“What did you say?” Hunter tried to maintain his cool, even though those words left his wolf in a state of alert like just a few times in his life.
“You fucking bastard!” Felix snapped “Do you think you can dirty my family’s name like that?! My brothers would never hurt each other...!”
“Are you talking about your dear brother Owen? The same one who once left my father injured and alone in a hunting competition when you were children, but managed to get away with it because he said he went to get help and got lost?” William growled, causing a deep silence to fall on the entire room “It was always very clear that he always wanted to get rid of his older brother and become Alpha, but you were never able to look beyond the beloved Owen to see that!”

With hands shaking and his chest feeling like it was being torn apart, Hunter unfolded the pages that Isabelle's faint had put together again, noting how it was actually his mother's paper, with the same flower symbols on the edges and the pastel color, even though time had corroded the edges, yellowed everything and even whitened the words that were written there in black ink in a handwriting that, he couldn't deny, was Ellen's, without a doubt.With his breath caught in his throat, he hesitated for a moment, his mind spinning as if that seven-year-old boy, the same one who had moved into that house hand in hand with his mother, scared to know that now he would have to learn to be a leader, wanted Hunter to stop. That child begged him to just consider that everything William had said was a lie and that his mother, the woman whose teachings motivated him to be the Alpha he was until now, was not a heartles
“What?” William growled in Hunter's direction, at the same time that Felix approached to steal the letter from his hands, starting to read that nonsense "Are you really going to look like shit and pretend you didn't know any of this, even after she makes it very clear she would tell you everything, so you could kill me if I showed up?”“William…” Hunter tried to find words to express what he was feeling, but he couldn’t “I… I didn’t know any of this…”“Do you think I’m still capable of believing any lie that comes from you?!” his cousin once again made the chains around him suffer, making it clear that he would kill Hunter at that very moment, if he were free to do so “You are the puppet they used to continue to dominate this place and I know that very well!&rdquo
“I could have killed you much more easily when that woman showed up, offering power in exchange for us using our strength to help her overpower Valiant. But, my father raised me to know what magic users were capable of. She tried to prove me wrong, promising to bring the wives of all the allied Alphas as hostages to lure you to me, but after she failed, I moved my pack far away from that viper!” he said "I always knew I could defeat you alone, without needing the help of the magic that killed hundreds of shifters in the past..."“What did this sorceress look like?” Hunter asked, unable to pay attention to anything else.“And how will I know? She was always wearing a hood and a mask.”“So…” Aiden exchanged a look with Hunter in disbelief “Were you just atta
Even though it was in the middle of a work day, the whole pack froze at the same moment that Hunter's words reverberated in the air, leaving a deep silence all around, as they turned to watch Hunter continue to stare at Jennifer harshly, unable to even feel the minimal remorse for revealing it like that.Ellen Calibur didn't deserve him to keep all the promises he had made to her, after all.“Did that woman finally manage to drive you crazy?” Jennifer gasped “You’re talking like a lunatic.”“No, Jennifer. I don't think I've ever been so lucid in my entire life and now I realize how I fucked up everything.” He growled, furious with himself. “I had the chance to undo all the shit my parents did, but instead I chose to tell new lies to hide theirs, like an idiot. But not
More than anything, Hunter wanted to find Corinne and wrap her in his arms, to drown in her scent, tell her how much he loved her, and feel that the only woman he loved was safe and by his side.However, as his skin quivered like a hedgehog and his wolf threatened to break free from all the tension, Hunter realized that it wasn't fair to his mate for him to look for her in that state. She was already going through her own personal tragedy and he didn't want to make things worse by bringing an out-of-control wolf into her lap. So, as much as he wanted to see her at that exact moment, Hunter forced himself to walk to his room, practically dragging himself down the hallway, to try to calm his nerves before giving in to the urge to spill all of this on Corinne...As if his thoughts were so powerful they had materialized, he froze when he opened the door to his room
Corinne had never thought of herself as the type of woman who would be provocative and take the initiative during sex. Hell, until days ago, she was convinced she would never have sex, much less have a moment like that with Hunter, which had nothing to do with claiming, just love and pleasure. At any other time, she would have expected to be shy and just let things happen, but apparently, there was something in Hunter's cock that released a lustful part of her that Corinne didn't even know existed.“Oh, Gods...” she moaned, holding his hands so she could bring them to her breasts and feel more of his caresses, while her hips rode his erection, with only two thin layers of underwear to stop his long cock from sliding into her “Now I understand why all married women are so obsessed with sex...”“Do you like this, my tigress?” H
“You should be out there, you know.” Corinne murmured, her eyes fixed on the window, but her head resting on Hunter's chest and her arms around his waist, as if he were her life raft "I know yesterday's meeting with the pack to reveal everything about William It was more tense and difficult than you told me. I'm sure the wolves need their Alpha there, to support them.”“I've had enough of all this shit, after spending hours telling the pack everything Owen and Ellen ever wanted to hide. Probably now what they want most from me is distance, to be able to absorb all of this.” Hunter tried to hide the pain in his voice, but he couldn't, not when she was the one listening “Besides, no matter what happens, I will always be with my mate first, especially when she needs me. Don’t you want me around?” He left a trail of kisses on her face, making her let out a sad little laugh. “Or are you still afraid that rumors about us being mates will spread?” he joked, although his tone was anythi
“And I also made your favorite meal…” Cindy sniffed, leaving the tray with Corinne’s dinner on the bedside table, with her teary eyes and a choked voice “I hope you like it…”“Stop talking like she’s going to be sentenced to the electric chair, Cindy!” Hunter growled, standing next to the dresser where Corinne was sitting. “We will present all the proof of her innocence tomorrow and everything will be resolved!”“Thanks for that, Cindy. A good beef and roast potatoes will certainly improve my mood.” Corinne smiled, convincing herself that it wasn't that bad a little white lie to calm a female wolf in fear for her Luna's fate. “And help me sleep better, too.”“I’m grateful.” Cindy nodded “Oh, I still can't believe those horrible tigers are having the nerve to do something like that to you. Anyone who saw you interacting with your brother could tell that you loved him so much. Accusing you of doing something like that…”“Tomorrow things will be clear.” Hunter assured,
"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
