple one attended by only close friends and family.Ethan still had his quiet personality but since he and Accalia got together,he was less of an introvert.When the news got to Helen in her kingdom,she was elated. She made Accalia promise to allow her make her gown for the day. Accalia didn't want the loud and large gown,but a unique gracious gown,fit for her.Accalia was going to move out of the house,soon to live with Ethan in his bigger house,so they decided to have a simple wedding by the side of the brook by Accalia's house,while the wedding dinner would take place at Ethan's home.With their decision to have a smaller wedding, Accalia and Ethan had few things to do. They had chosen their outfits and food for friends,so all that was left was t
Chapter 89It was just a week after Helen and Max's wedding but yet things had gone back to normal. But of course,the stories about the wedding was still in the news,with people reliving the memories.Life had gone back to normal for Accalia and she had started her oils and perfumes production,when she was back from the wedding. Ethan would always check up on her if she needed anything,but truly he was just being careful that she didn't fall unconscious again.It was a rainy morning and since, Accalia couldn't go out to sell some oils,cause of the rain,she decided to cook herself some hot oatmeal with raisins. She had just poured some of the oats into the boiling water and began to stir slowly,when she heard a knock on her window.The rain hit harder,so she didn't see clearly from the window but she knew that only one person would come in the rain to visit her. She rushed to the door and opened to Ethan,who was drenched with water. "Baby! To what do I owe this surprise?",she said tea
Chapter 88The wedding finally came to its end and the newly married couple waved their byes to all their guests, from far and near and thanked everyone who had gifted them. Max's chambers was quiet and the golden lamps in the large corridor gave the house a soothing feeling. Max held Helen's hands as they walked to their room. Adam had slept off earlier and his nanny had tucked him bed.Alpha Max had instructed all the staff that worked in his home, to go back home and get some rest with his families, because he wanted to be with his wife,and didn't want anyone to interfere or eavesdrop on them.Werewolves had a fantastic sense of hearing and he didn't want anyone to hear the moans that would escape from his wife's mouth. Helen stepped into the room and for the first time in the day,she breathed out.Max went behind her and unzipped her dress and the material fell to the ground, revealing Helen's underwear and corset top. He also helped her to unhook it and gently massaged the lines
Chapter 87Soon Accalia, began to feel warm smiles and hugs from everyone. People were impressed at how lively she was, and not even showing any sign of pain. Accalia bowed to the old Alpha and Alpha Gabriel."You look beautiful,dear and thank you for coming back home to us", Alpha Gabriel said, ignoring her bow and hugging her instead."Thank you my Alpha,it's good to be home",she replied."And if it isn't the strong and brave Accalia, who decided to gift us her treasured presence at my wedding", Alpha Max said cheerfully and hugged her from behind."It's my pleasure to bother the handsome groom with my unnoticed presence. Why would I miss the delicious meals,we planned to have on the menu today?", Accalia joked and Max was thrown in fits of laughter."Thank you for coming back",Max said and Accalia bowed politely.Ethan was about to wrap his hands around Accalia when several hands knocked his off and hugged Accalia instead. It was Eunice and her friends. They all looked beautiful in
Chapter 86" Baby I don't care about what or who you turned to. I'm just glad you are back. I was loosing my mind, everyone was", Ethan said holding Accalia's face on his hands.Her face had received some of its glow and her smile was still as beautiful as ever. She smiled at him and they kissed. It wasn't a kiss based on lust. It was a passionate kiss of hope and contentment."Your face and love we shared was the one thing I held on to in that dark place,I found myself", Accalia said."I have gone through so many hateful and frightening things in my existence but your love was the gleam of hope that led me through it all",She said."And I'm sure that of Helen and Rachel, especially Helen's loud chatter and laughter", Accalia joked.Ethan still stared at her dumbstruck at how lively she became from the motionless being she had been for several weeks. He was certain the whole town would erupt in excitement. "Ethan? Where is everyone? Did they give up on me already?",she asked suddenly
