Chapter 17 - Do You Love Me

Bella's Pov

First thing in the morning hunter came over asking to see me even though Paige tried to protest she knew she couldn't go against the Alpha King.

"Come home with me. I need to talk with you." bella nibbled her lip debating her options.

What's the harm in going with him?

He broke my heart.

Don't let him inside.

"Okay,"she said, folding her arms under her breasts. He reached out to touch her.

Bella pulled away. "I don't want you touching me. I can't handle it."

He closed his hand into a fist.

"Fine." They walked side by side toward his house. The night air was cold. She tried to supress the shivers working up her body. "I can keep you warm," he said.

Staring at his open his arm was too much temptation. She let him enfold her in his embrace.The heat of his body warmed her up instantly.

"I'Il always warm you, baby."

She tensed,which caused him to sigh.

"I made a mistake."

Shaking her head, Bella walked with him in silence.

They didn't encounter any of the pack on their way to his home. Hunter opened the door for her. She went in. The heat of his home replaced his arms.

"Make yourself at home."

He left her for several minutes. She took a seat on the sofa.

Within the small time he'd been touching her, her body had heated.

You still want him even though he picked another woman.

Fool!

"Here you are." Hunter came around the corner. He carried a steaming mug and a plate of bread. "I'm not much of a cook as you know"

"its fine" she said, taking the food he offered. He sat beside her. His thigh pressed against hers. Bella took her time eating. She didn't want to talk to him. His presence was affecting her nerves.

You can do this. Be strong.

"I know you don't want to talk to me," hinter said. He rubbed his hands together. Elle kept eating. "There is so much shit going on. I shouldn't have kept any of it from you. I fucked up big time.I never expected to have a omega for a mate."

She lowered the cup then let out a sigh. "I'm tired of you blaming my being a omega I'm an omega, Hunter you knew that from the onset I tried to stop you mating with me, remember? You were determined to claim me, not the other way around."

"You don't know what this is like for me. I need to keep you safe. You're my lifeline, Bella. I couldn't handle anything happening to you. I need to be the alpha King and having an omega as a luna doesn't cut it"

Bella stared at him in shock. Was he really saying those things to her? "You're saying you're superior to omega's because of your ability to feel?"

"Of course. We're far more powerful than omega's bella."

She laughed, amazed he'd say such a thing. "I can't believe l'm hearing this."

Putting her food down on the floor Elle stood. "I'm done hearing this shit."

He got up following her."You can't leave."

Whirling round she pointed a finger at him. "How dare you say I'm not fit to be by your side because am an omega. I'm capable of being the Luna of this pack

He chuckled. "Bella, that's not possible."

Hunter made to speak, but she put her hand up. Bella lowered down her walls. She allowed him to get the full force of her feelings.

He paused, staring at her wide-eyed.

"Im your mate but you went into the arms of another woman, Hunter. You chose Naomi of all people over me. Can you feel how painful that is? Can you imagine what it would be like if I went to another man?" She waited for her words to sink in.

"I gave myself to you.I lowered down everything because you asked me to, and how do you repay me? You push me aside. Do you even love me?" Bella asked

She waited for his response. Staring at him, she waited for him to react or to give her something.

Nothing happened spinning on her heel,Bella headed for the door.
