‘We’re coming down,’ Natalie’s voice was surprisingly thrilled in our heads. Me and Mack looked at each other, then hurried out onto the deck where John was organizing his papers.
He’d worn a simple, gray suit as I’d asked him to, which was a relief.
Mack and I had opened the broad, French doors that led from the living area out to the wide deck at the back, so when Cara came down the stairs she’d see all the way through the stone-walled cottage and out…
The doorway and exterior roof outside dangling tendrils of ivy.
Thick, gray beams of the deck.

Hunted by My Alpha 130. The Vows – Part 2
~ CARA ~Rig was so freaking adorable when he was trying to make me feel good I didn’t know what to say. Everything he’d said was so beautiful—and blunt. I felt like it was impossible to say anything that was going to make him feel the way he’d made me feel. But then I took a leaf out of his book.I’d just speak the truth, and to hell with whether it sounded pretty. If it was true, it had meaning.I looked up into his incredible eyes, took in the sheer beauty of him with that sharp jaw and dark hair falling over his forehead and shook my head.A tiny shadow of doubt crept into his eyes then, but I smiled and the sun came back out.“When we met I thought you were someone else,” I sa
Hunted by My Alpha 131. Road to Happy
~ RIG ~I hadn’t even thought about what to do when we were officially married. Hadn’t considered what those moments would be like—all of us just standing there…Cara and I couldn’t take our eyes—or our hands—off each other.I was so desperate to be with her, to be alone, for a minute I was scrambling, searching frantically for a way to steal her away alone. But I couldn’t. Not yet. They’d be out there, dad’s spies. I was certain of it.I needed to get all of us out of here and to the Cabin. We couldn’t be safe until we were there.So it was an exercise in sheer will to thank John and spend a few minutes getting his instructions about getting the marriage c
Hunted by My Alpha 132. Ready for You
~ CARA ~The house was insane—calling it a cabin was a joke. I might have accepted “lodge.”Tall and imposing, surrounded by clusters of massive, mature pines on both sides, the roof rose in one massive peak, but was peppered with other eaves and dormer windows.It was three levels of wood and stone, exposed beams and hardwood floors scattered with thick furs and rugs.When we walked in the front door it felt like walking into some kind of hotel—massive and echoing, but warm. The wood floors and huge central stone fireplace that was open on both sides and had a river rock chimney that rose all the way up the three levels to the ceiling. Met on one side by the second and third levels, but leaving the open plan living, kitchen, and dining on the grou
Hunted by My Alpha 133. The Important Things
~ RIG ~This kiss was far too hard. Too demanding. But I was struggling, and to my eternal delight, Cara seemed just as needy as me.When I pulled her face up and took her mouth, she came up on her toes and fisted the front of my suit as she met my kiss stroke for stroke.She tasted like sweet mint. Then, as I tilted my head to deepen the kiss, she sucked in a breath and arched her back, pulling me against her and my wolf howled.Finally, finally.Her touch stroking up my chest, then back down, the way she slid her hands under the suit jacket, then up to my shoulders to push it off.I let my hands drop and swing back so it could fall to the floor. They were trembling when I
Hunted by My Alpha 134. Her First Time
~ RIG ~Holding onto myself, rubbing myself against her, I lifted my head to look at her, my breath harsh as I rocked against her and she stopped breathing whenever I passed over that tiny bundle of nerves, and she stopped breathing every time I passed over where we would join, and she stopped breathing every time I held the pressure at the peak of my roll in a parody of what I really wanted to do.“Cara…” I groaned, dropping my face to nip at her neck again.She whispered something that was supposed to be my name, I thought, but she was arching, pressing her breasts higher, begging for my attention there again—and so I gave it, humming with approval when she gave another whimper and shuddered as I passed over her again.And then there was a frant
Hunted by My Alpha 135. Not All the Way
~ RIG ~We lay there together for a long time, dozing and holding each other. Breathing.As Cara slipped in and out of sleep, I found myself watching her. My wife. My mate. Mine. I couldn’t quite breathe every time I thought about it. Letting my gaze trace the lines of her porcelain skin, her mussed hair, the hint of pink still in her cheeks… I was awed. She was really mine. Truly mine… well, mostly.A niggling unease crept up underneath the joy.The bond hadn’t completed. I was pretty sure.I hadn’t had a bond before, so I couldn’t be certain. But I’d heard enough stories and jokes between the mated wolves to know that when it happened it was impossible to miss.
Hunted by My Alpha 136. I Promise
~ RIG ~Was I the reason the bond hadn’t completed?Did I need to be the one to go first… to let whatever it was come out? Maybe because she was human, that was the only way?Or maybe humans just couldn’t release whatever this thing was?I had a gross mental image for a minute from that movie “Aliens.” I shuddered. Fuck, I hoped when it did come that it wouldn’t hurt.But that was stupid. No one ever talked about the bond hurting. That was the point. Having your mate so close, so connected was the opposite of hurt. Or so I’d been told.So I thought back on the words Mack had chosen. Chewing them over.

~ CARA ~I woke up to Rig’s touch, and it was so delicious, prickling and tingling down my back, I didn’t want to move at first.But then he sighed. Only a small sigh. A heavy breath. But I felt… something. I could feel that something was wrong. Even though he touched me so gently and lay so quietly… I could feel him.“What’s wrong?”I had to turn around to face him and ask a second time before he admitted it.“I’m just… terrified to lose you.”Seeing the blazing love in his eyes, that burning

Hunted by My Alpha 249. No Negotiation
~ RIG ~ I let my upper lip curl up and bare my teeth. Let him see that he was dealing with a helluva lot more than a spoiled rich kid. His instincts were dulled by humanity and alcohol, but even his dimwitted senses caught the flash of my teeth. He stiffened. I smiled. “My wife wants to share her wedding with her Mom—we eloped, but we’ve just watched some friends getting married and it’s making her think about what we missed, so we’re going to do it properly. Make another memory. And Cara wants to share that with her mom. So, we’re going to renew our vows in front of everyone we care about. Which, sadly, includes you.” He smiled and I wanted to bite his face off. “You are invited,” I growled. “But you

SOUNDTRACK: “Your Daughter” by Chase McDaniel. ***** ~ RIG (Three weeks later) ~ Getting out of my jeep in the driveway of the house that was the site of Cara’s torture turned my stomach. My Alpha power—still difficult to contain at times, making me itchy and prone to aggression—surged as I took in the cracked cement with weeds and grass growing up, the overgrown flower beds now little jungles of three foot weeds, and the grass that was thin and patchy, and mostly dead. This was the place that her fucking father had made her believe no one could love her. This was the place she’d been hurt. This was the place I wanted to burn to the fucking ground. But for today, at least, that wasn’t the assig
Hunted by My Alpha 247. Fight For You
SOUNDTRACK: “Unbearable” by Nathan Wagner. ***** ~ CHARLIE ~ Watching Mack salivate over Natalie as she walked up the aisle was a very specific kind of torment. Because even though I was supposed to be watching our friends publicly vow themselves, my eyes kept drifting back to Meg who, alongside Cara and Tessa, was standing with Natalie today. She looked… stunning. Natalie, always with the impeccable taste that I didn’t understand, but could fully appreciate, had draped all the girls in floor-length, light-green, figure-hugging-but-not-clinging dresses that revealed flesh without being suggestive. It was fucking torture.

~ MACK ~ When Natalie and Cara finally reached us on the stage, I knew that there was an exchange with the officiant. Cara and Rig said something, but I didn’t hear it. I just took Natalie’s hands and pulled her up to stand in front of me. I was aware of people speaking after that. The officiant—a wolf who’d been among the rebels, whose aunt was human, and had become ordained—spoke for a few minutes about marriage and what it meant, but all I could think about was the deep pools of her eyes, that hollow in her throat that she’d offered me the night before last, and how my entire blood hummed with love and desire and— There was a ripple of laughter. “Oh, what?” I asked. Someone had asked me something. Oh, right. “I do!”

SOUNDTRACK: “Don’t Give Up on Me” by Andy Grammar ***** ~ MACK ~ I had been shitting myself. Absolutely, one hundred percent, about-to-claw-my-own-hair-off, crapping my pants. When Cara told me about the human traditions around a wedding, and what she was planning to do with Rig for their vow renewal—which included not seeing or sleeping with each other the day before the ceremony, which sounded crazy—I’d joked with Natalie that we should do that too. I’d thought it would be cute and maybe increase anticipation for when we did come back together after the ceremony. I hadn’t banked on my mate getting cold feet about doing this in front of the packs, and how her nerves would kick my insecurities into gear—and that the whole damn thing would b

SOUNDTRACK: “Break Your Fall” by UNSECRET and Marc Scibilia. ***** ~ NATALIE ~ “This is stupid and… and indulgent and it doesn’t matter! I should never have agreed to this. It’s nothing but a dumb, human tradition and… it means nothing. I’m not doing it.” I stood in the bedroom that we’d made into a bridal suite—complete with three-way mirror—and folded my arms. I’d been staring at myself and all I could see were the imperfections. Tessa had done a beautiful job on my make up, but everything else just felt… sticky. My dress was a touch too tight around my breasts. There were too many people here and they were all going to be staring. I could feel Mack out there panting with nerves, but what if he didn’t like the dress? I should have shown it to him! Why had I let Cara talk me into all this traditional nonsense? “Natalie, you get your gorgeous ass out there and marry that man before he sweats through his Armani suit,” Cara growled. “Seriously, don’t make me turn it into an orde
Hunted by My Alpha 243. Done
~ RIG ~I started towards her, but was halted almost immediately as I watched in awe while my mate carved through lines of wolves as if they were butter.Claws, teeth, whirling body—despite her bulk, she moved like liquid, tail lashing and claws like wicked hooks designed to tear through fur and flesh.I shook and trembled because my father’s power was shifting to me and my veins were boiling with it—while the rest of me simmered in the rising rage and terror of the wolves around us.The transfer of Alpha should have been peaceful. There was an established hierarchy waiting, swelling with the newfound power. But my father was a liar and cheat, and he’d encouraged his wolves towards the same.The hierarchy, the elders, his advisors, every pack and family of power rolled towards us, howling in rage and fear.And my wolves, newly risen and brimming with the triumph of victory and the added confidence of success, tore right back to meet them.Mack, Charlie, Jack, and Natalie tore for me,
Hunted by My Alpha 242. When Hell is Broken
SOUNDTRACK: “Legendz” by AG and Devvon Terrell ***** ~ RIG ~ Everything slowed to a crawl, time seemed almost not to move at all as I watched my father go for my mate and I turned, twisting, pushing my body in ways I never had, panic screaming in my head, frantic to reach him before he got her. I couldn’t move fast enough. He was going to land at her feet before I did and his power would carry him right to her throat. She wasn’t equipped for this… It all washed through me in that second—the rage for what he’d done, the fury about his injustices, the anger that he would still cheat, even before the witnesses, and the shocking weight of grief because that was my mate. But then the second wave arrived that left me desperate, panicked, humiliated and hating myself. If she died right now it was my fault. My side screamed in pain as I launched myself after him, but my father seemed to hang in mid-air. I had time to see Cara bare her teeth and crouch. Everything moved so slowly I could
Hunted by My Alpha 241. Death on Four Legs
~ RIG ~My father saw the opening he’d been waiting for, gathered himself on his haunches and launched at me, the light of victory in his eyes.Instinctively, I didn’t even try to meet the attack, just leaped straight into the air in an attempt to deflect, dropping my chin, trying to hide my throat as my father snaked in—and to my horror, he would have taken me, except that was the moment Stephen howled in the link, then sent images to us both:Himself. Head bowed. Shoulders rolled forward. His human form submitted.To me.It was a boom of thunder right over my head. In any context, the submission of an Alpha brought al
