“And here are some snacks that Cindy made for you to eat along the way.” Corinne smiled, placing the paper bag inside Gregory's backpack, which had almost arrived at Calibur and now seemed about to burst from being so full “Well... I guess that's all. You are ready to go." she sighed sadly, smiling at friend, who was once again completely covered by his cape and hood “Please, be careful on your path. We don’t know who we are dealing with.”
"Don't worry." Gregory smiled, approaching her “I will send your father the question you asked, I promise. But try not to let those kinds of thoughts get to you, Cory.” he pleaded “She fell off the cliff when she was being chased by Eli and other warriors. They found a burned body around that time after she tried to set the forest on fire. It's impossible for this to be her doing. She is dead. She can’t hurt you
“I think that's all I have to say about our security setup when the caravan bringing Alpha Valiant and his family arrives. Should I change something?” Aiden's question sounded like a buzz to Hunter, as if he were on the other side of the world at that moment."No. That’s more than enough perk for those tigers.” Felix grumbled angrily “We shouldn't roll out a red carpet for them just because they're related to Corinne, like that old goat seems to want. If she had accepted having formed a family with me years ago, as she should have, then she wouldn't need to treat her Alpha as if she were her son or something, wanting to spoil him like that.”“Stop whining about it, Felix. We have to be as accepting of wolves as we would be of any other of our allies. Plus, this visit is really important to Corinne. That's why Hunter agr
“Corinne?! What the hell have you been doing there for so long?! Come over here so I can see how that dress looks on you!” Penelope ordered, from the other side of the bathroom door, while the doorknob turned non-stop, as if the swan was about to break in at any moment “Don't you dare take it out first!”“Penelope… That doesn’t look good on me…” Corinne swallowed, eager to convince her “Believe me, we’d better try something else…”“Corinne, if it were your choice, you would have welcomed your family with a faded blouse and dirty jeans from that disgusting stable.” Penelope’s tone made it very clear that she was rolling her eyes “If you really want this occasion to be special, then you have to dress the part. Besides, weren't you the one who said you want to
That last week had been crazy, and, God, Corrine felt like she was on the verge of madness too, holding on only to the anticipation of seeing her family again. Even at that moment, lying in her bed in the middle of the night as she prepared for bed, she could still feel her heart, and other much more embarrassing parts, flutter inside her at the mere memory of that warm moment with Hunter, which seemed to have happened just a few moments ago. seconds ago and not three days.Months ago, when she had gotten here, Corinne had promised herself that she would never give in to a moment of pure desire like that, but now it seemed like a joke. Hunter's kisses and touch would probably haunt her forever now, even when that marriage ended and she had to return to her home, with nothing but memories and a shattered foolish heart.Home…
“Can someone tell that girl to stop acting like a child on Christmas morning? It's starting to annoy me…” Felix complained under his breath, but Hunter was still able to hear him, even though his uncle was several meters away, with the rest of the council, all standing behind him watching the forest trail.“Shut the fuck up.” Hunter threatened, not wanting for even a second Corinne to hear that and think that her enthusiasm was something that needed to be suppressed. The people who were about to arrive might not be worthy of that feeling, but he didn't want her to stop shining like that for even a second, excitedly chatting with Cindy and Penelope while waiting for the first sign of the cars that would bring the Valiants there to appear among the trees.Hunter would love to be able to believe her words about how sweet and unblemis
“And, with that, we've reached the last place I wanted to show you. The barn.” Corinne announced, leading her little sister by the hand “I've spent these last few months thinking about how you'd love to meet Opal, and her puppies, Crystal and Onyx. They're so sweet... But, Opal can be a little temperamental, so try not to get too close until I'm completely sure it's safe, okay?”“Even the horses in this place are brutes like wolves? Good to know." Nicole snorted, clinging to her arm like a vine on a tree “No horse can be better than the ones we have at home! I took really good care of Sugar and Pepper while you were away, you know? But they still miss you very much. They never had the same energy as before.” she pouted and, like every other time her sister had tried to point out how everything about Valiant was better, Corinne just smiled, paying attention to nothi
“I don't like this, my Alpha. If you want to talk to the Alpha of the Wolves, then the least that should happen is for me or any other warrior to be at your side.” Octavia growled, probably for the millionth time since her Alpha had asked to come to the office, but Hunter paid her no attention, continuing to sit behind his desk while Eli, his wife and his son tried to convince her to leave.“There is no subject we will cover that you don’t already know about, Octavia. But for now... I think it would be better if you let me, Juliet and Declan handle it alone. You've already spent the last few months making sure Corinne remained safe, as I asked. Now it’s time for me to act a little like a father.” he sighed sadly “Go and talk a little with your battalion mates who accompanied us here. I know you must miss each other. Or follow Corinne and Nicole on their tour of thi
"How do you dare?!" Eli stood up suddenly, full of hatred “What would be the use of trying to convince you of my daughter’s true personality? So you could say I was lying and trying to use her to trick you? Or so you could realize how deeply I care for my daughter and could use that against me?”“If you care so much about Corinne, why didn't you do more for her? Why didn’t you fight the rumors about her and cut out the tongues of everyone who dared to open their mouths to sully her name?” Hunter accused, furious “You’re the Alpha! You could have told your council to shut up! I could have held Corinne close to you and her siblings, instead of giving in to the pressure of the tigers and practically abandoning her! So don’t you dare come to my pack and act like I’m causing Corinne grief, when you and the entire Valiant territory were never worthy of
“Have you ever stopped to think about this for a moment?” Declan Valiant questioned, with those golden eyes, whose shape was disturbingly similar to Corinne's, seeming to burn into Hunter's soul "If we went to my sister right now and asked her if she would like to return to her kind, do you really think that would she choose to remain here?”Hunter’s wolf shook wildly, wanting more than anything for him to deny that question. That he would reveal that Corinne was his mate and, therefore, he would know how to make her happy and keep her safe in Calibur, even if she was still very attached to her old pack... But, the truth is that Hunter knew that would be of no use. He had pushed Corinne away, rejecting her as his mate when they first met, causing her to become determined to reject him too, even to the point of managing to walk away from him and call what they had shared on the matin
"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
