***Gael's POV***I waited patiently for Turstin to get back so we could leave. It was almost getting toward the evening and I wanted us to be back home before my mom would notice we were not home, especially when I didn't bring my phone with me. I'm sure she must be trying to make lunch and might be waiting for our appearance. It didn't take long before Turstin showed up. “I'm so sorry, I'm not supposed to take this long with my call.”“Was it from the office?”I asked curiously. He pressed his lips together and nodded his head. “Do you think it's something you need to go back to take care of?”“It doesn't necessarily need to be taken care of…"“There's no need to explain. I think you should attend whatever it is, I know it's important. You can always drop by, you know.”Turstin stared at me for a while. I could tell that he didn't want to leave me behind, but then I couldn't stop him from going to where he's supposed to be. “Trust me, I'll be fine. You should attend to your busin
**Gael's POV***I shut my eyes when I thought my dad was about to hit me. But after I heard the voice speak. I slowly opened my eyes only to see my dad's hand hanging in the air while he stared at the person who had stopped him. I slowly took my gaze towards the direction of my dad and there he stood like my black knight. My heart fluttered at that very moment. The truth was, I was already in love with him. And seeing how he appeared from nowhere to save me further made my feelings for him deepen even more. Just then, he began to approach us. His gaze did but hold an ounce of happiness. I could tell that he was greatly pissed. “And who might you be, trying to stop me from disciplining my son!”“Your son? Are you sure about that?”He asked and slowly took his gaze over to me as if wanting to confirm what I had said. I couldn't say a word to him because I can't classify that man as my dad. “Oh I see. So, since you're his dad, don't you think it's terrible of you to want to lay hand
**Turstin's POV***I noticed that after giving money to Gael's dad, he didn't seem to be pleased. Dinner was carried out in silence. Gael's mom retired to bed early after the stress of what happened during the day. As for Gael, he wouldn't even look at me. He barely touched his food, and this made me feel sad. I hate to see him this sad and I wished there was something I could do about it even. After our meal, Gael picked up the plates and went to the kitchen. I can't continue like this. I'm here because of him, the last thing was for us to waste each moment we had to spend together. I stood up from the dining table and walked over to meet him. And I saw him doing the dishes. I walked over to where he stood and wrapped my hands around his waist. “Love, tell me, are you mad at me?”He froze but didn't turn around to look at me. “It's nothing,” he muttered.I knew he was only saying that, not because it came from his mind. “Are you mad at me?”“Huh? Why would you think that?” He a
**Gael's POV***The next day, I decided to go with Turstin back home. This was because Cole was finally having his engagement party before the wedding proper. “Can I not go, please?”“Why? I still don't understand why you don't want to attend? He's my brother, and even though you two aren't on the same page most times, it would be only nice that you attend with me.”Despite my refusal, Turstin's still insisted that I come with him. Well, it's not Like I would rather not see Cole and his wife. I needed to witness this wedding for myself and heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright. I'll attend, since he's your brother. But then, I'll have to bid my mom farewell.”“That's not an issue. I'll wait for you.”Turstin said with a smile on his face. I could tell that he was lying rather than happy about the fact that I had decided to come with him. Since my mom was at her shop, I decided to pay her a visit there. I needed to tell her why I was planning to leave. Getting into the flier shop, I f
**Gael's POV**As soon as I got down from the car, Cole looked in my direction, and for some reason, his expression didn't reflect that anger like it used to in the past. I wonder why he's not getting mad or frowning, like he used to, whenever he sees me. “Mr. Turstin, Gael, you both are back!” Stacey said, walking over to meet us. At that point, I expected Cole to stop her, but he rather followed behind her. Well, it's not like I expected him to show his hate towards me when Stacy and Turstin were there. “Thought you went on a vacation, Gael. And Mr. Turstin, thought you went for a business trip?” Stacey asked curiously. I took a quick glance at Cole who didn't say a word, but from my observation, seemed to be equally curious. Just then, I heard Turstin clear his throat, which made me take my gaze up at him at once. “Well, I actually went on a business trip, that was for sure. But then, after whe trip, I decided to go to Gael's hometown which wasn't far off.”What was Turstin s
**Stacy's POV**I paced from one end of the room to the next. It was the eve before my wedding to Cole. Even though I had accepted my fate to be with Cole, I just couldn't let go of my crush on Turstin just like that. If I don't do something about this. I'm scared that I'll lose him forever. Even if it's just for tonight. I wish to do something worthwhile. Something I'll be satisfied with. Even if I have to have sex with him, I don't mind at all. Today was Cole and I's engagement party. He was with his brothers in the Pack. Since the wedding was to take place in the pack, we all left the mansion to the Pack, and that included their minion named Gael. I still don't get it. Why are they so keen on having Gael with them wherever they go? To make things worse, he seemed to be closer to Turstin than I ever would be. Why is that? Because I'm about to be married to Cole. “Stacy, there you are! What are you doing on the balcony?”I turned my gaze towards the lady who was walking towards
**Turstin's POV***Though I have no idea why Stacy had wanted to see me, judging from her expression, I can tell that it's something important. There's no harm in hearing her out. I watched her lead the way while I followed behind her quietly. As soon as we got to the destination of her choice, which was a quiet corner in the pack house where people do not usually frequent, she turned around and instantly rushed over to meet me. She wrapped her hands around my neck and instantly placed her lips on mine. At that moment, I froze. It took me a few seconds to understand what's going on before I began to struggle to get her hands away from me. “What the fuck do you think you're doing, Stacy!” I yelled at her and managed to push her away from me. “What the fuck do you think you're doing?”“Alpha Turstin, have you any idea how long I've been in love with you?”This made me crease my brow in a frown. “I don't think I understand what you're trying to say.”“Of course, I know you wouldn't
**Gael's POV**Cole turned around to look in my direction Asif he had something to say to me, but then he didn't say anything, but rather tithed back to the door. I, on the other hand, was confused. What's going on? Why does it seem like Turstin was having a fight with someone in there? “Turstin, please don't chase me away. I love you. I've always loved you.”What? Why does that sound like the voice of Stacy? Instantly, I went wide in shock. I took my gaze up at Cole, who was still staring at the door. Not only that. I noticed he had both hands clenched into fists. But then, I also saw something strange about his fingers. Right in my very presence, not that I was dreaming or something, his fingers slowly began to go dark and elongate as well. Immediately, my heart stopped. I blinked in utter confusion. What's going on? Is something wrong with my vision or something? I mean, why do I even have such a terrible imagination? Do I hate Cole so much that I was beginning to see him as a
