Zayla’s p.o.v“You never told me you were a Lycan.” As we were speaking so casually, I stated one amongst many main truths about him that he’d not told me.“Would it have changed anything for you?”Now no. Back then maybe yes. “But… I thought Lycans weren’t real.”“The same way werewolves aren’t real for humans.” He smirked. “Try asking your werewolf friends if we are real or not. But don’t tell them it’s me.” He winked.“Why?”“Because I’d hate to kill anyone who knows my identity.”“But I do.”“You deserved to. It was just matter of time.”“Don’t you think that maybe I’ll tell about you to the outer world?”“No.” his voice echoed honesty.“You trust me that much?”“Yes.”“Why?”“Because you are the mate I chose.”I hardly doubted that. He must have thought of me as a complete fool. It was a general fact that mates can’t be chosen, they are destined.“Gabriel?”“Yeah love.”“I was just thinking. You know many things about me, not all but still enough. But I know close to nothing abou
We finally broke the kiss and I could feel my cheeks burning. “This was the best birthday gift ever love.” I was shy even more after hearing him. From that day, three years passed by in the blink of an eye. We started dating but none of us had uttered those three words to each other. It was not needed I guess. We knew each other and our hearts so well. I turned 22 and was finally graduating my under-grads. Even though I fell in love with Gabriel years back, I asked him to take things slowly as I was building my career too and he respected my drives. “Wow girl. Graduation today huh.” Hannah was more excited than me. “I never expected you to be here today? I am sure you have informed Liam about this. I am afraid he will go to the police station and file a complaint that his girlfriend’s missing and I’m the main suspect.” “Don’t say like that. He is a good boyfriend and he knows how much I love you.” “But yet you didn’t love me enough and left me two years back to go and live toget
As we were all one by one being called up on stage to receive our degree, I noticed it was Gabriel who was handing them out and not the dean. I could hear few students say that Gabriel never even showed up in the graduation day in all the years he had become the major investor in the uni. But he was here this year and they suspected it was because of the girl he'd mentioned earlier.As my turn was approaching, my heart was beating loudly. He wasn’t a stranger anymore. We’d shared hundreds of meals together, hundreds of car ride, and hundreds of hugging each other to sleep, but this time it was somehow different. When he handed me the degree and shook my hand, he left a small piece of paper in my hand which I hid immediately. “Congratulations my Mrs. Grayson! And this dress fits you so well.” he whispered.If I’d fainted then still that would be the lightest reaction. He was an expert at catching me off guard.I went back to my seat and Hannah hugged me and congratulated me. She was ha
“Gabriel-” “I’m not finished love. “You remember you asked me if you weren’t my mate, whether I would’ve liked you or not?” “Yeah. You said you didn’t know.” “I lied.” “Was there any need to lie?” “I did not want to be seen as a guy who liked a girl the first time he saw her.” “Is that anything embarrassing to admit?” “I don’t know. But it was a new thing. I always have the girls running after me, desperately wanting my attention. But with you it was different. With you, it was I who desperately wanted your attention. You or anyone in the world can say maybe that’s the mate thing. But my heart knows, it was love.” “Gabriel?” “Wait love.” He stopped me again and took out a velvet box from his pocket. It was a big red diamond ring and it defined beauty. My heartbeat rose. “I remember telling you I’ll wait for you and if today you reject me, then I will continue to wait until you agree… but still it’s my sincere request that you don’t torture my heart anymore. I indeed wanted
I’d just gotten Gabriel, finally I was seeing my chance at happiness but somehow, the fear was overtaking everything, leaving me with nothing but a frightened heart. I straight away went to take a quick shower and changed into a comfortable clothes. I did not like this uneasiness so I had to do something about it. And the only way to calm myself was... if I meet Gabriel. Without having my morning breakfast, I walked out of my apartment. I tried his business phone and fortunately his secretary Jim had picked up my call. On asking about the whereabouts of Gabriel, Jim told me they were in their branch office in the south of the city. I immediately called a cab and made my way to his company, to meet him. Something was telling me I should back out, I shouldn’t pry so much, but the other part was telling me that something bad was about to happen, a pure dark negative energy was lingering around me. I reached his office after a long two hours cab ride. It was my first time in that bran
After watching her unconscious body in the elevator for more than an hour, I made a call to the maintenance team to fix the elevator. I had hate for her in my heart, but after all it was same heart that once loved her (maybe still loves her). So I went to see her, the girl who was my whole world till yesterday and the girl I hated the most since yesterday. Why Zayla? Why did it have to be you? My heart ached, it was crying and I was controlling it, holding them back, trying to show no signs of emotions on my face. I picked her up in my arms and she was so weak and fragile. One tiny hit from me and she would break into thousand pieces. But that would be a merciful treatment for her after everything she’s done. She deserves all the pain that I had felt for all these years… she deserves hell. I called my manager to call for a doctor since I knew Aiden wouldn’t talk to me for rest of the day. I took her to my office and laid her on a large grey sofa. “How’s she doctor?” I asked the o
“I will cook you some food love. You have to eat something.” “No please. I am not hungry. Just hug me to sleep,” her weak voice reached my ears and I couldn’t deny them. I did not have that much strength in me. I laid beside her and turned her body to make it face me. I slid my one hand under her waist and pulled her even closer to me until there was no space left between us. I hugged her feeling a lot of things; love, care, pain, hate. “Gabriel?” she whispered. “Yes love.” “I Love You!” There. She said those words to me. If she’d said to me before yesterday then I would’ve been the happiest and most probably the craziest person on the earth. I would declare a holiday in the entire city, I would take her in my arms and kiss her until we both run out of breathe, but today, it was different. I felt only pain. “Zayla?” She did not speak. She was already in her wonderland. “I don’t want to love you anymore love.” The next morning, I did not leave her side like yesterday. I woke u
“Hannah just left and you are already taking to some other girl?” Ethan had a teasing tone. “It’s Zayla.” I did not speak. I wanted to hear how he’d react, but even he did not reply afterwards. Maybe even he does not want to talk to me. After all, after all these years, we indeed have nothing to talk about. “Amm Liam, I think I will hang up the pho-” “Zayla?” I heard my name... from his mouth... in his voice. “Hey, I could’ve given you the phone if you’d asked me politely. No need to snatch.” Liam sounded frustrated. “Zayla? You there?” I heard his voice again. “Yeah.” I managed to speak. “Hi… Ethan.” “Hi Zayla! How have you been?” I was searching for words to reply to him when the doorbell rang. “One second, there’s someone at the door,” I asked Ethan to wait as I went to open the door. It was Hannah. “You don’t know what happened girl-” I covered her chatter box like mouth, hinting her to be quite. “It’s Hannah... Could you tell Liam that she’s here? He must be worried
