Gabriel’s POVI was finally able to relax now that Aria said she would move to my house. Knowing she will be near me all the time gave me a warm and peaceful feeling.I could tell Nick was happy as well. He was smiling so wide I thought his mouth was going to rip. I chuckled at his expression.The more I thought about it, the more this mate thing annoyed me. I just found my sister and now I will have to compete for her attention once Nick told her. I knew it was stupid, but I couldn’t escape these feelings. I wanted to spend time with her. Get to know her. But I knew how possessive Nick can be, and he will make it difficult. Because he wanted the same thing. I was already pissed at Nick, but he was my friend and I wanted him to be happy. And Aria made him happy. I will just have to find a way to keep my own possessiveness in check.“How about we go to the living room and watch a movie?” Annie asked, interrupting my train of thought.“Sure,” I nodded, “but not some chick flick.”Annie
Gabriel’s POVWhen Nick and I got into my car he sighed loudly.“I am going to lose her before I even get her,” he said.“You will not. But you have to tell her the truth,” I said while starting the car.“I will do it tomorrow when they move in,” he tells me. “Honestly I was afraid to tell her today. I have a feeling she would run away.”“What makes you say that?” I frowned.“I don’t know,” he said. “Maybe I am picking up something from her. But I am going to tell her when she is close so I can keep an eye on her.”“Should we stay and watch the house?” I asked.I was concerned. She wouldn’t run, would she?“So she can bite our heads off if she catches us?” he said, smirking. “I will text Annie and tell her to be careful.”He pulled out his phone from his front pocket and texted Annie. A few moments later she responded. He read her text and I could see his fists clenching.“What?” I asked angrily.“Annie says she got the same feeling from her. She will watch her carefully,” he growled.
Gabriel’s POVI woke up around 10 am and the first thing I did was smile. It was the day my sister came home.I got up and went to the bathroom to do my morning business and to take a shower. I quickly got dressed and went downstairs to have a cup of coffee and eat something.My plan was to get to Annie’s house as quickly as possible. Maybe get them here before 6 pm.There was a knock on my door and Nick let himself in.“Hey, man.” he greeted me.“Morning,” I said, chewing on a sandwich as fast as I could.“Somebody is hungry,” he smirked and got himself a cup of coffee. “Did you have a girl here last night?”“No,” I frowned. “I just want to get to Annie’s house as fast as possible.”“You are going to freak her out and ruin this for both of us,” he said. “You said 6 pm. Give her until then.”I looked at him and frowned. I didn’t want to wait until then. How was he so calm?“What the hell am I supposed to do until then?” I asked him. “And how are you so calm? You should want her here e
Warning: description of violence.Unknown POVShe was so beautiful. Even more than four years ago when I first found her. She was a woman now.I let my gaze travel down her body. Her breasts were perkier than the last time. Her waist was slightly slimmer, and her ass was a bit rounder. She was perfect.Her brown hair is touching her waist and her green eyes are wonderful. I couldn’t stop dreaming about her. I will have her. I can’t wait to touch her again. It will be even more exciting this time. She was enchanting now.I watched her leave the house she had been staying at for the past couple of days. She was with a girl and two men who I can’t wait to kill. I had been watching those two idiots for the last two days, and they both had a thing for my girl. I can’t have that. After my boss uses her for his plans, she will be mine. He has promised me.I pull my phone out of my pocket and call my boss.“She left the house,” I said.“Good. Follow her,” my boss said. “Do not lose her!”“I w
Gabriel’s POVI was smiling like an idiot, and I couldn’t remember the last time I was this happy.I pulled up my driveway and Nick and I helped the girls with their bags. We went upstairs and I showed the girls to their rooms while Nick went to get dinner his mom had made for us.“Which bags are yours?” I asked Aria.“That one,” she said and pointed to a black duffle bag.“You have only one?” I was confused.“Yeah, well, I lost all of my stuff in the fire,” she said with sadness in her voice.“Don’t worry,” I said and placed my hand on her shoulder. “We will replace everything.”She looked at me confused, but I didn’t give her space to ask me anything.“Unpack and then come downstairs,” I smiled and walked out the door.I went towards Annie’s room and saw her getting her clothes from her bags and folding them in the closet. She was excited and it made me happy. I knocked on the open door.She looked up at me and smiled. “Hey, Gabe.”“Is the closet big enough?” I teased her.“It will
Gabriel’s POVI thought I was going to lose it when I saw Aria run away. Annie barely stopped me from going after her. She told me to let Nick handle it, but I was afraid he wouldn't catch her. When he told me he got her, I could finally breathe normally again.“I can’t believe she ran away,” Annie said quietly.I didn’t know what to respond, so I just continued to stare through the window, waiting for them to return.“What if she rejects him?” she asked and came to stand by me.“He will probably go back to being an even bigger man whore than before,” I chuckled.I knew how hurt he would be. It would kill him. He really cared about her. But it was easier to joke around than to tell Annie the truth.“He was a man whore?” she smiled and raised her eyebrow.“Pretty much,” I said.“What about you?” she asked me, smirking.I turned to her and gave her my most seductive smile. “Women love me.”She laughed and shook her head. “I bet they do.”I turned back towards the window and saw Nick and
Gabriel’s POVI woke up to the sound of knocking on my bedroom door.“What?” I grunted, not wanting to get up.“Get up, man,” I heard Nick’s voice. “We have to start searching.”I grunted again and sat up in my bed. We agreed to go to my grandma’s old study and our library and find everything we can about Victor and Cora. If he was politically active there should be some records about him. We have to start somewhere.“What time is it?” I asked and got up.“8:30 am.”“Too early,” I complained.He laughed. “Don’t be a pussy. Go do your morning stuff and I’ll see you at your grandma’s study. I’ll start looking.”I brushed my teeth and hopped in the shower. I put on a pair of sweats and a hoodie and went down to the kitchen.I made two cups of coffee and took them to the study.Nick already had two books in front of him.“Anything?” I asked and handed him his cup of coffee.“Nothing much,” he responded, not looking up from the book in front of him. “Go to the library and bring any books t
Calvin’s POVWhen I saw her leave the house alone this morning, I got excited. She was finally getting away from those two idiots that think she belonged to them.She was mine.I looked at the time and I saw it was a little past 8 am. Where was she going this early? And how come she was alone? I thought those two idiots were never going to let her out of their sight.I could feel a strong aura of possessiveness and protectiveness coming from them toward both girls. But mostly Aria.She was wearing a jacket on top of a hoodie and jeans that made her ass look perfect. I can’t wait to touch her again. Her hair was in a ponytail, and I could see her pretty face perfectly.Just looking at her got me hard and my breathing picked up. No woman had ever managed to do that to me just by existing. I wondered how excited I will get when I finally have that body to myself. Without the clothes.I have to stop thinking about that because I will go against my boss, and he will kill me this time.I to
Gabriel’s POV“Aria!” I yelled.Where the hell is, she? We are going to be late.I heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. Aria walked in wearing a dress and white sneakers. Her hair was up in a ponytail, and she had a little makeup on.“Why are you in such a hurry?” she asked. “Nick is not even here yet.”“I promised Zack we would come a little earlier so I could help him hang the sign,” I explained.“We will be there on time,” she smiled. “Don’t worry.”There was a knock on the door, and Nick walked inside. His eyes immediately went to Aria, and he gave her a small smile. That guy was totally whipped.“Are you ready?” he asked us, reaching his hand to Aria.“Yes,” she smiled and took his hand in hers.We walked outside, and I locked the front door. We got into my car and started driving to Jake and Cassie’s house.We didn’t really need to drive there, considering it was only a five-minute walk, but the sign was too big to carry, so I had to put it in my car.“Does Cassie know anyth
Gabriel’s POVI woke up in my bed and sighed constantly. It was December 12th, and it was our birthday. I smiled and opened my eyes.It was the first of many birthdays my sister and I will share.I wished this wasn’t the first one. I wished we had shared our birthdays since the first one, like we were supposed to do.But I can’t change the past. I can only be thankful that I have her here with me now. And I didn’t intend to let her go ever again.I was thankful I waited that long for a haircut.I was thankful I slept in that day and had to go to the salon later.I was thankful I opened the door just in time for her to run into me.I was thankful that she bumped into me that day.I was thankful that Nick managed to convince me to go to one more hotel.I was thankful that Mrs. Black was out that day working in the garden. I was thankful she approached Aria, talked to her, and told me about it.I was thankful for each and every decision that led me to my sister.I got out of bed and look
Gabriel’s POVIt’s been a few days since the battle.Patricia, Mike, and Jack went to Victor’s headquarters to end the inquisition. They should come back in a few days. Mike had been keeping me updated. Patricia didn’t try to take Victor’s position. For now. They were shutting his whole operation down. It wasn’t going as smoothly as we had hoped it would, but they were making progress. They were having trouble with some of Victor’s most loyal followers. They didn’t believe he was dead, and they wanted to continue with the inquisition.I trusted that Mike, Jack, and Patricia would be able to deal with them.The rest of us were packing to go home tomorrow. We stayed so Aria could take care of Zack. And she did an amazing job. Zack was up on his feet, and he was doing well. He got tired easily and he still spends most of his time in bed, but his wound healed miraculously well, and his fever was completely gone.Things around here were a little bit tense.There was something going on betw
Gabriel’s POV“What happens now?” Annie asked while we were eating.I raised my head to look at her. “Now we go home.”I took Aria’s hand in mine. We will finally be at peace. We will finally be able to live like a normal family.“It seems surreal,” Aria mumbled, looking down at her plate.“What does?” I asked her.She put down her fork and looked up at me. “Everything. Are we sure that this is over? It sounds too good to be true. What about the prophecy? What about his threat?”“He is dead, baby,” Nick spoke before I could. “He is gone forever and this whole story is over. Not all prophecies come true.”She sighed and looked back down at her plate. “I guess.”I placed my hand on her back and rubbed small circles soothingly. “Don’t worry, love. It is over.”She looked up at me and gave me a small smile. She didn’t look convinced. I sighed internally. I would make sure she felt safe. I would make sure she believed that this was over.Because it was.It had to be.Nick watched him burn
Nick’s POVI watched Gabriel walking away with my mate in his arms.My heart clenched painfully.I wanted to go with her. I needed to go with her. She was hurt and I was supposed to be with her.But I couldn’t.I had to make sure the fucker was dead. I had to stay behind and watch his body turn to ash.What he said about the prophecy not being fulfilled made my stomach twist. I had to make sure that he was gone.I watched my mate until I couldn’t see her anymore.I sighed and turned back around. Mike was standing next to me, his arms crossed over his chest, glaring at the fire. Patricia was on the other side. Her eyes were filled with tears.I glanced around the field. Someone was missing.Petra.Fuck.She took Cora’s power. She has so much dark magic right now. She could be dangerous.My eyes darted around the field. I couldn’t find her anywhere.We were so focused on Victor, that we completely forgot about her.“Where the fuck is Petra?” I growled.“Gone,” Patricia mumbled.I looked
Gabriel’s POVThe way he looked at Aria made me furious. I will kill the fucker and dance around his dead fucking body.I gathered my magic and I blasted it toward Victor.He was fast. He pulled up a shield and his eyes snapped toward me.“YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!” he screamed. “I CAN’T WAIT TO TAKE AWAY YOUR MAGIC AND KILL YOU!”I smirked and fired up my magic again. Victor expected it and sent a blast my way. Aria put up a shield in front of us.At this point, everybody started fighting. Annie and Mike ran toward Petra to help her with Cora. Nick, Jake, Aria, and I focused on Victor.He was strong, stronger than I thought he would be. I glanced over at Aria and gave her a little nod. She was panting hard, trying to hold up her shield.I focused on projecting an image of a cliff toward Victor. Aria focused on projecting pain. As soon as our spells hit him, he staggered back. His magic lost its intensity and his attack stopped.I was relieved. I took a deep breath and focused on keep
Gabriel’s POVAria was next to me the entire time. I held her hand in mine and refused to let go of it, even for a second. I will not lose her again. He was not taking her away from me. She won’t get hurt.My ears were ringing from the constant noise coming from the forest. There were dead bodies lying around us. We tried not to kill, we truly did. But sometimes we didn’t have a choice.I could hear growls all around us. Aria’s eyes were on Nick the entire time. He was merciless. He was bringing other wolves down like it was nothing. He was fueled by anger, and that made him even more dangerous.“Aria!” I yelled, bringing her focus back on our task.There was a man running toward her with a knife in his hands. She snapped her eyes at him, and he was down in a second. He was screaming in pain.“Fuck,” I mumbled.That was close.Zack ran toward us. He took the knife from the man and knocked him unconscious.I looked over at the group fighting with Mike and Jack. I focused on them and pr
Gabriel’s POVIt had been four days since we called Victor. I started to think our plan wasn’t going to work.“What are you doing?” I heard a voice behind me.I turned around and saw Annie leaning on the door frame.I had been sitting in my room for the past hour, staring through my window at the backyard, trying to come up with strategies on how to defeat the fucker. We were done with practice for the day, so I decided to spend some alone time.“Thinking,” I answered, turning back to look through the window.“About?” Annie asked and walked toward me.“Battle plans,” I answered, not looking at her.I heard her sigh. She sat down in the chair next to me. I could feel her gaze on me.“Are you okay?” she asked quietly.I glanced at her before returning my gaze to the window in front of us.Was I okay? Not really. I was tense, pissed off and afraid. I would like to glue Aria to myself, but I knew that I couldn’t. I was terrified he would take her away from me. But I can’t tell her that. I
Gabriel’s POVI gripped Aria’s hand tighter and turned to Nick.“Do you have the phone here?” I asked.Nick reached into his pocket and pulled out Calvin’s phone. He placed it down on the table and looked up at me. My friends sat down at the table and nervously glanced at the phone.I looked at my sister. “Are you ready?”She took a deep breath and nodded slowly.I wish we didn’t have to do this. I wish there was another way. I was against her being here and listening to this. Others thought she had a right to know. Looking at her right now, I regret not fighting against them harder.“We are here for you, okay?” Jake said, reaching over the table for Aria’s hand.She let go of me and took his hand in hers. “Thank you, Jake.”I pulled her hand from Jake and put it back in mine. Jake glared at me, and I gave him a ‘don’t fuck with me right now’ look.Nick reached for the phone, but Patricia stopped him. “Hold on a second.”We looked at her with confused expressions on our faces.“He is
