Why are you so willing to trust this man? Emily wondered to herself as she began to slowly follow him toward the town he lives in. Shouldn’t the last few days have shown you that trusting men has not been the best idea? So far you have been betrayed by family and two other men that you had no relation to. While Emily had these thoughts going through the rational side of her brain, the other side was turning to mush with how nice and attentive he was being.
Every few steps he would stop and turn around to help her step down from a rock, or help her over a fallen tree. It almost seemed like he was really just looking for any excuse to help to touch her. Emily could not lie. There were a few times that she intentionally let her hand linger in his for a few extra seconds. Emily liked the way that her hand felt in his. She could easily see herself falling for Gabriel if she were to stay. No. Stop. S

Emily’s heart was racing in her chest as she slowly backed away from Conri. She gave a little gasp as her back bumped into a tree. When she looked up she saw that Conri was closing the distance between them. “Do you want to know why,” he asked. “Why,” Emily asked breathlessly. “Because we are the Alpha King,” he growled. Conri grabbed her upper arms and pulled her to him as his mouth came crashing down on hers. Emily’s squawk of protest quickly died down at the sensation of his mouth on hers. She had kissed a few guys before but they were absolutely nothing like this. She could easily become addicted to kissing Gabriel and Conri. Everywhere that he touched with his mouth or han

After sharing all of her feelings and concerns, and Gabriel so easily agreeing to move at a pace that she is comfortable with, Emily did not really know what to do or say. Things were not quite awkward between them per se, but they were different too. “So…umm…” Emily started awkwardly, “Do you think we should head on to the town? I know that after being in the woods the last few days and running, that I could definitely use a shower,” she finished with an attempted joke. “Yes,” Gabriel said. “For the record though, you smell great to me,” he said with a smile and offered her his arm. Emily smiled and gladly accepted his arm. They continued like that for a while at a slow pace s

Gabriel heard Emily groan and put her head in her hands. He could just imagine how much she was worried about making a good first impression. He did not know how to tell her that she could have been a hunter and no one would have cared. The fact that she was his long awaited mate and the fact that she was saving him from becoming feral, was enough for her to be placed on the highest pedestal with everyone.How is everything going? Is my castle still standing? Gabriel asked Hunter. I was debating about messaging you! Everyone else just got back a couple of hours ago, but no one would tell me where you were. They pretty much had to gag Axel, so I figured that you were o

Samuel? Gabriel sent out. What the hell do you want? Samuel’s wolf Darius growled back. Darius. Gabriel said, sending a little of his alpha command power through the link. I have not done anything to make you speak to me like that. I have respected yours and Samuel's wishes to be left alone for the most part. Let me speak to Samuel. Conri knew that Samuel and Darius were old friends, but he could not tolerate the disrespect. I’m sorry alp

I did not know that my mother had any family still alive,” Emily said in awe.“I didn’t know that you had a sister,” Gabriel said at the same time with his brow furrowing. He and Conri were also partially relieved that Samuel would not be a romantic threat, but now he would be a pain in Gabriel’s side as her uncle. On the positive side though, Gabriel probably just found the leverage he needed to get Samuel to come back.“Maybe you should come in and have a seat,” Samuel said, gesturing to the cabin. I think this story might take a while. Also, I think all of this started because someone needed to use the restroom.” As he began to lead the way into the cabin, Samuel turned around and looked at Emily. “Maybe we can fill in some information for each other after you use the restroom. I would like to

Gabriel growled at the same time that Emily pailed. “I knew that he was crazy, but are you sure that he is willing to kill to have me,” Emily asked. “He was awful to me when I was there,” she said, pointing to her face. She shivered just recalling her short stay with Lord Rotterford.“Yes. I can tell that this is a story that I want to hear. Give me five minutes to throw some clothes in a bag, and we can be off,” Samuel said hurrying to a closed door behind the sofa.Not five minutes later they were back in the SUV and heading toward town. Hunter was driving and Samuel was up front with him. Gabriel and Emily were in the back. Gabriel had his back to the window while Emily was leaning against him so that she could prop her knee up.“Tell me what hap

“You mean that my uncle forced me to get engaged to my mother's killer,” Emily almost shrieked. “Did he know? What the hell,” Emily said while freaking out. She was trying to remain calm so that Gabriel and Conri would not go on a warpath, but this was almost too much. Learning that your mom died because she was too weak after trying to protect you. To learn that you have lived with your mother’s killer for the last five years. Learning that you may or may not have some great abilities. That so many people are willing to kill you and others for these abilities. Was it worth finding out? Would everyone be safer if she never found out if she was more than just human. Emily just wasn’t sure what to think anymore. She could even see why Samule had been reluctant to tell her everything earlier. It is all information that she needed to know, but there is also just so much. She regre

“Agatha,” Gabriel said, “how do you know my mate?” “She used to visit me most nights. I taught her early on how to dream walk. I think you were about two or three when you first started coming to see me,” Agatha asked looking at Emily. “I’m not sure. I know that I was very young. I remember that you used to always have the best cinnamon rolls. You would always have some waiting for me. I know for a while I used to come just for the cinnamon rolls,” Emily said embarrassed. “I know you did child,” Agatha said, smiling kindly. Her face was weathered and wrinkled, but Emily saw a lot of
