“Hunter!” Corinne and Jennifer gasped at the same time, but it was his wife who reached him first, hurrying to remove some of the banana peels, food scraps and crumpled packaging that were on his head and shoulders “Are you okay? Oh, shit, you’re bleeding!” she lamented with an expression of pure concern, but Hunter didn't even need to run his hand across his forehead to know that it was just a superficial cut that would be healed in a matter of seconds.
“I’m fine. But there is someone who will not be fine after this.” he growled, raising his head again towards where Jennifer was, having gone down some steps and now stood on wobbly legs looking at him, terrified.
“I… I didn’t want to do that, Hunter!” she whimpered, shakily “I… Uh… Felix told me to throw out the trash b
“Uh… Are you sure it wouldn’t be better if Aiden helped you with this?” Corinne asked nervously, swallowing hard as she watched Hunter undo the buttons on the filthy shirt he was wearing, revealing his chest covered in muscles, scars, and tattoos, before throwing the clothes into the hamper that was next to her.“He's making sure Jennifer doesn't go near the party and try anything else.” he explained, shaking his head with a mix of disappointment and irritation “Besides, the wolves responsible for cleaning will already be unhappy about losing part of the party to clean up that mess near the stairs. I don’t want to make them more dissatisfied by having to clean my room, too.” Corinne's face burned as he began to unbuckle his belt and she was deeply grateful when he finally entered the bathroom of his room, as she would hardly be able to take her eyes of
“And these are frankincense and rosemary incense. My favorites." Vera Carter, the Elephant Alpha's mate, happily placed into Corinne's hands what was probably her tenth gift in less than five minutes “They make the house smell delicious and are very useful in helping us relax after a tiring day taking care of the pack.”“I greatly appreciate your consideration, Alpha Carter. And, please, don’t forget to take some bars of the chocolate with hazelnuts that your daughter seems to like so much.” Corinne smiled at the little girl leaning over the nearby dessert table, as well as several other children of all kinds “My husband said that the hazelnut seeds he bought last year from squirrels have adapted very well to our soil, so if you also want to take some, it will be a pleasure to be able to return your gifts.”&ldquo
“The number of disappearances has been decreasing a bit, but…” Dewey and Penelope exchanged an anguished look “What your squad helped us find only deepened our fears.”“What do you mean?” Corrine asked, with her enthusiasm running cold in the same instant.“Although your wolves’ guerrilla techniques are quite antiquated and almost barbaric… They can also be useful, on rare occasions.” Dewet cleared his throat, looking as rusty as an old nail when it came to praise “It was thanks to their advice that we were able to revise our search strategy for the invaders and… Even though we didn’t find those damn things…” his expression went from furious to regretfully “We found the corpse of one of the swans that had been missing for a few months. It had a huge impact
Months ago, before he was a married man and had a ring in his fourth digit that never let him forget his tigress, Hunter used to worry about the unexpected, about the pitfalls the future might hold. With everything he was unable to predict and could end all his plans. But now, for the first time in his life, what was taking his sleep and disturbing his mind was something he knew, with certainty, would happen, sooner or later.Corinne's Departure.Hell, he'd brought her to his pack waiting for the day it would happen, but… Two days ago, when she'd put it into words and allowed him to hear her say she was waiting for the time to let him come soon… Hunter had felt stabbed. Not for her, not for the fate and not for the situation, because, fuck, again, he should have known that day would come. He no longer thought of Corinne as a dangerous troublemaker
Corinne didn't have fond memories of the last time she'd been surrounded by a pack of unknown shifters in that forest, but the moment she'd realized there were invaders trying to get to the pack once again, the last thing she imagined was that Hunter wouldn't let her fight.She had just sunk her claws into the throat of one of the wolves and prepared to turn and attack the other who was about to bite her shoulder, when Hunter jumped in his bestial form upon her opponent, not only knocking him off her, but also attacking him with a savagery that, although it was an invasion, was somewhat disproportionate. So much so that, even after she managed to knock out one of the men, Hunter was still jumping from enemy to enemy, tearing them apart with pure fury.“You have to leave at least some of them alive.” she snorted, using a piece of her torn clothing to
“Get your hands off me, you disgusting bastard! I’ll rip your eyes out if you don’t let me pass!” Jennifer's shrill scream cut the air and the eardrums of everyone nearby, but even so, Hunter didn't turn in the direction of where Aiden was restraining her and preventing her from getting closer.“If you do, then I'll have just one more reason to consider you a threat to this pack and expel you from more places than my house, Jennifer.” he grunted, as he ran his eyes over that day's harvest reports, while several wolves continued to put everything in the barn and the grain tower, but not before stopping to mutter something among themselves in light of that scandal “Now, I suggest you get out of here before Felix arrives to give you punishment for disturbing the peace.”“Stop being so cold to me, Hunter!”
“Greg!” Corinne repeated that nickname several times, full of emotion in her almost choked voice, as she and the newcomer shared the tightest hug Hunter had ever seen in all his life.Well, his hands would certainly have a tighter grip when he placed them around the neck of that son of a bitch who had dared to lay his hands on Corinne.“I miss you so much, Cory!” the bastard said, full of enthusiasm, entwining himself with Corinne to the point of lifting her feet off the ground as he pulled her closer.Hunter, in turn, just wondered if his arms were really as easy to rip off as they looked, so he could use them to beat that damn tiger until he never thought about approaching Calibur's Luna again.“It's so good to see you…” Corin
“And this is the courtyard.” Corinne introduced, with Gregory walking by her side, seeming more interested in her than in her tour itself “I wish you could have arrived a few days earlier. They throw really good parties here…”“Yeah, it's a shame someone didn't even bother to invite his wife's family to a celebration in her honor…” her friend muttered acidly, and, unlike Corinne, who had struggled all morning to ignore it, Gregory raised his head and shamelessly returned the piercing gaze of Hunter, who was in his office, several feet above them, but still staring at them through the window as if he could see their every movement and hear their every word.Corinne knew she shouldn't be taking his behavior personally, as Hunter had already made it clear several times that he still didn't trust other tigers beside
"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
