Grayson:It's getting pretty late, and Gabriel hasn't returned yet. I guess I'll just go to sleep without him. After getting ready for bed, I turn off the lights and right as I slip into the covers, I hear the doorknob turn. I smile as my mate walks in, but my eyebrows furrow as I sense something's off. "What's wrong?" I ask. "Hmm?" He turns back to lock the door."Did something happen?" "No. Why?" I can't explain why I feel like something's wrong... Maybe it's all in my head."I just had a feeling." My eyes widen as he removes his shirt and pulls down his pants. "Hey! We're not doing that again tonight.""Aww man," he replies childishly, getting in bed next to me. "I'm kidding Gray, I know. But I used to sleep in my underwear all the time before I started sleeping next to you. It's more comfortable.""... I could definitely get used to this," I purr, running my hand down his abdomen and feeling all his muscles."Keep doing that and you'll be even sorer tomorrow morning." I quickl
Gabriel:“Please don’t leave me.” Her arms tighten around my bare chest. “As much as I’d love to stay in bed with you, I have to go,” I say, trying to loosen her grip. “But you’re so warm and cuddly...” I chuckle at her cuteness.”We can cuddle again tonight. I have to go now baby.””Tonight? But...” I turn around to face her, staring into those enchanting green eyes."But what?""... Nothing.""Is something wrong Gray?" We stare at each other for a while, before she looks away."Am I being too clingy?" She asks shyly. "There's no such thing as too clingy," I respond, bringing my arms around to pull her closer."Ever since you left me for so long... I wanna be with you all the time. It happened so fast Gabriel, I'm scared it'll happen again. If I leave you for even a second... I might never see you again..." I feel my heart sink to the bottom of my chest. A feeling of humiliation waves over me. An Alpha's mate should never feel like this. She shouldn't feel scared that might lose
Grayson:A million thoughts run through my mind as I'm getting ready for bed. She wants to take our baby from us.Wait, why am I worrying about this? She'll probably lose interest in a couple years, and we'll be fine. I mean we're not planning on having kids anytime soon, right?"Why not?" ... Who was that?"It's your wolf." Grace?"No, that's not me. Someone else is talking to you." My wolf says. Huh? I'm not mind-linking anyone, how is someone talking to me in my head? I feel a mild headache coming. I fall into my pillow, trying to ease the pain.I'm so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Gabriel walk out of the shower until I heard the bathroom door close.My eyes trail up his perfectly sculpted body, covered only by a towel wrapped around his waist. Little droplets of water trickle down his defined torso. He reaches up to dry his hair, putting his lean biceps on display. I can't help but stare; he looks godly. My breathing gets slightly heavier as a familiar feeling
1 month later...Gabriel:I smooth down my suit as I’m waiting for Grayson to get ready. I’m taking her out on another date tonight, and I can’t wait.Even though it’s been months since our first date, I still get pretty nervous everytime I ask her out. Especially because she always looks breath-taking when we go on a date. I mean she’s beautiful all the time, but when she gets all dressed up, she’s just another level of gorgeous.I glance away at the clock impatiently. She should be done anytime soon now. I turn back around just as the door opens and as always, my jaw drops in awe.My mate walks out in a sparkly, nude-coloured dress, reaching down to her ankles. The neckline is quite plunging, and I can't help but stare delightedly at her wonderful curves. She notices and giggles, smacking my arm softly:"My eyes are up here."My gaze trails up her alluring green eyes. Her eyeliner made the vibrant colour stand out even more, and gave her eyes a sexy foxy shape. I could feel my heart
Grayson:The events of last evening left me so confused. How can I be someone else’s mate when I have Gabriel? He wasn't lying either: I felt the sparks and the same bond I felt with Gabe when we first met. Of course, it was nowhere near as strong as the bond between Gabriel and I now, but I still felt slightly drawn to the other guy, no matter how much I tried not to be.But I instantly forgot all about him as soon as we got home. Let’s just say, Gabriel and I had a very passionate night. And wow, that man sure knows how to make me see stars. A part of me felt a bit jealous, knowing that he got all that skill from practicing with other girls in the past. I also felt a bit self-conscious, seeing how inexperienced I am compared to him, but he always assured me he didn't mind at all."I have to get up now baby," He says in his husky morning voice. I hug his arm tighter, frowning."But it feels so cold when you leave the bed.""I wish I could stay too, but today's important. Some other p
Gabriel:I watch as she runs back to the castle, sniffling, before looking down at the now unconscious body beneath me. I couldn't understand why Grayson was crying. This male was asking for a beating; he had approached her twice, trying to take her away from me, and even put his hands on her.Wait... If he can feel the mate bond towards her, that means she can feel it too. Fuck, that’s why she kept trying to stop me.I growl angrily, wrapping my hands around his neck, wanting to kill him right here. I can’t let my mate have feelings for anyone else.My grip loosens when I remember Grayson’s crying face a few moments ago. If I kill him, she surely won’t forgive me. Plus, she’ll feel the terrible pain of their bond being broken, and I can’t let my mate go through any pain...I get up, giving him one final kick to please my wolf, before going to find Gray. Her words replay in my mind while I run towards our bedroom:"I might love you now, but it was still wrong of you. And the worst par
Grayson:"I apologize once again Alpha, and Luna. And I wish you both have a great life," Garrett says. He's leaving today, since he had to stay at our pack hospital for a couple days after that beating Gabriel gave him, but at least I finally learned his name. "Leave. If I ever see you near her again, I won't hold back." Gabe retorts, pulling me behind him. I smile internally at his possessiveness. "I understand, Alpha." The Beta lowers his head in submission, before turning towards his car. "Wait!" I call, stepping forward. Both males look at me, puzzled. "Yes, Luna?" Garrett asks. I roll my eyes at how formal he's being, knowing it's just because Gabriel's standing right there."Reject me before you go." His eyes widen in shock."You want... Me to reject you?" I nod."It'll help you move on. If we don't reject each other, you'll be stuck on me forever." He frowns, looking down."Do it." Gabriel orders using his Alpha voice, moving behind me to wrap his arms around my waist. Gar
A couple weeks later...Gabriel:Zipping up my bag, I let out a sigh. I’m finally done packing my stuff for tomorrow. There’s another upcoming rogue attack in one of our ally packs, and I volunteered to go help them fight.The pack is pretty far from ours. It’ll take about two weeks to get there, and who knows how long to defeat those rogues, plus another two weeks to get back. Grayson, as you probably expected, is not happy about this.She’s been crying all night, begging me not to go, no matter how much I tried to comfort her. She even threw up this morning, from all the sorrow she’s been feeling. Seeing her this sad truly pains me, but I can’t stay. I’m an Alpha, I’m supposed to fight along other pack members, not just hide away."I’ll be extra careful this time, alright? You have nothing to worry about." I console her, stroking her hair while she hugs me tightly, crying into my chest."Please don’t go. Please?" She lifts her face up, looking at me with those mesmerizing green eyes
