“I don’t know... maybe…,” Gabriel finally assented, inclining his head slightly. “If I was assured of your happiness. I installed my men around your university…I’ve had men following you since…” His eyes remained steady on the far-off crashing waves. “I know you were single for a time…” He let out a
**Gabe’s POV ** Maybe it was being back in my home country, but I felt myself in lighter spirits. My mate was here where she was supposed to be. Briefly, I recalled my previous decision to set her up here in this very penthouse. What a fool I’d been. There was no way I could leave Evelina here. Eve
**Gabe's POV**Evelina was a vision in deep indigo and silver lace.Her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, shimmering under the soft glow of the chandeliers. Her eyes, a shade of dark brown that reminded me of the deep forest soil after a heavy rain, held a mixture of uncertainty.
Slowly, I let my fingers trail over her shoulder before curving behind to her shoulder-blade, and finally trailing down the bare skin of her spine. The beautiful woman in my arms gasped, leaning into me with a shiver of, dare I hope, anticipation.As we leaned in closer to each other, I could feel t
**Evelina’s POV**When this size zero woman with her double DDs spilling out of a Versace designer dress hurled herself at Gabe, I’d thought she was a friend. But when she planted her inflated pouty lips on my mate, I saw red. An inferno of jealousy ignited within me, ugly thoughts swirling like bla
**Evelina's POV**“I wonder… if you had a stepbrother, would you greet him by shoving your tongue down his throat?” I queried bluntly, turning to stare at Gabe with my hands on my hips.The bas.tard had the balls to shake his head in exasperation.“There was no tongue involved. Kirsty is just…affect
**Evelina’s POV**Vincent met us at the waterfront restaurant our meeting was supposed to take place. Apparently, Alpha Lorenzo was already there and being a pain.“He keeps asking what’s in it for him,” Vincent explained darkly, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably whilst he led Gabriel and I
“Must you always want something here and now? Is power really that important?” I queried briskly, my hand going idly to my wineglass. I pretended to glance out at the breathtaking view of the ocean before looking back at Alpha Lorenzo.“You underestimate the allure of power,” he smirked. “I’m just t
“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
