THE HUNTERS

Mate

Rohan POV

I left my mate in my room for a couple of minutes to grab some food for Cairo and me because I didn't want to send him and have my members questioned his visit.

Despite not wanted to leave my mate, I had to get the food for us. However, I did not anticipate Cairo to follow me to the kitchen. After grabbing the tray I mind linked our chef to prepare for me, I turned around and came face to face with Cairo.

I was shocked to see him standing there, looking at everything like they were normal, and surprised by them because there were some pack members on their wolves forms running around. If not anything he rather looked fascinated by them. I was guessing it was okay since his twin sister was a witch, he might be a warlock too.

I told Cairo to wait for me in the packhouse conference room while I went to check on his sister. Surprisingly, she was awake when I got there and a little trouble maybe by her surrounding but Mikael reminded me of something, the pictures.

I had a framed sketch of her in my room along with my family. If you did not guess it by now, my mate was in my room, laying on my bed the world time.

“Where am I? What did the hell happen? And where is my brother?” were the first questions she hit me with the moment I opened the for and can't face to face with her.

I sighed, walked past her, and gestured for her to sit on the bed while I took a seat on the chair next to it.

“You are my packhouse, in my bedroom to be precise. Your brother is in the conference room waiting and what happened is that you walk on a crossfire and you got hurt.” I answered as sweetly as u can.

Thanks to Mikael, I could seem to take my eyes off of her. I tried to look elsewhere to diminish the awkwardness but it was a hard job and Mikael that was making me saying “love” at the end of each answer was too much and corny.

She glared at me and said, “I know I was hit by a fireball? What I am asking is what happened afterward because my memory is a little blurry.”

I took a deep breath and explain to her everything that happened. Started with her witch powers surfaced, her kicking the demon's ass, her brother totals surprised face by seeing her supernatural ability, her fainting right using her ability to where were right now. I told her how I think she was a human at the beginning only to be wronged at the end.

The whole time she was looking at me as I grew a second head. What is wrong now? Did I offend it somehow or there is something wrong with my face?

“What do you mean by literally on fire? Of course, I am a human. I was only cursed by your kind.” she yelled

She was taken aback by what I said to her about being a human. I assumed her yelling was a little louder than she intended it to be because she was a little startled when her brother budged into my room, went to her side, and asked me “ what did you do to her? Why is she yelling?”

“I will never hurt her Cairo. She relaxed man.” I said to her brother and “ my love my kind can't curse you only a witch or warlock can do that.” I added while looking straight at her.

She informed me that she knew my kind couldn't put the curse on her since we were werewolf but she was referring to every supernatural kind in general. I am guessing, calling her my love repeatedly did not sit well with her because she ask me to stop calling her that since she was not and to call her by her name which I was glad to know now that was Jaira.

I smiled and informed her that I would call her Jaira but she was indeed my love. I did not know if she chose to ignore me or giving up because she only glared at me and turned to her brother.

Danm her name was as beautiful as she is. Even why the angry look on her face, she was stunning. Michael was rather pleased by our mate's feistiness because he was all giddy in my head and act like a little lovesick puppy too.

After a long staring but Cairo and Jaira which I presumed maybe was their twin way to communicate without a word because Cairo said they should go to their aunt for more info about Jaira situation.

The idea of her leaving didn't please me one bit. I sternly told her that she was not leaving now that I finally found her. She was not one of the women that someone could order around because she sternly replied to me that her leaving was not up to no one but hers only. Because of that, we had a mini argument between us and I was happy that Cairo stayed out of it. But during the whole argument, she did not once say that she did want to stay, just she had to leave to find more about herself and her aunt was to one holding the information maybe.

Nevertheless, we both decided that I could tag along and we went down out of my room to the welcoming area of the pack. While walking out of the packhouse I could clearly see some pack members which confusing looks because not everyone knew Jaira was there, they might see Cairo when he came downstairs but Jaira no. But some of them were giving her some stung look and those were some girls but Jaira could be careless. She walked with her head hell high and a little closer to me if someone asked me or maybe it was just my desire for her to do it.

We met my beta Micah at the door. He wanted to go with us but I stopped him because Mikael told me the conversation we would have at my mate's house would be a private one. But I informed him to be in charge in my absence because I didn't know when would I or us be back.

Cairo was a Dominic Toretto behind the wheel. We only took 50 minutes together to their house when the travel time would take longer in a regular driving like 1h30 or so.

My mate didn't wait for the car to park properly to get out of it. I was thinking the matter was deeper than I thought. She walked straight to the backyard where a because woman was relaxing. I thought she was their mom, but no. in fact, she was the aunt. The moment the woman saw us she questioned her why she brought me along by referring to me as one of my kind. And strictly asked for her brother.

However, when she took a good look at Jaira she asked a different question like what happened to her or if she was okay. But my mate answered with a question of her own, “that is exactly what I want to know?” she told her everything that happened and everything I told her.

The aunt's facial expression automatically change by what my mate said and that only meant that she knew something but hid it for the twins. From that moment on, I could feel the tension rising between us. The aunt was still quiet maybe she was gathering her thought before answered any questions but I could tell Jaira was running out of patients and did I.

Then I took the initiative to ask her to talk to us because the anxiety, anger, and curiosity were killing us.

She started by saying it was not her ideas and told us everything started before the twin's birth. After she muttered that sentence I could see Jaira turned pale like all her blood suddenly drain from her and a disappointment was plastered on her beautiful face.

The aunt whom I learned her name was Melianna said sorry to both Jaira and Cairo but the revelation was maybe too much for my mate or maybe was not completely recover from the demon blow because she fainted again.

After she woke up, I was by her side in her beautiful room. I should say that her room was different from mine, I guessed it was because she was a girl and me a boy. Her room was very lighted. Her wall was painted with a lavender color and every decoration was silver.

When she opened her eyes, her aunt, Cairo, and I were beside her. I was the first to see thy she was awake. I came closer and whispered, “my love, you awake. Please stop fainting and don't think I can stomach the third one today, my love.” I said that as sweetly as possible I could.

She asked for water and reminded me that her name was still Jaira and should stop calling her my love. I was about to answer but her aunt beat me to it by saying I could not help it and it was the mate bond’s fault. She also asked my mate to change her burn clothes to join us in their living room because exit the bedroom.

I stayed behind a couple of minutes to look at her longer big I was not expecting Jaira sarcasm when she said that I should have a memory picture now or of I was waiting for a grand show. I just smiled at her and exist her room too.

In the living room, the aunt told of some of the stories which I barely heard a thing because my focus was solely on Jaira. I snapped out of it when Cairo said laughingly that I would drill a hole on her with the intensity of my stare. Yet again the aunt saved but telling them that I was Jaira’s mate.

“Mate,” said Jaira
