Knotting the Hunter Chapter 12 – The Only Door
CodyMato’s phone goes off halfway through a movie about a haunted ski lodge, and I’m sitting up before it’s finished the first ring.For a few nights straight, every driver in Tamarack has managed not to have an accident, which is great news for them and pretty terrible for me.I could just ask for his room, but I’m not telling a man to go and sit in his tow truck in the snow so I can jerk off in his bed. I do have some manners.In the meantime, I’ve been buying him coffee, because it’s the only rent he’ll take. There’s so much of it now that it’s up on top of the fridge with the books.I can hear the guy on the other end without trying, talking way too fast about his pickup and a dirt road out by the lake that had a canyon hidden under the snow judging by the way he’s carrying on. Mato listens for about a second and says, “I’m on my way.”“They race up and down that road like idiots,” he tells me, already up and reaching for his boots by the door. “Keeps me in work though.”“Did he

CodyMato’s phone dings on the counter. He taps it with his thumb without putting down the spatula, and a second later mine buzzes on the table.Your Interac e-Transfer to Mato was declined.I send it again. Ding, tap, buzz. The third time, I type RENT AND FOOD in the message. Ding, tap, buzz.“You can’t keep declining it,” I tell him.“I can. It’s one button. Barely takes any effort.”Who turns down free money? Tanner once fished a two-dollar coin out of the toilet and called it a good day.“It’s for my room and board,” I say.“I know what it is. I’m pretty proficient at reading.” He puts a plate of eggs in front of me. “Part of the reason you’re staying here is to help you save money. I’m not having you replace one payment with another.”“You’re not having me do anything. I’m offering.”“And I’m declining. That’s how offers work.”If I pay rent, I’m a housemate, and I don’t have to feel like a charity case. If I don’t, I’m a favor Dax called in.“I’m not living in your house for fre
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 10 – Shoebox
MatoI’m going to know he’s there every second.He’s been on the Reserve since last night, and his thread hasn’t been out of my head once. His heartbeat’s been in my ears all morning. My entire house isn’t much bigger than this kitchen.He says it like he’s doing me a favor. Like the nicest thing he can do for me is live in my house for as short a time as possible and then disappear again.I’m not breathing. When I make myself start again, I notice my claws are out, all of them, on both hands, and I can’t remember the last time that happened without me asking for it.‘He wants to hide from us in our own house?’ my wolf says.I spent months teaching Cody how to keep his claws in, and I can’t manage mine for one sentence. He’s moving in today, and I’m in real trouble.I tuck my hands under my arms and pull the claws back in. Dax still has his face in Noah’s hair, so nobody saw except Cody, who’s looking straight at my hands with a complicated expression on his face.What does he think t
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 9 – Down the Hall
CodyPick who I’d like to live with. Like it’s the finale of a dating show and I’m the one holding the last rose.‘The bear,’ my wolf says instantly. ‘Give him the rose.’We’re not giving anybody a rose.There’s no denying that I knew the answer the second Dax said it, and I’m currently doing my best to try and talk myself out of it.Dax is watching me with his arms crossed, and Noah’s watching me from inside them. Mato’s at the counter, exactly where he was when he told Dax it was my money.Does he finally see me as an adult, fully capable of making my own choices, or was he just trying to placate me and avoid an argument? I’d give just about anything for him to finally see me as more than the broken kid they saved.I’d love to tell Dax where he can stick his choice, but he’s right. If I give up my room in town, I’m paying one rent instead of two.For the first time in forever, I might get to the end of the month without checking my bank balance every five minutes.I won’t miss that
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 8 – Pack Business
MatoCody just told me an Alpha none of us have ever met runs in his park most nights, like it’s nothing.He shrugs at me over his empty plate. “Just some guy. His name’s Rafe. He’s new to the area and he’s harmless.”His heart doesn’t jump on any of it, so as far as he knows, it’s all true.“You’ve talked to him.”“We were both naked in the parking lot at the time. It would’ve been rude not to.”I’ve got a lot of follow-up questions, and all of them would make me sound jealous.‘We should run that park tonight,’ my wolf says. ‘See how he likes some company.’We’re not doing that.What I actually need to know is who this Rafe is, where he’s staying and what he wants so close to our pack. Cody thinks he’s harmless. Cody also thought he could go three weeks without a run.“Dax needs to hear about this,” I say.Cody groans. “It’s a national park that’s open to the public. He runs in it. He’s not encroaching on Tsintah territory. That’s all there is to it, there’s no need for me to go and
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 7 – Fried Potatoes
Cody“Hands,” Mato says.I hold them up over his kitchen table, palms out.They stay blessedly normal, no unwanted claws sprouting. I’ll be fine for a bit now that my wolf’s had time to run.He puts the spatula down and takes my left hand anyway.He turns it over and presses his thumb into the tip of each finger, one at a time, checking that every claw went back where it belongs. His hand’s so big that mine disappears in it, and his palm is rough and still warm from the stove.It’s the first time he’s touched me in three years. I’ve thought about his hands way too much since then, mostly in ways that would get me thrown out of his kitchen, and now one of them is holding mine like a library book he needs to check for damage.I’d let him go over the rest of me too, and he can take all morning.My heart’s thudding so hard there’s no way he can’t hear it, and my claws stay right where they are, which is all thanks to the run and none of it to me.‘He’s holding our hand,’ my wolf says. ‘Li

DaxThe wolf wants to turn around.He's wanted to turn around since I cleared the fence, and he isn't being quiet about it, because quiet isn't a thing he owns.He just keeps shoving the same word into the back of my skull like a toddler with a doorbell.Ours.Ours, ours, ours."He's a hunter," I t

NoahThree weeks I've been hunting this wolf, and tonight, finally, he does me the courtesy of holding still long enough to kill.Big of him.He's at the tree line where Northgate's fence gives up and the real woods start, and he's shirtless.Obviously. He almost always is.Cold's got nothing to sa

DaxThe thing's in pieces at our feet and my body's still waiting for round two.I never come down off a kill clean. My blood's still up, ears still straining, every muscle still voting to hit something else.I don’t think it’s a werewolf thing. It’s an adrenaline thing.So when the wolf decides to

NoahThe wolf hits it like a truck, and the thing barely rocks.Wrong.Two hundred pounds of Alpha at a dead run should fold anything with a spine.This rotten thing takes the hit, slides back a boot-length in the dirt, and swings an arm the size of my leg.The wolf has to wrench sideways midair to
