Mag-log in~Elvira~I snapped my head around just as Gabriel stepped up beside Rhys, his presence filling the space around us like he owned it.“Gabriel,” Rhys greeted with a nod. Gabriel returned it, but his eyes didn’t stay on the other male instead he locked them me…he crossed his arms over his broad chest and simply stood there, waiting…Rhys noticed, exhaled a sigh then turned back to me.“Call me, okay?”“Sure. You’ll take care of Neolla. Look out for her for me.”“Okay… but only if you promise to tell me if anything happens to you. If anyone mistreats you, just know Moonlakeville will always be open.” He pulled me into a hug. I returned it tapping his back. Gabriel’s second growl was lower and more dangerous…but Rhys didn’t release me…over his shoulder I met Gabriel’s eyes and deliberately rolled mine. His furrowed his brows…the muscle in his jaw flexed hard…“Isn’t that enough?” He barked with an angry rumble. “That’s more than a friendly hug.”I stepped out of Rhys’s arms. He looke
~Elvira~“We are going to miss you, kiddo,” Uncle Silas said, pulling Neolla into one last hug. His arms lingered longer than necessary, as if he could somehow keep her from leaving if he just held on tight enough. “Remember to call. If they treat…” He added in a roughened voice as he finally released her.“Uncle Silas!” She cut him off. “Don’t start again. I heard everything you said last night. If they dare treat me badly, I have you to call. Yes, yes, I know…thanks.” She added with a tear running down her cheeks.I stood a few steps away, watching the exchange with an ache in my heart…Aria stood beside me, her presence gave me a little comfort... I had been discharged by Dr. Miranda only that morning…After a full night’s sleep and enough rest, my body felt almost normal again…except for the dull throb in my joints…the lingering soreness in my jaw and neck, and that faint heaviness in my stomach….Apart from that… I was fine….or at least, that was what I kept telling myself.I wa
~Elivira~ Cold sweat broke out on my neck. I shook my head slowly as fresh tears pooled in my eyes. "You do not want to remain in my pack because you finally earned your warrior badge," Gabriel continued, voice filled with pain. "You think you do not need my protection anymore? So make your call. I will hand you a warrior position here in Silverblade. Hell, I will double your pay. Name your price. Pick now: Leave with him to Moonlakeville, or stay here in Silverblade. But use your head whatever you decide." Gabriel shoved his hand into his pocket, pulled out a small glass bottle of milk and tossed it on the bed next to my leg. He turned and walked out. Cole raised a hand in an apology. "I am sorry for the chaos Elvira. We ruined your rest." He glanced toward the hallway where Gabriel had vanished, then followed him out. I sat glued to the bed, unable to speak.. the exertion from my powers had drained my stamina, and the emotional wreckage left by my mate weighed much on
~Elvira~ Gabriel stepped into the room with Cole following close behind, but the beta stopped cold in the doorway as he took in the shift in his posture. I watched Gabriel’s nostrils flare the second his gaze landed on Rhys sitting close to my bed. "I will take that statement I overheard by the door as a mistake," he growled with his eyes still locked onto Rhys. I rolled my eyes at his attitude. I had just woken up and his main priority was throwing a fit over Rhys’s offer? "And if it wasn't?" Rhys stood up. He threw his shoulders back meeting the Alpha’s glare head-on. A gasp caught in my throat. This voice did not belong to the calm young man who trained alongside me months ago. Had he worn a mask of submission the entire time? I shifted forward to get a better view of him as he stood backing me. Gabriel closed the space between them until they breathed in each other's air... their heights were almost matched, but his broader frame carried the weight of an establish
~Elvira~ "You are four weeks pregnant," Dr. Miranda repeated. "However, somehow, your wolf has been masking the scent of the pup. It's a rare instinctual defense, though I don't fully understand why she's doing it. And given the heavy blow you took to your stomach during the match…" "Woah, please calm down!" I gasped as my hands flew to my abdomen…panic flared in my chest. "I don't…” I shook my head “I am pregnant?" My mind was spinning with a million thoughts. I couldn't even process the words coming out of her mouth. "Yes," Dr. Miranda answered watching my weird reaction with a puzzled crease in her brows. "I'm sorry... isn't this good news? I was under the assumption that the Alpha should be informed immediately, considering the rumors that you are his mistress..." The word mistress stung! Like a slap. But my eyes widened in shock at her suggestion. "No!" I blurted out. "Why not?" Dr. Miranda asked bewildered. "He deserves to know. . . unless he isn't the father?" Sh
~Elvira~ When I woke up, the first thing I registered was the bright white light... then shifted my sore body on the bed. "Oh no... not the hospital again..." I groaned. Someone laughed beside the bed making me jump in suprise… it was Aria. "You really don't like this place, do you?" She asked as my eyes adjusted to the room. Does anyone? I questioned internally. A dull pain sting the side of my neck as I turned. I raised my hand to touch the sensitive skin only to feel thick strips of bandages wrapped around my throat. "It's almost healed," Aria assured me stepping closer into my field of vision. "How are you feeling?" "Thirsty," I rasped...my throat feels dry. She nodded and walked over to a small bedside table…picked up a single tablet of glucose sitting beside a water distiller…the exact same brand Gabriel had given me to restore my stamina during my earlier sets. "Did Gabriel come here?" I asked unable to stop the question from slipping… out of curiosity.
~Elvira~The gray wolf, the leader of the group, snapped his jaws and took a step forward. I lunged first. If the circle closed completely, death was guaranteed.I drove straight at a smaller, wire-haired brown wolf to my right, my shoulder slammed into his chest, knocking him flat into the dirt,
~Elvira~ “Come in,” Gabriel’s deep voice called out when I knocked. I opened the door and stepped inside. The living room was bathed in the soft morning light, with its large windows and modern furniture. Gabriel was sitting around a table near the window, across from him sat the Mat
~Elvira~ "Elvira! Open up! Its me, Neolla ! We heard! We totally heard!" 'Oh shit' i groaned, By now the whole pack must have heard what happened in the kitchen. I pulled the heavy bolt back, Neolla and Aria practically fell into the room. "Is it true?" Aria squeaked, grabbing my hands
~Elvira~ As I stepped out of the bathroom then put on my clothes Gabriel bagged into my room, why was he here now? Had he sensed something? I wondered "What went wrong?" he demanded. "I... I don’t know what you mean," I stammered. I tried to look away, terrified that he would see the silver sw
