"Umm... You were the one who moved a bit toward and my lips pressed on your skin," Alie said in a low enough voice that the driver wouldn’t listen to it. She then turned her head away, looking out of the window, biting her lip in anticipation.
Gabriel gazed at her, tilting his head on the headrest, scrutinizing her. ’Why she can’t simply say the truth? Did she feel sothing?’ he thought. ’Why did I never encounter her before? I explored many lands in these twelve years, only to ignore that place.’
As the driver pulled in front of a fancy restaurant, Gabriel and Alie made their way inside. They had a hearty lunch al. She wanted to pay for the bills, but the lack of money with her made her embarassed too.
"You can treat once you start getting paid," Gabriel said, again showing to her how he read her thoughts. He extended his hand for her and she subtly grabbed it before walking out.
Upon arriving ho, Alie thanked Gabriel for the dresses and the al. "When am I supposed to start working for you?" she asked curiously.
"Whenever you are ready," Gabriel replied. "Talk to Karn once. He will explain everything to you."
"Sure. Thank you," Alie said.
He picked up a glass of water for her, which the servant brought on a tray and forwarded it to Alie. She accepted and sipped the water slowly.
"My Lord, you’ve returned. Miss Moore is here with Miss Alie’s reports," Albus inford him. Alie was quick to put the glass on the tray.
"Bring her here," Gabriel instructed.
Albus bowed and walked away.
"My reports were fine when I did a regular checkup a few days ago," Alie said.
"I see. But I want everything to be under check since you are in my protection. That’s why all such procedures has to be done," Gabriel stated and found a seat on the lounge chair.
"You are too kind to . Are you like this to everyone?" Alie sat on the mattress, waiting for his response.
"No. My kindness is exclusive for you," Gabriel replied.
"You didn’t take your paynt last night," Alie suddenly said. "I wonder how are you supposed to do that." She fiddled with her fingers while keeping her gaze low.
"I am already taking it," Gabriel answered.
Alie looked at him when a knock occurred on the door. It was Albus voice. "Sir, Miss Moore is here," he said from the door.
"Let her in," Gabriel commanded.
Skye walked in with an envelope in her right while a small bag in her left. Alie was quick to stand up and smile at her.
"Hi, Alie. How are you doing?" Skye asked as she kept the small bag on the table.
"Hi. I’m doing good," Alie replied and squeezed her hands together. Gabriel approached her and she lifted her head, feeling better after she gazed into his violet eyes for a brief mont.
"Everything is fine, except for a few deficiencies. I have brought the dicines as well. You need to take them one per day after dinner," Skye explained to her and showed the tablets bottles.
Gabriel kept a keen eye and thanked Skye.
"ntion not," Skye replied and gazed at Gabriel, "Bring Alie to the clinic after two weeks. Note this date. We will have an ultrasound and she can see her growing pup," she explained.
Alie got a strange feeling to hear that. She would be able to see the life inside her. Her heart fluttered against her chest with this warm, unknown feeling.
"Sure, I will." Gabriel’s senses were heightened compared to the others. He felt how Alie’s heart was drumming. "Thanks, Skye," he then said.
"Why don’t you dine with tonight?" Skye suddenly asked Gabriel, right in front of Alie.
"I have plans," Gabriel replied.
"What about tomorrow?" Skye questioned.
"I have again plans. I’ll send my beta to have dinner with you in my absence," Gabriel said, declining her request politely.
"Just call when you are free. You should treat to dinner," Skye said. She glanced at Alie then, "Take care. If you need anything, tell Gabriel." With that, she left with a saddened heart.
"So, you have so deficiencies. I’ll ask Albus to give you the best diet during this period," Gabriel stated.
"Why don’t you go on a dinner with Skye? She looked quite hopeful for it," Alie said.
"But I like to have my als with you," Gabriel replied. He tucked the strands behind her ear and looked into her eyes. "Skye has a crush on for a long ti. But she’s not the one for ."
"Why? I think she’s a great woman. She’s even a healer and doctor. Not to ntion, she is so sweet," Alie said with a small smile.
"Don’t try to set up with her," Gabriel warned.
The smile from Alie’s lips vanished instantly. She bit her bottom lip. "I didn’t do that. I thought it would be a good gesture not to ignore her request."
"You don’t need to think about that. Just focus on yourself. I forgot to ntion in the annual gala, every pack Alpha will be present. So, there’s a high probability that you and your sister going to encounter each other. She may tag along with your ex. I hope you find a way to be strong in front of her. Take so rest. We will see each other later," Gabriel pronounced and turned on his heels.
"You said I could use you. If I encounter my sister, I will show her you are my partner. I think that will be better, right?" Alie asked.
Gabriel smirked and tilted his head to look at her. "Sure." He curled his fingers and closed the distance between them. Cupping her one cheek, he kissed on it.
"In the store, that kiss on my neck didn’t happen because I moved my neck. It happened because you were attracted to ," Gabriel said, peering into her eyes in amusent.
