The Alpha's Kitten

Chapter Eight

We pull up in front of a big restaurant with a outdoor sitting area. Hunter parks near the front letting out a deep sigh. I look over at him feeling a little uneasy. I hope my prayers will be answered as we sit in silence. 

"Are you ready to go in, Babydoll?" Daddy asks looking over at me. I nod my head fighting the urge to say no. Hunter smiles comfortingly before opening his door. I open mine but receive a look. "I'm the one that opens your door, Kitten."

"You got it, Daddy," I giggle nervously and excitedly. Daddy gets out to come get me. He holds his hand out for me, which I take happily. "Do you think they are going to like me? I really want your family to like me."

"Emily, they are going to love you. There is no reason they wouldn't love you," Hunter picks me because I stopped walking. Taking in a deep breath his cologne fills my senses.  I relax trying to keep the purrs that threatened. "Shh, Silly Kitten. Ready?"

"Yes, I am. You can set me down now," I smile. Hunter really knows how to calm me down and make me happy. He set me on my feet, opening the door for me. "Thank you very much, Kind Sir."

"You are very welcome, my fair lady," He jokes back. I laugh giving him a small curtsy when I walk through the doorway. Daddy looks around for his family. "There they are. Deep breath, Emmy. You can do this."

"I know I can. I got my daddy with me," He smiles kissing my cheek. We make our way over to the table his parents are at. 

"Hey Mom. Hey Dad. This is Emily Youngblood. My mate," I smile giving them a small awkward wave . Hunter smiles proudly making me stand in front of him. "Emily, this is Susan and David. My parents."

"Oh my Goddess! I can't believe he found you!" Susan squeals jumping up. Before I could react she had me in a tight hug. I hug her back happy that she likes me. She pulls back holding me at arms length looking me over. "You are so adorable and just perfect for my baby boy."

"Thank you, Ma'am," My voice was soft. Hunter rested his hands on my hips keeping me close. I smile brightly leaning back against his chest. "It's very nice to meet you. I have to say you did an amazing job with this one."

"Thank you, Emily. I'm David Black," His father holds his hand out. I smile politely shaking his hand. Hunter tenses a little when our hands touch.  "How long has he been hiding you from us? Hunter seems to relaxed and happy for just two days."

"It's only been two days, Sir. Trust me he's done way more for me," I tell him pulling Hunter's arms around me. Hunter kisses the top of my head  before pulling out my seat. He helps me sit down and pushes my chair in. "Aren't you going to tell me who these two cuties are, Daddy?"

"Of course, Kitten. This here is my little sister, Madilyn. And this is Jackson, my baby brother," Hunter gushes picking up Jackson. My stomach does flips seeing him interact with the baby. He takes the seat to my reight still holding Jackson.  "He's only about a year. Maddie is six."

"Hi, Maddie. How are you?" I ask cheerfully. She smiles coming over to where I'm sitting. We giggle together as she climbs in my lap. "You are just so darn cute."

"Thank you, Emm. I'm good. I got to stay on green all day at school!" She shouts. 

"Well that's great. But we gotta stay a little quieter," I say in a soft voice. Hunter rests his hand on my thigh smiling brightly that I could control myself. The waiter comes over to the table to take our orders. 

"Hello, I'm Grant and I'll be taking care of you ladies and gentlemen. What can I get you to drink?" Grant asks with a little smile. I look over at Hunter when he tightens his hand on my leg. I nod my head slightly mouthing to him to ask for a sprite.

"I'll take a sweet tea and my girlfriend will take a sprite," Hunter orders for us giving the waiter a tight lipped smile. I set my hand on Hunter's silently telling him everything is okay. Maddie had gone back to her seat next to Susan. Grant nods his head after writing our orders down and leaves the table.

"I'm fine, Daddy. You don't have to be so tense," I lay my head on his shoulder. Jackson gooed happily grabbing my cheeks. I smile brightly tickling him. "Look at those chubby little cheeks. You are just so adorable."

"You two are going to be amazing parents. How long do I have to be a grandfather?" I blush looking at David in shock. Hunter laughs shaking his head. 

"Not anytime soon, Dad. It's only been two days," Hunter says trying to sound stern. I look at him with a stern look. Hunter pats my leg still trying not to laugh. I sigh and go back to playing with Jackson. Hunter leans close to me, "Don't worry. There isn't any rush."

"I know that, Daddy. I'm not in any rush to do anything," I tell him. The waiter comes back with our drinks. He set his hand on my shoulder making me uncomfortable. Hunter growls warningly but Grant acts as if he didn't hear it.

"Get your hands off of my girl. Didn't your mother teach you not to touch what isn't yours?" I grabbed Jackson before Hunter stood up. I give him back to Susan so I can try to calm Hunter. He grabbed Grant by the shirt collar.

"Daddy Leo, don't kill him. It's not worth it. I'd let you if he hurt me but I'm fine," I plead with him. He growls throwing Grant on the ground before grabbing my waist. Hunter pulls me away from the table and to bathroom area. "We are fine. Look at me."

"Why did you stop me? He needs to ;learn not to touch w-" I kiss him hard as he growls. I know he's mad but I need him to stay calm enough that he doesn't shift. "The next male that touches you is dead. Got it?"

"Anything you say, Daddy. I know who my mate is and who I like touching me," I smile lacing our fingers together. Hunter growls kissing me again. He pulls away unwillingly to look in my eyes with an unreadable expression. "What's the matter, Daddy?"

"Emily, I think the Moon Goddess got us wrong. I don't understand why she gave me such an amazing, gorgeous, smart mate. I don't deserve you," Hunter whispers looking... Vulnerable? I push him back against the wall across the hall. "What are you doing?"

"I don't think she got anything wrong. Every beast needs his Belle," I purr in his ear causing a shiver to run through his body. I smile as the thought runs through my head, "Daddy, when we get home will you mark me? I want to be yours and have others know that I belong to you."

"Emmy, are you sure you want me to? That's a huge step and you know what happens after I mark you?" I nod my head. Most of the time after the male marks the female she goes into heat. Hunter sighs looking down at me. It's weird to see him display so many emotions at once but it's comforting also. "I don't know if I'll be able to control Leo when you go into heat. I'm worried that something will happen and you'll ha-"

"Look if you don't want to just say it. I understand what you are saying but it seems like you are trying nicely rej-" Hunter growls warning me to stop talking. I sigh stepping back a little so I can breathe. "I know you aren't rejecting me. You are just doing what any good mate would do. Worry about the other. We can wait, Daddy."

"Please, believe me I'd mark you right here but I don't want to hurt you. My little luna is too important to me," Hunter smiles sending me a wink. I giggle blushing like crazy. "Are you ready to finish dinner? I'm sure Mom and Dad are dying to embarrass me."

I nod my head pulling him back to the table with me. After that we stayed close to each other the whole night and even got a new server. She was apparently part of the pack and was super sweet. I ended up talking to Mara for a long time while Daddy talked about pack business with his father. After about two hours we all said our goodbyes  and went our separate ways.
