Chapter 24

Aubrey's POV

Long thick fingers dug into my forearm yanking me back faster than I could turn to see who it was but the familiar growl was all I needed to know for sure that it was Hunter. He pulled me against his bare chest not caring to cover his nudity which wasn't too much of a surprise, his long arm kept me from pulling away although I wasn't thinking of going anywhere.

"If you touch my mate again I'll kill you." he growled his chest rumbling from the animalistic sound

Holden grinned his brown eyes shimmering mischievously, running his tongue over his bottom lip he glanced my way before turning back to Hunter.

"I'm just reminding Aubrey what she could have."

"Don't. Touch. Her." Hunter snarled his fingers digging further into my arm

Wincing at the dull pain I thought of pulling away but my hammering heart wouldn't let me, five minutes ago I thought I'd never see him again and now I was pressed against his naked body happier than I'd been all day.

"You said she was hurt." Hunter growled towards the porch

"I lied but I needed you to come." my uncle spoke loudly

"To watch that fucker shove his tongue down her throat!" he stated his body trembling

"She sure wasn't complaining." Holden snorted

Hunter's head snapped his way in a inhuman way, his body shook as he took the first step forward dropping his arm from around me, his hands clenched into a fist ready to crush Holden's face. Holden chuckled and motioned for him to proceed challenging Hunter further.

"He's not worth it." I said, reaching for his white knuckles

"Aubrey let him go." my uncle called out

Closing my fingers over his fist I ignored my uncle, I walked around to face Hunter over filled with joy that he was here. His dark as coal eyes latched on to mine as he took in my appearance as if this were the first time he ever saw me. His brows smoothed out from their bent form as his features softened slightly with every inch of me he took in.

"Matt sent a young wolf to tell me there was an accident, that you were badly injured." he spoke the words in a low voice

A warm tingle started at the base of my chest, he came back for me maybe not the reason I thought but still he cared enough to come back for me despite our break up. This morning I hated this man for his cruel departure but right now as I looked deep into his dark green eyes I knew that I could never really hate him no matter how much he hurts me.

"How fucking romantic, I think I might puke from all this bullshit." Holden snorted making his presents known

Hunter snapped his head up a low rumbling starting from deep within his chest. "I suggest you leave unless you want to be carrying your teeth in your pocket."

Holden grinned at the threat as if he told him a joke, is he insane! Tightening my fingers around Hunter's fist I noticed the way he clenched his jaw tightly, his teeth bared ready for a fight as his normally healthy green eyes were a dark dangerous mix of a mucky black color a hint of red staining the once soft eyes. Glancing up at the porch I saw uncle Matt nodding so this must be going according to his plan as my mom stood by my father clutching his hand for dear life, my dad watched the scene before him with one leg slightly in front of the other ready to step in if needed.

Holden sucked his bottom lip in between his teeth "You still taste sweet."

"Holden shut up!" I yelled noticing the shaking hand beneath mine
