Luna

Chapter 14

Anger flowing through me. I seen my father, his men and Gabriel.

As soon as my eyes met Gabriel I felt a change in me, I wasn't in control anymore. It was someone else. Something else.

It was my wolf.

And she was enraged.

Swiftly, as if it was my thousandth time I've done it I turned into a wolf. I pounced onto my father knocking him off his feet as I continuously claw him, blood spewing all over my beautiful snow white fur.

Eventually the men let go of Gabriel and he went to my side pulling me off of my heavily injured father, I turned back human breathing heavily. Anger still flowing through me. I looked up at Gabriel, attraction numbing through my body. Safety and assurance, stability. Gabriel runs and grabs a blanket that was in a small bag they brought behind a tree, covering my naked body while he remains in his wolf form.

I looked back at my father who was being picked up by the two men, I walked over to my father to speak to him.

"You kept me in a cell for seven years. Barely fed me, never gave me good clothes to wear, and always made me do the packs work. And all you had to do was apologize to me, and all of this would be over. And stupidly enough. I'd always forgive you, because you are my father. But until then, have a nice life."

With that I walk back to Gabriel who was waiting there with open arms, he looked like he was in rough shape. Along with everyone else.

The fight was over. The AfterGlow pack won. My father's pack had been mostly injured or dead.

We walked home, I let Gabriel lean on my limping our way home.

I helped Gabriel up the stairs to his room and layed him down on his bed. His cuts deep, I run to his bathroom and grab his first aid kit.

"Dawn, I'm okay, I swear," Gabriel leans up.

"That's what you always say," I chuckle as I make my way over to him, he smiles sheepishly.

He takes off his shirt, revealing his perfectly chiseled abs. He has a six pack and big biceps.

Of course I watched contently (and enjoying myself) as he takes off his shirt. Almost like a Magic Mike scene.

I release the breath that I didn't know I was holding, he lays on the bed as I sit down beside him on my knees with the first aid open. I felt heat against my cheeks as I look apon his body.

I take out the rubbing alcohol and disinfect is cuts. He had one particular deep massive cut going from his collar bone down to almost his bellybutton diagonally. He squirmed.

"Stop squirming," I chuckled lightly. He let out a painful sigh when I put the rubbing alcohol on his massive cut.

I wrap up his torso and look at him. "Why were you guys fighting?"

Gabriel moves his arm and pulls me down to lay beside him. As we lay down on his bed, looking at eachother in the eyes, he moves his hand up and puts it on my cheek, rubbing small circles on it.

"Because you are worth fighting for I guess." He hesitantly chuckles, "your father was going to break into the house last night to steal you, we hit them before they hit us."

"Oh," I look down at my fumbling fingers, I look back up into Gabriel's beautiful eyes, "I don't like it when people fight over me." I chuckle.

He smiles at that, "so you got your wolf.. Finally," he laughs, "and she has gorgeous white fur!"

"She is pretty, isn't she," I smiled, "although I still haven't gotten that mind reader thing you guys have."

"That comes eventually, you just got her, things don't happen at once," he chuckles and puts his hand down onto my hip. It felt so natural. All I wanted to do was just lay here, talk to him and stare into those gorgeous eyes.

I sat up, "okay, let's bandage the rest of you up," he also sits up beside me.

He holds out his left arm. He sat close to me, I could feel his body heat radiating off of him. His right hand at my side.

He made me nervous, giddy, excited. But at the same time everything just felt so natural between us.

"So, Accalia is adopted?"

"Kind of," Gabriel spoke, "her mate lives here, although they are on a rough patch at the moment. Some things happened and she isnt very happy with him. My father and mother took her in when she was just a baby, a local pack had hit the ground with starvation and she was their heir."

"That explains why you two look absolutely nothing a like." I chuckle. "What about your parents?"

"They were murdered almost a year ago, and we just found out it was by your father. Although we have no idea why just yet."

"I'm sorry," I looked away from him. As we talked he kept a steady stare. I blushed under his gaze.

"Cali looked a little upset the other day when she seen my necklace, why do you know?" I looked up at Gabriel, his gaze moving away from mine.

"It goes to the future Luna of the pack," Gabriel blushes a little, "our mother had it. Cali and mum were super close and it just upset her a little. But she is okay now."

"Future Luna?"

"It, erm..." Gabriel gets awkward and starts fumbling with his fingers.

"It means were mates," our eyes meet, and as if the world stopped turning completely, time stopped, our hearts beat fast but out bodies moved to slow.

His hand went up to my cheek as mine wrapped around his neck, our lips inches apart, our breath teasing eachother. Our bodies numb, and nervous.

Our lips collided, and this time. It felt right.

So right.

It felt like fire works went off on our lips, it burned, it tasted so sweet, our bodies numb. Our stomachs butterflies.

Gabriel's hand found it's way onto my lower back and pulled me onto his lap. My back curved towards him. My hands tangled in his hair as his arms were wrapped around me so tightly, afraid I was going to let go.

He bit my lip gently and tastefully. It left goosebumps all over my body as we both gasp for air.

By far the best kiss I've ever had.

My body felt like fire against his, fire that was rushing to expand and make more fire.

He gave me that look, and in his eyes. I knew he was up to no good.

******

I made this chapter more of a catching up chapter about Gabriel's and Cali's past since we didn't really know much about them :/

Cali has a mate? Who??

Did you guys think Cali was adopted?

Shipping Dawn and Gabriel?? What would their ship name be? I'll leave it up to you guys.
