The Princess & Hunter (Book #2)

Chapter 6

~Katerina pov~

I felt so relaxed I just didn't want to wake up. But I felt someone moving and I knew it was Hunter. I opened my eyes to see his arm around my waist and my head on his other arm. It was nice I really liked it. I turned to look at his face and saw his eyes slowly begin to open. "Hi," I said not wanting to be heard by his people.

"Hey, did you sleep good?"

I nodded, "Did you?"

He nodded, neither of us spoke or moved for a while which was nice. All we did was stare into each others eyes. Without either of us knowing it we were slowly moving closer to each other and our lips were only centimeters apart. We looked deep into each other's eyes, it felt like a scene from the Notebook, and he kissed me. It didn't take long for it to get passionate. But this, this just felt right. I mean I thought I loved Christopher but now he was like a distant memory. I put my arms around his neck to depen the kiss and his massive body towered over me. I wanted nothing more then to be with him and for this never to stop. But I was running out of air and I knew he was too. So we broke the kiss something neither of us wanted to do. We were both panting but I felt a need to keep going. I looked into his eyes and saw pain. I put my hand on his cheek then he spoke, "I am a man of my word so I still must take you back."

My heart dropped it was like he didn't want me. "Will you stay with me when I go back?"

"No," I wanted to cry.

"Then what was the point of you kissing me?" He didn't answer me, "So what now you're not going to answer me?"

"I can't go back there Katerina."

"Why because of your father?"

"No, you wouldn't understand."

"Then explain it so I can."

"I just can't okay," he started getting mad. I pushed him off of me and stormed out the tent, and headed for the woods. "Katerina," he yelled but I kept going. I don't care anymore I just don't. I heard feet running behind me, and he slammed my back against a tree. "Don't you ever walk away from me."

"Why do you even care?" I tired to push him away but there was no use. "Just leave me alone."

"No."

"No? What do you want from me?"

"You have no right to be mad at me you rejected me not the other way around."

"Don't you think I know that. For the first time in two years I feel alive. I didn't come looking for you because I knew I was wrong and I felt like you didn't deserve someone who isn't connected to their feelings. I have never cared about myself. I only cared about my people."

"Is that why you choose him instead of me?"

"Yes, I thought he could be a leader and protect my people. Since I answered your question you must answer mine. Why won't you go back with me?"

"Because I don't want to sit there and watch you go play house with Future Alpha Christopher. I can't do it Katerina. I can't look at you everyday and just be friends. I want to be with you but you are happier with him."

"But now you can be a great King and protect the people."

"Do you honestly think this is how I want to be? I am like this because you rejected me. I was in so much pain that it triggered my change. I don't want to be this I honestly don't. But its all about what you like yeah?"

"Then show me that this shouldn't be the only reason to love somebody," I wanted to get down on my knees and beg for forgiveness.

"What about my people?"
