The Lycan's Mate 08. Shattered Trust
[Rachel's POV] Gabriel called a cab for us, and as he touched me, I felt a tingle of excitement. I sat in the backseat, holding his hand tightly. His touch was warm and comforting, making me want to be close to him and understand the mysteries in his eyes. During the cab ride, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. I looked at Gabriel, who seemed calm but determined. I didn't know where he was taking me, unaware of his world of lycans and the secrets that filled their lives. When the cab stopped, my heart raced as I saw the sign for the jazz club called Harmony Haven. I got out of the cab and saw the dimly lit entrance, with the sound of saxophones in the air. Gabriel held my hand tightly, leading me inside where a magical world awaited us. The moment we stepped into the club, I fell in love with the cozy atmosphere. The soft candlelight created a warm glow over the small tables. The beautiful music surrounded us, making my heart beat in rhythm with it, as if it was telling me s

[Rachel's POV] I found myself standing alone in a lively jazz club, surrounded by the sights and sounds of people enjoying themselves. My eyes remained fixed on the spot where Gabriel had left me, feeling a mix of anticipation and worry. The club seemed to grow quieter, as if the music and laughter were fading into the background, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Questions started to creep into my mind, casting doubts on Gabriel's sudden departure. Did he not consider me important enough to stay by my side? I couldn't help but feel a rising unease, as if something was amiss. Time dragged on, and the people around me began to shift and move. I could feel their curious glances directed at me, their stares making me uncomfortable. It was as if they were silently judging me, and the weight of their scrutiny settled heavily on my shoulders. The world around me started to blur, and I could barely make out the hushed whispers that reached my ears. A man's voice, dripping with disdain, mu

As I sat in the taxi, my head pressed against the window, I watched the cars pass by, lost in a jumble of emotions. Gabriel's abrupt departure from the club left me hurt and confused. How could he leave me like that? The ache in my heart intensified, and I craved answers that seemed elusive in the chaos of the night. When the taxi arrived at the gates of my family mansion, I paid the driver and walked inside. The guard hurriedly opened the gate, allowing me to enter. Seeking solace, I retreated to my room, desperate to escape the turmoil that consumed me. In the quiet of my room, I stripped off my clothes and took a cold shower. The icy water seemed to wash away the anger and frustration, leaving me feeling raw yet strangely cleansed. Once I was dressed, I returned to my room, where I noticed my phone on the bed, displaying numerous missed calls from Gabriel. I hesitated, unsure if I should call him back and confront him. But doubt and hurt held me back, and I decided against it, pl

[Gabriel's POV] I was lost in a nice dream, enjoying a good sleep when suddenly I felt the shock of cold water splashing all over me. I opened my eyes and found myself face-to-face with three guards, each holding a weird stick-like object. I felt confused as I tried to understand what was happening. "Who are you?" one of the guards demanded, his voice sounding authoritative. I turned away, searching for my phone on the ground. Finally, I saw it and bent down to pick it up, but then one of the guards hit me hard on the head with his stick. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" the guard shouted, showing his anger. I instinctively touched the spot where I was hit, feeling the pain throbbing. "Why did you do that?" I asked, surprised and upset. The guard signaled to his companions, and they seemed determined. "This guy is tough. Grab him!" he ordered. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, I quickly grabbed my phone and made a run for the gate, barrelling through them. The guards, however,

[Rachel's POV] As I made my way back into the compound after seeing Gabriel off in the cab, I couldn't help but notice the icy glares from everyone around me—the workers, the guards. It was as if they knew something, their disapproving expressions directed at me. Had the guards betrayed my trust and gossiped about the kiss with Gabriel? Anger flared within me. How dare they spread such private matters to everyone? Determined to confront the guard in charge, the one who had ordered Gabriel's capture, I strode purposefully toward the section they normally occupied. But before I could reach him, Nancy, one of the omegas who now served as a maid, intercepted. Nancy had always been someone i admired since childhood, but the different statuses within the pack had kept us apart. I was the daughter of the pack's leaders, while Nancy was the daughter of an ordinary omega. The hierarchy within the pack was strict, and our paths rarely crossed. "Rachel," Nancy said urgently, her voice cutting

[Gabriel's POV] I received a call shortly after the text message, instructing me to meet Jake at a specific cafe. It was a Monday morning, and I realized I had already missed a day of work since it was past nine. Hailing a taxi, I made my way to the cafe mentioned by Jake. The driver drove quickly and we arrived shortly. Stepping inside, I immediately spotted Jake sitting with some of his friends at a roundtable. There was an empty seat waiting for me. Approaching the table, I exchanged handshakes with everyone before taking my seat. Now a group of seven, all members of the pack, we were familiar with each other's presence. Jake, always the instigator, wasted no time in teasing me, saying, "You're a minute late, Gabriel." I responded with a frown, clearly displaying my typical dislike for Jake. It was no secret that I couldn't stand him, but Jake seemed to take pleasure in provoking me nonetheless. As our eyes locked in a tense moment, Jake suddenly burst into laughter, remarking to

[Rachel's POV] I woke up in a cold sweat, my heart pounding in my chest. The vivid images from my dream lingered in my mind, replaying like a haunting movie. A lycan and a wolf locked in a fierce battle, a woman and a little girl running for their lives. The terror of the chase, the slashing claws, and the echoing screams filled my ears. It was a recurring nightmare that had haunted me since childhood. Whispering to myself, "It's just a dream," I tried to calm my racing thoughts. But as I glanced towards the door, a shadow approached, causing my heart to skip a beat. The door swung open, and relief flooded over me as I recognized my mother stepping into the room. "Are you okay, honey?" she asked, concern etched on her face. Tears welled up in my eyes as I replied, "The dream, Mom... I think they're back." She pulled me quickly into a tight embrace, offering comfort and reassurance. "It's okay, honey. It's okay," she whispered softly, her voice soothing. I cried softly, letting out

Their expectant faces turned toward me, waiting for words that I wasn't entirely sure of myself.

The Lycan's Mate 37. After Rejection

Jake roared, pointing an accusing finger at Gabriel. "You betrayed us!"Gabriel's expression turned serious, and he spoke with conviction, "I'm not a traitor. I never did anything he must have told you," referring to the crowd who stood still in awe.Jake scoffed, refusing to believe Gabriel's words. "You're a cunning liar! You were the last one seen with him!"Gabriel's eyes flashed with frustration, but he maintained his composure. He turned towards the gathering, his voice charged with anticipation. "You're all itching to uncover the mystery of Marcus, aren't you?" He gestured dramatically, his finger pointing directly at Jake, whose anger had erupted like a tempest. "Then ask him." The clenching of his trembling hands, stark against his furious demeanor, gave insight into the turmoil he c
The Lycan's Mate 36. The Search
[Gabriel's POV]When Jake first mentioned that we might have to wait until nightfall if his spies failed to locate Gabriel, I didn't take it seriously until now. It had been more than three hours since we gathered in this hideout, and the sun's relentless rays were beating down on us. I occasionally glanced around at the tired and yawning members, including myself, who were growing more restless by the minute. Diana had been keeping me company, but even her presence couldn't distract me from the rumbling in my stomach.As the sun rose higher in the sky, the hunger became more pronounced, and I knew I couldn't wait until noon, my usual breakfast time. Nathan, one of our pack members, finally approached the group, with a pen and a book, asking if anyone was hungry and collecting money to buy lunch. I considered giving him my last five dollars, but then I realized it was my only transport fare, and I couldn't risk being stranded after the meeting. I tried to play it cool, hoping Nathan w

The pressure in the meeting room was suffocating as Nathan and his group collected everyone's cellphones, searching for any hidden devices and dealing harshly with those who attempted to conceal theirs. The fear and tension were palpable as we all knew Jake could be ruthless. They were thorough, even breaking the noses of those who tried to hide their phones. I felt a pang of fear and anxiety as they came closer to me, but I had to remain calm and collected.Once all the cellphones were confiscated, Jake addressed the pack again, his voice filled with authority and threat. He mocked those who had tried to hide their phones, questioning their next move. "Was it to call the human police as if they stood a chance against werewolves? Or was it to call Gabriel, the traitor they were all after?"My heart pounded in my chest as Jake mentioned the consequences of Gabriel fleeing before being caught. If that happened, he would assume there was a spy amongst us and go through every member's cel

[Lowell's POV]Waking up early the next day, I began going about my chores, trying to clear my mind from the anxiety that lingered. Gabriel had returned to the city, and I couldn't help but wonder what changes he might have made to the plan. As I was lost in my thoughts, my phone beeped, and I saw a message from Alpha Jake. It sent shivers down my spine as it mentioned an urgent meeting at 10. The coincidence was too unsettling.Without wasting any time, I dialed Gabriel's number and called him, my heart pounding in my chest. I quickly relayed the message about the meeting and my apprehension about the timing. Gabriel's calm voice came through the phone, and he informed me that Lewis had already informed him about it. He asked me to head to the meeting and give him feedback on whatever announcement Jake made.Arriving at the Silver Crescent Inn, I found myself there ten minutes ahead of schedule, just like before. However, this time, neither Jake nor Marcus's mate had arrived yet. The

I couldn't fully comprehend the situation among his pack, and I desperately needed his explanations. Trying to push aside troubling thoughts, I focused on my exercise, something common among pack members but not usually done in the evening like I was doing. I was determined to distract myself from the turmoil in my heart.As I jumped over one of the roadblocks that were set up for pack members' races, my ankle landed awkwardly, causing a sharp pain. I whispered to myself, "Not again," knowing that I had dislocated it. Sarah, my friend and confidant, ran up to me with concern evident in her eyes. She had been recording my jumps over the roadblocks, and now she was more worried about my well-being. I tried to stand up and walk normally, pretending that I was okay, but it was clear I needed help.We
The Lycan's Mate 32. Shattered Expectations
The clock was ticking towards the night, and the sky looked like the full moon would be out tonight as I hurriedly made my way to the clothing store. I needed to find the perfect birthday present for Rachel. I could vividly recall Rachel gazing at a garment as we strolled together before Jake and his troubles came into our lives. The store was called "Enchanted Wardrobe," and it was known for its exquisite collection of dresses and elegant attires.As I stepped inside, the air was filled with the aroma of fresh fabrics. My heart pounded with excitement and nervousness as I scanned the racks of beautiful dresses.

I hailed a cab and instructed the driver to drop me off a fair distance away from my apartment, fearing that Jake's accomplices might be lurking nearby, waiting for any sign of me.As I approached my apartment building, I closed my eyes and focused on my senses, trying to detect any presence of fellow lycans. Thankfully, there were none, so I proceeded cautiously, not wanting to take any chances.
