Gabriel came back at five and helped her load her thing onto the back of his black Ducati before driving her off to his house, they weren't going to unpack her things because they were moving to Vermont in a couple of days. They chose the perfect area to start a new business and the land was surrounded by forest.
Vivian and Gabriel sat together discussing the plans of the future and how everything would be for them in Vermont. She knew they would be happy she could feel it in her bones. She smiled as he held her close on the couch in his living room. It would turn into love, soon, right now it was contentment and the beginnings of lasting relationship, and Vivian was happy, for once in a year she really was truly happy. Even with Aiden she didn't feel this way, then again with Aiden she couldn't truly be herself. Everything in her relationship with Aiden was a fallacy, the love, the kisses, everything. There was nothing in that relationship worth holding onto, Vivian didn't know how she could have been stupid enough to believe that it could have worked out in the first place.
Life would be better for her from now on. "Thank you so much Gabe, for everything that you've done for me. For helping me with Rafe and Astrid, and for helping me with Aiden, I know there's nothing I can do to repay you for everything. Thank you most especially for caring about me and loving me." She whispered into his neck.
"Darling Viv you've already repaid me by having me, for that I need to thank you." He kissed her lightly on the lips. He nuzzled like a puppy in her tawny locks and took a big breath of his scent mixed with hers.
They walked to the bedroom for a nap before their planned run that night, the last run they'd ever have in this city, everyone in the pack had already turned in their resignations. Everybody was so ready to leave this place already, too much shit had happened here in the past week and the memories would last forever, but they didn't have to stay in the place that it happened.
Rafe's father was still a little shaken over the death of his son and what his son had done to cause that death, though he may seem nonchalant about what happens most of the time and he wasn't always the best of people in the pack didn't mean that he condoned behavior that endangered them all, and he definitely didn't approve of framing and possibly killing one of their own when there were so few of them left anymore. His offspring had dishonored him and all of them and he knew that he would have to get over it eventually.
When Vivian woke up Gabriel was in the bathroom getting ready, she caught a glimpse of him through the doorway and was still shaken as ever with his animalistic beauty, she didn't think that she'd ever get used to it. She sighed aloud and got up out of the bed and proceeded to wriggle out of her clothes to stand in front of the window ready to leap and change when he was…..
