CATRIONA
My heart was about to explode, and I couldn’t bear it that I found myself planting my lips on his with tears flowing down.
“You don’t have to be afraid because- I am here for you. You have me.” By then, you were young and hopeless. Now you’re not that same young and hopeless boy. You’re a man, a strong man. A strong alpha, everyone fears. This is your kingdom, Gabriel. Stand on your feet and hold your head high and show her how the king rules his kingdom. Those people who hurt us don’t care about our feelings, so it’s up to us to deal with them, heal ourselves, and move on with life painfully but stronger. The right she had to mandate your life was in the past. This is present with a different person. I rapped. So, promise me that you won’t scale back from your responsibilities because of her.
“If that’s what you want.” He said.
Yes, that’s what I want, but I don’t want you to do it because you want to make me happy. Do it for yourself, too. It’s the only way you can quell that fear in you.
I will do as you said, but the question i have–
he placed his big hand on my cheek and evenly asked, “Where do we stand now? Because I can’t let you go. Besides you being my mate, I’ve never felt this way for any woman in thirty-four years I’ve lived.
My heart was hitching to his words. I know what I wanted to do, but I am scared to betray Jayden. I gave him my word, but still, I can’t ignore the strong feeling I get when I am near Gabriel. After habitually hesitating, I finally placed my lips on his again that he didn’t hesitate taking. He wrapped his hands around my neck and opened his lips as I did, and we slowly and tenderly kissed each other’s lips before incorporating our tongues. His kissing became deep, longing and full of hunger as if his life depended on it.
He laid me down on the bed, and he came on top of me without leaving my lips. As our bodies underneath the fabrics pressed together, I felt a rush of heat radiating through my body that I pressed more onto him. He moved from my lips, down in the crook of my neck and to my cleavage as he slowly moved his hands on my legs running them up and down, sending a wave of heat between my central. The feel of him growing hard made me wild that it made my pussy moisture out. I unbuttoned his shirt, helped him it off and snaked my hands all over his bare torso making him groan indicating pleasure. I drew my hands downwards on the waistband of his sweatpants and unhooked the drawcord.
He got off me and knelt between my spreaded legs and slid his pants down releasing his hard, thick bulge, its tip shimmering with his pre-cum. I was breathing hard now and I wanted to feel his thick cock dilate my cunt. He swiftly flipped us around in the position of me being on top and lifted my dress off, followed my bra, revealing my breasts free before his eyes as he completely pushed down his pants. He brought his hands on my breasts and started caressing them making my nipples erect by teasing them before flipping me back underneath him.
I’m never going to let you go. You’re everything I breathe. He whispered in my ear, sending multiple jolts of sensations to my already heated body. I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him back to my lips. As our tongues twirled around he drew his hand from my breast downward in my thong. I pulsated and writhed when his skin made contact with my sensitive clit. A knock at the door. We both looked at eachother, breathing hard.
You got to be fucking kidding me right now. Gabriel cursed. Another knock. “Who do you think is that?! I asked, my voice trembling.” Before he could respond, my brother’s voice came through it.
“Big sister, are you really in there? He asked. I’m fucked, how do I respond back. Gabriel crooked in my neck rambling with so much disappointment–
“You gotta be kidding me, you gotta be kidding me, you gotta be kidding me.”
Grandmother told me you’re inside there but you’re not replying. Grandmother, did you lie to me? He screamed. I could hear Miss Olivier convincing him. On another hand Gabriel’s hand in my pants and his hot breath on my skin was making it hard for me to concentrate and get my breathing back to normal. Gabriel, get off me before my brother budges in. I’m sorry. I apologised as I yanked my dress back on leaving out the bra.
Gabriel, put your clothes on and get out of this room. Please.
I will, pumpkin.
Opening the door I found Miss Olivier taking my sad brother towards the elevator. Baby! I called and he turned with a wide smile. He ran to me in a warm hug. Are you crying, baby? I asked. I thought you left when you said you’re spending a night with us. He ranted. I never left without saying goodbye to you. Didn’t i? I asked and he agreed with me. It’s just that I had some work I had to do. I added. Okay big sister. Forgive me if I acted like a spoiled brat. It’s okay baby. He intertwined our hands together, as we got in the elevator.
How’s he, child? Miss Olivier asked.
He’s in good shape now. I replied, my tears threatening to come out. “Should I call this fate? For both the men I love to have such a painful and similar past.” My brother’s kiss on my hand pulled me out of my thoughts. I love you so much my big sister. I love you too baby. I arched down and kissed on both cheeks. My brother is my strength. There was a time I wanted to end my life because the struggle was too much but the fear of leaving him alone in this heartless world gave me a reason to live.
Edrine dragged me out of the elevator and took me in a big hall home. The hall was colourful with all types of writing paint on the walls, different types of kids decorations, arts, all types of stuffed animals, toys and books. This room makes you want to have kids. My heart ached for my innocent babies. They’d have been here with me. I felt my heart jacking out of my body when the kids bumped me down. Luna, Luna. They happily screamed in unison.
O-M-G– you’re going to hurt her. A woman yelled at them and they immediately got off me. I breathed “IN and OUT,” steading my battering heart. That was an unexpected ambush. Omg I am so sorry, luna. The woman that yelled at them apologised. Are you okay? She asked with worry on her face.
I’m fine, they kind of surprised me though. But I am surely fine. You are welcome, Luna. She, the kids, and other women said, bowing at me. Why did Gabriel have to mislead his people? I’m not their luna. Um… “Please be casual with me. I said, giving them a frivolous smile. As the kids went back to their businesses, the women politely asked me to join them. I stilled in my posture. I wasn’t sure if I was the one they were calling until one of them held my hand and took me to where they gathered. They’re so friendly toward me, and it left me wondering if they were really friendly, or Gabriel told them to be friendly with me. Either way, I am glad and happy that I got to interact with people for the very first time in life.
I enjoyed every second I spent with them. No one gave me spiteful words nor seeing any of them giving me a leering stare. Unlike Jayden’s people.
The women whom I came to know their names led the kids out to have dinner, including Edrine. I decided to go check on what Gabriel is up to. As I was walking, I caught a glimpse of Gabriel’s brother being dragged by his mother away from wandering pack members and into one of the rooms. Gabriel’s brother looked furious, but his mother looked more furious. I didn’t tend to meddle in whatever they were up to but just found myself plodding over to the room.
When I made sure no one was around, I snooped at the door, but I couldn’t hear what they were talking about. Am I doing the right thing, though? Of course not. I turned to leave, but Gabriel’s voice went a little higher. I hate him too, but killing him is too much.
I halted, stunned. “Killing him!! Who? Who is he talking about?” Dying of curiosity, I carefully opened the door a little to get a clear conversation.
Mykel, we talked about this and would not want us to talk about it again. She spat annoyingly. Alright, mother. You can kill him as you wished. But count me out because I’m going back with my daughter. He said.
Who is he talking about for Christ sake? I self-asked between gritted teeth.
You know what I will do if you dare leave. She said, and I saw him tensing and never said another word. Don’t feel guilty because he’s your brother. I will be the one doing it. I will make sure to give him a painless death.
As soon as she finished, I felt a shiver of terror rushing down my knees. Are they talking about Gabriel? Did they come to kill him? Why would they….? No, I can’t let that happen. I need to let Gabriel know.
I didn’t get too far when my legs failed me. I fell down and suddenly my head and eyes became heavy.
This is his destiny. It’s not your place to interfere. A man’s voice said. I rose up from the floor only to see the same old man I recently saw in my dreams. Out of terror, I tried to run away from him, but my whole body became immobilized.
Don’t be scared. I can’t hurt you.
Who are you? How did you get in here?
He ignored my questions as he squatted down.
This man has to die, and you can’t stop it. It’s his destiny.
You’re annoying me with your rubbish. I said, giving him a deadly glare.
If you stop his death by telling him what you heard, the destiny of his death will flip around to you. And when it does, both men’s memories of you will be wiped out.
Who the hell are you to talk about people’s destinies? Are you God? I will do whatever it takes to stop it. Whatever you are, listen to me and mark my words. I’m his mate, so as his mate I will stop that stupid fucking destiny. Watch me stop it. I snapped at him, my voice trembling.
Okay, you want to stop him from dying, but did you think about the child inside you? Are you ready to lose that child you’re carrying?”
