Chapter 2 - Evil temptress or innocent girl?

“HONEY! THERE IS SOMEONE AT THE DOOR FOR YOU!” My mom shouted upstairs and I rushed down without even thinking about it. The older man stepped through the door and I hit a total blank. He was carrying a huge bunch of flowers and I took them as he offered them to me.
“Hi, I’m Hunter.” He smiled and I looked at my mother while trying my best to balance the flowers. The arrangement was so huge that I was having a hard time holding onto it.
“Let me take that for you sweetheart,” My mother smiled and took the huge vase from me. She winked and I frowned. What the hell was she winking at?! “You can talk outside on the porch if you want some privacy. Daddy is outside in the garage and I will be in the kitchen.” My mother laughed, making me frown even deeper as I bit down on my bottom lip.
How the hell did he find me? Was he some kind of stalker, or kidnapper?! I closed the door behind us as I showed him to the porch. Taking a seat on the single chair, I blinked at him for a moment, seeing a tiny drop of sweat start to form on his brow.
“I’m Irina.” A silly giggle escaped and I rolled my eyes as amusement formed in his.
“I know. I’m sorry to just barge in like this.” He rubbed palms on the sides of his pants and finally sat down, but he was actually looking very nervous. I frowned, realizing he already knew my name.
“Listen, I don’t know who you are …” I jumped up and quickly made my way closer to the door when I noticed he hadn’t moved at all.
“I’m Hunter. I’m sure you’ve heard about my pa … my family and me, who live out in the woods just outside of town.” He sighed and stood up when I didn’t make any move to sit back down. “I know it looks strange that I came to your house, but I was hoping I could take you out to dinner.” He threw his arms in the air as if he thought I was going to say no and I thought about saying no for a moment then decided against it. If I was ever going to find the perfect guy to build my perfect life with, I had to start dating somewhere!
“Okay,” I crossed my arms and smiled at him. His face lit up for a moment before it changed again as he stuffed his hands inside his pockets.
“Great. I will pick you up at seven tonight.” He nodded and as he was making his way down the stairs I yelled after him.
“Where are we going? I just want to know what to wear.” I tilted my head to one side. He was older, but he was damn handsome! One date couldn’t hurt, could it? There have been no serial murders in our town. There was just the odd animal attack, so I believed I would be safe with him. He also brought flowers to my house, and my mother saw his face. Yeah, there was no way he was going to kill or kidnap me.
“We are just going for dinner. Something nice, but not too formal.” He smiled as he walked and my stomach made a little flip. Wow, his smile was absolutely gorgeous. Only then did I notice the black SUV that had been parked in front of our home. A guy dressed in black jeans and a white shirt opened the back door and Hunter climbed in and I waved as they drove off. As soon as they were out of sight, my mom appeared on the porch, making me realize I had been staring at the empty street.
“Well, he sure seemed nice.” She winked at me. There was a bit of an age difference between my parents as well, but if I had to take a guess, I would say it wasn’t as huge as the one between me and Hunter. It didn’t matter anyway. He would quickly find out I wasn’t what he was looking for and all of this would be over. I decided to do a little of social stalking and rushed up to my room to check him out.
Hunter
OKAY, SO ASKING the girl out on a date wasn’t entirely the plan. I was going to go to her house and reject her even if she wouldn’t understand what I was doing. That was until I saw her standing there in front of me. She didn’t have any make-up on and her hair was tied into two braids. Her shorts nearly showed half her butt and her shirt pulled up just high enough that I could see her belly button when she crossed her arms.
She was an evil temptress and an innocent human all rolled into one and that was what intrigued me the most. She seemed so innocent, yet at the same time, I nearly pulled her into my arms and kissed her! That was when I decided on dinner. There was no rush in rejecting her, was there? It wasn’t like she was out prowling for a mate.
The information I was able to gather about Irina was actually surprising. She was a straight A student and had apparently never had a boyfriend. She worked weekends at the local flower shop, and although she went out with some wild friends, she hardly ever drank. Her parents had been together forever and they had been living in that little house of theirs since the day they got married.
Her grandparents had all passed away and she had no siblings. She had just finished school and the mere thought of it made me picture her in a school uniform sucking on a lollipop. I shook the thought out of my mind as soon as I felt my pants pinch in my crotch area! I was going to have to think of something neutral at dinner if I was going to stop myself from ripping her clothes off!

IrinaI SMACKED MY mother’s shoulder when she commented on the black SUV parked outside our house! My father raised a brow and commented that our neighbours were going to think we were part of the mob and I rolled my eyes sighing! Great! My parents were already teasing the older man who asked me out on a date after only seeing me one time!Hunter held out his arm and I carefully slipped my hand into it as we walked down the steps toward the car. The same young man in black jeans and pristine white shirt opened the back door and I thanked him before slipping into the back. I noted another young man dressed similarly behind the wheel and introduced myself. Wow! All of them were gorgeous! Hunter jumped in beside me and the car pulled out into the road.“That is Eli, my driver and Liam is my be… My bodyguard.” Hunter introduced us, but I got the feeling they already knew who I was. We arrived at the only fancy restaurant in town and I had to smile. It was where everybody had their proper

IrinaTHE TIME SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN each time I looked at the watch. I couldn’t believe that I was actually excited about this date with Hunter. I should have been disgusted that an old guy was interested in me, yet I found myself daydreaming about his smile and the way he looked at me.When the time finally came to go to bed, I found myself staring out of my window. It was a clear night and the wind softly blew, making my curtains float as if they were a veil of some sort. We were right in the middle of summer and the days were humid and far too hot, but the nights were just absolutely gorgeous. When I looked at the time, it was already two in the morning and I still hadn’t slept a wink! If I was going to make it through my date without falling asleep, I seriously needed to get some sleep. I made my way downstairs to grab some warm milk and met my mother in the kitchen.“Can’t sleep?” She smiled and winked and I nodded.“Yeah,” I sighed. I had a lot on my mind. So much that I didn’t e

Irina“Two steaks medium rare …” I sat there blinking at Hunter. After we had been shown to our table, he simply ordered for the both of us without so much as a look my way to find out if I wanted something different. I wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about it. We were on a date and I didn’t want to cause a scene. I also didn’t want him thinking he could just decide for me. I waited until the waitress left and then glared at him.“Are you going to cut my steak for me as well?” I frowned as my heart pounded in my chest. I knew I was probably overreacting, but he could at least have asked if I wanted something different. A little laugh escaped between his lips, accentuating their fullness and making me slightly gasp for my breath. As I felt my panties growing a little wet! My only saving grace was that he couldn’t possibly know! What the hell was happening to me? What was he doing to me? I cleared my throat and noted a slight smile on his lips right before he took a sip of wine.“So, t

IrinaAs expected, my parents were waiting to hear all the details, but I didn’t want to talk to them about it. Not yet. My mind was all over the place and so were my emotions and I didn’t want to cry in front of them. It would just upset them, and they would probably tell me not to go out with Hunter again. I said good night and went up to my room to try and figure out what it was that I was feeling.More importantly, what I thought about our date. I spent all night tossing and turning and by morning, I was bone tired. I knew the moment I walked into the kitchen my parents would want to know how our date went and I still didn’t know what to tell them. I had to make sure that whatever it was, it wasn’t bad.“It wasn’t bad.” I tried to smile, but I was just too tired to fake it.“Then why did I hear you tossing all night, sweetheart?” My mother was a very light sleeper and I should have known my creaky bed would wake her.“It was a normal date, I guess.” I sighed, shrugging.

HunterSEEING HER UP ON THAT STAGE, affected me more than I thought it would. As Alpha, it was my duty to be there for our students who graduated. They went through a really tough time during high school. They didn’t shift in front of humans, and our secret was safe.She looked so damn sweet and innocent in her pink dress that my pants were pulling tightly and it was making it difficult to focus on anything else. I took only a moment to congratulate the three wolves before finding her in the crowd. Before I could help myself, I made my way through the crowd and slipped my arm around her waist. She noticed me while she was making her speech, and it almost seemed as though she was trying to get away from me right now. Her eyes filled with shock as I pulled her a little closer.“Great speech.” I winked, but for some odd reason fury flashed in her eyes.“Don’t. I’m the world's worst public speaker.” Her delicate hands twisted together so tightly that her knuckles turned white as she scann

IrinaI walked into the house feeling as if I was floating! It was so weird! He was weird. His people were just … Weird! Okay, so it didn’t look as though they were some kind of cult. He hadn’t mentioned anything like that. I told my parents about the date and then rushed upstairs. I was actually happy! My mind is filled with memories of our time together and I can actually imagine us having a future.It was far too soon to be feeling this way, wasn’t it? I frowned as I looked at myself in the mirror. It wasn’t. My parents always told me how their eyes met and they instantly fell in love. They were high school sweethearts and had been together ever since. Why couldn’t I have something similar, or the same? I fell on my bed and thought about Hunter and what the future could look like if we did stay together.I closed my eyes and imagined myself living with him and his group of people in the forest. They all lived in wooden cabins. They sat around huge bonfires and sang songs and had hu

HunterI didn’t even realize that humans could go into heat! I didn’t care what her parents would think, and as I walked into the hospital waiting area, I realized how incredibly stupid I had been! I arranged for guards all throughout the hospital to protect my mate from any unwanted attention, and in the process drew attention from the humans.“How is she doing?” I forced myself to focus on her parents, who were looking too distraught to worry about how I heard about it and what I was doing there. Her mother explained that the doctors were still trying to figure out what was wrong with her. I nodded and called our doctor through the pack link. I wasn’t sure if he would be able to help, but at least he knew what Irina needed during heat.Thankfully, it wasn’t a life-threatening disease, but I couldn’t very well tell her parents that. Everything in me was screaming for me to go to her, but I didn’t dare. I couldn’t take the chance. If I did, I knew there would be no way I would be able

HunterWE HAD BEEN UP ALL NIGHT, fighting all the intruders. Some weren’t even rogues! By the time morning came, I breathed a deep sigh. They didn’t come so thick and fast during the daytime. I finally walked into the hospital to get a report on Irina when I noticed her mother sitting alone in the waiting room crying. I took a seat beside her and felt awful when she apologized for crying.“There is no need to apologize.” I patted her hand while she wiped her tears.“I try not to cry in front of her father. We just can’t lose our girl.” Irina’s mother was looking very pale.“Have you eaten anything? Can I get you anything?” I was worried about her. Irina would be shattered if anything happened to her mother. They were a very tight family. It was going to make things a little tough when we became mates. I hadn’t figured out how I could accept her yet. Hell, I wasn’t even sure if I should. It could upset the very delicate balance there was between us and humans.“Would you like to see he

The Alpha's Human Mate Chapter 116 - The end.
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
The Alpha's Human Mate Chapter 108 - Love at the festival
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
