Hunted At Nightfall by Tianna Arwood (jenna bush book club .txt) 📖

He still slept. If I couldnt feel him breathing, I would've assumed he was dead. "AIDEN!!!" I shouted and poked his cheek. He slowley opened his eyes as if someone hadnt just yelled in his face to wake him. "Oh, so shouting is the trick to wakeing you up? Noted. A freakin' bulldoser wouldn't wake you up."

 

"Whats wrong," he asked, and brought me back to the reason for waking him up. Realizing just how close together we were, I blushed.

 

"Um---I couldnt get up," I said while gesturing to his arm still around my waste. Seeming to just have noticed it, he lifted it up. "Thanks."

 

"Yeah sorry," he said getting up. "I must have fallen asleep here last night," As Aiden moved the covers and got out of bed, I noticed for the first time that he was wearing only boxers. He walked to the door," You want some breakfast before you go?" He turned back to look at me.

 

"Yeah sure," I said and got out of the bed to follow him.

Aiden's POV

 I listened as her light foot steps followed me out of the room. She was so gracefull as she walked, hell, even in her sleep she was like an angel. The night before when I woke to her screams I couldn't get to her fast enough. 

I was hesitant in asking if she wanted me to stay, but when she accepted, my wolf howled in approval. It took her only seconds to drift back to sleep, and once she did I knew I should leave but couldnt bring myself to do it. Instead, I slid down into the covers next to her and only planned to stay for a moment longer. That was until she pushed back into me, her ass pushing into my groin. I muffled a groan and moved to get up, stopping short only when she wimpered in her sleep. I curled up around her once more and drifted off into sleep seconds later. She'd woken me up two other times in her sleep by pushing back into me and by the third time I fell asleep I was so hard it hurt.

 

The object of my arousle was now watching me intently as I shuffled through the fridge for breakfast. I could feel her eyes burning into me, making me very aware of every move I made. I cleared my throat to speak.

"What woukd you like?" I asked turning to her.

"I'm fine with whatever. I'm not really picky," she said with a smile.

"Ok, bacon and eggs it is," I said and got to work.

 

As I moved around the kitchen, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of my mate sitting only a few feet from me, watching as I cooked for her. Glancing at her every few minutes I wondered if she too felt the pull between us. One thing that did surprise me though was her boldness. Anytime I caught her staring she wouldn't look away like other females tend to do, she would just smile, and I caught myself smiling as well. I handed Violet her plate and we sat down to eat. 

 

"So, what do you do for a living?" she asked looking up at me.

"I, uh, fix things."

"Anything you fix in particular?" she asked with a smile.

"No not really. I like fixing things. I like seeing how they work, what makes them tick," I looked up to see her watching me very intently. "What?"

 

"Nothing it's just-," she was cut off bye the front door opening loudly.

 

"Dude you would not believe the hunt we just had! Anya attacked that deer like the crazy bitch she is and--," My best friend, Sam, stopped short just noticing Violet sitting across from me. His eyes roamed her half naked body with admeration. "Damn, who's that?" He asked with a smirk. My wolf growled and Sam immediatly took a step back and lowered his head, a sign of his submission. We'd been best friends our entire lives, but I'm still alpha and he accepts his place. 

I turn to Violet. "Violet this is my best friend Sam. He clearly has no manners, but we all love him anyway. Sam, this is Violet, I ran into her last night and let her wait out the storm." Sam continued to watch her intently. 

 Violet offered her hand to him. "Nice to meet you Sam," She turned to me once again. "I can walk home if you guys have something planned." She said giving her sweet smile.

"No, it's perfectly fine. I can give you a ride, we didn't have anything planned. In fact we hardly ever do, he just shows up whenever he's bored."

"Well, if you're sure it's ok."

"I am. Why don't you go get dressed and then we can go. I washed your cloths and set them on my dresser."

"Ok," as she was headed back to the hall that leads to my room, she was cut off by Anya, a panther shifter. She was wearing a gimpy little dress that barely made it to her thighs. She'd obviously randomly threw something on after their hunt. She eyed Violet just as Sam had, with the same hunger. But there was something else, she seemed to respect her before either of them had said a word. "Um, hi."

 

Anya gave her a sincere smile, "Hey I'm Anya and you are....?" She was looking at Violet with something that resembled...lust? No, it couldnt be, Anya's straight as an arrow. I realized that it was the same way Sam had looked at her. It was understandable why Sam would see her that way, but could Violet turn another woman gay? My eyes roamed over her curvy yet slim body. Yes, she could definitly turn any woman gay. Hell, she could make a gay man realize what he was missing.

Coming back to the conversation, I quickly answered for Violet.

"This is Violet, she's mine," everyone in the room turned to give me a funny look. "A friend---of mine... I was just about to drive her home."

 

"Ah, so Violet what brings you to Aiden's house? The only people who ever come here are me and Sam," Anya said with a sly smile.

Violet blushes as if getting an inside joke that Sam and I weren't in on. "Well I was walking home from a party when all of a sudden I was surrounded by wolves. It was kinda crazy." Anya perked up at the mention of wolves.

 "Oh God, were you hurt?"

"Yeah, I-- Oh my God," she turned to me. "Aiden, I completely forgot! My wrist." She looks down at her wrist to examain it. I'd forgotten too. I got up and walked around the table to look as well.

 

Sam cleared his throat, "Um, is there something we missed here?"

"Last night Violet had fallen and broke her wrist while trying to get away from the wolves. It's comepletely healed now. I--I dont understand. It's fine, just go and get ready to leave and then I'll take you home." Violet nodded and walked away.  When she turned into the room, both Sam and Anya turned to look at me suspiciously. "What?" I asked.

"What exactlu did you mean she was attacked by wolves," Sam asked. His eyes turned yellow with anger as his wolf got worked up.  "In going to kill whatever pack hurt her!"

I put my hands up, "Sam calm down. She's fine. What's gotten into you?" I asked giving him a glare.

Sam shook his head as if trying to shake the thoughts away. "I'm sorry I dont know what that was about. I feel very protective of her for some reason. I'm sorry, but I want to rip them to shreds."

"Well, starting war with other packs isnt the best idea right now. Then again I'm pretty sure they were rogues
