Hunting for our Mate 79. A Good Man.
Zev’s pov“You killed my son!”I did not expect today to go like this. I assumed I would be able to help Alpha Ethan with some work or to take out some anger at the construction site where we were currently rebuilding one of the houses along the border that was destroyed.But instead I was asked to accompany Luna Grace and Atalanta to the city.When we all had breakfast together this morning, both Atalanta and Luna Grace seemed different.‘They had sex,’ Rishi stated.Apparently Alpha Ethan was feeling well enough again because Luna Grace was walking around with a big smile, smelling even more like her mate than usual.And Atalanta, the person I was supposed to keep an eye out for, seemed different. She was either deep in thought or talking to her new mother-in-law. But she seemed more at ease, or less sad somehow.I don’t know; maybe it was the way she carried herself. Her shoulders weren’t up to her neck, her head wasn’t to the floor, and I even saw her smile a few times.It angered

Atalanta’s pov‘Say something. You didn’t do it!’ Artemis growled inside my head, but I couldn’t. This woman had lost a child because of me. I told them about Belladonna; I should have warned someone when Archer said everything was coming to an end.I should have known they had something planned.‘You could not have known.’ Artemis argued, but by then Luna Grace had already stepped up and started to defend my honor.It was very different from how Raiden would defend me. Luna Grace remained calm, stating facts and still showing sympathy. But she would not allow the grieving woman to call me names.I had never been defended this way. It didn’t even seem like the way a werewolf handled anything. I was taught they were animals, violent creatures.'While our sexy mate may have a more primitive approach to defending you, that doesn't mean we're incapable of using different methods to solve a problem.' Artemis said. Raiden is sexy, and his protective nature has always attracted me to him.Eve
Hunting for our Mate 81. Night Terror
Zev’s povIt was much easier to deal with the idea of Atalanta being half werewolf than dealing with what my Alpha and Luna had told me regarding my parents.I had confided in them over the years about my reluctance to take on a mate. Raiden knew better than anyone why I didn’t want a mate, but even he couldn’t understand how deep my fears rang.It was so much easier to blame the death of my mother for my dad breaking down. In my mind, it had been like night and day. The severed mate bond turned him from a great father and fantastic mate into a monster.Losing the love of his life literally broke him.But that wasn’t the case. My mom losing her life had only been part of the reason for my dad's behavior. It were his choices that started the breakdown between his wolf and himself.But the hardest part to come to terms with was that my dad had always been capable of hurting those he loved. Maybe not as brutally as he hurt me, but there had always been something inside my father that made
Hunting for our Mate 82. Difficult
Atalanta’s povAfter Raiden and I had phone sex, something I had never heard about until that day, we talked a bit more.“Go sleep in one of my shirts; it will help.” Raiden had made the suggestion, and I smiled just thinking about how comfortable he was around me.His clothes were so nice and expensive, yet he didn’t care that I slept in one of them. His t-shirt was like a dress for me, but I loved smelling him all around me.“And don’t wear any underwear; when I come home, I want to smell your pussy on my shirt.”I blushed, thinking how strange werewolves and their obsessions with scents can be.‘You’re one of them, remember...’ Artemis teased me.My body had felt tired; my mind was busy with everything that had happened today, but eventually the tiredness of my body won.Raiden had stayed on the phone, promising only to hang up when I fell asleep.However, as soon as I drifted off to sleep, I experienced the most terrifying nightmare I've experienced since arriving here. It was lik
Hunting for our Mate 83. Questions
Raiden’s povThe anger I felt toward Zev did not go away, even after speaking to Atalanta. Although I was relieved she had a good night's sleep, I still felt anxious and pissed off that I wasn't there for her right now.It probably didn't help that everyone here, including the alphas, was out to get me.‘They’re not,’ Atlas tried to reassure me.Sure, a few seemed to be fine with the idea of Atalanta as my mate, but they were still too curious for my liking. Even if they weren’t arguing for her imprisonment or to be questioned like the rest were, they still wanted to know more about her.My dad had been right to hide her identity, because most of the morning Alphas had been asking me questions about my mate. How fast could she heal, could she use the mindlink, how could she handle poison, could she fight better or run faster than humans? What would it take for her to be able to shift?And those were the “nice’” questions! Then there were the weird questions about our mate-bond and the
Hunting for our Mate 84. Buttons
Zev’s pov “Go see Grace, because I am losing my patience with you, Zev!” Alpha Ethan barked at me. I had shown him considerable disrespect, but I could only tolerate so much. Why, in Goddess name, did they think this was a good idea? Just a few minutes ago, I had asked my former mate to accept my rejection. And now they wanted me to spend the entire day protecting her. It felt like an insult, especially since both of them knew how much I was already dealing with. ‘She can’t accept the rejection; her wolf is already weak,’ Rishi whined. She said she could, so why did it hurt to think about it? Wouldn't Atalanta accepting my rejection solve everything? It would severe the remainder of the bond between us, finally giving me a chance to move on. It wasn’t like Atalanta felt the bond anyway. She has a wolf now; shouldn't she at least feel something? I stomped over to Luna’s office, which was next door to her mates. “Zev… So, Ethan says you have issues with our request?” “He didn’t

Atalanta’s pov“You’re here…”He was stroking my hair, holding me in his arms. Gone was my nightmare; now all I felt was shock and confusion.“You had another nightmare,” Zev admitted, looking awkward as he moved back from me.Another? So he was here yesterday? Artemis had been right.I looked down at him, “and you’re naked...”He quickly grabbed one of Raiden’s pillows and placed it over himself, which I would need to change before Raiden came back tomorrow. I don’t think Raiden would like to sleep with Zev’s dick smell near his head.“It’s Rishi; he shifted and came here when he heard you cry. He feels weirdly attached to you still.”His wolf. Of course. It was his wolf who had forced him to be here. That’s why he’s naked. He shifted back.Zev had been pretty nice to me today. But maybe he just felt bad for me.I wanted to tell Raiden over the phone, but I didn’t think telling him about everything that happened today was a conversation you should have over the phone.Especially not s
Hunting for our Mate 86. Everything
Raiden’s pov“Half of my heart is hurting, and the other half is in love. What if it will always be like that? I deserve to be in pain, but Raiden’s doesn’t.”“Did you ever love me? Really?”“I did. I do.”Those words keep repeating in my mind. She said she deserves to be in pain, which she doesn’t. She’s dealt with enough pain. A mate should not cause pain. Yet she loves him. After everything he did, she still loves him.But what stung the most is that she confided in him and not me.‘Not to mention the fact they were both naked.’ Atlas growled.It had never bothered me before—quite the opposite. I had found it hot seeing Zev with our mouse. But things are different now. He didn’t want her; he rejected her.But I want her. I love Atalanta. I have never wanted someone before as badly as I crave her.It's become an obsession. She’s all I think about, all I care for.And it fucking sucks to know she will never feel the same.I don’t doubt her love for me, but I am not enough.‘Stop that.
