All Chapters of Falling in love with a supernatural being : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My worst fear had just come true. Leah’s parents weren’t just cruel. They had handed her over without a second thought.A wave of cold anger rushed through me. Without hesitating, I struck the side of the guard’s neck with the edge of my hand. His eyes rolled back, and his body went limp. He collapsed onto the neatly trimmed grass, unconscious.He wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, and by the time he did, I would be long gone.I vaulted over the iron perimeter wall, landing lightly on my feet on the other side. My mind was racing. If Luke had taken her, there was only one place that made sense: the isolated penthouse near the border, the very place where I had smelled her sweet scent for the first time.I ran into the dark cover of the treeline, stripped off my clothes, and let my wolf burst forth. Bones shattered and reformed as the giant black beast took over, tearing through the overgrown brush like a shadow with blue eyes.The forest rushed past me in a dark blur. Within minutes,

Then I saw who it was.Luke Paul.A deep growl escaped my throat. If Luke was here, then Leah couldn’t be far away. And if she wasn’t here, then he knew where she was.I grabbed the tree beside me so hard that the rough bark dug into my hand. My claws pushed against my skin, itching to rip his throat open, break every bone in his body, and leave him lying in a pool of blood if it meant bringing my mate back into my arms.Before I could jump out of my hiding, the front door of the mansion suddenly burst open. The guard I had knocked out earlier staggered into the courtyard, one hand pressed against the back of his swollen neck. He looked weak and dazed, struggling to keep his balance.The second his eyes landed on Luke, every bit of colour vanished from his face. Fear filled his eyes. He hurried down the stone steps as fast as he could, almost tripping over his own feet in his panic.“B-Boss! You’re here!” he stammered, his whole body shaking.Luke didn’t hesitate. He stepped forward a

~Gab~I stood there in my wolf form as I looked up at the second-floor window. Leah didn't look away. She didn't scream or flinch at the sight of the black wolf staring at her. Instead, a small smile crossed her lips for a moment.My wolf threw back his head and let out a victorious howl. She wasn’t afraid of us. That alone filled me with hope.But then her eyes suddenly moved away from me, staring behind her. Her hands began to tremble against the window, shaking so badly that my heart nearly stopped. I knew that look. It could only mean one thing. Luke was in that room.Before I could react, the curtain rod gave way with a loud snap. The curtains came crashing down.The moment the curtains fell, I shifted back into my human form and took off toward the front entrance of the mansion. I had to get to her before it was too late.As I raced up the wide steps leading to the mansion’s massive front door, two huge security guards stepped out from behind. Their hands instantly moved toward

~ Leah ~The cool night air hit my face as Gab pulled me through the mansion’s front doors. For one brief moment, I could finally breathe.Relief rushed through me as we stepped outside. We were so close. We were finally getting away. I was escaping that horrible place… escaping the monster who had tried to destroy me.My heart felt lighter for the first time in what seemed like forever. Then, I looked back over Gab’s shoulder for one last glance.The moment I did. My heart stopped.Luke was standing at the end of the ruined hallway. His face was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with hate. His hands shook as he raised a black handgun and aimed it straight at Gab’s back.Gab didn’t see him. He was focused on getting me out. His only concern was protecting me. He had no idea Luke was about to pull the trigger.No. I couldn’t let that happen. I didn’t stop to think. I didn’t hesitate.The only person who had ever risked everything for me was standing in front of me. I wasn’t go

“You said that if you died, you wanted me to bury you somewhere quiet, far away from your parents… right?” Gab asked, his deep voice calm but firm.The memory came rushing back, and I slowly nodded. Gab took a step closer and bent down until his eyes were level with mine. The teasing smile on his face was gone. In its place was a serious, steady look that made my heart jump into my throat.“I can tell you this,” he said softly, his eyes locked on mine with a possessive look. “The old you—the broken, helpless girl who wanted to die—is gone. She’s buried somewhere far away. The lady standing in front of me now belongs to me. Only me.”A strange warmth spread through my chest, pushing away the last bit of cold from the night.Why was he saying this with so much certainty?In my twenty years of life, no one had ever claimed me with so much love. No one had ever fought for me, held me close, or made me feel wanted. Hearing him say those words with such fierce protectiveness made it feel l
