"You want me to meet your parents?"

"Yes, i would very much love to introduce you to my parents. No pressure, though."

Nitara giggled.

'Am i ready to meet his parents?' she thought to herself.

'Yes, you are stop overthinking.' Lena replied.

She looked at Gabriel, "Are you sure?"

"Baby, You are the one for me. I am sure about everything concerning you." Gabriel said and kissed her nose.

'He called me baby.'

The blush that appeared on her face was so furious she had to hide her face in his shirt. Gabriel laughed at his shy girl.

"Don't laugh." her words were mumbled into his shirt but he heard and stopped laughing. She was embarassed enough already.

Nitara peaked out and asked him what should she wear to his home. She wanted to make a good first impression on the Luna. She has already met Alpha Jeremiah.

"Love, wear what you always wear. You look beautiful in it."

Nitara couldn't help but think about the contrast between the two men. Liam said that she wasn't classy because of these clothes.

She just shook her head and smiled at this guy who was so adorable.

Minutes passed away, she just kept on looking at him until Gabriel broke the silence,

"What are you thinking about?"

"I wish you were my real mate. Life would have been so easy. You are everything ever that I wanted in my mate. Eversince my parents died i was waiting for my mate, someone who would love me. But he didn't..."

Her eyes were casted downward for a few moments. When she lifted her face back and met his eyes there were a few unshed tears in her eyes.

"And then I got you. In just one week you have made me the happiest she-wolf alive. I... I.."

She smiled at him. She was ready to tell him.

"I love you Gabriel, with all my heart."

Gabriel's heart was beating as if he had just ran a marathon. This amazing girl loves him.

Him.

She just said that she loves me. Nobody has told him that except for his parents. He could see in her eyes how genuine her confession was.

There were no expectations in her eyes of hearing those words back from him. She just needed him to know.

Gabriel just looked deeply in her eyes.

Nitara didn't need him to say that back. She could see it all in his eyes. But the three words still smade her heart miss a few beats.

"I love you Tara. I love you."

He leaned forward a bit and took her lips in his for just a sweet kiss.

"I love you more than any person on this entire planet right now."

Nitara put her head down on his chest. Gabriel was petting her hair. She drifted off to dreamland hearing him say,

"Sleep love."

...........

"Mum!"

Gabriel entered his home, calling for his mother.

"Mumma!"

Luna Eva appeared at the top of the staircase.

"What? What happened?" she asked frantically gliding down the stairs to check her son for any injuries of any sort.

"Mum I am fine."

"Then why were you shouting?"

"Well mum, i am having someone for dinner. Could you cook that special chicken of yours? And that corn dish you make? And bottle gourd pudding that you make?"

"Okay. Okay. Take a breath."

Gabriel shut up and took a breath as told. His cheeks flushed from being embarassed. He looked down scratching the back of his head.

"So, who is coming for dinner?"

"Umm.. my.. friend."

"And who is this friend of yours? Is she the one who has got you smiling all the time?"

"Mum!"

Luna Eva just burst into laughter. Its been years that she has seen her little boy all flustered.

"I will go prepare the dishes you said." she smirked towards his son and left for the kitchen.

Gabriel went to his room and passed his time cleaning the place.

..........

Nitara woke up from her slumber and looked towards the her phone and saw the time it was 4:30.

Again she was feeling anxious. Gabriel said she could wear her usual clothes but she wanted to do something for him.

There was only one person that could help her.

She picked up her phone and called her.

"Hey babe!"

"Tracey, I need your help."

"What happened?" her voice instantly got worried.

"Umm.. i am having dinner with Gabriel's family tonight and.."

"Say no more. I will be in your room in ten minutes." Tracey told her and hung up.

Nitara let out a laugh.

True to her words Tracey appeared at her door in exactly ten minutes with a floral dress in her hand. Tracey got inside and waved the dress in front if her face.

Nitara took the dress from her and walked to the bathroom to change. She looked at herself in the mirror after changing in the dress. It was a floral sundress, the top was clingy and the skirt was flowing which reached her knees.

"You look good, babe."

"Yeah this dress is very pretty."

Tracey sniggered.

"Do you want some lipstick too?"

Nitara nodded and Tracey passed her the red stick and she applied it.

"You know red really suits you. It goes perfectly with your complexion."

"Yeah, it does."

She turned towards her and twirled a bit.

"Is this alright to meet his family?"

"Yeah, definitely. Aplha and Luna will love you and Gabriel is already smitten."

"Hey! That's not true."

"Yes, it is. The whole pack has seen how he looks at you, or the way he holds you, or the way he kisses you."

Till this point she was already as red as tomato.

"Okay. Okay. Now hush."

Tracey let out a laugh.

There was a knock on the door. Nitara's heartbeat sped. She walked towards the door. After taking a deep breathe she opened the door.

Gabriel looked up from the flowers he had brought for her and his jaw instantly hit the floor.

There was his beautiful girl looking as gorgeous as ever,

"You didn't have too."

"I wanted to, for you."

Gabriel face lit up with a boyish grin making him look so much younger than his age. He offered her his hand. Nitara took his hand.

They walked towards his home hand-in-hand. They reached the front door Nitara's hands were sweating a bit.

"Hey! Realax Tara, everything will be fine." Nitara nodded.

Nitara looked up and gave him a smile.

They entered his home together.
