CHAPTER 21: KEEPING MY WORD~ Gabriel’s POV ~She didn’t even pull back when I closed the distance between us leaning in licking her bottom lip, teasing it with my tongue. I captured it between my teeth, softly biting and sucking. She let out a soft moan telling me that she was enjoying what I was doing. I reluctantly broke away from her. “Did you like that?” I asked her with a grin. My voice was breathy. She nodded at me and leaned in again, seeming eager for more. I stood from the table. I grabbed her hands and pulled her up to me. Then I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her into my chest. She slid her arms around my neck. I dipped my head down and hungrily took her mouth in mine giving her a proper kiss this time. She moaned lowly into my mouth and began to follow my lead. Her hands began to trail down my shoulders and around my back. I was trying to stay gentle and romantic but my desire for her took over. My hands seemed to have a mind of their own. My fingers found

CHAPTER 23: WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?~ Harper’s POV~ Waking up the next morning, the first thing that crossed my mind was the way Gabriel kissed me. I had only ever kissed one guy before last night, but it was nothing like the kiss Gabriel and I shared. He kissed me like he didn’t care if anyone saw. The thought of the way the desire was building between us last night made me shiver. I wanted him to claim me so badly. I don’t even want to think about being with someone who is not him. Things shifted in my mind the moment he admitted his feelings to me. I got undressed and took a quick shower. I brushed my teeth and dried my hair. Again, I pulled it up into a messy bun on the top of my head. I had training again this morning. I decided to apply some makeup. I know, it’s ridiculous to wear makeup during a workout and training but I wanted to look good for Gabe. I tried to keep it natural looking, but I added extra mascara making my already long lashes look even longer. I had walked over

CHAPTER 25: WHO EXACTLY IS THIS GIRL?~ Harpers POV~Something told me this wasn’t going to be a clean fight as Tanner was telling us the rules. A crowd had gathered around the ring. I heard pack members whispering. They all thought that I was going to lose to Samantha. I don’t know her skill set yet. She may be very good. But there’s only one way to find out. The thing is no one here has ever seen me fight before. And if there was anything that I was confident about, it was my skills in combat. My father and mother were the top of their class and highly ranked warriors. I bounced on my feet trying to loosen up before the match began. Samantha looked at me like she was ready to tear my heart out. I gave her a sweet smile back. Hopefully she realized that I was being condescending. Once Tanner was done explaining the rules. Samantha and I both took a defensive stance. We circled each other around the ring. I’m not going to be the first one to attack. I feel like it’s always best to le

CHAPTER 27: A GNAT IN THE EYE~ Gabriel’s POV ~Tanner threw himself back in his chair, as our meeting was coming to an end his mood was lightning back up.“So, Gabe, are you going to explain to us the deal between you and Harper? Or should we keep walking around like we have no idea that you two have a thing…” Tanner said to me with one eyebrow raised. I laughed at him. The thought of Harper and I having a “thing” lightened my mood.“Ok, since she and I were able to clarify things yesterday, I guess I can fill you two in.” Tanner grinned from ear to ear. More than ready to hear what I was about to say. I shook my head at him and rolled my eyes. “Since the moment I first met Harper, I have been completely wrapped up in her.” Tanner looked at me confused.“That doesn’t make a bit of sense, Gabe. I am going to need you to be more specific with what you are trying to say.” Tanner said with a look that would remind you of a doctor that was trying to diagnose you with a serious illness.

CHAPTER 29: YOU’RE ON MY BED, BABY~ Gabriel’s POV ~Once I reached Harper’s door, I started to feel a little nervous. I’m not sure why though. Taking a deep breath, I knocked. Harper opened the door.“Oh… come to tell me what I can and can’t do again alpha.” She said, never breaking eye contact with me. “No Harper, can I come in so I can explain.” I asked her. She stepped to the side and opened the door for me to walk in. I shut the door behind me but when I turned around, I noticed that Harper was wearing only a towel, and her hair was damp. She must have just gotten out of the shower. I swallowed deep. I was frozen with my eyes locked on her. My heartrate got faster as I thought about there being nothing but her under that towel. Harper blushed; her hands were clasped together as she sat on the edge of her bed.“I’m sorry I don’t have a robe. I was just looking through my things trying to find something to wear tonight.” She said to me while looking down. I walked near her, as I
