Semua Bab Hunting for our Mate: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Zev’s povThere’s always a bit of time between work and dinner, and for the last few days I’ve spent it either writing in my journal or writing letters to Lana.In the past, when I wrote my mom, it felt therapeutic. When I started writing with Lana, I stopped, but my therapist encouraged me to restart.For years I have created this story in my head of what happened with my dad and my mom, and since my talk with Ethan and Grace, I’m not sure what memories are real and what I made up.So, my therapist told me to just write down my thoughts. Whenever a memory or a feeling pops up, not to push it down or to analyze it. But to feel it. To go through it to see what’s on the other side.She shared something that made me laugh. Something this guy once said. Basically, the guy said when someone pees in your glass of water, adding sugar does nothing to get rid of the pee. It’s still there, even if it just tastes sweeter.My therapist said life and trauma are like that. When bad things happen, yo

Atalanta’s pov"So... why are you smiling?” Suzie asked while she was sipping on her cocktail through a straw.“Your story reminded me of the first kiss I had with Raiden,” I admitted. I was feeling a bit tipsy after drinking a few too many fruity cocktails.Suzie and Luna Grace had offered to take me out to distract me, and they had. Luna Grace had shared how she and Alpha Ethan had met and fallen in love. And Suzie had talked about how Stephen suddenly didn’t flirt with her anymore or tried asking her out.But after a few drinks, she had admitted they had something called "hate-sex," which needed to be explained to me what it was.I had never had sex out of anger. Or I don’t think so.‘You rarely get angry.’ Artemis chimed in.“Tell us,” Luna Grace asked. “But skip the details.” She giggled.“Raiden said how much he and Zev liked me and how they wanted to help me, and he admitted that he liked me a bit too much but felt guilty about Zev.” I recalled. It felt like another life.I smil

hi! I'm taking today off from writing because I had surgery yesterday. it all went well, although I did have a rough time staying awake. me and morfine are not friends. I always get dizzy and nauseous. Anyway, since it's the Netherlands, I will now self medicate with Tylenol, and that's it. lol. and I got my period! so yeah, that's great. I'm fine, though. Just need to relax today. I got picked up by my husband and boys, and they were so sweet, carrying my bag and being very gentle and worried about me. will update soon. lots of love, Naomi

Atalanta;s pov“I can’t wait for my birthday, because this is ridiculous. Now everyone can mindlink, but me and I just need to drive around with Zev like nothing is happening.” Suzie sighed before leaving my room.We had agreed it was better that Zev did what Steve had asked him, not to draw suspicion.It would also keep them out of harm's way, but neither me nor Raiden told them that.It was like something unspoken between the two of us. Raiden and I both knew our plan, if that’s even what you can call it, could fail.We were hoping the pack would have our back and not that of their beta. But they don’t even know me.‘They know Raiden, and this will be a chance for them to get to know you,’ Artemis reminded me.As someone who grew up hardly ever leaving the house, I didn’t get to know many of my fellow hunters until I came back from Ardale. When I did, they all hated me, so there wasn’t really a chance to get close to anyone.Here, things were different. Raiden knew his pack, as did t

Raiden’s povWhen dad was injured, we all helped out. I took on a lot of Alpha responsibilities, so I kind of knew already what the job entailed.Or so I thought.This week, I took on the role of the Alpha after burying Steve in a private funeral and determining the punishment for everyone who joined him.Dad agreed to temporarily replace Steve with Suzie's help and be my beta so I could get used to being the alpha when I take over. We’re just waiting for Suzie’s birthday.It turns out being an alpha is fucking boring most of the time.It’s so much paperwork; it’s listening to people’s complaints. It’s… It’s bullshit, that’s what it is.Why does the strongest man in the pack just sit around on his ass all day behind a computer and do things others are capable of as well?>I get having final say in things, but damn, this is like running a business.Zev should do this!Atlas chuckled at my displeasure, ‘maybe he should.’Speak of the devil, and he appears, because a moment after this th
