     Hunter looked deep Into my eyes and panic entered me as I knew that he wasn't kidding. 99% of what he said was over-sarcastic, it was who he was, but he was kidding and this was real.

    Another loud howl entered through the air, causing me to stiffen against him. I looked up at him as my breathing increased and every inch of my body began sweating with fear.

    The cold sweat was running down my skin, giving me goosebumps all over as it made its way down my neck. I tried to control the chills it gave me.

     I closed my eyes and leant against him, my head on his chest. And I quietly listened to the sound of his beating heart, which was beating quickly with manly adrenaline. Did I just call Hunter manly?

    My eyes refused to open, I didn't want them too - I was too scared for my own life. Em was always right, and this was one of those times where she wished that she was wrong too.

     Hunter wrapped his warm arms around me and held me even closer as howls were all let out from multiple directions. Let's just hope their friendly? Friendly Wolves, maybe they can sing for us?

     My eyes shot open as heavy footsteps were coming towards us, but It wasn't two like a human, it was four. Hunter looked down at me and placed a single finger on my lips, signaling me to be quiet. The sparks from his finger touching me lips was enough to keep me quiet and I obeyed his order. Keeping quiet as the footsteps around us grew closer.

   My shaking intensified.

      Hunter, knowing that whoever or whatever it was slowly approaching us, climbed out of the hollow of the tree to catch them, before they caught us - It was like a game of cat and mouse.

    I wanted to say something to him, the timing may not of been fantastic but If something were to happen to him then  I would've never forgiven myself if I didn't get to speak the words.

      "Hunter... I want accept you as my m-" I was cut off.

    Hunter had placed his hand over my mouth, and every single inch of my body questioned why. I stared at him, completely confused. My eyes searching for an answer.

    He looked around to check that it was clear and lightly smiled, "Not just yet Ce, not just yet....also, your timing is pretty crap." He whispered, placing a light kiss on my forehead.

     Annoyingly he placed me in the small Hole in the tree and ran off, leaving me confused and scared all at once. My senses kicked and I immediately panicked at the thought of either him or Em getting hurt - i'd be alone.

      Em can handle herself, we all know that for good. I tried to comfort myself, but really I was freaking out as my hands were shaking uncontrollably.

     Multiple growls sounded out into the cold air and without thinking I immediately ran to where it was coming from, but found myself at a small creek where on the other side, two wolves were trying to tear each other apart. Sinking their teeth into each other's bodies.
