The Huntress & Her Alpha

CHAPTER 16: What The Hell Was That?!

GEMMA

Wow! This might not be as hard as I thought it would when it comes to this whole 'mate' thing. He seems to be obsessed with it as well as the others because once I mentioned that word, everybody had seemed like they were in shock almost, but in a good way.

It also looked like I was doing really good in being his 'mate' as he seemed happy and relieved enough to invite me to watch a movie and have dinner with him downstairs in a bit. This was all going to work.

Once it was time to meet up with him downstairs, I started heading into the TV room and got ready the first movie, that happens to be one of my faves, 'Practical Magic'.

While I was setting that up, he came walking out of his office and seemed like he was stressed but the moment he looked at me, it seemed to make him more calm and happier as be started to smile.

"Is everything okay?" I ask him.

"Better now." He replies as he begins walking into the room and takes a seat next to me.

He next takes out his phone and we order some delivery and while waiting, he moves real close to me. Next he puts his arm behind my neck and pulls me closer to him and as soon as he touches me, I feel tingles go through my body. This was a new feeling I had never had before.

Although, I'm not complaining or anything, I mean don't get me wrong, it does feel real good, it's just again, I have never felt that before. Eh, I'm not gonna read too much into it.

So there we were for the rest of the night, watching several movies and enjoying each other's company as well as the movies when  I finally got tired.

"You tired?" He asks me after catching me trying to hide my yawn.

"Yeah." I nod in agreement. "Sorry." I tell him.

"It's okay. Don't be sorry baby. If you want though, we can go to sleep." He tells me.

'We'? He doesn't mean us both sleeping in the same bed right? Because I'm not ready to take this thing that far yet.

"Uh..." I began but he stopped me.

"I mean, of course you in your bed and me in mine." He chuckles.

"Yeah, I knew that's what you meant." I try and laugh it off.

So we head upstairs and say 'goodnight' to each other and he leans in to kiss me and this kiss wasn't like any other, sparks flew and that tingly feeling returned again. Then it intensified the moment I kissed him back.

Was I enjoying this kiss? Or was I trying to convince myself that I was enjoying it? Either way, this feels amazing and he's a really great kisser.

Though as soon as we pulled our heads apart to catch our breaths, we looked at each other and smiled. Then my head started to hurt like it did the other day and the pain began intensifying even more.

Before blacking out, the last thing I remembered was him holding me and calling my name a few times.

When I opened my eyes, I noticed I wasn't with him anymore. Instead, I was back at this house that I had gotten familiarized feeling from and started walking towards it.

I could hear laughter and what sounded like my father's voice then I saw the door open and he was chasing a little girl that looked exactly like me. Was this a memory? A dream?

Neither one of them seemed to have noticed I was there and all of a sudden, I stopped myself halfway as dark clouds started to form in the sky above and I could smell something foul. When I turned my head to look where the scent was coming from, I saw a wolf like creature form, staring at the father and daughter and then I looked back at them and just as if I was in slow motion, I tried yelling and screaming for them to look at me, forgetting this wasn't real and yet, they never looked at me because of course, they couldn't hear or see me.

The creature and everyone else seemed to be in regular motion as I watched his pack come up right behind him and all of them looked to be getting into position as if they were going to attack. Then I heard my mother's voice call out to the dad and the little 'me' version and head inside.

Once they were inside, I turned to look back at the creature and the next thing I see is them sprint towards the house and as I start running I am grabbed around my waist by someone and yanked back forcefully in the air really fast and can quickly see the house start to disappear.

I wasn't able to see who had grabbed me as I wake up screaming. What the hell was that?!
