Hunter's POV
Leaving Babe was the hardest thing I'd done in my whole existence. I thought letting go of mama and Zion was hard but watching her walk away without a clue of what could happen next was daunting.
I ignited the car and drove off to our house. I haven't picked up my parent’s call since yesterday. I was trying to avoid the topic with them. I'd rather waste time than face them to talk about something that I don't want to talk about.
I already texted Katie to bring my clothes to the backyard. I'll take it from her and leave.
My phone started ringing almost immediately I got to the front of the house.
"Hunter," Katie cried out.
Babe's POV"Are you sure you can still wait for him?" Pinky asked me the umpteenth time. When she had first asked me, I was a hundred percent sure that I could wait for him but now I wasn't even sure of what my answer should be."I don't know Pinky," I replied, truthfully."I think we should leave. It's twenty minutes past school time" She told me as she checked her watch.Pinky had decided to wait for me after I told her Hunter was coming to pick me up. She felt I shouldn't stay alone and she also didn't want to go alone. It would've been better if we both went together with Hunter."Let me call him once more," I asked and brought out from phone from my trouser's back pocket.
HUNTER'S POV Shit! I messed up! Those were the words that left my mouth as soon as I got to Babe's house and realized she had gone to school. I'd made her promise to wait for me and still, I was the one who ended up disappointing her. I asked one of their maids and she told me Babe and her cousin just left the house. Hurriedly, I entered the car and drove off to school. I knew I was driving too fast but I hoped I met her in school before it was too late. I might not have the chance to apologize if she had entered the class and I don't think I have the patience to wait till after class to apologize.
Hunter's POV"What's wrong?" Katie asked as soon as I walked into the house, holding Babe. She was still not talking and no matter how much I tried to get her to talk while in the car, she refused.Katie was standing in front of us already, holding her pen. Babe touched her face and told her she was fine."Go back to your online classes, Katie. I promise I'm fine," Babe assured her and that was the longest word she had said in the past few hours."Should I call Mom?" She asked.I shook my head. "Is dad at home?""He went out about twenty minutes ago. Mom would be back soon,""No one was at home e
Babe's POVIt was a little past ten in the night when I finally woke up. I was tired and exhausted from crying too much and from even sleeping for that long.I sat up in bed and checked my surroundings. The lights had been turned off and the only thing I could use was my phone's flashlight.After struggling to stand up on my feet, I switched on the light and I could see a cup of milk on the table. A note was also placed under it.I picked up the glass before reading the note. It says *Hunter would soon be back, have a great drink*From the emoji that was drawn after the word, I could easily tell it was Katie that wrote it. A smile appeared on my face and I drank the milk.
Hunter's POVLast night, I told Barbara I love her. It was about time for me to let her know just exactly how I feel about her. When we saw Ivy at the hospital, it made me realize I could actually be the one on that bed or even at worst, Babe, and I won't be able to tell her about how I truly feel.There's also one more thing that she needs to know but that'll be done once we get back from the hospital.I already told her about Ivy when she woke up this morning and now I'm standing in front of her door, waiting for her to get ready."Hey, sorry I kept you waiting," She apologized as she walked out of the room. I'd actually brought her back home and she also told Pinky about it and now I'm so lucky to wait for two women to get ready despite
Babe's POV"Won't you pick your call?" Pinky asked and I turned the phone upside down."No, it's not important," I argued."Since when did Hunter become unimportant?""Since he decided to lie to my face each and every time" I replied angrily."He never lied to you, Babe. He only refused to explain or tell you things. Why are you even overreacting?"I rolled my eyes. "When you’re mated to two brothers and one is a bloody vampire and the other a werewolf, then come back and ask me the same question"Pinky paused the series we were watching. The two of us had started binge-watch
Babe's POV"What are you talking about, Fred?" I asked him in disbelief."I mean you acted the same way after Mason bullied you. We weren't even sure about what happened in the janitor's room where he had dragged you to but you told us he bullied you and after that, it kept on happening months after months, the same pattern,"He explained.I did a quick bitter search through my memory and tried to remember everything he had just said but I couldn't. The only thing I remember is being dragged into the janitor's room, hearing some nasty words and I'll be in front of the mirror the next day with a razor."Why did you always cut yourself? I do ask you every time
Hunter's POV"I'm sorry," Babe apologized as soon as I entered her room and a smile graced my lips. I was actually worried about her all day since she refused to pick up my call.She was my mate and staying away from her that long or not hearing from her riled up my wolf. When she had finally picked up the call and told me she wanted to see me, I was relieved.Katie was in my room all day, trying to make me feel better. She knew something was wrong and it was probably because of Babe. I didn't tell her anything though. We were in the middle of eating when Stanny called and told me about Zion meeting up with Babe.Arnold had actually given Stanny the job of protecting his daughter and he was doing a badass good job at that.&n
