amazing. It was like I was laying on a cloud. I closed my eyes thinking I’d dream of him tonight. What would happen once we met? Would it be like my dream? Hell, his room probably looked nothing like my dreams. I sat up in the bed unable to sleep because I took a long nap earlier. My mind raced with an eager interest in seeing his room.
Jumping out of bed, I rushed to the door, testing to see if it was unlocked and bingo, it was unlocked. I opened it up and stepped into the darken bedroom. The moonlight illuminated the bed only. It was a massive bed with an even bigger frame His sheets were just like my dream. With a giggle, I saw his shirt sitting on the chair near the door. I rolled my eyes, and said to myself, “Men, he wasn’t even here and he left a mess.”
Unable to stop myself, I lifted the shirt to my nose, inhaling his scent. There was a hint of cologne, but it was his natural scent that kept me sniffing. This was stupid. If he came home early and saw me in his room, what excuse could I use? Sorry, I’ve been dreaming of you and this room, just wanted to see if you would come to me and worship my body the way you do every night.
I looked down at his bed, and it was inviting as it was every night. Curiosity killed the cat, and yet, I wanted to feel the sheets, so I laid down. Closing my eyes, I could feel the dream again as if it was real. I opened my eyes expecting to see him in the doorway, and I wasn’t disappointed.
“This must be a dream,” I said as I looked at Hunter. It was so nice to put a name to my dream lover.
Chapter 4— Hunter
I was nearing the house, and I could smell her. Inhaling deeply, I took in her scent and memorized it. As of tonight, this was the last time she would smell only of herself; tomorrow she’d be covered with my scent, alerting everyone to her status as my mate.
I took in her scent again and Gage’s, too. With a low growl, I let him know I was near. I wanted to rush into the house, shedding my human skin and tear at him. She was too close to my brother. The only thing that stopped me was when I heard his words to her. It pleased me to hear him defend me, except that I could tell her touched her.
It was good to see that he didn’t talk to her unless forced, and I was glad he told her the truth. I would never hurt her. She was mine, to love and protect. I hoped she caved to me as easily and passionately as she did in my dreams.
The next year or so was going to age me big time. I needed to speak to my siblings about all the shit Creed told me. I heard her go back to her room, and then once she closed the door my brother acknowledged my presence.
“Bro, I see you came back early. Why did you hide in the shadows?” he said just above a whisper. Since we could hear from far distances we didn’t need to speak loudly.
“I didn’t want to interrupt a tender moment,” I growled and dragged him into the other room.
“Please, she’s your mate. You know we only have one mate. If she’s yours, she can’t be mine.”
“No, she can see whoever she wishes. She can mate with me and still search for another,” I snarled in pure jealousy.
“What?!” he shouted, freaking out.
“Yes, it’s one of the downsides to her being a human.”
“Yeah, but I can’t be with her anyway.”
“But she could fall in love with you,” I admitted.
“Fate wouldn’t be that cruel to you,” he said as he gripped my arm in camaraderie.
“So you were able to find something out about it?” Chloe asked as she slowly entered the room.
“Yes, Creed informed me about a lot.” I spent the next five minutes filling them in on the issues with our mating and future.
“Hunter, you know we’ll have your back any time you need it.”
“Thank you, Gage. It means a lot.”
“Just so you know, Rocky was here today. He came as we walked up the steps. He was very interested in Catherine. We told him that you hired her as your manager,” Chloe informed me. I could already tell
