The Night Wolf novel Chapter 56

It had been her hair, which was close to orange. At that age, he had been very aware of Mates, your other half, he had even hoped that the orange haired girl would be his mate. Since he could have everything orange, why not a mate with orange hair?

But as he had grown, he had also grown realistic.

At the moment he couldn't even remember her name. For a moment he doubted that the smiling girl was her, but then he noticed the girl beside her was Michael's little sister, Melody.

That is when he was struck with what was happening. That person in front of him was his mate. His mate was a human. The fact seemed to even put his wolf down-a bit.

Hunter felt like someone was playing a joke on him, he wondered if the witches had done something to him or if he was chosen by the moon goddess herself to be pranked on just because she was bored. But no, it was September and not April, not that April is moon goddess's favourite month to play pranks.

If he were anyone else, Hunter would surely have ran up to her and pulled her in a long kiss, but Hunter wasn't going to do that.

As he was about to walk away acting like he had not just found his mate, her eyes met his. They widened, as if she could feel the bond between them. Hunter internally scoffed, as if she could feel it. He kept his face blank as he teared his eyes away from her.

He had seven hours left to make the decision. Should he accept her or-Hunter sighed. He knew if he did the latter then it wouldn't really be the best decision. But the former was riskier. How could he mate with a human and make her the Luna? Not just anyone can take up the role of a Luna, especially not a human. He doubted she could even stay without screaming and losing her mind if he were to tell her much less look after the whole pack.

Hunter asked his Beta to get information on her. He knew that JR could be trusted with everything.

'Her name is Willow Greene, she's a sophomore.' JR mind linked Hunter.

Hunter could see that he was hesitating with something. 'What is it?'

'Her father had passed away a month back.'

Hunter just nodded, but he knew that JR was aware of what was happening, but JR didn't question him, and a part of him even knew that JR was aware of what he was planning on doing.

'Hunter, please think again.' JR said.

"I'm sorry." She said.

Hunter scoffed. Such a pushover and the moon goddess expects him to make her his Luna.

"Whatever." Said Hunter. "What's your name again?"

"Willow," She said. "Willow Greene."

Hunter wanted to get this done with as soon as possible, he was worried that the bond might control him and make him back off. "So Willow Greene, I, Alpha Hunger Reed, reject you Willow Greene as my mate." Hunter, instead of feeling like getting it out of his system, he felt something heavy settle over him, he felt like something was suffocating him. Hunter then forced out through gritted teeth."If anyone hears of this, then you're dead."

"What?" Said Willow looking confused.

"You won't get it, you're too dumb for this. See you, never." Hunter wanted to get away from here, from her, he didn't want her to see him in a weak form. He felt like it might be a leverage for her to use.
