Chapter 60
Before going out to fetch a drink, I spend some more time meeting new folks. I take a cup and proceed to the large table that is pressed up against the wall. Before they come into contact with hazel eyes, my eyes quickly scan the chocolate and snack items. Before putting his hands inside his pockets and moving toward me, the man on the balcony smirks. One more, please? I nod and sigh as I sip from my cup. The lads at school don't really hesitate to attempt to woo a female, so I'll definitely be familiar with this pickup line as well. It would be wonderful if you didn't suffocate me every time you passed by since I cherish my breath. Seriously?''
He shakes his head at me while leaning back on the table. Did you really attempt to phrase it poetically when you said, "If kisses were snowflakes, I'd send you a blizzard"? '' He gives me a wink and shrugs one shoulder, then approaches me and bends down, making me uneasy. How did a cute little creature like you get here if you're not a werewolf? I'm ready to respond when a recognizable voice interrupts me. Charlie, leave her alone.
As I turn my head towards the other side, I notice Gabriel's enraged body staring at the man who is now tall and sporting a frown on his lips with obsidian eyes. What could a person possibly desire from you? You still need more prostitutes, cousin? Charlie grumbles. I quickly rush to Gabriel's side and stroke his back trying to calm him down after realizing that everyone is looking at us. It also works! I look up at him with a smile as I observe him inhale deeply, causing his eyes to return to the comforting shade of green that I like. As he turns to face the man who is looking at us in disbelief before turning angry, his hand holds my waist. She's really yours?
"She is. And I'll crush your goddamn bones if I catch you speaking to her once more. He growls at Charlie while his body trembles. Alpha Nicholas murmurs something into Gabriel's ear, stopping Charlie in his tracks as he prepares to answer. Gabriel nods and pulls me away. Charlie's comment that "Gabriel's prostitutes" are "not enough" makes me grimace. How many partners did he have just before I came along? When I compare my dating life to his, which is practically nonexistent, my mood plummets. Meet the elders, Amanda. Gabriel gives my waist a squeeze, jolting me back to consciousness.
''Hello. I mumble as I shake each person's hand, "Nice to meet you. There are a total of twelve persons, five of whom are female. But they're all breathtakingly beautiful. A man shakes my hand while holding a champagne glass in his other hand. He has silver hair and eyes that are ocean blue. So, according to Nicholas, you're the coolest person on the planet? I flush and nod in agreement. I apologize, I guess I took too much sweets. The group chuckles, but they are still watching me with wary eyes. While I glance about, Gabriel, Ryan, and Chris talk to them.
I fix my attention on a furious blonde who is looking daggers at me with her ice blue eyes. I give her a perplexed glance out of confusion before returning to Gabriel. Everyone in the room starts to grin and grasp their partners before falling to the floor as soothing music suddenly starts to play through the room's speakers. I giggle as Kelvin embraces a confused female and winks at me, Dag slaps behind his head as he encircles a redhead who is his cousin, and Linda grabs Chris and marches out. Since this is a werewolf celebration, Dag and Daisy's mates, who are vampires, are exempt from going.
I stand there grinning as Daisy pushes her buddy away and scowls up at him while the seniors say farewell and scatter in various ways. She probably won't dance like she usually does. A woman's night is obviously planned for the future, other than when she goes partying. Do you want to dance? I look up at Gabriel startled as he whispers into my ear out of the blue. You and dancing, right? Before dragging me onto the dance floor, he rolls his eyes. He puts his hands on my waist as I smile and around his neck. Couples dance all around us as we sway to the music and tease one another. He grabs hold of my hand and spins me around.
His hands go down my body as he draws me closer while giggling at my smile. I turn to see Chris laughing as Linda lightly slaps his face as he stares at Gabriel's hands then points. But as she passes me and glares again, I also see the gorgeous blonde. I sigh and turn back to face him, "Gabriel." "Who is that blonde?" For no apparent reason, she keeps giving me furious stares. He stares in the direction I'm pointing, and his eyes get completely black. I watch as she reveals far more cleavage than is required while smiling seductively.
He moans and encircles me more tightly. "She's not a big deal. " "Were you both dating once? " She was convinced we were something more for a little period of time, though. Amanda, I have no attachment to her. He kisses my forehead and mutters, "You're the only female I want. I nod and nervously give him a grin. Simply put, Charlie remarked, "Charlie's an idiot!" Lowly growling, his enraged eyes flare. What the heck were you doing close to him in the first place? "He approached me on foot! I just needed a drink. ''
I shake my head and smile, "Oh, that? You seemed like you were loving his company a bit too much!" I met him just at balcony before I descended, and ever since then, he's been attempting the silliest pick-up lines! '' I grit my teeth as his fingers press towards my waist. You're hurting me, Gabriel.
"You're mine!"
"Ofcourse I am." I softly retort, toying with the hair on his neck's back. "Please just calm down."
