Hello, if you're enjoying this story, please find me on Ruby's Reading Room and take part in our chapter/character discussions. A reader has christened Gabe the Robinhood DON. What do you think? Do you think he was volatile, or did the right thing? What a contrast from DEAR OLD ROBERT.
Gabe’s POVThe only reason this pendejo wasn’t dead was because Evelina had called me Gabe. Not Gabriel…not asshole…Gabe. The familiarity with which she said it...it had struck something within me. Something that wanted to please her. And something told me she wouldn’t like it if I killed that assho
Her stunning eyes, unusually dark, gazed at me with the fear of a trapped mouse. Revulsion filled my gut. This was not how it was supposed to be. I walked over to her, opening the remaining buttons of my shirt. My eyes watched the way her breath caught, the way she leaned into me robotically. Her de
The sheets made a soft rustling sound as she shifted her position, turning to face me completely. She placed her cheek on top of her clasped hands, her eyes fixed on mine.“He raised two girls as if they...as if we... were his own. But he was never our biological father. What he did…he did because o
I closed my eyes, trying to not let the regret of nearly losing my mate consume me. Revenge was dangerous. I’d nearly lost her by my own hand. And I’d spent the proceeding years making sure she was safe. Atonement for nearly doing the one thing I never should have done.The desire to protect her was
Evelina’s POVMaybe I was just over emotional. Or maybe I’d just gone insane. Because not even two minutes ago he’d been admitting how he’d plotted to kill me, and now I was throwing myself at him. But when Gabe shared how he felt about raising another man’s child, he bridged a chasm between me and
My hand finally slipped under his shirt bunched around his chest, touching more of those finely chiselled muscles I’d seen a vague outline of in the dark. I wanted to kiss my way across them. To feel them under my tongue.“Vos sos mia…(you’re mine),” he murmured against my lips.”Vos sos mia para sie
I woke up the next morning to realise I’d slept nearly 12 hours straight. There were vague remnants of a memory or maybe a dream of Gabe coming to bed and slinging an arm around my waist. Maybe I’d snuggled deeper against him. Maybe I hadn’t. Maybe it was all a figment of my imagination. Or wishful
My thoughts went to my papa, red-eyed in the living room and panting for a drop of alcohol at every turn. Was he like Papa…but just… addicted to killing people he didn’t agree with? My stomach churned.I am a monster Evelina…accept me as I am or not at all.I closed my eyes against the words. I had
“I’m right here!” Dad announced, walking through the double doors on the other side of the dining room. “I was just having a talk with Elena since she’s done in the kitchen. Making sure border security was up to par around here.” Gabe huffed. “My beta and I can maintain security without your help,
He nearly shot the doctor when the doctor tried to explain that taking out the placenta was a normal part of delivery and nothing had gone wrong. He also had not been happy that his beautiful daughter was covered in blood. “She’s got her father’s eyes,” Mama murmured, still staring down at Marcela
EpilogueThree months later… **Evelina’s POV** “She’s beautiful!” breathed Tia Melanie as Mama held Marcela in her arms I smiled, exhausted yet so very happy as we sat in the living room of our little home. Gabe, sitting next to me, pressed a kiss to my forehead. Our daughter, Marcela, had been b
I did the math. She got pregnant while we were in Avalon. “I didn’t have the IUD in, and we were having sex,” Evelian revealed. “I’ve been late but I thought it was because of the birth control shots I had recently started. I didn’t think much of it until I came back from Italy and had a doctor’s a
‘I like ramming into you so hard, you scream my name,’ I retorted through the mindlink. Evelina gave me a saucy smile as she deliberately moved her hips in circular motions. “Let’s see if you can still be quiet,” she whispered teasingly, before kissing me gently on my cheek. And that was the mome
**Gabe's POV**Later that very same day, Evelina settled next to me in bed, snuggling next to me. It had been an eventful day to say the least. Evelina, however, had a smile on her face. Which made me happy. She was my world. I looked over at her, and gently brushed her hair behind her ear. “What
Lorenzo looked quickly at Raina again. “I would never take my child away from his mother. Do you really think so little of me? Or did you just want to stay the mistress of Diablo?” He glowered at Raina. “I was never good enough for you, was I? Which is why you didn’t want to take up the position as
**Gabe’s POV** I would have loved to say we lived happily ever after. Like in the books and fairytales. But unfortunately, real life was not like that. How could we live happily ever after after losing so many people? Vin was gone. Alpha Xavier was too. And so were countless of the best warriors an
Everyone bowed their heads in the clearing of the moon goddesses temple. I wiped the tears from my eyes. We had lost many good people in the war against demons. But Uncle Tony was right, their legacy would live on with us. We would never forget how bravely they fought. Claire, Aunt Alyssa and Uncl
