The Lycan's Mate 33. Shattered Expectations II
[Rachel's POV]As I finished my evening sprint around the large compound, my mind was still filled with a whirlwind of emotions. Gabriel's call earlier had left me feeling lost and confused. I couldn't fully comprehend the situation among his pack, and I desperately needed his explanations. Trying to push aside troubling thoughts, I focused on my exercise, something common among pack members but not usually done in the evening like I was doing. I was determined to distract myself from the turmoil in my heart.As I jumped over one of the roadblocks that were set up for pack members' races, my ankle landed awkwardly, causing a sharp pain. I whispered to myself, "Not again," knowing that I had dislocated it. Sarah, my friend and confidant, ran up to me with concern evident in her eyes. She had been recording my jumps over the roadblocks, and now she was more worried about my well-being. I tried to stand up and walk normally, pretending that I was okay, but it was clear I needed help.We
The Lycan's Mate 01. Summer Heartbreak
[Rachel's POV] I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring in my ear. Another day at high school. I dragged myself out of bed and got ready, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves as I thought about seeing him again. The one who had occupied my thoughts for years, my high school crush. His name was Ryan, and I had been infatuated with him since freshman year. He was tall and athletic, with dark hair and piercing blue eyes that could make my heart skip a beat. Ryan was the school's heartthrob, captain of the football team, and every girl's dream. But, despite all the attention he received, he was humble and kind. Our relationship started as nothing more than a schoolgirl crush. We would exchange glances in class, sit together at lunch, and share stories about our lives. We even worked on a science project together, spending hours in the school's laboratory, getting to know each other better. Over the years, our puppy love grew stronger, and we became inseparable. We shared our
The Lycan's Mate 02. Gabriel
[Rachel's POV] Graduation day had finally arrived, and I couldn't believe that my high school journey was coming to an end. As I walked towards the school auditorium, I felt a sense of excitement and trepidation. It was the end of one chapter of my life and the beginning of another. As I looked around the auditorium, I couldn't help but notice the smiling faces of my classmates. It was a bittersweet moment, knowing that we would all be going our separate ways, but I was determined to focus on the future and the possibilities that lay ahead. After graduation, I threw myself into my passion for photography. I traveled to different parts of the world, capturing the beauty of nature through my lens. It was an exhilarating experience, and I felt like I was living my dream. However, as time went by, I realized that things were not as easy as I had thought. Photography was a competitive industry, and I found it challenging to get my work noticed. There were times when I felt like giving up
The Lycan's Mate 03. Shadows of Menace
[Gabriel POV] Of course, after the fight with my pack and some stray lycans at the park, we all got text messages that there would be a meeting. I was quite uncomfortable about it because I knew that I had abandoned my pack earlier that day, and it wasn't something that my fellow lycans would keep away from our leader. My mind was racing with thoughts of what they might do to me when I arrived, but I couldn't shake the image of Rachel from my head. As I rode my bike to the meeting place, my nerves were on edge. I knew that I was taking a risk by coming here, but I couldn't stay away. When I arrived at the woods, I saw that there were already a few lycans gathered around the clearing. They all looked up as I approached, and I could see the disapproval in their eyes. The woods were a beautiful and peaceful place, but they held a lot of history for our kind. This was where our ancestors had gathered for generations, but it wasn't always like this. There used to be a cave where we would
The Lycan's Mate 04. Cozy Coffee Shop
RACHEL'S POV: After our pack meeting had come to an end, I couldn't stop thinking about Gabriel. He was different from the rest of the male humans I've met, and I just wanted to know more about him. I had tried to reach out to him before our meeting commenced, but he never answered my calls or texts. I was bored that evening and just needed someone to talk to. I decided to give it one more try and dialed his number. Just like before, he didn't pick up, which only made me more determined to get through to him. I called again and again until he finally answered. GABRIEL POV: I looked at my phone and saw that the Rachel was calling me. I knew I had avoid her and couldn't bear the risk of involving her in my pack's rivalry but she kept calling repeatedly, and I couldn't take it anymore. I tried to switch off my phone, but I picked up the call by accident. I was so nervous, keeping mute for about 30 seconds. "Hello?" I said, trying to sound distant. "Hey, it's me," she replied, her vo
The Lycan's Mate 05. Moonlit Revelations
[Rachel's POV] We burst into laughter together, finding the situation quite amusing. Although I had numerous questions swirling in my mind, such as "Why were you avoiding me?" I decided not to spoil the lighthearted moment. It was a welcome relief, the tension caused by his avoidance dissipating like mist in the morning sun. The irony of our situation struck me, as our lives had unknowingly intertwined. "You... you had no clue, did you?" he managed to say amidst his laughter. Chuckling, I replied, "None whatsoever! I simply assumed you were a coffee enthusiast and had a talent for avoiding me." Gabriel shook his head and apologized, "I'm sorry for not revealing my true identity earlier. I wanted to see if you would figure it out on your own." "Well, I did recognize your voice," I responded, "but today hasn't exactly been the friendliest day." We both shared a smile, yet my curiosity about his persistent avoidance of my calls grew stronger. "Anyway," I continued, "why have you bee
The Lycan's Mate 06. Tainted Loyalties
[Gabriel's POV] I stepped outside, fatigue momentarily forgotten as a cold wind brushed against my face. My eyes landed on the man who had previously threatened me, standing a few paces away, his intense gaze fixed on me. "What do you want?" I asked, my voice weary yet defiant. He grinned sinisterly, his eyes filled with malice and anticipation. "I have a task for you, Gabriel," he sneered, his voice dripping with menace. My heart sank. I knew this wouldn't be a simple errand. I prepared myself for the revelation of the dirty work that awaited me. "I need you to eliminate a threat," he said, his words carrying a heavy weight on my shoulders. Confusion furrowed my brow as I tried to comprehend the magnitude of the task. "Who is the threat?" I cautiously inquired, already fearing the answer. His gaze bore into mine, his voice low and chilling. "His name is Marcus. He's a rogue werewolf, a danger to our pack. He holds secrets that could unravel everything we've worked for." My hea
The Lycan's Mate 07. Harmony Haven
[Rachel's POV] I was thrilled as my dear friend Sarah arrived at my family's fancy mansion. We hugged and laughed as we entered, finding comfort in familiar surroundings. The grand ceilings, fancy chandeliers, and elegant decor spoke of luxury and richness. It was surprising to see her so early in the morning, and I couldn't help but wonder why she had come. Sarah knew my parents well since she was part of our group, so she quickly asked to meet them. I happily took her to them, and they warmly greeted her. My mom embraced her before leaving us alone. Sarah was always my closest friend, but she didn't visit the mansion often, so it felt special to have her here. Over cups of hot tea, we caught up on each other's lives. Sarah shared stories of her recent travels, and as we talked, her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Rachel, you won't believe what I found out," Sarah said, her voice full of curiosity. "There's a secret network of werewolf communities." Intrigued, I leaned in. "Werew
