Gabriel’s chest rumbled, the wolf inside him was excited to mate with Alie. The re scent of her pheromones, wrapping him in a way that turning away was impossible. He pulled away breathlessly, giving them enough air to breathe.
"A," he called out her na in his deep voice.
"You call so affectionately that it makes my heart flutter," Alie murmured, keeping her hands on his chest while looking into his eyes. "Your eyes sparkle more now," she murmured, bringing her hand to his face when he caught it.
Gabriel sniffed the scent, his lips kissing her palm as he closed his eyes. Then, he forcefully pulled away, "We must go downstairs."
"Hmm." Alie agreed with him and picked up her clutch from the chair. Hooking her arm with his, they left the rooftop.
"The food was amazing. We never ate anything like before that. The taste... It’s still in our mouths," Alie said, smiling.
"We are happy you both enjoyed the als," the elderly woman said. "Since it was the first ti Prince Gabriel visited this place with his mate, we won’t take any paynt," she added.
"Don’t say that," Gabriel said. He put the money on the counter table despite the refusal. "Just take it as a gesture of goodwill, Grandma," he said with a smile.
The elderly couple bowed to him and told Rooney to see them off.
Once they stepped out of the restaurant, Rooney thanked them for eating at his grandparents’ restaurant. "It wasn’t as nice as those fancy ones, but in terms of taste, no one can beat them," he stated.
"I agree," Alie replied with a smile. "You study in school, right?"
"Yes. I help my grandparents after finishing the school," Rooney answered.
"That’s wonderful! We will keep coming here. It’s not a crowded place, so it’s good for our prince to avert the lilight," Alie said, looking at Gabriel.
"You are welco any ti here, Miss!" Rooney said excitedly. "Please drive safely," he said, bowing to them.
As he turned around, Alie stopped him.
"Take a picture with Prince Gabriel," she suggested.
"Pardon ? I can’t do that, Miss," Rooney got flustered and nervous.
"Why? Won’t it help your grandparents more? You can stick out photo at the front desk," Gabriel suggested.
"That’s indeed a nice idea, Your Highness. I thought you wouldn’t be interested," Rooney said, his hands turning sweaty with anticipation.
"That’s not true. You can take out your phone and give it to Alie. She will click a picture of us," Gabriel suggested.
Rooney nodded and pulled out the phone from his pocket. He handed it to Alie, who smiled at him.
Rooney stood next to Gabriel with a nervous expression with a small smile on his face. Gabriel gave out a nice smile and Alie clicked their picture.
She gave the phone back to Rooney, who thanked them.
"You are a beta. Are you getting trained well?" Gabriel inquired.
"I don’t want to train, Your Highness. My parents died being warriors and I don’t like it," Rooney truthfully told him.
"I’m sorry to hear that. But it’s good to train for your own self-defense," Gabriel advised. "You should go inside and help out your grandparents," he stated.
Rooney thanked them once again before walking inside with tears of happiness brimming in his eyes.
"I did sothing like this for the first ti," Gabriel said. "I do feel good," he added. Then, holding Alie’s hand, he whispered, "Let’s go near the stream."
Arriving there with hands-in-hand, they both stood near the lamppost on which electric lantern was hanging.
"It’s not good to go close to the water at night. So, let’s just stay here," Gabriel opined.
Alie agreed with him.
"I was wondering if we should start planning for Noa’s toys. I want to make a big cradle for Noa. Of course, you will select its design," Gabriel said.
Alie was astonished seeing how much he catered the needs of the upcoming pup. ’It isn’t even his, but he acts like a real father to Noa,’ Alie thought.
"Also, I wonder if you want to invite your parents in our marriage," Gabriel said.
"I’ll think about it," Alie told him. She couldn’t refuse for it as for so reason her mother’s face flashed before her eyes.
"You should," Gabriel stated.
"What about the Queen, your mother? How will you convince here to be an attendee?" Alie inquired.
"I’ve no idea. Even if I’ll ask her, she may say sothing bitter. I will just send the invitation to my father, ntioning my mother’s na too in it. Rest is upto her if she wants to be a part of it or not," Gabriel affird. He hung his arm around her shoulder and continued,
"Don’t you feel much more connected to after the mark?" He asked.
Alie tilted her head to look into his eyes. "I do. I must have not showed much reaction to it because sowhere, I was hesitant to believe it was real. Sotis it gets hard to trust in the bonds, which broke once. I feel overly excited around you. But I–I desire to wait till our wedding night. I hope you don’t mind that either," she whispered.
"Absolutely not," Gabriel replied. He kissed her cheek out of the blue, making her blush.
"Gabriel, thank you." Alie turned to him, holding his shirt and kissed him this ti.
Then, a few seconds later, she pulled away while peering into his eyes.
"Don’t thank all the ti. It will make feel burdened," Gabriel pinched her cheeks with a small smile, reaching his eyes.
"Just accept it. You deserve all of it," Alie whispered.
She took a few steps away from him and began walking along the bank of the stream. Gabriel caught her hand, matching her steps. "Don’t ever leave . Even if the worst situation arises, I want you to trust more than anyone. I hope you keep that in your mind," he asserted, his eyes carrying the concern that there might be forces, which would want to separate them in future.
