The Chosen Chapter Eighteen
Sitting on the bed, I placed my head in my hands. My mind felt like it was racing with so much information. Everything I had grown to know now meant nothing. The people back in the village I had grown to love and some hate, had all been hiding something. None of them was who I thought they were, and it made me question if Matthew was one of them too. I knew Matthew had been taken back to the village, and I could only pray he wasn't planning to come to find me. If he did, I was worried my childhood friend would turn out to be like the rest of the people who filled this place.Thinking back to Gabriel's words, I wondered if my father knew my mother was or could be a werewolf. Just at the mere thought of my father, I felt my heart yearn to see him. I wondered if he knew I was safe or if he too was safe back at the village.As I continued to sit on the bed in Gabriel's room, I knew what I had to do. I needed to see my father and find out what he knew about my mother. I wasn't sure if he w
The Chosen Chapter Nineteen
Dipping the white cloth into the warm bucket of water, I watched as the water rippled as I squeezed the fabric. After one of Gabriel's men had gotten the fire started, I did work of trying to lower father's temperature. I wasn't sure how he could've gotten sick from being drunk, and it scared me. I had never seen my father like this before. If I lost him, I'd lose a piece of myself too.Laying the damp cloth over his forehead, I watched as Father stirred in his sleep. A soft tap at the door had my attention moved to the warrior. "I have informed the Alpha on what is happening. If your father worsens, he has requested he be moved to the safety of the compound where we can watch over him."I couldn't help the smile that formed on my lips. Even with Gabriel far away from me, he was still trying to do his best for my family and me. I was grateful for that. Gabriel always had a soft spot in my heart, and the more I was around him, the more I felt the pull. Even when I first met him at the
The Chosen Chapter Twenty
My whole body trembled as I watched the village people come and go. They all glared at me and blamed me for the deaths of the girls. It wasn't my fault. If only they knew what was going on outside the border, would they then free me?I was scared. Truly scared. I didn't know where Gabriel's men were or how my father was. I worried about his health. Would he be at home shivering in the cold, or was Gabriel's warrior still keeping watch? Undoubtedly one of the men would be here soon looking for me.Sighing, I turned and watched the last villager walk away. She spat on the ground near the wooden door. I felt dirty, and the longer I stayed in here, the more I wondered if the deaths were my fault. Had I indeed caused such hate with the Cursed ones that they now wanted to attack my people?What scared me the most was the fact that most of the village was meant to be a part of Gabriel's pack. If they knew who my chosen was, I wondered if they would be treating me in such a way. Letting my mi
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
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Two
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
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Three
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
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Four
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
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Five
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,
