Masuk“Gideon, how is this dress?” Angela called, drawing his attention to the royal blue gown in her hands.“We found these two the prettiest so far!” Rebecca beamed, holding up an identical gown as they approached the men.“It's...?” Ignoring them completely, Dash leaned closer to Gideon. “Well?”Gideon turned his icy gaze on him. Dash blinked expectantly, praying for an answer that would justify his sacrifice.“...A disaster.”Angela’s smile instantly faded as she halted before him. “Is it?”Dash caught Rebecca’s flushed face and nearly smacked his forehead before forcing a loving smile.“Perfect for you,” Gideon said smoothly, taking the gown from Angela. His eyes shifted to Dash. “I think you should try it first.”Angela eyed them suspiciously before taking the dress back. “O...Okay.”“Babe, don't you like it?” Rebecca asked, staring directly at Dash.“No... I mean yes! It's perfect!” he laughed stiffly.“Great! Then let's find matching suits for you!”The next four hours disappeared i
“Angela! Angela, look at me, Love!” Gideon called frantically, sensing the storm raging inside her. Her body trembled violently, consumed by fear, anxiety, and dread. He knew she had seen something horrific.His heart clenched as tears streamed down her cheeks while she stared blankly ahead. Only when He shook her hard, did her vacant gaze finally find his face, her heart quivering with terror.Was that a glimpse of the future? Angela knew Kesha’s voice without a doubt. That woman wanted not only her dead but Gideon as well. Axel wouldn't be spared either... nor her unborn child if she truly was pregnant. Everything she loved stood on the edge of destruction. She couldn't afford to sit back and wait for Kesha to make the first move.Gideon brushed away her tears, gently cupping her cheek. “Shh... everything's alright.”Angela swallowed hard before burying her face against his shoulder, wrapping her arms around him as though He might disappear if she loosened her grip. “It's more of a
“Gideon…” Angela’s body trembled as she gasped, staring down at herself. She was clad in nothing but a black lingerie set. All the effort she had put into looking perfect had gone to waste. Damn him! “What the hell did you just do?” she cried, heartbroken at the sight of one of her favorite dresses ruined beyond repair. Gideon merely hummed against her skin, trailing kisses from her shoulder to the mark on her neck that she wore with obvious pride. He tossed the shredded black dress somewhere behind him without a second glance. His hand wandered lower, teasing the edge of her panties.Angela’s body went rigid as her pulse quickened. His every hot touch sent sparks under her skin, stirring emotions she desperately tried to suppress. What had gotten into him all of a sudden? Had she truly awakened something dark inside him? “Gi…Deon. We should go…” she breathed shakily. “They’re waiting… for us.” She swatted his hand away, but a growl rumbled from his chest as He tightened his arms
“Did you tell him?” Nora asked quietly as they stepped out of the packhouse toward the driveway. “No.” Angela sighed. “It's not the right time. Besides, I'm not even sure yet, Nora. Let Axel’s birthday pass, then I'll take the test. I just... don't want to think about it right now.”Nora squeezed her hand. “Everything will be fine.” “I hope so.” As they approached the car, they spotted Dash and Rebecca openly making out. “Try not to traumatize my son. He's coming too,” Angela said dryly. Rebecca rolled her eyes. “Mama, he already caught us before.”She blew Angela a kiss while Dash released his mate and wrapped an arm around her waist. “You girls ready?” “Hmm. Where are Axel and Gideon?” Angela glanced around. Axel had been so excited for today that he'd insisted on driving separately with his father. “He's stuck in an important online meeting with a few Alphas, so he sent me instead,” Dash explained. “This man.” Angela clenched her jaw. “Axel has been looking forward to
“Will you come out, or should we break this damn door down, bitch?” Rebecca shrieked in frustration while Nora knocked again. “Angela, come out, girl. Say something!” Angela closed her eyes and sighed, sitting motionless in the bathtub. Damn her and her beast of a husband. Why hadn't she thought this through earlier? “Do you think she's even conscious enough to hear us? For all we know, she fainted in there. I'm telling you, it's positive! They've been at it like rabbits, so why the sudden shock?” Rebecca grunted. Angela rubbed her forehead. They had been drumming on her nerves nonstop. “It could just be food poisoning. You're exaggerating, Becca. Angela, come out and show us the result. Alpha will be here soon, and you don't want to push him over the edge with your antics,” Nora called. Angela tightened her grip around the pregnancy test and inhaled sharply. Oh
Angela took a deep breath to steady herself, but her body instinctively tensed under her husband's hawk-like stare. “If you need my help, don't hesitate to ask. I'm only a call away.” Draven nodded. “I know, Draven. You're my best friend for a reason. I can always count on you.” She smiled and hugged him. She could practically feel Gideon’s rage radiating against her skin. One look at his face and she knew He was imagining snapping Draven’s neck. Ever since she had left his office, He hadn't taken his eyes off her. “And thank you for always loving me. It means a lot,” she whispered. Draven sighed and hugged her back. “Even though I haven't forgiven your huge lie, I'm still grateful for everything you did for me.” “I know. And I don't regret any of it. If only fate hadn't played such a cruel joke.” He pulled away and squeezed her hand. “You'll always have a special place in my heart.”The suffocating tension around them thickened. Gideon looked one second away from dragging Drave
“I wanted to marry you. My only mistake was that I went out of the pack alone before our marriage date. But I was kidnapped, raped, and got pregnant. It was not my mistake, Gideon. I didn’t cheat on you. Your so-called wife did.”Gideon’s blood boiled so violently that his hand once agai
Daniela took a deep breath to suppress her apprehension and anger before walking inside with nervous steps. Her head was also bandaged from the impact of the blow Gideon gave her. “You called me?” She asked him. Gideon nodded, watching her with a stillness that was far more frightening than anger.
“I arranged for someone to train her. She will come from the Dusk Claws pack tomorrow.” Gideon informed Zamini, speaking as though Angela were not even present there. But his gaze never left her. The intensity in his stare was too much to endure, too dangerous to linger in that Angela averted he
“Gideon…” Angela breathed, and the single word carried relief, accusation, and longing all at once.His arms came around her before she even realized she was swaying. “Where were you?” Angela complained, forgetting the word around her. Her eyes were settled only onto the gorgeous yet grim face of h
