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

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
Last Updated : 2024-10-14Hunting for our Mate 88. Suzie
Suzie’s povNobody probably wants to hear from me. I mean, who would want to hear my thoughts or hear about the stuff I’m going through?I’m meant to be the fun friend, the one that provides some needed advice and sees things others don’t.Like how I knew they were mates before they did.But right now, I don’t want to be just the person they can count on. Or the person who gives them the kick they need.As much as it pains me to admit it, I think I need a kick in the ass right now.From a very young age, I wanted to follow in my dad’s footsteps. Not just because I’m a daddy’s girl, which I am. But also because it seemed like the perfect job to me.Although you don’t get all the glory that comes with being the Alpha, you also don’t get all the pressure. But you do have an extremely important job and are able to fill it in when Alpha is away.Which means you’re basically like an alpha, without all the stress and fame.But what made me want to do the job the most is that I think I would b

Atalanta’s pov“I’m back, bitches!” Suzie yelled out.Raiden rolled his eyes, and Zev just stood there, while I couldn’t contain my smile.“Too much? Sorry, you try sitting alone with this man on a plane for hours and see how chippy you come out of it! I think he tried to bore me to death with meaningless facts about your pack or something. After that didn’t work, he just talked about you three…” She said, winking at us. “I should have come here sooner, because you clearly need me.”“Whatever,” Raiden said, his hand on my butt. He loves touching my butt whenever he can.Artemis teased me, causing me to blush, "Just one of the many things he likes to do to your behind."Because of the fight between Zev and Raiden, Alpha Ethan had given them both some time off work to calm down. Which meant Raiden and I had barely left out room.I wasn’t sure it was because Raiden was avoiding Zev or because of all the sex…‘Probably the second one.’We didn’t just have sex. We talked a lot. We ate; we t

Atalanta’s pov“Um, so, I’m not sure how to explain this, but Artemis and I have been talking and...”Suzie smiled at me, “it’s fine; just give it a go.”“Growing up, I wasn’t allowed to talk much. I am not used to hearing my own voice, and I am not sure what to say very often. I don’t know if what I’ll say will be the right thing or if it’s appropriate or annoying, because whatever I said at home would be seen as too much or stupid.” I explained. “But now that I am here, I am trying to say more. Say what I am thinking. Artemis said it’s fine to say what I think, as long as it’s not hurtful or insulting.”Suzie nodded, and I loved how she let me speak without interrupting me.I giggled awkwardly. I wanted to ask if you are okay. And why do you smell like Stephen?”Suzie blushed before laughing. “Well, those two questions have really different answers. I’ll tell you the easy one first. So, um, me and Ven, that’s what I call Stephen in my head, had a fight in the airplane, and it turned

Hunting for our Mate 124. List
Raiden’s povAlthough we don’t celebrate Christmas, because you know, we don’t believe in Jesus or God, we do have our own celebration. Our celebration is rooted in pagan holidays such as Saturnalia, the winter solstice, and Yule, which also serve as the basis for Christmas, but we won't delve into that.The lights, the tree, the gifts—it's all there. Just no Santa and definitely no nativity stable and stuff.But I was working to a point… My point is, we have watched a few Christmas movies, and I am familiar with some of the songs.And the one that keeps repeating in my head is, “he’s making a list. He’s checking it twice.”I have a list as well. It’s sort of like a naughty or nice list, but it only contains those who have been bad. Those that need punishment.And I am not talking about some coal in their stocking. No… Just some good old-fashioned murder.First on my list is, of course, that fucking dickhead General Sweets. Not far behind are mommy dearest and stepdaddy. I’ve already
Hunting for our Mate 123. Stuck
Atalanta’s povI looked around me, trying to hear and see if anyone noticed me. I had run here quickly, and with my size, I wasn’t as noticeable as Raiden or Zev. But I am still a wolf in a hunter's village.Everyone around me seemed too busy with the wolves near the borders of the village. People were either hiding or going out to fight, none of them expecting one of the wolves had already gotten through.I could run back. I could stick to the plan. But this is probably where the scout is being held. This could be a chance to free him.While I had my eyes closed during the night the General took me down to his laboratory, I could still hear and smell. And the only other person who was there was the doctor. Most of the people here weren’t even aware of the experiments the General performed.There could be a chance he was hiding him elsewhere, a place prisoners usually are kept. But I had this feeling in my gut. General Sweets would want more than information if he found a strong male w
Hunting for our Mate 122. Fight or Flight
Atalanta’s povTo say I was freaking out was an understatement. The only thing holding me together was reminding myself why we were doing this.It was for our future. Raiden, Zev, and I together, having our own family.And a safe place to raise that family with people that we cared about.I don’t know when the idea of having a family, of having a baby, popped up in my head. It might have been because of Zev’s letter.Even now that we’re marked, he continues to write me little notes or letters on the days I’m scheduled to work alongside Raiden or Odin.In one of them he shared how Suzie made him see sense by showing him what he could have. He described this family, with us as parents. There was no intent behind it, no pressure for me to have a baby. He was just saying that in a perfect world, one day that could be us.And it made sense. Zev and I both wanted a loving family more than anything. Raiden already has a loving family, so he’s in less of a hurry.‘And he wants you all to hims
Hunting for our Mate 121. That Man.
Zev’s pov“Do you think Odin remembers what I told him about hunters using the bow and arrow first? because it makes less noise?” Lana asked while Raiden kissed her neck.She moaned softly as I unbuttoned her shirt, as instructed by Raiden during the meeting.‘We’re going to distract our mate as much as possible while enjoying each other to the fullest.’ Raiden had mindlinked me earlier. ‘I need your help, because I’m pretty sure she’s freaking the fuck out.’He had used his stupid alpha voice when he asked me. I’m not even sure he realizes he uses a different voice for some things. It’s like more authoritarian, lower somehow?To me it just sounds stupid, because I’ve grown up with the man. Honestly, it sounds like a little boy's version of how a big, strong man should sound.But if it makes him feel good, who cares, right?I removed one sleeve, and then the next, while Raiden’s kisses went lower. “He knows, little mouse.”Lana looked at me, “first bows, then guns, then knives for clos
Hunting for our Mate no update
hi, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. Last Friday I had a meeting about my oldest and the school informed me he is doing so well, they think he can transfer to a different type of school. so, from special education to a school that still has smaller classes, but the kids there need less help. he's currently going to a school with kids who are on the autism spectrum, have adhd or behavior issues. it would be a chance for him to be in a classroom that isn't as loud or disruptive. Anyway, I've been busy contacting schools and visited two today. also my husband got a vasectomy today, so I'm his nurse lol. tomorrow I should be able to write. but I wanted to explain why it's been a bit hard to find time. I'm fine, just busy.
Hunting for our Mate 120. Prize
Raiden’s povBeing the alpha is fucking awesome. Especially when you have many people around to do all the parts of the job you don’t want to do. I’m the alpha of delegating.I don’t like numbers, so, Zev, why don’t you and Stephen handle it?I’d rather hang out with my mate instead of speaking to a girl I used to hook up with once, because she has a complaint. Suzie, you’ve got this. Go speak to someone who's probably going to be pissed because I don't remember anything past her name.I need to talk to some alphas who are supposed to be our allies. You know what, Dad… Aah, fuck, that is actually something only an alpha can do.To send someone else would look like I was disrespecting them. Not that I respect most of these dickheads; they’ve been working against me and my mate behind our backs.But it’s been a few weeks now since we took over, and I think it’s time to start hunting these hunters. And I’d rather do it with more people than less.Which means I need other packs to support
Hunting for our Mate 119. First Day
Atalanta’s pov“Are you getting your period or something?” Raiden asked before Zev hit him against his arm.“You can’t just ask a woman that!”Raiden rolled his eyes, “as if you would know when she’s about to have her period; you have only been back in this relationship for a little over a week.”“That’s not the point!” Zev argued back, while I stayed quiet, watching them fight over nothing.“What is the fucking point then?” Raiden asked. “Atalanta has been more quiet than usual and a bit grumpy,” he looked at me. “Sorry, little mouse, but you are a bit moody.” Then went back to Zev, “it’s just a question.”Zev sighed, “it could be many things, and to blame it on hormones is so immature.”“Besides,” Suzie added. “Lana was probably never allowed to behave differently during her periods back home, so who knows how differently she acts around that time? I mean, I never noticed anything, and we shared a room.”Raiden looked at her while shaking his head in disbelief, “you do know we share
Hunting for our Mate 118. Scream
Atalanta’s pov“Today was perfect, everything… Just, thank you, Lana. The breakfast, my surprise, the party. I’ll thank the rest later, but I knew you had a hand in most of it.” Suzie said, as we walked to the woods together.“Not the car; I had no idea Raiden was doing that.” I replied.“Yeah, that’s crazy.” Suzie laughed nervously.“Are you sure you want me there and not him?” I knew it might be better if her future alpha was here, instead of someone who had only shifted once.She shook her head, “no. I want you there. Besides, if Stephen and Raiden were both there, they would end up bickering, and I would be too busy telling them to shut up to shift.”I giggled, “probably.”“Besides, your first shift was so different. With the being knocked out and everything. I think you need a do-over. And I like the idea of doing this together with someone for the first time. I don’t need someone telling me what to do; I have my wolf for that. I just need people around me who have my back. Who wi
Hunting for our Mate 117. Sleep
Raiden’s pov‘It was so beautiful to see, and I just can’t believe how well the shift went.’ Atalanta said this as we ran back to the packhouse, still in our wolf shape.‘Uh-huh,’ I replied.She giggled, ‘you don’t want to talk right now?’‘No,’ I answered truthfully, until Zev loudly scoffed in our shared mindlink.‘Raiden! You can’t just say that!’‘Little mouse, normally I would love to hear all about how you supported your friend and how well your second time shifting went. I would love nothing more than to hear every single detail about tonight, but after. Not now.’Our mate giggled, while Zev growled. ‘You’re such an ass.’I sighed, ‘Zev… You know me better than anyone. Do you honestly think I possess the patience to listen to a story mere minutes after our mate informed us she wants to mark me?’‘Us.’“Yeah, whatever us. Do you think I’d actually be able to listen to anything she has to say? It would be a disservice to our sweet mate to let her tell her story about tonight, beca
