Ralph POVI slowly opened my eyes, feeling groggy and disoriented. My head was pounding and my body ached, but I couldn't remember why. I closed my eyes again, trying to shake the fog from my mind. Suddenly, a dream flooded back to me. I was losing Lovette, my love. She was slipping away from me, no matter how hard I tried to hold on. I shouted her name, my heart racing with fear and panic.But when I opened my eyes again, I realized that it was just a dream. As I lay on the bed, the thought of losing her fills me with a sense of dread and I can't shake it off even though I know it was just a dream. I slowly opened the door to my room and stepped out into the hallway. My body was still weak from my injury, but I could feel it slowly returning to its normal state. I had been in that room for what felt like an eternity, and I was eager to see what the others were up to.I slowly made my way down the stairs. As I reached the bottom I could hear laughter and conversations coming from the

Gabriel’s POVI sat at the desk in my room, picking at the food Lovette had brought me. The food tasted bland in my mouth. I couldn’t help but feel aroused as I remembered how she had felt in my arms earlier. I wanted more of her, but she had pushed me away. I must admit that it hurt a little. I had always been drawn to her since we exchanged phones, but I never acted on it. I didn’t want to force her into anything, but I was tired of waiting.As I ate, fork in hand, I couldn’t shake off the fantasy of her. The way her long hair cascaded over her shoulders and the way her legs looked in her tight jeans. I couldn’t help but imagine them spreading open before me, inviting me in.But then, reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I remembered the deal she had made with me and how it involved seeing Ralph every damn day until we did something about the creature.I had noticed Ralph liked her so much the day I taunted him on purpose at the pack house. I suspected they were close the day I saw

Ralph POVLovette stormed out of the living room, tears streaming down her face. I knew she was going to her room to cry, and I couldn't help but blame Gabriel for this whole situation. If he hadn't been so dead set on rebuking her, I never would have gotten angry and ended up in a face-down with him. The guilt weighed heavily on me as I thought about how I had put her in this position.“All thanks to you, you have succeeded in making someone cry” I accused him"Me? Maybe if you hadn’t jumped in from nowhere demanding for her to be treated right!" Gabriel retorted, his voice rising in volume."I didn't jump in from nowhere," I shot back, my own anger rising. “I had been listening to you yelling at her about making mistakes. What did you expect me to do? Sit back and let you reprimand her?”“I was just trying to help. Next time observe before you jump into conclusions” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I glared at Gabriel, fuming with anger. Just as we were about to come to blo

Lovette POVRalph was in trouble, and I wanted to do everything I could to defend him, but the Alpha was a strict and imposing figure, and I could see the disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Ralph.“Please can you revoke the punishment you gave to Ralph, I can assure you he won’t disobey you any longer. Just this once, please, Alpha,” I begged Alpha Derek.“Look, I understand that you have been spending a lot of time with Ralph lately,” the Alpha said, his voice stern. “But I must remind you that he is a member of this pack, and as such, he is subject to the rules and regulations that we have in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all our members.”“I agree that Ralph needs to be held accountable for his actions. But I also believe that he deserves a second chance.”The Alpha considered my words for a moment. “I appreciate your defense of Ralph, but I’m afraid that my decision is final.”I nodded, my mind racing as I tried to think of a way to defend Ralph without maki

Gabriel POVThe journey to the city had been quite long and I was feeling the effects of it. My body ached and my eyes were heavy with fatigue. I was grateful when we finally arrived at the hotel, and I could finally rest.Neo and I checked in and made our way to our assigned room. As we entered, Neo immediately plopped down on one of the beds and let out a sigh of relief. "Wow, that was quite a journey," he said.I nodded in agreement as I made my way to the other bed. "I couldn't agree more," I said, as I collapsed onto the soft mattress. "I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life."Neo chuckled. "Yeah, the ride was pretty bumpy. But we're here now, and that's all that matters."I closed my eyes and let out a deep sigh. The room was quiet and peaceful, and I could feel my body starting to relax. I was just about to drift off to sleep when I saw that Neo was bustling around the room, trying to decide what to bring back for his crush Nyx. He was muttering to himself, going thro
