The Price of a Halo (Costly Love Book 1)

Gabriel's Truth

I went to his room and peeled back his covers gently. I saw his shoulder and saw the mark of a soul mate, it was faint but it was still there. He started to stir and woke up. He saw me standing over him and was shocked that I had been able to get so close to him without him noticing. He asked me what I was doing there and I told him I knew the truth about him. He replied that I didn't know the whole truth and told me to sit down. I did it because I was still slightly afraid of him. He then told me a story of his life and the prophecy that had tied us together since the day I was made. He said that the mark in his shoulder was of a soul mate that he had yet to meet. He was straight but he was very lonely. That was why he did what he had done. He wanted to feel as if someone cared for him. He told me that he had tried to control his urges but I was too alluring for him to manage himself.

He wanted the prophecy to sink in so he told me that anyone I met would be the tying factor in the prophecy. God didn't know about this because it was told to Gabriel and him alone. He was rough on me because he wanted me to learn from mistakes he had made.

I erased his memory of me being there and left, I was shocked and confused why he would hurt someone who could change his life for the better. The fact that he thought that it would help me instead of hurt me was the problem. I was in pain at all the lies and scars that he gave me over the years no matter where I was or what I did. There was no stopping what would happen after this meeting. I had to talk to my father soon because everything was finally falling into place.
