In the evening, as decided Gabriel arrived in Moon Obsidian Hotel for the eting with Ruben, which was related to the advanced dical technologist for werewolves.
After it was over, he and Alie were the first to leave. But instead of going ho, Gabriel decided to take Alie sowhere else.
"Why did you send the driver ho?" Alie asked as they were the only ones in the car now.
"Because I don’t want a third person to stay between us. Let’s move to the front," Gabriel opined and exited the car from his side.
Alie shook her head and stepped out before settling in the passenger’s seat.
Gabriel made sure she had worn the seat belt and drove her out of the hotel’s premises. "I am quite impressed with your work. I think I made the right decision to keep you as my secretary. Even Karn wasn’t this good in the work," he spoke. He didn’t wish to keep silence during this journey.
Alie simply smiled. "You need not to lie about that. Karn is more experienced than ," she replied.
"I agree. However, you did an exceptional job on your first day," Gabriel stated.
Alie turned her head and looked at him intently. "You don’t need to make happy with a false praise. If you find any fault in my work, then you can scold . I won’t mind."
"What should I do with you, Alie?" Gabriel mused and gazed at her for a brief mont. His violet eyes made her gulp as she saw the admiration in them and sothing more, which she couldn’t read.
Alie looked ahead, wondering where they were going.
"Did you make friends?" Gabriel asked.
"Yes! I t your gamma, Denzel Warner. He is such a nice guy. We even had lunch together. Denzel told about a lot of things," Alie began praising Denzel with an enthusiastic tone, but it made Gabriel jealous.
"Kitten, why don’t you stop praising him?" Gabriel’s voice carried a warning. Alie felt the air turning tense and she turned quiet after apologizing to him.
’Isn’t he the one who asked about making friends? And I didn’t even praise Denzel,’ Alie thought.
"Why are you sulking now?" Gabriel remarked.
"I didn’t. You were..." Alie suddenly raised her voice at him while glaring at him only to realize she couldn’t speak in such a way with Alpha Prince Gabriel. "Forgive ," she whispered and lowered her eyes.
Gabriel simply smiled in amusent and finally applied brakes to the car.
Alie looked outside and saw they were in an isolated place, surrounded by the forest cover.
"Why are we here?" Alie asked, gazing at Gabriel in confusion.
"I want to show you sothing," Gabriel replied and exited the car. Alie, too, stepped out from her side and went to him.
"In the forest, what’s there to show?" Alie questioned.
"Well, that’s a surprise," Gabriel said and grasped her hand gently. He led her way and together, they walked through the narrow pathway. Alie quietly followed his steps only to stop after a certain distance.
Everything was dark and Alie again asked, "Did you co for a run? I am afraid but I don’t possess a wolf. So, I can’t run–" her words abruptly ceased in her throat when Gabriel pressed his finger on her lips.
"Stay quiet," Gabriel’s deep voice not only resonated in her ears, but also the forest. His eyes shone, srizing Alie once again. He lowered his hand and looked up at the sky before checking the ti on the watch.
"The moon will be visible soon," Gabriel murmured and kept his gaze fixed on the sky for a while.
Finally, after fifteen minutes of wait, the moon showed itself in the sky. The mont, its illuminance fell upon that area, the bioluminescent flowers blood under its glow, causing Alie’s eyes to go widen.
"What’s this?" Alie mumbled. She has never witnessed anything like this before.
"It’s a secret garden of San Ravendale. The full moon brightens this place," Gabriel told her.
"It’s... it’s magical!" Alie pronounced. She walked ahead, her hand leaving his as she walked toward the blooms to touch them.
A smile ford on her lips when her fingers brushed over the various colors flowers, and even so bright pores filled the air.
Gabriel observed her from this distance before walking toward her.
"Gabriel, it is such a heavenly place!" She said and turned to him. The entire garden was glowing under the moonlight and she even spotted the butterflies reaching those flowers.
"Did you like it?" Gabriel asked as he stopped right in front of her.
"Absolutely. I never saw anything like this before," Alie replied.
"Give your hands," Gabriel told her.
Alie instantly placed her hands on his. He drew her close, his grip on her hands remained gentle.
"Alie, you can ask any wish here and it will be granted," Gabriel whispered.
"Really? Did your wish grant too?" asked Alie.
"Yes. My wishes got fulfilled," Gabriel replied.
"Then, I should too." Alie shut her eyes and began praying to the Moon Goddess.
anwhile, Gabriel kept his eyes glued to her serene face. ’Though I never trusted you, Moon Goddess, after you didn’t grant a mate for twelve years and believed you also despised . However, I want to trust you this ti. I want Alie to be my mate. I want my connection to strengthen with her,’ he thought.
Alie opened her eyes and t his gaze. "I am done. Did you ask too?" she curiously asked.
"Hmm. But I wonder if she would grant it this ti," Gabriel murmured.
"Huh? But you said all your wishes were heard," Alie replied.
"Except for one," Gabriel answered.
Alie understood what he ant by that. "Maybe this ti it will be granted. Keep faith," she told him.
Gabriel humd and leaned down to kiss her when Alie placed her palm between their mouths. "We can’t. Sorry," she whispered and took so steps away from him.
