Zev’s pov

What the hell is Raiden doing?

He is going to wreck everything I've been working for.

‘Relax, dude. I’m trying to help. Play along.’ Raiden’s voice came into my head.

‘What?’

‘Me and my mouse know what you’re doing with Steve.’ Raiden explained before yelling at me.

I hadn't even heard Steve's response.

"Do you have anything to say, coward? You try and get my mate from me, but now you’re too chicken shit to open your mouth. Do you think Atalanta should join the pack?” Raiden growled at me.

‘Don’t look so happy, idiot.’ He mindlinked with a smirk.

I growled back, “no. She shouldn’t. No half-bred woman has any business joining a pack, let alone as the future Luna.”

Steve slapped me on the shoulder, “good.”

“Let’s all calm down,” Ethan tried, but Raiden didn’t feel like calming down. He wanted to push Steve a bit further. Make him lose his mind.

Raiden laughed, “calm down? That’s all we’ve been doing! We should prepare for war and kill those hunters, yet we’re hiding and doing j

Hi! It's been a bit difficult to write. not only because we were pretty busy, but I bruised my ribs and have been pretty sore for the last few days. and then i got the news that I'm scheduled to get an operation tomorrow, so my head was kind of busy getting used to that idea as well. it's for a hernia in one of the scars from a previous operation when I had an ectopic pregnancy. it's a small operation, but still. i get put under and stay for half a day, if all goes well.

No need! You were trying to take care of yourself. That is important. I just wanted you to know you were thought of individually, not just as an author.

Just need to relax today. I got picked up by my husband and boys, and they were so sweet, carrying my bag and being very gentle and worried about me. will update soon. lots of love, Naomi

  • Hunting for our Mate   101. Blow it up.

    Raiden’s pov‘What are you doing?’ Dad asked as I marched to his office with Atalanta on my arm.I've had enough of waiting for whatever Steve has planned. I’m not just going to sit here and do nothing.Dad stared at me, ‘so you’re just going to blow everything up instead?’Basically. Waiting for Steve to do whatever he’s planning to do is not something I have the patience for. Now that I understand Zev's intentions, I am eager to speed things along.To hell with all of them.Steve and whoever is following him.I don’t get why dad’s not just throwing them all out.‘The hunters…’ Atlas reminded me.O yeah, we can’t throw people out of our pack in case the hunters capture, kill, or use them for their weird half-bred baby-making schemes.Well, I’m not sitting around anymore.I’m lighting a fire under all their asses and getting to the bottom of everything that’s been going on. And I’m having fun acting like an aggressive fool while doing it.It’s not often I can say whatever the fuck I wa

  • Hunting for our Mate   102. Packmeeting

    Atalanta;s pov“I can’t wait for my birthday, because this is ridiculous. Now everyone can mindlink, but me and I just need to drive around with Zev like nothing is happening.” Suzie sighed before leaving my room.We had agreed it was better that Zev did what Steve had asked him, not to draw suspicion.It would also keep them out of harm's way, but neither me nor Raiden told them that.It was like something unspoken between the two of us. Raiden and I both knew our plan, if that’s even what you can call it, could fail.We were hoping the pack would have our back and not that of their beta. But they don’t even know me.‘They know Raiden, and this will be a chance for them to get to know you,’ Artemis reminded me.As someone who grew up hardly ever leaving the house, I didn’t get to know many of my fellow hunters until I came back from Ardale. When I did, they all hated me, so there wasn’t really a chance to get close to anyone.Here, things were different. Raiden knew his pack, as did t

  • Hunting for our Mate   103. Peacefully

    Zev’s pov“Where are you going?” Stephen asked, his gaze shifting more towards Suzie than towards me.“Just for a drive.” I replied casually.“Today? With everything that just happened? I thought you were mad at Zev." Stephen continued to ask Suzie.“I’m not anymore. He explained things, and now he is taking me shopping.” Suzie said with a big smile. “Want to come?”“No.” Stephen immediately said. “Stop lying. Everyone is hiding shit from me, and it’s getting old, but I thought you were different. You never lie to me. Even when the truth hurts, you tell me it. It's one of the things I like about you most.”I really should not be here for this talk, but since we’re standing near my car, there isn’t really anywhere I can go.Suzie sighed, “sorry, Ven. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but...”“But, what? Is it about my dad?” Stephen asked. He looked so defeated. I've grown to like the guy, and this situation is unfair. He’s never shown he thinks the same way his dad does, and even Steve s

  • Hunting for our Mate   104. Boring

    Raiden’s povWhen dad was injured, we all helped out. I took on a lot of Alpha responsibilities, so I kind of knew already what the job entailed.Or so I thought.This week, I took on the role of the Alpha after burying Steve in a private funeral and determining the punishment for everyone who joined him.Dad agreed to temporarily replace Steve with Suzie's help and be my beta so I could get used to being the alpha when I take over. We’re just waiting for Suzie’s birthday.It turns out being an alpha is fucking boring most of the time.It’s so much paperwork; it’s listening to people’s complaints. It’s… It’s bullshit, that’s what it is.Why does the strongest man in the pack just sit around on his ass all day behind a computer and do things others are capable of as well?>I get having final say in things, but damn, this is like running a business.Zev should do this!Atlas chuckled at my displeasure, ‘maybe he should.’Speak of the devil, and he appears, because a moment after this th

    Zev’s pov“This is weird, right?” I laughed awkwardly.Lana joined me in giggling anxiously, “it is a bit.”“Well, you look beautiful. I love the dress; it’s a nice shade of blue. It matches your eyes." I said, attempting to alleviate some of the tension.I have been mindlinking her compliments the last few days and have loved seeing how it made her blush. It’s been harder not to touch her when I see her or tell her I love her. But I’m trying to go slow.Not as slow as Raiden would like, though. But that’s not my problem tonight.“Raiden picked it, -“ her eyes widened. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to make things tense.”I shook my head and patted her hand that was laying on the table, trying to reassure her that things were fine. “He’s your mate. It’s okay. We can talk about him.”“Okay,” Lana smiled at me cautiously.“I mean, knowing Raiden, he’s probably mindlinked you fifty times already since you’ve been here.” I joked. Lana smelled like Raiden. Like sex, soap, and her own amazing scent.

  • Hunting for our Mate   106. Tease

    Raiden’s pov“You’re not going to mindlink her, are you?" Dad warned me. He was one of the few people I had told about Atalanta’s date.Damn, that was exactly what I wanted to do from the moment I sat down for dinner.Suzie and Stephen sat next to each other, dampening everyone’s mood. I mean, my cranky ass didn’t do anything to make the mood better either.But Goddess Stephen seems depressed. Like he hasn’t slept or showered in days.Hopefully his new job will work.“So, Stephen.” I started, ignoring my dad, who was trying to say more with his eyes.Stephen growled at me before quickly lowering his neck. It can’t be easy sitting at the table with the man who killed your father.“Sorry, Raiden. Yes, what did you want to ask?” Stephen said, holding hands with my future beta.I had made their relationship harder; I knew that. But that wasn’t really my concern. I wanted what was best for my pack. And for me as an alpha.And Stephen working with me wasn’t it. It’s just not.“Zev and I had

  • Hunting for our Mate   107. Control

    Atalanta’s povI’ve never told either of my mates this, and I might never do so, because there’s already so much tension and comparison.But I think I might have fallen in love with Zev before I did with Raiden.However, Zev wasn’t ready for love. And I would never have been brave enough to try and hit on him. I was too busy with the mission, too busy leading a double life, to even think about such a thing.Besides, back then I had no confidence, so the idea that someone liked me back, well, that was just ridiculous.When I had overheard them talking about me, it just proved me right.I fell for them for different reasons. With Raiden, I felt protected; I still do. And he has a way of making me feel sexy and wanted that nobody else has.He can look at me like I’m his favorite snack, his favorite person to adore and to ravish. He gives me confidence in myself. Not just about the way I look; he sees past that.Raiden has always been able to tell when I am lying or hiding something. But h

  • Hunting for our Mate   136. Alone Time

    Zev’s pov“So, how did it go this time?” I asked Lana.She smiled at me, a real smile with her eyes squinting and her cheeks so adorably round. “Good. Really good.”She has gone to see her father a few times now, and he has introduced her to the rest as well. Every time, either Raiden and I both went with her or one of us did. This time it was Raiden’s turn, while I kept an eye on the pack with Suzie and Stephen.Things were good. Not just between Lana and her father, but inside the pack as well. Even outside of the pack.We had formed a plan with our allies. We were done hiding from the hunters. We weren’t actively going to hunt them, but we were done playing defense.So the moment a hunter was spotted in one of our areas, we made it our mission to find the hunters and take them out. Soon the hunters started realizing their chances of actually beating us in a fair fight weren’t that high.Taking us out one by one was easy, but taking out an entire pack? None so easy at all.With Lana

  • Hunting for our Mate   135. Father

    Atalanta’s povMy head was still spinning from everything that had happened. It had been hard to focus on the meeting when I was replaying everything Alpha Tharon, my biological father, had said.He is either my dad or my stepdad. No, he doesn’t even deserve the title of dad in any way or form. That man who raised me, even though he’s dead now, still has an effect on me.My mother hated me, so did my brother, but there was something different about the way that man treated me. Maybe deep down he knew I wasn’t his.But now I have a chance. And part of me wonders how badly this will go when another thinks it can’t be worse than what that man that held the title dad all these years did.It can only go up, right?With Raiden and Zev by my side to keep me safe, there is only a chance things will be better, not worse.I am not used to feeling hopeful about my family.But for the first time in my life, I see my value and see that I deserve more than what I had.It felt nice to know that even

  • Hunting for our Mate   134. Family

    Raiden’s pov“Can I give you a hug?” Alpha Tharon asked Atalanta as soon as we stepped into my office.I growled, “no,” while Zev said, “how do you know you’re her father?” at the same time.We both felt very protective of our mate. None of her family had ever treated her right, so who was to say what Alpha Tharon would be like?From what I knew, he was an okay guy, but that didn’t mean shit right now.Atalanta softly spoke, ignoring us both, “maybe another time? Hugging is kind of new to me.”“What do you mean?” Alpha Tharon asked. “New to you how?”Atalanta smiled, “well, Beta Suzie was the first one to hug me this year. Since then I’ve gotten more hugs than I can count from these two and from some other people, but it’s not something that comes really naturally to me.”“Nobody ever hugged you before?” he whispered it almost, as he stood there staring ahead with his eyes wide.I took my seat, and Zev quickly grabbed a chair for Alpha Tharon to sit in; our little mouse didn’t need he

  • Hunting for our Mate   update

    hi, I know I left you with a cliffhanger. yesterday, I had an appointment at the hospital to talk to the doctor because the surgery didn't work, and the hernia is back.it's painful at times, like mild cramps, but I am getting a ct scan next month, and following that, we'll discuss a possible new operation. Anyway, my mind had been a bit busy with all that. I'm kind of claustrofobic, so I'm not looking forward to the ct scan machine. it's also just the world right now and especially the US that's on my mind. we have our own right-wing politicians, but nothing like what's going on now. from my writing, you should know I don't support hate, discrimination, and just plain evil behavior like what's been happening. I just hope it's not going to be as bad as it looks for the next 4 years. it's scary. I mean, I'm from the city where Anne Frank lived. and her book is now banned. All of it is just making me worried and when I can’t concentrate I can't write. but I'll keep trying.

    Atalanta’s povI did not want to go to this meeting, mostly because I didn’t want to sit across from different alphas, betas and lunas who might hate me because of who my mother and great uncle were.They might think the same way our pack did, before they got used to me.‘Used to you makes it sounds like they just accepted you, because they didn’t have a choice. You’ve proven yourself to them and shown the pack who you really are.’ Artemis reassured me.Raiden had forced me to attend and when I pleaded with Zev, he had told me he agreed with Raiden’s choice. I wasn’t just there to represent the Crescent Moon pack, I was there because I have valuable knowledge of the hunter community. Because I have trained to be a hunter and I have witnessed what the general and the doctor were doing first hand.I had been the one to free the prisoners and while there testimonies would be read today, it was important for someone to be here that had seen how they were held and in what conditions.It did

    Zev’s pov“You two can leave. Little Mouse and Zev, can you two stay behind? I’d like to talk some more.” Raiden said after we finished our meeting.It was like nothing had ever happened, well, to most people. But Raiden still had his moments where he felt angry or sad or guilty. We had a good talk just a few days ago about what it does to a person to feel so helpless and trapped.He would brag that he had got rid of his shit in just two weeks, as if it were a contest. But everything is a contest to an alpha, and I wasn’t bothered by it. I was just glad I got my friend back.Stephen, Suzie, and the three of us had a meeting to discuss the future of the pack. Stephen, Lana, and I had spoken to the council we had put together several times to see what the pack members thought could be improved.Raiden and Suzie had been out in the pack themselves as well to talk to the people, and he had several discussions with nearby packs to see how we could defend ourselves better. Not just against h

  • Hunting for our Mate   131. Failure

    Raiden’s povBeing inside Atalanta felt like coming home. I might have said it as a joke, but it truly felt that way.And not just because her pussy felt like a warm wet hug for my dick. It was more than that.We hadn’t discussed me not being able to get hard. It was like this big elephant in the room. Because we all knew it. It was obvious. I’m usually the one in charge, dominating my mate, while Zev is the one who is more soft and doesn’t mind being told what to do.But lately all I’ve been doing is eating my mate out or working her pussy or ass with my hand. And trust me, it’s not a bad job. Not at fucking all. I love being the reason my little wolf has an orgasm.I love seeing her squirm, hearing her moan because of me.And I didn’t even mind being the only one who didn’t get to finish.It just didn’t feel complete. Like I was failing at another thing.Because that’s what it comes down to, right? I failed as an alpha, as a mate, and now even as a lover, because I can’t even fuck my

    Atalanta’s pov“You know how long it took you to open up, so why do you expect Raiden to do it so quickly? It’s been less than two weeks.” Grace told Zev, while I sat on his lap.She had come into the office to discuss something else, but the conversation inevitably led to Raiden.Things hadn’t felt right between the three of us.And it wasn’t just the lack of intimacy; it was like there was a wall between us. It scared me to think what he was hiding.“He tells me everything, Grace. Even stuff I don’t want to know.” Zev replied.She chuckled, “yes, my son does have a tendency to overshare.”“We’re just worried,” I explained.“I understand that. But he’s not acting out. He’s working and behaving normally, albeit a bit down,” Grace answered.Zev sighed while running his fingers past my arm. “You don’t see it, but he’s different. I can feel it through the bond, and I know that holding it in will only make things worse.”“You’re projecting a bit, assuming that Raiden deals with things in a

    Raiden’s pov“So, how are you?” Suzie asked, once I entered my office.“Not you too?” I sighed. “I’m fine. Please, just get to work.”She shook her head and tutted, “look, you had your rest for the last two days. Me and Ven held down the fort while you got to sleep in, -“I stopped Suzie, “I never asked you to do that. You offered. No, you more than offered it. You pushed.”Suzie scoffed, “really? Goddess, Raiden. You’re a horrible liar.”“Liar?!” I growled.“Yes!” She shouted at me. “You think nobody can see through this act?! Everyone can see you’re miserable. Goddess, we can feel it! Your mood is like a dark cloud hanging over everyone and making people walk on their toes around you. It’s annoying, and it needs to end!”“What the fuck, Suzie. You’re exaggerating.” I rolled my eyes at my beta. “Let’s just get to work, please.”“No, no, Raiden. Not, what the fuck. Talk to me, or someone... Do something. But this is going too far.”“What do you mean ‘this” is going too far?” I asked, t
