The Hunt

Chapter 7

"That's not my story to tell but what I can tell you is that every year he would go to the mating games but would come home still alone. Either he didn't like her or whatsoever excuse he used to dump the girl." Mikael said. "You're heartless." I whispered to Titus. He shrugged.

"Nice eyes" I said to Mikael only realizing his eyes were a swirl of orange and green. "Thanks" he said sending me a wink. I think my so called mate saw that as he sent a punch to Mikael's shoulder. "Don't." he said.

After a while, we arrived at a white colored house which was five stories. I assumed it was the pack house. "pack house?" I asked. Titus nodded. "Not many people would be awake this time around so you don't have to worry." He said. I nodded.

I took a few steps forward only to be picked up bridal style by my mate. "I can walk." I said. I felt eyes on us and that made me uncomfortable. I squirmed in his arms. "Put me down!" I whisper shouted. "Oh I'll always carry you kitten." he said with a proud grin. I lightly punched his chest.

When we got inside, I could smell all kinds of different scents. I could also tell that not many people were awake which I was thankful about. I don't feel like meeting and greeting people now. I yawned. Today has been a long day and I felt really tired.

"So where am I sleeping? " I asked." With me" he replied. I guess that was pretty obvious already. I didn't fight because I wasn't in the mood. The one thing I would do right now is sleep. One problem. I have to shower. Then it hit me. I left my backpack at the forest! How stupid can I be? I mentally face palmed myself.

He put me down when we were in his bedroom. "I'm going to shower but..." I began. He raised an eyebrow. "I left all my stuff at the forest." I said. He smiled. "That means you get to wear my clothes." he said with a proud grin. He gave me a pair of boxers and an oversized black hoodie. Oversized for me at least.

I walked toward the bathroom and he followed along. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Going to shower together?" he said. My eyes widened. Nope. "I'm showering ALONE!" I shouted. "Please?" he said. "Or I'm going to sleep on the couch downstairs." I said. He raised his hands in surrender.

I took a quick shower. After that, I came out my hair still wet and braided it. I lie down on the bed and closed my eyes. Then I felt the bed dip. I assumed he was there. "Goodnight kitten." he said and I was of like a light.

I woke up happy to see him beside me still soundly asleep. I took this opportunity to get a closer look at his features. They were very godlike. I traced his sharp jawline with my finger.

That was when he woke up and playfully bit my finger. I jumped a little startled. "Hi." I said awkwardly. "So you can go down and greet the rest of the pack and I'm just going to stay here and sleep." I said slyly. "Well you just need a little something to wake you up." he said as he leaned closer to me. For a moment I thought he was going to kiss me.

That was until he tickled my sides and I started giggling hysterically. My tickle spot was at my sides. He found it. "Awake now? Or do you need a little more tickling?" he asked. "No!" I said. Him tickling me was torture.

He picked me up bridal style and as we were about to exit the room I stopped him. We were going to attract a lot of attention. "wait!" I said. "I'm not wearing these down." I motioned toward his boxers that were on the verge of falling. He nodded. I changed into some more appropriate shorts that look more like pants and tightened it to the maximum. "okay" I said and braced myself.

It was pretty noisy downstairs. I was nervous. When we went down, everyone became silent. Some of the people had wide smile across their faces while most of the girls had scowls on their faces.

"This is you Luna,Della." my mate said. After a while the tension in the air returned to normal. People started talking again. I greeted a lot of people. Most of them were really nice. That reminded me of my old pack. I sighed.

My mate was currently in his office taking care of alpha duties. Wow. Even skipping breakfast. I walked to wherever trying to find his office. I know it's on the second floor. I just don't know where. Then I accidentally bumped into a girl. She had hair that was a light blonde. "Ugh, who are you, why are you here?" Oh no. I got this bad vibe from her. "Oh, hi bitch! I'm Della. Also your Luna." I said.

She looked enraged by what I just called her. "It's Gina, you slut of a Luna." she said with distaste. I just rolled my eyes. Then she walked over to Titus's office I assume as it smells strongly of him. "Hey baby, did you miss me?" she coed at Titus and wrapped her arms around him.

I growled loudly my rage building up." No and I never will. " Titus said." But we are engaged. We will be married next week my fiancé. " she said. Fiancé? They were engaged? He didn't tell me?

I grabbed Gina by her hair. She whined and thrashed when I dragged her out." My hair! You're ruining my perfect hair you slut! " I slapped her. I was enraged. She was touching my mate and they were engaged." Bitch let go of me! You will pay for ever touching me!" she screamed probably alerting everyone downstairs. "You will for touching my mate." I said and threw her across the room.

Then Titus came to me. "It's okay. Calm down. Are you hurt?" He said looking at my red hands. "I'm so proud of you." he whispered in my earas he hugged me. I felt comfort in his arms. I was happy until I remembered.
