All Chapters of The Wolf Hunters: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Cataleya’s POV continued- After class had been going for a while, I took a peek over at Kade. To my surprise he was actually paying close attention to the professor and seemed to be interested in the material. Seeing him the other night I figured he would be more of the spaced out jock in class who only showed up to make sure he would meet the requirements to play sports. I’m glad that wasn’t the case. I’m not sure how I feel about the whole Moon Goddess thing, but I do feel a little more comfortable that if that is how all of this works, she didn’t pair me with some brain dead jerk. The professor takes a few minutes to get something else ready and I see Kade go straight to his phone. Since the professor came in and started class so quickly earlier he didn’t have much of a chance to text me. He had put his phone away right when class started so that he could give his full attention to the professor. I figured by now he probably forgot what I asked him or that I even put my number in

Kade’s POV continued- It’s a good thing that I did get that rest because a short pack meeting, then a football team meeting all before classes was a hell of a way to start my second day. After the pack meeting Alpha Zeke let us know that he heard back from the nearby packs about their missing or recently left omegas, and the number was a lot higher than any of us thought, especially since we weren’t missing any. There is definitely more to this story than we are getting. The politics droned on a bit and it’s decided that we don’t have enough information on that yet to bring it to the hunters. The football meeting is mostly to meet the guys and go over practice expectations and guidelines so we can get a running start later today. We all have to make sure our lockers are prepped and ready before practice so we don’t miss any time that we could be on the field or in the film rooms. Coach isn’t playing this year. I think he realizes he’s going to lose a bunch of talent over the next tw

Cataleya’s POV- I knew I would be able to get something out of the rogue. I honestly should have gone in there a lot sooner, but everything with Kade was throwing me off of my game. After our little talk on Monday I felt calmer somehow. I don’t know how to explain it, but I definitely wasn’t stressing as much about that whole situation. Now I’m stressing about this new situation. As soon as the rogue said ‘essence’ I knew that witches were involved somehow. Now I just have to explain this to these knuckleheads around me.“What do you mean witches?” Dean asked.“I mean witches. You know, magic wielding crazy ladies with a vendetta against almost everyone else for some reason.”“No shit, but how did you reach the conclusion that they were involved?”“Do you seriously never do any research on your own? The ‘essence’, also called Spiritus Vitae, is the breath or spirit of life. Kind of like what most people would call a person's soul. Without the soul the body would slowly deteriorate an

Kade’s POV continued- All through class I kept trying to steal little glances at her to see if she would catch me looking. Or maybe I could catch her looking. I wanted to see that little hint of a blush that she tried to hide but would still come through just enough for me to see if I caught her looking. Once class was over we gathered our things and headed toward the door. She tried to get in front of me but I managed to get there just in time to open the door for her. I was going to be a gentleman even if she tried to stop me. I know she’s an independent woman and can do things for herself, but that doesn’t mean that she always has to. “Which way, Wolfman? Plenty of coffee places to choose from.” “Union. Close to the tables.”“Ok then.”We walk in silence for a moment and I just take in everything about being with her. My hand is practically itching to reach out and grab hers but I know it’s too soon for that. So far I’ve only gotten her to agree to the getting to know each othe

Alec’s POV- 3 weeks laterI’m happy to say that at least our football team is doing well so far. We’re in the middle of our last practice before our first game tomorrow and everyone is going hard. All my guys are starters so we will be on the field together as a unit tomorrow. I think we’re going to have a great season. After that first practice, Kade has been hyper focused and hasn’t slipped up a single time since. He’s hitting a lot harder but not enough to make people think anything was off. With our first game, I need to make sure that he’s going to be able to keep that control when all the adrenaline hits. “Hey Kade, you ready for tomorrow?”“Yes sir! Can’t wait.”“That adrenaline burst is gonna be crazy when it first hits. Just make sure you take a minute, deep breaths, and keep control.”“I’ve got it. I won’t let you down.”“I know you won’t. One more thing to think about though. Most likely your mate will be in the stands. She will most likely be sitting far enough away tha
