Chapter 5
I won't say it, Gabriel says annoyed and runs his hand through his hair. I watch his movement,my eyes trailing his hand. Gabriel saw my gaze and snorted at me. That pissed me off and I returned my gaze to the alpha."Rachel,I am not saying that you are wrong". Alpha says, making Gabriel growl from his seat. Alpha growled back making him wilt under his firm glare. But if there is any chance of him Changing,it is you. A mate brings out the best in you, especially an alpha. You might be the change he needs, That an opportunity if you ask me." He said and I smiled at him".That sounds pretty good and all, Alpha am not ready to pin my future on trying to change my mate for good. And it is not fair to ask me to do that, I said as a matter of fact. And Gabriel scoffed from where he was seated.Why does any of this matter to begin with? I already reject him as my mate, it's not like I can just take it back. I said and Luna cleared her throat." Well, actually if you mark him it will restore your bond, it will be your way of accepting him again". She says and I sigh, making him growl in frustration." You don't want me either, Gabriel. Why don't you just admit it. I asked him and he rolled his eyes at me." Who says I don't want you, I have always wanted a mate. Yes I didn't expect it to be you, but am willing to give it a try. He says shrugging and I growl at him.Yes, you are not the one who's been tormented all these years, so it's easy for you to say so. I said irritatedly and my mom cut in.We don't seem to be heading anywhere,maybe we should take a break for today. Gabriel groans and I growl at him.Rachel, can I talk to you in private? He asked.Fine.I followed him out of the office and up the stairs into a room. As soon as I stepped into the room, I got engulfed in his scent. It is not as strong or enticing since I broke the bond, but it still smells so good . I discreetly take in a sniff as he closes the door behind us. He comes up behind me and pulls my hair over my shoulder, unapologetically talking in a long sniff of my scent.God damn, you smell so good, baby. He murmurs as I pull away from him." That's just the mate bond talking". I said and he grew in response.No, you have always smelled so good. He says taking another step towards me as he sniffs. I could see his tense body visibly relax as he sat on the bed.I think you know what I am going to say,Leaning back on his headboard.Are you going to accept my rejection?I asked and he smirked before laughing softly.No, I am going to say at least we should give it a try. He says with confidence.Why do you just accept that you don't want me, and we can both move on? I asked stubbornly and he growled a little." I do want you, you are smart and hot, why won't I want you? He asked, smiling at me.You didn't like me yesterday, the only thing that changed is the mate bond. That is not enough to build a relationship on. I pointed out." I have always liked you". He says.You had a shitty way of showing it right. I said as I took my seat across from him, he sighs heavily as he runs his hand through his hair again. I got a strange urge to do the same too, maybe the mate bond isn't totally severed it just muted in a way." If I tell you it the truth , you will probably think am stupid". He says." Probably, hit me with it anyway you have nothing to lose. I said and his eyes bore into mine as he nodded slightly." I was jealous, plain and simple. My parents love you and would always talk about how smart you are. How good it will be for the pack, I feel like they would have preferred to have you as their child than me. He says avoiding eye contact with me, I sighed heavily as I rubbed my temple.Gabriel, it not stupid how you handled it was wrong, you could have talked to your parents about it instead of treating me like trash. I said and he nodded in agreement.I know,I figured that out before graduation but I also thought it wouldn't matter that much if I tried to amend it anyway. I thought you would never forgive me but I never thought you would end up being my mate. He said then I stood up making my way to the door."Where are you going? He asked standing on his feet, I looked at him in confusion pointing to the door.Am going home, I have a lot to think about as I head for the door. He grabs my wrist inorder to stop me from leaving and I look at him confused.Can't you think here? He asked desperately and I got more confused by his behavior.What's going on Gabriel? I asked him shivers at the sound of his name from my mouth, that made him realize that he still felt the full force of the mate bond.I just want to be near you. He admits shyly, I sighed and sat back on the chair.Am not staying here,I am going to have nothing to do with you. Think of it as a punishment for the way you treated me for years, I said.That fine I totally deserve that, but you won't make me surfer for five years right? He asked but I looked away.That is not a terrible idea, I said and he slid off the bed kneeling down in front of me.Please Rachel don't torture me, I know you can't feel it but the thought of not being close to me is killing me . My wolf has been trying to take over so he can mark you, we want you. You are everything we need in a Luna, we are sorry to give us another chance . He pleaded, lifting his face to look at me. They were filled with tears. Never in my life have I imagined Gabriel on his knees begging for my forgiveness.I almost didn't like it.I almost didn't like it." Just relax Gabriel" I said as I ran my hand through his hair, he leaned in closer as my touch was soothing to him but I miss the spark I felt when I found out he was my mate.Though it wasn't enough to forgive him for the way I was treated by him for the past few years, and that is for sure.Gabriel lets just take things slowly,once at a time. I said to him,and he looked very relaxed under my touch."What do you think the pack will think of us?"? I asked him and he looked up at me with a furrowed brow."What do you mean"? He asked me to look him in the eyes.Have you forgotten that you single handedly destroyed my reputation? What? Do you think the whole pack will accept a slut for their luna? I asked, looking him straight in the eyes and he growled back at me."Don't call yourself that" he said and I narrowed my eyes on him."I didn't. You did" I said pointedly and his face fell before he laid his head back on my lap. He moves his hands around my waist ,
Chapter 7"How does it feel? The revenge? Does it feel good? My mum asked but I shook my head".I didn't reject him for revenge, I rejected him because I don't want to be his mate. Both my parents sighed and their looks turned from amused to somber.Rachel we didn't want to say these in front of the alpha, because we want you to know that we are on your side. My mother starts but looks at my dad for help. My eyes flit between the two of them as unease builds inside me.Alpha is right, sweetheart. As much as I hate to admit these, once Gabriel becomes your mate. Your first responsibility is to devote yourself to the pack.if your mate had been someone else other than the future alpha of this pack. I would have said wholeheartedly that you have every right to reject a man who treats you like trash and has no respect . But that isn't an option in a case like these, in fact regardless of what the current situation is , I am very proud of the fact that you stood up to him. For believing in
Chapter 8But since he's here for you, why don't you ask him to stay? She asked and I Shaked my head. I stood up and went out to meet him in the room where he kept wandering around. Looking at my things." I'm fine you can leave" I said and he observed me with a worried expression. He sighs as he runs his hand through his hair before looking back at me. He walks over to me and reaches up to run his hand through my braid.I have always liked your hair like this, it gives off the innocent sexy teacher vibe. He said smiling at me, I crossed my hands over my chest as I kept looking at the ground making him sigh again." Rachel please" try to listen to me just once, if you let me in give me a chance , I'm telling you what I feel for you is very sincere and it has nothing to do with the mate bond at all. Because I have always loved you for years, Rachel I couldn't express my feelings for you because I wasn't good enough for you, and that really pisses me off most times I see you. Everyone
Chapter 9It was really unfair to me but my hands were tied.But I the pain I felt was like that of being stabbed multiple times, it was really getting unbearable for me, and when I reach out for our bond for some comfort, it felt worse than I thought it was with me because I thought she was dying, out of panic I ran to her house to check on her, only to be met with the sound of her cry coming out of her bathroom, my wolf was angry at me and cursing at me in my mind because of the way I treated our mate in the past, I made him lose every connection with her wolf when she rejected us. My wolf had since then been feeling depressed. We couldn't connect her wolf to know whose side she is on.But none of this really mattered to me. At the moment when she opened the door and her face came into view it was clear to me that she was really angry at the moment because her eyes were bloodshot From how hard she must have been crying.I have Never seen anything like this before, she was always so
Actually you have another option, I was happy when I heard that, only to be disappointed when she said, " you might as well go back home to your comfortable bed you know". I could only sighed back in response since I knew I could Change her stubborn mind." Fine, the floor is also fine with me". I said and she nodded back, ok was a pillow and blanket to land on me. I smiled and wrapped myself around me, the strong scent of my mate was good enough to put me to sleep, I sat up a little to peek at her cheek , she growled at me but I smiled back at her feeling happy." Goodnight, Rachel". I whispered to her and she rolled away from facing me."Goodnight"Rachel I woke up at some point in the middle of the night. I could tell that it wasn't a day break yet as it was still dark everywhere. I was sweating,like I was feeling really warm. I reached out my hand to pull the string connected to the ceiling fan, that was when I realized that I was being held down by firm and muscular hands. I lo
Chapter 11"Yes". I answered simply before walking out of the door, giving him a better view of my ass which he apparently take advantage of, judging by the tortured groan he let out.As we walked over to the training ground, he moved closer to me and reached down to grab my hand. I waved it away irritatedly before crossing my hands under my breast, making them stick it further, catching his attention once again."What are you doing?" I asked him irritatedly." Well, I am just trying to be a good mate". He says shrugging and doing that thing where he rubs the back of his neck." What makes you think I want everyone to know that you are my mate?" I asked and I could see the hurt look in his eyes .I'm sorry, I just don't have an issue with peanut knowing. He says with a shrug and I sigh before massaging my temple.Seriously,this stressful headache is going to kill me.Just not yet okay? People are not going to react well if they know now. We need to be mindful of that, I say and he fro
Chapter 12RachelI will make you an example for others to learn from and know what will happen to anything who talks shit about my mate and your future Luna. He yelled at everyone present at the training center, before turning back to Debbie. Now you get your sorry ass off to the kitchen before I change my mind for something worse, or would you prefer sending you to the cell. He says, his eyes were showing a glint of black that showed that his wolf was in control.I could hear a lot of low gasps and whispers among the people standing, as they digested what he just said. The color from Debbie's face had drained off and she stammered, finding it hard to speak any further."No this can't be '' but I thought I did be your mate. She murmurs to herself. Because her birthday is only a few days to go and she happens to be one of that pack strongest she-wolf. I wouldn't have been caught off guard if they happened to be mates, the thought of them being mates makes a pang of hurt in my heart,
Chapter 13I have something to take care of. Can I come over to your place after I am done? He asked me hopefully."No, I responded". And his face dropped low."Why not?" He asked and I sigh.Because I won't be there. I will be training with your dad today. So I will be at the pack house. I explained and his face lit up again.Even better, I will meet you there when I am done. He says as he walks away before I could say anything else. Alpha had been asking Gabriel to join the intelligence training session for months now but he never listened to his father. Maybe the mate bond will have a positive effect on him from now on.I walk back slowly to my house, basking in the silence I got to enjoy. It was my first time alone in a while. I took extra time in the shower this time around. The Alpha was never particular about what time I show up, so I took extra time in making myself look cute, I put on jean trousers and a floral blouse, and strappy sandals, I add a little makeup to my face d I
