Lovette POVNow everything had been discussed between Ralph, Celeste and I and now we just had to present the matter to Gabriel and for some reason I already knew what his answer would be,"No, this is completely reckless, I will not allow it." He quickly dismissed our plan and my shoulders slumped, Celeste rolled her eyes and approached him with all sultriness in the world,"But Gabriel, this is our only chance to catch this thing. If we do not then it would keep attacking Lovette and we might not be there to defend her all the time." She states a good reason as she rubbed his head but he growled at her and she cheekily took her hand off his head, "do not be upset, but this is the only way to put an end to this problem once and for all.""And why does she need to be the bait? Why don't we use Ralph?" He pointed at my boyfriend and I couldn't stop the snicker that escaped my lips,"Excuse me?" Ralph cocked his brow at Gabriel, he was irritated by his statement, "and why don't we use y
Lovette POVRalph was in trouble, and I wanted to do everything I could to defend him, but the Alpha was a strict and imposing figure, and I could see the disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Ralph.“Please can you revoke the punishment you gave to Ralph, I can assure you he won’t disobey you any longer. Just this once, please, Alpha,” I begged Alpha Derek.“Look, I understand that you have been spending a lot of time with Ralph lately,” the Alpha said, his voice stern. “But I must remind you that he is a member of this pack, and as such, he is subject to the rules and regulations that we have in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all our members.”“I agree that Ralph needs to be held accountable for his actions. But I also believe that he deserves a second chance.”The Alpha considered my words for a moment. “I appreciate your defense of Ralph, but I’m afraid that my decision is final.”I nodded, my mind racing as I tried to think of a way to defend Ralph without maki
Gabriel POVI sat on the couch, staring blankly at the TV screen. I had been trying to distract myself by watching my favorite show, but I couldn’t focus. My mind kept wandering back to the empty space next to me. I couldn't help but feel deflated that Lovette had left so early. I tried to shake off the feeling and focus on the movie, but it was no use. I couldn't deny the fact that I was missing her. I didn't want to let it hinder me from doing the normal things I did, but it was hard to ignore the emptiness I felt without her.As I sat there, lost in my thoughts, the door opened and Neo walked in. Neo could see right away that something was off. "Hey man, what's up?" he asked. "You look like someone just kicked your puppy."I tried to play it cool. "Nah, I'm fine," I said, forcing a smile. "Just a little tired, that's all."But Neo wasn't fooled. "Come on, I know you better than that," he said. "Something's bothering you. What happened?"“I said I’m fine”Neo gave me a skeptical l
Gabriel POVThe journey to the city had been quite long and I was feeling the effects of it. My body ached and my eyes were heavy with fatigue. I was grateful when we finally arrived at the hotel, and I could finally rest.Neo and I checked in and made our way to our assigned room. As we entered, Neo immediately plopped down on one of the beds and let out a sigh of relief. "Wow, that was quite a journey," he said.I nodded in agreement as I made my way to the other bed. "I couldn't agree more," I said, as I collapsed onto the soft mattress. "I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life."Neo chuckled. "Yeah, the ride was pretty bumpy. But we're here now, and that's all that matters."I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh. The room was quiet and peaceful, and I could feel my body starting to relax. I was just about to drift off to sleep when I saw that Neo was bustling around the room, trying to decide what to bring back for his crush Nyx. He was muttering to himself, going thro
Lovette POV“Your dad isn't coming over any longer, he said to meet up at some resort where we could talk,” my mother said.Left for me, I couldn't care less. I didn't even want to have any form of conversation with him but my mum insisted that I at least try because in the end he was still my Dad.I sat on my bed, staring blankly at the wall as my mother's words sunk in. The thought of meeting up with him at some resort to "talk" filled me with dread."Do I have to go?" I asked, turning to my mother.She sighed and sat down beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder. "I know it's not easy for you, but he's still your father. He wants to try and make things right between the two of you."I gritted my teeth, anger rising in my chest. "He's had plenty of opportunities to do that before now. Why should I believe he's serious this time?"My mother's expression softened. "I know it's hard, but please just give him a chance. It's not just for him, it's for you too. You deserve to have a relat
Gabriel’s POVLovette stood frozen, her eyes wide with shock. She was looking back and forth between her father and me, trying to understand what was happening.I could see the questions running through her mind as she tried to make sense of the situation."Nice to meet you, Lovette," I said, offering her my hand.She hesitated for a moment before shaking it, looking at me like I had suddenly grown two heads."Do you two not know each other?" her father asked, noticing the look on her face."No, we've never met before," I replied.I didn't want her father to know that I've met his daughter. I wasn't sure Lovette was going to like the idea. She once told me about the issues she was facing in her family.“But you mentioned her name to me the day we met” Mr. Smith repliedLovette raised her brows trying to see what I was playing atI cleared my throat unsure of what to say “I heard someone mention her name that's why. Nothing deep” I finally managed to stammer out.“Ohh” he said but he
Lovette’s POVI stood with my eyes wide with shock watching as my mother's hand connected with my father's cheek. My mother's voice was filled with anger as she shouted curses and accusations at my father. My father, taken aback, stumbled back a step, hand flying to his stinging face.I had never seen my mom act like this before, let alone use swear words in front of others. My mom, usually so composed, was now yelling and using every swear word in the book, her face red with anger."You lying bastard!" My mother shouted, her hand still raised. "How could you do this to me? To us?"My father was now rubbing his cheek, looking stunned and hurt. He tried to reason with my mother, but she was having none of it."Please calm down, honey. Let's talk about this in private," he said, trying to take her hand.But my mother pulled away, her voice rising even more. "There's nothing to talk about. You've betrayed me, and I'm done with you."I felt a lump form in my throat as I watched the scene u
Gabriel’s POVWhile she went to remove the dress she put on in the fitting room her phone started to ring.I glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Ralph. Without a second thought, I answered the call, a smirk playing at the corners of my lips."Hello?" I said in a low, silky voice.Ralph was livid on the other end of the line. "What the hell are you doing answering Lovette's phone?" he yelled. "You're still following her around like a lost puppy!"I raised an eyebrow, relishing in the opportunity to taunt Ralph. "Oh, don't be so jealous," I said mockingly. "Lovette can have all the friends she wants. Besides, she's much happier with me around."Ralph let out a frustrated growl. "You don't get it, do you? Lovette doesn't need someone like you hanging around. She's already got enough problems as it is."I chuckled, enjoying the way my words were getting under Ralph's skin. "Oh, I think Lovette can handle herself just fine. Besides, I'm not causing her any problems. In fact, I'm h
