Mated

Chapter 7

Hunter's POV

What the hell just happened?

I watched her walk into the café before pulling away.

Running through the events of last night, trying to find out what I did wrong.

I was careful.

I ignored my instincts and wolf and didn't mark her. I knew it would freak her out. She didn't know what I was yet.

When I woke up this morning and she was gone, I was worried she'd left.

But she'd stayed.

So why did she freak out when I came downstairs?

Groaning, I parked my truck. Going inside the packhouse, every intension of hiding in my office until I could visit her again.

Too soon and she will think I'm a stalker.

"Hunter, sweetie is that you?"

I looked up to find my mother watching me with a worried expression.

"What is it mother?"

"I was just wandering if Zoey was alright, she seemed to leave rather quickly."

The mention of my mate had both my wolf and I paying attention.

I had told my family I had found my mate, but I never told them her name...

"What did you do mother?"

Her eyebrows furrowed as she glared at me.

"What do you mean?"

Anna walked out behind her, rolling her eyes.

"She didn't do anything, except ask her for a grandchild, talk about the two of you having sex, oh and dad started arranging the ceremony to welcome her to the family."

Anna lists off everything on her fingers, her eyes on our mother the whole time.

A growl left me, causing both of their gazes to shift to me.

"You did what!"

With a huff my mother shook her head.

"I don't see what the problem is, do you not want to give me grandchildren?"

"The problem is that she doesn't know we're werewolves."

Both of them paled as I spoke.

"As far as she knows, we've been on one date."

"She was in the packhouse, I thought... I thought you'd told her." my mother whimpered.

With a sigh, I wrapped my arms around her.

As much as I want to be angry at them, I know they would never do it on purpose.

My mother will be blaming herself enough for the both of us.

"What are we going to do?" she whispered into my shoulder.

"I have no idea."

By the next day, my wolf and I were both anxious to talk to our mate.

Groaning I grabbed my keys and headed to find Zoey.

No more waiting.

When I arrived at the café, the seats were all empty.

Seth stood at the counter, his eyes on his phone.

As the bell attached to the door rang, Seth's gaze shot up. widening as his eyes met mine.
