“All right, Opal, you’re getting a one in a million chance today, so behave yourself, will you?” Corinne murmured to the mare, patting her back as she slowly guided her toward the outside of the almost completely deserted barn “This is our chance to prove to everyone that you're not just waiting for the right moment to destroy this entire pack, so make the most of your freedom. Especially since your roommates should be back from pasture in just a few hours, if the plans James told me go as expected.” Snorting almost as if she could understand her advice, Opal trudged to a trough full of water near a tree, drinking there while Corinne finished brushing her back fur, careful not to agitate her by accidentally touching her belly. She was very proud of how Opal had evolved in the last few days that she had been responsible for taking care of her, although, Corinne had to admit, she was the most temperamental
“And, again, we found no trace of the invaders in the forest.” Aiden sighed “Whoever they are, they know very well how to cover their tracks, but we gonna keep looking. At least the tigers' entry into patrols has helped us better protect the borders. We have not had any further reports of invasion, not even in the most remote regions.” “That's good…” Hunter grumbled, trying hard to focus on what Aiden was saying, though his eyes continued to move toward the window of his office, hoping to perhaps meet a certain pair of turquoise eyes outside. “It’s great, isn’t it?” Jennifer celebrated nearby, sitting in one of the armchairs near his desk as she always did when she insisted on attending his meetings, although that day he was too lost in thought to pay attention to her “This means that soon this alliance will no longer be necessary, it is not? Everything will
“You promised me that nothing would change after she got here, but now it seems like you don't think about anything other than her! Even when you look at me, it seems like your mind is with her!” “I promise you I wouldn't allow anyone to be in danger while she was here. Furthermore, I have already made it very clear that what happens in my temporary marriage is not a matter you should be concerned about.” Hunter grunted, starting to lose his patience “But since you're clearly still not capable of understanding this, go to your room and let us work. I am busy." “Now it’s always like this! You are always busy for me!” she whimpered “I bet you wouldn’t even care if she killed me right now, before your eyes…” “Do what the Alpha says and go to your room, Jennifer.” Isabelle advised “Before you say something you might
“Why… You…?” Corinne blinked, as if she was the only one who was surprised there, even though her arms and clothes were covered in blood. “Oh, well…” she looked at herself and then sighed “Here we go again.” “What…?” Hunter whispered, too shocked to even growl, looking down her body to see how, in addition to the blood, the knees of her jeans were filthy with mud, as if she had knelt on the ground so she could split someone in half and being painted red in that “What the fuck did you do…?” “Wait, Hunter…” Felix appears running after Corinne, looking calmer than Hunter expected, in front of that scene “I would never have imagined that one day I would say that about a tiger, especially about this girl, but… It's not what it seems.” “Isn’t that what it looks like?” Hunter glanced between the two, his Alpha instinct
Hunter had enough of that shit. He was tired of living in confusion, waiting to know if that tigress's next move would be to save someone else's life or set the pack on fire. So, he had decided. Enough of half words, doubts and that woman acting as if she were a poor victim being mistreated by everyone. He would confront her once and for all and would only leave her room when he had a definitive answer as to whether she was a threat or just a simple troublemaker who was always getting herself into the most unusual situations possible.“Uh… My Alpha…” Cindy followed closely behind him as he reached toward Corinne's door “I don't think that's a good idea…”“That room doesn’t belong to that woman, Cindy. This is my house and I can go into any room of it whenever I want.” he growled, harsher than he int
"I heard about your pack having fewer members than ours, but there was no one among these tigers who could take responsibility for the safety of the pack, in addition to the Alpha’s own blood and flesh?”“The tigers of my pack have always done everything they can to protect each generation of Valiant!” she growled and Hunter felt faint as he saw her turquoise eyes shine even more brightly, as a reflection of the presence of her inner beast “This has nothing to do with us teaching our cubs to defend themselves…”“And then send them to war?” he replied “As far as I know, you are not your father’s heir, right? What is the need for him to put you through the kind of training necessary to be on the front lines during a life and death battle?”&ldquo
“Hunter! There you are!" Jennifer's scream arrived before her and, despite being slightly uncomfortable at being caught there, Hunter remained exactly where he was, standing in the middle of the grass in his house's back garden, his eyes focused on the view from the window nearby "What are you doing standing here?” she happily reached for him so she could wrap her hands around his arm “If you have free time now, why don't we go up to my room? I know you always refuse, but frankly, I don't know why you think it would be inappropriate if I served you some food there... Hey, what are you looking at so much...?” The cheerful, warm tone in her voice was lost the instant Jennifer seemed to follow his line of sight and realized what, or rather who, Hunter was watching. The window next to the back garden belonged to the library area of his house, which was also the library of the entire city and which Hunter al
Before he could even get close enough to the window, however, someone else arrived first. A large tigress placed herself between Jeremy and the bookshelf, using her paws to push the structure away from the boy while using her body to protect him. With the blow, the bookshelf fell backwards again, hitting the other shelves behind it and starting an extremely loud and chaotic domino effect that only ended when the last shelf in the row fell onto a nearby table, leaving a terrible mess of broken wood and books lying on the floor.“Oh, man…” Jeremy muttered, in a mixture of shock and desolation “My father will even sell my clothes to pay for this… And the Alpha will kill me.”In response, Corinne's bestial form just snorted, as if agreeing with the boy, even worrying about pushing the nearest bookshelf away, to allow the young
"Alice! Alice!”That voice sounded at the same moment Alice opened the coffee shop's door, making the small bell overhead tinkling. Her eyes were heavy and her shoulders were so low that they seemed to be almost touching the floor, but she still forced herself to smile at her best friend, just as Lucy got up from the small table where she was sitting and came running over to her."Oh, dear, I'm so sorry..." Lucy whined, and, as always, Alice could see in her poor friend's blue eyes that she had been crying "Are you okay?""Yes, I'm fine." Alice tried hard to keep that smile on her lips “It was painful to see Mrs. Williams in that coffin, but, she was suffering so much the last few days...” she sighed, as her friend held her shoulders and guided her to the table where Lucy had left “The only thing that consoles me is that she was always saying she wanted to rest. She looked so peaceful at the funeral... I think she was finally able to make it.”“That bastard son of hers really refused
Well, everyone, with that, we concluded the story of Hunter and Corinne. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who got here and supported this story in every way, from comments, to gems and reviews! This was my favorite story to write for GoodNovel so far and I wanted you all to know that having you with me was what made it happen. Thank you very much, I hope to see you all in my next stories!
Sunny Calibur was exactly like the sorceress who had plagued all the packs in the region years ago. That's because, as much as her parents hated it when someone used that name, that woman, who had been dead for many years, was her grandmother. Maybe she shouldn't think that way, but for Sunny, it was just the truth and she was fine with it, just as she had gotten used to the looks the tigers from her mother's homeland gave her, whenever her mother's family paid a visit.“Here they are!” her mother, Luna Corinne, cheered happily as the Valiant carriage pulled up, and Sunny just shook her hands with a smile on her face.“I told you they were just a little late because of the mud last night's storm caused.” She assured, tucking a strand behind her mother's ear, before she and her parents approached to greet her grandparents and her uncle.“Oh, my dear.” Her grandma was the first to get out of the carriage, with a huge smile on her face as she hugged her “I swear you look taller and more
"This is ridiculous! Get out of my way, Isabelle! I have the right to enter this room!” Hunter grunted, on the verge of despair, but Isabelle resorted to moving out of the door to his and Corinne's room.“Not while you’re acting like you’re the one giving birth.” His cousin snorted, placing one hand on his hip while holding his baby son, Nicholas, with the other, even though he was already much bigger than any other 1-year-old boy in the entire pack “Now, sit down, take a deep breath and try to calm down. I’m not going to let you go in there in that nervous state, just to make Corinne scared like you.”“How can I not be nervous? She was in a lot of pain! What if there is something wrong with the baby? And if the birth ends up being more than her body can handle!” he panted at that mere thought “Enough! Get out of that door before I get you out, Isabelle! I need to check on my wife!’“For the love of all the Gods, Hunter, I’m sure….”The sound of thin, high-pitched crying interrupted t
“Hunter, can you stop pacing like a goose?” William grunted next to him at the altar, but Hunter solemnly ignored him, continuing to do it again and again all the way in front of the Moon God's stained glass window.That little exercise was the only thing that was managing to keep him and his wolf under control while Corinne didn't show up to marry him. Not that he didn't know he was acting crazy, since she had already accepted his marriage proposal and probably wouldn't run away from him, but... Hell, all he wanted most was for that day to be everything their first marriage had not been.It was almost crazy to think that just a year ago, he was in that exact suit, standing in that same spot, but with a completely different feeling in his chest as he waited for his bride. When he thought about what Corinne's life was like at the time she first set foot in Calibur, only to find her mate and be rejected by him right away...Fuck, there was that feeling again that he could spend the rest
“Jennifer?” Corinne asked, surprised to find Hunter's sister standing there, with what appeared to be a suitcase in her hands in a backpack on her back.“Ah, you...” Jennifer stammered, immediately turning pale “Listen, I didn't come here to try to ruin your wedding or anything like that, okay? So don't blow my head off with your magical powers or anything like that! I'm already leaving anyway! It's not like I can bother you anymore. I just... I just wanted to see this house one last time, before I leave.”“I would never do something like that, Jennifer…” Corinne sighed, until she realized what she had said “Wait, are you leaving? Where?"“And does it matter?” the young wolf growled, cowering “Nobody wants me in this place anymore. I don'
“Bring some more staples over here! We can’t risk this hairstyle falling apart!” Penelope screamed, and Corinne had to fight the instinct to flinch, as she knew that any movement could destroy that intricate hairstyle and consequently make Penelope want to end her life “Quick! One moment longer and we’ll be late!”“Why are you so worried and ordering everyone around?” Nicole grunted, but still passed the hairpins to the swan princess, allowing her to continue making waves and pinning up various parts of Corinne's hair, even though theoretically everything was already done “My sister needs time to enjoy her marriage, you know?”“Take a step back, brat. You’re not even old enough to have a mate and know what it means to have a perfect marriage.” Penelope snorted “At least I'm here
“Hunter!” Corinne gasped when Hunter tried to insert his hands down her pants, but that didn't stop him from continuing “We... We've already been away for five days... We can't take any longer. People must be waiting for us...” her words warned, but his mate just parted her legs on the carriage seat, allowing his hand to enter her leggings and find that narrow and wet pussy, ready for him.“It felt good fucking you while you bit the pillow to keep from screaming and letting your family know what we were doing, but I'm done with it.” He growled, licking her claim mark as he pulled the strap of her blouse to caress her tits “I want to go hard into that hot pussy and hear you moan like you always have.”“Hunter...” she moaned again, as he began to plunge his fingers started deep in and out of her, using h
“Are you sure you’re not cold?” Hunter murmured against her ear, only causing Corinne to curl up even closer to him, pressing her cheek against his warm chest. "No." she sighed as she ran her hands over his abdomen “What about you? I never realized that Valiant could be so much colder this time of year than Calibur.” "No. I have something pretty hot to help me.” He teased, making her giggle as he trailed kisses down her face. “So... What did you think?” Corinne asked, dangling her legs in the air from the edge of the hill where they were sitting, with a rather expansive view of the entire tiger territory below “Is this place much different than you imagined?” “Well…” Hunter looked down at the orange-leafed trees below, and the many tigers moving through the center of the pack, resuming their lives in full force now that they were safe “It’s certainly not the den of cruelty and arrogance that horror stories told me about when I was a kid.” He s
