The Wolf Hunt

Eleven

Once in the hallway we started our decent downstairs, and for some reason, everyone was staring. At some points I couldn't help but glare at the girls who were eyeing up my mate, it was beginning to drive me crazy.

"So what do you want to eat?" Zave asks me once we reach the kitchen. I move past him and take a pineapple pot out of the fridge. "Dinner is served," I reply. As I sit at a stool that's placed around the island. I put the pot on the white marble counter and wait for Zave to get something. He just gives me a pointed look.

"What?" I ask him with my own pointed look. "That's not a proper dinner,"

"So?" I ask again with one eyebrow raised. "If you eat like that you could get really ill," His eye brows scrunch up in concern. My heart pulls at the idea that he worries about me.

"I've gone days with out eating, I'll be fine,"

"That's not healthy," he criticises. "Actually pineapple is very healthy, its fruit," Zave shakes his head. "You know what I mean,"

"Do I though?" I wink at him causing his frown to deepen. "Now are you going to eat something or not?" I ask him. "Depends if you're going to eat something proper or not," he counters. "Suit yourself," I shrug, just as Zave's belly let's out a deep rumble. I sigh. "Look I'd cook something but I'm not a good cook,"

"Then I'll cook," Zave beams proudly. "You? Cook?" I almost choke on my own spit. Zave's smile falters. "I'm actually a very good cook, best in the pack,"

"No wonder they're all crazy, they have to eat your food," I chuckle shaking my head at him. He growls lowly. "They aren't crazy, and I am a good cook," His eyes flash darkly. I put my hands up in mock surrender, "Okay, okay. Prove it. Make me spaghetti,"

"Challenge accepted," He smiles, his eyes adjusting to their original colour. In silence he turns his back to me and begins searching through the cupboards to look for ingredients and saucepans. He moves to our large white stove and turns it on. I watch his back muscles move and turn underneath his shirt.

" I can practically feel your eyes burning holes into me," Zave turns and winks at me before turning back around, being mature as I am, I blow a raspberry at his back whilst putting my middle finger up at him. He tsks me. "Didn't your mother ever tell you not to swear," He chuckles. "Nah," I reply "She fled once I was born," Zave freezes and turns to me. "I'm so so sorry, I didn't me-" I cut him off. "It's fine, I'm over it, you don't have to apologise for her,"

"Still, I'm rea-" I cut him off again. "Your foods burning," I nod to the now steaming saucepan. Zave's eyes grow as wide as saucers as he turns to save the rest of the food.

15 minutes later and his loading it all up onto a plate. It smells heavenly. Zave brings 2 plates towards me and sits down on the stool next to me, handing me a plate. On top of the sauce and spaghetti is grated cheese and some green herbs, the sauce is cooked to perfection and the spaghetti looks it too.

Zave's eyes bore into the side of my face as I scoop up some spaghetti and sauce onto my fork. I move the fork really slowly just to tease him, I can hear him swearing incoherently at my immature behaviour.

Finally the fork reaches my mouth and I shovel it in all at once. The flavours exploding in my mouth. It tastes delicious. I turn to tell Zave my thoughts when my chest begins to burn a hot white pain. I clutch at it desperately.

My eyes move to Zaves trying to communicate with him desperately. The stool beneath me wobbles and soon I'm air born landing on my arse and falling backwards so I lay on back. My breathing comes out in short pants. I can hear Zave shouting my name in a panic. I watch as he clutches his own chest in shock.

Feet come running in, and soon I can feel my body being lifted off of the ground, I'm carried through the house and recognise the white room we enter. My breathing becomes even more restricted. Black dots begin to appear in my already fuzzy vision.

The pain in my chest increases yet again. I can hear material ripping, and shouting. My bed shakes as though someone has run into it. I try to look around myself, I watch as Zave's being held back by members of my group.

He's chest is glowing brightly. His face is pulled into a mixture of pain and desperation. The group struggle to control him.

I can hear my name being called but struggle to find the location. The tension in my chest tightens before it implodes and runs through my veins. The pain flows through my body and the next thing I know.

Everything's gone black.

"Alexis?" A soft voice calls. "Alexis wake up," The voice calls again with some urgency. "God dammit Alexis! Wake up!" Arms grab my right shoulder and shocks of electricity run through me, causing my body to bolt upright, smacking my head into someone's nose.

"Jesus!" Zave's standing next to me clutching his now bleeding nose. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry Zave!" I reach out to him but he flinches back. "It's fine, can you pass me a tissue, please?" I turn to my left and grab the tissues on my bedside table and then to him. He starts to wipe at his nose instantly.

Guilt spreads through me at the fact that I had just caused my mate pain. "I'm really sorry," I apologise again. Zave manages a smile. "It's fine, I'm tough it didn't hurt that much," His wincing doesn't satisfy me, but I let it be.

"What happened?" I turn to Zave. "I'm so sorry, Alexis! I think your allergic to something in my pasta! I'm so so sorry!" I shake my head. That doesn't make sense. "Hunters don't have allergies Zave, just like wolves can't get ill," Zave's eyes fill with relief, before worry was placed back in them. "Then what happened?" His eyes bore into mine.

I look down at myself unsure. Before I begin to take off my hospital gown. A growl causes me to freeze. I look at Zave his eyes are black with lust as he stares at me intently. "Can you turn around?" I ask sweetly. Zave only growls in response.

"Suit yourself," I shrug and continue my process, once the gown is off I look down at my naked chest and sure enough there's the same damn riddle embedded over my breasts. Zave wolf growls louder this time. His eyes fixated on me as he stalks closer like a predator after its prey.

"Zave, look at my chest," He growls deeper and more ferociously. Wrong choice of words. "I mean the writing," Zave stops and looks down at my chest, cocking his head to the side. His eyes slowly go back to their original colour and he blinks a couple of times.

"I've seen that before," Zave states, meeting my eyes. He slips his top off and sure enough the same riddle is engraved in his chest.

I beckon him closer to me. I reach out my hand and touch the riddle lightly. His eyes turn black instantly. I can smell the lust rolling off of him. I smirk at this. "I didn't realise I had this affect on you," I tell him, my voice sounding husky. His own arm reaches out to my chest and as soon as he touches the riddle, lust overcomes me.

I can feel my eyes turn hazy, knowing they are pure white from the lust my inner Hunter is feeling. Zave head bends towards me and his lips connect with mine.

The kiss is wild and dangerous, filled with passion and lust. Zave's tounge enters my mouth and I moan out in pleasure. His arms circle around me caging me in as I reach up and pull at his hair, making him growl and moan in my mouth. His lips move from mine and crawl down my jaw, then my collar bone. Where Zave licks a sensitive spot. I moan out instantly, this encourages him and I feel his canines press against my flesh. Asking for my permission. I grant it. Zave sinks his teeth in and I feel my own teeth become sharp. Every single one of them. I bite down on his collar bone. Marking him as we fall back on to the bed together. I retract my teeth the same time as him.

His arms rest either side of me, as he looks down into my eyes. His eyes are no longer black and the haziness from mine have disappeared.

What the hell did we just do?
