Chapter 24

I felt a strange mix of emotions then. Worry, for Gabriel was a frightening individual and his appearance would surely cause trouble. Horror, because of the 'excruciating pain' that he fe< they hadn't even mated, so the pain must have been intense. Mates could feel each other's every emotion and thought once they completed the process, but before the Claiming, only the most intense emotions and physical pain could be shared between them. I also felt a surprising amount of relief. Gabriel was the most powerful wolf I'd ever been around, surely he could help us find her. If he was coming all this way that meant he cared about her, right? I then realized that he'd made the journey all the way from his pack village to the heart of our territory in half of a day. It was normally a day's journey between the two villages, which meant he'd been traveling incredibly fast to get here. That reassured me even further, and I was begrudgingly impressed with his speed.
