WE ARE NOT LIKE OTHER WOLVES

CHAPTER 52: WE ARE NOT LIKE OTHER WOLVES
~ Gabriel’s POV ~

Harper lifted off me and leaned down to give me a light kiss.
“What the fuck was that?” I ask Harper. She gave me a look.
“Why are you asking me, I have never done that before. Was it not normal?” Our wolves have pulled back, and our bodies are now normal. The marks from our claws were already healed.
“Hell no, it wasn’t normal.” She looked hurt. “No. No, baby. It's not like that.” I told harper.
“I’ll get better.” She said to me.
“Harper that was the best sex that I have ever had in my entire life!” Her eyes lit up.
“Really?” she asked me nervously.
“Hell, yeah! What happened to my little aggressive wolf from a second ago?” I teased her. She blushed and looked away. “Really, you are so damn hot.” She giggled. “Did I hurt you?” I asked her.
“No, it all felt...so good.” She said back to me. Just good? I’ll have to work on that.
“You're losing your edge Gabe.” Mika laughed in my head.
“Mika, I thought you were asleep. Maybe you should consider the fact that you were part of it for the first time ever. Maybe it was your fault.” He didn’t reply to my comment. “Yeah, don’t have anything smart to say back now do you pup?” I laughed at him. He walked into the back of my head to think about what I said.
“I think I may have an idea as to why our s*x was so aggressive and different.” She has my attention now.
“What could it be other than I met my soulmate who can match my aggressiveness in bed?” I asked her back.
“It was so different because we are not the same as other wolves.” I looked at her.
“What do you mean not the same? I know you have something going on from the Goddess.” I said to her, I wasn’t expecting what she told me next.


~ Unknown’s POV ~

“So, the girl managed to escape Thane.” I said to the person on the other line. “That’s no surprise. She became strong once she ascended on her 18th birthday. Her mate also grew stronger in that instant. When they mate, their power will become incredible. The power within them will continue to grow and develop as time goes on. There may be no limit to the power that they were gifted. The Gods know what we are doing here. I am not worried though. Hades, our God of the underworld will guide us. When this world has to bow to us, Hades will grow stronger. Fear, death, torture, and suffering will feed his strength. He will no longer be bound to the underworld. The other Gods will have no power over him. Together, it would be a battle to kill them.” My voice reflects how serious I am. This situation is more than just a wolf fight. The Gods are involved.
“Our plan is sound. The girl will be captured and separated from her mate. She shouldn’t suspect anything, an injection of wolfsbane and silver should do the trick. With her wolf suppressed she shouldn’t be able to use any of her supernatural powers, nor change into her wolf. Are you still intending to make good on your promise?” He asked me with a questioning tone. He was confident in his plan.
“I plan to stand by my promise. Mutual trust and respect is needed to ensure that we work well together. This plan will need more than just myself to succeed. I need a second in command. I trust you, and to prove that you can trust me, the girl will be yours as promised.” I intend to stand by my word.
“What if he has already marked her?” He asked me.
“We will cross that bridge when and if we get there. It is extremely hellish to reverse the mating mark and bond. However, it is not impossible.” He sighs with relief. “Now, set your plan in motion. Keep me updated on everything.”
“The process has begun. The plan will be set in motion soon.” Good. I say to myself. I hung up the phone. This process will be grueling no doubt, but it will be worth it in the end. All the power will be mine. With the girl at his side, I will be unstoppable.

~ Gabriel’s POV ~
What Harper told me was unbelievable. The moon goddess told her about new powers, the real history of the stone, how she visited Harper as a newborn. She told Harper that she was a new breed of wolf, a Lycan Queen. I have no idea what all that means. She also told Harper that her mate's wolf would also become a Lycan. Would that make me a Lycan King? Mika went silent after I mated Harper and we marked each other. I was joking with him when I said it was his fault that Harper's first experience in bed with us was only “good” as Harper put it. He hasn’t spoken for two days. Harper says Mia has been silent as well. I am not going to mention this information to any of the other pack members until I have more information. Speaking of two days, Harper and I haven’t been intimate since that night. Things have been crazy around here. Mother insisted on making me official Alfa the day after Harper’s birthday. Harper also became the official Luna. That and other things have kept us busy, we don’t see each other much right now. To say it is driving me crazy is an understatement. If Mika were with me right now, I would have taken her in the dining hall this morning. My craving to feel her is strong by itself, Mika would be uncontrollable. My mind went back to that night. Everything was perfect, her body, her scent, her confidence, strength, sexiness, and the way she moved. I can’t get the images out of my head. My dick throbs in my pants every time I think about her.
I have to try to get some work done.

I decided to call that jackass Chad and set up a meeting with him. He called and left a message days ago and provided his number so I could call him back. I picked up the phone, it rang only once before he answered.
“Gabriel, you finally decided to contact me back.” I roll my eyes.
“I have been busy.” I replied.
“I have heard, how did you manage to get yourself kidnapped?” This asshole!
“I didn’t call to just have a casual conversation with you, Chad. We need to talk about business. I was hoping we could meet at a neutral location to discuss our relations and how to proceed together in this war.” He sighed.
“It’s always all business with you. Yes, I can manage that. I’ll have my beta set it up. We will be in contact with you.”
“Chad… I advise you not to try anything during our meeting. This war is coming, and it is important that all packs work together to defeat the enemy.”
“Gabriel don’t worry I am not going to attack you or any of your people during the meeting. I am desperate to see that mate of yours again. Is she going to be there?” He said, I growled at him. He chuckled at me as if that is the response he wanted.
“Shut the fuck up, Chad! Have your beta contact me with a time and place. My security detail will make sure the location is secure before me and my Luna meet you.” Harper has to be there if we are to sign an ally contract. Though, I wish there was a way around it. I don’t want Harper anywhere near Chad.
“Mumm… you can plan on it.”

I hung up and stood from my chair behind my desk. I hate that guy. Something about him is just off. My instinct is screaming at me not to trust him. I write it off as me being paranoid, just because of the history that I have had with Chad.
It’s mid evening and the sun will start setting soon. I want to spend some time with Harper. I mind link her.
“Hey baby, are you still busy?”
“Hey handsome, actually I am finishing up now. I have finally caught up with all this work that needed to be finished. The transition of power from Luna Mae to me was a little complicated at first, but I am getting the hang of it. I just need to make sure to delegate enough funds to supply the kitchen staff for the coming month.” I smile, she is a natural at this. A true Luna, my mate.
“Let’s spend some time together. We will do anything you want.”
“I want out of this packhouse for a while. I would love to go outside the border, but I know that Thane is after me. I am not afraid of him, but I am afraid of what he could do to the ones that I love.” She admits to me. She is so selfless.
“According to my intel, Thane lost a lot of members during our pack’s attack. He is trying to regain his numbers. I don’t think he will be a threat for a while. I think we could go out if you want.”
“Really?! Ok, we can discuss it when I get finished here. It will only be another five or ten minutes.”
“Ok, baby. That sounds good, I’ll meet you at the main entrance.” She cut the mind link and I started putting away all my paperwork. My eyes wander to the picture I have on my wall. It’s a memorial of my father. I miss him. We couldn’t retrieve his remains and that thought kills me. I told Harper about my father right before the Alpha ceremony. She cried and blamed herself. I told her it is no one’s fault other than Thane’s. Harper’s heart is so big, she wants to carry everyone’s sorrows, faults, and worries on her shoulders. She is an extremely strong woman, but that will eventually break her. I make my way to the entrance of the packhouse and wait for harper.
