MasukAngela kept staring at Gideon for a good long minute. “What?” “You had feelings for me since then? Gideon, you loved me!” Angela let out a disbelieving laugh, finally realizing her foolish husband had completely shattered every assumption she had made about him being incapable of loving her.Gideon lowered his stormy silver eyes to her and blinked once. “I... only wanted you,” he replied simply. Angela rolled her eyes and sat upright. “Alright. You wanted me as in... my body?” She arched a brow and scooted closer, eager for his answer. The question visibly irked him. “No.” He shook his head curtly.He could have had any woman's body if that was all He wanted, and Angela knew it. The she-wolves of the pack still fawned over him, seizing every chance to catch his attention. Even back in college, human girls had practically thrown themselves at his feet for a single night, never realizing the dangerously possessive Alpha King behind that handsome face. The memory made her smile.
Angela breathed slowly in satisfaction as her fingers lazily caressed Gideon’s bare chest. They lay naked beneath the sheets, basking in each other’s warmth after a long session under the shower.Her head rested against his chest while Gideon slowly combed his fingers through her damp hair. They had already skipped dinner, unwilling to leave each other’s side even for a minute. Angela’s heart had finally found peace in his embrace. She shifted closer, hugging him tighter until half her body rested over his.“Gideon…”“Hmm?” He hummed, eyes closed as He leaned against the headboard.“Did your father never like me?”Gideon opened his eyes and looked down at her before drawing a slow breath, pulling her closer with his free arm.“He didn't like that I liked you. He hated how unknowingly captivated I was by you, so he made sure I could never interact with you. You were too young to remember anything, Angela. Only after awakening your powers could you recall those moments through your visi
“Well…” His bloodstained hand slid up her neck until Gideon gently enclosed her throat, drawing so close that his uneven breaths merged with hers. “There will be a long night for us tonight, Wife.” His deep, velvety voice echoed through her senses, igniting a warmth that had nothing to do with the steam surrounding them. “Gideon can we get out of…” Gideon slammed his lips onto her, silencing her every thought. “You signed up for this, remember, Angela Woodbead.” His forehead rested against hers for the briefest second. “There is no turning back now.” Saying this He grabbed her head, pulling her under the shower while kissing her ferociously. The warm water running on their heads worked like an oil to the fire in their bodies. She touched his shoulders to push him away to take a breath but Gideon locked her hands back while kissing her wildly. He ripped her top with one hand, before unhooking her bra within seconds, leaving her half naked. Angela knew what was coming bu
Angela’s heart ached painfully. She couldn't understand why outrage, guilt, and frustration were battering her senses until she realized those emotions weren't hers alone, they were her mate's. He simply didn't know how to express them like a normal human being.At that moment, she wanted no answers except one. She could feel the unbearable agony crushing his heart, yet there was something she knew she shouldn't ask. Trembling, she rested her fingers against his chest. “What happened to your mother?” she asked softly, bracing herself for the explosion. She knew this wound was the deepest one He carried.To her surprise, Gideon didn't lash out. He merely removed her hand and said, “Go from here.”His voice was eerily calm, like the silence before a storm, matching his silver stone-cold eyes.He gestured toward the door, but she refused to move. “You're still trapped in your past, Gideon,” she murmured. “So are you,” He ground out. “Then talk to me. Confide in me. I'm your mate.
Speechless!Even that was an understatement for Angela. He had known everything all along, yet wore ignorance like a second skin as though nothing had ever happened.“Gideon” she whispered, her voice hollow. Gideon took a deep breath. “Yes, I suspected them. Wasn't it obvious? No outsider had anything to gain by hurting you except your own people. The only difference now is that you've managed to bring me proof.” He nodded, utterly nonchalant.“And still you let them walk around freely? They are your parents’s culprits, Gideon? They killed your mother. They practically killed your father.” Angela questioned, doubting her own sanity around the man she called her husband. “Which father?” Gideon stepped closer as though she'd spoken a foreign language. “You know nothing, Angela. And don't even try to.” His eyes carried a chilling warning before He turned and strode towards his wing, straight to their room.Angela watched him disappear upstairs, her mind failing to grasp the meaning be
Angela blinked in horror and shock as she flinched back when Victoria’s head rolled down near her feet. Everyone stood there stunned. Angela looked at Gideon flabbergasted. He stood there breathing harshly, with raging black orbs and bloodied claws. Her chest crushed with suffocation as Gideon’s hot fury hit her system too. He let out a threatening, dangerous growl before walking ahead towards Fin who went pale. His bloody claws elongated as He advanced towards his next prey. Fin left his wife’s body and staggered back, trembling violently, feeling his Alpha’s fury in his veins. He knew next was his turn. He joined his head and dropped on his knees. “Have mercy. Alpha….I beg you. Spare me.” He cried. Gideon growled yet again. “Gideon…” Angela suddenly jumped in front of him. She carefully shook her head at her husband. “Don’t kill him. We need him to expose the whole truth in front of the whole council.” She said in mind link. Gideon growled but she touched his chest and soft
“Gideon…” Angela breathed, and the single word carried relief, accusation, and longing all at once.His arms came around her before she even realized she was swaying. “Where were you?” Angela complained, forgetting the word around her. Her eyes were settled only onto the gorgeous yet grim face of h
“Save her!” Nora shouted at Jordan trembling, who snapped out of his shock and nodded. He took off his shirt and ran forward. But Daniela’s wolf turned around viciously, striking him and throwing him aside like a rag doll. Meantime, Angela rolled and pushed herself into a fighting stance. Her bo
Daniela halted mid-step, a deep frown carving across her forehead as she noticed the horrified expression on Nora’s face. Confusion flickered in her eyes, and before she could turn to follow Nora’s line of sight, a brutal gust of force struck her from behind. Daniela’s body jerked forward as thou
Daniela narrowed her eyes at Angela’s confidence, studying her like a predator measuring the worth of its prey. “Sure. Strike at me first. Then you will see how to defend yourself.”Angela didn’t hesitate. She nodded once, drew in a sharp breath, and charged forward with all the determination burni
