Chapter 7 Am not hungry

The stupid women won't stop talking and they won't stop trying to drag him into the conversation when he already made it plain that he did not want to have anything to do with them.

The teenager was trying to get his attention by throwing flirty remarks at him. He was really holding back so as not to snap at them but they were becoming annoying.

He blocked them out and concentrated on his mate who was now sleeping peacefully with her head resting on the counter top. He really wanted to see her face, not catch only a glimpse. He wanted to see her face fully but he was also scared that he would see bruises on her face and snap.

Was he cursed or something? First he is a twenty eight years old alpha without a mate, then by some stroke of luck he finds his mate and she turns out to be human which was a rare case, she is also a minor if he is not mistaken

.

He couldn't just whisk off his mate with him back to the city now matter how much he wants to, he needs permission from her parent's but what will be the relevant reason he could give to her parents.

And then again those bruises on her face, they always make him feel like snapping the neck of the person who put them on her. Was it her father? If not, why will she be scared of him?

What about her mother?. He couldn't just abandon his whole pack to stay with his mate in this outback town. Yes, he could extend his holiday but not more than that.

He was really trying not to get too close to his mate because he knew that Alphas always want to be with their mate and he could lose control of himself and mark her.

He emptied the cup of coffee and walked to the counter to give his mate her money.

Even in her sleep she did not forget to cover her face with her hoodie. He felt like yanking it off but he was scared of what he would see and also how she would react.

He smiled when he heard her light snoring. Her heartbeat was slow, too slow for someone healthy. Is she sick?

He reached out his hand to tap her, ignoring the stare's of other people in the cafe but stopped himself. He couldn't touch her because if he did he wouldn't want to leave.

" Hey" he whisper yelled

She stirred and murmured something incoherent. He thought she was going to raise her head up but she directly went back to sleep.

" Little one" he called out again with a tiny smile at the corner of his mouth.

She finally woke up and yawned loudly. When her eyes fell on him she froze with wide eyes

Big green eyes, she is beautiful, very beautiful but her skin was too pale and there were bruises. His face darken. it was fresh bruises she just got, someone hit her again!!

As if realizing that his eyes were on her face which was covered in bruises she quickly dipped her head down

" Do you want anything else sir?" Her voice was tiny and mellow

He brought his wallet and handed a hefty amount to her, she collected it and peered up at him strangely as if wondering why he was handing such an amount of money to her.

" Coffee, cookie and you can keep the change" a tiny smile was grazing his face

Melody blushed under his scrutinizing gaze. He has black eyes that look like they could see through her and it made her nervous.

She was not someone who refuses money, yes the tip was too much but she needs money. With a small thank you she turned and put the money inside her apron.

He was still standing in front of the counter waiting for what?

Hunter hesitated he did not want to leave but he knew that she was not very comfortable with him standing so close to her giving the way she was wiggling her fingers.

" Are you always here?"

She peered up at him in surprise through her extremely long lashes " when I get back from school and fully on weekends"

**

He wanted to ask her so much more than that but he decided to wait. " See you around little one"

" Yes grandma and I am really confused. I don't know what to do" he brushed his hand into his hair as he paced back and forth in his hotel room.

He was on the phone talking to his grandmother, he already explained everything to her. It was getting harder everyday knowing that he has a mate but can't close or talk to her.

From what he noticed she does not talk to people and was always on her own with her freaking head bowed so that others won't see the bruises on her face. Damnit everything was so complicated!!

" Grandma say something" he couldn't bear her silence anymore

" Baby I don't know what to say but this is very complicated. A wolf have not been mated to a human for thousands of years now and she is still a minor living with her parents I don't know what to say"

His wolf curled up in his head sadly. 'We can't lose mate'

I know buddy but we can't just whisk her off

'Maybe we should'

" Honey you have to calm down and don't go talking to her yet we need to find a solution because you need your mate. I will talk to your grandfather and see what his opinion is on this"

" Thanks grandma" he hung up and went to sit at the edge of the hotel bed with his head in his hand.

He hopes to God that his grandparents will find a good solution to this before he goes berserk and does something stupid. He really wanted to know who's beating his little mate up but he knew that he won't be able to control himself from snapping the person's neck. Maybe it is a good thing that he does not know for now.

He wanted to touch his mate, take her into his arms but he knew that it wouldn't be possible until he came up with a solution.

"Come in" he called out when he heard a knock on the door, he knew that it was his beta he could smell him

Micheal opened the door and walked in cautiously because from the tone of Hunter's voice he knew that his mind was crowded and any little noise from him 'boom' Hunter would explode.

" Everything have been signed alpha we can leave anytime you want, I received a call from Andrew that there is a little problem in the pack and ......"

Andrew is Hunter's Gemma who takes care of the pack in Hunter's absence. If it was in the past Hunter would have been in the jet back to his pack but not today.

He needed to come up with a solution, he can't leave his mate here and go back. He doubts that he would remain sane if he goes back home without her.

" Call my father and tell him about the problem, we are going to stay here for now I have something to take care of"

" Alpha....." Micheal trailed off when Hunter shot him a look.

" Yes Alpha and you missed your lunch so i ordered something from the hotels kitchen for you"

"I am not hungry"

Hunter lay back on the hotel room bed as his beta walked out, he was exhausted. His mind was busy thinking of how to talk to his mate.

He smiled when he remembered how her voice sounded, it was melodious like her beautiful name Melody. Her big green eyes were deep and very beautiful and sexy even.
