"AM. YOUR. MATE" she said and passed out. Before she could hit the ground Hunter caught her. The information was too big for her to process. Just a moment ago Hunter was the guest of honor at the party hosted by the vampire. He was bored, and everyone trying to be on his good side made the party lame. When Jacob gave him the suit to wear, he admitted he looked in it. He wished he would be able to show himself to his mate. Even with him being the most powerful being, he never predicted today to be the day he would let her know she is his mate.
"Hmmm." Hunter scoffed as he remembered that he was speaking with Jacob when he sensed his mate. He had made up his mind earlier to let Isabelle know she was his mate but he never knew it would be sooner than later. He looked at the vampires' bodies laying around and sighed.
Hunter carried Isabelle and laid her beside a tree then came back and incinerated the vampires, he didn't want people knowing. He made a mental note to ask Jacob why he was unable to smell them. When he first sensed Isabelle, he was supposed to sense the ones pursuing her but he didn't sense anything. He only senses the danger because of her emotions. He remembered that people would be worried because he was too fast for them to see when he ran away. To them it would be like disappearing, even the royals would have a hard time seeing his movement. Sensing the fear of his mate, he ran out faster than he usually would. Moments like these are what make Hunter glad to be powerful. He decided to pass a message to Jacob telling him he was alright, that he should cover for him, and he agreed.
Jacob who was already bored of the party used the opportunity to leave after announcing that Hunter has retired for the night. After the announcement, everybody wore a gloomy face since none of them was able to earn a favor from Hunter. Jacob knew the party would soon come to an end as the main reason for the party was gone. He left the part with a smile.
After sending the message to Jacob, Hunter decided it was time to leave because he would want her to wake up here. He carried her and ran to his favorite place, he made sure not to wake her, and in order to do that, he didn't actually run but skipped. The lake behind his house was his favorite spot and that was where he brought Isabelle. It was a night with the moon shining, it made it beautiful. He laid her in a comfortable position waiting for her to wake up. Hunter took his time to look at her. The black hood she was wearing covered her part but her face and hand were on display.
"She is beautiful." Hunter ran my hands on her face and marveled at the smoothness and softness. She is really beautiful, Hunter can't stop thanking the moon goddess for giving her to him.
A few minutes passed and he was still staring at her as she slept. She twitched her nose once in a while and it is by far the cutest thing Hunter had seen. She stirred and opened her eyes and Hunter was already looking at her. They stayed still and enjoyed the moment till she spoke
"Why?" she asked. Hunter knew the best option was to tell her everything.
"When I woke up from my slumber it was because you were in danger, so I had to come to your rescue, but as I was reading people's minds I read Silas and it was pretty convincing that you guys loved each other. I decided not to show you what I am to you."
"Why did the matchmaker choose me as your mate. I am a weak human, and I can only make you weak." she said and Hunter could sense her sadness. He never wanted to her sad.
"No man is invincible, we all have our weaknesses and I am glad you are mine." They say a man is as strong as his weakness and Hunter couldn't have asked for any other weakness. If Isabelle knew how long he had waited for her. "You're not just my weakness, you are my strength also." Of course she is.
Isabelle raised her hands and touched Hunter's cheeks and it gave him goosebumps. Hunter leaned to her touch with his eyes closed. He wasn't a saint and has had many encounters with women, mostly as a means to bear his loneliness and forget the longing for a mate. Now a touch from her was enough to wipe away all the times he had with those females and even hated herself for it
"My ADONIS," she said, her voice so gentle. Before Hunter could open his eyes and reply she leaned forward and gave him an earth-shattering kiss.
Hunter gasped and she used the opportunity to deepen the kiss. His shock only lasted for a moment. He also returned the kiss and they both kissed with much hunger as if their lives depended on it. They were trying to convey their feelings through this one single kiss. It was not possible but that didn't stop them from trying. Hunter carried her up with their lips still locked and she wrapped her legs around him. Hunter walked to the lake and they both got drenched and Isabelle stiffened.
"What?" Hunter asked as he broke the kiss
"Cold, the lake is cold," she said as she let out a little shiver. Hunter didn't notice, since he is supernatural, he has a high resistance to cold.
"Do you want to see a trick?" He asked and she nodded. She has always waited to hear such words from Silas. Hunter placed his palm on the water and made it warm, from the look in her eyes he knew she was impressed.
"For the second time, you impressed me....mate." Hunter felt like the word mate sounded so much better in her month "The first is when you open the door with your mind and now this"
Now all Hunter could think of was to impress her. "What's your favorite color?"
"Pink" she answered. Hunter chuckled then raised his hands and looked at the sky. Hunter made pink stars fall and that left Isabelle mesmerized. Hunter learned ages ago that he could make people see his imagination. It was illusion magic, other wizards need spells to perform it but all Hunter needed to do was think about it. The water was serving as a connection between them. Isabelle giggled as the stars falls around her, Hunter felt the burning desire to capture this moment forever. He knew the stars were just an illusion but he could see it clearly as the day and Isabelle's laughter was such a sweet melody
