The Alpha King is My Mate?

15

The next day Isabella and Hunter were lay arm in arm on the bed after waking up, with sleep still in her eyes Isabella turned on her front to look up at Hunter with love clouding her eyes, she found herself running a single finger up and down his chest which left him growling softly, it almost sounded like he was purring appreciatively like a cat. Without another thought Hunter's hand reached out quickly to place a steadying hand around Isabella's wrist to stop her light teasing.

"I need to tell you something" he mutters stretching with a groan

Anxiety filled Isabella's body, there was no tone in his voice that could tell what exactly Hunter needed to tell her but as always Isabella thought of the worse possible scenarios first.

"Go ahead" she whispers digging her head into her pillow as if to cover her face from Hunter, she knew he could read her like a book and right now she just wanted to find out what he needed to tell her rather than him having to spend a hour convincing her it wasn't anything bad even though he could just be telling her 

"It's my sister" he sighs rubbing his face, Isabella sat up instantly with her head to the side which Hunter found incredibly cute but he had to shake his head as if to get rid of the thought. Likewise Isabella found herself studying her mates feature, the curves and creases of his face that she had come to know and love - she wanted nothing more than to reach out just to touch his face but she luckily managed to keep her hands pinned to her side

"Sister? Since when did you have a sister?" Isabella says sounding like she was questioning herself more than him - had he mentioned it before and she hadn't been paying attention?

Hunter looks amused when he thinks about his answer "I dunno, I guess since she was born so 18 years"

"You knew what I meant" Isabella smirked slapping Hunter's chest trying to ignore the sparks all over her hand 

Isabella took this moment to realise how close the two had become in two days, she didn't fear touching him now - the thought of even playfully slapping Hunter like she had done moments earlier when she first arrived terrified her. Isabella also noticed that she was okay that Hunter didn't have a top on, he slept with only pajama bottoms on... she knew he didn't even wear boxers underneath but she was okay with it. Looking down at her own body Isabella noticed she was wearing less too, pajama shorts that made her legs seem endless and her usual tank top but she noticed it had risen from moving around and although the desire was there to pull it down to cover the faint silver markings of the start of her scars she didn't - she managed to refrain which was a huge step for her.

A chuckle vibrated its way through Hunter's chest and onto Isabella's hand which had stayed firmly planted on his chest, Hunter had taken her hand and pressed it to his lips before putting it back on his chest with his on top, it so happened that it had fallen on his heart and every now and again when Hunter would taken a moment to admire Isabella his heart would speed up a little then slow back down again.

"Okay so what about your sister?" Isabella asks scooting closer to Hunter to rest her head on his chest which makes him smile as he runs his fingers comfortingly through her hair, Isabella wasn't the only one who had noticed the change between them both.

"She's found out about you, I tried to keep it quiet because she can be a bit... much lets say and I wanted you to feel comfortable here before she came bounding home but any ways she's found out and she is on her way home - I just wanted to warn you" he explains 

"It's her home, you don't need to tell me, it's okay" Isabella smiles resting her chin on Hunter's chest so she can look up at him

"It's your home too plus she has something to tell me" he grimaces 

"And?" Isabella giggles, what could be so bad?

"Isabella, she has a bad reputation. Leila isn't at the pack because my dad thought she gave us a bad name so he sent her to France to go to a nun school" he says stifling a laugh that she had to go and not him

"A nunnery? That must suck" Isabella grimaces at the thought

"She lasted 3 days there before running away, she ran away a total of 18 times in 7 months before even the women of God gave up on her so Dad told her he didn't want her back" Hunter explains but chuckles at the horrified look on Isabella's face - although she was treated so poorly there is usually a strong connection between real parents and their children particularly in the werewolf world so she couldn't understand why their dad told his daughter he didn't want her back 

"Oh don't look like that Bella, of course he wanted her back but he wanted to scare her a little by thinking that she was on the brink of being rogue, thought it would straighten her up a little, make her grow up - so he punished her by sending out thousands of pounds out too her and her own personal body guard" Hunter says rolling his eyes and shaking his head

"Some punishment" Isabella said wishing she has been sent away to do as she pleased 

"Exactly, now she wonders around the world as she pleases, spending the packs money - mum and dad have even bumped into her in their travels" Hunter says in an almost jealous tone but why wouldn't he? All of his family have been able to do as they want, his sister will have never been too important so she was always free to do what she wanted and now his mother and father were only former Alpha and Luna - sure they would help out if needed by they didn't need to be at the pack any more so they could go out and travel while Hunter was stuck being the most powerful Alpha in the werewolf world, he couldn't even go on a holiday - if he went on a trip it would be business, not to relax.

"You don't regret being Alpha though right?" Isabella asks and Hunter looks as though he is hurt by that question

"Of course not. I wouldn't change it for the world and my - our time will come when we can travel and leave the kids behind" he smirks while Isabella's eyes widen with fear... kids?

"So now do you understand why I'm worried? Announcements from Leila are never good. Wouldn't surprise me if she got herself pregnant" Hunter spits, the black look of anger taking over his eyes.

-

"Brother dearest" came a small, almost innocent sounding voice. Isabella and Hunter turn around at the same time to see a small framed, blonde haired, beautiful girl stood in front of them. There was no doubting the family resemblance between them despite some of the larger differences. Leila had heavy make up even though anyone could tell that she didn't need it and underneath it Isabella could see that it was just a girl looking for attention and if that attention had to be bad then so be it.

"Leila" Hunter replies with a curt nod, Isabella couldn't grasp why he was being so formal with his own flesh and blood despite why he had told her.

"I'm Isabe..." Isabella starts but is cut off

"Isabella, hiya" Leila smirks roughly pulling her into a tight hug 

"Careful" Hunter growls 

And so it begins.
