Hello, everybody <3 This is the last chapter of the month, so I wanted to send a special thanks to Dalma Czesznak for all the gems and Penny Zagrafidis for all the comments (and gems too). It's incentives like these that keep me writing even in difficult times. And, of course, I also really want to thank Namrata, Ese Nam, Cynthia Dsouza, Jeanne Niskiewicz, Jane Melgar, Holly, Jenny Luc, Nelly Mazariegos and Yamini for the gems given. You can all rest assured that one of the reasons The Alpha's Troublemaker Wife continues to have daily updates is because of you <3 See you tomorrow with the April chapter schedule!
“What do you mean by that?” Hunter blinked, more dubious than incredulous, as he really couldn't imagine Corinne actually tearing apart one of the tigers that had already done her harm, as much as they all certainly deserved it. “When... When I was a child...” her hands tightened on him, as if telling him this was causing physical pain “I wasn't used to the type of treatment I started to receive after Seraphina... Died. I was the princess of the pack and received all the attention and pampering you can imagine. It couldn't be any different, since Seraphina made it very clear that she expected me to become her heir and father was..." Corinne bit her lip hard, and Hunter debated whether or not he should tell her that he already knew the whole truth. about Eli being bewitched, but she continued talking before he could make a decision “Forget it. That doesn't matter. The truth is, after Juliet finally became the Alpha's wife as she always should have been and the pack realized that they h
“Well, if they continued, maybe you should have broken their bones too, instead of just dislocating them.” Hunter shrugged, his voice calm, causing her to look back at him in shock. “You don’t have to be gentle with me…” she sniffed “I know how terrible it is to hit children who were weaker than me. In fact, that was what made me accept my father's decision to send me to the countryside without tears or tantrums. I would miss them so much, but I knew it was too late for me. I was seen as a menace to the pack and shouldn't be there anymore, even though the main reason they decided that was that assassination attempt.” “It is terrible for an adult to hit a defenseless child. A single child, being bullied, reacting to the mistreatment of several others seems very reasonable to me.” He stated, with conviction “If I had a daughter, I could even talk to her about h
Corinne hadn't realized how poorly she'd been sleeping lately until she had a night's sleep as good as this one. Tossing and turning between the sheets in that peaceful awakening, she sighed contentedly, surprised at how light she was feeling that morning. It was a joy so pure and warm that, even without her consent, her still sleepy thoughts began to crawl, looking for the reason for that feeling...Oh, of course, Hunter had visited her last night. She had cried, true, but only because he had made her feel welcomed and wanted like never before in her life. Maybe his reasons could just come from gratitude for the things she had done or the friendship they had managed to build, but... For her, it just didn't matter. For the first time, she just wanted to enjoy the feeling of knowing there was somewhere else in the world, other than her home with her family, that would be there to take her when she cried, ju
Corinne thought things were bad a few days ago, when her family had arrived in Calibur. However, now, she would do anything to return to that time.“Eli, stop making that face!” she heard Juliet mutter from across the dining table, as she elbowed her mate “Corinne already explained what happened. What more do you want?”“I want the head of that son of a bitch who dared to enter my daughter’s room!” Eli growled softly, angry.Swallowing hard, Corinne turned her eyes to where Hunter was sat before her, eating his dinner quietly, though she had no doubt he could hear the Valiant's every word. In fact, his patience and silence with the whole situation had surprised her. All day long, ever since that morning when Gregory had caught t
“So you’re just going to ignore all your responsibilities and abandon the tigers of the pack in exchange for the well-being of a single one?” Gavin asked, coldly “Remember, Eli, that before you were forced to become a father, you were already an Alpha. Furthermore, your mate herself told us that the girl is content among wolves.” He looked at Corinne again, and she had to fight not to give any reaction other than indifference “If the rumors we have heard are true, she considered our former enemies more worthy of her abilities than us, as she strove to improve her reputation among them as she never did in Valiant.”“How dare you talk like that, Gavin?” Declan grunted, and Corinne was relieved that all eyes turned to him and probably no one noticed how she flinched at those words “Corinne brought several victories to us during the time she was respo
“I'm telling you, Dad. This is all a misunderstanding! What would I be interested in stealing Corinne’s letters anyway?” Diego continued to try to justify himself to Eli, with his voice echoing through the empty hallway and making Hunter feel more and more like he wanted to rip his face in half.“Gregory pressed the messenger and he said the letters would be under the floorboards of our old hunting cabin, Diego! Only you have access to that place, now.” The Alpha of the Tigers growled, with a mix of anger and disappointment “How could you do something like that to your sister? She might have thought we had abandoned her...”"Do not exaggerate. Corinne could never doubt her beloved father’s love for her, could she?” Diego seems to want to sound warm, but his gritted teeth make it difficult “Besides, it'
“And so Hunter put himself in the way of receiving the trash bucket in your place?” Declan's eyes widened, as soon as Corinne finished telling him part of the details of her stay there “I don't know what's more strange, whether it's the behavior of this crazy girl or the fact that your husband allowed her to stay for so long. nearby.”“It’s a... Complicated situation.” Corinne bit her lip, not wanting her brother to think badly of Hunter “But, I guarantee you, if he was the kind of man who kept his lover under the same roof as his wife, temporary wife or not, I would never have even formed a friendship with him. Jennifer really was... Just someone he saw as family. And he proved that to me over time, even if it forced him to... Reveal certain things that I know weren't easy for him.”“So…
"Are you serious?" Declan laughed, surprising her “I was thinking Hunter was a big son of a bitch, who had rejected you as his mate several times and still dared to act all possessive around you, but... Come on, Cory. You said things have changed a lot since the first time you saw each other, right? What prevents his feelings from changing?”“I'd like to think so, but... Hunter and I have had plenty of moments where he's had the opportunity to tell me he's changed his mind, but... He never did. And, I think it was pretty obvious after that scene with the elders, but he's not the type of man who spares words to express what he's thinking. That's because...” Corinne swallowed hard “I've been wondering if perhaps the best thing for me would be to consider Calibur just a place I can visit from time to time. Living here would be incredible, but at the same time terrible. And I thin
