It's come to my intention that some of you are confused about what's happening and what's he's doing to his mate.
So Tiger shifts ( such as Gabriel) are scared of losing there mate because many of them have heard stories about rejection or just mates leaving and not wanting them. So these tiger shifters decided to not give there mates a choice, they lay on there no matter what, without a choice to be with them or not. It happens 3 times. When they find each other. Mating Season. When the mate is pregnant. Tigers are very protective and have a very possessive nature.
That's just for this story. It's not real.
