The Chosen Chapter Twenty One
Pulling back his fists, Tristan snarled. "No!" I screamed."Stop now!" Tristan stopped mid-movement at my order. I could hear his growls as he struggled against my words. It was as if someone had a hold of his body, commanding him to stop. That's when I realised I had just done what Gabriel had done to others before. His orders now applied to me since I was his chosen.Turning to me with a growl, Tristan tried to move but again was unable to. "Let the order go, Luna. He deserves to be torn to shreds." Tristan continued to growl against the invisible restraints on him, as Gabriel moved towards his beta."Calm down!" Gabriel's snarl sent shivers through my spine. Even a few of the men behind the chief cowered at the order.Walking towards the chief and Matthew, Gabriel's shoulders flexed. His muscles almost seemed as if they were shaking with every step he took. "Your title of the chief is now revoked for imprisoning your Luna, and questioning my ruling."Turning to Matthew, Gabriel's l

Watching Father collect all of his weapons, my heart began to pound wildly within my chest. It had been doing this since early this morning, and the more it continued, the more I started to wonder if it was trying to tell me something. Since the Choosing I've continued to have this feeling, almost like something terrible was coming that I wouldn't be able to control.A lot had happened since that day. Gabriel let me come home giving me a choice to follow him or not. The women in the town that attended the choosing began to die from the cursed ones, causing the village to go into a panic. I was labelled a traitor for not going with Gabriel and thrown into a cell. Thinking back to all these things, I did not realise I never really fit in here. If what Gabriel said about the majority of the town being wolves was right, I truly felt everything was a lie.The sound of metal hitting the floor had me jumping out of my thoughts. Snapping my eyes to Father's still prone figure, I watched his h

I stared at Gabriel as I processed the words he just said. I could see his mouth moving as he carefully made his way towards me, but I couldn't hear anything. Everything was white noise to me. Blinking, I stumbled towards the door."Take me to him," I whispered, as I staggered in my steps. Stopping his movement towards me, Gabriel gazed down at me as if he hadn't heard anything."Take me to him now! He needs me." I yelled."Follow me." Came his sudden rough voice.Keeping up with Gabriel as we made our way through the large cabin, my mind raced on all the possible ways he had been poisoned. I couldn't understand why someone would want to kill him. Father had done nothing wrong. Clenching my fists, I felt the anger surge through me. It almost felt like it wanted to take over my body, but as I took a deep breath, a sudden wave of calm took over its place.Holding my hand, Gabriel gave it a gentle squeeze. "I will find who did this, Annabelle... and when I do, I'll make sure they suffer

Days had passed since my father's death. With each day, I found the anger building and the want for revenge seeped deeper into my veins. I found myself lashing out at the servants, and the lack of having Gabriel around only seemed to heighten my anger.I missed him and yearned to be near him, to touch him, but as quick as the thoughts broke in my mind, anger took over its place almost instantly.Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows in Gabriel's room, I watched the sun break over the horizon. Its soft pinks and yellows almost thawed out my frozen veins, as a rare small smile graced my lips. Opening the window, the soft breeze gently brushed against the silk of the silver dress I was wearing.I had found it on the bed this morning, a small note in its place. The dress was picked by Gabriel. Why he couldn't give it to me in person, had my veins filling with anger once more. Shaking the thoughts from my mind, I decided to leave the room for the first time since my fathe

Staring at Gabriel with wide, panicked eyes, I watched as his eyes continued to shift from his dark brown eyes to the silver that always had my heart racing. His nostrils flared with each deep breath he took, only adding to my excitement. Every small intake of air that passed through my lips had his ears twitching as if he was waiting for me to say something.Licking my lips, I turned to Mrs Knoll. "I don't understand." My voice was soft, almost like a whisper, but I knew everyone in the field would've been able to hear it."If I had to take a guess, it would be because your chosen is an Alpha." She said. Gently placing her hand on my lower back, Mrs Knoll directed me to the shade of the trees. Although her words were calming, I still couldn't help but feel something wasn't adding up. Why was my scent suddenly changing if I had been with Gabriel for a little while? Something just wasn't adding up to me.Surely there had to be something else that was going on. Turning my head slightly,

I stared at Matt as pain pulsed through my shoulder. I didn't understand what was happening. Gritting my teeth, I tightened my hand around the arrow in my shoulder. "I told you I would kill you if I saw you again." Came Matthew's reply.Groaning in pain, I turned to the woman in the room. The longer I gazed at her, the more familiar she became. Panting through the pain, I groaned once more. "Who are you?"A small pout graced her lips. Taking a small step closer towards me, I watched as a small smile replaced the frown on her face. "I thought you would at least recognise your mother, Annabelle."Frowning, I shook my head. There was no way this woman was my mother. My mother abandoned my father and me. She left us with nothing. "I don't have a mother... no mother would abandon her child for her greed."A flash of hurt crossed her face before it hardened with a scowl. "You know nothing.""I know enough to know you are no mother to me." I snapped.Nodding, she smirked. "Very well."Before

The sounds of snarls and growls filled the forest, with smaller animals scurrying out of our way and into safety. My heart pounded in my chest as I chased after Sharlee in her wolf form. The sound of my paws hitting the ground along with my panting filled my ears, as my senses began to pick up on things I had never heard before. I could hear rabbits running as we neared, along with birds chirping in the trees off in the distance as faint growling behind me seemed to get closer and closer.The more I focused on the sounds around me, the more my head began to hurt. It was as if someone had taken fathers hammer and repeatedly pounded on the side of my head. Shaking my head, a small growl fell from my lips before I pushed my legs to run faster. Dodging and jumping over trees, we found ourselves back at the lake.Turning to me, Sharlee changed back into her human form. Holding her hands up high, she sighed. "You need to listen to me!" she said with panicked eyes. It was almost as if she wa

Staring at Gabriel with wide eyes, I watched as his face became red. His eyes flashed from bright silver back to their dull ones, with each deep breath he took. With each rise and fall of his chest, I feared his beast would take control.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I took a careful step towards my chosen. Reaching out a shaky hand, I flinched as a deep growl slipped from Gabriel's throat, and his eyes snapped to my hand. As if realising what he had done, Gabriel sighed before pulling me into his arms. Resting my ear against his chest, I felt my heart falter as his bet widely."I won't let them take you, Anna." Kissing the top of my head, a small growl fell from his lips.Gripping the side of his waist, scenarios of what could happen to the people I knew sent shivers down my spine. "I can't have our people dying because of me," I whispered.Pulling back just enough so his eyes connected with mine, I watched as they swirled with different hues of grey. I knew he was angry by the w

The Chosen Forty One
Sorry for the short chapter!Gabriel’s words rang through my head. Let’s hope not, yet I knew the answer to it. They had to have something to do with the man I had been seeing in my dreams. Why else would they suddenly be showing up around here? Regardless of this notion, I knew I would need to demand answers the next time I saw the man. If he could speak to me in my dreams, surely, I could communicate with him… but at what cost?Pressing my hands tighter to my flat stomach I wondered if I'd ever be safe enough to have a child. Yes, I was young but the urge to start a family was starting to pound within me. It was as if an unknown source within my soul was driving me.“What’s the matter?” Came Gabriel’s concerned voice.Glancing up at him, I tried to choose my words carefully. I still was unsure of Gabriel’s views on children, and the last thing I wanted to do was scare him with my urging thoughts. “I was just pondering over something,” I stated.Taking my hand, Gabriel led me towards
The Chosen Fourty
It had been a few days since Ailee left, and everything around the pack seemed to be going smoothly. The members were starting to go outdoors more as a harvest was soon to take place, and the preparations for the Luna announcement were well underway. Walking through the valley towards the market stalls, people seemed to be in high spirits, although, I couldn't help but notice some of the members refused to look my way. had I done something to upset them? or was it because they still didn't trust me after everything that had happened? I could understand their anger with our choices but, I only hoped that they would soon begin to see the reasoning behind them. "Excuse me miss." Came a soft voice. Turning my attention to where the voice came from, I noticed a small girl standing before me. Wearing a soft yellow dress that fell to her knees, a small smile graced my lips at her cute little freckles. "Hello there." I softly said. Bending to her height, I made a mental note of all the peo
The Chosen Thirty Nine
“Annabelle is my chosen.” Growled Gabriel, “So I suggest you treat her with the respect she deserves.”Scoffing, the council member took a small step back. “With all respect, Alpha, she is yet to be crowned as Luna for our people.”“Is that so?” Growling, Gabriel’s eyes began to glow. If someone didn’t step in soon, I knew things were going to escalate to a place we wouldn’t be able to control. Clearing my throat I took Gabriel’s hand in mine. Feeling the tingles run up my arm and his hand relax within my grasp; I knew my plan had worked.“you're right, councilor.” I said, “I agree that I am yet to be crowned, but as Gabriel’s chosen mate I do expect respect from every one of you.” Releasing Gabriel’s hand, I took a step closer to the man in front of me. “Unless you wish to make an enemy of me, Councilor Grover.” I knew using his name would get my message across. After all, I assumed these men thought I had no clue who they were.Frowning, Grover took a step back with a small bow of h
The Chosen Thirty Eight
Frowning at Gabriel I couldn’t help but notice his eyes were trained behind me. Glancing over my shoulder I spotted one of Gabriel’s warriors standing there with his head down. His stance was stiff as if he was waiting for an attack at any minute, and the longer I gazed at him the more I noticed something familiar with him. Turning my attention to Gabriel I narrowed my eyes at him. “I don’t need to be watched.” Gabriel sighed as he moved towards me. “I need to know you’ll be safe, Annabelle.” “I am safe.” I insisted but I knew he could see right through me. Of course, he could, how couldn’t he? Since mating with him everything I felt he could too, and that meant he knew that I was hiding something from him. As if sensing my realisation, Gabriel nodded at the young warrior before the sound of the door closing filled my ears. We were alone and I knew exactly what was coming. “Tell me what happened last night.” There was, a question I didn’t want to answer. I wasn’t sure exactly what
The Chosen Thirty Seven
Listening to his heartbeat calmed my racing mind. Who was the man in my dreams, and why was he calling out to me? There seemed to be this strange pull, and if I was being honest with myself, it scared me. The only person I felt this way with was Gabriel. Closing my eyes I thought back to the man I had seen. He seemed so familiar to me yet he seemed to have some sort of danger about him. “Come to me, my red rose.” Whispered a voice. Startled by the sudden voice, I gazed around the room as if the young man would appear from within the darkness. “What has you so distracted, my love?” Came Gabriel’s husky voice. Glancing up at him, I couldn’t help but become in awe of him. Even with his sleep-tousled hair, he was handsome. Smiling, I shook my head. “Just a bad dream,” I whispered, loud enough for him to hear. Wrapping an arm around my waist, Gabriel tugged me closer. “If it helps, you can talk about it?” Rubbing my back, Gabriel moved closer till there was no space left between us. Coul
The Chosen Thirty Six
Staring at Gabriel in shock, I couldn’t help but wonder if he had lost his mind. I understood we had to do something about Ailee, but to banish her was not something I thought he would do. To banish his blood and watch her walk off into the forest, would be sentencing her to death regardless. Taking a deep breath, I mulled over his words. “If you do this Gabriel, there’s no turning back. The council members won’t allow you to bring her back.” Nodding Gabriel walked towards me. “I have no other choice, Annabelle.” As if someone had set off a fire within me, a small idea popped into my head. “Maybe we do have another, choice,” I whispered. Frowning, Gabriel gazed down at me. “What do you mean?” “What if we say we’re banishing her, but find somewhere safe for her to live? Have her set up in an area where no council member would look for her. If we don’t, she will die out there and I don’t want you to have that on your shoulders.” I said. As if understanding the pain he would go throu

The lights from the candles flickered off the temple walls, casting shadows along the dented coble stone. It was as if the shadows were dancing a dance for the devil, calling to him in song. As humming began to fill the hall, a strong smell of blood filled the air almost causing the shadows to dance faster. On their hands and knees, men in red hooded robes lined the aisle that led to a coffin. Each one of the men was slowly bobbing their heads up and down, as the chanting became louder. Laid carefully down the aisle, sat a blood-red carpet with gold trimmings, and as the light hit it at the right angle it looked as if it was flowing. Walking into the large hall, a smirk graced the older male's face. With each step he took down the aisle, the men who knelt along its edges trembled. They feared him. They feared the power he possessed and the reputation he held. His was Satan himself, powerful and full of evil. His blood-red eyes were solely fixated on the coffin at the end of the aisl

The Chosen Thirty Three
The further I walked into the forest, the more I noticed a foul smell emitting from the trees and the soil the roots connected to. Every tree I passed smelt of rotting flesh and mould. It was a smell I had only ever smelt once in Matthew's father's shop and when my mother had shown up in front of me. It was as if the area was filled with dead animals, the bodies waiting to decompose back into the earth. With each step I took, I felt bile rise into my throat, as swallowing slowly became harder."You've made it easy for me, Anna." Came Ailee's comment. "I thought I'd have to kidnap you..." She said. Her voice was low, as her head moved from side to side as if her eyes were watching the forest around us. "The cursed ones were willing to crash your little ceremony to take you away... so thank you for making it easier for us."Glaring at the back of her head, I wanted nothing more than to hit her. The urge to cause her harm outweighed the want to run back to Gabriel. Lifting my head higher
