Gabriel POVLovette answered on the first ring.“Have you found her?” She asked in a rush“No. But I know where she is and who is involved in the act” I told her.She let out a sigh of frustration “Who is it? Tell me, Gabriel! Let’s go rescue her from the hands of those monsters” “It’s your father’s handwork,” I told her Lovette was silent for a few moments before reacting. "What do you mean it's my father's doing?“It is, he told me himself”“Why would he do such a thing?" she asked, her voice shaking with anger and betrayal.“Well, we have to go to the police and report him!” She shouted.“I don't think that's a good idea. Your father has connections, he'll make sure she stays hidden," I said, trying to keep my voice calm."Then what do we do?" Lovette asked, desperation creeping into her voice.“He said we need to strike a deal with him first” “A deal?" Lovette repeated, her voice shaking. "What kind of deal?"“I get married to you and give him 50% of my business” Lovette was s
Lovette POVWe all looked to Celeste for guidance and I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that she was here to help.“I know this is a difficult time for you, Lovette,” Celeste said, placing a hand on my shoulder. “But I promise we will get through it together.”So this is what will happen, guys," Celeste said, her voice resolute. "We are still going to have to go with what your father wants."Gabriel looked at me with concern, knowing that it doesn't sit well with me."We have the power to just storm in wherever her mother is being kept," Celeste continued her voice filled with determination. "But I would advise that we don't risk doing that. They might be with a weapon, who knows? We wouldn’t want them to kill her mother."“You are right at this point, my father can order his men to do whatever he likes just so things can go his way”“So what do you suggest we do?” Gabriel asked.“You will get married to Lovette” Celeste said firmly“What?? We told you we were against that pl
Lovette’s povAs much as I hated my father, the spa treatment was what I needed right now. He already booked a couple sessions at the spa on our behalf. Gabriel and I made our way to the spa. As soon as I entered the spa, I felt a wave of calm wash over me. The sound of trickling water and the gentle scent of lavender filled my senses, and I knew that I was in for a truly relaxing experience.I walked over to the front desk and the receptionist welcomed us with a warm smile. She handed us our robes and slippers and directed us to the changing rooms. Gabriel and I both changed into our robes, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for the luxurious fabric against my skin. We made our way to the relaxation lounge, where we were instructed to take a seat and wait for our therapists.As I sat there, surrounded by soft lighting and tranquil music, I felt my mind begin to calm. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, and for the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of peace. My therapi
Ralph’s POVGabriel was getting married to Lovette, and I was supposed to be happy about it? No way. Celeste and Gabriel were the ones exchanging vows, and I couldn't help but feel relieved that it wasn't Lovette. The thought of her pretending to marry Gabriel, even for the sake of a contract, was too much for me to bear. It made me sick to my stomach.Still, I was envious that Gabriel and Lovette got to walk around like a couple and prepare for the wedding.Lovette had been away for two days now, ticking off the fake marriage lists.Neo and Celeste had come to visit me. And right now I was telling them how bothered I was with the whole arrangement.“I just can't believe that my girlfriend is about to get married,” I said, shaking my head.Neo and Celeste sat next to me, trying to calm me down. "You can't be mad at Gabriel, you know that right? It's not even a real wedding," Neo said.I rolled my eyes. "I know that, Neo. And what if they actually fall in love during all of this? Then
Ralph’s POVNumerous men were guarding the place, and any wrong move could result in Lovette losing her mother.We were lucky to have located the warehouse and now we were faced with an obstacle: the heavily guarded warehouse.I surveyed the area, trying to come up with a plan.The men were heavily armed, each one with a menacing expression on his face. They patrolled the perimeter of the warehouse, watching for any signs of trouble. Getting past them would be no easy task."There's no way we can just walk in there," Neo muttered, his fingers flexing at his sides.I turned to Neo, and said, "We need to go in there and get her back. I can't just stand here and watch them hurt her."Neo shook his head, "You know that's not a good idea. We need a plan. Storming in there without one will only result in disaster. Let's wait for backup."I thought of Neo and I shifting into our wolf form and attacking the guards. It was going to be bloody but at least we should survive.Neo knew exactly wha
Lovette POVI was tired of the boys acting like kids every day. It was getting annoying. Celeste and Neo were discussing something that seemed important. While Nyx handled the boys, I made my way over to Celeste.As I approached Celeste and Neo, I could see the seriousness etched on their faces. I was eager to find out what was going on, hoping it would provide a welcome distraction from the antics of the boys.“What is the discussion about? Care to share?” I asked, trying to sound interested“You’re the center of our topic,” Celeste saidMy heart began to race. What could they possibly be discussing about me?“Ralph and I just happened to see where your mother is,” Neo said, breaking the silence that had settled between us.“Why didn't you say anything? How is everyone so calm?” “We need to be careful with whatever we do,” Celeste said.I felt bitter and useless. I needed some space to think. I left their presence and went to a corner to think.Why did life have to be so unfair tow
Lovette POVI needed to find the perfect dress for the occasion. Gabriel offered to come with me to help me pick out a dress, and I accepted his offer.We walked into the dress shop, and I was immediately overwhelmed by the number of dresses on display. I looked around, trying to find the perfect one for the occasion.Suddenly, I spotted a blue silk dress hanging on the rack. I walked over and ran my fingers over the fabric. It was soft and smooth. I knew it was the one.“You like it so much? Try it on, let’s see if it fits” Gabriel suggested.I noticed that he was staring at me with a look of awe on his face."What?" I asked him, feeling a little self-conscious."You look absolutely stunning," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "That dress was made for you."I blushed at his compliment. I turned to the mirror to get a better look, and I had to admit, the dress did look amazing on me. The vibrant blue color brought out the color in my eyes, and the way it hugged my curves made
Lovette’s POV“Just don’t make sure you get carried away in whatever you do,” Gabriel said, his voice low. “That guy over there has been staring at us, his eyes not looking away from us” Gabriel nudged his head towards the left.I turned my head slowly in that direction and saw a hefty-looking guy in black shades. He was standing against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest, and a stern expression on his face. I couldn't help but stare for a moment.Suddenly, he turned his head towards me, and our eyes met. I quickly averted my gaze, feeling uneasy that I had been caught looking at him. I didn't want to give him the wrong impression, especially since he looked like he could take me down with one punch.“I just feel really bad, that after this event, my mother will return to that hell hole,” I said“Everything will be alright. It’s just a matter of time” Gabriel said.I watched as my father strolled down the stage with a smile plastered on his face, radiating confidence and enthus
Lovette’s POVI had noticed that Gabriel was always around Celeste. At first, I brushed it off, thinking that he was just being friendly. But as the days went by, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something more to it.So, I decided to ask him about it."Hey, Gabriel," I said, leaning over to him. "I've noticed that you're always around Celeste. Is there something going on between you two?"Gabriel didn't give me a direct answer. He just smiled and said, "Why do you ask?"I felt a pang of frustration. I had hoped for a straight answer. But before I could say anything, Ralph came up to me and took me away."Lovette, my love," he said, hugging me. "I've missed you. What were you and Gabriel talking about?"I hesitated for a moment but then decided to tell Ralph what was on my mind. "I was just asking Gabriel about Celeste. He's always around her, and I can't help but wonder if there's something going on between them."“I see. But don't worry about it, babe. I'm sure there'
Gabriel’s POVI was a mess. I couldn't bear to see Celeste like this. I paced back and forth in front of her room, my heart beating frantically in my chest. I couldn't focus on anything else, couldn't think of anything else. Every minute that passed felt like an eternity.Nyx had taken her inside the room to perform some healing on her. And I was waiting patiently for the outcome.Every time I passed by the door, I peeked inside, hoping to see some sign of improvement. But each time, it was the same. Celeste lying there, unmoving, while Nyx attended to her.All I could do was wait and pray.Finally, after what felt like hours, the door opened and Nyx emerged from the room, I practically ran towards her. "How is she? Is she going to be okay?" I asked, my voice shaking with fear and desperation.Nyx looked up at me, and her expression was blank. For a moment, I couldn't read her face, and then she spoke, her voice devoid of emotion. "I'm sorry, Gabriel. Celeste didn't make it. She's gon
Lovette’s POVI stumbled backward as Vera lunged at me, her eyes filled with a terrifying hunger. I knew I was no match for her, but I couldn't give up without a fight.I tried to dodge her attacks, but she was too fast, too strong. She grabbed hold of my shirt, and I felt her claws digging into my skin.Where the hell was Gabriel when I needed him?Just when I thought that all hope was lost and I was about to face certain doom, Nyx appeared out of nowhere, her body beginning to contort and shift into a wolf.Vera growled out loud, recognizing Nyx to be her sister. For a moment, I thought Vera was going to back down and give up fighting. But I thought wrongVera was also transforming, her body twisting and convulsing until she too had taken on the shape of a massive wolf.The two of them began to circle each other, growling and snarling in a display of primal aggression. Even though I knew they were once sisters, it was clear that they were now enemies, locked in a deadly struggle th
Gabriel’s POVI stood at the edge of the clearing, watching my pack as they played and hunted. They moved with grace and precision that spoke to their strength and skill. I could feel the pride swell within me, and I knew that it was a feeling that was shared by the rest of the pack. We were a family, and we were growing stronger and healthier every day.Being an alpha wasn't easy, but it was a responsibility that I took seriously.As I turned to leave, I saw Neo approaching me with a frown on his face. As he walked closer, his frown deepened, and I knew something was bothering him. Neo was always talking about his girlfriend, Nyx. He would tell anyone who would listen about how amazing she was and how lucky he felt to have her in his life. But as time went on, it became clear that Neo wasn't just in love with Nyx – he was lovesick for her.Every time Nyx wasn't around, Neo's mood would darken. He would become quiet and withdrawn, lost in his thoughts. He would spend hours staring of
Lovette’s POVI couldn't believe how quickly the school year had gone by. I had been leading the class, acing every test, and putting in countless hours of studying. But all of that hard work was overshadowed by the fear that had gripped our school.It had started innocently enough. A few students were absent on the first day of school, but we all assumed they were just late enrollees. But as the weeks went on, more and more students went missing. It was as if they had vanished into thin air.At first, I tried not to think too much about it. I had my studies to focus on, after all. But the fear and paranoia that was spreading throughout the school were palpable. I could see it in the eyes of my classmates, in the way they moved through the halls, constantly looking over their shoulders.I tried to rationalize it, to come up with some sort of explanation. Maybe they had all transferred to another school, or maybe they had run away from home. But deep down, I knew something was seriousl
Lovette’s POVThat evening, I spent some time with Connor and Tasha. We all sat in the backyard, under the stars, with music playing softly in the background. It was bittersweet, knowing that I was leaving the next day, but also grateful for the time we had together.Connor had prepared my favorite meal, and we all shared stories and laughed together. I knew that I would miss them dearly.As we settled into the comfortable chairs in the backyard, the warm breeze and soft music creating a peaceful atmosphere, Connor asked me how I felt about resuming senior year in high school.I took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment, not entirely sure how to express the mix of emotions I felt about returning to school. "Honestly, it's a bit overwhelming to think about. I mean, I'm excited to see my friends again and finish what I started, but at the same time, I'm nervous about the workload and the pressure of college applications."Connor nodded thoughtfully, his eyes showing understanding. "
Ralph’s POVI couldn't believe it. Lovette had said yes. My heart was bursting with joy as I drove down the street with a silly grin on my face. It was like the sun was shining brighter and the world was a more beautiful place.I was just dying to get home and tell everyone the news. I felt like shouting it from the rooftops. My parents and siblings. They were all going to be so happy for us.I couldn't help but replay the moment Lovette said yes over and over in my mind.Who would have thought that the fake wedding would have worked in my favor? As we drove down the winding road, I turned to Lovette and told her about my vision for our future family. I wanted a simple life, far away from the city, in a small village where everyone knew each other's names and families were close.I shared with her my dreams of having a home filled with love and laughter, where our children could grow up surrounded by nature and the beauty of the outdoors. I wanted them to have the kind of childhood t
Gabriel’s POVAs I stood at the altar, my heart pounding in my chest, I couldn't believe that this moment had finally arrived.My dream was coming true, I would be married to Lovette and no one would be able to take her away from me.The atmosphere was electric with anticipation as the priest delivered his final words. My heart was pounding in my chest as I turned to face my beautiful bride, the love of my life, standing before me in all her radiance. As we moved closer to each other, I could feel the warmth of her hand in mine and the sweet scent of her perfume.The priest's words echoed in my mind, "You may now kiss the bride," and I leaned in to bestow upon her the most passionate kiss I had ever given in my life. In that moment, nothing else existed in the world except her and me, lost in the overwhelming love that we shared.As we kissed, I could feel her lips move in perfect harmony with mine, and the energy of the moment was palpable. Just as I had expected, the lights suddenly
Ralph’s povAfter I lunged at Gabriel, I knew I had messed up. I was angry and frustrated, and I took it out on him. I shouldn't have done that, and I regretted it immediately.But then Gabriel said something that stopped me in my tracks. Lovette was his fiance? I couldn't believe it. It had to be a lie. But the look on Gabriel's face told me otherwise.I turned to her, hoping she would set the record straight. She did not deny what Gabriel saidBut then Gabriel spoke again, his words cutting through the air like a knife. Lovette was his fiance, and they were getting married soon.“I can't believe you attacked him like that,” Lovette said, her voice filled with fury. She turned to Gabriel “I'm so sorry, Gabriel”Gabriel just shrugged it off, but Lovette was not willing to let it go."No, it's not okay. He had no right to put his hands on you like that”, she said, her voice rising.I was at a loss for words. My girlfriend was defending someone she knew I despised. I glanced at Gabriel,
