Fate

14

They just sat there after that, closer than before, kept sneaking glances at each other and smiling coyly at each other.

"How old are you?" Gabriel was curious because, she looked young but her skills made him think she was older.

"I am 18." she said.

Gabriel's eyebrows shot up.

"How?" he wispered surprised.

Nitara furrowed her brows and chuckled.

"How what?"

"How do you fight like that?"

"I told you I was trained with my brothers."

"How old were you when you started?"

"Well my dad actually started to train me when I was 9. It was only fun and games. But my actual training started when i was 13."

"Wow."

She gave him a cocky smirk.

"If you dont mind me asking, why did he reject you?"

"Have you seen me?"

"Yeah I have and that is the reason I am asking why would he reject you!"

"When you haven't seen me fight, what did you think about me?"

Gabriel thought about the first time he saw her in the clearing, she was in the lake, then when she got out,

"I thought you were small."

Nitara let out a laugh.

"Exactly."

She looked down with a sad smile and looked at him again, before speaking,

"He is a pack warrior. In his eyes I was a sixteen year old pup. That couldn't move staright without falling."

Gabriel's faced turned in one of confusion. Nitara sensing this asked him if he had seen her walk and he let out a laugh when he remembered last night when she tripped over tree roots.

"Yeah, yeah. I am clumsy."

Gabriel stopped laughing and said with an amused expression,

"But you are a graceful fighter."

"Well he never saw me fight. I am a very peaceful being. My wolf has some anger issues."

'Liar.' Lena sneered.

"Okay. I have a little anger issues. If I am not provoked I am calm."

"I will always keep that in my head." Gabriel let out with a low chuckle.

"Well back to the story. So, the pack warriors have returned from some training expedition and I smelt him and followed the scent. There i found him getting it on with another she-wolf. He looked at me once and rejected me in front of her. She told me to close the door while on my way out."

Nitara chuckled at Gabriel's expression, he was making a disgusted face but still managed to look cute even with his nose scrunched up and lips in a frown.

"So you left the pack because of it?"

"Well yeah, but not technically."

'Curious dork.' She commented in her head, looking at his somewhat curious expression.

"He rejected me two years ago..."

"You went through all that when you were just sixteen?" Gabriel was seething.

"Yeah." she replied sheepishly.

"That fucker. I will kill him."

"Hey! If I wanted him dead, I was more than capable of murdering him on my own when i found him in bed with another female."

"Well, why didn't you?"

"I am not sure. It was weird, yes. But i didn't think he was worth it." she chuckled.

"Why are you chuckling?"

She then rolled in laughter.

"He lasted five minutes."

Gabriel was confused. He didn't understand what she was talking about.

"Umm.. his performance in bedroom." she clarified to him giggling.

"Oh.." he said out loud but inside he was just enjoying the sound of her giggles.

"Why did you move here now?"

"Umm.. two weeks ago he marked her. I couldn't hide my sadness anymore from my family."

"You never told them?"

"No. They think i will find my mate someday and he would make me happy again."

The expression on her face was one of adoration.

"They would have banished him. I didn't wanted people saying that they were biased and threw him out just because he rejected me."

Gabriel looked at her weirdly. She was so wise at such a young age.

He just pulled her in for a kiss again. There lips meet in another sweet kiss.

"You are an incredible person."

Gabriel wispered against her lips and went back to kissing her.

However, this time he swiped his tongue on her lower lip, asking for entrance. Nitara parted her lips and let his tongue explore her mouth doing the same with his mouth.

Gabriel pulled her even closer to him, making her straddle himself. Both his hands moved to her hips, bringing them down against his crotch.

Nitara's eyes widened when she felt his hard on and she pulled away.

"Umm.. I.. I.."

She was turning a darker shade of red by each passing second.

"Hey! What's wrong? Did I do something?"

Nitara shook her head vigorously.

"No. No, no. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just.. umm.. I am.. I.."

She looked towards his crotch, embarassed. Gabriel saw where she was looking and instantly a pink stinge appeared on his cheeks.

But he thought about Nitara. It would be so embarassing for her.

"Nitara, we are not going there, yet. I won't do anything that you are not comfortable doing. Trust me."

Nitara looked in his eyes.

"I trust you. Its just i have never been in situation like this before."

Gabriel just gave her an adoring smile and put her head on his chest, hugging her close to him.

"Do you think we should get back?" he heard Nitara's bleak voice ask.

"Yeah, I think we should."

They stood up and started walking just like they did previous night, but this time there hands were intertwined as they walked in silence.

When they reached the outlines of the woods, Nitara stopped.

Gabriel looked back at her in confusion.

"Why did you stopped?"

"Is it okay, that we keep this in between us just for a little bit time." she says pointing to their intertwined hands.

"Yeah, whatever you are comfortable with." Gabriel says while putting his other hand on her face and pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"I will see you tomorrow. Hmm?"

Nitara grinned answering with a 'yeah', before walking towards the pack house.

She walked a few steps before turning around. Gabriel was still stood at his place.

"Earlier I didn't react correctly because only my brothers have only called me that except from my mom. But.."

She smiled at him, and said the words that made his face glow with ecstasy.

"You can call me Tara too."
