Semua Bab THE ILL-FATED MATCH: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Chapter oneGabriel Adams, alpha of the Blue Moon Pack, had long since learnt that power and positions of authority meant nothing to a toddler. They were positively unconcerned.He drove a little above speed limit to pick up his three-year-old toddler, Theresa Adams, from kindergarten, who had requested, no, demanded that her father be the one to come pick her up from school on her birthday. It didn't matter if the world was falling apart.Her demands had to be met. Gabriel thought how ridiculous it was that a three-year-old could hold so much power over the most feared and most powerful alpha among the alphas of the nine packs.He found a suitable parking spot and climbed out of his car thinking of a gentle way to put his toddler in her place when he spotted her running towards him. All thoughts of a gentle lecture on respect and responsibility fled.Theresa ran towards him, a lunch bag in one hand and a Mickey mouse backpack slung over one little shoulder, as fast as her little legs

Chapter ThreeWhen Selena came out of the changing room, Michael Knowles was there leaning against the wall waiting for her.He was kind and attractive with light blonde hair and baby blue eyes, yet Selena was still wary of him. Actually she was wary of anything that looked like a man."Please let me drive you home" he said as he pushed off the wall.Selena nervously tucked a lock of hair behind one ear and answered "thank you Mr Knowles....""Michael" he corrected."Thank you Michael but I would rather find my own way home" she said as she nervously toyed with the pendant on her neck."I can see you've let down your hair. Unfortunately just literally and not metaphorically," Michael observed, dipping both hands into his pockets.Selena had nothing to say to that."Thanks for coming to my rescue earlier, goodnight,” Michael smiled ruefully and watched bewildered as she walked off.At the last minute, he huffed out of breath and followed her out of the building."I don't bite you know.

Chapter Five Selena's eyes flew open as a mother's screams roused her from her deep slumber. The first thing she registered was the rolling blades of the ceiling fan so close to her face. She screamed in panic and landed with a thud on her bed. Her father appeared in the doorway alarmed by their screams. He gave his wife and daughter a quick glance and scanned Selena's room for any sign of a threat. "What in God's name made you two scream like that?" He questioned after confirming they were unharmed and that there was nothing scary or dangerous in the room. Her mother pointed one shaky finger at her, not saying a word. Selena herself was still trying to make sense of what had happened. She was still in shock to have been so close to death. Gerald's gaze ping-ponged between his wife and daughter. "Nancy what's going on?" He placed his hands on her arms and shook her. "She was up there. Just about to sliced by the fans blades" she managed to say amidst sobs. "You mean she was t

RUDE AWAKENING Selena had lain on the bed and had already begun to slowly drift off into sleep when she heard the door creak open. Slowly she opened her eyes, heart already pounding and inspite of herself nearly gave a cry of alarm when her father's image filled the doorway. He brought one finger to his lips in time and gently shut the door. Selena scrambled off the bed, her back against the wall as her father advanced on her. She knew what was coming. It had happened before. The first and last time a boy from school had walked her home. It was his own way of absolving her of her sins. She wondered how his flock could not see that their priest was evil. A religious monster was exactly what he was. He was one of the reasons she didn't believe in God. Or how could the pure and holy God watch an evil man serve him, feed the congregation communion, without striking him dead? She had waited and watched every time she attended mass for her father to suddenly drop dead, but here he was abou

ARRIVALGabriel woke up just in time to find his cousin and beta, Shawn Adams, holding up a bowl of water over his face. His eyes betrayed his intent and immediately clouded with disappointment when he discovered that Gabriel's eyes were open.They stared at each other for a full minute before Shawn burst out laughing.His best friend, the future gamma of the pack, Adrian McCall, appeared holding his cell phone. "Shit! We could have caught some action on camera. Why the hell did you wake up now?""Really? I worry about Clara's and Raphael's pranks. I never thought that I would have to add my cousin's and bestfriend's to the list."Adrian stared at him wide eyed and open mouthed."What?" Gabriel demanded."You succeeded in doing the same thing to me while I was asleep just last week. You even caught it on camera and now you…""Oh please, everyone should have their own fair share of getting pranked. Those kids are my fair share. You do not have anyone else to play pranks on you except S
