Abbie

I had a great time in Lily's room and I didn't want to leave, but it was getting late, so I made my way back to my room... I mean... Hunter's room.

The conversation was too good, and the girls made me laugh so hard. They talked about stories of the adventures between their mates, and I would have to say I was actually a bit jealous. They had so many good things to talk about them, including Hunter.

He seemed to be a good member of their group, and by what I gather, he had befriended all the girls in Lili's room as if they were his sisters. He was very polite with them, and very caring.

It's making me double think about everything I have heard of him. What if Merida is right, and he's not a bad guy after all? Goddess, I'm getting so confused. When I first arrived this morning, I was expecting to see him being smothered by girls from all over and to get mean looks from girls that may have slept with him, but all I've seen is girls I knew from my old schools coming to me and hugging me tightly, welcoming me back to the pack.

Of course, I have no intention of coming back to my old pack, and I am starting to doubt if I should stay here. I don't know what to do, this is all so confusing.

When I finally saw the time and saw it was past two in the morning, I gasped, making my eyes widen in shock. I bid them a final goodbye and promised Livie that I would help in the kitchen tomorrow morning with breakfast. I love cooking, and I am so ready to exchange recipes with her.

I opened the door and saw Hunter sound asleep on the couch. I rolled my eyes seeing him sleeping there. That couch did not look comfortable. Why the hell did he get this set? I mean, I get it looks lavish, but it does not look comfortable for sleeping.

I went upstairs, grabbed a blanket and pillow, and placed it over him softly to not wake him. I was startled when he started babbling to himself, making me giggle. Ok... I'll admit, he looked cute doing that. But don't tell him I said that.

I then made my way to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, put my hair down from the bun I had it in, and decided to get my nightgown out of my bag. I hate to say this, I feel a little insecure wearing my nightgown because I'm used to sleeping without any undergarments. I took off my shoes and hoodie and was about to change when I heard Hunter whimpering, it was as if he was crying.

Was he having a nightmare? He began babbling away, saying my baby, my baby. I furrowed my eyebrows pondering, what in the world was he going about?

I made my way down to check on him because honestly, it was kind of freaking me out. "Hunter... Hinter!" I shook him a bit, as he hugged the pillow real tight in his arms, pouting his lips and kissing the pillow, making me chuckle. He kept calling the pillow baby, making me grunt. " I get it. He's dreaming of a girl. Asshole." I thought aloud, as Meridamchuckled away in my head.

I thought to leave him for a second, but this was insane. I shook him a little harder, "HUNTER!" I called his name louder, making him jerk awake. He looked around the room disoriented and then looked at me and the pillow, and looking at me worriedly.

"No.., no, no, no, no, NO! Where's... where is my baby?" He says as he sees me kneeling down beside him as he lies on the couch. "What baby are you talking about? Do you have a kid you haven't told me about?" I furrowed my eyebrows, angrily. And for good reason. Does he have a kid I don't know about? Because if he does, I definitely do not want to be with him. He needs to go and be a responsible man with this baby and whoever he got pregnant.

"No. Mandy... our... our Princess, and... what happened to your belly? You were pregnant, we were having another baby." He says, making my eyes wide. What the hell is he talking about? I'm not pregnant!

"What? Hunter, what are you talking about? We've never been together, remember? I think you had too much cake, you're hallucinating." I say rolling my eyes. He obviously ate all the cake Livie had brought for me, selfish bastard.

He groaned, realizing he had been dreaming. I took this as my queue to go to sleep. I am too tired for this. "You were having a dream, Hunter. Weren't you? Goddess, you're such a weirdo. Good night." I say, smiling as I get up and turn ready to leave.

"No, Abbie, don't leave me." he pleads, grabbing my arm and making me fall on top of him. My eyes widen in shock as my face falls an inch away from his hard-muscled chest. His hands grip me by the waist tightly, making my heart race and my breath get caught in my throat.

"Please stay. I don't want to sleep alone," he whispers, running his hand softly over my hair and tucking a loose strand behind my ear. "I... Hunter, I can't... I'm sorry, but, I can't. " I push myself off him, making his eyes fill with sadness.

"Abbie!" I hear him call behind me, but I don't turn. I'm almost to the last step as he pulls me back, making me gasp as I stumble, almost falling but he catches me with ease, embracing me tightly against him.

"Hunter, what are you doing? It's time to sleep, and I told you, you are not sharing the same bed as I am." I say sternly, making a big grin form on his lips.

"Look here, sweetheart. I'm being as patient as I can here. But the thing is," he says, putting a finger to his chin as if in thought. I take a step back toward the bed and he follows, then another step and another until I hit the edge of the bed, "This...is my bed. So I see only one of two things, baby." he says, leaning closer, making my breath hitch.

"Either we share a bed, or you sleep on that uncomfortable ass couch. Your call, sweetheart," he says, making me cross my hands over my chest angrily.

"Fine. I guess I am sleeping on the couch. Good night, Alpha Black!" I say, turning as I take a pillow snatch a blanket off the bed, and go to get my pajamas, but he pulls my arm.

"Will you stop being so fucking stubborn? We're mates Abbie. Why are you so adamant about fighting this bond? I know you feel it, and it's only a matter of time before YOU. GIVE. IN." he says as he gets closer to my face, smirking like the evil idiot that he is.

"Watch me. I can hold off for a VERY. LONG TIME." I say as I grab the pillow off the floor. I go by the stairs, but he traps me by the wall, making me startled as he caves me in between him and the wall.

"Kiss Me, Abbie. Just one kiss. You'll realize how good we are together. Our mating bond is strong, I feel it. And you know I'm right, you feel it too. Don't you?" he says in a low husky voice, placing a hand over my head and resting it on the wall.

"N..no. Of course not. I feel no...nothing."I lie, feeling my body ignite. He gives a hearty chuckle, low and sexy, making me bite my bottom lip as I suppress a moan. Holy bells, he can not be making me get turned on just by his stupid voice... What is wrong with me? I scold myself, for feeling turned on by the sound of his sexy vocals.

"Come on, baby... just one little kiss, you never know... you might find you like it and want more!" he says, making me furrow my eyebrows irritated by his close proximity. I push on his chest, making him chuckle.

"Dream on, Hunter. I don't care that you're my mate. I will never... and I repeat, I will never be yours, Hunter. No kiss, no.., nothing. Good night!" I grit my teeth, making Hunter smirk.

"Is that a challenge? We'll just have to see about that, sweetheart. Sooner or later you'll give in." he says as his eyes darken, fighting his wolf for dominance as we feel the sparks surge through our body caused by the light touch of his skin on mine. The mating bond call was itching at his skin. I could see that, I felt it too, but I was not going to give in. No way.

"You'll be mine sooner or later, Abbie; and when that happens, you'll be moaning my name out with those sweet juicy lips of yours," he says, running his lips over mine in a feather-like motion, planting a kiss on my lips. My eyes widen in shock as I feel a tingling sensation between my legs. "No!" I whisper out, pressing my legs together, and making him chuckle.

"It's only a matter of time, baby. It's only a matter of time," he says, pulling me by the waist and pressing me against him, making me gasp. " You feel that?... you smell that?" he asks, growling as he smells my arousal. " Someone is starting to go into heat. I can take care of that for you if you want, baby?" he says, placing his lips on my neck, making me close my eyes and pursing my lips, suppressing a moan.

" D... Down boy. Not going to happen, ok? Now, if you'll excuse me," I say, pushing him off and making him chuckle. "I need to sleep. It's late, so.., good night." I say as I quickly go to the restroom and change, running down to the couch and covering myself from head to toe.

But an hour in, I was too uncomfortable. I gave in, dragging my butt to the bed where Hunter was already asleep and snoring, making me groan. I moved his heavy butt to his side and plopped on the bed, feeling content as the mattress embraces me with the comfort of a cloud. Ok, so I know I said no, but I can't help it ok? That couch has to go, it's evil and so uncomfortable. I hate that couch.
