He walked to the counter and stood there, as she walked to the corner table to drop the plate. Quickly, he adjusted his trouser and made sure she didn’t see anything amiss. He folded his arms, waiting for her to do or say something, anything, but nothing came. Instead, she walked to him where he stood and pressed into him. He could tell that she wasn’t thinking much of what she was doing because there was no embarrassed or flushed look on her face. She was only trying to grab the plate behind him. Her breasts pressed into his shoulder as she leaned over him, and as she walked away to return the plate to the sink where she had taken it from early, he imagined what it would have felt like to wrap his hands around her waist. Gabe was tired, if anything, he had tried and tried to stay away from Alex so that he wouldn’t lose control, but to what extent? He thought about her every damn day, no, every second, whenever he was working or not, not able to concentrate on things that needed con
Galatia was done exercising, so he took the towel he had dropped on the gum bench to wipe off the sweat he had on his forehead. He had been working out for as long as he could remember, especially those times he was too busy to run in the wild in his wolf form. He picked up the bottled water as well and drank half of the content as soon as he unscrewed the cap. He wasn’t sure he wanted to go home yet, knowing his grandmother had said he wanted to see him when he was back. He was scared that she was about to nag him about getting married, and that was the last thing on his mind. He had a private gym at home in his house, but he didn’t want to be at home at all, as he had been avoiding talking to her, but he had no choice but to get home soon. Galatia had found his mate two years ago, but she had been involved in a car accident that resulted in a fire explosion. The car had skidded so much it had leaked gas, and before anyone could get there to drag her out, she had exploded. Since t
The work for today was almost done, and he would be able to go meet with Detective Holmes as scheduled. That was funny, the name of the detective, and he had always lived up to his name, which was why he was on his retainer. He had gone from meeting to meeting today, and working as well, only getting about a ten-minutes break in between. He had managed to get something to eat for lunch and went right back to work like a machine. A knock sounded on his door, and his secretary poked her head in. “Sir, the last meeting you have for five o’clock has been canceled.” He frowned. “You know the reason? I wasn’t informed.” He said. His secretary walked into the office, closing the door behind her and he walked to him. “The client's flight was canceled so they can’t it anymore, but they said they would connect with us via skype, and they will tell me when that would happen.” She explained. He nodded with a sigh. Almost done for the day then. He would just have to call Detective Holmes to m
The dream was here again after another boring week had passed for her in Berkeley Moore. She woke up, startled as she sat on the bed, staring at nothing. Why would this dream come at her after all this while?She had stopped having this dream until recently, and it had only been for a few nights, but it was back again and she still doesn’t know how she would chase it away. When the dream had started, she had confided in her brother who had only laughed it off and later told their parents about it. They had told her to deal with it, and she had suffered in silence every night until she went to college and she was able to work three jobs just to stay in school and go to a therapist. It was true that she had gone to college on scholarship, but it hadn’t been enough to cover everything, only her tuition had been paid for, but every other amenity like books and hostel had been paid for by her as soon as she got her jobs. She had made sure that she wasn’t buried alive in student loans, so
Gabe could hear the footsteps behind him, because of his heightened sense of hearing, but whenever he turned to see who it was, he wasn’t seeing anything. He couldn’t smell the scent of whoever it was that properly because it was dead in the night, or as it was the early hours of the morning when dew would start to cover the plant. He was so deep in the heart of the forest surrounding his property that he couldn’t smell much of anything. He wasn’t running that fast, but whoever was behind him had not caught up, so that told him two things. It was either an animal or someone who doesn’t want him to know they were following him. Thankfully, he wasn’t someone anyone could hunt, whether human or animal, they weren’t a match for him. Besides, if someone was here, they would be trespassing as he owned this wood as well. Soon, the sound faded away, and he couldn’t hear anything but complete silence like it should. That was good. It was an animal and it had veered from the path it was on.
Leaping clumsily forward, she jumped over a log that lay on the path and something heavy slammed into her shoulders, sending her down into a pile of leaves that was on the floor. She was falling, and the wolf had now caught up with her. Everything happened in slow motion and she closed her eyes as she hit the ground the leaves being a canopy to cushion her fall. She watched as the wolf stood over her with its eyes shining from above. Alex had seen various kinds of animals, wild ones but only from the zoo or the television. She had never seen one this close to her in real life. When Cara had shifted from human to work just to show her what they looked like, she had been a bit scared with only the thought that it was her inside the wolf that comforted her, stopping her from running away. But with this wolf right in from of her, she could feel a sick amount of fascination mixed in her feat, and that bothered her. There should have been nothing to be fascinated about, faced with someth
Gabe had been spending some time working at home because he wanted to be closer to Alex ever since the accident in the woods. They had both concealed the real occurrence of what had happened that night, instead saying that she had walked out to the garden that night to take a breath of fresh air when she slipped and fell, and he happened to be awake and heard her. Admitting that Alex had followed him would make Dee and Ms. Alice realize that Alex was a curious person, and if there was one thing a werewolf doesn’t like, it was people especially humans sniffing around. They were already here to watch them both and keep them in check, so he didn’t add more. He would be going out later in the evening to meet Detective Holmes again. He could have told him to come here but he didn’t want anyone to know that he was meeting a detective aside asking the elders to find something out for him. They had met some days ago, and this would be their first meeting but first, he needed to see Alex.
Detective Holmes loved working for Alpha Gabe, and he had always been a freelance detective, which made him able to keep working for him as confidential as possible. This wasn’t the first case he had worked on for him, but this seemed like the biggest of them all, and he had concluded that because of the things he was starting to discover. Alpha Gabe had asked him to work as silently as possible because he didn’t want the elders to find out he couldn’t trust them enough to leave things entirely up to them, and that was the only thing that was slowing him down. Past times, it had always been something about work, but now, it had to do with the alpha's personal life, and that itself was an honor. He had something big he needed to work on for him, but this was turning out to be bigger than he thought it would be. It seemed as if so many things were connected, but he wasn’t sure how deep it was yet, and that was why he needed to go to where he had been given an address to. Alpha Gabe
