Hunting for our Mate 80. Rebuild
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

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

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

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

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

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.

Zev’s pov“Talk me through what happened.”“I don’t want to.” I replied. Rishi had been busy healing me, but it would take another day or two for me to be back to normal.“So... um, you two fought? Was it about Lana? Of course it was…” Suzie asked again.I scoffed, looking at Stephen, who just got home a few hours ago. “Why did you have to tell her?”“I am glad at least someone is telling me anything! It was always the four of us, and now I feel left out,” Suzie pouted on the other side of the screen. “Stupid Alpha won’t let me leave just yet. I am dying to visit you and see all the drama up close.”Stephen was holding his phone up so she could see me, since I couldn’t, because my arm was still healing from being broken in several places.Being thrown out of a glass window kind of does that...Stephen laughed awkwardly. I knew he only told Suzie because he knew she’d answer if it was about any of us. She had been ignoring his advances, telling him to just go find his mate.I also knew

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.
Hunting for our Mate 133. Familiar
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
Hunting for our Mate 128. Not Okay
Zev’s pov“So, what’s up, man?” I asked, once Raiden shifted back after a while of running around.“Nothing,” he replied. “Just blowing off some steam, you know.”“Yeah, I do know.” I pointed to the mark he had left on my neck. I knew he was full of bullshit. He was not blowing off some steam, he was freaking out.“Motherfucking wolves,” he growled under his breath.I nodded, “yup, so no use in lying.”He shrugged, “I’m fine. Just tired and not looking forward to telling some people their family member died.”“I could come with…?” I offered.He shook his head, “nah, Odin already volunteered, and three big dudes coming to your house might be a bit much.”“And Lana?” I asked. “She’s coming?”“No, I don’t think that would be wise.” Raiden said as he looked around the forest, avoiding eye contact with me.“For her or?” I asked, wanting him to clarify. She’s our Luna. She should be there.Raiden sighed, “there are still some that blame her or tie her to that community. I don’t want to give
Hunting for our Mate 127. Powerless
Raiden’s povI left Atalanta to go find the prisoners while I chased after the doctor. He was pretty high on my list, and since it would be just the two of us, I might finally get some time to kill him.I had to rush her dad’s death, and her mom was already dead… Her uncle—well, my little wolf got rid of him herself.So the doctor was the last one I really wanted to kill.With arrogance and eagerness to do some damage I chased his scent, hearing his footsteps running away from me.Hunting a hunter, it’s ironic, and it feels so good to finally return the favor.These were the hunters that hurt my grandpa back in the day, that took my people, that killed my people. But most importantly, these were the hunters that hurt my mate. Especially this doctor.I should have paid more attention, because if I had, I would have heard his footsteps stop. I would have heard his heartbeat slow down and his fear replaced with another scent. I would have realized that something was wrong before I felt th
