GABRIEL
I don't know why Kimberly is behaving like this. Is she upset with me that I didn't find her earlier. How do I explain her? I guess she is upset because I didn't accept her that night. I tried every means to reach her. Only if I knew she was with Aiden. Now, seeing her close to Aiden made my blood boil. If it weren't for the pack, I would have ripped his hand off her every time he touched her. I don't even want to look at him anymore. I can't stand that man now. If it weren't for my Kimberly, I would gladly let him go back. But for now, if he goes back, Kimberly will go back, too. That was so stupid of me to kiss her out of blue. She must be thinking I'm a dickhead. Gosh! I couldn’t let her finish that rejection shit. I wasn’t thinking straight. My wolf Ash got crazy when she was about to reject us. She has grown stronger. I wish I was a part of this journey. Now, the pack won't dare to raise a word against her. They will accept her as their Luna. "Kim, should we go on the walk after dinner?" I heard Aiden's voice as I was going towards the backyard. "Sure, but Moon is asking to go on a run." Kimberly replied. Moon? Is that her wolf's name? My jaw clenched at the thought of it. I never knew the name of her wolf and this mother fucker go on a run with her. I wish I could punch him right now. I have only seen her wolf once, that night. She was beautiful. Most gorgeous she wolf I have ever seen. I wish to see her again. Ash wants to feel her. "Silver is looking forward to spending time with Moon." Aiden replied. This guy is literally trying to sway my mate. I won’t let you succeed Aiden. Everyone gathered for dinner. My eyes were on Kimberly the whole time, and she didn't spare me a glance. Aiden was enjoying her undivided attention. "Brother, is something going on between Kimberly and Aiden?" Mark asked. "Whatever is going on between them won't last too long. I will get Kimberly back one way or other. She is my mate. Only Mine." I replied. Everything was going well until I saw Aiden wiping the sauce from her lips. I lost my shit. Ash surfaced. "Mine" He growled, getting everyone's attention. My possessive instinct kicked in. I was glaring at Aiden with a murderous glare . By now, I'm sure Aiden must have sensed that this possessiveness of my wolf indicates only one thing. Kimberly is my mate. "I would appreciate it if you keep your hands away from Kimberly, Alpha Aiden. My brother is trying too hard to control his wolf. " Mark warned Aiden. He withdrew his hand instantly. "Kim, Alpha Gabriel is acting strange. By any chance, is he your mate?" Nathan asked. For crying out loud, I'M HIS MATE. "Alpha Gabriel, stop making things difficult for us. We are only here to help your pack. Dont mix personal matters in it. Don't get your hopes high. I don't consider you my mate anymore. You better move on like I did." She stated. Each and every word was like a dagger in my heart. Aiden stood up and walked out with anger. Nathan and Kimberly followed him . "Brother, should we send Alpha Aiden back. Things are not going as we expected . " Mark said. "We can't let him go, not until Kimberly comes back to me. Where she originally belongs."'Kim, what if Mark is saying the truth. Our mate is innocent.' Moon voiced her thoughts. 'I don't know Moon. I'm confused, too.' I said. 'Why don't you talk to Aiden about it?' She stated. 'You are right. ' I called Aiden. "Hello, Aiden. I want to ask you something?" I spoke once the call connection. "Sure, go ahead." "Did Silver Claw contact you about my whereabouts before?" I asked. He responded after a little pause, " Yes, they did. It was the same day when I found you. They contacted us and asked if their Luna sought shelter in our pack. Silver Claw's new Luna went missing. It was the talk of the town. All packs were informed about this. We had no idea that you were the missing Luna." "Because I never told you. Anyway, thank you for telling me." "Is there anything else you need?" He asked. "No, bye." "Bye," I hung up . 'He was really searching for us Kimberly. He wanted us." Moon said. 'What if he was just pretending he already set to get me ki
Gabriel and I got into a heated argument after the training session. He keeps bothering me, and I can’t keep my cool. I gave him a piece of my mind . Aiden and Nathan came on the scene to cool things off. Aiden warned Gabriel to stay in his limits, and Gabriel was mad at him. If it wasn't for Nathan and Mark to handle it, they would have ended up beating each other to pulp. "Kim, should we head back to the pack if he is bothering you too much? " Aiden asked for the nth time since we came here. "After 3 days, we are going back anyway. I'll try to stay far away from that man. You don't have to worry about it . I can manage. I can beat him if necessary. " I chuckled. "You sure will." Aiden said with amusement. "Aiden, you need to come with me. I have something urgent to discuss with you. I got a call from the officials ." Nathan said. "Is it something serious? Is everything alright in the pack?" I asked with worry. "Everything is under control, Kim. Just usual, pack busines
GABRIEL The packhouse courtyard was glowing with lantern light. Strings of fairy lights blinked above the trees like fireflies trapped in glass, and laughter echoed through the clearing. Tables of food lined the stone path and wolves from every corner of the pack.I stood at the edge of the gathering, jaw clenched, whiskey untouched in my hand, eyes fixed across the crowd like a predator who had just spotted a threat.She is here. Finally.Kimberly And she wasn’t alone.She arrived late, and every head had turned to her when she stepped through the gate in that black dress that didn’t care about rules or Alpha events. Her dark curls were pinned up, gold jewelry catching the light with every step, and the man beside her was Aiden.I should have been the one by her side, not him.I had felt it the moment she crossed the pack border again . The mate bond pulled at me like a leash. But she didn’t look at me once. Not even a glance. She ignored me . And every time I initiated conversatio
"It's Gabriel’s birthday tonight. He is throwing a party and we are invited. " Nathan said. " Are you going?" I asked. "Of course we have to . It will look kinda rude to reject Alpha's invitation while we are staying in his pack." Nathan laughed nervously. "He is right. Kim, will you be my partner in today's event?" Aiden asked. "Of course I will. What about you, Nat? Did you find any partner?" I asked. "Please stop rubbing on my face every time, guys. I'm on my own. And in this pack , I can't go and pick a random girl." Nathan said. "It's fine, it's not like we are restricted to enter the party without a partner. " Aiden said. "I have arranged our outfits for the party." Nathan said. "You are a Savior Nat." I grinned at him. "Okay, guys, I'll see you at the party." Nat said and left. "You should go and rest before party. You have outdone yourself in today's training. " Aiden ruffled my hairs. I nodded and headed back to my room. On my way back, I was yanked by
"Aiden, come inside. " I said . "Kim, I wanted to talk to you but couldn't get the right opportunity. " He stated as he settled on the couch. "What is it?" I asked and settled beside him. I somehow know it must be about Gabriel. Since last night I have been waiting for Aiden to talk about that. It's time to clarify things. "Kim, I wanted to talk to you about Gabriel. Him being your mate is not your choice, but at least you could have told me. When you knew we were coming to this pack, you could have told me, but you didn't. When your connection to this pack was revealed, you still had a chance to tell me everything. I'm disappointed that I'm finding out things about you from other people, not from you. Now I feel like I don’t know anything about you. " I could sense the pain in his voice. He opened up to me about his mate and everything, and I have been hiding things from him all the time. "I'm so sorry, Aiden . I didn't mean any of this to happen. I never talked about my
"Vampires have attacked the Eastern border. " Panic surged in the pack. "Mark, get the warriors ready. " Gabriel commanded. Everyone got alert. We also gathered our warriors, ready to handle the situation. "Kimberly, stay close to me." Aiden said. I nodded. "Tell some of the warriors to stay behind if they attack from some other direction too." Aiden said, and Gabriel agreed with the plan. We marched towards the Eastern border, ready to deal with whatever hell was about to break on us. Guards at the borders were injured badly. Blood was scattered all over. A figure stepped from between the trees. Pale, lean, dressed in a tattered black coat. His eyes glowed faint red in the moonlight. "You wolves and your little forest games… So cute." The vampire said. Another vampire dropped silently from the trees behind him. Then another. Their smiles were sharp, hungry. Gabriel said, "You picked the wrong clearing." "No, you wolves are getting in our way." He smirked. "S
