Chapter 32Rachel p.o.vI didn't like this pack, not at all, I had to keep it to myself for the first couple of days. I was trying to find a redeeming quality but had decided to discuss it with Gabriel ." Gabriel?" I ask through the link." What up sweetheart ?" I smile at his voice in my head ." This pack is so awful ". I say firmly and I think I have shocked him a little ."Why?" Did they do something to you? Did someone hurt you? He asked worriedly." No, but this is basically a military compound , every moment of the day is already scheduled ,they barely have any free time , they train like warriors. They don't even have a separate pack house for kids, it is terrible. I complained and I can feel Gabriel worrying about me through the bond." You don't have to stay there sweetheart , I will try to see if the next pack can take you in , in a few days early or you could come home for a few days , whatever you wish to do. He offers sweetly and my heart aches at the idea of going ho

Chapter 34Rachel p.o.vEthan and I were surrounded by at least twelve rogues, all of them snarling and stinking like rotten flesh. Ethan tries to stand in front of me protectively,but he and I both knew that even he couldn't take on this many at once."Shift". I told him and we both jumped,landing on our paws. It had been a long time since I had seen Ethan wolf and the brown monstrosity somehow looked like it was on steroids. I had never seen so much muscle on a wolf and I was hoping that would translate to strength while still maintaining some speed because these rogues were lean, meaning they were fast. My light brown wolf shook out her fur and puffed out her chest, giving the illusion of confidence .Which in all honesty wasn't that misplaced, both if my parents are fierce warriors. I got my mom's speed and agility mixed with my father's quick thinking. I could use some work on brute force front, but my lean frame allows me to be faster which mixed with quick decision making is mo

Chapter 36Gabriel P.O.VWaking up next to Rachel felt like I was still dreaming, her soft snores filled the otherwise quiet room and I kept my arms wrapped around her tightly. I was thrilled when she said she would give me a chance hopefully, that means no more pushing away. I'll understand if she still gets upset and angry sometimes, I don't expect her to forget the way I treated her in the past just because of the mate bond. Well, my side of the mate bond, knowing that she can feel it a little now too well, that amazing. I tuck my face into her neck to breathe her in, keeping the rest of me still so she can sleep some more. She was exhausted, hurt, and scared. I'm hoping that is not the only reason why she kissed me. That use of that kiss was the most amazing thing I've felt in my entire life. She rolls a little in my arm to face me and nuzzles her face into my chest before letting out a little rumble in her chest. I smile at the affection knowing that even in her sleep she is enjo

Chapter 38Gabriel's P.O.VI felt Rachel stiffen under me. It was then I realized that my canines were out. I was really close to marking her right now and I wasn't sure if she would want me to stop or continue." Gabriel". Wait she says quietly that pulls my wolf from his rabid desire to sink its teeth into his mate. I moved away, pushing myself off and off her looking away into the forest ashamed of my lack of self control." I'm sorry Rachel ". I say more like a whisper standing and walking a few feet away from her. I hear her sigh as she stands behind me, she was right behind me the next second wrapping her arms around my waist and resting her head on my back."You have nothing to be sorry for,I can't imagine how hard it is for you to hold yourself back from marking me". She says trying to comfort me,I turn to wrap her in a firm hug." You are not mad at me?" I ask pulling away to search her eyes. She shakes her head smiling back at me." If you didn't stop, I would have been mad"

Chapter 40Gabriel P.O.V"Debbie? Do you remember what happened the last time you tried to fight me? I'm surprised you want a recap of that". Rachel says smugly from my side, but I could feel her reluctance leaking through the mate bond. She doesn't want to fight to the death, not only does she not want to die she doesn't want to kill anyone either.Even if it is Debbie, I'm half tempted to end her life here and now." Debbie, leave. We will discuss this when everyone has calmed down. My father orders her to act like she wants to argue and look over at me longingly. I growl at her and she stands, scowling at Rachel." Will you come to see me later?" She had the nerve to ask me and I huffed a laugh at her." If you see me later, I will be there to kill you". I tell her through clenched teeth. She rolled her eyes before exiting the room, my mother slamming the door behind her." That Conny little trollop". My mother mutters and Rachel manages to laugh at that." Is it possible what she
