All Chapters of Her Return- Moonlit Redemption : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Dinner is going to be awkward.I can feel it in my bones.Fixing my hair one last time, I open the door only to pause. Alpha Gabriel stands perched against the door frame, his eyes focused on me as his eyes dips low and then raise up again.My sundress isn’t revealing but it’s form fitting and cups my cleavage. It’s something that I always love wearing because I feel confident in it but also look good, if I do say so myself. It also helps that I always get complimented one way or another whenever I wear this dress.“Are you ready for dinner?”My face and body heats at his words. There’s a deeper meaning behind them simply due to the fact that we’ll be scrutinised by the whole Pack. My old Pack at that too.However, my body’s reaction is due to the darkness in his eyes. It calls to me in a way no man has ever had the opportunity to beckon me before.“What do you think?”Aloha Gabriel’s eyes darken further as he dips them down my body one more time.“I think you’re more than ready.”“L

“Ahem. Am I interrupting something here?” Alpha Gabriel and I both snap up to catch sight of Ajax staring the both of us down. Serena stands next to him with an annoyed look on her face. I awkwardly push my seal backwards till I’m sat on the floor. Alpha Gabriel gets up in one swift move before he places his hand out for me to take. I let him hoist me up but I can’t ignore the lingering stare Jax sends my way. “Not at all. Avery and I were training. My pack consists of the best of the best. Hence, we train every day to make sure we don’t lose our touch.” Alpha Gabriels words are tight and he sends Jax a certain look. It’s one I can’t decipher but my ex appears to be uncomfortable as he swiftly looks away. “Well, not to be a burden but our training starts in ten minutes. The warriors will join us shortly so I hope you’re prepared for the lesson.” Alpha Gabriel raises his eyebrow at Serena before looking around us. “Trust me, I’ve got it handled. It’s best to leave the trai

“I shifted.” Alpha Gabriel looks confused. As if that wasn’t something out of the ordinary. “Yes and? Am I missing something here?” I sigh and hold out the book. The man doesn’t have to reach out far to get it. Our fingers graze over one another and tingles erupt in their place. I’ve never felt such a spark with Jax or anyone else. Is this what happens when you can’t have something that sometimes… well, I oftentimes have to hold myself back from letting my thoughts wander into dangerous territory. ‘The Shifter’s Guide: History and Transformation.’ Alpha Gabriel focuses on the book in his hand, clearing his throat to put all other thoughts at bay. “I don’t understand.” I take a step back to put distance between us. Something I desperately need in order to properly think and formulate sentences. “I haven’t been able to shift. Ever. Not when I turned 13. Not 16. Barely when I turned 18. Something that’s unheard of.” The man stills for a long while before he slowly l

Waking up after training is a sordid affair.My limbs hurt, bones ache and my heart doesn’t have any willpower to even think about going out to train. Today is a bit different, however. My thoughts have been tangled up with the events of the previous day.Not even the cool crisp of the morning air can help diffuse my thoughts. I step onto the training grounds just as the sun begins to peek over the horizon,Alpha Gabriel stands a distance away while my thoughts confound me.Alpha Gabriel’s comforting words, the intensity in his eyes… our kiss. It plagues my mind all while making my heart beat with anticipation and nerves.The edge of the forest is quiet and everyone in the pack is asleep. Other than those patrolling of course.The man’s posture is relaxed, calm as day as he admires his surroundings. I approach him quietly, something that he always picks up on but this time his eyes are fixed at a distance. No vision of trees and forest in his eyes as he most likely sees a memory or l

The rogue is met head on.Annihilated in seconds.A growl echoes throughout the pack. I’m on high alert and my eyes wander over the tree line, alert for any more signs of movement.A few rogues step out with one of them in their human form. He was protected by his members. They all smelt horrid but the man in the middle was the most intimidating. His eyes shine with malice as he stares at us, almost fixated. Serena takes a defence stance, firm and yet unyielding. She won’t take no for an answer.“We belong here. This is my territory. Either you leave right now or you face the consequences.”The man smirks in a sinister manner. The expression itself cusses me to falter. There was nothing but confidence radiating off of him.“Trust me. We’re not here to fight. We’re here for your sister. Avery.”Everything around me stops. My blood runs cold as all eyes land on me. My sister stares at me with suspicion. Our previous conversation is now clear in her eyes.“Why are they after you. Hmm?”
