Chapter 33

Gabriel

I held Freya's hand above her head and looked into her violet eyes. She was looking back at me with raw desire pooling her eyes.

"Marry me," I blurted out.

Her eyes widened in astonishment, I had no idea why I asked the question. I hadn't planned anything like such but right now all I wanted to do was make her mine, forever, so that no one could take her away from me.

"Gabriel," she gasped.

"Why not Freya? We are mates and we will have to get married at some point. Why not now?"

I knew she was going to bring up Titus, though he was not part of our lives anymore he was still present in her heart and mind. No matter how much I wanted to wipe out all his thoughts from Freya's mind I couldn't change the fact that he was mated to her.

"You know, the reason very well, Gabriel," she huffed.

"Freya, he didn't even care to inform you before leaving," I argued.

"I don't trust his father, I don't know why I feel that he is lying," Freya asserted.

I couldn't understand why she was so sure that Titus had not dumped her and there was something wrong with him. She was not ready to accept the fact that he didn't want her. From what I have heard about his father he was one of the cruelest men. He was known for his selfish nature and cruelty. How could Titus be different from his father?

"How can you be so naive?" I asked her.

"I don't want to argue with you on this topic, Gabriel," Freya said in a wearied tone and then pulled her hand out of my hold in a fluid motion.

We both looked at each other startled, I hadn't loosened the hold on her hands still she was able to free herself. This was the second instance where she had used her power. Both times it had been involuntary on her part.

"I don't understand why I can't feel this power when I need it the most. Like the instance when that Vampire was trying to abduct me in the car and before that when the other Vampire attacked the pack," Freya said staring at her hands.

"I think your power has not, unyield fully, you still need to reach it," I concluded.

"I don't know, sometimes it just shows itself, when I am not expecting it," she was still staring at her hands rotating them to and fro in front of her.

Dinara had informed me that Freya was special and she will soon reach the full potential of her power. I was hoping that she does before the people looking for her finds her.

"How can I be so strong?" She marveled.

"Maybe, your subconscious still doesn't trust me, and your power only exhibits, in my presence," I joked.

Freya rolled her eyes and then walked towards the door and stepped out of the room. I followed at her heels, "You didn't answer my question," I grabbed her arm.

"Gabriel, you can't be serious," she pulled her arm back and kept walking.

"Do you think if he shows up I will let you go with him?"

"I don't expect such thing from you nor would I do something like this. I just want Titus to reject me if he doesn't want me," she halted in her tracks then turned to face me.

I looked at her face, she was the most beautiful girl that I have ever seen. Her silver hair and those violet eyes were capable to bring any man to their knees. Sometimes I couldn't believe my luck in having such a beautiful mate.

"I am sorry, Gabriel, but you will have to wait until I sort out everything with Titus," she added.

"Why?"

"Why, what?" She asked back.

"Why can't you marry me and then reject Titus if he ever comes to you," I asked.

She will have to choose any, one, from among the two of us. There was no way that I would ever share my mate. The same could be expected from Titus, he was an alpha wolf and they were known for their possessiveness. There was no way that an Alpha would share his mate with anyone else.

"What if he doesn't want to reject me?"

"Then why he isn't here with you?" I challenged.

"There could be a thousand reasons Gabriel, it could be anything," she replied in an exhausted tone.

"I understand only one reason Freya, that he doesn't want you. Otherwise, an Alpha wolf can't stay away from his mate," I urged, trying to make her understand.

She rubbed her hands on her face and I felt a pang in my heart. I knew that my words were hurting her, but it was for her good that she accepted the reality

"I don't know Gabriel," she bit on her lower lip.

I groaned from her action and my arm shot up and snaked around her waist, pulling her to me. Pressing my lips to hers I slipped my free hand in her hair and tilted her face for better access. She tasted so fucking sweet that I wanted to keep kissing her all day.

I fisted her hair in my hand and tugged at them making her gasp and thrust my tongue inside her mouth. Freya moaned at the back of her throat as I circled my tongue around hers.

Her moans were enough to turn me hard, I nibbled on her lower lip and her hands traveled from my shoulders to the back of my head and she slipped her finger into my hair. Freya tugged at my hair as I pulled her lip between my teeth and I groaned.

Pressing her closer to me so I could show her how she affected me, I gently squeezed her ass moving my hand down from her waist. Freya moaned again and I was not sure if I would be able to stop myself from ripping apart her clothes and burying myself inside her.
