Irina

I TOOK TWO DAYS to regain my strength and just think everything through. I wanted to be sure that I was doing the right thing and not just rushing into this relationship because of the strange fever I had. I was dressed and ready when Hunter arrived and although my mom wasn’t entirely happy that I was pursuing this relationship, she was friendly enough. We said an awkward goodbye and Hunter put his hand on my lower back as we walked out. Images of what I dreamed about during the fever rushed through my body and a shiver ran down the back of my spine.

“Are you cold?” Hunter pulled me closer and I smiled as I shook my head. How did you tell your possible future boyfriend that you had wet dreams about him while you were sick?!

“No, I’m okay.” I felt the blush creep over my cheeks as he opened the door for me and we got into his beautiful classic sports car. When he slipped into the driver’s seat, I just had to say something. “I love the car, but it’s a bit cliché, don’t you think?

    IrinaI could almost lift my arms and feel as if I were flying if Hunter wasn’t running so damn fast. The wind blew through my hair and kissed my face and I wished I was like them. To be this free. To live without boundaries and just running barefoot in the forest must be the most amazing experience of all time! The trees were whizzing by and a couple of times, I thought we were going to run right into one, but Hunter would just side step quickly.When he finally started to slow down and came to a halt, I was completely out of breath with excitement. My cheeks were completely flushed, and adrenaline had flooded my body. Hunter stepped behind a tree and came back wearing only a pair of shorts. I almost swallowed my tongue at the sight of his tanned, naked upper body.“Like what you see?” He grinned and I rolled my eyes.“Well, for an old guy, you look pretty okay … Ish.” I shrugged, crossing my arms over my chest the second I felt my body respond to him. He put his arm around my should

    IrinaHis warmth was so inviting that it felt right to be in his arms. Our kiss deepened, and it almost felt as though I was losing something when we finally pulled apart. His cheeks turned red and he smiled when he stepped away from me, but he still held onto my hands.“I better go before …” He didn’t have to finish his sentence. I giggled slightly and I knew exactly what he meant. I nodded and watched him run down the stairs and to his car. He waited until I was inside and drove off and I leaned my back against the door breathing in deeply. If you asked me what my idea of the perfect date was, I would never have imagined that.“Hi, honey.” My mother’s voice pulled me out of my memories of the night and I looked up to find her standing at the top of the stairs smiling. “I take it the date went well?” She tilted her head to one side and I giggled again, pushing away from the door. I walked to the kitchen knowing she would follow and my dad probably wasn’t far behind. Switching on the

    IrinaHunter was the first to break the kiss and he pulled away sighing.“I’ve actually come to tell you I need to go out of town for a couple of days. Can we go out again on Friday? I should be back by then. Say around seven?” He looked a little worried, but as soon as I nodded, he smiled again. “Great, pick out the best bouquet you have in the shop for yourself. I will send Emily to come and settle the bill this afternoon.” He winked and I grinned at him. I felt a little speechless. I met Emily when I visited their place the first time.She seemed to be Hunter’s assistant or something. Hunter gave me a soft kiss on my forehead, and he was gone. It felt as if someone had sucked the air out of the room for a moment. Was this what he meant when he said we had a mate bond? Was this what he felt each time he left me? The shop door opened and I had to shake my head to clear it of all thoughts of Hunter so I could work.I spent the day taking care of customer orders and attending to the wa

  • The Alpha's Human Mate   Chapter 22 - Pack ranks and where I fit in.

    IrinaAfter they all greeted me, Hunter disappeared and when he returned, he was also in his wolf form. He bent down in front of me and I climbed on his back. I was nervous, but excited and when he howled into the night air, I felt something primal awaken inside of me. I howled and all eyes turned to me, making me giggle before he took off.There was something freeing in howling. It wasn’t something I had ever wanted to do before, but I had seen people on television do it, and it always seemed to break the chains that bound us. The pack ran just a couple of steps behind Hunter and I could just imagine how dangerous it could be for anybody who walked into the forest right at that very moment.When Hunter told me not to come here, I thought of wild animals. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine werewolves lived so close to our town. They ran like the wind all the way to the lake where they disappeared again, a group at a time to shift and change. When Hunter reappeared, he explained

    Irina“Irina, there is something serious I need to talk to you about.” Hunter’s voice suddenly filled with emotion. I had a feeling I wasn’t going to like what it was he had to talk to me about, but I nodded and we walked into the forest away from the pack. “Being the mate of a werewolf is dangerous enough as it is. Being the human mate of a werewolf …” I held my breath. Was he going to ask me to … “I need to appoint gamma guards to protect you whenever I’m not around.” I felt both relieved and disappointed at the same time! Deep down, I was hoping he wanted to turn me. I could just see it play out exactly the way it did in the movies. I was being seduced by a powerful beast. I could feel my body starting to respond and I pushed the thoughts out of my mind instantly!“I don’t know, Hunter. I know I don’t know much about your world, but it’s going to look very strange not just to my parents but to Miss Sally if I suddenly start walking around with bodyguards behind me.” I couldn’t imag

    HunterI KNEW THE MOMENT I realized Irina was my human mate, things weren’t going to be easy. We had a wonderful evening, and I wasn’t planning on playing the girlfriend card, but when I returned from my Alpha meeting, Emily informed me that Irina only picked her flowers the day before I arrived. It made me realize I would have to pull out all the stops to win her heart, and that was when I changed our date plans from dinner to a moonlight picnic with the pack.I was hoping that by showing her how amazing our lives were, I could … I sighed deeply. I had no idea what the hell I wanted to prove to her. She was a human and I was a werewolf. We led completely different lives. Hell, we didn’t even live in the same solar system, come to think of it, but I thought that if others could do it, why couldn’t I?I loved that she was trying, but it actually infuriated me when she wouldn’t just accept what I wanted to give her. No, that wasn’t what was going on. I couldn’t lie to myself. I wasn’t t

    Irina“Guys, what’s going on?” I sat back and studied them both. I had been carefully studying both my parents all afternoon and something was definitely wrong. My parents never fought for more than maybe an hour or two and then they were back to being totally in love.“There’s nothing going on, sweetheart.” My mother smiled but I could see she wasn’t happy. When my father sat back and crossed his arms, I just knew he was keeping quiet because of me.“Okay, you guys really have to start talking.” I wasn’t going to budge. Dealing with Hunter’s new additions to my life, I felt I needed calm somewhere and that was usually at home. My father sighed deeply. He leaned his arms on the table and his fingers intertwined so tightly that his knuckles turned white.“We don’t know if Hunter is the best match for your, honey.” He looked hurt when he said it. “Your mother feels we should let you find that out for yourself, but I just see red flags with this guy. I don’t trust him.” My dad sighed aga

    Irina“Yeah, having a black SUV with two buff guys sitting outside the store and my house kind of looks weird. They were just sitting there chasing away customers.” I laughed and I could see a smile on his face. Hunter was taking it a lot better than I expected, which was probably good. My feelings for Hunter were growing stronger, literally, by the second.“Okay, we can talk about it. What would work for you?” I sat back and breathed in his musky scent.“Not having them there at all.” I shrugged. “If you could tell me more about why you want them there, I think it would make it easier to figure something out.” I turned to look at him and sat upright. “I know there are things you are scared of telling me, but …” I sighed deeply and pulled my fingers through my hair. The wind had been blowing all over the place and the sun was slowly setting. I was feeling nervous but relaxed and if we couldn’t talk these things out tonight, it would change everything.“Okay, we have our normal enemies

    IrinaAfter a couple of weeks, the new place was built and we all moved in. I loved the new setup more than I thought I would and it was actually great fun to have Rosemary so close by. The children had done an amazing job in getting everyone settled into the new place and as I walked down the beach, I breathed in the fresh morning air.I missed Archer terribly. He would have loved this new place so much. He had always loved the lake. I met Rosemary on the way and we caught up on all the last-minute arrangements for the day. Hunter had finally accepted his new position in life and there was just one thing he asked of the kids which they gladly gave.Now that we were all settled in, it would be the official ceremony to bind our two packs together according to our ancient traditions. Today was Ingrid and Richard’s mating ceremony and I could feel the excitement in the air. The packs had already come together as one much easier than any of us could ever have imagined they would.On the f

    Irina“Oh, no! Don’t you dare put me in the middle of this!” I glared at Hunter who was glaring right back at me. The discussions had been going around in circles for hours without a solution and he had pulled me aside to ask me to order Richard and our daughter to move home. Hunter, being Hunter, had found the only way he believed this arrangement would work.He thought Richard could just become Alpha of our pack and choose someone else to take over his pack. As if it would be that damn easy! What was my mate thinking?!“I don’t see what the problem is.” He huffed and for a split second I saw traces of Archer in my husband. They looked so damn much alike! “Other males move to the packs of their females, why can’t he?” Hunter was pouting as he waved his hand through the air before clamping his arms tightly over his chest.“Would you have left your pack for me?” I studied my mate. “If I refused to live this life, Hunter. Would you have given up everything just for me?” I could see that

    IngridI was hoping I looked sexy, but I knew I didn’t as I fumbled to try and fit him inside me. I was just about to give up when Richard reached out and helped me and I nearly swallowed my tongue the moment he pushed inside of me. I liked this position! I had seen it in movies and always wondered about it, even if I looked away as soon as it came on.It felt as though he was going even deeper and I wondered if that was even possible. I wasn’t entirely sure if I should hunch on my legs or just move my hips, but clearly Richard knew what he was doing as he guided me and we were soon captured in the throes of passion!“Yeah, that’s it! Ride me!” He growled through clenched teeth and it gave me the small confidence boost I needed. I was doing it right! Richard pushed himself up and he clung to my body as I moved. It took a little longer for us to reach that peak this time, but just as I felt myself about to tumble over, he leaned closer. I felt his canines scarping my skin for just a mo

    IngridIt was as though that was all he needed to hear as he slowly started to push into me. In an instant, I was flooded with hunger. I wanted him more than anything. I needed him. The expression of needing someone … Really needing them finally made sense! The world finally made sense! Why men went to war for women made sense!Richard stopped pulling me out of my ridiculous thoughts and when a frown formed on his brow, I thought I had done something wrong.“I’m not sure if you know this, but this next part will hurt a little. I promise you it will be the one and only time I will ever hurt you.” He stroked a stray piece of hair out of my face and I nodded. I could have told him that it wouldn’t be the last time he hurt me, but I didn’t. My mind was running at a mile a minute with all sorts of distracting thoughts and I didn’t want to spoil the moment with any of them.As Richard thrust into me, I cried out and he held me for a moment. It was painful, but it wasn’t unbearable pain. I c

    IngridI wouldn’t say I was entirely innocent. I knew which parts went where and what to do with all those parts, I just hadn’t physically done any of it up to now. Why hadn’t I done it before?! Having him touch me in those sacred places felt out of this world! It was incredible! I had never in my life felt as relaxed and happy as I did in that tub in Richard’s arms.As Richard got out of the tub, I wondered if that was it. Was it over now? I knew it couldn’t possibly be it! He held out his hand and I frowned.“Is it over?” I pouted and he burst out laughing, making my cheeks turn a bright shade of red!“No, my sweet Ingrid. That was just the start. The water is getting cold. I thought we would move this to the bed where we could be more comfortable.” He smiled at my look of shock and I silently swore at myself. I shouldn’t have waited! At least if I had done it once before, I wouldn’t have been such a damn idiot the first time with my mate!Richard picked me up bridal style and carri

    Ingrid“Stay right there, okay?” He looked around and I nodded. I laughed when he started opening cupboards and swore. “I will be right back.” He grinned and disappeared. When he returned, he had a box filled with candles in hand and he walked right into the bathroom.“That is really not necessary, Richard. We didn’t know this was going to happen tonight.” I laughed as he opened the taps for the bath and started to light the candles.“In that case, you can light the candles while I get us some Champaigne.” He winked and disappeared before I could say anything else. I did as he said and I have to admit that it helped ease the nervousness I was feeling. When he returned with the Champaigne, I had lit all the candles and he opened the bottle for us. After pouring each of us a glass, he held out his glass to me and I blinked and watched him. I had never imagined him as someone who could be very romantic.“To us. May we only share happiness and love.” He sounded a little out of breath and

    IngridI scanned his room. His bedding was white, which was a surprise. A single black line decorated the border around the edge of the bedding and the pillow cases. A huge bed stood in the middle of the room and on either side was a set of beautiful antique free-standing cupboards.“This will be yours.” He rubbed his palms on his sides before opening the cupboard for me and I wondered if he was as nervous as I was.“Thanks.” I smiled as he opened the cupboard and I realized it was left empty for his mate. An awkward silence fell between us for a moment.“I will give you a moment to settle in. Would you like anything to eat or drink?” He was nervous! It was so damn cute!“Something to drink would be nice.” I smiled as I realized my mouth was feeling incredibly dry. “Something strong!” I laughed nervously as his face relaxed and he smiled. He nodded and disappeared while I unpacked my overnight bag and made my way to his bathroom. It was beautifully done in white and black marble. The

    IrinaHunter and I didn’t even have to ask the moment we saw Ingrid move. It was clear that she had found what she had been looking for all day and when they kissed, I nearly cried. We knew the boy. Hunter and I had been invited to his alpha ceremony while Ingrid was away on her trip. He was one of Archer’s friends from when they were younger, but the one thing that caught my attention the most was that he was Rosemary’s grandson!He wasn’t just any wolf, and thank the goddess, he wasn’t human!IngridRichard pulled away just enough so he could look into my eyes and I almost melted when he tucked a stray piece of my hair behind my ear. It reminded me of something I saw my father do for my mom once and how I thought that I wanted that kind of love one day.“Hi beautiful,” He smiled and I felt my cheeks turn bright red.“Hi.” Over the years, I looked at my brother’s friends and wondered about them. It was logical that I would one day be mated to an alpha or even a beta. Some of my frien

    IrinaThe excitement hung thick in the air in the morning as everyone got ready to attend the Founder’s Day festival. It was the one day the entire town came to a halt and took the time to celebrate our town. It felt as though we were celebrating Ingrid’s return for two continuous days. I loved every moment of it. In my mind’s eye, I could actually see the many dinners and festivals Ingrid experienced while she was away.This was exactly what our town needed after the hunter was there. People needed to see us moving between them. They needed to talk to us and be reminded that we were human. We had to show them we weren’t the monsters the hunter was trying to make us out to be. None of them knew the truth, of course. The sheriff was one of the first to greet us when we arrived and the relieved smile on his face said it all.We had been working overtime to squash any rumours that were still flying around and finally, things seemed to have returned to normal.I caught sight of Ingrid tal
