Lovette POV“Why did you come? You should have stayed with Gabriel." Ralph’s words kept echoing in my ears. I waited for him and prayed that he would come back home safe and sound. I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself if something terrible had happened to him. I was elated when I saw he had returned but he didn’t seem too happy to see me. Did he not want to have anything to do with me again?He had slammed the door to his room so loud that it echoed through the house like a clap of thunder. I thought of going to beg him in case he was still mad at me. Connor looked at me pitifully and simply shrugged. I slowly made my way up the stairs, my heart pounding in my chest. I had no idea what I was going to say to him, but I knew I had to try. I couldn't bear the thought of him being mad at me for any longer.As I approached his door, I could hear the muffled sounds of him pacing back and forth inside. I took a deep breath, bracing myself for what was to come.I gently knocked on
Gabriel’s POVI was pissed, pacing back and forth in anger. I had called Lovette but instead of her sweet voice, I was greeted by Ralph's gruff tone. He had warned me to stay away from his girl and told me they were at the fair having the fun of their life.She's her own person and she can make her own decisions. She is not his.It was his audacity for me. Was he trying to get back at me for answering the phone when he tried to call Lovette?I’ve been so angry and frustrated lately, the fight with Neo this week and now he was nowhere to be seen and Lovette spending all her time with that idiot she called a boyfriend.This week had not been the best for me, and I needed to get away from it all.I got into my car and started the engine, feeling a sense of liberation as I started my long drive. The road stretched out before me, and I let the wind blow through my hair.As I drove, I let my mind wander and began to imagine having Lovette all to myself. I pictured our future together, trav
Lovette’s POV"Ralph…what do you think would be the best way to capture these bandits?" I asked my boyfriend and he had the dirtiest grin on his face and it scared me a little.“We just got on the mission and you're actually thinking about the mission." He confused me with his statement, and I shrugged my shoulders"I mean, isn't that what we are supposed to be doing?" We were walking on a trail and we were getting closer to the town, we had just highlighted from a bus and we were with a little luggage, he was carrying of course. Treating me like the princess that I was."That's against the code, when we go on missions, we are allowed to derail before we actually start the mission." He snickered uncontrollably and it transferred to me, now I understood him. We have fun first before we actually start the mission."As long as I'm with you, I'm more than happy with it." I clung to his arm and he smiled at me sheepishly, "why are you giving me that look?" I almost poked his eye"Did anyon
Lovette POVI watched Ralph and Gabriel beat each other senseless. They fought fiercely, their snarls and growls filling the air as their bodies collided in a blur of fur and muscle.They were fighting for me, for my attention"Stop! Please stop!" I cried, but my voice was lost in the chaos.I felt sick to my stomach. This was not what I had wanted.Just then, Alpha Finn strode over, a scowl on his face. He stood in front of me, blocking my view of the fight.“This is all your fault, Lovette," he growled. "These boys, they're acting like reckless fools because of you. They're putting themselves in danger for your sake."My heart sank as I realized that Alpha Finn was blaming me for the recklessness of the boys. I had never intended for anything like this to happen, but now, it was too late.I shook my head, my voice trembling with emotion. "I never asked for this. I never wanted them to hurt themselves."“It is still your fault!" Alpha Finn yelled, his voice booming with rage. "These
Lovette POV“Where are you coming from?” Ralph asked me arching his right eyebrow. I shifted nervously under his gaze.“Just out for a walk," I said, trying to sound casual.He frowned, clearly not buying it. "Really? It's nearly midnight and you're out for a walk?"I thought of a lie to say but none was coming to mind. It was going to be messy if I told him Gabriel and I were together. “ Did you try to look for me?” I thought of avoiding the question by asking him another one.“Answer mine first. Where are you coming from?” “I couldn't sleep," I said, trying to sound casual.He took a step closer to me, his eyes studying my face intently. "Are you sure that's all?"I nodded. “So why can I smell Gabriel’s scent from you? He sniffed me, his nostrils flaring as he took in the scent of Gabriel Shit! That’s because we hugged for a long time.I shifted uneasily “well, Gabriel and I were together this evening, and that’s only because he wanted to apologize for the fight between you two”
Ralph POVIt all happened in slow motion. I was standing in front of Lovette, trying to look for another reason why Connor should have stopped Lovette from going out to see Gabriel. But before I could even finish my sentence, her hand shot out and connected with my cheek. The sound echoed through the room and I could feel the sting spreading across my face. I raised my hands to my cheeks, rubbing them in disbelief. Lovette had never been physical with me before, and I was taken aback by the sudden violence.Time seemed to slow down as I tried to process what had just happened. I couldn't believe that Lovette was capable of slapping me.“I'm sick and tired of this drama! This back and forth” she screamed.“I have my own freedom also and can see whoever I want to see” her voice echoing through the room.“I’m done with you and your controlling behavior. I’m done with your jealousy and your insecurities. I’m just done,” she continued, her eyes welling up with tears.I stood there, staring
Gabriel’s POVAfter the almost kiss experience, I had with Lovette the day I went to drop her at Ralph’s place, my heart kept lingering for her. It was hard for me to sleep at night without thinking of her. I decided to go see her mom at her house and tell her who I was and let her know that I liked her daughter. Maybe there was something she would do about it. And on the other hand, if Lovette also knows that her mom likes me then she would allow me to love her and give me space in her heart.I had an idea. To get gifts for her mother. This way she won’t have any choice but to like me.I walked into the grocery store, feeling determined and a little nervous. I was going to win the heart of Lovette, and I was willing to do whatever it took.I made my way to the grocery aisles, grabbing as many provisions as I could fit in my cart. I picked up a variety of fruits and vegetables, along with some fresh bread and cheese. I also grabbed some fine wine and a few chocolate treats.As I load
Gabriel POVLovette answered on the first ring.“Have you found her?” She asked in a rush“No. But I know where she is and who is involved in the act” I told her.She let out a sigh of frustration “Who is it? Tell me, Gabriel! Let’s go rescue her from the hands of those monsters” “It’s your father’s handwork,” I told her Lovette was silent for a few moments before reacting. "What do you mean it's my father's doing?“It is, he told me himself”“Why would he do such a thing?" she asked, her voice shaking with anger and betrayal.“Well, we have to go to the police and report him!” She shouted.“I don't think that's a good idea. Your father has connections, he'll make sure she stays hidden," I said, trying to keep my voice calm."Then what do we do?" Lovette asked, desperation creeping into her voice.“He said we need to strike a deal with him first” “A deal?" Lovette repeated, her voice shaking. "What kind of deal?"“I get married to you and give him 50% of my business” Lovette was s
