His Hunter Mate (Sequel) ON HOLD

Chapter 23 - Touch Me

"Why do I deserve everything? Why do you say that Danny?" I asked as I let him stroke my cheeks. "All I've ever done is hurt you."

"Because you're hurting on the inside." He said, taking my hand in his. "I see it on your face everyday. Everyday Alina. And I know you take it out on me. If hurting me makes you feel better than I'm not going to stop you."

I was crying really hard now. I felt like such a horrible person. I didn't deserve anything. He deserved everything. He deserved everything he's ever wanted. He deserved happiness. He deserved someone else as his mate.

There had to be some mistake. I couldn't possibly be his mate. I wasn't good enough for him. It had to be someone else.

He frowned wiping my tears away. "I'll take all this pain away baby girl. Just give me one chance."

"I can't be your mate. I'm not good enough for you. There has to have been a mistake. You deserve someone so much better than me." I exclaimed pulling away from him.

He grabbed onto my wrist, preventing me from leaving. "I only want you Alina. No one else." He said as he pulled me closer to him.

"I wish you had a better mate than me." I whispered to him as I pulled away, wiping my tears away. I then turned away from him and stared at the wall. I didn't know what to do. I wanted Danny. I wanted him so badly. But I couldn't have him.

"Alina-"

"No, don't say anything. Please." I said to him, cutting him off. I knew he was going to say something that was going to make me want him even harder. I then turned to him, gently grabbing his face in between my hands. "Danny, you're amazing. You honestly are. You deserve someone so much better than me. So please just forget about me. Go find someone who'll treat you better than I ever will."

His face fell as he grabbed my hands tightly. "I don't want anyone else, Alina. Why don't you understand? My life will be nothing without you by my side. I don't want to be happy if I can't make you happy with me. I don't want anything if I can't have you."

"Why are you doing this to yourself? You're just hurting yourself more and more. There's nothing special about me Danny. I don't get what you see in me. I don't get why you want me so bad. I'm just an average human with an above average hate for werewolves. Why would you want someone like that?" I exclaimed not understanding him at all.

He suddenly looked really angry. I wasn't sure if he was angry at me or himself for wanting someone like me. He suddenly tried sitting up causing me to immediately reach out and lay him down again. "Don't do that Danny. You'll hurt yourself."

"I don't fucking care!" He growled as he pulled himself up into a seating position, causing the blanket to fall off him. He groaned in pain causing me to reach out and lightly touch his shoulder.

That's when I took a good look at him. I looked at all the bandages that ran down his body causing me to wince. He was hurt really badly. The rogues didn't spare him at all.

My eyes suddenly widened when I got to his eight pack. I looked away quickly when I noticed a small smirk on his face. I blushed. He definitely caught me staring at his abs.

"You can touch me if you want." He said and I could hear the clear smirk in his voice. I was blushing really hard at this point because I did want to touch him and see how his abs felt underneath my hands.

I decided to change the subject. "Do you feel any pain?" I asked quietly.

"I do but Alina, don't try to change the subject." He chuckled causing me to inwardly groan. "Come on baby girl, don't be shy. Go ahead and touch me."
