Mabel X Gideon Novels & Stories

"We spent an hour talking, she took a bath, and now we're good friends." Gwen smiled, relieved that Faye found someone else to get along with. "Oh!" Mabel exclaimed. "Do you know she's actually twenty four years old?" Gwen and Nick's jaws fell to the floor. "What?!" Gwen's head snapped towards a confused Faye. "She looks no older than sixteen!" "My words exactly" Mabel shrugged. Then she sat up, crossing her legs as her smile suddenly shifted to a frown. "There's more." Her voice carried weight, a hint of rage that captured both Nick and Gwen's attention at once.

Breakfast was toast and tea because that was what stayed down, and Mabel was talking about something she had seen in the market, some overpriced kitchen gadget that she had strong opinions about, and Briar was listening with half her attention while watching the steam rise from her cup. Then Mabel said, in the middle of a sentence about the gadget, "Liam's family lost the distribution contract by the way, Gideon's people moved in last week, and Liam himself has been on border rotation since Monday so I haven't been able to reach him about the next injection and we might need to find another" She stopped. Briar looked at her. "The whole beta family," Briar said. Mabel pressed her lips togethe

The questions about the traitor could wait; right now, I was focused on the present and the love we shared. *** As we continued our training session in the well-equipped gym of our mansion, a sudden sharp pain shot through my abdomen, causing me to gasp and clutch my stomach. Vincenzo immediately halted our practice, concern etching lines on his face. "Bella, are you okay?" he asked urgently, his voice filled with worry. I nodded, trying to steady my breathing. "I... I think so," I managed to say through gritted teeth. "It's just a cramp, I guess."

“Mom, I love this Goulash.” “It has always been your favorite, and I made it, especially for you,” his mother smiled. Seeing that Gabriel was not taking the discussion seriously, his father chimed, “Gabby, stay away from Maeve.” “That is not impossible,” Gabriel retorted fiercely. Even his mother was shocked. Gabriel was reading the meanings of Maeve’s actions. Her sudden closeness to him. He could see how she regretted her actions and was hoping she’d break up with Dylan. If that happened, he was sure to make her the happiest woman on the planet.

At that moment, I was just glad I'd come to my senses early before I got dragged further into their mess. I didn't spare them another glance. Instead, I got into the car with Dad and drove off. … From that day on, Mabel disappeared from my life. At first, I was worried she might come looking for me again after she dealt with Carter and the child. It wasn't until a year later that I heard from a friend that she had been paralyzed. After returning from New Bastia, Mabel forced herself to go through with an abortion. Resentment consumed Carter, and he drove his car straight into her, leaving her crippled.

The sheer absurdity of it, of Damien, the cold, controlled Damien, falling for the target, for the daughter of the woman who destroyed our family it was almost laughable. Almost. It had complicated everything, but ultimately, it didn’t matter. The outcome was the same. She was here. My gaze dropped from Leila’s face to Mabel’s, still huddled on the floor, shaking. All of it… it all came back to her. Mabel looked up at me, her eyes pleading. She knew. She knew what was coming. “Gerald,” she whispered, her voice a shaky plea, her eyes filled with a desperate, dying love.

And just like that Gideon forgot all about Tessa's petty anger and now he had no control over his emotions, some sort of ego depletion except in this case he had no total control over his conscious mind. "You boys are in the pool this early" Gabriel's girlfriend said passing by the pool. "Morning babe, join us" "Babe?" Gideon asked surprised, even for a man soaring in the skies that was fast. Faster than his, had he not met the girl just the previous day. But anyway, it was just "babe" yeah, anyone could call anyone babe, right? "Yeah, lily and I will get married. I'm planning to go meet with her parents as soon as you guys get engaged officially"

"You still haven’t said why you were in my garden." I hesitated. "I needed space. I started walking. The forest felt… quiet. I didn’t mean to trespass. I’m Mabel." He tilted his head. "Mabel." Then nodded once. "You can call me Gideon."

Her eyes locked onto Gideon standing in the center of the living room with his arms crossed and his back turned toward them. He was staring at a massive wall monitor that played the viral street brawl on an endless repeating cycle. The shrill sound of Sybella screaming insults filled the tense air and made Maren flinch with fresh waves of guilt. She prepared her mind for the vicious verbal assault she assumed he would unleash upon her for destroying their careful public facade. "I can explain what happened on the street before you say anything," Maren started with a shaking voice as she took a tentative step forward. "Sybella cornered us the moment we stepped onto the pavement and she starte

A cruel coincidence. Gideon looked like neither woman. His hair had faded into a sandy white, and a choppy beard covered most of his jaw. His mustache was so sharply separated from the beard that it looked almost fake. Odd fucking thing. Maybe Maeve was contaminating my thoughts. Gideon's gaze went immediately past me toward the pack house. "Where is Mara?" At the exact same moment Lena looked at Maeve. "Maeve, are you alright?" Interesting. Different priorities. Maeve stiffened beside me. She didn't answer. Not yet.
