Chapter 63

"Ese hijo de puta!" He says fiercely, bringing me up against him, placing his chin on top of mine, then giggling faintly. "You are such a dupe, Amanda. You're going to be OK; nothing bad will happen to you. I swear. " (That motherfucker.) I glance up at him and murmur, "Wait, what?" My lower back is massaged by his palm as he shakes his head. "Chris and Kelvin made up that story." Those jerks need to hear from me. " "They did what?" I scream, my eyes wide as I look at him. "I'm going to ruin their lives, first by throwing paint bombs into their lockers, and then-"
"Not likely to occur." I received an email claiming that the principal was suspicious of your participation in a hoax today. " I'm taken aback by his look. "I was not involved in it at all," I lied, with my fingers together. He yanks my hand out from behind and gives me a bored look, which causes me to flush in shame. "Yes, darling. Anything you say? " "Why would he still call you?" My guardians are Elizabeth and William. " I scowl and get off his lap. He growls, clearly not enjoying the space I've created between us. "Whatever problems you have will be handled by me. I had it modified." More importantly, the Valentine's will handle the legal job."
You were not entitled! I stammer and look at him in disbelief. "If something happens to you, Amanda, I want to be there right away." I don't care if you blame it all on my tendency to be guarded. " He gives me a tired hand-over-face gesture before giving me a frantic look, though I don't believe he is aware of it. Just come here, please. I scowl at the abrupt drop in his attitude as I stealthily approach him. As soon as he takes me into his arms and places me on his lap such that I'm sitting sideways, he lets out a relieved sigh. He murmurs a brief "thank you," kisses my temple, and then carries on working by printing documents and responding to emails. On occasion, he may give me a consoling forehead kiss and begin to stroke my arm. I'm about to fall asleep after an hour of silence when someone twists the doorknob loudly. I turn around to find that he has now shut off his computer and is reclining in his chair. Ryan groans when he sees me drowsily glancing around and apologizes, to which I simply respond with a comforting grin. Gabriel, everything is now ready. The council members and the automobile are waiting for you. When you're ready, descend.
I glance at Gabriel in confusion as he departs. "What the hell is he talking about?" He takes me up and sets me down on the desk after he sighs. It's fortunate that you arrived home early. I must meet with the council members, according to the royal court. I'll be away for a couple or three days. He sighs and pecks my lips as I pout. "Valeria, Paloma, as well as several guards will be present both inside and outside the home." Don't chat with any male guard, attend school, and then come home right away. Also, please try not to become agitated again.
I sigh and roll my eyes. He observes and gives me a knowing look before I cave in and say I'll follow his instructions. I get up from the desk as he takes up a sizable, black duffel bag from the sofa next to his bookcase. "Come on, now. The Moon Goddess is aware of how much I will miss your beautiful kisses. He complains, sounding irate that he's going to He takes me by my arm and gives me a long, passionate kiss while he waits eagerly, and I laugh. He leaves all too quickly, which causes me to sigh with desire and regret. I sulk at him after hearing a horn downstairs. He should stay, not go.
Gabriel and I argue as we go down the stairs because he is constantly adding new regulations. When he steers at me, I finally shove him out the door while grinning. He briefly converses with the security personnel before sending his siblings and me a harsh look. I leaned over to Paloma and Valeria once he was in the car. "Pack meeting, everyone had to go, and we decided to be the kind people that we are and remain with you after," one person said. "So, what else are you guys going to be doing at home so early?" With a sneer on her lips, Valeria responds in a whisper.
I giggle as I roll my eyes as I watch the black vehicle go. I lingered there for some time, gazing at the now-small automobile moving away. Am I foolish to say that I already miss him? I look around and sigh when I see two crazed grins. I rush inside, greeting them with one of mine as Paloma and Valeria follow. The entire home is all ours!
***********
"You!" A loud shriek pierces the atmosphere. I turn and see a gaggle of girls just in front of me. The person who shouted is a gorgeous blonde who appears to be a model but is dressed in items of clothing that are obviously not garments. I fold my arms as I wait for her to talk while arching my brow. She comes straight up to me till her face is completely engulfed in mine. I smack her in the forehead with my index finger and shoo her away. Do you know what personal space is, buddy? "Ugh, Barbara, she's so pitiful."
Irritated, a redhead says while aggressively chewing her gum.
"You scumbag! Who do you feel you are, robbing me of my man? The plan was for me to become Luna! " I smirk as I hear her cry. Oh no, share your sad tale with someone who will listen. When I turn around, I'm thrown into a wall and the blonde is holding my neck. Undoubtedly, there is a new werewolf in town. A wicked scowl appears on her lips as she exerts pressure to the extent where I could feel her false nails cutting into my flesh. You dirty human, pay attention because I'm about to ruin your life.
"No, you understand?" She stumbles as a result of my surprise response as I push her back. I move forward till we are face to face. "You pay attention. "I'm going to yank you out of this pack through the roots of your obnoxious extensions the moment you even consider trying to steal Gabriel from me. " "Where is your mate's bond with him, huh? Oh, I just remembered. You don't have any because I'm his mate and the only prostitute I see here and now is you, who is in a frantic search for a man to spread your legs for after having exhausted every single one in this pack! "
I turn and begin furiously pacing down the corridor while clutching my fists. When I get to the finish, Barbara is still there staring at me, so I turn a little to glance at her. "Next time, you'd better understand who you're speaking to. I don't care if I'm Luna, Gabriel's mate, or a human; I don't put up with crap. " When I turn to leave the corridor, Paloma is waiting there with her phone, secretly filming the entire exchange while grinning gleefully. Before approaching me and throwing her arm around my shoulders to escort me away, he taps on the phone's screen and puts it in his pocket.
"Gabriel is getting that, for sure! You quickly silenced her! " He laughs in agreement with mine. "I did my best." I respond in jest while bowing. "How about trying to defeat me in this brand-new video game I purchased? Which, let me just add, you will never do. " He brags haughtily about his abilities. "I'll sweep the floor using your ass with how revved up I am right now."
