Chapter 8 - Big life changes!
Venus
Venus really enjoyed her holiday and it had given her some time to make a couple of serious decisions. She was going to give the island to Rosita and the house on the mainland to Rosita’s parents. It didn’t matter what they did with it after that. Venus had already called her lawyers and the paperwork for their signatures arrived first thing in the morning of her last day with an assurance that her lawyer would be there right before she was about to leave. Exactly as she planned it.
Venus carefully packed her things and just as her pilot took her bags, Rosita informed her that the lawyer was there. She asked Rosita to bring them something to drink onto the patio. She wanted to sit there one last time and just look out at the ocean while they took care of the business side of things. With the enormous amount of money she inherited, she could holiday anywhere in the world at any time, so giving away the two houses wouldn&r

GabriellaLucienne helped Gabriella to get everything in place so that she could go back to the city and pack up her stuff and say goodbye to the girls, while her uncle thought she had left for the city for good. In the meantime, Lucienne was setting up the necessary security around the pack grounds to make sure that they could capture everything he did and so that they could use it as proof when she returned. Her uncle was going to prison for life. She would make sure of it. She was also sure that as soon as people knew that he was locked up, they would hear more stories of what he did to her people.Gabriella was furious beyond belief, but she couldn’t do anything until the day they had the actual proof. In the meantime, she would go back to the city and make peace with the fact that she could no longer live the life she so desperately worked for all these years. The only good thing about going to the city was that Lucienne had to

GabriellaLucienne was waiting for them as the truck pulled up near the border of the territory, and he guided them through to the main house. The moving truck driving in drew a lot of attention and Gabriella knew that the moment they arrived, her uncle would probably guess what was going on. As she slipped out from behind the driver’s seat, she noticed Lucienne walking out from behind the truck dressed only in boxers and her heart skipped a beat. She won the jackpot when it came to beauty and brains with him, and she fought the urge to run into his arms and kiss him.“Hi, girls.” He smiled and Gabriella quickly introduced them just as Zion came running up to her frowning.“Zion, sweetheart, I don’t have time to explain right now. Could you possibly help the girls, please? I will tell you everything as soon as I’ve spoken to the pack.” Zion nodded and showed them into the main house when Gabriella mind linked her that she didn’t want her dear friends to be in harm’s way if things went

GabriellaZion wasn’t shocked when she heard what Gabriella’s uncle did. She even had some hair-raising stories of her own to share and Gabriella rolled her eyes.“Why didn’t anybody do anything?” She sighed, taking a sip of her coffee.“He was your appointed alpha. Well, sort of.” Zion threw her hands in the air. “He simply told us that you knew exactly what was happening here and that you approved it.” Gabriella looked at Lucienne who was standing there scratching the back of his head.“And you? Why didn’t you do something?” A soft growl escaped from her as she glared at him. He looked at Zion for a moment and then back at her.“I wasn’t here. I didn’t know that any of this was going on.” His cheeks turned red when Gabriella asked him where the hell he was. He sighed and pulled his fingers through his hair as if trying to figure out how to tell her something really difficult. “Look, you have to understand. We were all under the impression that you had given him these orders, so we j

GabriellaGabriella finally went to sleep and when she woke up in the morning she could smell the incredible scent of Melody’s bacon pancakes! She breathed a sigh of relief as she came bounding down the stairs and realized Lucienne wasn’t there. Zion and Venus were ogling the food as Melody popped one dish after another out of the oven. They set the table and grabbed some food. Zion and Gabriella, of course, looked like little piglets with the amount of food on their plates, but that was Melody’s famous bacon pancakes! Who could resist?!“So, what happened last night?” Zion had never been one to keep quiet about uncomfortable things. It was as if she had this insatiable need to pick at the wounds that hurt the most. Gabriella stuffed her mouth full of the delicious food so she had a proper explanation for not answering Zion’s very intrusive question. “Okay,” Zion grinned.“Spill!” Venus said in a strange-sounding voice as her eyes suddenly turned a strange blue and Gabriella rolled he
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
