CHAPTER 51

GABRIEL

I hate that Mia is in that state and there is nothing I can do about it. Just pacing back and forth of this room and the only thing I can think of is how I can just be there for her.

I'm still pacing back and forth like a caged wolf when Caleb walks in, his face serious. The moment I see that look, I know I'm not going to like what comes next. "Gabriel," he starts, and I brace myself for impact, "I went to talk to the Council of Luna and Alpha. They're insisting the meeting is tomorrow. They demand your presence, or they'll rule in Alpha Leo's favor."

I stop dead in my tracks, feeling like I've just been punched in the gut. "What?" I explode, my voice echoing off the walls. "They can't do that! Mia's in the hospital, for heaven's sake!"

Caleb holds up his hands, trying to be the calm in my storm. "I know, I know. But they're not budging. It's like they've already made up their minds."

I start pacing again, faster this time, my rage building with every step. "This i

    ALPHA LEOToday's the day, the kind of day that feels like it's been written in the stars. The plan? Oh, it's simple, really. With Gabriel off to play knight in shining armor at some council meeting, Mia's left all alone. Vulnerable. Perfect timing, if you ask me. But then, nobody really does ask me, do they?"Kyle, you're about as useful as a chocolate teapot," I mutter, rolling my eyes. Kyle's my right-hand man, or at least he's supposed to be. Lately, he's been more of a shaking leaf than a steadfast oak. Why can’t I get a more competent Beta like the one other Alphas are having, I am stuck with Kyle."She just gave birth, and her pregnancy was high risk. The baby is still in the incubator," Kyle says, wringing his hands like he's trying to squeeze water from a stone. His worry is evident and frankly, it's irritating.I lean back in my chair, steepling my fingers. "Kyle, my dear boy, have you ever heard the saying, 'Fortune favors the bold'?" I ask, though it's more rhetorical than

  • THE LYCAN KING AND THE SLAVE   COURT DAY

    GABRIELWalking into the courtroom felt like stepping into a boxing ring where the punches were legal jargon and the audience was a bunch of stony-faced council members. Caleb was by my side, looking like he’d rather be anywhere else. Can’t blame him; I felt the same.There they were, Alpha Leo and his trusty sidekick Kyle, standing like they owned the place. I braced myself for the inevitable.“Gabriel,” Leo greeted, his smile as fake as a three-dollar bill.“Leo,” I replied, my tone flat. Pleasantries with this guy felt like hugging a cactus.Kyle nodded at us, his smirk wide. “Nice of you to finally show up. Thought you’d chicken out.”Caleb snorted. “As if we’d ever give you the satisfaction.”The pleasantries were rapidly deteriorating, like ice cream in the sun.“So, ready to hand over Mia?” Leo asked, his voice smooth as silk but with a venom that could kill.I clenched my fists, feeling my inner wolf bristle. “Over my dead body.”Leo’s laugh was cold. “That can be arranged.”C

    ALPHA LEOI spotted Kyle milling around during the recess, looking like a lost puppy. Perfect. I stride over, my steps measured, my mind already three moves ahead."Kyle," I start, keeping my voice low, "you're off the hook for round two."He whips around, his face a mask of betrayal and anger. "What? You don't trust me to stand by your side? You think I'm weak, don't you?"I can't help the smirk that plays on my lips. Grabbing him by the collar, I pull him close, our noses almost touching. "Never raise your voice at me again," I hiss, letting my alpha aura seep into the air, thick and heavy. But then, I ease up, a smile cracking my stern facade. "But, I'll give you this; you've got guts talking to me like that."Kyle's eyes narrow, confused and wary. "What's this about, Leo?""Because, my impulsive friend, I've got a job that requires your... unique touch." I release him, stepping back, watching the cogs turn in his head.His posture shifts, interest piqued. "I'm listening.""Good,"

    GABRIELI'm pacing outside the council chamber, the weight of impending verdicts pressing down like a heavy fog. Caleb's by my side, looking as if he's gearing up for a fight, which, knowing Caleb, he probably is."You think they bought Leo's act?" I mutter, kicking a pebble across the courtyard. It skitters and stops, a small journey ending too soon, kind of like how I feel right now.Caleb snorts, his gaze fixed on the chamber doors as if he could will them open with sheer annoyance. "Please, that guy could sell ice to an Eskimo. But sell the council on his sudden change of heart? I have my doubts."I can't help a bitter laugh. "Yeah, from tyrant to saint in one courtroom drama. Should've brought popcorn."Caleb chuckles, then turns to me, his expression sobering. "But seriously, Gabe, what's our play if they side with him? We can't just hand Mia over like she's... property."The mere thought has my blood boiling, visions of Leo's smug face fueling my rage. "Over my dead body," I sa

    MIA"So, how long will this trial thing take?" I ask, trying to keep the edge of desperation out of my voice. I need Gabriel here, not just for me, but for our son too.Kiara shrugs, a sympathetic smile playing on her lips. "Could be hours, Mia. Court stuff, you know? It's always a bit of a circus."I huff, dropping onto the bed next to her. "A circus I wish we had popcorn for. At least then we could enjoy the show."Kiara laughs, and I can't help but join in. It's a brief moment of levity in what feels like an endless sea of worry.After a moment, I bite my lip, hesitating. "Kiara... I want to see him. My son."Her expression softens, and she nods, standing up. "Of course, let's go."We make our way to the neonatal unit, my heart pounding with every step. As we approach the incubator where my son lies, I feel a mix of awe and fear. He's so tiny, so fragile-looking, hooked up to machines that beep and whir in a steady rhythm.Kiara points to the incubator, her voice a whisper. "There

    GABRIELThe moment Kiara mentioned Kyle's name, it was like someone lit a fuse inside me. I could feel my blood boiling, my heart racing with a fury I hadn't known before. Kyle, that sneaky, backstabbing wolf tied to Alpha Leo. Of course, it had to be him."Kyle?" I repeated, my voice low, a growl threading through each syllable. "You're sure it was him?"Kiara nodded, her eyes wide, reflecting a mix of fear and determination. "Yes, Gabriel. I know it was him. I've seen him with Alpha Leo before. There's no mistaking that smug look on his face."I started pacing back and forth, my mind racing a mile a minute. Every foul word in the book started pouring out of my mouth like a broken dam. "That... that absolute... how dare he come into my territory and touch my family!" I spat out the words, each one dripping with venom.Caleb, who'd been standing quietly to the side, finally chimed in, trying to be the voice of reason in my storm of rage. "Gabriel, we need a plan.

    GABRIELAlpha Leo had just left the room, leaving a silence so thick you could cut it with a knife. Or, in my case, with a poorly timed joke."Mia," I started, trying to keep my voice steady. "Can we talk? Like, really talk?"She crossed her arms, eyeing me like I was a puzzle missing a few too many pieces. "Talk? Gabriel, you've done enough talking for two lifetimes."I scratched the back of my neck, a nervous habit I picked up somewhere between adolescence and becoming an alpha. "Yeah, but this time, I promise, no jokes about your cooking.""That's not funny, Gabriel.""See? I'm learning."Mia sighed, the kind of sigh that said, 'I'm about to drop a bomb on you, and not the fun, glittery kind.' "Gabriel, I don't love you. It's over."I blinked, once, twice, maybe a dozen times. "Over? Like, 'see you after dinner' over, or like, 'cancelled TV subscription' over?""Gabriel, I'm serious."I took a step forward, a smile still playing on my lips despite the sinking feeling in my stomach.

    LALEHSeeing Gabriel all broken up was like spotting a rare, exotic bird in my backyard—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I wasn't about to let it fly away without at least trying to make it sing. So, I smoothed down my dress, practiced my most sympathetic smile in the mirror (not too pitiful, not too eager), and made my way to him.Poor, heartbroken Gabriel, so lost and vulnerable. Perfect for a little comfort from Laleh."Gabriel," I cooed, my voice dripping with a concoction of sympathy and sweetness. "I heard about what happened. I'm so sorry."He looked up, his eyes a stormy sea of emotions. "Laleh," he acknowledged, his voice a mix of surprise and something else. Weariness, maybe?I sat beside him, close but not too close. "I can't imagine how you must feel," I said, laying a hand on his arm. The muscles beneath his skin tensed, but he didn't pull away. A good sign."It's... complicated," he muttered, staring into the distance, lost in thought."Oh, I know, darling," I repli

    MiaWatching Gabriel and our son Max playing in the yard, laughter filling the air, brought a sense of peace and contentment I'd never known before. Max, with his father's eyes and my stubbornness, was a living symbol of our love and all we'd overcome. It was moments like these that made all the struggles worth it."Remember when we thought dealing with rogue wolves was a challenge?" I said, leaning against the doorframe, a smile playing on my lips.Gabriel looked up, a grin spreading across his face as he scooped Max into his arms, making our son giggle with delight. "How could I forget? And let's not start on Alpha Leo and Laleh."I walked over, joining them in the grass, the memories of our past battles weaving through my mind like an epic tale. "It's been quite the journey, hasn't it? From enemies to lovers, from battles to peace."Gabriel set Max down, who immediately began chasing a butterfly, his laughter a melody in the afternoon air. "It's been more than a journey, Mia. It's

    CHAPTER 77GABRIELStanding at the altar, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face if I tried. The sun was shining, the birds were probably doing whatever birds do when they're happy, and I was about to marry Mia. I glanced over to my best man, Caleb, who gave me a thumbs up. I rolled my eyes. Trust Caleb to turn a solemn moment into a scene from a buddy comedy.Then, there she was, Mia, looking like she'd just stepped out of a dream. My heart did a funny little dance, the kind that would have embarrassed me if anyone could see it. The music started, and she began walking down the aisle. I swear, everything else just blurred into the background. It was just Mia and me, in our little bubble.As she got closer, I whispered to myself, "Don't trip, don't trip." Not the most romantic thought, but hey, I'm only a man.Mia finally reached me, and her smile said, "I heard that," without her speaking a word. We turned to face the person officiating our ceremony, and everything was perfect. Right u

  • THE LYCAN KING AND THE SLAVE   PLEASURE AND LOVE

    GABRIELI woke up to the feeling of Mia’s soft body pressed against me, her back fitting snugly against my front. My arm was secured around her waist in a tight grip and my face was buried in her soft, luscious hair. A pleasant feeling went through me as she made a sound in her throat and relaxed further into me. This was definitely the best sleep I’ve had in a long time, especially since I’ve been so stressed and busy.My chest did a double skip at the sight of us in the comfort of each other’s arms, looking like a normal, picture perfect couple. But we were both far from perfect. We both had our issues and that was what made us human. That was what made us complement each other perfectly—like fire and ice, Yin and Yang.My heart filled with warmth as I realized that I had fallen for Mia—undoubtedly and unintentionally— and this time much harder than I had ever fallen for anyone.At that exact moment, the thought of Kiara made its way back to my mind. The lines seemed blurred, as I h

    GabrielMia walked in, her steps soft against the floor. I could feel the tension she carried, like a heavy cloak draped around her. She sat beside me, her presence a comforting warmth."Mia," I started, not sure how to broach the subject of Caleb and Kiara. It had been gnawing at me, eating away the peace I so desperately sought in our sanctuary.She turned to me, her eyes searching mine. "Gabriel, we need to talk about Caleb and Kiara," she said, her voice steady but gentle.I sighed, a deep, weary sound. "I've told them both, Mia. I've made it clear. They went behind my back, against my wishes."Mia took my hand, her grip firm. "I know, Gabriel. I know you're hurt. But think about it, love. They found something in each other, something rare. Can't we, shouldn't we, be happy for them?"I wanted to resist, to hold onto my anger and betrayal, but the earnestness in Mia's voice, the genuine concern in her eyes, it made the walls I'd built start to crumble."They disobeyed me, Mia.

    GabrielI walked very close to her, toe to toe, and she looked straight up into my eyes expectantly. I lifted her bag up to her between our bodies purposely brushing the valley between her tits with my hand. "I rescued your dignity from Kiara." I showed her the bikini top and told her about the conversation that had occurred between him and me, letting her in on the cover story. I patted her ass and told her, "Your secret remains safe with me."She wrapped her arms around me in a hug and mashed her globes against my sternum. My hand was wonderfully trapped in her cleavage. I dropped the bag and kicked it to the side. I wiggled my hand around to cop a feel of one tit while my other hand gripped her firm ass. "My savior", she said into my chest. My Cock started to prod her stomach. She tilted her head back closed her eyes and pursed her lips. I leaned down and kissed her on the mouth. At the moment this encounter was about to turn that corner I wanted to reach, inopportunity knocked

    MIAI can't believe Gabriel and I are finally talking about our mating ceremony. It feels like a dream, one I've been scared to wake up from. But here we are, sitting on the edge of our bed, the moonlight casting a soft glow through the window, making everything feel a bit magical."So, what do you think?" Gabriel breaks the silence, his voice pulling me back from my thoughts. "Big ceremony or something more intimate?"I chew on my bottom lip, considering. Part of me craves the intimacy of a small gathering, just us and our closest friends and family. But another part, the part that's still a little girl at heart, wants the fairy tale. "Can we find a middle ground? Not too big, but not too small. I want it to feel special, but I also want it to be us."Gabriel smiles, his eyes lighting up in a way that makes my heart flutter. "That sounds perfect. Just like you."I roll my eyes, but I can't hide the blush that creeps up my cheeks. "We need to decide on a date," I say, trying to steer

    CHAPTER 72ALPHA LEOI paced back and forth in my private chamber, my thoughts a raging storm. The audacity of Mia's escape, taking Diana along, gnawed at me like a persistent wound. Kyle stood at the edge, his posture too relaxed for my liking, watching me with those eyes that always seemed too calm."We need to bring Diana back. And Mia," I declared, the words slicing through the tense air. "They think they can just leave, undermine my authority? It's unacceptable."Kyle shifted, finally breaking his silence. "Leo, maybe it's time to let this go. Focus on the pack. They need stability, not more chaos."Let it go? The suggestion inflamed me, fueling the fire that raged within. "Let it go?" I repeated, my voice rising, a growl threading through the words. "You think I should just forget the betrayal? They made me look weak, Kyle. Weak!"He took a cautious step forward, a mistake. "It's not about weakness, Leo. It's about choosing your battles. This obsession with getting them back—it'

    UntitledGabriel and I have found a habit of seeing each other in the other room because of Max. I didn't like keeping our relationship a secret but right now, but we just got back together and Alpha Leo is still grieved, that was the only way we could be with each other. He came into my room this night like he has been doing all through out.I lost every sense of reasoning when I gazed at him and trailed his eyes, he was staring at my breast, I wasn't wearing any bra and my nipple lines were visible from my silky dress."Just call my name," he muttered to me, his voice was hoarse and you can see how he longed for me. I was trying to fight every will in me to say no, no to him pinning me to the wall and having my body press to his. "Gabriel," I whispered and that was the tipping point for us, he took my lips into his, kissing me hungrily. He lifted me and placed me on top of the counter, While our lips parted for a split second to breathe, it was just like going underwater and com

    CHAPTER 70MIASitting by the poolside under the blanket of stars, the night air was cool and filled with the soft sounds of water lapping at the edges. Gabriel and I had found a quiet moment, a peaceful break from the chaos that seemed to constantly swirl around us. It was moments like these I cherished, where we could just be Mia and Gabriel, not Alpha and Luna or warriors in a never-ending battle."You know," Gabriel started, breaking the comfortable silence that had settled between us, "I've missed this. Just talking. It feels like it's been forever since we've had a moment of peace."I smiled, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Yeah, life's been a bit of a whirlwind, hasn't it?" The understatement of the century, really. Between battles, secrets, and heartaches, 'whirlwind' was putting it mildly.He scooted closer, his arm brushing against mine, sending a familiar shiver down my spine. "I've missed you, Mia. More than I thought possible."Hearing him say that, so open
