Chapter 121: You're a monster

It took Gabriel a total of one minute to go through Marcus' memories; he skipped the part of their night together and could now only look between Esme, who killed yet another rogue, and Marcus, who lay flat on the ground. Their relationship was deeper than he imagined, but it wasn't something he needed to focus on right now. Esme had a past, as did he; 

Gabriel needed to know, though, if there were still lingering feelings between them. Marcus 'returning from the dead' is not something to be taken lightly.

Even as Gabriel put aside his feelings and thought of the situation logically, he couldn't help but feel anxious for the first time in his long life. He'd only known Esme for a few weeks, yet here he was outside a 'Hub', concerned about the she-wolf. There was no doubt about it; he cared about her more than he thought possible. Somehow, Esme effortlessly wriggled her way into his head, clouding his thoughts of only her.
