The Chosen Chapter Twenty Four
Days had passed since my father's death. With each day, I found the anger building and the want for revenge seeped deeper into my veins. I found myself lashing out at the servants, and the lack of having Gabriel around only seemed to heighten my anger.I missed him and yearned to be near him, to touch him, but as quick as the thoughts broke in my mind, anger took over its place almost instantly.Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows in Gabriel's room, I watched the sun break over the horizon. Its soft pinks and yellows almost thawed out my frozen veins, as a rare small smile graced my lips. Opening the window, the soft breeze gently brushed against the silk of the silver dress I was wearing.I had found it on the bed this morning, a small note in its place. The dress was picked by Gabriel. Why he couldn't give it to me in person, had my veins filling with anger once more. Shaking the thoughts from my mind, I decided to leave the room for the first time since my fathe
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Five
Staring at Gabriel with wide, panicked eyes, I watched as his eyes continued to shift from his dark brown eyes to the silver that always had my heart racing. His nostrils flared with each deep breath he took, only adding to my excitement. Every small intake of air that passed through my lips had his ears twitching as if he was waiting for me to say something.Licking my lips, I turned to Mrs Knoll. "I don't understand." My voice was soft, almost like a whisper, but I knew everyone in the field would've been able to hear it."If I had to take a guess, it would be because your chosen is an Alpha." She said. Gently placing her hand on my lower back, Mrs Knoll directed me to the shade of the trees. Although her words were calming, I still couldn't help but feel something wasn't adding up. Why was my scent suddenly changing if I had been with Gabriel for a little while? Something just wasn't adding up to me.Surely there had to be something else that was going on. Turning my head slightly,
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Six
I stared at Matt as pain pulsed through my shoulder. I didn't understand what was happening. Gritting my teeth, I tightened my hand around the arrow in my shoulder. "I told you I would kill you if I saw you again." Came Matthew's reply.Groaning in pain, I turned to the woman in the room. The longer I gazed at her, the more familiar she became. Panting through the pain, I groaned once more. "Who are you?"A small pout graced her lips. Taking a small step closer towards me, I watched as a small smile replaced the frown on her face. "I thought you would at least recognise your mother, Annabelle."Frowning, I shook my head. There was no way this woman was my mother. My mother abandoned my father and me. She left us with nothing. "I don't have a mother... no mother would abandon her child for her greed."A flash of hurt crossed her face before it hardened with a scowl. "You know nothing.""I know enough to know you are no mother to me." I snapped.Nodding, she smirked. "Very well."Before
The Chosen Chapter Twenty seven
The sounds of snarls and growls filled the forest, with smaller animals scurrying out of our way and into safety. My heart pounded in my chest as I chased after Sharlee in her wolf form. The sound of my paws hitting the ground along with my panting filled my ears, as my senses began to pick up on things I had never heard before. I could hear rabbits running as we neared, along with birds chirping in the trees off in the distance as faint growling behind me seemed to get closer and closer.The more I focused on the sounds around me, the more my head began to hurt. It was as if someone had taken fathers hammer and repeatedly pounded on the side of my head. Shaking my head, a small growl fell from my lips before I pushed my legs to run faster. Dodging and jumping over trees, we found ourselves back at the lake.Turning to me, Sharlee changed back into her human form. Holding her hands up high, she sighed. "You need to listen to me!" she said with panicked eyes. It was almost as if she wa
The Chosen Chapter Twenty Eight
Staring at Gabriel with wide eyes, I watched as his face became red. His eyes flashed from bright silver back to their dull ones, with each deep breath he took. With each rise and fall of his chest, I feared his beast would take control.Swallowing the lump in my throat, I took a careful step towards my chosen. Reaching out a shaky hand, I flinched as a deep growl slipped from Gabriel's throat, and his eyes snapped to my hand. As if realising what he had done, Gabriel sighed before pulling me into his arms. Resting my ear against his chest, I felt my heart falter as his bet widely."I won't let them take you, Anna." Kissing the top of my head, a small growl fell from his lips.Gripping the side of his waist, scenarios of what could happen to the people I knew sent shivers down my spine. "I can't have our people dying because of me," I whispered.Pulling back just enough so his eyes connected with mine, I watched as they swirled with different hues of grey. I knew he was angry by the w
The Chosen Twenty Nine
Watching as people began to leave the room, I felt my lungs start to burn. Releasing the breath I hadn't realised I had been holding, I felt my lungs yearn for air. Taking a deep breath, I leaned over the chair in front of me. Beside me Gabriel's sudden growl echoed off the wooden walls, sending chills down my spine."I don't care if he is my father and former Alpha, he needs to respect me and my chosen." He whispered, to no one in particular. I agreed. Although his father was someone powerful, I couldn't help but feel that since I had arrived there was more growing tension between the two alphas. It was as if Gabriel's father was still trying to stay in power, yet seemed to be failing.Standing from my bent position, I turned to Gabriel with a small frown. "Your father is waiting for you... you should go." I whispered.Snapping his gaze to me, Gabriel stared at me for what felt like minutes. I watched as the pink flesh of his tongue came to swipe across his bottom lip, something I no

Turning to Sharlee with a small smile, I pulled her into a tight hug. After sitting on the floor with her and hearing about Ailee, I wanted nothing more than to find Gabriel. He needed to know what his sister was doing. He already had a suspicion about her and now more than ever I needed Gabriel. I needed to know what was going on with his family and where I fit into things.Moving away from Sharlee, I watched her eyes flicker from my face to the door behind me. Bowing her head, Sharlee spoke. "Mrs Knoll."Quickly turning around, I spotted Mrs Knoll standing at the door with a small smile. She looked tired as if she had the weight of the world on her shoulder. Stepping away from Sharlee, I made my way towards Mrs Knoll. Resting her hand on my lower back, she rubbed small circles there."It's best we leave now." Her voice was soft, warmth dripping from her words. Nodding, I followed her out the door. Before the door was able to close in my face, I quickly turned to smile at Sharlee. I
The Chosen Thirty One
Staring at Gabriel with half-lidded eyes, I couldn't help the little sparks that drifted down my back. It felt like someone had a flaming torch running along my back, causing the beautiful feeling to tingle in its place. Every little spark that flowed along my skin had my breath increasing, and desire forming in the pit of my stomach. His eyes were burning their bright colour of silver, as his nose flared with every sharp, ragged intake of air he took. This man was indeed otherworldly. Moving my gaze to his lips, I noticed something sharp poking between the plump pink flesh.Carefully reaching up a hand, I found myself gently tracing the hard object. A small growl fell from Gabriel's lips at the contact, his eyes closing at the pressure my finger gave. Biting my bottom lip, I pulled away. "Is that your... canine teeth?"Nodding, Gabriel's eyes slowly opened. As he gazed down at me, I watched his eyes flash brightly. "We need to stop before I mark you as my own." His voice was deep, al
