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 , I let him do it hoping that some intimate contact would calm him down from throwing a tantrum when I leave." Am so sorry, I will never forgive myself for what I did to you" he murmurs and I rub the back of his neck to sooth him gently. His emotionally are throwing the fuck out of me." This doesn't actually matter for now " we have to think of a way on how this will look. I sighed and he looked up at me again." I will kill anyone who says anything bad about you" he says firmly, I can't help but giggle. He looks up at me in awe and watches me.Do that again, he says.Do what?" Laugh. It was beautiful" he says, shaking me a little.Well I can't just laugh on command. It doesn't walk like that. He lifted his hand up and tickled my side, making me laugh until I could barely breathe.Ok, ok stop, I yelled at him and he pulled his hand back quickly. I looked at him and he had a wide, beautiful smile on his face." I could listen to that forever". He murmurs, reaching up to run his thumbs down my cheeks.Rachel? Where are you? My mum links me and pulls me out of my daze. I stood up suddenly, making Gabriel fall over."Sorry, that was my mom, I have to go. I said as I was heading towards the door. If before I could get close to the door a pair of large have wrapped around my waist pulling me into his strong embrace."No, tell her you are staying with me. Gabriel growls at me. He sounds more wolf than man. I turned around and met his dark eyes, which showed that his wolf he's in charge. I took a deep breath and held his face in my hands.I will come back tomorrow okay? I need to talk to them, and explain things. I tried to reason a little with him, he held my hands in his kissing palm like he did earlier."You promise to come back tomorrow? I nod, my stomach sinking at the thought of what I am getting myself into.Yes tomorrow, his eyes were back to normal as that of Gabriel as he let go of my hands.See you tomorrow little mate. He said leaning in to take a sniff of my scent as he placed a gentle kiss on my neck, I smiled at him gently before leaving the room. Taking a deep breath of fresh air before I find my way out of here.RachelOn getting home." What took you so long? My mom asked with a worried look on her face as soon as I walked in through the door. My dad was with her standing at her back, staring at me worriedly and I sighed before entering the kitchen.My parents know that I easily get hungry once I am stressed out.Gabriel tried to persuade me to stay, he has been acting so strange. I said while I opened the fridge to pull out some snacks for myself. Suddenly my Mom grabs the food from me, and starts preparing something else while my dad pulls to sit beside him inside our kitchen." You mean he wasn't treating you like a piece of trash like he does? My dad asked irritatedly and somewhat angry.Sweetheart,why didn't you tell us it was that bad from the start, my mom asked with a sad and worried expression. There is a pang in my heart at the thought of hurting her.He is our Alpha son, what would you have done to him? I asked while trying to avoid their gaze. My dad sighs and crosses his arm over my shoulder, pulling me into his embrace while he plants a kiss on my forehead." You know we could have spoken to the alpha about it, you heard what he said today. He wouldn't have tolerated his son's behavior towards you mate or know mate. My dad pointed out but I just Shaked my head." If he was going to change, I wanted him to do that on his own, not reporting him to his father. That would have made matters worse , he needs to grow and learn how to be a good Alpha in the future. I know doing this all these years probably hurt you guys feelings towards me today, saying what I did about trying to leave the pack. But I want to know that it has nothing to do with the both of you. Only Gabriel, I said, met both of them gaze. They both nod in agreement while my mum places a plate of food in front of me."We know, sweetheart. We just feel bad for you, you know we have been excited about you finding your mate. And then you got that little shit" My dad said angrily, snatching a carrot off my plate. I growled at him and he chuckled back in response, he munched on it happily. My mum watches us with a warm and affectionate look." You know, a few days ago when he was spewing bullshit at me like he normally does, I told him his mate would be disappointed at having him as her mate, and that I hope she would never accept him. I said with a little giggle, that got both my parents laughing.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
Chapter14RachelAfter the training, well my training and Gabriel staring at me like a creep the whole time, I tried to sneak out of the pack house by myself while Gabriel was talking to his father. But it just didn't work."Gabriel you have to stop following me everywhere I go, it's getting weird. He had known each other for years and there had never been a day of us being together alone for hours, this is a big adjustment on my side". I said to him and he gave me a sad look.Hmmm."I just wanted to ask you something".He says, pouring out his lips and shuffling his legs. I sigh a little but still turned to face him."What would you like to ask?""Rachel, would you like to spend the whole day with me?" He asked with bright eyes and a wide smile, I growled and turned away from him, but he ran after me to catch up."Come on Rachel," he says to him and I growl at him again." Don't you have the future Alpha thing to do?" I asked in an angry tone, but he just shook his head.Nope, my dad
