Knotting the Hunter Chapter 18 – Nine Years
CodySomebody took my boots off last night, and it definitely wasn’t Rafe. He’d have had my pants off too and left a note on my chest telling me I was welcome.They’re lined up by the front door. The last thing I remember is sitting down on Mato’s couch for one second to take them off myself. Now it’s morning, I’m still in my coat, and my boots made it over there without me.There’s nobody else in this house, so it was Mato. He got them off without waking me up, like I’m a toddler who passed out in his car seat after a birthday party and had to be carried inside. I can’t decide whether that’s humiliating or sweet, and I’m pretty sure it’s both.I also stink of Rafe. It’s soaked into my coat, and I’d bet money he’s still on my mouth.Which means Mato smelled it the whole way home. I sat right up against him in the cab with my face not very far from his nose, so there’s no way he missed it. He didn’t say a single word about it, not in the truck and not when we got back here.Neither did
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 17 – Snowbank
Mato“So, funny story,” Rafe says. “I put my car in a snowbank.”The number on my screen isn’t one I know. It’s after eleven, and in my experience, nobody who calls me at this hour is ever about to make me laugh.Cody was in that car.“Cody’s fine,” Rafe says, before I can get the question out. “He’s laughing at me.”Behind him, a little way off from the phone, Cody’s laughing so hard he’s wheezing.I have to sit down on the arm of the couch, and it takes a second before my hand’s steady enough to keep hold of the phone.“Where are you?”“County road, about halfway between town and your gate. There’s a corner out here that’s a lot tighter than it looks.”“How did you get this number?”“Cody wouldn’t call you, so I got it off his phone.” He sounds thrilled with himself. “Figured you’d want to come and get him yourself.”That’s twice tonight he’s let me know he can see right through me, and it hasn’t gotten any more fun.Cody didn’t want to be the one to call me. He’s on a date, and the
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 16 – Dinner
CodyThe rig comes up the drive, and there’s a second engine right behind it. It’s low and smooth, and it’s definitely not a truck.Two doors slam, and two sets of footsteps crunch across the yard toward the house.Holy shit. Mato brought somebody home.That’s what the offer to crash at Finn’s was really about. It wasn’t him being nice, it was a heads-up, and I’m supposed to return the favor.The man hasn’t had a date over since I moved in, and the same day he mentions it, he shows up with one.Where am I even supposed to go? Shania, I guess. I’ll sit out there with the heater running and pretend I can’t hear what’s happening in his bed.I’d probably have to leave the Reserve to get out of earshot. Even then, I’m not sure there’s anywhere far enough away to escape the squeaking of his bed.‘Go and bite whoever that is,’ my wolf says. ‘Somewhere soft and sensitive.’We’re not biting Mato’s date. Biting people is how they end up at Kelly’s table every week for the rest of their lives.T
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 15 – Asking Properly
MatoThere’s a wolf sitting outside our gate like somebody sent him an invitation.He’s on the county side of the bars, right in the middle of the road, with my headlights full on him. Brindled, bigger than Cody and nowhere near my size. When the rig stops, he doesn’t get up or even blink.I roll my window down, and the wind brings his scent straight into the cab. It belongs to an Alpha I’ve never met, and he's got the air of someone who's realised he's shown up uninvited and is too stubborn to leave.There’s only one stranger like that I know of around here. Cody met him in that park of his and swears he’s harmless. His name’s Rafe, and this has to be him.‘Run him off,’ my wolf says. ‘Or we could kill him.’We’re not killing anyone at the front gate.‘Then we’ll kill him at the back fence. I’ll walk him around.’The remote’s in my cup holder and I leave it there. Nobody comes through that gate without Dax’s say-so. If I let this one in, I’m speaking for the whole pack, and that’s Da
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 14 – I Didn’t Leave
CodyThe little typing dots would be nice. Anything at all, so I’d know he’s out there trying to figure out what to say.That text was supposed to be a way out for both of us. All he has to do is write back “Pretty loud,” and we can pretend tonight never happened until we die of old age. I’d happily go along with it.Except Mato has never told me a lie, not even the polite kind, and apparently he isn’t about to start for my sake.No reply shows up, and honestly, that’s an answer all by itself.His sheets are clean now. The old ones are in the washer, the ring light’s back in the box, and I even flipped the general back over, so at least one of us can look Mato in the eye tomorrow.The box is in the closet with my bags. No way was I carrying it past that tow truck to put it back in Shania.Now I’m on the couch with the blanket up to my nose, faking sleep, which is a pretty stupid plan when the guy I’m hiding from will hear my heartbeat the second he walks in. Mine’s going like the bass
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 13 – Call-Out Cancelled
MatoMy bedroom window is lit up white, brighter than any lamp I own, and I’ve already killed the engine when I remember what that light means.The guy called back when I was nearly at the lake. His buddies are going to drag his truck home behind one of theirs instead, which will save him my fee right up until they find out what that does to a transmission.I turned around meaning to park at the bottom of the road and wait out the hour Cody asked for. Somehow, I drove right past the spot and all the way up to my front door, the way I always do.I spent the entire drive back thinking about him, and still forgot I’d promised to be gone.For a second, I just sit with my hand on the key and my face hot, like he’s caught me going through his things.There isn’t a sound coming out of my house.‘He heard us,’ my wolf says.There’s no way he didn’t. Any wolf could hear a rig this size turning in off the road, and Cody’s ears work just fine. He’s probably lying in my bed right now, holding his
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 6 – Tells
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
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 5 – Carrion
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
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 4 – Downwind
DaxFor the last hour I've been telling myself I'm only out here to keep the idiot from getting himself killed.It's a good lie.Responsible.Very Alpha.The kind of thing my father would've said with a straight face right before going off and doing exactly what he wanted.Truth is, I caught his tr

NoahThree miles from where you should be standing.The asshole could have at least given me a direction.Fortunately, I’ve learned to trust my instincts.Hunters don’t have any inherent magic, but our senses are more developed than those of ordinary humans.So here I am.Three miles out from the N
