Gabriel (POV)“Show me your back,” she demands of me. How can I show her something that has no marks of bullets whatsoever? The moment the first shot rang out I had to shield her, bringing my dragon scales out to repel any bullets away from Alana. She is already my mate completely, but will she be able to handle the truth about me? Will she run? Will she accept me?I took off my jacket and turned around. I felt her fingers at the holes in the shirt I still wore. Her fingers touched my skin. “How?” She whispered.I turned around to look at her. Now would be the time to tell her the truth about me.“I need you to sit down and I will explain everything. But promise me to have an open mind and what I tell you cannot be told to anyone.” I looked her deep in the eyes, “I need to know I can trust you, Alana.”She nodded and she let me guide her to the sofa and sat down. I stayed standing and began to pace in front of her.“Are you someone who believes in aliens?” I began with the question.“
Alana (POV)Gabe turned out to be a good cook. Of course, he had a big slab of raw beef. But he made a great ham and cheese omelet and toast with tea. Since I became pregnant, I stopped drinking coffee. When he told me who, and what he was, I was scared and ran to the bedroom locking the door. I threw myself across the bed curling into a ball and cried like a baby. Of course, I blame my hormones for that. But I also did a lot of thinking and thought about how he never hurt me, he only protected me and even saved my life more than once. And really if he and his brothers wanted to conquer Earth, they could have done that years ago when they first landed.Thinking about it now, it does seem as if they only want to live a normal life. Then I pushed and searched his feelings through the bond and found what he said was the truth. But he held back. So, I made my decision but before I gave it, I wanted him to trust me enough to tell me everything. So, I unlocked the door and walked out, and I
Gabriel (POV) I didn’t want to leave for the office. But it seems an emergency meeting was called, and I had to leave. As the meeting was halfway through and with a lot of arguments, I begin to have an uneasy feeling deep down. The later it got the worse the feeling became. It became so uncomfortable I knew something was wrong and I knew it was the bond between my mate and me. I was suddenly feeling her fear and knew without a doubt she needed me and now. “Excuse me, gentlemen,” I begin. “We need to continue this at a later date.” I didn’t wait for an answer, I just stood up left the conference room, and headed toward the stairs. There was no way I could get to her in time taking the car, so I had no choice but to turn and fly. As I climbed the stairs to the roof of the building the feeling began to feel more urgent, so I hurried up the last flight of stairs. I burst through the door on the roof and transformed quickly into my dragon form shredding my suit and shoes to pieces. My
Gabriel (POV)"Come on you can do this," I said to Alana as she pushed hard on a contraction. "I'm tired," She cried leaning back against my arms and panting.I kiss her forehead and murmur in her ear, “I know you are, baby, but you are strong, you are a Spencer. This is our child. I love you. Now on the next contraction do as the doctor says and give it a big push.”Doctor Joyce Ramond is from what I hear the best OBGYN there is. I would only want the best for my mate. She lifts her head and smiles. “The baby’s head is already through. That was the hard part. One more strong push and the little one should be out.” She looked at Alana. “On the next contraction give it all you got.”Alana nods and at that moment begins to grunt and push with all her might.“That’s it, baby, you are almost there,” I say as I watch as the baby comes rolling out. “It’s a girl.” I almost shout as our daughter is born. “She is beautiful just like her mother.”Alana lays back down panting and I kiss her gen
Property Damage- Book Two‘You’re Fired!’I keep hearing those words over and over again in my mind. I still can’t believe I got fired for that little accident. I mean I didn’t mean to spill the hot coffee on the lap of an important client.So, now I am back at job-hunting, and I have only enough in the bank for my half of the electricity bill. So, my auto insurance was canceled on me. Yet, I need to keep driving to different job interviews. The only thing is, I never get callbacks.Today, I was running a little late for another job interview. I noticed an older style in pristine condition, a red mustang beside me in the other lane. What I noticed most is the driver. A handsome man with dark hair in a business suit. When he looked over at me, I smiled at him. He gave me a slight nod and turned his blinker on to enter my lane. I purposely slowed my car just enough to let him go in front of me. My good deed for the day. I smile thinking of his handsome face. If only I hadn't been late,
Mitchell (POV)I get to my office and sit down at my desk. This was a great start to the day. My favorite classic 65 Mustang was damaged in a fender bender. But the moment that woman stepped out of her car her fragrance hit me hard. She smelled so sweet and alluring that it took a lot for me to calm my dragon. And when she told me she had no insurance what do I do? Offer her a job. Why did I do that? Because her scent calls to me. I need her near me. My brother Gabriel could be right. I would know her by her scent he told me. All this time I went from woman to woman and never found the one that called to me. At least not until now.She stood there beautiful and nervous. I hadn’t meant to come on strong but that is just who I am. When she looked at me with her big blue eyes, I wanted to take her in my arms, but I refrained from doing so. I need to remember these are humans and things are done differently here than back home on Drakkon.In the meantime, I took out my cell and dialed my
Kellie (POV)My first day was quite busy as I had to run around doing errands for not only Carly but the big boss as well. Going on coffee runs, and lunch runs and even had to pick up suits from the dry cleaners. My desk is just outside the door that leads to the boss's receptionist's desk and then the door to his office. So that means people get through me to get to Carly to get to the big boss Mr. Spencer. All this to pay back the damage cost to his old car. But I need this job as well. I just hope after the cost is paid off that I can talk him into keeping me on permanently. I really can use this job. I have my share of the rent to make up as well as half of the utilities. At the end of the workday, I clock out enter the elevator and hit the button for the lobby. Just before the door closes a hand stops it and he walks in.The big boss himself. He let the door close and turned toward me. I look up at him as he is at least a foot taller than me. And broad-shouldered, and… okay I nee
Mitchell (POV)I can’t believe I kissed her. I am sitting at my desk the next morning, thinking about last night. What surprises me is she let me kiss her. Holding her in my arms, her scent kept drawing me in. I couldn’t help myself. She has not yet come to work so I have no idea the impact I may have caused on her. I knew she was at the restaurant when I walked in as her scent was strong. I couldn’t help but walk over and say hello. When her friend asked me to join them, I saw that as a wonderful opportunity to spend time with her. Sitting at my desk I decided to re-read the email my brother Gabe sent to me about mating and the bonding dream.The bonding dream according to Gabriel’s email has something to do with the male dragon towards the female and her scent triggers it. As Gabe said, it is all about the female's scent towards the male. Kellie’s scent is already calling to me loud and clear. She is my mate. If or when that bonding dream happens, I have no idea how I will be able t
