The Hunter Inside

Surprised

Claire's POV

I knew he had the same feelings as me, but when I shined my eyes at him.... he knew what he came to do but he wouldn't do it. After he left, I went back inside to everyone panicking about me yelling 'HUNTERS!'. "Everyone calm down. They went away" I said with a calm voice. I may have sounded calm but inside I was freaking out. I found my mate but my parents would not like who my mate was. 

My parents hugged me just to be sure I was okay. "Oh no! You birthday is ruined! I'm so sorry honey" My mom said to me with a tear running down her face. I wiped the tear from her face and smiled "It wasn't all that bad" I replied. My mom smiled and hugged me tightly and I hugged back. 

I looked around and I saw something on the ground. It was my snow globe that my grandmother gave me before she died. I slowly walked towards it and looked at it. It was broken. I kneeled down and picked up the pieces in my hands. I didn't cry because I knew my parents would be upset. I was hurting inside though.

My grandmother meant a lot to me. She took care of me the most when my parents were out. My parents were usually out for months at a time taking care of other packs. When she died, I got into a depression stage but I finally got through it.

I looked back up at everyone and they finally calmed down while they sat down in relief. "I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone" I said as I stood up with the broken snow globe in my hands. I slowly walked up the stairs and into my room. 

When I got in my room it was hot enough that you could cook eggs on the table. I carefully placed the broken snow globe in my desk drawer so my parents couldn't see. I closed the drawer and opened the window. I laid down on my bed and sighed. My eyes closed and I was  just thinking about my mate. I could feel that he was terrified and confused. I smiled and slowly fell asleep.

Jackson's POV

While driving back to town, I felt a pain in my chest. I knew it had something to do with that girl but I don't know what. "STOP!" I yelled at the man who was driving. I got out of the van and held  my chest in pain. "Are you alright sir?" one of my men asked. "Yes. You guys go ahead into town. I must do something first" I replied while closing the van door. The van quickly sped away and I started to walk back to the house. 

I got the house and I knew I couldn't just walk in. They would notice that I'm a hunter and they would kill me. I just needed to ask the girl a few questions. I looked up and I saw an open window. 'Perfect' I said to myself. I quickly claimed the wall with the vines that had been growing there for what looked like around 20 years. 

I got to the window and climbed into the house. I looked up to see that I was in a room. Her room. She was sleeping on her bed with sweat across her forehead. She looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake her. But I had to get answers.

I shook her and her eyes shot open. I stood back and she sat up. She looked at me with amazement. "What are you doing in my room and how did you get in?" She asked with the same beautiful voice. "T-the window a-and I u-um w-wanted to a-ask you some questions..." I said with a stutter. She smiled and said "Well..... Ask away". 

We talked for a while and she told me that I was her mate. While she talked, I looked at her with astonishment. When she finished, she blushed and my jaw dropped. "I-Is this even possible? T-to have a human mate?" I asked. "It's very rare, but yes it can happen" She replied looking down. 

"I-I understand if you want to reject me.... You're a hunter and I'm a werewolf. You could never love me." She said with a tear going down her face. "Well, there is only one way to find out if I could love you" I said smiling while wiping the tear from her face.
