Hunter's Wolf

Chapter 011

Karen.

I woke up in an empty bed and began to panic. Although Oscar had given me his word, I didn't know him well enough to trust him. For all I thought, he could be out there negotiating with the werewolves on how and when to hand me over. I didn't know what to do. The house was in the middle of nowhere. There was no way I could outrun the werewolves if I tried to escape. I had to hope that I could trust Oscar.

I went out of the room to find the kitchen. I hadn't eaten for over twenty-four hours, and all the anxiety and making out had gotten me quite hungry. When I got to the kitchen, I found a lady there. She introduced herself as Riley, and she seemed nice. Riley sat at the counter eating a sandwich.

" You are up?" she asked with a smile, and I nodded.

" Hungry?" She asked, and I said yes.

She made a sub for me, and it was delicious. I left her and returned to Oscar's room to watch some television. I could not focus on what I was watching because I was worried about Oscar's intentions. The truth was he had no reason at all to protect me. There was no time that I wouldn't have to skip town.

I began to remember the things he had told me about my supposed relatives, and I got uncomfortable. Whatever powers they had, I did not have them, yet I was being hunted because I was related to them. I wondered what their power was. Oscar told me that a Hunter could match their strength and their skill, yet I was fragile compared to him, and he could easily snap me into two.

While deliberating on the issue, I came to a theory. I believed I had been dumped at the orphanage because I did not inherit their abilities. I was too ordinary to be a part of them. If that was the case, why dump me with my name. The person that dumped me did not make any effort in hiding my identity. They wanted me to be found. They wanted me to be hunted. They wanted me to get killed, they didn't want to do it themselves. They wanted the people after my family to do it. I might have been a sacrificial lamb to make the supernatural beings relax, then they would strike when they least expected it. They wouldn't be losing anything if I died. I did not inherit anything they had that made them special. I was doomed at conception.

I sat waiting patiently for Oscar. I had no other choice but to trust him. The truth was I knew he didn't have to defend me. He didn't have to carry me to run away. I think carrying me slowed him down. He didn't have to bring me to his house in the woods. All he had to do was let them get me at the apartment or hand me over in the woods. Yet he protected me all the way and still is. I shouldn't repay his kindness with insensitivity by running away. So I chose to stay put.

Riley came to join me in a bid to keep me company. I let her know that was thoughtful of her, and she smiled.

She sat very close to me, which made me uncomfortable. She moved closer to me and kissed me on my lips. I felt weird, and I began to think it was a werewolf thing. Were all werewolves horny, or did I just have an effect on them? Since Oscar wasn't around, I might as well explore. Therefore, I relaxed a bit.

She kissed me for a few seconds and then placed her hands on my boobs. I decided I needed to feel hers too. I touched them and squeezed. I became curious why Oscar liked them so much, so I took off her blouse and decided to feel them with my lips. I licked her n**ples and sucked on them a bit, and she moaned. I couldn't believe how good and arousing it felt, and then I heard someone clear his throat.

I moved away from Riley and saw Oscar standing. He had returned.

" Don't stop on my account, please, continue," he said and went to sit to watch. I became extremely shy. From the look on his face, he didn't find it funny at all. Had I just messed up big time out of curiosity and boredom?

Riley apologised and ran out, leaving me to face the consequences of our actions.

" I hadn't stepped out long, and the wolves descend," he stated with a distasteful tone, and I looked away with shame.

" It is as if you do not understand the terms of our contract, Karen. I am the only one that is allowed to do anything with you. Unless the other person is invited by me or permitted by me, they are not allowed. Are we clear on that." he said in a much harsher tone, and I nodded almost close to tears.

" I didn't mean to upset you, Oscar," I pleaded, knowing my condition " I was just bored and curious, and I wanted to learn for the sake of our agreement," I explained.

" Well, next time you feel that way, pick a book or watch a movie. Don't go making out with people." he scolded me and went to the bathroom.

There was a possibility I would have a difficult time with Oscar. He seemed to get angry easily and say hurtful things. I needed to develop a thick skin to survive him and my situation.

As soon as Oscar came out of the shower, he dressed up and came to sit next to me.

" I am a very jealous man, Karen. I don't like sharing. You have to bear with me on that." he said to me nicely and kissed my forehead.

Although he didn't know how to say he was sorry, he knew how to show remorse. Glad he told me now. I would have to be careful about how I related with people. I needed his protection, and I needed the peace that came with being around him for as long as possible until I knew what to do to save myself.

Dinner was served, and we ate. I was pretty hungry, and the meal was delicious. We finished eating, and the workers carried the dishes away.

"You have to always remain by my side at all times. The people that came after you have agreed to back down, but I don't know about the others. The only way I can protect you is if you remain with me at all times." he said, and I looked at him surprised. That must have been the reason why he didn't let me follow him. He must have gone to the people that attacked us to negotiate my safety.

"How long will your protection last?" I asked him, knowing our deal had an expiration date. Because although we were going to be having s*x, we had no feelings for each other, and I knew it would never amount to anything serious.

"Until our deal is off," he told me point-blank, and I rested on his chest a bit worried, but I hid it and said.

" I appreciate your kindness and your honesty."
