Soulmates to the wolf

Chapter 21

Hunter Black
I had just changed my clothes behind the bushes when I saw a figure lurking in the shadows of the trees. J tried to follow it but lost track of it. Sighing I went back to my mate ams found her already sitting on the neatly spread picnic blanket with the food spread out in front of her. She was sipping on some water when I walked upto her and sat down on the blanket, close to her at a distance where I wasn't touching her but her scent was strong.
"This place is gorgeous" She said
"I know, it was my favorite place, my parents used to bring me here every week and we would spend the afternoon sitting on the grass, swimming, fishing and playing tag. We also let our wolves out and ran around freely" I said remembering the time when mom. And dad would bring me here, make me smile and I was able to enjoy life as a free child with no responsibility
"It must have been hard coping with their death... I mean you hardly got the time to grieve their death before you became alpha" She said
"It was. I am still not over there death. Every now and then when the door opens I think that they might just walk in through the doors and embrace me. When they died, I was hardly 7, I was crowned alpha and suddenly a ton of responsibilities was shouldered upon me.  I hardly had an hour to process what was happening I was told not to cry ,not to show my weakness and appear tough and fierce all the time. I was told to be intimating to all the other alpha's. They all used to look  down at me and say that it's just a seven year old, what harm could be done by him. But I was determined to show them that I was fit to be an alpha. I worked day and night, understanding the duties of alpha and then one day I finally succeeded.  Now all the other packs alphas are scared of me. "I said staring at the lake. I was lost in my thoughts when I felt her gently squeeze my shoulder. I turned to her with a small smile, greatful for the little support and strength she was providing
"Your parents must be proud of you" She said
"You think so? "I asked and she nodded.
We sat there in silence and then
"Don't you have any siblings? " She asked and I nodded. Am evil one.
"I had a brother" I said
"Had? What happened? Where is he now? " She asked
"I killed him" I said looking away from her
"Killed him! But why" She asked shocked.
"Because he was the one who tortured you and assaulted you" I said angrily, remembering the lifeless form of her and how weak she was, my wolf got angry and growled.
"You mean... Daniel was your brother? " She asked. I think she was shocked and scared. Did she think I was just like him?
"Yes" I said
"I am sorry" She said. But what for? Was she blaming herself for his death?
"Hey! It's not your fault. It was his own. I had clearly told him that he was only meant to torture the hunter and not assault them. He agreed but then he went back to his old ways" I said
"Old ways? Has he done this before" She asked and I nodded
I remembered the day I came home from a long day at the pack grounds, only to hear a woman screaming in his room. I quickly ran to his room and saw how bruttly my brother had tortured her and was now forcing himself on her. I recognised the girl, she was from the rogues
"She was tresspassing the grounds and deserved a punishment" Said Daniel, as he straddled her. She was crying.
"I think she has been punished enlufhy, stop forcing yourself on her" I said
"Why pity her" He asked
"She may be a rogue but no one deserves to be raped" I said grabbing his neck and pushing him off.
"Rosyln... Take this girl to the pack doctor, patch her up and lock her in the cellers" I said
"Yes alpha" She said
The girl looked up at me and nodded, grateful to have been save from being g raped
"Daniel never try that again" I said angrily
"But why"
"Punishment does not mean you can force yourself on them" I said
"Fine" He said with an attitude before leaving me in his room

"Can we please leave this topic... I am not comfortable talking about it" I said looking away
"Of course" She said "hungry? " Sbe asked
"Very" I replied. She took out two paper plates and placed the cheese sandwiches on both the plates and then placed some fruit in the plates as well before handing me one
"Bon appetit" She said. And I smiled.
We ate in silence pondering over our thoughts. Me and Daniel used to be very close and after our parents death we became closer. We used to do everything together. Elena was a motherly figure to both of us. But soon we started to drift away and it all started because of that one incident. Even after that he continued to do the same things forcing me to lock him in cellers, best him etc. I could never come to exile him or kill him. That day when I saw what he had done to my mate, I knew he crossed his line, I killed him... And was not even 1 percent guilty. It is as if I never had a brother. Simple. Say whatever, lizzy is no where to be blamed for Daniels death.
When Elena learned that I killed himnshe was angry but the reasons I gave justified the act. I told her never to mention his name to lizzy, I didn't want her to know this truth. Today I felt like inhad to be honest with her.. I had to let it out... The hidden truth of my brother was eating me up slowly and that why I told her about him.
A while after I was watching her state at the sea and at that moment I couldn't hold it anymore and I told her my feeling. I was nervous but I had to let it out.
"You know... Meeting you was one reason that I realised that I could have a life. All this while I was a lifeless alpha, who inly did things because of duty. When I met you I realised that I could actually be vulnerable and show my weakness to you. You're the only one who has the ability to fix me. Elizabeth Grayson.... I love you" I said. I wasn't expecting an answer,I knew she needed time
"I don't expect you to say anything yet... But I just wanted you to know... How I felt" I said and she nodded and then turned to me
"Hunter... I accept you as my mate. " She said. I was stunned, silent for a while... Slowly a small smile spread on my lips. Was she telling the truth. My wolf lurred happily.
"You mean it.... I mean u actually accept me as your mate? " I asked  just to be sure I heard it right and she nodded
"I Elizabeth clara Grayson, accept Hunter John Black as my mate whim I shall cherish and protect for the rest of my life" She said. I felt teses form in my eyes. I was so happy. Words can not describe the feeling. I leaned down to hug her, tightly
"I was expecting a kiss after that" Shesaid and I pushed her away to stare in her eyes, to find out whether she was joking kr was serious and what I saw was lure love and seriousness, grinning I pressed my lips to hers.it was gentle, the kiss expressed sll the unspoken words. Her moans just made me kiss her more. Me and my wolf were both happy. The pack got a luna, I got a mate, what else did we need in life?
"I love you" I whispered, hairbreadth away from her lips, which were a little plump
"I love you" She said and I smiled and kissed again.
We walked hand in hand, her head resting on my shoulder back to the cotteg I mean it wasn't far, it was walking distance. I know I told her otherwise but I had no choice, my wolf wanted to jabe her close and the only way i knew was, wolf riding.
We reached the house and laid down on the bed. The freaking cat, thank gods, went to Elena's room and slept there. Good kitty. I mindlinked Ethan and told him to get our pack room ready
"Your luna has accepted me and the pack today, it's celebration time. Plan a party for next week for your luna, it's celebrations in the pack" I said
"Congrats alpha, will plan a surprise party. Tommorow what time do we leave for shopping? " He asked
"3pm" I said
"Okay alpha, anything else" He asked
"No, good night" I said
"Night alpha"
Tomorrow was another eventful day. She was truly destined to be the soulmate to the wolf, my wolf
