Gabriel sat across from Scarlette with a heavy heart. He knew he had to come clean about Isabella, and he regretted keeping the truth from Scarlette. He took a deep breath and spoke. "Scarlette, I have to tell you something. Isabella is dead."Scarlette's eyes widened with shock. "What? How?" she asked, her voice shaking.Gabriel lowered his head. "I killed her. It was my only choice."Scarlette was taken aback. "Gabriel, how could you? You know I am against violence."Gabriel put his hands together and looked up at Scarlette. "I know, and I am sorry. But she was a threat to us, and I had to protect you and our love."Scarlette stood up, feeling deeply hurt. "I can't believe you would do this. You went behind my back and made this decision without me. I thought we were in this together."Gabriel reached out to touch Scarlette's hand, but she pulled away. "Scarlette, please. I did it for us. You know I love you more than anything."Scarlette shook her head. "I need some time alone, Gabr
Scarlette wandered aimlessly through the woods, her mind in a fog after she had her first dream walk, especially with all the things she had learned about herself. How could Gabriel kill Isabella, their friend? Was their love really worth that much? Scarlette felt more alone than ever before. She was torn between her love for Gabriel and her disgust with what he had done. The revelation about what she truly is wasn't helping her either although it was a welcoming surprise. But the Scarlette from her dream mentioned that her Gabriel also killed their Isabella, before humankind was made. She wondered why she didn’t ask for that Gabriels reasoning for killing his friend. As she walked, Scarlette suddenly heard a rustling in the bushes. She turned to see a pair of glowing green eyes staring back at her. Her heart skipped a beat as she recognized the creature – a werewolf.Scarlette had never faced a werewolf before, but she knew that they were known for their viciousness and cunning. She
Gabriel and Scarlette continued walking through the woods, treading softly as they kept their guard up. They could feel eyes watching them from the surrounding trees, and the occasional rustling of leaves made them jump in anticipation.Scarlette couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal that Gabriel's confession had caused her. She trusted him with her life, but now she felt like she didn't even know him. Her mind raced with questions she didn't know how to ask.Gabriel could feel Scarlette's unease, and he wanted nothing more than to make things right. He reached for her hand, but she pulled away, keeping her distance."I'm sorry," Gabriel said, his voice low. "I never wanted to hurt you.""How could you keep something like that from me?" Scarlette's voice was icy. "How could you lie to me?""I didn't want you to be involved," Gabriel explained. "I didn't want you to have to deal with the consequences of my actions.""I'm involved now, whether I wanted to be or not," Scarlette said, her
“I will be the first to admit that today was not a half-cooked plan majesty,” Mikael said to her his voice filled with appreciation for the little breather. “Ofcause not pessant what do you take me for?” Scarlett said back full of giddy and joy, they both burst out laughing at her choice of a joke since a teen walking by gave him a funny look for calling her majesty. “Thank you for that,” Jackson said hugging Scarlett as well and putting back down on the sand when he saw his mate emerge from the ocean waters in her black bikini with palm leaves all over it, looking like the true predator she was. Jackson didn’t even feel a shred of jealousy when he saw how the human men stood still gawking at her beauty and natural elegance. Some of the men even earned a smack or a shove from their women.“Hmmm, it makes me proud to call you my Luna!” He said as she ran straight into his arms wetting his boardshorts and kissing him square on the mouth. “Round 2 when we get home?” She asked him sugge
Gabriel, Scarlette, and Lily continued their journey through the woods, enjoying the warmth of the sun as it filtered through the leaves. As they walked, they noticed a group of birds flying overhead, singing a cheerful melody. Lily, fascinated by the birds, tried to imitate their singing. However, her attempt turned out more like a croaky, off-key noise that made Scarlette and Gabriel burst out laughing.Lily's cheeks turned pink as she looked up at them, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I guess I'm not very good at singing," she said.Scarlette smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry about it, Lily. It's not about being good or bad, it's about enjoying yourself."Gabriel chuckled and wrapped his arm around Scarlett's waist. "And Lily, you definitely made us enjoy ourselves," he said. They continued walking, the sound of Lily's singing lingering in the air. Despite the danger that still loomed over them, they found comfort in each other's company and the simple joys that life had to o
“At this point, I don’t think we even have to ask who this is.” Jackson was the first to speak. Everyone blinked several times “Yes, the resemblance is uncanny.” Gabriel chimed in. “It’s like looking into a mirror but different anatomy,” Lydia said in wonder. “Fucking hell what strong jeans this family has,” Sasha stated stupified by the features of her friend and the male before them. “He doesn’t look old enough to be a great grand papi,” Mikael said, this made the male burst out in boisterous laughter. “You are quite the bunch!” He boomed, even though his voice was the complete opposite of Scarlett’s where her’s sounded angelically soft, and sometimes when she was surprised a bit squeaky, this male’s voice was strong, gruff, and unmissably masculine. “It was I who put a truth spell on your home Miss Lydia, I hope you do not mind?” He asked her she shook her head too entranced to speak. “I just needed to know that my daughter was not being taken for granted or surrounded by fo
“Wait what made you decide to come to Earth then?” Scarlett asked Helle just as the microwave beeped to let her know her Burrito is done. Gabriel went to get it and a plate for her, and then placed her coffee next to her as well. “He takes very good care of you, bless the fates for bestowing such a worthy mate upon my little Gem.” Helle stated as he observed Gabriel’s treatment of his only child. Scarlett narrowed her eyes at the being who was responsible for her existence or rather who’s seamen played a roll in her existence. “As feisty as your mother” he said shaking his head, with a knowing smile on his face. “I came to let you know that you are safe to return home whenever you want and also to see how you are faring in the human world.” He said to her matter-of-factly. This made anger bubble inside of Scarlett a kind she had never experienced before. “Home? Helle I have lived on earth my entire existence and now you and your mate expect me to drop everything move to your dim
“What do you mean me?” Scarlett asked when she had gained her barrings. “Have none of you made her feel this strongly about anything before?” Helle asked them with laughter in his voice. “What’s so funny?” Scarlett asked him with venom in her voice. “With all due respect father-in-law, if I told you about the strong emotions I have experienced with your daughter I fear you would never look at me the same way.”, Gabriel said looking at the floor shyly, recalling the night they marked one another. “That much I had expected Gabriel” Helle responded with humor in his voice. “Daughter, when we experience powerful emotions we have the tendency to make the vicinity we’re in react as a display of what is happening internally. “Did you not see us all hanging on for dear life?” Lydia asked in equal humor as Helle, This was new to Scarlett as she had never seen Lydia in this state not even from the day they first met. Scarlett shook her head at her friend. “Our rage blinds us to whatever, i
