CHAPTER 13- Running with Hunter
I dipped into my room and quickly changed into a cami and workout shorts. Then I am running down the stairs to get to the woods. I really want to play this game with Hunter. It is something that is just the two of us. Nick can never do this with me. When I get far enough behind the tree line I find a big tree and strip. I never liked people seeing me so I was as discreet as possible. Once I shift into my fur I shake it out. I am a large black wolf with a white patch on my chest. I love how powerful it feels in my fur. Digging my claws into the dirt.
I take a deep breath searching for Hunter’s scent. After about five minutes I smell it. I follow the scent deeper in the woods. After several minutes I see a brown wolf with black highlights to his fur, he is sitting by a stream. Hunter’s wolf is as large as mine. That is pretty unusual because I have Alpha blood, my wolf should be larger. I don’t mind though. He is an Alpha through the bond. I crouch down so that he can’t see me. I am down wind so he can’t smell me. Then I lunge.
I land on his back, right before he makes contact with his teeth he catches himself. “I almost bit you. Don’t sneak up on me.” He links over.
I laugh, “Come on, you loved it.” I am still laying on him.
“Oh, yeah.” He playfully nips at me and I jump back.
Now we are running around nipping at each other. This is what I wanted. I want to have fun with Hunter. I need to know we can connect in a way that isn’t just romantic. We are running around like this for a couple of hours. I feel like a pup, that is how much fun I am having. The sun has started to descend, changing the skys to a pretty pink and orange color. I finally let Hunter catch and pin me down. He rubs his muzzle along mine. Giving me a lick he lays next to me. It feels good to feel his fur against mine. “We should probably head back soon.” I don’t really want to leave, things seem so much simpler this way.
Hunter stands and stretches. “Yeah, we probably should before your dad sends out the pack to find us. You want to chill and watch a movie?” He is actually asking me what I want to do. He never cared before. I am really liking this new side of Hunter. I can live with this Hunter.
“Yeah, my room.” I get up and shake my fur.
“Even better than my plan. I was just going to do it in the common area.” He gives a wolfy chuckle.
“Don’t get any ideas.” I give him a final nip.
“Race you back.”
“You’re on.” I take off, sure I am not playing fair, but I am sure he isn’t going to either.
Running I can hear him crashing through the woods behind me. I kept in front the whole way. I am a little worried when I reach the tree where I left my clothes, but I don’t see him around. I triple checked before shifting. Slipping on my clothes as quickly as I can, then I run to the pack house.
HUNTER’S P. O. V.
I kept close, but I didn’t pass her. Call me a peeping tom. I don’t care, but I watched her shift and run back to the pack house. I find my shorts and shift back. I ran to catch up with some of the distance between us. She doesn’t need to know I stopped to watch her. That’s for me only. The image of her naked body will stick with me. The way her tight body flexed and bent. Her smooth skin over her muscles made me want to reach out and touch her. That is the stuff of dreams, at least my dreams.
When I reach her room she is standing there leaning against her door with a large grin on her face. “What took you so long, slow poke?”
I smile back at her. “I couldn’t find my shorts.” It was worth it. Every inch was worth the taunts.
She leads the way into her room. I have never been here before. She keeps it clean. She has a king size bed, perfect for the two of us. Jasmine seems to like the color green. Everything is some shade of green. Her comforter is a dark green as well as the loveseat that is a little further off. Her drapes are a lighter green, but they are the darkening kind so they keep out the light just fine. I notice that the loveseat is positioned right in front of a large screen tv. My kind of girl. I go take a seat on the loveseat. Jasmine follows me over, taking a remote of the little table next to it. “I think we missed dinner, what do you think we should do?” She asks as she flips on the streaming channels. Flopping her beautiful ass on the loveseat.
“I will make you something. What do you want?” I know what I want.
She stops and looks at me. “You can cook?” I can see the challenging gleam on her face.
“I am not a gourmet but I can make some decent food.” I give her a confident look.
“Alright, how about spaghetti and salad. Can you manage that?” It is clearly a challenge.
“Challenge accepted.” I get up and head to the Alpha’s private kitchen. I am sure he won’t mind if I am making his daughter something to eat in here. I cook it up within about forty five minutes. Cleaning up my mess I take the two plates to the room.
When I get there I am a little disappointed. Jasmine is curled up on the couch fast asleep. I set down the two plates on the end table and I slid the blankets back on her bed. I gently pick her up and place her on the bed. I cover her up and go around to the other side of the bed. I know I’m a little sneaky but she can’t tell me I can’t sleep here if she is unconscious. I turn off the lights and get in bed next to her.
I relish in the soft skin on her body as I pull her close to me and snuggle in for the night.
UNKNOWN P. O. V.
I am itching to get this evening’s report. I want to know how it is progressing with the Beta. My spy sits fidgeting in the chair. “Well, what happened?”
She lowers her head. “They spent hours in their fur together. Running around in the woods. Then he went back to her room with her.”
My jaw tightens. The thought of that piece of shit holding my princess is killing me. I want to be the one in that bed. Soon. So very soon I will be the one holding her, caressing her skin and laying my lips on the most sensitive spots of her body. I take deep breaths trying to calm myself. Soon, not now. This needs to play out first. “Anything else?”
“No sir.” She shivers a little. I know she can sense the anger radiating off my body.
“Good work. Tomorrow you can spend the day with your mate. I will watch her.”
Her eyes shoot up to me. “Really?” I can see the elation there. The same feeling that I am going to have as soon as I am able to hold my princess.
“Yes, really. Now get out.”
My patience is wearing thin. I want her, she is mine and I will have her.
