“If the hunter comes back, even you will be in trouble. Don’t make this pain go worthless, be safe Zayla.” That day he’d called me Zayla more than he’d called me Love like he always does. And I hated that. He was slowly losing his consciousness and I was losing my calm. “Gabriel, we’ll make it out of here. Alive. Both of us. Please don’t lose your consciousness. Stay with me.” I helped him get up as I kept his one hand around my shoulder and I kept mine around his waist, helping him to stand on his feet. I started following the direction he’d told me. “Gabriel, please don’t lose consciousness okay? Listen to my voice.” I had to make sure he does not fall asleep. “You know the day I first met you, in your office closet," I was trying to make sure he is interested in listening to me and does not go to sleep because of the pain caused by the poisened silver. "I was blown away by your beauty, I swear. But the very next minute you proved to be an a**. I never knew my mate would be a Ly

Zayla’s p.o.v “He’s still a kid by heart,” Aunt Nancy laughed seeing Gabriel walk out like a stubborn child and I followed her. I liked that he was jealous and that he wasn't even hiding it. “So, come with me,” she grabbed my hand and took me to the backside of the house. The minute I walked out I involuntarily gasped out loud. That was the most beautiful place I’d ever seen in my whole life. A beautiful wide lake, jungle in the other end, waters reflecting the color of the sky and a wooden, no railing bridge that ended right at the center of the lake. “This is beautiful Aunt Nancy,” I stated. “It is right? When Max and I were looking for a place to build our house, we found this place and I instantly fell in love with this scene. So, we built a house here and made it our home.” “I hope I get to live like that too Aunt Nancy.” “Why are you saying it with so much sadness? Gabriel will turn this world upside down just for you to be happy.” She gently smiled at me. Her eyes weren

Zayla’s p.o.v“You never told me you were a Lycan.” As we were speaking so casually, I stated one amongst many main truths about him that he’d not told me.“Would it have changed anything for you?”Now no. Back then maybe yes. “But… I thought Lycans weren’t real.”“The same way werewolves aren’t real for humans.” He smirked. “Try asking your werewolf friends if we are real or not. But don’t tell them it’s me.” He winked.“Why?”“Because I’d hate to kill anyone who knows my identity.”“But I do.”“You deserved to. It was just matter of time.”“Don’t you think that maybe I’ll tell about you to the outer world?”“No.” his voice echoed honesty.“You trust me that much?”“Yes.”“Why?”“Because you are the mate I chose.”I hardly doubted that. He must have thought of me as a complete fool. It was a general fact that mates can’t be chosen, they are destined.“Gabriel?”“Yeah love.”“I was just thinking. You know many things about me, not all but still enough. But I know close to nothing abou

As we were all one by one being called up on stage to receive our degree, I noticed it was Gabriel who was handing them out and not the dean. I could hear few students say that Gabriel never even showed up in the graduation day in all the years he had become the major investor in the uni. But he was here this year and they suspected it was because of the girl he'd mentioned earlier.As my turn was approaching, my heart was beating loudly. He wasn’t a stranger anymore. We’d shared hundreds of meals together, hundreds of car ride, and hundreds of hugging each other to sleep, but this time it was somehow different. When he handed me the degree and shook my hand, he left a small piece of paper in my hand which I hid immediately. “Congratulations my Mrs. Grayson! And this dress fits you so well.” he whispered.If I’d fainted then still that would be the lightest reaction. He was an expert at catching me off guard.I went back to my seat and Hannah hugged me and congratulated me. She was ha

I’d just gotten Gabriel, finally I was seeing my chance at happiness but somehow, the fear was overtaking everything, leaving me with nothing but a frightened heart. I straight away went to take a quick shower and changed into a comfortable clothes. I did not like this uneasiness so I had to do something about it. And the only way to calm myself was... if I meet Gabriel. Without having my morning breakfast, I walked out of my apartment. I tried his business phone and fortunately his secretary Jim had picked up my call. On asking about the whereabouts of Gabriel, Jim told me they were in their branch office in the south of the city. I immediately called a cab and made my way to his company, to meet him. Something was telling me I should back out, I shouldn’t pry so much, but the other part was telling me that something bad was about to happen, a pure dark negative energy was lingering around me. I reached his office after a long two hours cab ride. It was my first time in that bran
