Authors' note- I am writing this story for Gabriel's point of view and I will be going through the book, to try and explore what went on to make Gabriel want Vivian. I don't know if I will just go through the book or continue on it will depend on the interest. Please read and review let me know if I should finish this story.

MAY GHOST MOON

Bucky and I were on our way back from a run when we smelled the smoke. I ran as fast as I could and was shocked when I saw everyone running from the Inn and flames coming from the windows. I changed back to my human form at the woods and put my pants back on. I saw my mom with the triplets; she was trying to keep them all with her but Jessica wanted to go back in for something she had left behind. I took off to stop her when Vivian stepped up and grabbed my kicking and screaming sister. She yelled at my mom to bring Amanda and Rebecca and follow her; she put Jess in a car and made Mandy get in along with my mom. They looked for Becky but she was on a dash to the Inn, but Vivian was way too fast and grabbed her throwing her in the car with Renata, Magda, and Astrid.

"Get going now."

She went back towards the Inn just as Ivan came out helping Rolf thru the door. He spotted Vivian and went up to her engulfing her in a hug. I walked over to see what I could do and by that time Bucky had caught up to me.

"What can we do Ivan?"

"Gabriel oh good, we need to make another sweep of the Inn, we have to make sure everyone is out."

"Daddy no you can't."

"Vivian the pack needs help."

She nodded "Ok but be careful and hurry"

With that the three of us went running into the unstable Inn.

"Bucky, Gabe you guys take the second floor I will take the third. Make it quick and be careful."

Bucky and I found Jenny Garnier and her baby next to the body of her husband, who had a beam fall on his neck killing him; I grabbed the baby and had Bucky drag Jenny out of there. We had just made it to the back door when I heard another beam break. I pushed Jenny and Bucky out the door trying to get them as far away as possible before it gave way. We just made it to the front of the house and I saw Vivian spot us; I felt horrible when I saw the relief on her face turn to fear. I handed Jenny the baby back so I could go back to get Ivan when I heard the main support beam give way taking anyone left inside to their graves. I looked to Vivian who realized what had happened.

"DADDY!"

She took off toward the Inn, I thought Esme could stop her but she barely slowed her down. I ran to her grabbing her around the waist, man she is a lot stronger than I thought. I pulled her back and she slapped me

"Let me go, I have to get to my dad"

"No I can't let you go in there, Ivan wouldn't have wanted you too." With that she looked at me and collapsed; crying. I held onto Vivian while she sobbed.

"How could this happen? So many of the pack gone and my dad…my dad is" she never finished but I knew what she was saying.

After a few minutes she calmed down.

"Mom?" she found her lying on the ground balling "Mom, let's go. We have to get the rest of the pack out of here."

She led her mom to a car with Odessa, Jenny and Minerva. I watched as she looked for more of the females and kids spotting one she walked to Sybil and told her to get in the car. She was double checking when the five came up to her.

"We are sorry about your dad Vivian but don't worry we will get revenge." Rafe proclaimed

I started walking towards them when I saw her punch him in the nose making it bleed.

"You guys are crazy; and this is your fault. If you wouldn't have killed that girl no one would have suspected anything."

I stepped in before anything else could be said.

"Let's go boys get in your wolf pelt we need to catch up with the rest of the cars."

"Fuck you we aren't going anywhere and we certainly won't run the whole way." Rafe turned his rage on me.

I threw him to the ground and grabbed William throwing him into Finn. When Ulf ran at me I threw him into Gregory. After a few minutes they were beaten and bloody and I was untouched.

"Wolf skin now and If you step more than three feet away from the convoy, you will be getting a close up of my teeth."

I ran next to the final car which held Vivian. I watched as she turned to the window hoping no one would see and she cried. I thought back over the events, she showed she was a leader through and through; she wanted to help everyone before herself, she made sure as many people were as safe as possible and she could also command attention. I knew in time there would be an Ordeal to find who the new pack leader would be, which I planned on being, and knew who I wanted as my queen.

We had just gotten to the final fill up point and I watched as Vivian check on all the cars and their occupants. She walked over to me then.

"Gabriel, I could really use a run, can I please go the rest of the way with you?"

I changed enough to talk "Yeah, but you have to stay with me and go tell Rolf to pick us up at the edge of town."

A minute later she came back to the woods and changed into her wolf form. She was a beautiful pure white wolf which was a complete contradiction to my jet black wolf. She walked like a queen even in the aftermath of tragedy.

We stayed with the group for a while but then she began picking up speed, I was able to stay close to her and finally caught up with her when she stopped and had went back to her human form and was crying. I went over to her and wrapped her in a hug and let her cry it out.

"I'm sorry Gabriel; I just seem to keep crying all over you."

"It's ok; it has been a hard 24hours." I just didn't know what to say.

Just then the convoy came up to us and we got dressed. We arrived at Rudy's and we all filled his house.

I was able to get a welding job within a couple days and began giving money to the families first to help them get on their feet. The downfall of this plan was I didn't always have a way to clean up and would smell like it. There were times I spent the night in the woods as a wolf to be alone, not to mention I hate relying on other people for things.

Tonight I was going to eat at Rudy's and crash on his couch. I haven't gotten to see Vivian much in the past few months and have regretted it. I knocked on the door and was rewarded when Vivian answered the door. She was wearing jeans filled with holes and a tight t-shirt and she had paint on her face. I couldn't help but smile.

"Hi Vivian, looks like you are having fun."

I got a small smile "Yeah I am working on a mural in my room. Dinner isn't ready so if you want go ahead and shower before Esme takes over the bathroom."

"Thank Vivian."

I had just stepped inside when the five came bursting in.

As always Rafe gabbed Vivian's ass and I just wanted to hit him but Vivian did that. I heard the smack and turned to try and not laugh.

"Vivian, you know you will have to choose a mate soon, you won't be miss high and mighty princess wolf much longer and then we will have what we want." Rafe turned and stormed out the door.

I went and took a quick shower and when I finished I heard Vivian banging around her room. I walked to the door in time to hear her mumbling about the five.

"Stupid little pups think they can tell me what to do and who I will mate. No way, I choose my own destiny."

"Problems with the pups huh?" She shrieked and jumped accidently throwing paint on me.

"Oh Gabriel…I am so sorry." Then she started to laugh; I was so happy to see her laughing I would have dumped a gallon of paint on myself to keep that laugh up.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you Viv."

She ran and got a towel and began wiping the paint off me. She looked into my eyes and before I knew what I was doing our lips met in a very innocent kiss. We separated before coming back together again with more passion than the last time. Our moment was interrupted by Esme coming home and calling to Vivian. I went down to dinner thrilled with how this evening was turning out. Little did I know how wrong this evening would end and just how much would change for Vivian and me.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I always thought there had to be something more to why Vivian hated him so much so I am putting my own thoughts into an amazing book. Please read and review!
