Chapter 3: Offer your body
"Stop the car at a nearby hotel," Gabriel ordered the driver. "The rain is heavy, and I wish to rest tonight before heading to the capital."
His beta immediately leaned forward, giving the driver directions to the nearest hotel. The vehicle smoothly adjusted course, cutting through the rain-soaked streets as Gabriel leaned back in his seat, his eyes staring out at the stormy night beyond the window.
Finally, the car screeched to a stop before a hotel, Gabriel's beta quickly stepped out, opening an umbrella to shield him from the heavy downpour.
Gabriel had just placed his foot on the wet pavement when, out of nowhere, a woman threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around him in a desperate embrace. "Please, help me."
He stiffened at the unexpected contact. She was completely drenched, her clothes clinging to her trembling form, and her entire body quaked with fear.
"And why should I help you?" He asked.
Amelie was scared thinking he would push her away and the wolves might catch her. The next words shocked not only her, but also him, "Sleep with me."
Her breathless, desperate words stunned him—she was asking to sleep with him.
Gabriel's violet eyes darkened as he regarded her with intrigue. Did she not know who he was? Such a bold request, coming from a woman so fragile, both amused and piqued his curiosity.
He had never allowed women to get close to him, not since he had given up on finding his mate. The moon goddess had seemingly denied him that bond, and he had long believed it was because she also despised him.
And yet, here was this woman, pressing herself against him in the pouring rain, asking for something no one had dared demand of him before.
