Chapter 3:
Marshelle KnipeHello my lovely explorers. After much consideration we have decided to add book 3 to this book as it only made sense to add Gabriel and Scarlette’s as a second half to book one to bring our readers some closure, instead of having book 3 as a stand alone.

While Scarlette ate her berries and Yogurt there was a knock at the door “I’ve got it, you carry on eating” he said to her sterny as he went to open the door. She giggled thinking he had picked up a few tricks from seanair in the brief time they had spent together, she had the strange feeling that Gabriel rather enjoyed her grandfather’s company someone who could speak to him like an adult, someone with life experience unlike herself, Lydia,Jackson and Sasha who she thought someone Gabriel viewed them as infants.Thinking of the three they started pilling into her apartment with the smell if carbs pouring out of their goody bags “you shouldn’t have” Sasha said looking over at the table “I didn’t” Gabriel said pointedly. “The table is only set for two Sash” Lydia pointed out, causing Jackson to nod his head “Good thing we stopped for food, he would have staved us.” The childishness hurt evident in his voice, Gabriel just shook his head and walked back to the table with the rest of the

Gabriel swept Scarlette up in his arms and carried her away from her attacker. She was in shock and felt cold to the bone despite the warm, humid air of New Orleans. Gabriel set her down gently on her feet and held her close. She buried her face in his chest and breathed in his familiar scent of sandalwood and leather."Are you hurt?" he asked, his voice soothing.Scarlette shook her head. "No, I'm okay. Just shaken up."Gabriel lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. "I will not let anyone harm you, my love. I will protect you at all costs."Scarlette felt a shiver run down her spine at the intensity of his gaze. She knew he meant every word. She also knew that his presence in New Orleans meant trouble."Why did you follow me here?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.Gabriel's expression softened. "I cannot stay away from you, Scarlette. I love you too much."Scarlette felt a lump form in her throat. She loved him too, but she knew they couldn't stay together forever. His

Gabriel drove Scarlette to a secluded cabin in the mountains that he had prepared for them. It was the perfect place to hide from their problems and spend some time alone together. The cabin was surrounded by trees and had a breathtaking view of the valley below. Scarlette was touched by the effort Gabriel had put into making the cabin cozy and comfortable. She couldn't resist hugging him tightly.Gabriel smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Anything for you, my love."They spent their days exploring the woods, cooking delicious meals, and talking about their lives. Scarlette learned more about Gabriel's past and how he became the Vampire King. Gabriel was fascinated by Scarlette's ability to see the future and how she coped with it.One evening, as they sat in front of the fireplace, Scarlette asked Gabriel, "What if they never accept us? What if we can never be together?"Gabriel took her hand and held it tightly. "I will always choose you, Scarlette. No matter what happens, I wil

Scarlette woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. Gabriel was already gone, but a note on the nightstand caught her eye. "Morning sunshine, went out to grab some breakfast. Be back soon. Love you, G."Scarlette smiled and took a deep breath, feeling grateful for their peaceful life in the cabin. She got ready for the day and went outside, enjoying the fresh air and the sound of nature. As she was picking some wildflowers, she heard rustling in the bushes behind her. She turned around, expecting to see Gabriel, but instead found herself face to face with a figure she didn't recognize."Who are you? What do you want?" Scarlette demanded, backing away.The figure stepped out of the shadows, revealing themselves to be a woman with long blonde hair and piercing blue eyes."I'm Isabella, Gabriel's ex," she said, a hint of bitterness in her voice. "I see he's moved on to another mortal. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."Scarlette's heart raced as she realized what w

“What do you feel like eating?” Gabriel asked as he took their empty breakfast dishes to the sink, they had something light, yogurt, fruit, granola and espresso. “I have no idea, my palet is inexperienced, you could introduce me to anything and I would most likely fall inlove with it.” Scarlette stated, while getting up to look for an outfit for their date, it’s usually ice cold in a cinema. Over the knee black 3 inch boots with a plether skirt and obviously leggings under that to keep warm. She wore a long sleeved white crop top that met the skirt to close her stomach completely, a black coat and a white purse to complete the look. Gabriel vamped in and out of the room dressed to match her. “I was thinking italian?” He asked her clipping his cufflinks. “Pizza?” Whe asked frowning, thinking to herself that isn’t really date food. “Not necessarily but it would be on the menu at the restaurant we are going to.” She noded her head as he opened the door to her apartment. “Can we watch

Scarlette spent the next few days in a daze, trying to process everything that had happened with Gabriel and Isabella. She couldn't believe that Gabriel had kept Isabella's existence a secret from her, and she was confused about what she wanted from their relationship. Alpha Jackson had been a great support to her, and she appreciated his friendship more than ever.One day, Scarlette decided to take a walk in the nearby woods. She needed some time alone to clear her head. As she walked, she heard a rustling in the bushes behind her. She turned around, but there was no one there. She shrugged it off and continued walking, but the feeling of being watched didn't go away.Suddenly, she heard a twig snap. She spun around and saw a figure emerging from the shadows. It was Isabella.Scarlette's heart raced as Isabella approached her, a sinister smile on her face."Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Isabella said. "Seems like Gabriel's new toy has wandered into my territory."Scarlette

“Lydia, do you think there is a way that we could enter the other timeline?” Scarlette asked curiously making everyone in the room look at her skeptically. “Gabriel have you been letting the women watch too much DC Series while you mock The flash’s speed?” Mikael asked him with amusement clear in his voice. “I would advise against trying to mess with other timelines” Jedreel said as he flashed into the room. “I didn’t summon you.” Scarlette muttered confused, “Mother sent me when she heard what you had planned” this made everyone in the room self aware. “Will she be visiting us again? I have questions.” Sasha said with a bit of venom in her voice. “She is…. Preoccupied at the moment, you will have to wait 500 years for her to come back again.” Jedreel responded “Good enough since we are all immortal.” Sasha fired back. “Why can’t I go there Jed?” Scarlette asked again. “What do you want to go do there Scarlette?” He fired back clearly irritated that she had the audacity to questio

"There is nothing on this Helle person or being anywhere" Sasha groaned while Lydia chewed her pencil in frustration clearly thinking the same thing. "My family and their fucking secrets" Scarlette muttered her own frustrations. "I'm sorry I cannot help with this matter, I don't even know if I existed at that time already or not. " Gabriel stated while Mikael got up and vamped over into Gabriel's apartment presumably for a bag of blood. The werewolf Alpha King was the only one quietly still deep-diving the internet. "That's okay, I wasn't expecting you to have any knowledge of this. I am just frustrated that I am a Demi-Goddess with the ability to see the past present and future but I cannot look at my own." Sasha gave her a pitiful look as she took a sip of her redbull to keep up her energy, she knew she wouldn't like such a look so she changed the subject. "So have y'all completed your mating bond yet?" She asked throwing her eyebrows up and down "As much as I'd like to that is a
