Chapter 34

“Because I want you to feel comfortable,” Hunter replied honestly. He put down the bag, which contained. with Lilac’s belonging on the bed, while she looked around her bedroom. “You will get more beautiful room than this in my pack”

Lilac stopped in her track and turned around to face Hunter. Tell me now why do you want to take me to your pack?” she couldn’t help with her curiosity because it felt so weird for someone to treat her so nicely without wanting anything back. “Why am I to you?”

Hunter grinned. “Why? Losing your patience?” He shook his head. “This is not the time to tell you about it. Be patience and I will let you know one day.”

Lilac was not satisfied with the answer. What kind of answer was that? He only dodged the question.

“Do you have some bad ulterior motive?”

Hunter approached Lilac and pinched her cheek, until she swatted his hand away. He became so touchy with her and with this proximity, she was afraid he would k*ss her again, thus she took three steps back, thankfully, this bedroom was spacious enough for her to retreat.

“Don’t worry, I will not torture you like you imagined. I will not do such horrendous thing to my guest.”

Hunter crossed his arms in front of his chest, as he smiled at her. “And with your question about what you are to me… Well, you can say for the meantime, you are my favorite person.”

Lilac frowned to hear such answer. “What is that mean?

“Someone that I consider special.”

“How so? This time, it was Lilac, who raised her brows and stared at him in disbelieve. This man was talking whatever he wanted to say without even thinking, now she wondered how he could lead his people with his carefree nature.

All the alphas that she had ever met or the future alpha of the pack, had the same demeanor like alpha James, they would look very serious and wouldn’t take every conversation lightly, as if they were joking all the time like what Hunter did.

Therefore, it was hard for Lilac to comprehend what was in Hunter’s mind.

“Because I like you enough to exchange you with those worthless prison war.” Hunter chuckled when Lilac sighed deeply, thinking he was spouting nonsense with the way he talked with her He let her to think whatever she wanted and then walked toward the door. “This is night already, you need to get some sleep, we will leave for my pack tomorrow morning.”

However, before Hunter could leave, Lilac stopped him. “Alpha Hunter, please wait for a while.”

Hunter stopped in his track and turned around. “What is it? Do you want a good night k*ss?” he teased and Lilac rolled her eyes defiantly, something that you shouldn’t do in front of the alpha, luna Jasmine would have reprimanded her if she did that.

But for some odd reason, Lilac felt comfortable enough to do so with Hunter, she didn’t fear him at this moment, neither she was afraid she would get a punishment for her action. She did that subconsciously, Can I go for a while? I want to see Aria” Lilac had not yet informed her friend about her departure tomorrow morning and she didn’t want to leave without saying anything nor a goodbye with her.

“What a coincidence, just now my warrior said there is a girl named Aria wanted to see you.”

“Really?” A smile blossomed on her l*ps. “Where is she? I will go to see her.”

“Unfortunately, my warrior has chased her away, so you can meet with her tomorrow morning.”

The smile plummeted almost immediately, leaving a deep crease between Lilac’s brows when she heard that.

“Alpha Hunter, I will go for a while and see her, okay? I will go with you tomorrow morning and probably will not see this pack for a few months.”

“A few months? You will never return to this pack,” Hunter corrected her in a matter of fact tone. Once Lilac was in his pack, there was no way he would let her go again.

Hearing that, Lilac tried to keep her expression straight, though it couldn’t hide the sadness in her eyes.

and Hunter could see that.

“In that case, why don’t you let me meet with my friend? I have been living here in my whole life and I will never return, at the very least, let me enjoy this moment.”

“Your whole life? Are you sure you were born in this pack?”

Lilac didn’t know what Hunter meant with that, but because she didn’t want to argue with this alpha, she chose not to aggravate him.

“Please. I have nowhere to go. Where I will runaway?”

Hunter thought about that for a while and the look that Lilac gave to him didn’t help, he couldn’t refuse her plea.

“Fine, but you must return to this mansion before midnight.” Hunter said sternly. It was a rare moment when he looked very serious, but Lilac was too happy to notice that.

“Okay, okay!” Lilac immediately rushed toward the door, but before she could walk past him, he grabbed her elbow to stop her.

“Remember to return before midnight.” He emphasized this one more time.

“Okay.” It was only three more hours before midnight, it was enough time to say goodbye and have a chat with Aria. “Can I go now?”

Without any other choice, Hunter let her go and then watched she actually jumped the two stairs at the same time when she rushed toward the entrance door to catch up with her friend.

“Why do you take her back to the pack?” Darren asked Hunter, he was the beta of the pack and even so, he was clueless with his alpha’s impulsive decision to make such an exchange. “Do you think she is worth it?” He was clueless.
