Beta Gabriel Lodge.
Beta to one of the most feared men in the country whilst being a terrifying one himself.
He's not really sure what drew him to choose Adelaide as a mate. Maybe it was her soft beauty or her strong soul. All he knew is that when...

After the whole 'men trying to attack Lilly and I' incident, things had been pretty smooth. Gabriel and I fell into an awkward, but comfortable routine. I would tie his tye in the mornings when he left for work and then go back to sleep because he leaves for work at four in the morning.
Workaholic.
Then I would get ready to hang out with Lilly. Then Gabriel got home, I would make dinner and then sometimes I'd sit on his lap while he watched hockey or watch a movie on a phone upstairs, by myself.
It had been a week after the incident and my hand was still hurting. My cheek had healed slightly, as had Lilly's but my hand still aches when I moved it.
Right now I was walking to the hot tub, in my large fluffy robe. I had just finished cleaning the dishes and I wanted to relax. I slipped off my robe, showing my dark blue bikini and carefully slipped into the steaming water. It was very chilly out, but that's what made the hot water all the better.
Gabriel still hadn't mentioned our wedding which was supposed to take place in a week or so, but he had mentioned Lilly and Alpha Donnelly's. I suppose I should ask but I just didn't know when.
I had gotten more comfortable with Gabriel. He would hold me every single night and to be honest, it was nice. The night was cold but his arms were warm and I welcomed the touch. He must be very lonely, having to work all the time.
I wasn't complaining though. Even though we had only known each other for a short time, I was beginning to like him. I thought it was cute how he got protective and how he gets jealous of Zeus. We had gotten to know each other a little better.
But I was for sure not ready to marry him.
I closed my eyes and sunk deeper into the water, trying to relax my tense muscles. The idea of marrying such a stoic man made me anxious.
I opened my eyes to splashing. Gabriel's large form sat on the other side of the tub, before he naturally pulled me onto his lap, and into his pale broad chest.
