Well here is chapter twenty-nine!
29
Gabriel looked at her with a confused expression. He opened his mouth to ask her what she meant when a knock on the front door echoed ominously through the dining room.
Everyone turned to stare off at the front of the inn.
"Gabriel, I think we need to go out there by ourselves," she whispered.
She stood up in a fluid movement. She grabbed his hand and almost ran out of the room. She stopped in front of the entrance. She turned to stare at Gabriel. He was just looking at her confusion running through his face.
"Who is it Vivian?"
She looked away, "Aiden."
She could feel him tense. He had told her that Aiden had called him. So she sort of owed her life to him. She didn't like to be in debt to him. His dad had tried to kill her. And if you really thought about it his dad did kill her. She shuddered as she remembered that night.
She took a deep breath and opened the door.
Aiden looked a lot braver than he smelled. She could almost see the fear rolling off of him.
"Vivian."
Gabriel growled as Aiden spoke.
Fear flashed across his face.
"I helped you! You can't blame this on me!"
Vivian closed the door. She didn't want the pack to hear to much of this conversation.
"Can we go somewhere where the pack isn't assembled?" she asked.
Aiden looked scared now. His eyes glanced to the windows. She could almost see his thoughts.
Gabriel growled under his breath and grabbed Vivian's arm. He towed her towards their cabin. Aiden followed at a safe pace behind them.
When they got to the porch Gabriel turned on Aiden.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm here to find out about my dad?"
Vivian had to hold Gabriel back. She saw his teeth grow feral and felt his strength start to over power her.
"Stop!" she shouted in his ear.
He instantly pulled away. He was giving Aiden a fury filled glare.
"What happened?" Aiden asked a little over a whisper.
Vivian looked at him. He met her eyes she looked away.
She lifted her shirt.
Aiden gasped at the sight. Vivian glanced down. The place where the bullet had entered her abdomen was now healed over. But the surrounding area had purple and green veins branching out from the scar.
Her back had the same scar.
Gabriel shoved her shirt down. He didn't like seeing the scar.
"I'm so sorry Vivian. I didn't know that he was going to do that."
"How did he even find out about us?" Gabriel snapped.
Aiden looked slightly taken aback. "I don't know."
"Well you're the only one who knew about us so I'm going to take a wild guess and say that he found out from you," Gabriel snarled in one breath.
"It wasn't him," she burst out. They both turned to stare at her.
"What are you talking about Viv, he's the only one who knew about us!"
She remembered the night she found about being pregnant with Kole. She didn't know why she was remembering that night but she felt like it was right.
Her eyes glazed over and Gabriel grabbed her before she fell over.
"What's happening!"
Gabriel growled at him.
She was seeing that night vividly but not from her perspective. She was staring out a window overlooking the woods. She heard a door slam and looked at the grounds.
She was shocked. She was staring at herself. She heard a muffled shout. Then her eyes widened. She watched herself running and change to wolf form mid-leap. Then she disappeared into the woods.
Vivian felt herself slipping back to reality. She tried to pull herself back into the vision. She turned her head and caught a glimpse of a man.
A snarl left her lips and she was back on the porch.
"Vivian what did you see?" Gabriel asked urgently.
"It was my fault."
Gabriel's warm hands wrapped around her, he pulled her to her feet.
"Aiden get out of here. Please don't come back," she whispered.
"But what about my dad?"
She was getting angry but she wasn't sure who the anger was about.
"I think its best if you don't bother our pack again."
"I just need to know about my dad!" Aiden almost shouted.
Vivian ripped away from Gabriel's grasp and was two inches away from Aiden's face.
"Your dad killed me Aiden! He tried to kill Gabriel! He killed all of those people in Pennsylvania!"
Aiden's face went through several shades before it went white.
"He couldn't have."
"Well he did Aiden. I know that you didn't tell him okay. I believe you, but if you don't leave my pack alone I'm going to make you and you might not leave with all of you limbs!" Her teeth were bared and Aiden's eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of his head. He backed away from her as Gabriel grabbed her arms.
He whispered in her ear, "If I don't get to rip him apart neither do you."
She growled at him.
"Fine, I'll leave but what about the cops!"
"That's not our problem," Vivian said through gritted teeth.
"You were the last ones to see him, you know where he is!"
She tried to launch herself at him. Gabriel wouldn't let her go so she threw every curse word she knew at him.
"Calm down love."
"Aiden get out of here before you lose an arm," she snarled at him.
Aiden looked at her once more and then inched his way closer to the stairs.
"Will you answer one question before I leave Vivian?"
"What!" she snapped.
"You said he killed you, but your alive."
"That's a statement not a question," she was seeing through a film of red.
"What did you mean?"
"Exactly what I said, he did kill me."
"But you're alive."
"Well now you have something to think about," she spat at him. She wrenched herself out of Gabriel's grasp and went inside the cabin. She slammed the door.
She went and sat on the couch, fuming.
The minutes ticked by. She put her head in her hands.
He said he loved me once. But all he cares about is finding his murderer father. Why do I even care? I don't have feelings for him, I know that. But the fact that he cares more about his vile father than me. She let her anger blow out in an angered scream.
Gabriel was through the door before she was finished. His arms wrapped around her.
"Are you okay?"
"No."
He kissed the top of her head.
"Why did I ever even meet Aiden?"
He pulled her closer, "I've told you. It's the power we feel over them."
"I know that Gabriel. But if I hadn't ever met him…."
"I might still be chasing you," he said. A hint of gloom floated in his velvet voice.
She smiled at him, "No I think you would have eventually caught me."
He pulled her yet again closer, "Maybe."
She tried not to let the hurt of that word show on her face. She couldn't even think of her life without him anymore. A few years ago though, she couldn't see herself with him at all.
She remembered that day in the kitchen, when he first kissed her. She remembered the anger she had towards him. Now when he did that she didn't want him to break away.
She wondered if this was how life had been for Persia, the constant flashbacks. Or if it was something Persia had never had to deal with.
Gabriel broke through her thoughts. His lips crushed hers. She smiled, all the thoughts flew straight out of her mind.
