Chapter 34 – Gabriel POV

Chelsea was... I thought my mate – our mate Max interrupted after being silent for hours – handling a gun was a turn on, but I was mistaken, watching Chelsea lay down the law here on the island after using my gift she inherited when we solidified our bond was the most attractive I think I’ve found her. I loved all the parts of her immensely but that moment where she straightened up faced them all, no beating around the bush or trying to out do her self to gain their trust.

She was my match in everyway and I couldn’t have been prouder of her, she didn’t need to go to lengths, making a large dinner or barbeque to gain their trust. Previously she had done so only to be let down at times, this way was better, if they didn’t want to be loyal to her, then that was them.

You okay? I asked regardless of her taking the reigns just now, I could sense her emotions were conflicting, sadness mingled in with anger. Her jaw clenched, I watched as it twitched as we walked away from everyone on that beach, “We need to go to the hotel, where Marlon went,” she murmured not saying much else.

“Do you feel bad?” I asked knowing that Chelsea wasn’t like me, but she stopped walking spinning to stand in front of me, “Bad? About what?” she asked like I slapped her, “Him?” the scoff following echoing around us, “Telling them the truth?”

“No, everyone I care about is here, Gabriel. You remember when we first came here what Marlon said? We asked if we could stay here and he said that this was my island. These people are forgetting that.” As far as they know, I can’t make them leave – they think I’m afraid the Elders will find me, but I can make memories go away Gabriel, you know that, she nodded continuing on our way. It was quiet on the island, but thoughts were louder than ever right now, everyone mind linking discussing what was to come, the secrets they held and how Chelsea treated Brian Simeon. Many understood Chelsea’s position, her no tolerance attitude for abusers, even respected her for it, knowing that their family would be safe. Thought the way she handled it was better than anything the Elders had done, noting that she hadn’t done anything the Elders didn’t say would happen. It just so happen that no one really saw the Elders carrying out punishments, so humans and shifters a like were walking all over each other.

The others, a small group thought that as the Chosen One she acted too rashly, but I was willing to bet that those people were the same that had committed their own crimes and were worried about punishment tomorrow. I tried to enter Chelsea’s thoughts, hitting a block and curiosity flared, “You don’t really care about this Fabian guy’s condition do you?” she snorted, “No, I’m going there to talk to that family,” Chelsea said nothing else until we were right on the steps heading inside. Entering the room, the one son – Shane – sat with his arms around his mother, while shockingly Andre sat holding Hope, their daughter asleep on two chairs pushed together.

“Come to gloat,” Shane snapped his arms protecting their mother, Chelsea snorted, “Is that what you think? That someone won here? No one is victorious, your father preyed on children, he knew she was locked away and used that for his own heinous activities.”
