The Stray Alpha Chapter 30: One Step At A Time
Gabriel POVGabriel froze as he processed what Lucy was saying. She looked completely torn up and worried as she let a few tears out. It made complete sense why she was so worried to tell him. The societal pressure of having children can be stressful, but even in shifter culture having pups was important. Especially for the Luna to help the Alpha's lineage endure. "I found out that nymphs struggle with pregnancy and infertility. It's a classic nymph trait. What if someday we want kids? And I can't do that for you? I couldn't live with myself," Lucy choked and more of her tears started to fall.Gabriel growled low, feeling protective toward his mate. "Lucy, I can't live without you. If we can't have kids, then so what? I'm not going to put that pressure on us, okay? Stop that… don't cry, Freckles." Gabriel hated that Lucy was obviously in turmoil with this new piece of research she discovered about her ancestors.Gabriel continued, "Besides, not all hope is lost. If we want, we can
The Stray Alpha Chapter 31: Cat Got Your Tongue?
Gabriel POVThe sounds of birds reached Gabriel's ears as he stretched in their tent. The birds chirps and the pitter-patter of lizards and other animals outside told him morning had spoken and awoken him from the most wonderful dream. He turned to see Lucy asleep facing him with a blanket wrapped around her chest and torso. Her legs and shoulders were bare, hinting at what they had done the previous night.He smiled as he admired her features once more. They had a long night and taking the morning slow was definitely a welcome idea. Lucy looked peaceful as her hands rested on the pillow. He brushed her face gently with his fingertips, feeling her creamy smooth skin.She moaned softly in reaction to his skin against hers. He smiled as she opened her eyes sleepily as the sunlight peeked into the tent. Gabriel grinned thinking about all of the things they had done just a few hours ago. Lucy slowly smiled back at him with a yawn."So, it wasn't a dream?" she asked with a whisper. Her
The Stray Alpha Chapter 32: Nothing Better To Do
Gabriel POVAfter a beautiful retreat together, Gabriel had a hard time leaving Lucy at her aunt's house. He held her tightly as they hugged inside the front door. "I don't want you to go," Lucy whispered in his ear, wrapping her arms around his neck.He squeezed his eyes shut burying his nose in the crook of her neck. It pained him greatly having to leave her. He wished he could stop time so they could enjoy each other's company in peace, with no more interruptions."Please promise me I'll see you soon," Lucy said and kissed his cheek. "Yes, I'd like to have you over at my place. I'll make dinner, and you should stay the night," Gabriel said with a wink. "Can't have me away from your bed for too long, huh?" Lucy giggled with a blush. "Freckles, if I had my way you'd never leave my bed. Sometime I'd like to talk more about our future, you -" Gabriel was interrupted by Samson pounding down the stairs,holding onto a sweatshirt in apparent haste.Samson looked at them and shou
The Stray Alpha Chapter 33: He Hasn't Marked You Yet?
Gabriel POVThe tension in the room was so thick Gabriel felt like he could cut it with a knife. If his uncle could blast fire from his eyes, he would with the look he was giving them. Fennick's face was contorted into an irate angry frown, his eyes flashing with contempt and disdain. "An act of extending a branch of peace," Gabriel answered tactfully with a serious look directed at his uncle. His uncle stared him down as if daring Gabriel to continue looking him in the eyes. Gabriel felt a pulsing buzz throughout his body that he had never felt before. He felt stronger and more confident. The power to speak out against his uncle was radiating from him.Uncle Fennick broke away from Gabriel's gaze with a look of doubt and concern. "Fine. If that's what this is, I'll accept the branch of peace for now. I can admit when my pack members act out of naivety and stupidity.""Thank you," Gabriel answered with a nod. "We appreciate that and look forward to being neighboring packs."Unc
The Stray Alpha Chapter 34: I Should Have Told You
Gabriel POVGabriel tapped his foot against the kitchen floor. He was thinking about everything that had happened that day on the Moonlight Pack's land, Lucy's run-in with his uncle, and the meal he was making for her that should hopefully be ready by the time she got here. He was excited to have his mate come join him at his home on the stray compound. Perhaps they could even have some more privacy.He tapped his foot quicker thinking about how Lucy told him she wanted to speak to him about what his uncle had said to her. Supposedly, his uncle pointed out that he has not marked Lucy yet. He groaned audibly from frustration as he stirred the pasta into the shrimp scampi sauce he had made.He heard voices building outside his house. He could hear one voice that was undeniably Lucy's. She sounded happy, chittering away to someone. Who could it be? It didn't sound like Sara.He set the spoon down and moved the pan from the hot burner to let the homemade meal cool. He took a deep breat
The Stray Alpha Chapter 35: They Can Wait
Lucy POVLucy stared across the table at Gabriel, watching his face contort in confusion. She knew how it sounded, but she was more than confident in their relationship. She wanted this."Hold up," Gabriel responded, putting his hands up in a time-out gesture. "You want me to mark you? Why?""If marking me means that our mate bond is solidified even more than I want that. Gabriel… I … I know exactly who I want in my life. I love you. You are my love, there is nobody that compares to you." Lucy blushed as she spoke but continued triumphantly getting her point across.Gabriel's eyes stared back at her as she spoke and he barely moved. Did she say something that rubbed him the wrong way?"You love me?" he asked, standing and kneeling down in front of her with a bewildered expression."I love you," Lucy whispered, lifting a hand to touch his cheek.Gabriel smiled with a goofy grin and pulled her lips against his in a fervent kiss. Lucy blinked in shock but kissed him back just as lo
The Stray Alpha Chapter 36: No More Touchy-Touchy
Lucy POVLucy wondered if she had perhaps been too ambitious when she asked to join Gabriel during a training session. Did they not like that she had come to see what training was all about? Suddenly a clapping came from one corner of the gym and the other shifters joined in. Some had smiles on their faces, while another shifter whistled loudly. They seemed ecstatic. "See? They are thrilled you are joining us. They want you to approve of their hard work," Gabriel explained with a wave at his pack. "Does my opinion really matter that much to them?" Lucy asked, feeling relieved and confused at the same time. Why did they want her to approve?"Yes, as Luna you are their leader too," Gabriel spoke into her ear pushing her toward a boxing ring. "Some Alphas don't give the Lunas enough credit, but in our pack we honor Lunas. My mom was like a First Lady to them; a queen even. Don't forget your worth my love.""Hey guys," Vance called walking over to them with a smile. "Lucy, we met
The Stray Alpha Chapter 37: Deal
Gabriel POVGabriel felt Lucy's thigh muscles tense as they heard Sara ask about why Moonlight Pack members were entering the liquor store across the street. He furrowed his eyebrows as he made note of the baseball bats they were carrying into the store. That could not be good.Someone must have called the cops because quickly pulling up to the store were three cop cars. They jumped out of their cars with their guns drawn. "Looks like those baseball bats will be no match for the cops," Vance said, taking another sip of his smoothie."Were they going to rob the store?" Sara's tone was filled with shock."I think they may have," Lucy replied, pointing as the cops came out with Barry and the other Moonlight Pack members in handcuffs. Barry was shouting so loud that they could hear every word in the smoothie shop."You can't arrest me! Do you know who I am? My dad works for Fennick Herman, he'll bail me out. Just you wait and see!" Barry bellowed as the police officer shoved his hea
