Chapter Six: Suspicious Kind of Love

Liam's P.O.V.

*Breakfast*

Here I was, waiting in this posh little breakfast nook angrier than the devil himself. Mei had called screaming in my ear at two a.m. because Caiden, oh that dumb bastard Caiden, went against my wishes. Yet I was the one being scolded like a child for not keeping my dog on a leash... fitting analogy for what I am about to do to him when I get home. I had a feeling he hadn't gone home though so I made sure to drag Quinn with me to breakfast in case he showed up again. I hadn't seen his Beta John in a few days or else I would have asked him. 

Mei and her 'fiance' were currently ten minutes late but Quinn and I were sipping on coffee talking about the plans for the gala. The bell chimed from the front door opening and we both tensed looking up at the both of them. Mei was of course as stunning as a newly blossomed orchid, but the guy that had his arm wrapped lazily around her waste just seemed like a badly matched accessory. I also notice that he is wearing his work uniform and I wrinkle my nose when I catch a whiff of cigarette smoke. Great kill yourself quicker human, less we have to worry about. He seemed to notice me sizing him up but he stood firm, his eyes never leaving my scrutinizing gaze.

"Hunter," Mei clears her throat, "this is my brother Liam, and I think you already know Mayor Quinn." Her words broke the awkward stare down as Hunters eyes instantly turn to Quinn, a warm smile spreading across his face instantly, "I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person but it is an honor to be having breakfast with the both of you."

'suck up,' I mind link Quinn and he manages to stifle a snicker. Hunter shakes both of our hands and I wanted to wash it instantly. "Pleasure is all mine officer Hunter, and might I add, you and your department are doing such a fine job keeping our little town in check!" Quinn praised. Hunter pulls the chair out for my sister and she sits down without a second thought. 'at least he is a gentleman.' Quinn mind linked to me. "Thank you Mayor, that means a lot," Hunter said before taking a seat right next to Mei. The waitress arrives shortly after they are seated to get their drink order. Mei goes to answer but Hunter orders for her, something she wouldn't let me do but let it slip with him?

"So, not to be rude Quinn, but how did my brother drag you out of your busy work schedule to have breakfast with us today?" she asks sounding a tad irritated but he just smirks at her, "are you kidding me, this guy owes me! Plus I am a southern gentleman, I will never refuse a hot meal!" Quinn lets out a friendly laugh and pats his stomach, but it seemed to make her relax slightly. "We'll I am glad you could join us, I swear you two are attached at the hip." I laugh, "he wishes!" We all start to relax soon reminiscing about the earlier days, the only plus side of getting older.

"So..." she trails off, "now that we have gotten the formalities out of the way I guess we should jump right in?" Hunter lets out a nervous chuckle, "perhaps we should at least get some food into our bellies before we start talking wedding bells." she gazes into his eyes lovingly and I want to gag. Come on Liam, I mentally scold myself, you can play nice during one simple breakfast.

"That's quite alright, after all, we are family." I look him right in the eyes with an emotionless face hoping he got the hint. "So, you asked my sister for her hand in marriage, yet I know nothing of you. Why don't you tell me a little bit of your background." I forced a smile on my face hoping it didn't look malicious, I really was in a foul mood. Call me old fashioned but the boyfriend normally wants to meet the others family before taking such a huge step.

"Fair enough," he nods, "well I was born and raised here, so I guess you could consider me a true local. My mother raised me on her own when my father lost his life in the line of duty. I guess that's why I wanted to follow directly in his footsteps and become a police officer. It's a dangerous job sometimes, but it means everything to me... Well besides my future bride." He grabs her hand and my eyes narrow to the ring on her finger. Hmmm.... Small for someone in a royal family but we were talking about a local boy here. Not that she really needed money, she had all of the money in the world to play with.

"Charming story, how is your mother now?" He tensed a little but not out of anger. "She passed away two years ago, a little under a year before I met Mei." Mei wraps her arm tightly around his shoulder trying to comfort him. "Sorry to hear that, my condolences." Quinn speaks up. "Yes, condolences. It is never easy losing a loved one." I nod in agreement, this guy was becoming harder and harder to hate.

"I guess I have one last question left for you though, and forgive me if I seem rude but, have you both talked about a prenup?" Mei shoots me a death glare 'how dare you!' she hisses at me through the mind link. 'Calm down and hear me out sister,' I reply sternly back. "What I mean is, Mei is very well taken care of by our family. Our father made sure that none of the Wang family would need to worry about a single thing. If you both truly wanted, you wouldn't have to work a single day in your life. That being said you can understand that I just want to make sure that you are not in it for.... Just the money."  He seems to stew on it for a bit but I was surprised with his reply.

"We won't need it anyhow." Hunter spoke before Mei could intervene, "my mom saved up quite a bit of money before she passed. I haven't touched a single dime of it, I live purely off my own job, which I love very much and am not going to quit anytime soon. I plan on becoming police chief and retiring like everyone else...." I could see he was thinking hard about what he was going to say next, "I do realize, however, Mei comes from a different background. So whatever she wants, and I mean WHATEVER she wants, I will provide for her or die trying."

Everyone fell silent, you would think that reply would make anyone back off. Hell it even looked like he had Quinn sold by the happy smirk he had on his face. It just felt like something seemed off about this guy, I was going to investigate further but for now I think I shouldn't push Mei's patience any longer.

"I am content on hearing that," I reply after a short pause. "I guess we should enjoy our breakfast though, I think that is enough interrogation for one day." and with that everyone quietly ate only exchanging small talk every once in awhile.

Mei's P.O.V.

*Back Home*

I ran straight into the living room as soon as we got home and grab the first decorative pillow I could find on the couch. "That asshole!" I yell and then let out a huge scream into the pillow. "Why does he have to act like that!?" I toss the pillow behind me and Hunter ducks barely dogging it. "I let him come down here to meet you and he goes and puffs out his chest like a dumb gorilla!"

I was pacing back and forth flinging my arms in different directions like a mad man. "I mean, I know he is doing it because he loves me but Jesus, did he have to act so repulsed!?" I left out a huff and Hunter pulls me hard against his chest. "You worry to much Mei, you are going to get crease lines on your forehead." He gently kisses in between my eyes. "Relax, I think it went well all things considered. Besides, It was the first time we met. I understand he has to put on the bad ass brother front, which by the way where is your father, shouldn't he be the one riding my ass?" I let out a nervous giggle, "uh, you will get to meet him one day but lets just say dad is going through this mid life crisis faze and mom is having to now babysit him for awhile." Yup, you heard right, after my dad passed down the Alpha position he has been partying like it was the sixties all over again, poor mom.

"Oh, send my apologies to your mother," he laughed and looked up at the large clock hung up above the mantle, "Well, I have to be at work soon sweetie. What do you plan on doing the rest of the day?" He asked. "Well, after the morning we've had I think I need to cool off before I talk to my brother. Maybe I'll go for a short hike to get some air." I smiled at him nuzzling my head in the crook of his neck, and like always he lets out a longing moan.

"Mei, behave or I will take you on this couch before I leave." I giggle playfully, "don't be late on my account sheriff" I winked up at him and his eyes roll up to the ceiling. "If you push one more button...." He trailed off, my body was screaming do it but my mind said we needed to wait till Liam was gone and I had Caiden under control. "Alright ya big oaf, go to work, but I'm still going to get my kiss." I grabbed onto the collar of his uniform and captured his lips to mine. His lips were almost too soft but I didn't mind the tenderness they brought. I pushed my body harder up against him igniting a slight need between in my core. I was so lucky to finally be with a human, he couldn't sense arousal like wolves could, and Caiden could always hear my heart race and blood pumping down to you know where. Like I said, things were just easier with Hunter.

Hunter was the first to pull back from our kiss, his gaze still holding lust. "If I stay any longer I wont leave and the chief will be up my ass for weeks about it." I frown playfully, "fine, leave me all hot and bothered, I guess I will have to finish the job myself." I wink at him and he bites his lip, "you drive me wild woman!" He shakes his head and gives me one last quick kiss. "Call me tonight before you go to bed, hopefully tonight will be my last night shift for the week." I nodded in agreement and off he disappeared.

Now, to cool off before I have another chat with brother dearest.

Author's Note:

Thank you for all my readers I hope you are enjoying the story! Don't forget to give a like and a follow so that you can stay up to date for the next chapter release!

How did you like Liams POV in this chapter?

What Do you think of Hunter? Love/Hate?

Clarification:

The prenup is to insure that if he tries to leave her he doesn't get a dime of there families money, but like he said they're 'family' and the werewolf community doesn't believe in separation or divorce when they marry out side of mates. it is different if both parties are wolfs but obviously once hunter knows about their secret they are not going to just let him go so easily.

Also yes Liam has a sister complex but I promise you and might even disappoint some readers, that nothing intimate or sexual will happen between them period. #notthatkindofbook sorry lol!
