The Hunters Pet

Chapter 2

   Stretching out I left my dads office and headed to Sebastian's room. "Why didn't you tell me " I asked once I barged in. "Ahh.. ok Jess I'm sorry but Danny wasn't any good for you." He softly said and gave me  a hug. Wait what ? "Not that doofus but we will talk about later " I pushed him and sat on the edge of his bed. " Why didn't you tell me about the Moonshine Pack Bastian" I eyed him so he knew he better watch his words. " Jess that's not something I could've brought up in any conversation." "I know but do we need to worry-"

"No- he growled. You're my little sister and I won't let anything happen to you." "Or Yasmine" I teased earning a blush from him. "Speaking of Yasmine I saw some pups that seemed interested in her earli- "MINE" he growled before racing out of the room.

   Laughing. Guys will be guys. In case You didnt know Yasmine Is Bastians mate. I wasnt sure if I'd like her when they first met but she's like the sister I never had And makes Sebastian happy which is a huge plus.

   I can't Wait to find my mate. In two days i turn 18 and I'll be able to tell if he's nearby.

   Suddenly happy I skip downstairs to grab a quick bite since I missed dinner.

   "Jesssssieeeee" my best friend Layla practically tackled me. I do consider myself lucky though, not everyone gets to live with their bestie... Then again not everyone lives in a pack house with a hundred other shifters.

     "Ooomf  layyyy" I grunted and held back a laugh. Giggling she stood up and gave me a hand. "What ? I haven't seen you all day " "hah because I went for a run" Her face sobered up at my words and she looked worried. "Oh c'mon does everyone know about the moonshine pack But me. Well now I know but I didn't before " I pouted. "Really ? But youre alpha well technically not but you could be if Sebastian wasn't around not that I'm saying he shouldn't be around because I'm sure he'd make a better alpha than you because he's like totally more respons-" covering her mouth i had a satisfied look on my face until she licked my hand "laylaaaa you licked my hand" I wiped it on her shirt . Smirking She replied "if it makes you feel better it didn't taste good." Laughing I continued to the kitchen with Layla.

   "Missed you two at dinner" Linda the pack cook told us. " I was in dads office " I turned to Layla who had a pained expression. Weird.

"You guys can go to the dining room. I'll serve you dinner and desert " she smiled warmly at us. I loved Linda She was like a mother figure to all and one of the sweetest shifters I knew.

   Sitting at the table I looked at Layla "what's wrong" I poked her. Taking a deep breath she said " I met my mate." Omg "I leaned over and hugged her, you're so lucky Lay congratsss" "no Jess it's Dalton... And I'm sure he hates me " Ohh. 

    Dalton was a member of our pack who was about two years older than Layla and I. He always wore glasses as a kid and werewolves had perfect vision which was strange. That led him to getting picked on a lot by other wolves including Layla and myself. I do not condone bullying in any  way but I was a kid and kids will be kids. When Dalton was 16 his vision got better and he ditched the glasses but he still held a grudge against the shifters that used to bully him and requested he live in a cabin a few feet from the mansion. Not very far I know but it helped him not see us practically everyday. Three of his loyal friends moved in there with him so Iknow it isn't so bad.

   Linda came out of the kitchen with a tray. It had four plates and two cups. She placed a plate of spaghetti in front of Layla And I. Then she set two dishes of  chocolate cheesecake to the side I think I salivated a little. "You girls enjoy" she pat Layla's back and left.

   This is one of the many things I love about Linda. She's kind, can cook , can cook, can cook and she doesn't push someone during a hard time.

We both ate our food in silence because we were never big talkers around a good meal.

LAYLAS FLASHBACK

Eager to make a sandwich so I could finish curling my hair I ran to the kitchen bumping into a tree ? Really Layla a tree inside ? Shaking my head and looking up I locked eyes with Dalton. Mine. My wolf purred in my head and I grinned drinking him in with my eyes. It's been a while since I've seen him and he's changed a bit. His shaggy hair was trimmed and shaped his face and his eye, god they were so pretty when they weren't hidden behind his old glasses. But what really changed was his physique. He used to be average height and slim but now he was a friggin giant and though not overly big he had some muscle now.

" Hii mate" I smiled shyly. "No Layla just no" he looked disgusted and I froze. What ? "But we're- " "don't even say it" he sounded frustrated and continued "the goddess must have made a mistake." I was Speechless. Never would I have thought that i Layla Gomez would get rejected.

Layla You made mate hate Us. My wolf whimpered The cut Off The link before i could respond.

Wait. Male wolves usually find their mates a lot earlier.

"How long have you known?" I asked accusingly. "Since the day I moved out" he coldly stated and brushed past me.

Stupid cute stupid hot in those jeans mate. I made my sandwich and stomped to my room.

* End Of Flashback still Laylas Pov*

I Finished my dinner in complete silence and went to my room. Thinking about Dalton ruined my whole mood but Jess understood. I didn't doubt that she would cheer me up later.

Opening my window I noticed Dalton entering his small house. At that moment he coincidentally looked up. No harsh expression on his face, in fact no expression at all. We stared at each other for a few minutes neither of us daring to move until I decided to give him a smile. His reply was turning his back to me and entering his cabin house. That night I dreamt of my mate and his perfect eyes .

Authors Noteeeee- shame on Layla but 😩💕💕 I'm rooting for them and so is Jess. I tried to make this chapter a bit longer before starting my next. I doubt anyone has started reading my book yet buuut ^_^ it's a work in progress. Also I don't edit my chapters , I really should though >_<
