Gabriel's POV:A long time had passed since I last saw Lara, my mate, who I had rejected four years ago. It had played on my mind for many years, a lot of regret and remorse plaguing my whole being.As I grew older and wiser, I realised how immature and despicable I had been to her.The last two years, I had been searching for her, her family unwilling to provide any details or information on where I could find her. I was furious at first, when Reed had denied me access to his territory.My wolf wanted to invade his pack and start a war because of his noncompliance. He was as enraged with Reed as he was with me, my wolf always wanted Lara, he was possessive and infatuated with her.The power of a mate connection was inconceivable and unimaginable. My wolf cherished her before even knowing her, he could just feel his undying devotion to his mate.I couldn't blame Reed and the rest of the Blood Walkers for refusing me, their Beta Dylan had used the word rejected when we spoke. He had pu
I cringed slightly, not cowering but uncomfortable. I didn't have anything to say to Gabriel, I didn't feel like I needed to or owed him anything. For the sake of our daughter, I would be willing to sort something out but nothing more."We need to leave Gabriel; we both have a flight to catch."He breathed in deeply, trying to gain control of his wolf who flickered between his eyes. "No Lara, you're both coming with me." He lowered his voice, not wanting to use a frightening tone in front of his daughter."No Gabriel," I replied sternly, not faltering from confidence. "We are not a part of your pack and I am not obliged to go anywhere with you."Raising an eyebrow at me, he turned around to his pack members whose attention were fully on us. They were shocked and astonished by the revelation that their Alpha had a daughter.I went to move forward, seizing the opportunity to exit quickly, wanting to remove myself from this awkward situation.Persistent on getting to my car quickly, I ha
He immediately fell unconditionally and utterly in love with her, bringing her back to Black Moon territory. Within three months, they discovered Charlie was pregnant with their first child, who they named Tilly.Charlie made an impressive female Beta especially as the genes run through her blood, her father a Beta. She was born into a pack in England.Eli is still mate less and happy, he enjoys the bachelor life that he has acquired over the years and continues to relish in it.I walked down the hallway and down the stairs towards the garage. I still occupied the first floor of the pack house, yet I had my own vacant property situated to the North of my territory, hidden deep within the woods.I noted that four wolves were piling into the other vehicle, all pack warriors and highly trained in combat. They nodded at me respectfully as they waited for Dan, Eli and me.Dan decided to drive, with me in the passenger seat with Eli sitting directly behind me. "We should get moving." I said
We all laughed at her silly suggestion as Dan smiles and shakes his head in amusement at being compared to hulk by a four-year-old."So, Kennedy, what does that make me? Superman." Eli enthusiastically comments, his posture changing into a different position as he moves his arms into the superman pose. He had a huge grin on his face, nodding his head and wiggling his eyebrows as if he was correct.His response only made Dan scoff, taking a large sip of his coke."Donald duck." Kenny chirps, a wide smile on her face.Eli's expression was met with disgust, not impressed with the four-year olds suggestion. His face completely dropping with his voice stuttering, reminding me of a minion from despicable me as he shouted "What?"Dan choked on his drink, making us all laugh harder, even when we all thought we had gained our composure back, we hadn't. "Quack, quack bitch." Dan whispers lowly, so everyone but Kennedy could hear.Once we had finished our food, we threw our empty packaging away
I followed Kennedy's scent while feeling Gabriel's presence following closely behind me. He remained silent as we walked through the pack house and into the kitchen where everyone was sitting.Dan, Eli and Kennedy were there along with another wolf and child. I noted immediately that she must have been Dan's mate by the way he held onto her, her stance so light and comfortable. The little girl looking identical to her."Hi, I'm Charlie." She instantly said, a friendly smile beamed across her face as she approached me. I returned the smile and greeted her."Lara," I replied, introducing myself as I searched around to find Kennedy sitting on the floor along with who I assumed was Dan and Charlie's daughter.I could feel Gabriel standing behind me, my stature turning stiff and full of tension. My argument with Gabriel still on my mind and still very fresh."Would you like me to take them outside to play for a little while?" Charlie suggested, her eyes trained on mine for permission. Ever
We all watched on as Kennedy and Tilly played in the pack playground. Other wolves and their children occupied the area as the children laughed and screamed as they chased each other around.It felt strange that I was hanging around Gabriel and the rest of his pack. It was almost normal. We just sat on the grass watching our children while discussing general pack life.Gabriel didn't seem to mind that they were discussing a few private matters in front of me, although it was nothing serious, I was still not a member of the Black Moon pack.It was late when I noticed the sun was beginning to settle. Kennedy came rushing over, she was laughing but I could see in her eyes how tired she was. She bundled herself on top of me, throwing her arms around my neck."Tired baby?" I laughed, her body moving to sit on mine comfortably holding me close. She yawned, a smile on her face. I could tell she was about to decline, wanting to continue playing with her new friends.I could feel Gabriel's gaz
Gabriel's POV:I woke up earlier than usual, my wolf had been restless and frigidity throughout the night. He was excited by the thought of our mate and daughter in the opposite room, he was eager to see them.He desperately wanted to sleep in the same room as them, but I forced him down, we had to respect Lara's wishes.I groaned slightly as I stretched, my bones clicking as I looked at my alarm clock. It was 7 in the morning.I threw my comforter off, pushing myself out of bed and into my bathroom for a quick shower. I mind linked both Dan and Eli, requesting a meeting in 45 minutes. They both agreed, I had to discuss a few matters concerning Lara and Kennedy with them.Within half hour, I was dressed and already made my way into the kitchen.Only to find Eli sitting on the stool, eating my chips as Dan shook his head. They were early, but I couldn't complain, it meant I could spend more time with Lara and Kennedy before having to take them back to Blood Walker's territory.I wasn't
We were twenty minutes away from entering Blood Walker's Territory and to say I was a nervous wreck was an understatement.I was apprehensive, my nerves and anxiety raised at the thought of Gabriel meeting my family. They didn't exactly have an outstanding opinion of him or a favourable view on his character.I had phoned them ten minutes ago, informing Reed that we would be within the border soon. He had sent wolves to help guide the car through to Julian and Grace's house even though I knew the route, he was taking extra precaution.Reed had invoked our alliance with Blood Moon days after my rejection, Dylan was insistent. I knew that both Dylan and Reed were going to be the toughest to calm down, to reason with.I hadn't forgiven Gabriel in the slightest, but I wanted to be open minded to the idea. To move on, holding onto hurt and anger wasn't going to change anything. It wasn't healthy for me or Kennedy."You realise how awkward this is going to be? You're not exactly my families
