The Alpha's Girl Series Twenty-Seven: Say Please
I sat on the opposite side of the desk, much to Gabriel's disappointment, staring at him as he continued to work. He moved much faster without me in his lap. His shirt was large on me, like a giant's. I pulled it over my knees as I placed my head on them, watching Gabriel in his element as he filed paperwork, responded to emails, and took or made calls to deal with other packs and suppliers. It seemed like a lot was put on his shoulders as the Alpha, but when I offered to help, he declined and told me to relax. I knew once I turned and was officially Luna, I would assume some of these responsibilities, but I didn't mind. It wasn't fair for it to be all on one person anyway. A knock on the door broke me from my train of thought as I sat there admiring my mate. I couldn't look at the desk without picturing what we had just done, so I focused on him instead. There was no talking, but I assumed Gabriel had contacted the visitor telepathically as his eyes seemed t
The Alpha's Girl Series Twenty-Eight: You Did This
My parents tried to fish information out of me at dinner that night. It was the first time I had a friend, let alone a boyfriend. Most of the time, when Elena would go out with Stacy or any of her other friends, she had me tag along because she didn't want me to feel left out. While it was thoughtful of her, it was even more uncomfortable hanging out with people that didn't particularly care for me. Now that I had a life of my own, I don't think my parents knew what to do. My mom asked me how it went with Gabriel, and I tried to keep it to one-word answers. "How was lunch with Gabriel?" – "Good." "Did you guys go anywhere nice?" – "Yes." "How was the rest of your day?" – "Fun." Over the years, I had learned to keep things to myself. The less I gave them, the less they had to work with to convince themselves that I was crazy. My mom shot my dad an irritated look of 'say something' when she realized that I wasn't going to give anything away. Unfortunately for her, his eyes seemed t
The Alpha's Girl Series Twenty-Nine: Declarations
Within seconds of me waking up from the nightmare that would haunt me for the rest of my life, my window slid open. I stifled a scream as the familiar, broad shoulders maneuvered through the narrow frame. He wasted no time in making his way to me. There were no words shared between us as Gabriel crawled under the comforter and pulled me against his chest. My mind was still racing, flooded with panic, horror, and the nagging feeling that I needed to throw up from the image of my father dead. There was a nagging pull in the back of my mind. The pinprick was easily discovered to be worry as I honed in on it. It was him. It was Gabriel. Though I was in his arms, being able to feel his emotions inside me had a calming effect that I wasn't prepared for. I pushed aside the awful things I was feeling and zeroed in on the man beside me. On the worry, love, and determination that were leaking into my mind from his. It was enough to ground me, and my body slowly stopped shaking. My tears dried
The Alpha's Girl Series Thirty: The 'Dirty'
Gabriel had snuck out before I woke up the next morning, leaving me nothing more than a text to inform me that he doubled my security and that I had nothing to worry about. Oh, and that he loved me. I would never grow tired of hearing or reading those words from him. What he didn't understand was that my concern wasn't for myself. It was for my family. It was for him. It was for his people. It felt like a bad omen. As if there was something about to happen that I needed to prepare for. I just didn't know what it was. Elena was sitting on the couch when I stumbled down the stairs in a groggy haze. While I slept, it was not a quality slumber. Throughout the night, or rather, early morning, I continuously woke up with the need to reassure myself that Gabriel was still there. He was like my comfort blanket. A very big and heavy comfort blanket. Whether it was his way of cuddling or if he just preferred to lay on his stomach and my small bed didn't leave him enough room, I found myself s
The Alpha's Girl Series Thirty-One: Meet the Parents
Gabriel snuck into my room every night that week. I didn't want my parents to freak out about me spending the night somewhere else after the hickey fiasco, and Gabriel was more than willing to come to me.It did make me feel guilty, knowing that there were extra wolves outside in the elements to guard me and my house. If I stayed with him, they would be home with their families, and the only people out would be the normal patrol for the pack land.On Friday, he left me a sweet message that he wanted to take me on a date that night. He knew I was nervous about meeting his parents on Saturday in addition to meeting the rest of the pack, and I appreciated that he wanted to do something to take my mind away from the terrifying day to follow.I hadn't had any more nightmares. It seemed the solution to my problem was the large six foot five giant lightly snoring on top of me each night. I knew that I would have to get over my fears quickly. How could I be a Luna to al
The Alpha's Girl Series Thirty-Two: Date Night
We pulled up at a five-star restaurant in the center of town, and I was relieved that I had slipped into a nice dress for our date. It was not the kind of place that you could wear jeans to. Gabriel bent his arm toward me, and I looped my hand through the crook of his elbow. I loved the way his other hand moved over to lay on top of mine. It was a timeless move. The doors were opened by a Valet as we entered. I was immediately taken aback by the beautiful chandelier hanging in the front foyer. The hostess seated us immediately, without asking for Gabriel's name or reservation. Just a simple, "Welcome Back, Sir. Ma'am, right this way." If the place were empty and they were trying to fill seats, I wouldn't have resorted to wondering if Gabriel had taken other women here in the past. Since he was recognized, I had to wonder, even though he told me he had always been faithful. The low lighting, red velvet upholstery, and dark wooden tables made it feel li
The Alpha's Girl Series Thirty-Three: Stalkers
I woke up with a smile on my face and let out a satisfied groan as I stretched out as far as my body would go. After the night we had, there was no way to wipe the shit-eating grin off of my face. Meeting the parents be damned! I was going to keep this man no matter what anyone thought of me. The entire night had been full of light-hearted flirting and small talk. All of the big conversations would have to wait until we were back on pack land so no one would overhear us. When we had to pull our hands apart to eat, his foot slid forward until it was pressed against the side of mine. When I stood up to use the restroom, he stood up as well and was there to pull out and push my chair back in upon my return. There wasn't a single moment that I wasn't on the verge of swooning from how gentlemanly or considerate he was. It had been a romantic dinner, followed by the sharing of an overly sweet dessert. Gabriel hated it, cringing when he took a bite, but when he saw
The Alpha's Girl Series Thirty-Four: More Than Friends
Mrs. Miller, or Maggie as she asked me to call her, excitedly babbled on while Mr. Miller examined me with an unreadable stare. I had hoped he would be as welcoming as his wife, but it seemed I had my worries backward. Mrs. Miller wasn't the one I needed to worry about disapproving of me. It was the man sitting across from me with a carefully masked expression. If it weren't for the slight twitch in his cheek whenever I answered a question, I wouldn't have been aware of his dislike of me. The happy man from earlier seemed to have disappeared the second his eyes pulled away from the bubbly woman he was mated to. I held his gaze, waiting to see if he would say something or if he was just going to continue to stare me down. There was no doubt that I looked crazy. About thirty seconds in, I decided I wouldn't just be holding his glare. If I was going to maintain eye contact with him, it would be a challenge to see who would blink first. I didn't say anything, but
