Chapter 19: Alex

I wake up and the sun shines brightly in the room, blinding me for a couple seconds. I look around and instantly sigh in relief. I'm in Hunter's room.

I lift the blanket that was covering my lower body and look down at my injured leg. There is a new bandage around it and my jeans have been cut just above where the bandage ends. Now I have capris on one leg and skinny jeans on the other.

"Alex." I look up not even noticing Hunter had came into the room and was watching me.

Before I could say anything he wrapped his arms around me, giving me the biggest hug I think I have ever had. I feel so safe in his arms, I sigh and he squeezes tighter.

"Hunter... Air..." He draws back from the hug, smiling.

"Oh sorry I just... I was so worried about you." He had such sadness in his eyes as he remembered back to last night when I went missing.

"I know. How are you feeling? I heard them say you got hurt." He sits on the chair next to the bed, grabbing my hand and intertwining his fingers with mine.

"No I'm fine, just got knoc... Wait, what do you know of them? Do you know their names?"

"Oh um, one was Mac and the other was Marcus." He looked eager to find out more which worried me. How can I possibly tell the man I love that his father killed my parents and tried to kill me? That's not something you can just blurt out.

"What about the boss they kept talking about? Do you know anything about him?" Better now then never. He deserves to know.

"Hunter, the bo..." Mr. Lupus peeks his head through the door and I immediately stop talking.

"Hunter you left me at the... Oh I see you found her." He glares up at me.

"Sorry dad. I couldn't help myself." He gives my hand a squeeze.

"Hunter the girl looks famished she hasn't eating for hours, go get her some food." What is Mr. Lupus playing at? Hunter nods and turns to me. He squeezes my hand again and then let's it go as he gets up and leaves the room.

Once he is out of the room, Mr. Lupus advances towards me.

"I don't know how you escaped but let me warn you now. If you so as attempt at trying to warn my son or anybody I will have your brother tortured and killed right in front of your eyes." His voice was like knives, cutting into me. And his eyes had a fire that scared me right down to the bone.

"You ..." Hunter cut me off, calling up from downstairs.

"Hey Alex what do you want to eat?"

Mr. Lupus gave me a smile that only the devil could make.

"Alex?"

"She'll be down in a minute." Mr. Lupus answered for me, handing me the crutches that were leaning agains the wall.

I grab them from him and swing my legs over the side of the bed. I stand up and bend my leg, putting my weight on the crutches. I start crouching to the door, keeping watch on Mr. Lupus. As I near the door I feel a hand at my lower back. I stiffen.

"Oh here let me get the door for you." Mr. Lupus grabs the door handle and opens the door. He pushes me through the door and I just barely catch myself with my crouch before I face plant into the floor.

"Alex!" Hunter runs up the stairs towards me, odviously not seeing what just happened. "Be careful! Here let me help you." He takes my crutches placing them against the stairs railing, holding me up with one arm. He then gently picks me up bridal style and brings me downstairs, to the kitchen.

He places me on a stool at the counter and I turn around. Mr. Lupus disappeared somewhere around the house which sends shivers through my body.

"Alex?"

"What?" I wasn't listening to him.

"What would you like me to make?" He smiled at me. How could the devil have an angel like him for a son?

"Um can I have a grilled cheese?"

"What are you like addicted to grilled cheese?" He laughed and started making me my sandwich.

I put my head in my folded arms that were on the cold counter. What am I to do? He will kill Allen. But we will die anyway if I don't say something. I have to wait till we are completely alone. Wait Allen... Shit!

"Hunter I forgot about Allen! He must be going crazy!" I start trying to get up but Hunter stops me.

"It's fine I got Liam to convince Gen into covering for you. I dropped you off last night at her place because you needed some homework you missed and you decided to stay over the night."

"What about my leg though?" I look down at my bad leg. I can't even walk on it.

"We will figure something out. Maybe Gen's dog bit you." Hunter said.

"I'm a horrible liar though. My brother will see right through me." He will. I wouldn't be able to lie to save my life.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine." He smiled and placed the grilled cheese in front of me. I dig in, finishing it in record timing. "Wow, you were hungry."

"Yea... Hunter I'm tired can I go lie down?"

"What ever your little heart desires." He smiles and picks me up again. Bringing me to his room and placing me on his bed. He starts leaving.

"Wait..." He stops and turns back to me, "Come and sleep. I know your tired." I pat the bed next to me. He smiles and comes around the other side climbing in, under the blankets. He snuggles up to me, wrapping me in his arms and pulling me into his shirtless chest. I curl up and sigh, he is so warm.

"I love you Hunter."

"I love you too my little mate." With that we both fall into the peacefulness of sleep, in each others arms.
