Chapter 9 - Gabriel
I want her. Badly. I don’t just want a midnight romp though. I never want to have a day that I don’t see her beautiful face. I want to know what it is about her that makes people feel at ease when she is around. The minute she walked in that door everything changed. Not only for me, she is my mate, so that is a given. I suppose part of me knows that there is a tether between us that I won’t be able to resist, but Joe leaving the kitchen when someone has come in.
He wouldn’t normally do that. He prides himself of his work ethic. Not a big deal though.We all have our off days, so I didn’t think anything of it. Sherry leaving me to close the bar without her I didn’t see coming, but the real kicker was Frank and Josh. Those two crotchety old bastards don’t care about anything but their lawn, their wallets and closing Sherry’s Bar. For one, they are frequent customers here and they know the price of a beer. They wouldn’t fall for what she pulled with the daytime bar tender L

“It wasn’t your fault, you know that right”, I say to him feeling his sadness, mixed with guilt. I can feel his hurt and I want to take it away. I can, but that would never truly heal him. It would all come rushing back out of nowhere. A memory, something familiar that reminds him of the thing causing him pain will have it all come rushing back with a fury. It would be worse, cruel even. He lowers me back down so that I am standing in front of him.Worried that I stepped over a boundary I look up to him searching his eyes for what I should do. I open a boundary just a little bit to see if I can get a hint of what he is feeling. Maybe I can do some damage control, and salvage this, whatever this is. He raises his hand to the back of his neck and forces a smile. I can tell whatever it is, it’s a sensitive subject. “I’m sorry,” I tell him “That was probably int

Driving around waiting for the pull, I feel around in my head for Lily but she still hasn’t returned with any news. It’s after noon so Gabe has been missing for almost twelve hours. Out of nowhere Lily pops into my head telling me to turn right; now. I slam on my brakes and almost miss the turn. The car behind me honking its horn in protest to my sudden diversion. “Lily, what did you find?” I ask her. “Nada from the guy that snatched him, but lucky for us Gabe knows where he is.” She tells me, explaining that she was able to contact a very pissed off inner wolf.“Ok, where is he?” I ask. “There is an old barn about a mile up on the left. He’s in there” she tells me “But Hannah, I think you should call the deputy, these people are dangerous” she warns me. “How many are there?” I ask her. “Two, but Hannah,

I hear a strangled howl from below the floor under Jeff. Looking at me they both make a move to grab me. Dodging Jeff and snatching the other guy’s wrist I twist him around and shove his face into the grill of the tractor. His head making a sickening thud and he falls to the ground down for the count. That was too easy. I turn to face Jeff and he is on me before I can dodge him again. He tackles me to the floor and lands on top of me. He stinks, like halitosis and mildew. He maneuvers his legs so he is straddling me and grabs my neck with both hands choking me. I use my arms, thrusting them up between his breaking his choke hold on me and knocking him off balance. I am able to jump up before he has time to recover and kick him in the face as hard as I can. Twice.With them both out cold I reach down and remove the laces from my boots, and hog tie them both. Fucking animals, serves them right.&

The last thing I remember is dropping the keys to Sherry’s in the mail slot. Beating myself up for not going after Hannah, I was considering going over to her room to explain. It wasn’t anything against her, I just wasn’t expecting it. It was like she was reading my mind and it threw me off. I woke up to the sound of Ray, the pack doc telling someone that I’m damn lucky to be alive. The amount of wolfsbane in my system was enough to kill our whole pack. “Those idiot meth heads were trying to get a ransom for him to feed their habit, and almost killed him.” I hear Deputy Scott say. “She saved his life?” Uncle Bob asks.“Hannah” My voice sounds ragged and harsh like I haven’t spoken in weeks. I don’t know how long I have been out, or if she even stuck around. I open my eyes and see that I am home in my own bed. I have a splitting headache, an

“I think I am going to need help in the shower. Wouldn’t want me to fall now, would you?” he says with a devilish grin and winks at me. “Do it!” Lily says, and I say fuck it and take off my giant t-shirt. “Oooooooh you hussy!” Lily sings at me. “Go away Lily” I tell her, and she does.I look at Gabe, clearly surprised, one hand on his hip and the other nervously stroking his thick beard. Standing there in nothing but my panties I put my hands on my hips and ask, “What? I cant get my favorite night shirt all wet!” pressing his lips together he hums “mmmh mmh mmh” and picks me up by the waist lifting me over the edge of the tub standing me up in the shower.I yelp at the sudden motion, and Gabe kneels in front of me with his hands on my hips he traces the seam of my panties and pulls them down. I lift my legs one at a time letting him remove

I walk out of the bathroom with my towel around my waste and I see Hannah curled up in the middle of my bed asleep with a towel on her head. She is wearing one of my shirts and I am glad to see her make herself at home. It’s strange to me that none of this feels new. It’s as if she has been here the whole time. I get dressed and head over to the pack house. My uncle is going to want to talk to me, I’m surprised he hasn’t barged in demanding answers already.I walk in and my little cousin Sarah runs up and jumps into my arms. “Gabe! I was worried. Dad said that you were hurt, but I couldn’t go see you because you looked gross.”, she rattles off. “Well, I don’t know what I looked like but I certainly felt gross.”, I tell her. “Where is your dad?” I ask. She points to his office, and I put her down. “Imma go watch TV.” She sa

I can’t believe I fell asleep after having already slept for almost a whole day. True, I wasn’t getting any sleep the whole time Gabe was unconscious, but you would think 18 hours would be enough. Im awakened by someone kissing my head. As I am stretching out I open my eyes to the most beautiful man I have ever seen. “hey Gabe.” I yawn. “Hey” he says sitting down on the bed beside me. With his hand resting on my hip he is looking down at me stretched out on his bed like I am the most interesting thing to have graced his presence. He really is a beautiful man. I'm looking up at his green eyes and my eyes travel down to his pouty lips. Yep, I'm a gonner.I prop my head up on my elbow and he puts his hand on my waist. “How long have I been asleep?” I ask. “bout 45 minutes”, he replies. Well that’s not so bad. When I sit up he

I had mixed feelings when I saw what remained of the burn on Hannah’s palm. Frustration that Sarah was hurt in the first place. Pride that my mate was able to help her. Heartbreak knowing that her ability to heal means that she has to endure the affliction of the person she helps. Does this mean that she felt what I felt while I was recovering? “No,” she says. “What I did for you was different.” She continues. “How do you know that is what I was thinking?” I ask her. “I’m pretty good at reading people.” She confides.“So, can you explain all of this to me?” I ask. “I am aware that you aren’t like any other human, and you know what I am. Being here for two weeks I’m sure that you have witnessed some strange things.” I can tell that she is really thinking about what she is going to say. This is uncomfortabl
