Many years later…“Ahhh! Ahhhhh!” Gabriel groaned as his bones broke, his joints shifted, and his claws tore their way out to reveal a gigantic beast.Everyone gasped in wonderment as Gabriel turned for the first time. They all thought it was impossible, he was cured when he turned thirteen and so, lost his wolf. But all of a sudden, he gets it back.Gabriel was elated, his days of being the freak of the pack were over.There was no way for Gabriel to express his excitement at the moment, he had to wait till he turned back. Never did he think that he'd get his wolf back.He believed getting healed after many years of suffering is exactly what he needed until it happened and he lost his wolf. He thanked Fluffy for beating the burden for him. Dr. Bennett said that he may never get Fluffy back since he’s suffering the effects of the wolf’s bane that Gabriel’s body was exposed to many years ago. But here he was, in his wolf form, Fluffy was back.**It was Gabriel’s thirteenth birthd
This full moon seemed to last longer than the rest. Gabriel looked forward to the morning sun that would take away the moon so that he can celebrate properly.But in the meantime, Gabriel and Gordon ran into the woods as Gordon taught Gabriel how to control Fluffy. It was a refreshing experience, especially for Gabriel.They got to a clear spot in the woods where the moon was perfectly positioned and clearly seen. It was, a glowing yellowy light, looming large, surrounded by an ethereal glow with millions of stars sprinkled around it.The moon had never looked this beautiful to Gabriel before. Maybe it’s because he looked at it with Fluffy’s eyes, the insignia of the moon goddess can be seen clearly in the wolf form, otherwise, it looked like a mere full moon. He understood the essence and felt the power it exuded. Like he should bow and worship it, he was completely enthralled by its perfection and felt safe in its gaze.He was going to talk to Gordon about it, just to be sure that
“Yunno, it’s almost time for Gabriel to come home with his mate. Why don’t you make your move now?” Gordon said to Amanda one day on their way back from school. Gabriel had stayed back for the training for all prospective alphas like he always did.Gordon hoped that Amanda would get tired of showing Gabriel all the signs that he coldly ignored..I don’t think that’s a good idea. I don’t want to be rejected; I don’t think he likes me. He likes Minx, it’s quite obvious.” Amanda sulked. Minx was a year behind them. Amanda wondered what Minx had that attracts Gabriel so much to her.“No, you’re getting it all mixed up. Gabriel doesn’t have feelings for Minx, if he does, I’d be the first to know.” Gordon assured her.Gordon’s heart ached as he tried to console Amanda, he tried so hard to be neutral. She didn’t look his way or notice the affection he showered on her. Instead of Gabriel who she so foolishly clung to, Gordon was always there for her, during her highs and lows. Even on the
She wore a short red dress that hugged her tightly in all the right places, revealing her smooth curves. There was no way a guy in his right senses would turn her down.Gordon was always simple in his dressing, just a nice pair of pants, a blue shirt that had the clouds as its design, and a pair of sneakers were perfect. He styled his hair in a fancy way, some parts fell to the front while others were at the back. He was handsome enough to not bother about excess details.They both met at the front of the pack house. Sarah had left earlier, she wanted to help in setting up the venue for the party.Gordon had called an Uber to take them to their destination. They waited a while for Gabriel, he wasn’t in sight.“I wonder where Gabriel is. Did he mention anything to you?” Amanda asked, wondering if he made an eleventh hour change of mind.“No, he didn’t. In fact, he was excited about the party.” Gordon said.“Why don’t we cancel the ride and look for Gabriel.” Amanda suggested.Gordon w
“I think I heard something outside.” Minx said, going toward the door to see if anyone was around the area.“I think we should stop hiding. I love you and I don’t wanna hide anymore.” Gabriel said.“What? Are you insane? Don’t you know what I am? Your people would never accept me” Minx said.“So we should continue hiding? Looking over your noses? I can’t continue like this. I mean my best friend may have feelings for me, I need her to know that I’m with someone else before it gets out of hand.” Gabriel said. He was getting upset.“Well… For that to be done, we have to hide the truth about my bloodline. I’ve never practiced magic, so it will be difficult to smell me out.” Minx said, as she hugged Gabriel.Gabriel was so happy, he’d take her home soon. His mom would be happy. But then he knew his friends, Gordon and Amanda would be mad at him. He left for the party without telling them first. That was because he went with Minx and he wasn’t ready to introduce them yet.Gabriel and Minx
“Where are you guys? I just got home.” Gabriel said over the phone.“In my room.” Gordon said, hesitantly.“Okay, I’m coming.” Gabriel said and ended the call.Gordon and Amanda dressed up quickly and Amanda rushed to her quarters before Gabriel came in. She had diarrhea.“Good evening, uncle Oliver.” Gabriel said as he entered his quarters and headed to Gordon’s room.“Hey, man.” Gabriel said, he was seemed more enthusiastic than usual to see Gordon.“I’m sorry I left without you guys. I must confess, it was Minx. I’m sorry for keeping it from you all this while.” Gabriel said as he fell to the bed, he was so excited that he and Minx had taken their relationship to the next level, no more hiding.“Whoa, that’s a great man. How long have you two been together?” Gordon said, feigning surprise.“About two months…” Gabriel said, smiling sheepishly.“That long? You kept it from me, that ain’t fair, though.” Gordon said.“I’m sorry, man. Minx wasn’t ready for it yet.” Gabriel said.“It’s a
That evening after practice, Gabriel left the house, he had a date with Minx.They met at a fancy restaurant, Roosevelt’s place.Minx was never a dress lover, she wore a pair of light blue jeans that were ripped a little around her knees, a fancy pink blouse, and brown ankle sock boots. Her brown hair was styled in a bob and she carried a small fancy bag. She looked really pretty, Gabriel couldn’t get his eyes off her when she walked into the restaurant.Gabriel waved to call her attention to where he was. She smiled and walked to him.Gabriel stood up and they greeted each other in the Italian way, Gabriel kissed her right cheek while she kissed his left and then alternated to kiss her left cheek while she kissed his right cheek.All the while, they enjoyed the fragrance of each other’s perfume.“Thanks for meeting me.” Gabriel said as he cut his way through the huge chunk of meat before him.Minx blushed as she said “it’s my pleasure.”They chatted away happily and when they were
Minx’s heart raced as her mother pointed to Gabriel’s shoes outside.“Who’s he?” Mrs Jackson, Minx’s mother asked.“A friend?” Minx managed to say, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her right that instant.Mr. Jackson didn’t pay attention to details, he only notices the obvious things and nothing was obvious enough.“Let’s leave the young girl to have fun. It was a long day at work, we should rest.” Mr. Jackson said, reluctant about the smell that filled the room.The beetroot oil didn’t take it all away because Minx didn’t take her time to cleanse the living room properly.“What’s that stench?” Mrs. Jackson asked.Minx’s already signed her fate, she was going to die this minute. “Uhh it’s the beetroot oil” Minx said, she was never good at lying.“Beetroot oil doesn’t have a smell. Anyways, I’ll get it changed. It seems old.” Mrs. Jackson said as she followed her husband upstairs into their room.”Minx heaved a deep sigh of relief, she thanked her stars that her mother
