After a while, Rem seemed to have gotten his fill of stroking my fur and ears and allowed me to transform back into my human form. He seemed like he might have spent all day just enjoying running his fingers through my fur, but he said it was too distracting for a more serious talk. I agreed though I wasn’t looking forward to the actual discussion.
We both sat on the edge of my hotel bed in silence once I had dressed again. Even if I feared he would reject me here and now, I knew either way we would need to talk about things. He was a Hunter, and I was a werewolf. There was no getting around that.
“So… what are pack structures like? You don’t seem like an alpha type,” Rem asked me. Apparently, the more serious talk was going to be postponed? “You’re more like… I don’t know, an omega.”
I winced at that, then scoffed. “You humans come up with the most random shit,” I muttered, but tried to n
I gawked up at Rem. I wasn’t sure how to react at first, but I now knew one important minor fact. He felt the pull of our bond too, even if he tried to hide it behind his indifferent demeanour. I smiled slightly and although I said nothing concerning the kiss he had just given me; I allowed my hands to rest on his thighs. My hazel gaze lingered on his face until he dared a glance at me. His face was as red as a tomato, and he seemed almost shy. His own blueish-green gaze snapped down at my hands on his legs and then back up to my face. He was going to lecture me, I could tell it in his expressions. Yet, when he opened his mouth, he merely paused and looked aside again. He was unsure how to respond. I could tell he was going through the motions of figuring out if he was feeling offended or ecstatic about the touch. I felt a little more daring as I watched him struggle with himself. I leaned up, using my elbows to elevate m
Rem had paused in his exploration of my mouth and flinched as soon as his phone went off. It was as though he had snapped out of his trance and pulled away from me to grab his phone from his pocket. He was still on my lap as he looked at the caller ID. He cursed under his breath. And then scrambled away from me and stood near the wall as he clicked on the answer button. The taste of smoke lingered in my mouth and although I didn’t much like the taste, I was far too dazed from the kiss to complain. My fingers slowly raised to my lips as I tried to contemplate my next move. “What do you want! I’m busy!” Rem’s annoyed voice snapped me out of my daze. I looked over at him and tilted my head to one side. A familiar voice on the other end spoke to Rem in an equally gruff voice. “I’m coming back earlier than expected. We’re going on the Hunt tonight, so don’t worm out of it.” I knew that voice from somewhere. Furrowing my brows, I stay
In the little time we had left to get to know one another, I explained to Rem the truth about the night I had met his cousin while in London. Rem seemed surprised that I had outsmarted his cousin but relatively glad. Not for my sake though, oh no! Rem would never admit that. He now had something to mock his cousin with now. That was what he said, at least.“Now, be a good boy and stay in your room,” Rem ordered me for the tenth time. “We can deal with this shit later, but I have to play along with my cousin for a day and then get rid of him,” he continued as he put his shoes on.I nodded slowly. I could do nothing but trust him with my life. He could betray me if he desired to, and I could not stop him. If I left the room, I risked every Hunter in the area coming after me, and I wasn’t sure I could fool them thrice. Plus, it would mean having to put Rem through something awkward if he was genuine about me not wanting
The evening night passed by slowly. Every loud noise made me nervous. I kept my gaze on the streets below my hotel room. So far I saw very few people and none of which I recognised from my trip to London. After midnight I wasn’t sure if I was in the safe zone or not, but I felt exhausted and all I wanted to do was sleep.Had Rem felt the need to betray me, I hoped it would have happened already. Did I dare text him? He had been reluctant to share his number with me during the few hours we had left together, but he had caved in after I promised I wouldn’t annoy him with constant messages and he forbade me from ringing him.I sighed and glanced out the window one last time before I felt the phone in my hand vibrate. I glanced at it. It was from Rem.Rem: Stop pining after me and go to sleep.I felt my cheeks warm-up and I couldn’t help but smirk a little. Was he spying on me? I glanced out the window again and sure enough, a small group i
Back in my hotel room, Rem kept his distance from me, his arms folded across his chest. It wasn’t surprising that he was being more aware of the bond between us and trying to keep himself from falling head-first back into wanting to continue where we left off last time. He had used the time between visits to think more on things, perhaps even ask questions to the other Hunters or tried to look up information about the bond between us. I doubted he had found anything, though.I sat by the window and glanced up at him. Seeing as he hadn’t told the others where I was staying, I felt assured that he would not betray me now. Though accepting me as his mate was something I wasn’t too sure about just yet. That likely would need more time and explaining before Rem would even think of accepting it all.Seeing me waiting patiently, Rem finally spoke, though he looked away almost sheepishly as he did so, “my cousin will hang me if he
It felt like hours had passed since Rem had left, although the truth was it had only been a few minutes. He had left me confused and speechless. He had refused to accept or reject me and had just walked out as though that was it. What was he expecting me to do now? Just give up and go home? He had said as much, but I couldn’t do that. He was my chosen mate, the one I would be with! I couldn’t just go home! If I left now, would I find him? Or would I risk running into his family? His words had stopped me from going after him as he had left me dumbfounded in my room. I breathed in deeply and then snapped myself out of the daze I was in. I couldn’t end it here. Regardless of risk, I wanted to make my opinion known. This wasn’t just his choice to make, we both had to make it. Grabbing what I thought I might need, I ran after Rem. The elevator was nowhere near my floor and was still going down, so I elected to use the stairs instead. Luckily, the st
After our public display of affection, Rem was irritable with me and stood beside me with a pout and his arms folded in annoyance. He was a sore loser, but I had what I wanted out of him so I would not taunt him further. My hand found his hip again, and I brought him closer to me. Quietly I gazed at him, a pleased smile plastered all over my face.Rem had finally given me an actual answer and one I was happy with. He was trying hard to look annoyed, but the light colouring of his cheeks told another story.“Sirs, is everything alright?” One of the female staff employees questioned Rem and me quietly. Our actions had worried people, so naturally one of the staff members would have to make sure we would not cause any problems. She was polite and softly spoken, but she was clearly worried.Rem’s face flushed a little more. He looked away moodily and muttered, “yeah, I’m fine. My boyfriend is just overly dramatic,
After lunch, something distracted Rem on his phone, and he looked to be growing rather impatient. We had moved to the hotel’s lounge to relax a little as Rem was adamantly against me leaving the hotel while his cousin was still around. I couldn’t say I blamed him. His cousin really was desperate to see me dead from what Rem had told me.“What’s wrong?” I asked Rem as I pulled him closer to me so that our hips connected. He made a weak sound of protest at first but gave in easily enough after I placed a sweet kiss on his temple.Rem glanced up at me and then said, “my friend hasn’t been replying to my texts, that’s all. He usually messages me every day since he’s gone to look for his parents. The guy he is with… is a vampire or something. I don’t like him.”I chuckled softly before brushing some of Rem’s blue hair out of his eyes. “Your friend is also from
