Gabriel’s POV

She was saying goodbye to us.

No.

No fucking way.

He was not taking her away from me! Not now, not ever.

My whole body was shaking. I wanted to do something, but I was terrified that the knife would cut her before my spell hit him.

I watched him lean in and kiss her cheek.

“You taste amazing,” he said. “I can’t wait to try more of you.”

That pushed Nick over the edge. Before I could blink, he shifted into his wolf. I had never seen him this angry. He terrified me.

But I couldn’t let him attack. Not yet. He will kill her.

I grabbed his fur with my hand and held him back.

He turned his head toward me and snapped his huge canines.

“Don’t you see a fucking knife under her throat?!” I whisper yelled at him. “Don’t fucking move, Nate! Not yet!”

His black eyes snapped back to that fucker.

“Minnie?” I heard Jacob’s trembling voice call out to her.

What the fuck was he doing? My eyes went from him to the fucker holding my sister. His eyes narrowe

    Gabriel’s POVI’ve never felt better.I wanted to bring him back only to kill him again.“What the fuck do we do with him?” Jacob asked and threw his bloody knife away.“Leave him here. Wild animals will take care of him,” I said and took a step back from his dead body.We were all drenched in his blood. I had no fucking idea how we were going to clean ourselves.“We should take his phone,” Nick said and walked over to him. “I have an idea.”He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a phone. He unlocked it and smiled.“What idea?” Blake asked.“I don’t want Victor to know that he is dead,” Nick said and put the phone in his pocket. “He will send somebody else, or he will come by himself. We can pretend to be Calvin and stall him.”“How the hell will you pretend?” I frowned. “Do you imitate voices now?”Nick rolled his eyes. “No. I will only text him. Make an excuse as to why I can’t talk.”“It could buy us a little time,” Jacob said as he ran a hand through his hair.“It will,” N

    Gabriel’s POVI stepped out of the shower and sighed contently. I was happy that I was finally able to wash that fucker’s blood off of me.I quickly dried myself and put on clothes.I walked downstairs and saw that all the guys were already in the kitchen. The girls weren’t here yet.Blake and Jacob were sitting down at the table, looking around the kitchen. Nick was making coffee, his back turned to me.“Where is Aria?” I asked as I sat down at the table.“Shower,” Nick said, not turning back to look at me.“Nice house, man,” Blake said. “And the protection spell is awesome.”“Thank you,” I said, with a huge grin..“Are we safe here?” Jacob asked me.Nick walked over to the table and gave Jacob and Blake their cups of coffee before walking back to the counter.“For now,” I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. “We didn’t leave just to find Patricia. We also ran away because of the hunters. But I couldn’t think of a safer place for Aria right now.”Nick sat down beside me and handed

    Gabriel’s POVI watched Jacob pull Aria outside.My breathing was shallow, and I clenched my fists. What the fuck is she thinking?I stormed out of the kitchen and saw Nick pacing in the living room.He raised his head as soon as he heard me.“Where is she?” he growled.“Outside with Jacob,” I said and leaned on the doorframe.He growled and continued pacing around.“What the fuck is wrong with her?” he growled.“She is done, Nick,” I said. “No more talking to him.”“How can you be sure?” he shouted and raised his hands. “She has been talking to him for Goddess knows how long, and we never knew.”“I will block him from her phone,” I shrugged. “I will watch her. I don’t care if she gets mad. I will do what I have to.”I heard the back door open. Aria and Jacob walked back inside and continued preparing dinner.“She will be the death of me,” Nick sighed and ran his hand through his hair.“Calm down a bit,” I said. “Vampires will be here soon.”He growled and sat down on the couch.

  • My Unexpected Mate   The Cabin

    Gabriel’s POVI was driving behind Mike and Jacob. Nick was sitting beside me. Aria and Annie were in the back seat. We left my house early and we should be getting to Mike’s cabin pretty soon.With all the moving around we have done in the past couple of days, none of us had to pack much. Most of our stuff was already packed, so we managed to leave the house quickly.Aria was angry at me and Nick. She was sitting with her arms crossed over her chest, and she was hardly speaking to us.“Will you please talk to me?” I said angrily.I watched Aria through the rearview mirror. She had barely spoken to me the whole morning.“I am talking to you,” she said quietly.“That’s the longest sentence I’ve heard from you since yesterday,” I said, frowning.“What happened?” Annie interrupted. “Why are you fighting?”“We are not fighting,” Aria said, turning to look at Annie.“We found out about Ian,” Nick said, growling.Annie’s eyes snapped to Aria, but she didn’t seem surprised.I narrowed my eye

    Gabriel’s POVI watched Aria and Cassie walk away.“Is she okay?” Blake asked.“Yes,” Nick sighed. “We had a small disagreement.”“We heard you growl,” Blake smirked.“Oh, that was directed at Gabriel, not her,” Nick chuckled.“What did you do?” Blake asked me and laughed.“I made a stupid suggestion,” I shrugged.Nick chuckled and shook his head.“Okay, enough about us,” I said and sat down on the couch. “We need to talk about Patricia.”“Do you have a plan?” Jake asked me.“Not really,” I sighed. “That’s why I wanted to talk to all of you. We need to find her.”“I have a suggestion,” Annie said.“Let’s hear it,” Nick said as he placed his elbows on his knees.“Well, I have been talking to Jack and Mike,” Annie explained. “Jack is an excellent tracker. He suggested that we leave and try to find Patricia while the rest of you stay here and practice magic.”“What do you mean, we?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her.“Mike, Jack, and I,” she explained.I frowned.

    Gabriel’s POVWe were sitting in the kitchen, chatting with Annie while she made dinner.Nick was frowning.“What’s wrong?” I asked and took a sip of my beer.“I don’t know,” he sighed. “My feelings are a mess.”“It is probably because of everything that is happening with Victor,” Annie said and turned to look at him.“I guess,” Nick said as he ran his hand through his hair.“Do you need help?” I asked Annie.“No,” she smiled and turned back to continue making dinner.Suddenly, Nick bolted out of his chair and his eyes went black.“Nick?” I called him quietly.“Aria,” he growled and started running upstairs.I ran after him and followed him to Cassie’s room. He opened the door and growled loudly.Aria was sitting in Jacob’s lap, his arms wrapped tightly around her. She was crying.“What the hell is going on?” I said angrily.“Get your fucking hands off of my mate,” Nick growled.Why the hell was she crying? And why was she sitting on his lap? Nick was going to kill him. He was seconds

    Gabriel’s POV“Will you stop pacing around?” Annie sighed. “You are driving me crazy.”I just couldn’t calm down. I wanted to talk to Aria. Apologize and explain. But I could feel Nate was on edge and nothing good would come of my insisting on staying in the room with them.So, I went downstairs into the kitchen with the intention of helping Annie with dinner. But I couldn’t focus and ended up almost burning the sauce she was making. She almost threw me out of the kitchen.“I am just nervous,” I mumbled.“She is fine,” Annie said. “I am surprised she lasted this long.”“What do you mean?” I asked, my eyes narrowing.“I would have broken down much, much sooner,” Annie said and turned to look at me. “I am amazed at how she managed to keep it all together.”She was right. Aria’s whole life turned out to be one big, fat lie. She was in danger. She was scared. And she never complained. She never told us. She had been keeping all of that inside. Until she couldn’t anymore.“You are right,”

    Gabriel’s POV“Come on, Aria, focus,” I said as I grabbed her hands in mine. “You can do it.”She sighed and closed her eyes. I could see her reaching for the source of her power. We had been practicing for the last three days and she was getting better. She could now project emotions, but she still had trouble with focusing them on a single person. She brought us all down yesterday when she projected pain.“Can you feel my aura?” I asked her. “Can you feel my warmth?”“Yes,” she mumbled with her eyes still closed.“Good,” I said. “We all have our auras. We all have different levels of warmth. You need to differentiate it. Separate us from one another and focus only on one of us. Try focusing on me. Feel me.”Her eyebrows scrunched together, and her hands squeezed mine.“Try focusing on what you feel for me,” I told her. “Don’t create an emotion. Project your own feelings. That should be easier to do.”She took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. A few minutes passed, but I felt no e

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

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.

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

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

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

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
