Chapter 5
I won't say it, Gabriel says, annoyed, and runs his hand through his hair. I watch his movements,my eyes trailing his hand. Gabriel saw my gaze and snorted at me. That pissed me off and I returned my gaze to the alpha.
"Rachel,I am not saying that you are wrong". Alpha says, making Gabriel growl from his seat. Alpha growled back, making him wilt under his firm glare. But if there is any chance of him changing,it is you. A mate brings out the best in you, especially an alpha. You might be the change he needs. That is an opportunity if you ask me." He said and I smiled at him".
That sounds pretty good and everything. Alpha is not ready to pin my future on trying to change my mate for good. And it is not fair to ask me to do that, I said as a matter of fact. And Gabriel scoffed from where he was seated.
Why does any of this matter to begin with? I already rejected him as my mate, it's not like I can just take it back. I said and Luna cleared her throat.
" Well, actually, if you mark him it will restore your bond, it will be your way of accepting him again". She says and I sigh, making him growl in frustration.
" You don't want me either, Gabriel. Why don't you just admit it? I asked him and he rolled his eyes at me.
" Who says I don't want you? I have always wanted a mate. Yes, I didn't expect it to be you, but I am willing to give it a try. He says shrugging and I growl at him.
Yes, you are not the one who's been tormented all these years, so it's easy for you to say so. I said irritatedly and my mom cut in.
We don't seem to be heading anywhere. Maybe we should take a break for today. Gabriel groans and I growl at him.
Rachel, can I talk to you in private? He asked.
Fine.
I followed him out of the office and up the stairs into a room. As soon as I stepped into the room, I got engulfed in his scent. It is not as strong or enticing since I broke the bond, but it still smells so good . I discreetly take in a sniff as he closes the door behind us. He comes up behind me and pulls my hair over my shoulder, unapologetically talking in a long sniff of my scent.
God damn, you smell so good, baby. He murmurs as I pull away from him.
" That's just the mate bond talking". I said and he grew in response.
No, you have always smelled so good. He says, taking another step towards me as he sniffs. I could see his tense body visibly relaxed as he sat on the bed.
I think you know what I am going to say,Leaning back on his headboard.
Are you going to accept my rejection?I asked and he smirked before laughing softly.
No, I am going to say at least we should give it a try. He says with confidence.
Why do you just accept that you don't want me, and we can both move on? I asked stubbornly and he growled a little.
" I do want you. You are smart and hot. Why won't I want you? He asked, smiling at me.
You didn't like me yesterday. The only thing that changed was the mate bond. That is not enough to build a relationship on. I pointed out.
" I have always liked you". He says.
You had a shitty way of showing it right. I said as I took my seat across from him, he sighed heavily as he ran his hand through his hair again. I got a strange urge to do the same too. Maybe the mate bond isn't totally severed, it is just muted in a way.
" If I tell you the truth , you will probably think I am stupid". He says.
" Probably, hit me with it. Anyway, you have nothing to lose. I said and his eyes bore into mine as he nodded slightly.
" I was jealous, plain and simple. My parents love you and would always talk about how smart you are. How good it will be for the pack. I feel like they would have preferred to have you as their child than me. He said avoid eye contact with me. I sighed heavily as I rubbed my temples.
Gabriel, it is not stupid how you handled it was wrong. You could have talked to your parents about it instead of treating me like trash. I said, and he nodded in agreement.
I know,I figured that out before graduation, but I also thought it wouldn't matter that much if I tried to amend it anyway. I thought you would never forgive me, but I never thought you would end up being my mate. He said, then I stood up and made my way to the door.
"Where are you going? He asked, standing on his feet. I looked at him in confusion, pointing to the door.
I am going home. I had a lot to think about as I headed for the door. He grabs my wrist in order to stop me from leaving and I look at him confused.
Can't you think here? He asked desperately and I got more confused by his behavior.
What's going on, Gabriel? I asked him to shiver at the sound of his name from my mouth. That made him realize that he still felt the full force of the mate bond.
I just want to be near you. He admitted shyly, I sighed and sat back on the chair.
I am not staying here,I am going to have nothing to do with you. Think of it as a punishment for the way you treated me for years, I said.
That is fine. I totally deserve that, but you won't make me surfer for five years, right? He asked, but I looked away.
That is not a terrible idea, I said, and he slid off the bed, kneeling down in front of me.
Please, Rachel, don't torture me. I know you can't feel it, but the thought of not being close to me is killing me . My wolf has been trying to take over so he can mark you, we want you. You are everything we need in a Luna. We are sorry it gives us another chance . He pleaded, lifting his face to look at me. They were filled with tears. Never in my life have I imagined Gabriel on his knees begging for my forgiveness.
I almost didn't like it.
