Cole was sent out. He picked five warriors and they headed into the cars. He stopped before he got in, he met my gaze and I bowed my head in respect. They took off and now we just had to wait. I looked around the house for Gabby but didn't see her anywhere. My parents were in the dining room, helping clean up. Gabby’s brothers were removing the bodies and instructing their pack’s warriors on where to stay. I went up the stairs and stopped outside her room. I raised my hand to knock but instead turned the doorknob and stuck my head in. Gabby was standing by the window with a blanket wrapped around her body. She was looking out into the darkness. ”You can come in,” she said in a broken voice. I slowly closed the door behind me and walked up to her. The room was dark, she hadn't turned any lamps on and she looked content but I knew there was a horror movie in her mind playing over and over again. And she couldn't shut it off. I stood next to her and looked out over the grounds.
~Gabby’s POV~ I groaned and turned in the bed. Something felt weird, it felt like I was rested which I hadn't been for weeks. I turned and looked at the clock. It was ten o’clock and my eyes widened. I rolled over and there he was. Last night rushed back to me and I couldn't help but smile. Aiden had his hand on my thigh and when he felt me moving he leaned over and wrapped his arms around me. He pulled me into his body and snuggled up close to me. ” Good morning,” I said and stroked his cheek. ” Good morning indeed,” he said and smiled. It had been a long time since I had seen him smile. It was nice. I winced when I felt the pain in my neck and I dragged my finger over the side. The mark. Aiden marked me. I saw the hint of uncertainty in his eyes and looked over at him. ”How does it feel?” He asked and leaned upon his arm. I shrugged a shoulder. ”I like it,” I said. His shoulder relaxed and he smiled again. I hadn’t been sure before about Aiden. Whether or not I woul
~Aiden’s POV~ ”How the fuck could they have known that we were coming for Cassy?” I ran a hand through my hair and paced around the room. ”All he said was ’thank her for me’” Her? ”Aiden, calm down. Now is not the time.” Nick said and stepped in front of me. I was heaving, I knew exactly who the bitch was that had crossed us but how could she know? How the fuck did Sam know about our plans? She wasn't even in the room, or the house when everything went down. ”She couldn't have known, she wasn't here,” Edmund said and furrowed his brows. Gabby had left to check on Cassy and she wasn't going to leave her side until she woke up. We knew that Sam couldn't be trusted and that she was a sneaky bitch who hated Gabby's guts but how the fuck could she have given out the plans? ”Sam couldn't have known,” I said and shook my head. I realized I repeated Edmund's words but none of this made any sense. Two of the people were dead, the others had been there the entire time with our warrior
I stopped the car and we stepped out on the cliff. It was where we sat before and I had told her about my past and my brother. We walked closer to the side and overlooked the city below us. She turned and looked at the table I had placed there and the decorations. All the lit candles and the food.”What do you think?” I asked her and smiled. Her eyes were glimmering from tears that were building up.”It’s beautiful,” she whispered and came over and hugged me. She leaned up and placed her lips on mine. I pulled out a chair for her and then sat down on the other side. We piled on food and then finished with strawberries and champagne. We sat and talked for hours. The sunset over the city and the lights lit up from the places beneath us. The candlelight was making her look even more enchanting than ever and I couldn't believe that I was sitting here with her. ”Thank you for this, it’s been great,” She said and grabbed my hand. ”And it’s only the beginning. Like I said-” I pulled her
There had to be a way. Cassy was not a weak girl and neither was her wolf. She had to get better, there had to be a way for her to heal. ”Sorry, Alpha. But if her wolf doesn't start healing her soon I'm not sure how much longer she’ll be with us,” ”There has to be a way, what can I do?””There isn’t, it’s all up to her now and now I'm not even sure if that is enough. This poor girl has suffered immense damage to both the outer and the inner body. A regular human being would've died long ago but if her wolf is too weak, it’s not certain that she can heal,” I clapped him on his back as he left the room. Fuck.I turned my head and choked on a breath when I saw Gabby sitting up, her eyes wide open and tears falling down her cheek.Mr.Maler twisted on the little sofa bed and grunted as he got up. Gabby quickly wiped her tears so that he wouldn't see it. ”Thomas,” I said and looked at him.”Why don't you and I go get some breakfast back at the house?” ”No, no I have to be here when sh
~Aiden’s POV~Gabby and Thomas were at the infirmary with Cassidy. She was finally beginning to heal and seeing the joy on Gabby made me beyond grateful for werewolves' healing ability. She wouldn't have been able to handle losing another person, especially not Cassy. And Cassy herself had been through enough pain, this all had to come to an end.”What’s the plan?” Edmund asked when we played a round of pool.”The plan is that my brother comes for the title and then I kill him.” I said honestly.”And if you can’t?” I glared at Edmund. That little prick didn't know what to keep to himself.”I will.””I just mean that a guy like that who has been planning his revenge for years surely has backup plans that reach at least a mile. What if he has somehow found a way to make it harder for you to kill him?” ”He’s got a point,” Noah said.”He’s a werewolf, like us, any and all magic he might have will be stripped when steps onto the pack. Our witch has made sure of that. And yes, he does have
”We’re not going after him,” I said and placed my hand on the back of Gabby’s chair. ”Why the fuck not?” Edmund asked. That little punk had enough aggression in him for a whole pack. ” Because he’s coming to us.” I narrowed my eyes and waited for Edmund's next snarky remark but it didn't come. He flicked his tongue and nodded his head. ”Alright then.” He said. Everyone has been informed about Asher and his plans. The whole pack knew what awaited and they were all prepared. ”Gabby, what are your plans today?” She looked at Edmund and shrugged a shoulder carelessly. ”I don’t know, I was thinking of going for a run and then maybe into town for a coffee.” Noah looked at Edmund who narrowed his eyes at his sister. ”That’s it?” He asked. She furrowed her brows and looked at him confusedly. ”Yeah, why?” ”Nothing, just asking,” ”What’s going on with you?” ”Like I said, just asking.” He said in a biting tone. His eyes glanced over at me. The shitstorm that would happen when Gab
”Bring it all to the surface.” He said and leaned his head back. I thought about walking out of the room and storming off but then I realized that I couldn’t.I was heaving. Aiden took fast steps towards me and slammed at my shoulders so I flew back onto the wall. He grabbed each side of my face and started kissing down my neck. I moaned and tangled my fingers in his hair.I pushed him back and ripped his shirt off. Aiden held his arms at his sides and didn't make a move. I ground my teeth and nearly drooled as I watched his front. His abs, his chest, his broad shoulders, the V that went down his pants.His hand quickly came around the back of my head and he slammed me against him. I pulled back and tried to get free. I didn't want him to be in control but Aiden grabbed my hand and held it down as he engulfed my lips. I pushed against him but kissed him back. I was so confused and I was feeling so many things at the same time.He lifted me up and walked us over to the bed before t
