Chapter 1

Vivian's POV

As I lay on the soiled ground, there was something different. The crisped air seemed stronger, but I feel like a brand new women or wolf. As I stretch out my long beautiful slender legs my memory served me right. Remembering when Gabriel helped me change back. He told me about his outside life. His relationship with a human woman, a woman he loved and killed.
My hands start to roam up and down his abdomen. Just the feel of his muscles grazing over my finger tips made my body crumble. My body was so exhausted, from the running and outstanding sex. Now, I understand why Astrid and Esme had their issues. They weren't fighting on his personality. But, I think that I was meant for him. He was mine. Faintly I could hear Gabriel's deep breaths come and go. My body intertwined with his… Then right there those hazel eyes stared at me.

I smiled.

"Well, hello" My hands combed through is long brown hair. My chin on his right shoulder blade, "I know we've just fell asleep and everything. But, it's time for us to go up to my room. Sun rise is only in an hour. And, Esme doesn't know that I've changed back."

Gabriel's voice sounded rough but gentle. "You're right Vive. We should go but- that's if you'll let me into your bed?" I smacked him, "You know better Gabe. You can take my bed any day." I then added, "Better yet- you can have me all of me." My eyes signaled lust but love at the same time. Gabriel picked me up without disconnecting. He captured my lips with his and I could taste the sweet aroma of the woods. He started walking towards uncle Rudy's property we only had just a few minutes before sun rise. If only I could just sleep for a few moments I would be refreshed.

"Gabe" I whispered through his lips, "We have time, and I need to sleep." Gabriel slammed me against the hallway wall. I could feel his arousal come close.

"I know, But, I want you again before we head to bed. I just can't get enough of you Vive. You're eyes, you're soul is so breath taking." Gabriel then starts to nibble on my neck tasting my flesh. "Please?"

I moaned. "Esme is down stairs with Thomas." Gabe laughed.

"I don't think she's paying much attention to what's around her right now."

"Here?" I asked.

Right then I felt Gabriel grab me from behind to have more leverage. He looked at me lovingly and I couldn't resist. I just felt him thrust.

THREE HOURS LATER

**KNOCK, KNOCK**

"Vivian, it's time to stop wallowing! " I heard Esme yell making me jump out of bed. Gabriel was nowhere to be found. He must have left earlier before Esme came to check on me. I wrapped the sheet around myself.

"Go away." I said, groggy from the little sleep I've had.

"Vive, you have been in your room for an entire week. I know its hard being stuck. But, you need to come down stairs and have breakfast with me and Rudy."

"I said leave me alone!" I yelled, "I'm not ready to face everyone I'm too ashamed."

I tipped-toed to my dresser to find me fresh clothes a shower is calling my name. There were leafs still in my hair from the night before… It wasn't until I finished my daily routine when Gabriel snuck his arms around my slender body, "You should have warned me about last night Gabe." I still felt like I was in a dream.

I asked, "Where have you been anyway?"

"I've been downstairs."

Turning around I finally could see that he looked freshly showered and clothed. Gabe could see the confusion in my eyes. Knowing that this is all new to me…

"I left after you feel asleep; I didn't think you wanted to tell your mother about us yet. So, I decided to go on with my regular activities."

"I see" I felt like a total idiot, "Well, Gabriel" I said while walking back into my room from the hall bathroom.

"Last night, was a fairy tale, and when you left me I thought it was a dream…" I said this looking at my door, scared to know what Gabe would say. He then put his index finger under my chin.

"Vivian, I would never do that to you. It's taken this long for me to actually love you. I was surprised. "You love me?" Gabriel laughed, "Yes I love you, I know that I've been watching you but, I've always what's the word?" He thought for moment, "Admire you."

I smile a tear escape from my eye. "I want to take this slow. Even though the pack and Esme is going to except us to rush once she finds out that I've chose you." I said while putting my arms around his waist.

Gabriel held me savoring the moment engraving the memory. "There is something I should tell you Vivian."

"What is it?" I ask.

Gabe looked at me, "Axel is out on patrol he wants to speak to you." I felt Gabriel tense up at the menace of Axel. When I was just a pup, Gabriel did stay for his mother's and twins sister's sake to watch over them. He had no choice when his father decided to walk out on them when he was just a pup himself. But, his father of all people would come back fooling Gabriel and his mother. The twins were too young to really remember what happened. His father chooses alcohol over his family. In turn with the hurt and heartbroken Gabe's mom Vikki started to become depressed and drank like his father had to cover up the pain.

"I will speak to him, just please Gabe don't do anything stupid. Don't lose control, I've seen other males in the pack lose it once they see their chosen mate touch or even speak to another male."

"What are you asking me Vivian?"

I put a t-shirt on and some jean shorts. "I'm saying; don't lose your self control. You know Axe; He'll probably come up and hug me. And, I know how you can be also, I've seen you fight." I said with one eyebrow up. Gabriel didn't do a fight for sport; he did it for a purpose. He had done with Aiden. If I didn't stop Gabriel he would have killed that meat boy. Even though I have to admit, I was hurt and heartbroken, but I still had something there for Aiden.

I walked back into my room, "So I take it that everyone thinks that you've left?"

"Yes"

Gabe found my portfolio of paintings and started going through them. I quickly grabbed for the folder and put them back under my bed. "Don't look at those." Gabe smiled. "You can't trust me to look at your talent?"

"There are something's in there that are dark secrets. And I'm not ready to show you just yet." I said getting ready to go downstairs. He looked at me then, "There were drawings of that meat boy, and there were older drawings of me..." Sighing now I started to cry. "I drew those when I was only thirteen. In that time my father, Ivan told me that he had chose you for my mate."

The night that my father came to me and said that he had chosen Gabe to my alpha, I was devastated. I was only a child then; all I cared about was having fun and hanging around Axe and the rest of his gang. The Five, and which only has four now since Rafe had gotten killed just a few nights ago.

"Let's just say that I did fantasize about you Gabe. After you left, after Axel had gotten in trouble with the authorities." Quickly I changed the subject, "I better get downstairs. Before Esme comes back and starts on her yelling again. I have school, they're probably wondering if I'm alive or dead."

"Do you want me to take you?" He asked.

"I would like that, I'll walk a block and you can meet me near the alley way." I said while placing a kiss on Gabriel's cheek, "I see you in a bit, knowing Esme; she'll want to talk to me before I leave."

Gabe nodded in response and I headed downstairs to the kitchen.

Taking a deep breath before I took a right turn to the kitchen doors, I could hear Esme talk on the other side.

"We need to leave this place soon. That meat boy that Vivian hung onto must be telling our family secret. Ivan wouldn't stand for this trouble, I can't stand it." Esme seemed worried for once, and I was curious to as why.

Walking in there stood my mother dumbfounded as to what was in front of her. "Vive baby, are you alright?" She walked up to me looking over my statue of a stare. I couldn't speak. Rudy sipped his coffee for a moment. "Esme, come on. Give the girl some room will yea? She's been to hell and back." Esme looked at uncle Rudy. "I know, but there is something different about Vivian. And I can't place my finger on it."

She didn't have any idea what I was thinking. First, I know that Esme had something to do with Axel being on patrol. Or she might as well have told him about my ordeal with a silver bullet going through my chest.

Finally I felt air come up to my lungs giving me some sort of voice. "When is Axel coming by?" I asked with a sneer. "And why is he on early patrol?"

Esme looked at me, surprised at me having any sort of notion about Axel's return. "How-"I held my hand up. Not wanting her to ask me any questions. My answers come first. "The direct attorney's office didn't have much evidence to hold Axe, so Mick talked to some people and now, Axel's on patrol. But, he can easily go back if Axe decided to do anything more stupid then he already done."

I laughed. "I know exactly how he'd got out." I pointed my finger at her, "You had something do with this didn't you mom?" I said my eyes searing with anguish.

My mother is the kind of person to where anyone would do anything to get into her pants. Mick which by the way, with just looking at him I he discussed me. God knows, Esme may flaw herself to the county judge. She can be an embarrassment to the world if it came down to it. She sure was to me.

Rudy just looked at us both, astonished with my know how of such facts, "Vivian, you shouldn't be talking to your mother like that."

"Like hell I shouldn't. I'm leaving, and if Axel comes here. He better be prepared, I might just challenge him." Esme looked at me, "I did it for you Vivian." I turned around. "Are you sure about that? Because last I checked you knew that I had an interest in Gabe when I was just a pup. But, when daddy died you didn't even take the chance to morn for his lost. Instead you climbed into Gabe's arms giving him everything you had. Which by the way, makes me sick, you're half his age."

The screen door slammed in Esme's face. Throughout my entire life, I've only had one love in my life. Or almost; Axel, I would have chosen him but only if he hadn't killed that girl. Every time I think of his mistakes I just want to punch something. He made a huge mistake. But, I have something better, something worth living for.

I heard a motorcycle turn the corner and there was Gabe in his leather jacket and boots. "Well hello wolf man. Is there any reason why you're coming towards an alleyway like this?" I smiled.

"I'm actually looking for a girl. She has blonde hair, green eyes, and about five-four in height. Have you seen her?" Gabe smirked, his voice warm. Walking in sway like stance. I gave him a mystical glance.

Once I reached him I put my arms around his waist, there was that feeling again, safe, trust. Then I felt anger tears started coming. "What wrong Viv?" Gabriel asked.

"Esme, she slept with the county judge to get Axe out of jail earlier than planned. She says she did it for me."

Gabriel laughed. I looked up at him my fist in his forearm. "This isn't a joke Gabe. Maybe, we need to tell everyone about us. So Esme will get off my ass and leave me alone."

Gritting his teeth he now, "I'm going to set Axe straight. He is sentenced to go down the trail of the moon."

I took a deep breath and then in the corner of my eye I'd seen a pendant necklace shaped as a half christened moon. Gabriel swiftly put it around my neck, "It's not sliver, its pure iron. I know you liked this sort of pendant so I bought one for you." Gabe fastened the necklace and placed a kiss on my collar bone. "Let's go I'm going to be late as it is." I turned around and went to the bike. Gabe handed me a helmet and climbed onto the bike and started the engine. I just looked at him, turned on just by looking at him.

"Are you coming princess?" he asked a smirk on the edge of his lips. "Yeah, I'm coming." Quickly the bike mounted I climbed onto the bike taking the place behind Gabe. My arms secured around him, I enjoyed the ride to school.

I'm still in shock with my decision. I, Vivian Gandillon am a loyal and trusted mate to the sexiest person in the pack. I mean, don't give me wrong there are others that are probably in the same stance as Gabriel. Even though he'd said that I was the one for him. I still can't trust any other slut that would take a chance and take Gabriel from under my feet. It's only been a few hours and I'm already falling in love with this man. Is that even possible? I think so.

Faintly I could feel Gabe squeeze my hand that relaxed on his abdomen. My other on his thigh, I wanted to drive him crazy.

Then he yelled as the engine roared. "Would you like to go out tonight?" It took a moment for me to understand. But then I processed the question. I replied into his ear, "I would love too." I said sweetly. Gabe smiled as if he was scared that I'd put down the offer. A few moments later he reached the entrance of school building. There were a few students going in, some were still sitting on the benches finishing their homework. All eyes zeroed on me, was it because I just climbed off of a Harley Davidson motorcycle? Is it possible that they were thinking of the weirdo taking chances with to coming back? I wouldn't know. And, in truth I don't really care.

I softly gave Gabe a kiss on the cheek and started to walk off but Gabe didn't let go and swirled me around so I would face him again. "What are you doing Gabe? I have to go." I giggled. "That's not a goodbye kiss." He said flatly, Gabe then put his index finger on my chin and looked into my eyes. Moving in closer finally I shut my eyes while Gabe leaned in.

This kiss was sweet and wanting. Gabe placed his lips on mine for a moment. Then he placed his arm on the small of my back making me lean and losing my balance. Biting my lower lip now, I let Gabe have entrance, giving the taste of blood with the texture of him. Kissing him back now, he let me explore the entire conjure of him, if I wasn't on city property I would take Gabe in the woods and show him what sort of woman I really was. The Loups-garoux wanted to come out just by the taste of blood. With a quick movement I pushed Gabe away leaving us both breathless I could see the teeth marks on Gabe's top lip. Gabe smirked with satisfaction. "Now, that's a goodbye kiss." He gave me a softer kiss before saying, "I will see you this afternoon." I nodded a little flushed in the cheeks.

Walking to class seems to go on forever but I kept at a faster pace. Not realizing where I was going I bumped into another student. Making drop my books and my drawings, I can see how my day is going to go.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying any attention as to where I was walking." I quickly grabbed my things and held on to them. Looking up there stood Kelly. Aiden's on and off girlfriend. She's probably pissed as hell for me finding the cigarettes and whiskey in her room.

"I can't believe it, it's the freaky witch girl with the famous pendant markings." Kelly sneered. I smirked, my lip swollen from just moments before.

My temper in check at commented. "How are things back at home Kelly? I assume that they're not going so well." I said pouting my lip which stung. I waited and swayed my head to the side.

"It's none of your damn business Vivian. I see that you've survived though. Aiden mentioned that something happened the other night. If I were him, I would have let you lay there and die." I balled my fist into a ball. "Go to hell"

"What did you just say?" Kelly glared waiting for the right moment to hit me. I muffled a giggle, "I said, go to fucking hell." Right then, she lunged for me slapping me in the face first. "Bitch, get off of me!" I yell. My fist made contact with her jaw. Kelly started to cover her face with her hands giving me the advantage; I kicked her in the stomach, breaking a few ribs in the process. But before I could do anymore damage to this girl I felt hands restrain me. I growled.

"Let go of me!" I started to resist, wanting to kill this bitch. "Vivian calm down. If you don't, then you may as well be expelled. Do you want that and through away your art scholarship?" William said calmly.

Refocusing my vision I relaxed and seen Kelly on the flooring balling and in the fetal position. In that moment I knew that I need to get out of here and fast, my anger seemed to still be flaring. "William what are you doing here? I thought you were going to help Ulf pack to move in with Gabriel?"

"I was until Gabe come by and asked me to come to check on you. He said you seemed a little off. And, I can see why." He said while helping Kelly. She rejected his offer, "Get off of me you idiot. I can take care of myself." William laughed, "Kelly, you can't even stand up. You need medical assistance. Vivian has seemed to have busted you up pretty bad. It's possible that a few of your ribs are broken."

"Did you bring the car or your bike?" I asked Will. "Yeah, but how are we going to take Kelly to the hospital without anyone knowing?"

"We're not taking her to the hospital we're talking her to the Inn. I want to make sure that Aiden hasn't said anything to her."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded while putting my hair in a sloppy pony tail. Helping Will with Kelly, she cringed in pain. "Someone help me! I'm begging kidnapped!" Kelly yelled.

"Shut up Kelly. We're just trying to help you; I'm not as mean as you think I am."
