Chapter 20: Love Can Be Lonely
[GABE]
"See you at the assembly. And clean up well, will you? You smell worse than your bullshit," Tamiko said before he roughly opened the door, making sure to bow to Gabe as he left the room because he knew people were watching.
It was so obvious and if Gabe hadn't had his werewolf's speed, his people would have seen him down on the ground and how helpless he had been against Tamiko. Gabriel was more than just hopeless with Tamiko and slowly, he was realizing that, though he was in serious denial.
He had never expected that anyone wouldn't want him. He was the perfect poster boy for the wolf packs. He was strong, and powerful. He was handsome and a heartthrob. He was the man women wanted and the man that men wanted to be.
Hell, even parents wanted him for their children regardless of their gender and yet with all that at his disposal, they didn't mean shit to him. Instead, he was desperately yearning for the approval and love from the man he had broken more than once.
He knew it was all crazy, especially given how he had been cruel and rude to Tamiko earlier. But then he was sure that Tamiko wouldn't fold easily, and maybe that was what made it all interesting.
"Yho bro, are you ready for your announcement? I am still shocked you didn't get your mate. Or are you twenty-four?" Zakhar asked as he walked through Gabe's bedroom with Judd following closely behind.
They looked happy, something that came with having mates, and it was something that was painfully evading Gabe and he couldn't do much about it.
Tamiko was different from all the wolves in every sense. Gabe had felt the strength of his mate and he knew that Tamiko was like an alpha wolf, one that was definitely stronger than Gabe himself.
