Understandings

Gabriel and Megan were standing outside of the front entrance to North mansion when the first car arrived. Megan wondered if anyone could see how stiff her posture was as Gabriel's arm wound behind her and his hand held her against him at her hip. Megan knew though.

Gabriel had dropped that bomb on her and then Afton had called him away. He had hurried off, likely all too happy to escape what was going to be an explosive tirade on her part. Gabriel just now mentioned he was a King, and they had to live in another realm.

Who the hell did he think he was to drop that on her days before this was supposed to happen? Megan was so livid she could barely breathe when he was in the same room. Last night Gabriel had come to bed just as she was finally drifting off smelling distinctly of bourbon.
