The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 13 - Finding love ...
GabriellaGabriella glared at her so-called friends, who were all looking awfully amused! Thinking to herself yet again with friends like these, who needed enemies! Zion, Venus, and Melody quickly and not discreetly excused themselves from the office, leaving Gabriella alone with Lucienne and Gabriella felt her heart pounding in her chest. She pretended to study the paperwork in front of her so she wouldn’t have to deal with him right now.“Gabriella, we have to talk about this.” He sighed and she realized it irritated her that he was just standing around like that looming over her.“About what exactly?” She sighed, indicating that he should take a seat. Her wolf was howling inside her mind and it was driving her crazy! She couldn’t think straight and then she didn’t even think of his intoxicating scent! It wafted into her nose and she had to clear her throat to force herself to focus.“About us.” He looked amused and Gabriella rolled her eyes.“There is no us.” She returned her atten
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 14 - True enemies revealed.
GabriellaLucienne could understand Gabriella’s fury but he wanted to find out who helped her uncle. Who in their midst was a traitor to the pack? He knew Gabriella’s uncle and aunt wouldn’t face her head-on. They were too cowardly for that and out there in the unclaimed territory, there was a huge possibility that they would run into rogues and be killed in any case. That was if they didn’t make friends with the rogues, which was another problem Lucienne had to discuss with Gabriella. To be safe, they had to up their border security. Just in case, her uncle and aunt had already made friends with someone outside of their territory that could help them. Lucienne had a feeling that they hadn’t seen the last of those two, so why chase after them when you could wait and prepare and force them to come to you?Gabriella, on the other hand, was furious that Lucienne thought he could order her around! No male was going to tell her what to do! Especially not the one that was meant to love and
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 15 - What am I doing?
GabriellaGabriella couldn’t get the images of Lucienne’s naked chest out of her mind, no matter how hard she tried! He had to draw her attention twice during the meeting with the elders as they decided what to do about her uncle and aunt. The general consensus was that they were probably already dead, but Gabriella couldn’t help but feel as if they weren’t. If her uncle was able to get away with the horrific things he had done until now, he would surely have a plan for any possible situation.After their meeting, they checked in with Zion and the warrior training, and Gabriella was impressed with how much they had accomplished in a very short time. It seemed as though the warriors weren’t as rusty as she originally thought, and she felt a little more at ease. If her uncle could convince someone … Anyone that he had been wronged, he could return. They had the proof they needed if he did, but something told Gabriella that when her uncle returned, and she was sure he was going to, it wo
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 16 - The past.
GabriellaThinking about her uncle made her think back to the day her parents were killed.Flashback“Gabriella Nightshade, report to the principal’s office. Gabriella Nightshade, report to the principal’s office immediately!” The gruff female voice shouted out over the intercom.“What the hell did I do this time?” Gabriella thought to herself as her heart started racing. Her dad said one more demerit or call from the principal, and her phone was a goner, forever. That would ruin her life! How was she supposed to keep up her social media presence without her phone? She couldn’t think of anything that she had done that merited her having to see the principal. Her hands were sweating. She has been good lately. She walked quickly to get the suspense over and done with. Ms. Wetherby looked sympathetic, which was very weird. She usually looked as if she enjoyed it when they had to see the principal.She must be in serious trouble. Oh, crap! Was she going to be suspended? Her dad was going
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 17 - Table for two
GabriellaGabriella hated to admit it, but there was more between her and Lucienne than just the mating bond pulling them together. He was the one who told her the truth about what her uncle was doing, but then he also spied on her while she was in the city. She rolled her eyes at her own thoughts and nearly jumped when Zion cleared her throat.“Are we boring you?” Zion looked amused and Gabriella rolled her eyes again before shaking her head. Taking a sip of coffee, she stopped herself from saying what she was thinking. Zion gave her the progress report on how the warriors were doing and Gabriella thanked her before going back to her office. She still had to sort out the books in the pack and she already had a splitting headache. Sitting behind her desk, she looked up just as Lucienne knocked on the door.“I know you don’t want to talk, but we have to, Gabriella.” He sighed and she nodded. If she could just get one part of her messy life back on track, it would be nice. She couldn’t
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 18 - Lupe, Ajax and ... Magnus
GabriellaIn the unclaimed territories, Magnus, leader of the rogues, was trying to figure out how to get rid of his new guests in a way that would benefit him. With that new alpha girl running the pack, it had become clear he wasn’t just going to walk in and take it all. His scouts and spies had informed him that they had strengthened their border defences and that the little girl had forced the wolves back into training! They were at their weakest right before she came back! He walked downstairs to the dungeons where his two guests were whimpering in the corner of one of the cells and he sighed.“Pick them up! I can’t talk to them when they look like that.” He ordered one of his guards, and four rushed over to help Gabriella’s uncle and aunt stand up. Magnus started to pace back and forth while rubbing his chin. “You have really made things difficult for me, you know?” He stopped and looked at them as a smile started to form in the corners of his mouth. “But I have a plan on how you
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 19 - Accepting the inevitable.
Gabriella“So, I know you aren’t going to tell me the truth, but I’m going to ask in any case.” Gabriella didn’t even know why she was wasting her time as she sat down and looked at her aunt and uncle on the other side of the cell bars. They really looked bad! And smelled even worse! “Why did you run?” She frowned. Her uncle scoffed, mumbling that she knew very well why they ran. Gabriella asked them who helped them but they weren’t even looking at her. Her uncle knew that if they jumped into begging for mercy, Gabriella would know that something was wrong and they had to play their cards perfectly if they were going to get out of this alive. After asking a couple of questions, Gabriella seemed to give up and left and they were left alone in the dark cellar cells again.“They aren’t going to talk.” Lucienne frowned as they walked into Gabriella’s office and she sighed, saying she could have told him that even before she spoke to them. They sat down and discussed how involved they thou
The Alpha's Heart - The Nightshade Pack Chronicles (Book 1) Chapter 20 - Fighting as one.
GabriellaThe girls wouldn’t stop teasing Gabriella about Lucienne, but for once in her life, she didn’t mind at all. It distracted her from everything her uncle had done and the fact that he might still challenge her for alpha. She couldn’t believe that he had actually thought he could get away with everything. What was he thinking? Not that she had ever shown much interest in running the pack, but honestly! Did he really think she would never find out? Then there was the fact that nobody in the pack did much about it. It was as if they had all resigned themselves to their fate. The pack she remembered from her childhood were warriors. They would never just have accepted this kind of treatment. No, there had to be more behind all of this.The last thing that bugged her was that Lucienne had been spying on her for goddess knows how long! He was right there! Surely, he could have told her what was going on. She couldn’t imagine Lucienne not knowing what was going on at home. Didn’t he
