Zev’s pov

I want Lana back.

It was a simple thought that popped up in my head a few days ago after Suzie’s call, and it’s been like a virus taking over my brain.

It's all I can think about right now.

I’m not even sure how, but I want her back. No, I need her back, and I will do whatever it takes for how long it takes to get her back in my arms.

‘And Raiden?’ Rishi asks.

I sigh internally. I can’t tear them apart. I know they’re a package deal, and I also know winning back Lana is going to be much easier than getting Raiden to forgive me.

He hates me for what I did, and I can’t blame him.

I had many excuses why I did what I did, but they all seem meaningless now. I wanted to hurt her back, and I chose to do it in the way that would be the most painful to her.

‘But you didn’t physically hurt her.’ Rishi reminded me of this, as if it were something to take pride in. Oh, wow, Zev, you didn’t abuse a defenseless rejected mate of yours. Great job! You’re less evil than your father.

I stared

A longer one for Zev. Hope you like it. He needs to do some work first, though.

YES! A bonus chapter AND it’s finally Zev’s POV! Ooooh! It’s getting good now! Be a double agent and grovel at Lana’s feet. Maybe Zev will develop into a man grit and less winey tortured boy. I am here for it all. Thank Naomi!

  • Hunting for our Mate   93. Leave the Door Open

    Atalanta’s povI am no stranger to feeling guilt, but this is a type of guilt I am new to. How could Zev’s father cheat on his mate? How could it not eat him up inside, because I feel like I’ve just betrayed Raiden and I only talked to Zev?‘Only talked? I think there was a bit more to it.’ Artemis said.She was right. The tension between us was unbearable. I had wanted to run away, but it was like I couldn’t. Is this the mate bond between us? Or have all my attempts to stop being in love with Zev simply not worked?Whatever the reason, it can’t happen again.‘You were meant to have two.’My wolf had always been the most vocal about Zev’s treatment toward me. She always said I didn’t deserve what he was doing. Why was she the one urging me to give him another chance?‘Because at the time he wasn’t ready to be your mate. I am not saying to let him into your heart right away. But he and Rishi are my mates too. Maybe they can prove themselves worthy of us.’Worthy…Am I really worthy of t

    A few of you have asked me about the new story for the Iron River pack and I had this idea this evening and decided to write a chapter.I would love to hear your opinions. This is just a draft and I haven't figured out most of the story.anyway, here it is...Nivia’s pov“You…” He growled lowly.I did not want to turn around, recognizing the voice of the person I had grown to hate over the past few months.The whole evening I had searched for this delicious scent of burned wood and marshmallow. It’s a scent that isn’t just delicious, but there are memories tied to it. Memories of having smores with my great grandparents and my grandparents.Memories of them sharing laughs and drinks around the fireplaces while I listened to their stories.My favorites were the love stories, and second came the ones of war.While war isn’t something to celebrate, they told their stories in such a way that made the fighting almost sound romantic. They weren’t just fighting to protect themselves, but thos

    I need two chapters from both their pov for me to have a story idea. But I will try to write whenever I have time and add chapters slowly.in the mean time, I will continue to try and post at least five times a week for Hunting for Our mate. Because there is a lot more to come!I will start on chapter 94 right now. So the update should be up in a few hours if all goes well.Oh, and don't hate Ford too much. I'm sure there's a nice guy in there somewhere. lol.I have tried to make him sound british. As a dutch person I watch a lot of british and american tv, so that's helped with my English. But Ford isn't just british, he's a snob as well.

    Raiden’s povI knew something was up. I always do. But I also know my little mouse sometimes needs time to process. She is not used to voicing her thoughts or saying what she wants or needs.It’s my job to be her safe place. To allow her to come to me when she needs to.And I know when my mate is lying and she isn’t lying, she’s trying to find the right words."Does it not bother you that she's still not able to speak freely?" Atlas asked.It does. But maybe that’s on me. Or on her parents. Yeah, of course I get insecure when she doesn’t talk to me. Especially because I know if Zev wasn’t an asshole, she’d be able to confide in him.‘What if that was still, -‘Nope. Not even going to go there. There are some things that are unforgivable. Rejection is not something you can just do, change your mind, and then take it back. A rejection is permanent. It hurts for a reason.Your heart isn’t merely breaking; it’s severing the connection, the bond, to your mate.I am glad Atalanta hasn’t had

    Zev’s pov"Ethan, you can't possibly be allowing Raiden to do this." Once Raiden had left the room with Lana, Steve spoke.Raiden had looked at me, as if he were trying to make me jealous. As if he were trying to show me what I could never have. And it worked to a degree. I was jealous.Alpha Ethan sighed, “I am not letting Raiden do anything. He’s an adult, capable of making his own choices. We’ve always noticed Raiden and Stephen didn’t get along as well as we wanted to.”“Yet you did nothing to fix that.” Steve replied.“I am still the alpha, Steve.” Ethan growled. “Don’t test me right now. Like Grace said, we are not making any rash decisions. Suzie isn’t of age yet, so while she is here she can join Stephen during his beta training. It will give her a chance to make a decision, and if Suzie decides not to accept Raiden’s offer, it means Stephen won’t be behind in training.”“You want him to work together with her?” Steve looked at Suzie as if she were worthless.

    A short chapter so i made it free, because it feels wrong charging so much for only 1300 words.It's my youngest birthday, today. He's six.- - - - - - - -Raiden’s pov“I’ve been hiding something from you.” I admitted to my little mouse.When I had walked into the room today, she had quickly hid something in her closet. This had not been the first time this week. I had been busy helping dad, but I made sure to spend time with my mate. It helped Suzie was here because it meant there was another person looking out for Atalanta.Unfortunately, Suzie was occupied with her training to become my beta. So my mouse was still alone a lot of the time. Mom spent some time teaching her some Luna stuff during the day; I made sure to train her every morning, and Suzie went on runs with Atalanta as well.But I couldn’t shake the feeling that I needed to be here all the time.I couldn’t get rid of this nagging thought that my mate wasn’t okay. That she needed me.There was something going on.Yet s

    Zev’s povThere’s always a bit of time between work and dinner, and for the last few days I’ve spent it either writing in my journal or writing letters to Lana.In the past, when I wrote my mom, it felt therapeutic. When I started writing with Lana, I stopped, but my therapist encouraged me to restart.For years I have created this story in my head of what happened with my dad and my mom, and since my talk with Ethan and Grace, I’m not sure what memories are real and what I made up.So, my therapist told me to just write down my thoughts. Whenever a memory or a feeling pops up, not to push it down or to analyze it. But to feel it. To go through it to see what’s on the other side.She shared something that made me laugh. Something this guy once said. Basically, the guy said when someone pees in your glass of water, adding sugar does nothing to get rid of the pee. It’s still there, even if it just tastes sweeter.My therapist said life and trauma are like that. When bad things happen, yo

    Raiden’s pov“Now stay down,” I growled.Zev was too stubborn to stay on the ground and pushed himself up.Fine. If he wants to get beaten to a pulp again, I'll gladly oblige."It was my destiny to stand by your side." Zev said, as he got up. "You've always wanted me to be your beta, but that's not where I belong. My place was not next to you, but next to Lana.”I scoffed, “yet you had no problem giving it up.”Zev put his hands up, ready to continue our fight. I let him get one hit in before hitting him against the ribs again.“If you had been there, you could have seen it; it has never been easy to let Lana go. That’s why I was such a, -““A dick? Yeah, I don’t want to hear your excuses, Zev. While you were feeling sorry for yourself, I was out there hunting for our mate. I was trying to find her and get her out while you were whining in your bed.” I said as I quickly punched him three times. “Just fight me.”“You had no problem giving up our friendship,” Zev replied, hitting me.He

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
