Abbie’s Pov"Abbie... Marissa, I will not repeat myself, you two young ladies get down here right now!" Mom repeated, making my eyes widen in panic as I tried to hurry inside through the window."Mom, stop it. You're going to scare them." I heard Felicity's voice as I stumbled going inside the room. My foot caught on the curtain, making me fall onto my side with a thud. "Oh... that hurt!" I groan, grabbing my elbow. Marissa chuckled, holding her hand out for me. "Dummy!" Merida says in my head. As she laughs away. "Come on. We'll go together to the slaughterhouse," Marissa adds, making me whine a little and hoping the floor opens up and eats me alive. "Do you think Mom knows I got fired?" I ask, making her chuckle. "Ah, hello! It's mom. You know you can't hide a thing from her!" Marissa says chuckling, making me roll my eyes. I should have known. She is a wise old soul. "But, before we go... I have to tell you something super important though, ok? Don't freak out!" she says, as she
Abbie (days later)I couldn't sleep. It's been over eight days since Luke and Felicity asked me to go with them to this so-called party. And since then, they have been asking me every day... to change my mind. Damn, Hunter... why the heck did he have to come back into my life like this? Why is everyone mentioning him to me so suddenly? It had been days, months... since I hadn't thought of him. Why? Why now, when I finally wanted to start moving on from the damn crush I had on him and look for someone to date? I am done waiting to find my mate and my absurd thoughts that he could be my mate.I'm going to do it the human way and just go out there and choose a mate. That's it, that's what I have to do. Because at this rate, I will be single forever. It would be for the best. Besides, I bet Hunter has already found his mate. And I bet anything that him being a manwhore because of all the rumor... I bet he rejected her. So why can't I get him off my head? Goddess, this is ridiculous!I s
Hunter"Alpha, your mom requests your presence in the kitchen, sir. She wants your approval for the menu for the guests arriving today." one of my guards, Spencer says as I sit on my chair in front of my desk. I had been going through countless papers today, trying to get all my work done before my guests arrived.I was incredibly nervous. My best friend, Alarick cleared his throat after he noticed I wasn't answering. I continued reading the document, lifting my finger for them to wait. I jotted down the last notes and cleared my throat. "Tell my mom to pick what she likes best. I'm not good with these things, she knows that. What about my sister, Lily? Has she gotten up already?" I asked my guard, making him sigh. "No, Alpha. She hasn't come out of her room yet. She asked that we don't bother her today." he says, making me worried. My sister, Lilianne, or Lily for short, hasn't had it easy the last few years, she's been isolated from everyone, and cooped up in her room most days. I c
AbbieWe drove for what seemed forever. Jessie clutched onto my hand the whole time until she fell asleep, followed by me shortly after. I never realized how far I had strived away from the pack until now. Boy, did I really run so far when I was young? How in the world did I even manage to survive running so far away? After a long drive and a quick nap later, I woke up, something inside me told me... I knew we had arrived. I gasped as I saw the huge gates leading to the pack entrance. The place was heavily guarded by warriors. Luke placed the window down, smiling toward them. I had forgotten how pretty Hunter's pack was. The huge iron gates in New fresh black paint made it look even fancier. The small olive trees his dad had planted when we were kids were now massive beauties."Good morning. Identification, please. And may I ask what your visit here is for today?" one of the guards asked, making Luke nod with a smile. He handed him his ID card along with his invitation. "We received
Abbie I fisted my hands as my jaw clenched, my Wolf was going crazy and I was trying to play it off as Luna Maddy kept talking to us. She smiles, holding Mom's hand and squeezing mine gently. "Mate... Mate!" Merida yells again, making me close my eyes and sigh. "My Goddess, Merida. Shut it. You sound like a needy sex-deprived howler." I say, making her growl. "Abbie, sweetie, you remember when you were down here right? We had this whole area still under construction. My daughter Lily and you would come up to that tree house down that path and spend all day up there until your dad came to get you." Luna Maddy says, making me smile.How can I forget? I was trying to hide from the man. Trying to get away from his fist and the bottom of his boot. "I remember. Where are Alpha Black and Lily anyway? I haven't seen them." I asked, and I felt like I had said something wrong. Her expression changed, making me look with concern toward my mom. "My dear... my husband died a little after you le
“I knew it!" Marissa yells cheerfully getting scolded by my mom. I want to look away. I have to, right? This... is wrong. I was adamant about my decision when I said he couldn't be our mate... so why am I finding it difficult to look away from him? His hand gently pulls me, making the sparks increase. My eyes widened, if it was even possible as I gasped under my breath feeling his hand trail around my waist. "Abbie.... Abbie Montero. It's... It's really you." he says tugging his lips into a full grin and getting closer, his lips... are so plumped... so... kissable. I can hear my heartbeat as if it had a damn megaphone right in my ear. Can he hear it? I bet he can. His chest is so... close, making me want to run my hands over those pecks. I can still see a bit of beads from the sweat he formed from running here. "You're... my mate!" he says pulling me closer, caving me in his arms. His lips get closer and closer until he's less than an inch away, almost touching my lips. I can feel hi
HunterI am going crazy here. This woman is driving me CRAZY! She's been back for less than an hour and I already want to rip her damn clothes off and claim her. Titus is super excited, jumping up and down, making me want to smile from ear to ear. I have no idea what the hell Abbie is talking about, fuck toys. What fuck toys, damn it? Does she not get it? She has no clue that she's been the only girl I've waited for my entire fucking life.Did she really think I'd let her go so easily? Why would I? She is... My MATE... cardigan girl is none other than the girl of my dreams. My mate! My Abbie! I feel like yelling it out to the world and that... Is what I shall do!I can't help but feel so overjoyed as I stand like an idiot in front of her smiling, getting closer and closer. If I can just steal a little kiss... I leaned in closer, almost touching her lips. I could hear her heartbeat, it was just as fast as mine, making my heart swell. Boy if I could just... Slap!I closed my eyes, tur
AbbieJust what the hell was that? I almost lost it back there. "That will not happen again," I said aloud, making Merida chuckle. "Never say never, Abbie. You liked it, and you know it." "I DID NOT!" I said, furrowing my eyebrows. The truth is, I did... I really did and that's what upset me the most.Hunter's kiss was still lingering on my lips. I could still feel the sparks on my body and my lips where he held me. The adrenaline surged through me, making my mind clouded. A part of me wanted to go back and kiss him, and another part of me knew... it was wrong. I closed my eyes, touching my lips. I could still feel his gentle yet passionate kiss on my lips. The image of his dark eyes on me, made me feel like I was melting, and the way he looked at me was so... loving. Goddess, this is a mess this is bad... this is so bad. Something in me told me it was an alarming thought to come here today, and I was right. I was so darn right, why did I come back, why did I have to change my mind?
