Hunting for our Mate 98. Tear
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

Atalanta’s pov"So... why are you smiling?” Suzie asked while she was sipping on her cocktail through a straw.“Your story reminded me of the first kiss I had with Raiden,” I admitted. I was feeling a bit tipsy after drinking a few too many fruity cocktails.Suzie and Luna Grace had offered to take me out to distract me, and they had. Luna Grace had shared how she and Alpha Ethan had met and fallen in love. And Suzie had talked about how Stephen suddenly didn’t flirt with her anymore or tried asking her out.But after a few drinks, she had admitted they had something called "hate-sex," which needed to be explained to me what it was.I had never had sex out of anger. Or I don’t think so.‘You rarely get angry.’ Artemis chimed in.“Tell us,” Luna Grace asked. “But skip the details.” She giggled.“Raiden said how much he and Zev liked me and how they wanted to help me, and he admitted that he liked me a bit too much but felt guilty about Zev.” I recalled. It felt like another life.I smil

Zev’s povWhat 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! I'm taking today off from writing because I had surgery yesterday. it all went well, although I did have a rough time staying awake. me and morfine are not friends. I always get dizzy and nauseous. Anyway, since it's the Netherlands, I will now self medicate with Tylenol, and that's it. lol. and I got my period! so yeah, that's great. I'm fine, though. 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
Last Updated : 2024-11-06Hunting 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

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
Last Updated : 2024-11-08Hunting 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
Last Updated : 2024-11-09Hunting 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

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
