Knotting the Hunter Chapter 51 – Hospital Corners
Cody“Yeah, Mom. Of course you can come.”The words are out before I’ve thought anything through.I look up at Mato afterward, which is the part I should’ve done first, since it’s his house.He smells worried. Not for himself, I don’t think. For me, and for a weekend he can probably see coming a lot more clearly than I can. He nods anyway.“Oh, sweetie.” Mom’s crying again, but it’s the happy kind this time. “Thank you. And I’ll finally get to meet your Mato.”Hearing his name in her voice is so weird I nearly drop the phone. Mato smells ridiculously pleased about it.“You will,” I tell her.“Did you eat today?”“Mato made me a sandwich. He cut it into triangles.”Technically, all of that is true. I ate it in four bites with my face, off a plate in the snow, but she didn’t ask for details.“Oh, I like him already,” she says, and she sounds like she means it.I tell her I’ll text her directions. There’s a gate, so she has to call me when she gets there, and I’ll come down and let her i
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 50 – Where You Live
Mato“Cody’s subscribers think he’s in love,” Dax says, with his chin practically on my shoulder.He’s been reading my phone since the first text came in, and he hasn’t once pretended he isn’t.“His subscribers are very perceptive,” I tell him.It took me a minute to answer, because I read that screenshot more times than a grown man should.The night he made that video, I sat in my truck in the drive and told myself none of it was meant for me. Some stranger on the internet worked it out before I did, and I was right there, near enough to hear him breathe.Right now, I’m grinning at my phone in Dax’s kitchen. He’s probably got a new one up by now, and I’m about to spend my morning describing another man’s beard instead of watching it.“Producer,” Dax says, delighted. “Is that your job title now? Do you get one of those folding chairs with PRODUCER on the back? And a clapboard? You can make him retake scenes you particularly enjoy.”“I don’t need a chair. The job comes with a bed, and
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 49 – Screen Test
Cody“Hey, you,” Mato tells my phone.He says it exactly like a cashier telling me my card’s been declined, which is a voice I’m about a week away from hearing for real.He’s sitting on the end of our bed with his flannel buttoned all the way up and my mask on his face. On me, it’s a mask. On him, it’s about half of one, and he looks like a grizzly bear somebody dressed up for a bet.‘Look at him,’ my wolf says, absolutely thrilled. ‘The bear’s wearing our face.’This morning Mato kept his promise, so thoroughly that I passed out again afterward like somebody had shot me with a tranquilizer dart.After that I made the mistake of opening the page. Mom’s rent is due at the end of the week, and so far this month I’ve made enough to buy her a really nice card to apologize with.It’s never once been late, and I’m not having her open an overdue notice because I spent the month being happy. I haven’t posted in weeks. Every time I think about filming, I go and find Mato instead, which has bee
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 48 – Off the Hook
Mato“Unit one, dispatch is still waiting.”“Unit one is putting a stranger’s car down in a parking lot,” I tell him. “Dispatch can hold for two minutes.”“Dispatch is timing you.”The phone’s on speaker in my shirt pocket, so he hears all of it. The chains coming off, the bang when the wheels hit the gravel. The front end of that car is mostly in the back seat now.“One minute fifty,” Cody says, and that bored voice really shouldn’t be this hot. “Dispatch is unimpressed.”“That’s because dispatch has never unhooked a car with a hard-on.”He snorts so loudly the phone crackles.There’s nobody back here at this time of night but me and that car, and it’s in no state to tell anybody.I climb back into the cab, put my back against the driver’s door and extend my legs out along the bench with my boots by the passenger window. It’s the only way a man my size can stretch out in here.‘Drive home,’ my wolf says. ‘Right now. Break the speed limit. If the gate’s too slow, go through it. Dax ca
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 47 – Unit One
Cody“Dispatch to unit one. Come in, unit one.”For a second all I get back is engine, a big rattling diesel growl coming out of my phone like the rig’s parked on the pillow beside me.“This is unit one,” Mato says.He doesn’t sound surprised. He sounds like he’s been awake since dawn and just found out his boyfriend can do a voice like a bored government employee.It’s after one in the morning. He texted me at nine to say it was a two-driver job, a car down an embankment on the highway, and not to wait up.Of course I waited up.I’ve been rolled up in the duvet like a burrito with his pillow in my arms for an hour, getting myself worked up over nothing but the smell of him, and somewhere around midnight I had an idea.“Unit one, you have a job,” I tell him, in my very best dispatcher voice, flat and bored and nasal.“Job number four-seven-two-two. Customer at the Northgate address reports he’s been waiting since nine. Customer reports he’s naked. Customer is very disappointed in the
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 46 – Low and Slow
Mato“You know every wolf in this room can smell what you’re thinking about,” Noah says.He’s leaning on the wall beside me in Rafe’s living room with a beer he hasn’t touched, watching me watch Cody.Cody’s across the room at the kitchen counter with Zaria, trying to teach her a card trick that keeps ending with the whole deck on the floor. Every time it does, he folds over laughing and hangs onto her shoulder. He’s been laughing like that since we walked in.He walked through Rafe’s front door an hour ago and said, “Mato overruled me,” before Rafe could even open his mouth about the pack chat and went straight for the food.“I’m thinking about the salmon,” I tell Noah.My heart trips on the word salmon. Noah hears it, and so does Dax, who’s on Noah’s other side with an arm around his waist.“Liar,” Dax says. “You smell like a man who wants to throw his boyfriend over his shoulder and walk out the door. I know because that’s what Noah always smells like.”Noah jabs his elbow into Dax
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
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 3 – Sign
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
