Hunted

Chapter Ten

9 Years Ago

"You can't tell her." Richard said with his head between his hands.

"Why not." I growled.

I was trying as much as possible to keep Xerxes in check. It had only been a couple weeks since I turned 16. I still didn't have full control over my new companion but I was trying. After my first shift happened I told myself to wait a couple weeks before heading to New York.

Even as a kid I had always known Mel was mine. I just wanted to confirm it. The logical side of me told me to. I had always been protective of Mel since I met her. That protectiveness turned into a crush over the years even after she left the camp. I wanted it to be more than just a silly crush so I flew to New York the first chance I got to confirm if she was my mate and she was.

"She doesn't even remember you Alexander and she knows nothing of the supernatural world. I'm not dragging her into that life. You're an alpha you're more possessive so what I'm saying is probably going out the other ear." He said.

"Of course it is." Xerxes scoffed in my head.

"But I'm talking to the human you. The logical you. She's safer here. Away from where Alistair can reach her. In the care of my family. No supernatural is stupid enough to go against one of the most powerful hunter families. She has school and wants to go to college are you sure you want to uproot her life?"

"Then I'll move here." I reasoned. "I'll get to know her all over again."

"You have responsibilities too. You're supposed to take over your father's pack. I know this is hard for you to understand since you're still so young. A couple years is all I'm asking for. Until she's completely safe and Alistair's out of the way. You have her for eternity. All I'm asking for is a couple years."

I looked out the window into their garden and spotted Mel and the boy. Both of them completely focused on the books in their hands. I didn't like him. He was sitting to close to her. Richard said he was her best friend. I was supposed to be her best friend she didn't need him to be her anything.

"I won't tell her. I'll stay away and wait a while."

"No we won't."

"But I'll be coming to check on her as much as I can." I continued ignoring Xerxes. Richard sighed and smiled.

"Thank you. I know I'm asking a lot."

"It's no problem." I said forcing a smile.

I left on the first flight after that. I couldn't afford the other Wilsons knowing I was in town. New York had a handful of supernaturals. Most of them were old and knew how to hide from that family. No one took themselves into New York unless they absolutely had to and for a short period. In this city they were the predators.
