Chapter20
“I was breathing in when she waked past, hard to miss it when she was so close” I stated with a shrug, keeping my voice casual causing them all to shrug before nodding. I stifled the sigh of relief that wanted to escape me, thank god they weren’t that educated on female
shifters
“Stacy, what happened?” Hunters alpha command filled the room causing me to shiver, god he sounded so husky…yummy!
“I don’t know” she mumbled in a strained voice, the alpha command obviously setting in. “I was going to my house when I saw the flames, I thought it was a good opportunity to get back at that bitch!” she hissed as she pointed at me causing my brows to raise, lovely. “Get back at her for what?” my brother asked confused, I had an idea of where she was going with this but I kept quiet and observed. “For stealing you from me!” Stacy screamed causing the guys to cringe back at the volume, hell even my ears were ringing slightly and I was sitting across the hall.
“OMG, she lost it” I heard Kelly whisper, I couldn’t help but agree.

“We will deal with this later Stacy, and for the record I am not yours!” Hunter growled out causing my wolf to viciousness in it, hello Mr Big Bad Wolf…grure!
“But, but…”
her eyes
“That’s an order!” he continued to snarl out c causing her to lower her head in a submissive gesture as she showed her neck. showing how much she loathed the action but her wolf forcing her to do so, I wanted to roll my eyes, did she not know when to give in and accept that she needed to back down? Fool!
“Yes alpha” she whimpered before running from the room, gossip and whispers spreading around the canteen as the tense atmosphere was lifted, even if I happened to be the sudden talk of the school again as everyone debated on whether or not I was actually the cause or not of the fire and if not who was.
I watched as Hunter walked towards me, his eyes shifting from nervousness to worry. The worry confused me, what did he have to be worrying about?
“I’m sorry”
he immediately whispered as he sat next to me, what the hell was he on?
“For what?” I couldn’t help but ask, I was curious to what he thought he had to be sorry for
“For jumping to conclusions and thinking it was you” he stated causing me to frown. “I know it’s not though, the more I think of it the more I know that it wasn’t” he continued to whisper, obviously not wanting the pack to hear him apologising. I didn’t take offence, he was the alpha and the fact not only was he apologising but he was being honest and confiding in me I couldn’t help but forgive him almost instantly. Fuck he had my inner walls crumbling so fast it was giving me a headache!
“Thank you” I whispered as I moved closer to him, pressing my lips to his cheek causing delicious sparks to erupt form the both of us. causing our wolves to purr in delight.
“For what?” he asked, obviously confused to why I wasn’t shouting at him like he had clearly expected when he had walked over. “For being honest, for apologising, for having faith in me. You can choice which reason you like I smiled causing a relieved expression to form on his face as his eyes brightened at my comment. It was clear my reaction was what he had been worried about.
“You are amazing” be laughed as he pulled me onto his lap, his head nuzzling my neck as the tension was broken.
“Sorry Zoe, really I just…” Josh started, the guilt in his eyes and the look he was receiving from Hannah clearing making him want to relieve some of the guilt he was feeling.
it’s fine Josh, you must have a good reason not to like rouges and I respect that.” I waved off causing him to look at me in a new light; I rolled my eyes not wanting to know what was causing the boy to look so bloody conflicted.
“You are perfect” I heard Hunter whisper and it was right then I heard his feelings for me. His love, his hope, his adoration and I knew I had to come clean. I just hoped he took the whole sifter thing in his stride. Fingers crossed though that I actually had the guts to tell him, he would be the first to know after all but that’s not what worried me.
