“Uh… Octavia… Is this really necessary?” Cindy swallowed hard, but Corinne couldn't see her face because the desk she was holding blocked her view almost completely.
“Of course that is.” Octavia snorted, watching intently as Corinne lifted the desk into the air once again, flexing her legs in the process “She's going to get out of shape if she continues this routine of just walking horses and being locked in this room. Besides, that desk is nothing. If we were at home, I would make her lift weights using fallen pieces of oak, like she has been used to since she was a child, but this will have to do.”
“It’s time to stop, I’m already 50.” Corinne snorted, earning only a growl from Octavia.
“I only counted 45. Keep going.”
“Be careful with your words, Diego…” she growled, needing to sink her claws into the armrests of the chair to avoid doing the same on his neck.“What? It was a compliment. Smart tigresses make our pack more powerful, that's what Grandpa always said, although I doubt you remember that. Besides, one of my sisters has to be able to do something useful, since Nicole is always busy with those useless paintings…”"How is she? And Declan?” Corinne interrupted him, eager for any news on how her young siblings were doing “Did they… Send me a message?”“Why would they send it?” Diego laughed, as if that mere question was ridiculous “Declan has more important things to worry about now that there are also wolves on our borders and you know how Nico
If, a few weeks ago, someone had told Hunter that the tiger he would hate most in the world wouldn't be Corinne Valiant, he would have thought it was a joke. Yet here he was, feeling utterly disgusted that that damn son of Alpha Valiant was acting like the Blue Moon Festival was all about him, especially after he'd somehow discovered that Hunter hadn't even done a welcome reception for Corinne, in her arrival. Before, he had a certain suspicion that perhaps Corinne's problem was her family and not herself, but, knowing that that arrogant tiger was walking around the festival, full of himself and treating everyone he considered inferior to him like shit, Hunter now was completely sure of that. He had always considered the tigers too much presumptuous for their own good, but he had never stopped to think that their snobbish nature could also harm their own kind. How the hell had Corinne gotten such a terrib
Before Hunter could take matters into his own hands, someone else did, making him hesitate once again, when Corinne's voice sounded imposing. “The alliance that was formed between the two packs is not a sign of cowardice, but rather that my father, Alpha Valiant, and my husband, Alpha Calibur, know how to measure dangers wisely and give up their pride to protect their own packs. Furthermore, you, as an Alpha, should be more than pleased with the end of this centuries-old feud, because it means preventing a war between wolves and tigers that could further harm your territory.” she spoke to the fox, firmly and unquestioningly “I understand that your territory may be suffering collateral damage from a situation involving my husband's territory, but, if you truly value your alliance with him, then you should be looking for the most as courteous as possible to treat this matter, rather than the way he treated
“Corinne!” Isabelle was the first to gasp, alarmed “Are you okay?”“Oh, God, someone has to get Jennifer out of there. She’s probably going to kill her now.” someone murmured nearby, scared.“Are we finally going to get the chance to see her explode?”“I hope so, I can't stand to live in the expectation that one day she'll wake up wanting to kill us all and I don't think Alpha will either…”“Oh, look! She's reaching out! Will she slap Jennifer…?”Hunter was aware of the expectant murmurs around them, as if this were a spectacle to be enjoyed. However, with his eyes fixed on Corinne and what reaction she would have next, so that he coul
"Take it." he stopped her, tearing off another part of his sleeve, until his arm was almost completely exposed “At least, mine is already torn.” Hunter sat next to her on the couch, tangling his fingers in her hair before she could stop him, so he could tilt her head forward, pretending he wasn't enjoying the warmth of her body on her side. pinch the bridge of your nose, so as not to risk using too much force and hurting you even more.”"You will leave…?" she puffed out her cheeks “I don’t know if you noticed but the bleeding is from my nose, not my neck. I can do this alone.”“But it won’t. Now, get started.” he rushed her, no longer able to bear watching her blood flow like that.“Isn’t your girlfriend going to be irritated that
Corinne's words would continue to haunt him for much more than just that night, so Hunter didn't even think about trying to sleep. Instead, while outside the windows of his house he watched Isabelle and Aiden coordinate the farewell for the guests and let the wolves continue to enjoy the first night of the Blue Moon Festival, Hunter walked to a specific room, to resolve something that couldn't wait another second. “Jennifer.” he knocked one last time, before entering, not even trying to be patient.= “I'm coming in.” “Hunter?” he found Jennifer sobbing, her head buried among the many pillows and stuffed animals in her bed “Hunter!” She jumped in his direction as soon as she saw him, her face red with tears and an expression on her face that was somewhere between joy and anger “I knew you would come! You realized I was right, didn't you? I didn’t do anything wr
After everything that had happened the night before, all Corinne wanted most was to stay in bed all day, without anyone shouting around her, accusing her without she even lifting a single finger and, if possible, without the image of the face of the man, that fate had chosen to be her mate, to haunt her. However, of course that didn't happen. Because, as soon as she had finished wrapping the sheets around herself, to try to ignore the rays of sunlight that were coming through the cracks in the curtain, a knock sounded on her door and, somehow, her tigress already knew who it was.“Corinne…” Octavia called from the other side of the door, clearly angry “Your useless husband is here. Apparently, he had the idea to invite you to breakfast for the first time after exactly a month…”“Thanks for sharing your thoughts&hellip
Still with her chin almost glued to her chest, Jennifer stood up, clearly reluctantly, but also silently, dragging her own body until she stopped in front of Corinne's chair, close enough for her to see how the girl's jaw was clenched with strength, to the point of outlining all the veins she had in her neck."I'm sorry. For giving you those flowers.” she said, through gritted teeth and in a way that definitely didn't sound sincere “I didn't mean to hurt you. I hope you can forgive me.”“And what?” Hunter growled, making her even more tense and angry.“And… I promise to never do anything like that again.” she growled softly, and, even without being able to see her eyes, Corinne could have sworn that the wolf that lived inside her was wanting to come out and destroy ev
"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
