Gabriel
Walking away from Rachel was one of the hardest things I've done in a long time. Even for a few minutes, it felt like hell, my wolf was constantly craving her and nagging me about it. His smell, her smile, and even her snarking attitude are adorable in their way. But I know just what she needs right now, a quiet time alone to think, to adjust to the changes of me being around her. I know that if I push her too hard, she is going to push back harder than I might think. But that was so hard for me to take but I had no choice but to endure it. Have never seen a wolf that is independent and that she enjoys being alone so much.
And I hate to admit the fact that everything is my fault.
If I had been good to her and not been a jerk to her in the past, humiliating her in the presence of the pack members, maybe she would be more social and have more friends. Well, friends that are not like Debbie would do good. That girl is like a life fucking machine, may I should pay her a little visit to remind her who the boss is just like Rachel said.
I walked up towards the stars of the pack house to my room, most of the pack unmated wolves would move to the pack house once they graduate from high school. I never for once thought of why Rachel did move in, but after I saw the way other girls in the pack treat her, it makes sense why she never moved in. I guess she is more comfortable with her parents at home. I wonder if I can persuade her into moving to the room next to mine, whoever is in there now should start planning to leave.
I came up to Debbie's room and pounded on her door till she opened up, her eyes were red and puffy like she has been crying the whole day, but they go wide with fear and confusion when she saw me, I glanced down at her neck and saw the bruise mark Rachel left in her arms earlier today, my wolf whine in excitement at the thought of how strong our mate is.
Lovestruck pup.
Debbie noticed my wandering eyes and must have taken that for something it wasn't because she gave me one of her dirty and flirty smiles that I once fell for easily.
Now they make me want to puck on her.
This girl would be willing to sleep with just anyone. Especially a higher ranking wolf, if it comes with any kind of special advantage, not like my Rachel, that girl waited for me, actually not for me in particular, but she waited nonetheless just another little reminder that is not worth the dirt on her shoe. Was that how I made her feel all this year?
God is such an asshole.
"Did you finally come to your senses, Gabriel?" Debbie asks as she reaches out and runs her hands down my chest. I scoffed and pushed her away, making her fall to the ground.
" Yeah, I did, which is why I came here to warn you, stay away from Rachel and be respectful. The only reason I'm yet to kick you out of the pack for attacking you is that your birthday is in a few weeks. You either find your mate in the pack and settle down or you will leave and never have to come back. Those are the only options you have, try anything funny before then, and you will have to leave as a rogue, then no mate would want you, do you understand me? I asked harshly and she nodded back in fear.
I let out a little of my aura, though it was not as strong as my father's yet, it was strong enough to let her know how serious I was. When I was convinced that she got my message right, I nodded and headed toward my room. I entered and stripped, through t, the shirt Debbie touched into the garbage, she stinks and the last thing I need right now is Rachel smelling her on me, knowing I came in contact with Debbie she would be eager to reject me again.
I decided to hit the gym and work out a little once I was done with my bath, hoping the burning of my muscles will distract me from the ache of missing my mate. I don't know how anyone gets things done if being away from them is this fucking distracting.
I see Andy and Steve working out as well. They stopped what they were doing when they saw me and came running to me like they were lost puppies who finally found their way home.
"Hey Gabriel where have you been? Andy asked, out of the breath from his exercise, I ignored him and walked up to the punching bag.
With Rachel, trying to get her to accept me. I say with a hint of embarrassment in my voice, both guys laughed as if I just told them some hilarious joke.
"You can't be a serious man, what have you been up to?"Steve asked and my hackle instantly rose. I could feel my wolf on the edge ready to show his teeth and defend his mate.
"I have been doing just exactly what I said I have been doing," I said through gritted teeth and both guys looked at me confused.
" Why are you trying so hard to get her to like you?" We all thought you did reject her. Why would you want a slut for a mate? Andy asked and I growled at him.
"Call her that one more time and see what happens to you". I said and I knew my eyes were flashing black, they both looked at me in surprise.
"Dude, we were just looking out for the pack, we wouldn't want a Luna who sleeps with just everyone. Steve tries to reason and I feel a shift coming".
Rachel has never slept with anyone. Ever. I said pointedly and they both looked at me confused.
"Then why have you been calling her a slut for many years?"Andy asked and I took a deep breath.
"Because I'm an asshole," I say and they both frown.
"Either way, that girl is just weird, you will be lucky if she rejects you," Steve says and I couldn't help but laugh.
What's funny? Andy asked and I went back to the punching bag.
"She did reject me". I admit I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell people, but let them know their future Luna is strong, that she doesn't take a shit, even from her mate. Now I'm trying to get her to forgive me. I say and they both shake their heads.
"You are crazy, the pack will never accept her," Andy says and I growl at him.
