CATRIONA
I’ve been staying inside this unknown room for I don’t know how long. The first thing I remember was being carried away by something that I didn’t get the chance to see, taking me deeper into the woods. And after some good times, I found myself in this room. Two women with two heads each, came everyday to check on me without saying anything. I was freaking out so badly thinking of what was going to happen to me this time, and all my hopes were gone. But… but Gabriel showed up in a way that I didn’t expect. He was the last person I thought of and yet he’s the one that came which I am grateful and thankful for. And truth be told, it somehow feels good to be close to him.
Please don’t leave me here alone. I said to him, I’m not going anywhere without you pumpkin. He replied, relieving me. The posture we were in was great but I jerked away and looked up at him in his eyes which were full of concern.
“Pumpkin, are you okay? “Are you hurt?” He asked. I’m fine. I was just scared. I don’t know what’s going on and why I am here. And… and what was that thing that carried me up in the air? “What’s going on in my life? Why do strange things keep on happening to me? I cried out.
He held me by my hand and sat me on the bed and he did so. Look at me pumpkin. As long as I am here with you, nothing will happen to you. He said. I lightly smiled feeling a little bit of comfort.
“Why did you come alone? Where’s Jayden? And do you have any idea where we are? He looked at me and his lips formed a straight line.
l…. I will be honest with you. I have no idea where we are and where Jayden is. We came together but something happened to him and he was taken away. But I was told that he’s in good hands. He said.
What are you talking about Mr Gabriel, that something happened to him? What exactly happened to him? I asked him as fear and panic crept into me.
Look pumpkin, stop addressing me with Mr. Am your….
That’s not important now, I yelled, cutting him off. He raised his eyebrows, surprised. I’m sorry for raising my voice at you but I have a bad feeling that something bad must have happened to him. It’s okay pumpkin, don’t be sorry. He said. I lightly started shaking out of fear. He noticed my shaking and pressed his hand on my lap to assure me that it’ll be okay.
Thank you, I thanked him and looked him in the eyes with a smile of appreciation.
Don’t look at me like that. Don’t smile like that pumpkin. You’re just tormenting me. He said. Gabriel is a handsome man with beautiful blue hazel eyes, black hair in a low bun undercut with the professional thick beards. Ohh sweet Jesus, please lead me not into temptation. The man before me is perfect. I’m getting lost in his beautiful eyes.
We locked eyes for a long time and my body started reacting to his touch. He slowly drew close and leaned his head closer to mine wanting to kiss me. “Why am I not moving away? Why? Our faces were very close now and could feel each other’s breath. Come on Catriona, don’t get swayed away by this perfection, you have a resplendent, magnificent boyfriend for Christ’s sake. I self-talk and jumped away from his proximity as fast as I could.
I cleared my throat feeling embarrassed and guilty that I almost cheated on my mate.
“Erm…” What do we have to do to find Jayden? I asked. Gabriel got up and walked to the door and then over to me. Did that three- headed woman say something to you? He asked. No she didn’t. And the women I saw were two-heads not three-heads. The only thing they did was smile wildly whenever they looked at me. “Why are you asking? I asked him. I think the three of us are to be immolated. He said. What…? What are you saying that we are to be immolated? What is so special about us?
Pumpkin, don’t forget that Jayden and I are werewolf alphas. He said.
I know your werewolves but am not. I’m human. There’s nothing special about me. Or is it that they wanted to have the two of you so they decided to abduct me first? I asked. Let’s take it that way. He said. But we have to find Jayden before those nine days they talked about ends. And you’re the one who’s going to find out where he’s. He said. Who, me? I asked. Yes, pumpkin. Whatever you see you have to tell me through a mind link so that i get a quicker plan. Whoever comes back here you’ll have to do something for them to allow you to see Jayden. And from there we will get a plan of fishing him out of there. He said.
Okay, I am in. Are you sure you’ll be okay? He asked. I nodded. Won’t you freak out? If you knew I would freak out then why are you telling me to do it? Yes, I’ll do whatever it takes to get my man out of whatever danger he’s in. Gabriel stared at me for some minutes and then swallowed hard.
Pumpkin let me in your heart too. He said after a moment of silence. “Excuse me, what?” I asked dumbfounded.
You’re also my mate Catriona, and am your mate too. Jayden and I are both mated to one woman, and that’s you. I know that you feel the connection that’s between us and I know you get the sparks whenever we are in a close proximity. So pumpkin, please find a place in your heart for me as well. He said.
What nonsense are you talking about Mr Gabriel? He rose to his feet and knelt down before me and looked me in the eyes. Catriona I know this must be a lot on you right now, I know you haven’t been able to adapt with the supernatural world. But the more I wait, the more I lose self- control.
Mr Gabriel…. if you inscribe me again, by using Mr, I will kiss you madly. He said with a smile, exposing his one dimple on his left cheek. This man is handsome, and attractive. He’s right, I do feel something but I have Jayden. Jayden is my first love and he’s the one I love and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, even though his world is a bit hard to adapt with. But I am willing and ready to do whatever it takes, and face whatever comes to be one of them.
I’m sorry Mr. Gabriel but I won’t be able to… He cut me off by pressing his lips onto mine. He started kissing me tensely, hesitantly. I also found myself kissing him back. The kiss was tender and lovely but it grew wildly when our tongues collided. I was really enjoying the kiss, the taste of him. He tastes amazing that made me want more. I was enjoying the proximity of him. My body became hot with sensations because of his touch and kisses….
No, this is not right. Catriona, did you knock your head. Get the grip on yourself. This madness has to stop now. I self-talk but I was not breaking away. As the kiss continued, Gabriel brought his hands and slid them under my shirt. I pulled away and he gave me a confused stare.
What’s the matter, pumpkin? He asked. No, this is wrong. I have one mate. I’m in love with one man. I stood up to go into the small bathroom of this room but Gabriel blocked me.
Don’t say that word of “MY MAN, MY MATE” Infront of me Catriona. It pisses me off. I ignored him and moved to leave but he grasped my arm. Pumpkin, we’re still talking. I don’t like it when women ignore me. He said. I also don’t like it when men order me out. He looked down at me, his brows furrowed. Is this the first time for a woman to talk back to you? I asked him. He lowered down and leveled himself on me and smiled. Before he could say something, the door burst open and that three- headed woman entered with a serious expression. Immediately Gabriel was Infront of me protecting me from her.
I should have warned you Mr Alpha before bringing you here to your girlfriend. Whatever you two did, the other alpha didn’t like it. Now we have a problem and you woman, you’re the only one that has to solve it. She said or they said because all heads speak at the same time.
What are you trying to simplify here? Gabriel asked. What I am saying is that the infected alpha’s Spirit had been here the whole time. Now we have a big problem because he must’ve seen something that he didn’t like at all. And you two must be the cause of the problem we have. Now what did you two do that made him disappear?
