Neon Jungle ~ Welcome to the jungle
Hunters POV.
ââââââââââââââ-
There was only one thing on my mind.
Every time I closed my eyes I saw her, I couldn't help it... I couldn't control it. It was driving me insane being away from her. I craved her, I craved everything about her.
Not being able to see her very often was killing me on the inside. My wolf longed for her, he longed for her scent which would send him into a frenzy anytime she was near.
He wanted to see her - to be near her. Every second he wasn't beside her upset him.
I knew Em would be helping her, she'd be able to defend herself if she needed to - which was great....apart from the fact that she wouldn't need me anymore.
Sadness filled me inside, I couldn't bare not being in her life, everything about me being with her felt so right. Even though I was an asshole to her at first. I had no choice.
"Don't get attached" My parents told me, "do everything to avoid her," back then I thought it was stupid - I thought they were just trying to warn me off because of my past. Now that I'm too deep in, I knew exactly what they meant.
She was the princess, I was nothing compared to her.
It was an impossible relationship, the days were counting down until she would go back to her father and rule over all of us, including me. I'd be nothing more to her than a boy that held feelings for her, it couldn't be anything stronger, I can't accept that because I know we can't be together.
Heck, it wouldn't even surprise me if they did one of those arranged marriages. There was no chance they would let her rule alone. And even less than chance I would ever see her again.
I felt my wolf growl inside me.
She wouldn't be able to feel what my wolf was feeling. She didn't have one. All wolves with royal blood running through their veins were blessed.
They didn't have the wolves within them because they were always in control.
The wolf's inside only came around when a female werewolf decided to mate with a literal wolf when she had shifted many years ago, and soon everyone had one expect the royals who refused to breed with anything less powerful than an alpha.
Yeah, not exactly pretty. It takes being weird a new level.
I got up from my black seat and collapsed onto my bed, letting out a huge sigh as my body made contact with it. Letting my lungs empty of air.
My eyes glanced over to the window where I noticed it was already dark. Every night it would get darker earlier and earlier. Cutting down the amount of time Cecelia had to prepare herself for whoever was after her.
I smiled as I thought of her.
Her long, shiny, dark hair. Which had repeatedly hit me in the face every time she turned quickly away from me - which was pretty often since she acted as if she hated me.
Show didn't even know she was doing it. I grinned to myself like a big kid before looking over at the time.
7:56pm.
I got out of my bed quickly and made my way over to the window where I immediately felt Cece getting closer.
My wolf ached when I saw that she wasn't coming towards me generally, but instead to her own house. Every bone in my body was pushing me to jump through the window and twirl her around in my arms. Watching her giggle as I made her happy.....But I never seemed to do so, I knew it wasn't right.
She always seemed in pain when I was around. I upset her in school, I fought her boyfriend, I was the reason she got dumped. She might deny it, but I saw the pain in her eyes as it happened. I didn't need to see it, because I could feel it.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw her looking back at up at me. I completely froze. It was as if I had a crush when I was 10, those stupid butterflies constantly enjoyed annoying me.
Her giant blue eyes were staring me out,
those beautiful eyes. I could recognise them from a mile away, I felt as though the world around had stopped spinning as we looked into each other's eyes, but as I expected, she turned around.
I watched her enter her house, making sure she was okay and safe like I did every day.
My wolf prodded, irritating me to go see her IÂ rolled my eyes and try's to push the feeling away. Many humans thought that we could speak to them, communicate with them. When really, it was always just through feelings, we were one, the wolf was always just a different version of us rather than another being.
I knew that I wouldn't be distracting her from anything important and I could feel how happy the thought of seeing her made me. I felt my wolf smile within me, as annoying as it was. I was totally right for once.
Without even thinking, I found myself running down the stairs and out the door. I smile appeared on my face as I realised that it was my wolf in control, running towards Cece like the big child I was.
I climbed through her window and waited yapping my foot impatiently as I stood in the shadows, the only light went wrong the room from the street lamp outside.
A huge smile appeared on my face as I heard her light footsteps coming up from the stairs.
An even bigger smile appeared as she opened the door and lightly spoke my name.
Cecelia's POV.
"Hunter...."
In my room sitting on my bed, was the boy who lived across the street. He sat comfortably with a huge grin on his face. "Well, hello there." He spoke, his head tilting slightly as he was trying to be cute.
I was completely speechless, the last thing I had expected was to walk in on Hunter sitting happily on my bed. Two seconds ago he was in his own house....this boy made my blood boil.
"Care to join me?" He snarled, grinning cheekily while patting his hands on my bed. Motioning on me to sit down beside him.
My mouth dropped open.
Frustration flowed within me. He annoyed me so much, but at the same time I kinda enjoyed the attention he was giving me. Damn my hormones.
I anxiously stayed where I was and just stared at him. Trying to blink him out of my room or something like that. You never know, I could have powers like that. It was totally worth a try.
While staring at him, I annoying found myself checking him out. Well obviously, he happened to notice this and the cheeky grin on his face got even wider. At the same time though, he looked downwards and his cheeks when a light shade of pink.
Adorable.
I then realised what I was thinking and mentally slapped myself in the face. He sighed and ran his fingers through his thick dark hair. Looking Down at my white carpet as he did so. My room was literally the opposite colour of his.
"Just sit down Cece, I'm not here to annoy you." He smiled, looking up to catch my eyes. I giggled at this, Hunter and not annoying someone at some point, was a sentence that had never existed.
He flashed me a strange face as I laughed at me and gave me a questioning look. "You-y......" I struggled to breathe, a large laugh was all that could exit my mouth.
Hunter didn't look amused, he sat there staring with a grumpy look on his face which made me laugh even harder. It took me a minute to control myself.
Hesitantly and slowly I unfolded my arms and leaned off of the white wall my back was against so I could listen into what ever "serious matter" we had to discuss.
I stared at him for a split second, taking in the beauty that he was and sat beside him nervously on my bed. Tensions were rising, really rising.
We sat beside each other like a bunch of kids that were told to sit by each other by the teacher, and both were crushing on each other awkwardly.
Great example. I told myself, smiling at how funny a person I clearly was. "I've not seen you in forever," Hunter spoke, the hurt showing in his voice "It feels weird."
L
Literally feeling electricity crawling up my leg from where his was touching mine, I budged slightly. Well, I attempted too but ended up creating a huge gap between us.
Well done me.
Hunter watched me do this, and the expression on his face felt like a kick to the stomach.
Hurting him made me hurt, it was strange. "Yeah I've missed you." I blurted out, not even realising that I'd said it until Hunters face lit up to the size of the moon. Literally, I'd never seen a happier person in my life.
I smiled, and probably made things even worse with one single sentence. "You're one of my closest friends."
Pain, was the only thing I could use to describe the look on his face. I'm pretty sure I just accidentally friend-zoned him.
"I didn-"I started, not knowing what to say and ended up sighing and placing my hands in my hands. Why am I such an idiot, I'm gonna just hide in my hands and never come out.
A warm hand then touched my skin , and my face was lifted up by Hunter whom made me look straight into his striking blue eyes. They were the kind that you couldn't take your eyes off of when you noticed them.
The shades of blue all mixed in around his iris and I felt in a trance when looking at them. They were crazy beautiful, and they were similar to mine.
I blushed when I noticed how close to my face he was, and slowly turned I turned into a tomato, and when I mean slowly I mean like four seconds.
I couldn't look at him, it just made the blush a million times worse. Butterflies itched up and down my stomach as we sat there on the bed, Hunter holding my face up to look at him.
"You feel that don't you." He nearly whispered to me, his hot breath hitting off of my face. The sound of his smooth voice was giving me goosebumps and sudden I felt like I was struggling for words, I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
I had to use every once of strength not to look down at his lips, that were very close to mine.
Electricity was booming from his touch, it was ecstatic and addicting all at once.
"F-feel what?" I stuttered, going even more red from embarrassment. The dude was holding my fricking face!
He half-smirked and sighed, not believing that I wasn't feeling anything. But to say "yeah, I feel like I'm being electrocuted at your ever touch babe." wasn't much better either.
He took his left hand and began stroking my cheek lightly with his finger. Fireworks seemed to be going off, and I had to shut my eyes from the strange feeling it was giving me.
I didn't want him to stop, his touch was addicting.
"This..." He mumbled, stroking my cheek.
"I know you can feel the electricity too, maybe you don't know what it means but trust me, I do." He smiled gently, comforting me in every way.
I felt so safe, and yet I was with a boy who was scared of blood. If we were attacked he'd collapse in a dramatic heap. The thought made me laugh to myself, and Hunter was obviously curious about what I was thinking of. I looked up into his deep blue eyes and giggled lightly.
"I was thinking of your fear of blood." I laughed, this time slightly louder. He had the exact same expression on his face as me, and both of us let out our small roar of laughter.
"You know, I did work on that." He smirked,
"Now there's nothing stopping me from protecting you. Although I did have to break through a mental barrier and a few painful memories." He faintly smiles.
His dominant side was totally hot and I couldn't help but smile cheekily at him. "You tell yourself that, black hoodie guy."
He looked taken aback and laughed at this, things felt a lot more natural now and a lot less forced between us. I almost wanted to jump out of the window as I realised that I'd called him that.
"Black hoodie guy?" He laughed.
I blushed, i'd totally forgotten that was the name that I'd used for him all those weeks ago. He found the name amusing at mumbled it to himself over again.
"Where'd you get that one from?" He raised an eyebrow at me, I looked at him stupidly and put my hand onto the black hoodie that he was wearing, taking note of the fact that I could feel his abs under it.
"Not exactly rocket science is it?" I laughed at him as he joined in. Swallowing hard at the fact that my hand was on his body.
"No it's not, but we need to talk about something serious." His tone deepened down, and so did his voice.
Sexy..... Get it under control Cece!
"There's something I need to tell you about and something I want to ask you." He spoke, putting a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Whag is it?" I asked stupidly. Sometimes I question my own intelligence. "Cece..." he starts.
He awkwardly touches his neck, and I could tell he was nervous, which was adorable.
"I don't know if you can feel it or not but...."
He looked down at the ground and once again made eyes contact with me.
"Ce, we're mates."
I didn't know what to say honestly, part of me was freaking happy and they other was freaking out at what on earth that meant for us. I tried to think of words, anything would do to stop it from getting awkward.
Nothing came to mind.
"Before you say anything else, there's one thing I need to ask you first. I don't need an answer now, but I'd like to know one day." Hunter spoke with a small grin.
I was breathing quite heavily and had to remind myself to do it every few seconds or I would totally get a sore head.
"Cece, I am asking that you accept my offer as your mate and spend the rest of your life with me."
"So...what will it be?" He grinned at me.
I'm barely back at school and already wanting to die guys. lit bit of hunter this chapter well....yeah he's just asked her to be his mate and we all know what that means....
I KNOW my versions slightly different and the mate bond is still there the difference is that she had to actually needs to know what it is first and that it's even there, after all, she's still new to this world.
Also what did you think about being in hunters head for once, should I do it again soon ?
Till the next one were we got even more Cece and hunter :)
