Raidenโ€™s pov

The anger I felt toward Zev did not go away, even after speaking to Atalanta. Although I was relieved she had a good night's sleep, I still felt anxious and pissed off that I wasn't there for her right now.

It probably didn't help that everyone here, including the alphas, was out to get me.

โ€˜Theyโ€™re not,โ€™ Atlas tried to reassure me.

Sure, a few seemed to be fine with the idea of Atalanta as my mate, but they were still too curious for my liking. Even if they werenโ€™t arguing for her imprisonment or to be questioned like the rest were, they still wanted to know more about her.

My dad had been right to hide her identity, because most of the morning Alphas had been asking me questions about my mate. How fast could she heal, could she use the mindlink, how could she handle poison, could she fight better or run faster than humans? What would it take for her to be able to shift?

And those were the โ€œniceโ€™โ€ questions! Then there were the weird questions about our mate-bond and the

Do you ever get that feeling in your gut that something is wrong but you have no clue why? I keep getting it and it's driving me nuts. Anyway, it had nothing to do with the story lol, I'm just venting. But Raiden is coming home. Will there be a Zev vs Raiden show down? And does Zev deserve to get his ass beat a little or a lot? lol

    Zevโ€™s pov โ€œGo see Grace, because I am losing my patience with you, Zev!โ€ Alpha Ethan barked at me. I had shown him considerable disrespect, but I could only tolerate so much. Why, in Goddess name, did they think this was a good idea? Just a few minutes ago, I had asked my former mate to accept my rejection. And now they wanted me to spend the entire day protecting her. It felt like an insult, especially since both of them knew how much I was already dealing with. โ€˜She canโ€™t accept the rejection; her wolf is already weak,โ€™ Rishi whined. She said she could, so why did it hurt to think about it? Wouldn't Atalanta accepting my rejection solve everything? It would severe the remainder of the bond between us, finally giving me a chance to move on. It wasnโ€™t like Atalanta felt the bond anyway. She has a wolf now; shouldn't she at least feel something? I stomped over to Lunaโ€™s office, which was next door to her mates. โ€œZevโ€ฆ So, Ethan says you have issues with our request?โ€ โ€œHe didnโ€™t

    Atalantaโ€™s povโ€œYouโ€™re hereโ€ฆโ€He was stroking my hair, holding me in his arms. Gone was my nightmare; now all I felt was shock and confusion.โ€œYou had another nightmare,โ€ Zev admitted, looking awkward as he moved back from me.Another? So he was here yesterday? Artemis had been right.I looked down at him, โ€œand youโ€™re naked...โ€He quickly grabbed one of Raidenโ€™s pillows and placed it over himself, which I would need to change before Raiden came back tomorrow. I donโ€™t think Raiden would like to sleep with Zevโ€™s dick smell near his head.โ€œItโ€™s Rishi; he shifted and came here when he heard you cry. He feels weirdly attached to you still.โ€His wolf. Of course. It was his wolf who had forced him to be here. Thatโ€™s why heโ€™s naked. He shifted back.Zev had been pretty nice to me today. But maybe he just felt bad for me.I wanted to tell Raiden over the phone, but I didnโ€™t think telling him about everything that happened today was a conversation you should have over the phone.Especially not s

    Raidenโ€™s povโ€œHalf of my heart is hurting, and the other half is in love. What if it will always be like that? I deserve to be in pain, but Raidenโ€™s doesnโ€™t.โ€โ€œDid you ever love me? Really?โ€โ€œI did. I do.โ€Those words keep repeating in my mind. She said she deserves to be in pain, which she doesnโ€™t. Sheโ€™s dealt with enough pain. A mate should not cause pain. Yet she loves him. After everything he did, she still loves him.But what stung the most is that she confided in him and not me.โ€˜Not to mention the fact they were both naked.โ€™ Atlas growled.It had never bothered me beforeโ€”quite the opposite. I had found it hot seeing Zev with our mouse. But things are different now. He didnโ€™t want her; he rejected her.But I want her. I love Atalanta. I have never wanted someone before as badly as I crave her.It's become an obsession. Sheโ€™s all I think about, all I care for.And it fucking sucks to know she will never feel the same.I donโ€™t doubt her love for me, but I am not enough.โ€˜Stop that.

    Zevโ€™s povโ€œTalk me through what happened.โ€โ€œI donโ€™t want to.โ€ I replied. Rishi had been busy healing me, but it would take another day or two for me to be back to normal.โ€œSo... um, you two fought? Was it about Lana? Of course it wasโ€ฆโ€ Suzie asked again.I scoffed, looking at Stephen, who just got home a few hours ago. โ€œWhy did you have to tell her?โ€โ€œI am glad at least someone is telling me anything! It was always the four of us, and now I feel left out,โ€ Suzie pouted on the other side of the screen. โ€œStupid Alpha wonโ€™t let me leave just yet. I am dying to visit you and see all the drama up close.โ€Stephen was holding his phone up so she could see me, since I couldnโ€™t, because my arm was still healing from being broken in several places.Being thrown out of a glass window kind of does that...Stephen laughed awkwardly. I knew he only told Suzie because he knew sheโ€™d answer if it was about any of us. She had been ignoring his advances, telling him to just go find his mate.I also knew

  • Hunting for our Mateย ย ย 88. Suzie

    Suzieโ€™s povNobody probably wants to hear from me. I mean, who would want to hear my thoughts or hear about the stuff Iโ€™m going through?Iโ€™m meant to be the fun friend, the one that provides some needed advice and sees things others donโ€™t.Like how I knew they were mates before they did.But right now, I donโ€™t want to be just the person they can count on. Or the person who gives them the kick they need.As much as it pains me to admit it, I think I need a kick in the ass right now.From a very young age, I wanted to follow in my dadโ€™s footsteps. Not just because Iโ€™m a daddyโ€™s girl, which I am. But also because it seemed like the perfect job to me.Although you donโ€™t get all the glory that comes with being the Alpha, you also donโ€™t get all the pressure. But you do have an extremely important job and are able to fill it in when Alpha is away.Which means youโ€™re basically like an alpha, without all the stress and fame.But what made me want to do the job the most is that I think I would b

    Atalantaโ€™s povโ€œIโ€™m back, bitches!โ€ Suzie yelled out.Raiden rolled his eyes, and Zev just stood there, while I couldnโ€™t contain my smile.โ€œToo much? Sorry, you try sitting alone with this man on a plane for hours and see how chippy you come out of it! I think he tried to bore me to death with meaningless facts about your pack or something. After that didnโ€™t work, he just talked about you threeโ€ฆโ€ She said, winking at us. โ€œI should have come here sooner, because you clearly need me.โ€โ€œWhatever,โ€ Raiden said, his hand on my butt. He loves touching my butt whenever he can.Artemis teased me, causing me to blush, "Just one of the many things he likes to do to your behind."Because of the fight between Zev and Raiden, Alpha Ethan had given them both some time off work to calm down. Which meant Raiden and I had barely left out room.I wasnโ€™t sure it was because Raiden was avoiding Zev or because of all the sexโ€ฆโ€˜Probably the second one.โ€™We didnโ€™t just have sex. We talked a lot. We ate; we t

    Atalantaโ€™s povโ€œUm, so, Iโ€™m not sure how to explain this, but Artemis and I have been talking and...โ€Suzie smiled at me, โ€œitโ€™s fine; just give it a go.โ€โ€œGrowing up, I wasnโ€™t allowed to talk much. I am not used to hearing my own voice, and I am not sure what to say very often. I donโ€™t know if what Iโ€™ll say will be the right thing or if itโ€™s appropriate or annoying, because whatever I said at home would be seen as too much or stupid.โ€ I explained. โ€œBut now that I am here, I am trying to say more. Say what I am thinking. Artemis said itโ€™s fine to say what I think, as long as itโ€™s not hurtful or insulting.โ€Suzie nodded, and I loved how she let me speak without interrupting me.I giggled awkwardly. I wanted to ask if you are okay. And why do you smell like Stephen?โ€Suzie blushed before laughing. โ€œWell, those two questions have really different answers. Iโ€™ll tell you the easy one first. So, um, me and Ven, thatโ€™s what I call Stephen in my head, had a fight in the airplane, and it turned

    Raidenโ€™s povโ€œEvery time I see one of her scars, I think about killing the people who made those scars.โ€ I admitted it out loud for the first time.Every time we're in bed after some mind-blowing sex, usually I will cuddle my little mouse and point to a part of her body that has a scar or mark. And Iโ€™d ask what happened. She would tell me, and Iโ€™d kiss the spot and make it better. I would be calm when she would tell me, and I tried to act like I wasnโ€™t plotting everyoneโ€™s death in detail. But everything they had done to my mate, theyโ€™d get back in tenfold.An eye for an eye, like the humans often say.โ€œYou have a list?โ€ Suzie asked.โ€œSure do. It begins with the motherfucker thatโ€™s leading the bunch, general Sweets, but not far behind him are her parents. I usually donโ€™t kill women, but for mommy dearest, I am willing to make an exception.โ€Suzie chuckled nervously, โ€œyouโ€™ve become dark.โ€I shrugged, โ€œmaybe Iโ€™ve always been this way. But now I have people to point my anger at.โ€โ€œLike Zev

    they deleted my note from my last chapter, but i wanted to say thank you for all your support and patience. this is the last chapter of this story. there is more to tell, but I hope i get the chance to tell it through their kid's eyes. I had surgery last week and have been very sore. they placed a mat inside my stomach against the muscle. I've been home and taking it easy, but even the smallest movement can be painful. I'm also very annoyed because the communication with this app has been very bad. I've applied for a contract for the Nivia story back in January, but I've been told to be patient. so I'm not sure what will happen with that. and I'm not sure how long it would take when I apply for the spin-off for this story. Sorry to end this story complaining. I just need you to know that it's not that I donโ€™t want to write. I'm a full-time mom, with not the best health, and it's not always easy to write, but I really love doing it. but they're making it way harder than it n

    Atalantaโ€™s pov As I watched my family sit around me, I couldnโ€™t help but think back to how it all started. My first day seeing โ€œthe twinsโ€ and now having twins of my own. Raiden twirled my hair around his finger and pulled softly, just like he used to do back at Ardale Academy, while Zev was tracing circles on my bare leg. My mates, my loves, the fathers of my childrenโ€ฆ They still are the best of friends, but Iโ€™m happy they confide in me as much as they do in each other. We all have one relationship, and then we have our special relationships between each other. While Raiden and Zev hate the idea of being mates, to me thatโ€™s what they are. Just not in the same way they are mine. But they have always belonged to each other in some way. โ€œMama?โ€ My youngest looked up at me with her big blue eyes. I looked at her, imagining another little pup. I love being pregnant. Raiden growled lowly into my ear, โ€˜Donโ€™t even start, little mouse. We said this was the last one.โ€™ โ€˜Yeah, even I thi

    Raidenโ€™s povโ€˜Maybe we should just wait for the next one?โ€™ I asked Zev back when we watched our mate go through hell to deliver our babies.It had been a brutal pregnancy. Not just one, but two giant babies in a tiny but beautiful body. It takes a lot out of a person.Remember when I complained about having too much sex? Well, our sweet little mouse was on bed rest for almost half her pregnancy, so there wasnโ€™t much sex at allโ€ฆWhat we did have was love.Fuck, I love our mate.Zev and I treated her like our queen, making sure she didnโ€™t need to lift a finger. While she tried to shield us from her pain, we didnโ€™t let her, taking as much from her as we could.One of us was always with her. Zev and our mate read books together, while we watched movies and talked about everything and anything. Suzie came by a lot, and so did the rest, to keep her distracted from not being able to do much.You know our little mouse has a hard time not doing anything, so being in bed for several months was h

    Zevโ€™s povโ€œDo you want to do the honors?โ€ Lana asked me.โ€œShouldnโ€™t you or Raiden tell everyone?โ€ I replied as I played with my mate's hair.Raiden smiled at me, โ€œwell, you did all the hard work, so you deserve it more.โ€I laughed, โ€œhard work? Weren't you the one who started complaining one month in because you were getting tired of having sex multiple times a day?โ€โ€œWhile it was hard work, it was also very satisfyingโ€ฆ." Raiden said, staring at our mate with lust in his eyes. "But you were doing the real hard work, watching me come inside our mate for months while you couldnโ€™t.โ€ Raiden replied with a wink. โ€œBut now we can go back to our regular positions!โ€โ€œI think that might make him even happier than me being pregnant,โ€ Lana giggled.โ€œAlmost, little wolf of mine, almost.โ€ Raiden bended over to kiss Lana. He stood back up straight and looked at me, โ€œHey, man. I was thinking. We should let all the kids have the same last name.โ€โ€œAll the kids? How many do you think weโ€™ll have?โ€ I laughe

    Okay, I know, I was supposed to write the final chapters, but then I suddenly thought about the twin brothers. and I started coming up with another idea and I had to write two more chapters....So. Now you can choose lol.Either Kiana or Kai.This story would be called Hunting my rogue or something along those lines.It starts a bit sad and is about second chance mates.chapter 1:Lirazโ€™s povโ€œYou need to run, Lee.โ€โ€œNo, Momโ€ฆ Youโ€™re strong. You can do this! Just fight it.โ€ I tried. I didnโ€™t want to go. She had held it back for so long.Mom shook her head as tears ran down her face. Her hands had begun to turn into claws, and fur began to appear on her skin. โ€œNo, sweetie. Itโ€™s time. Go, please.โ€โ€œBut, -โ€œโ€œLiraz!โ€ Mom growled. โ€œYou listen to your mother for one damn time!โ€I bared my neck in submission, feeling the power of her growl. โ€œIโ€™m sorry, Mom, Iโ€™m justโ€ฆโ€โ€œDonโ€™t apologize, Lee.

    Once again, don't read this if you don't want any possible spoilers.This one is a bit shorter, I am probably going to add some more to it once I really start writing. But for now it's enough to paint a picture of Torin I think. And pleae let me know what you think.......chapter 2 : BetterTorinโ€™s povโ€˜You need to be more careful,โ€™ Troy, my wolf, said the third time the vermin fell off his back.I could have let him handle the run. He would have been more gentle with the girl. But she needed to learn her place.To her, my hatred probably came out of nowhere. But I had learned to hate her family from the moment I had been born.For appearances sake, I had to show respect to the alpha heirs. I could even tolerate the brother. Ruan seemed to know his place and opted to attend gamma training instead of alpha training. But the vermin especially got on my nerves.Ardale used to mean something. It was a school exclusively for future alphas and betas. Then they let future gammas join a

    So, I was thinking if I should write a spinoff about one of the trio's kids. But to do that, I needed to come up with their names, how many kids they have, and a bunch of other stuff.I can't write an ending and then change some of the story for the sequel.So I decided to write two chapters, just to see if it could work.This isn't set in stone, and it kind of depends on your comments if this becomes canon. If it does, I'll use what I've written in these chapters as a basis for the end.So if you would rather not read any potential spoilers, you can skip these chapters.The story would be called "Hunting My Bully" Or something along those lines.Chapter 1: Vermin.Kianaโ€™s povโ€œThere she isโ€ฆ.I told you you don't belong here.โ€ Torin growled. His eyes locked with mine and in them was pure hatred. โ€œVermin, you can run, but Iโ€™ll find youโ€ฆโ€Honestly, I thought my time at Ardale would be different. My siblings all went here and had a great time. As a matter of fact, two of my brothers still

    Raidenโ€™s povโ€œSo how long do you think it will take?โ€ I asked after fucking my mate for the fourth time today. โ€œNot that Iโ€™m complaining, but Iโ€™m not sure we can keep this up.โ€Atalanta giggled, โ€œare you tired, Raiden?โ€โ€œNo!โ€ I scoffed.โ€œHe is,โ€ Zev said.โ€œNo, you are!โ€ I shouted at my friend, who just came out of the shower.โ€œIโ€™m ready to go again and again.โ€Zev and Atalanta both laughed, โ€œitโ€™s fine to admit youโ€™re tired.โ€โ€œIโ€™m not fucking tired!โ€ I argued. โ€œI just need, like, a tiny break. Just like a day or so? No, not even a day. Like an afternoon? Or an hour?โ€Atalanta kissed me, โ€œI actually read itโ€™s better not to do it too much because of something to do with sperm count? Once a day should be enough, but I was enjoying all the attention.โ€โ€œGreedy little mate, arenโ€™t you?โ€ I replied, kissing her with passion as I slipped my tongue in.โ€œHey, you asked for a break!โ€ Zev scoffed.โ€œSee! Youโ€™re worn out too,โ€ I said, as I broke away from my beautiful mate.Zev shrugged, โ€œfine. I am.

    Zevโ€™s povโ€œIโ€™ve missed you!โ€ Suzie said, as she gave Lana a big hug.โ€œAnd what about me?โ€ Raiden scoffed.โ€œYeah, not so much.โ€ Suzie replied with a sly smile. โ€œI actually like running this pack without you. Itโ€™s much easier.โ€โ€œShut up.โ€ Raiden chuckled.โ€œAnd Zev?โ€ Lana asked as she let go of Suzie. Raiden immediately snatched our mate under his, tucket into his armpit.

I do most of the work.โ€ Raiden said, making himself even bigger than usual. If he were a gorilla, this would be the moment heโ€™d slap his chest.
