Chapter 74: The Claiming

Gabriel looked down at Megan to find her unconscious. He wasn't surprised as she was changing right now and that could be a taxing thing both physically and mentally. He had never told Megan what came next during the claiming between soulmates. He hadn't felt he needed to before.

He started stripping Megan of her clothes. They would just get in the way. Then he stripped out of his own clothes before he climbed into bed beside her. Gabriel got situated in bed and asked Mim to bring them some water.

Gabriel would never have wanted this to go down this way, but it couldn't be helped. He was unwilling to allow anything to come between them again. He certainly was not about to let South get between them any further.
