CATRIONA
This is weird.
When I heard the skinny girl’s voice in my head my body became as cold as ice and within a minute it became warm again. Just by hearing that girl’s voice made the hair on my skin stand on end. Let me hope what I am thinking is wrong. I leisurely and resolutely turned around knowing there would be nothing creepy going on behind me because of Gabriel’s presence. When i spun, my terrorism of screaming the word “you scared me”, it was the ghost girl I saw instead of Gabriel.
My life is already messy and you’re just making it worse for me to breathe. I yelped at her. Get lost please. Gabriel passed through her and cupped my shoulders. Something is going on with you, right? In Other words, I feel the same fear you had earlier. And I’m sure that yelping was not about me. What’s going on baby. He asked.
Yes you’re right, it’s not about you, but would you believe me if I tell you that I can see ghosts and that there’s one right now staring unblinkingly at me as if it had seen the most terrifying ghost other than it. Will you? I asked.
He went dump while staring down at me.
“It’s been a long day pumpkin, you must be hallucinating”. I’m sure that’s what he’s practicing to spill out of his mouth. That’s the same thing Jayden said to me when I told him about this girl whom I didn’t know was a ghost. Like why are they my mates when they don’t even believe a single word I tell them? And Gabriel’s silence confirmed it. He thinks I’m being paranoid.
Don’t take it seriously, it was a joke. I said.
I believe you, pumpkin. He said. You do? I muttered.
Are you okay, woman? We heard a scream. A group of people asked while running to us. Ooh shit, did these people come running because of the little scream I made? They finally made it to me and my heartbeat stopped for a second when I spotted my grandmother and Lauren tagging along.
Was it you? Lauren asked. Only if I knew you were the one we came to help I would have stayed in my covers. She said,
Hi grandma, hi Lauren. No reply, and I didn’t expect it.
What happened girl? What was that scream for? One elder asked. I looked beside me to now an empty space where the ghost girl was.
“Erh…” because I accidentally stepped on the snake but thank god it ran away. I stammered. Lauren scoffed. Look girl, It’s been ages since we last saw a snake in this town. If that is the excuse you have, DECLINED. She gobbed.
Are you sure it was a snake you saw? And you didn’t get hurt? They asked again. I hummed in response. You’re sure….?
She’s perfectly fine. Gabriel said curtly in that intimidating strong voice that makes every woman shudder. They instantly focused their gazes on him, looking startled.
And you are…. ? They asked. I opened my mouth to reply that he’s with me when he cut me off.
Her boyfriend. He answered.
When the air cleared out everybody left except for my grandmother and Lauren. I constantly caught Lauren stealing gazes at Gabriel whose eyes were focused only on me as if the two of them don’t exist.
Once the silence settled in the four of us, I permitted myself to speak but grandma grasped my hand and asked me to follow her. Gabriel grasped my other free hand making us stop. I’m tagging along. He said.
I won’t swallow her if that’s what you’re worried about.
If swallowing humans is your speciality, you won’t even try on my woman under my watch. Grandma released my hand in a disgusting way. She gazed at me.
The reason that made you come at this time must be good but it looks like I won’t be able to welcome you now. Come back tomorrow and I’ll listen to whatever it is. No, grandma. Please give me one minute of your time and I’ll leave right away. I promise. Just one minute Please.
Granny, you don’t mean it. You can’t tell her to go back to Vancouver at this time when she specifically came to see you. Let’s get them at the house as you hear her out.
I choked on my silver, bewildered. As well as grandma. Did I just hear Lauren right? Siding with me? This was horrifying news because the Lauren I know would never do that. Her aim whenever she saw me was to make sure she left me crying by spewing me out with hate and hurtful words.
Without saying anything else, grandma grabbed Lauren by hand and dragged her away. Wait granny, I need to confirm something first. She said but grandma didn’t listen. I was on the verge of tears when I saw them disappearing. This was the only chance I had to ask her about the old woman.
I spun around and looked up at Gabriel. “Did you have to do that? It was my only chance to…
Did I say something I didn’t have to? He asked innocently, his voice jarring.
Nevermind. I said and bimbled away from him disappointedly.
I heard his footsteps moving leisurely behind me and I somehow felt safe that at least he’s by my side. Once again in a while I feel like I was born to cry. I was born to feel pain. Not just physically but mentally as well. No, this isn’t the time to break down. Grandma told me to come back tomorrow. If I find that old woman I will be able to find my family. And if I find them I won’t be called the cursed one, ever again. Thinking of that brought a smile on my lips.
I arrived at the car but Gabriel spaced himself from me. Can we find a place where we can spend these remaining five hours? I asked him. He didn’t object.
The hotel we found was not that good but at least it had decent accommodations.
Inside the room, Gabriel still spaced himself from me. I’ll let you rest now, but just know I’ll be on guard right next-door.
I beamed. He looks so damn handsome. I moved closer to him.
I don’t know what that beaming is all about but it drives me crazy. He said.
I also don’t know how I ended up in this situation of falling in love with another man besides my hot and handsome boyfriend whom I love with all my whole, but at the same time I can’t help it any more that I’m in love with another gorgeous man, which I think is not fair. So Mr Gabriel, am I being too selfish to ask you for a warm and erotic night? He didn’t reply.
Gabriel, Hmm.
Can we pretend this room is our bedroom and do things mates do when they’re alone in their bedrooms?
He was still silent and then beamed up brightly, giving me that perfect smile ever. He moved right behind me silently and began massaging me in small concentric circles, kneading my sore muscles with his strong and firm fingers. He leaned in, his stubbles scraping my sensitive skin. You’re not being selfish, pumpkin, I’m willing and ready to do whatever makes you happy and comfortable. He whispered and gently kissed my neck, but enough to feel the warmth of his lips diffusing onto my open skin.
Still behind me, he slid my shirt off and my bra followed. He wrapped his hands around me and my nipples hardened instantly at his touch. I started breathing heavily the moment he pressed himself up against me, his hardening length bulging at the confines of his pants. That was enough for me to turn around and face him directly. I can see you’re not a patient girl but let’s go with that. He said teasingly. I stripped his shirt off his body leaving his torso bare before me. He kissed me on the lips, a kiss full of tenderness and longing in it. I parted my lips, his tongue enclosing mine….
He moved his lips from my mouth to my collarbone and finally on my chest, his mouth encircling my nipples while his tongue teases continuously making me moan. He stripped me fully and began playing with my clit. As things tensed up, he grasped my wrist and gently pushed me down to bed. He stripped his pants off and I almost lost it at the sight of his massive cock. Are all werewolf alphas this huge?
Gabriel crawled up, spreading my legs wide for his huge lower half to fit between my legs. I’m sorry pumpkin but I want to be inside you now. He said, and with that he perfectly and gently filled me with his cock but enough to make me squirm, sliding it inside me like it was always meant to fit there.
