Knotting the Hunter Chapter 271 – Any Other Business
Dax"So we can’t use radios," Kowalski says. "At all.""Not within at least a kilometer of any of the greys. You can use them on the road, but not in the woods. They’ll know we’re there and exactly where as well."It's the second time I've said it tonight, but he’s got thirty people to answer to, and at least one of them will push back on the order. He’s got to be able to say he double-checked, so I say it nicely and watch him write it down and underline it.It’s been two weeks since Nyasia sent her unwilling envoy to our gate and we’ve been doing our best to find a way around the stalemate she forced us into.So this is what the war looks like at the moment. Rosters and meetings about radios. Twenty minutes on whether the hunters are allowed to park on the grass in front of the hall.On the plus side, there are no bodies. On the minus, I’m going out of my ever-loving mind. I want this over with.We’re building toward something, albeit slowly. Undoubtedly, she’s doing the same, so hop

Dax"That's nine.""What is?""You've had your mouth on my shoulder nine times since we walked in the door. I'm counting. It's healed, baby. It was healed before we got to the truck."He's right and I don't care. I've got him backed up against the kitchen counter with his collar dragged off his shoulder, and there's nothing under my tongue but smooth, warm skin where a wolf’s teeth went in to the bone this morning.Every time I check it's still fine and every time it doesn't help."Ten," Noah says, into my hair, and his hand's under my shirt, so he's not exactly fighting me off.'Take him upstairs,' the wolf advises. 'Check it lying down. Check everything. Thoroughly.'I'm considering it hard enough that I've got a knee between his legs, forcing them wider, and his heart's picking up under my palm.Sex is a celebration of life and I’m in a festive mood now that we’re home and he’s safe.Then the pack sense kicks me in the back of the skull.Reena’s somewhere on the fence line and some

Noah"Fifty-six," Lainey says, closing her notebook like the number might keep climbing if she leaves it open."They haven’t changed their route or the time they walk, but there are four big grey ones now instead of two. Two up front, two right behind the last wolf. Nobody's getting near the back of that line again."Lainey looks at Reena questioningly."How did you even know it was a girl?" she asks. "Before she shifted. You kept saying she."Reena looks at her like she’s asked where the sun goes at night."Scent. You humans are the only ones who have to look."Dax hasn't sat down. He's leaning on the front table with his arms folded, and he hasn't looked my way once since we came in.I already know he's furious. Not at me exactly. At what I'm about to say.“It doesn’t matter if the back of the line’s being guarded now. I’m going to be waiting in the middle of the road when they approach. Where they can’t miss me.”"And then what?" Reena asks incredulously. "They chew on you until th

Dax"Quit it.""What?""You keep staring at me like I'm a test you're about to fail."Noah's got hold of my face in the dark and he's been doing that on and off since we first lay down. Thumbs under my cheekbones, eyes gone all distant the way they go when he's looking under the surface.It's the tenth time tonight. I started counting so I’d have facts to confront him with."You’re there," he says. "All of you.""That’s good news, right? Why do you look so miserable?""Headache. Looking under the surface constantly hurts."He lets go and rolls onto his back.“Baby. If it hurts, stop doing it. You know all of me is here. And you don’t usually have to strain to see me and my wolf, do you?”"No. Not really. It’s not like you look like two pictures laid over each other when I look at you. Your wolf is more like a shadow. An impression rather than something solid. I just know he’s there. When I look properly, he’s clearly visible.”“Great. So why don’t you stop when you can sense the impre
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 267 – Lights Out
Noah"You can't sit in there shirtless. You'll scare her.""She's a wolf. She's seen skin.""She's a teenager. I doubt she’s seen that much of it. Or that quality."Dax looks down at himself like this is news.He’s muddy from his boots to his belt and Danny's blood has dried in brown streaks down his chest.It takes nothing away from how searingly hot he is.I've recently spent four solid days licking that chest and Doc Merrin's back step isn't the place for the thoughts I'm having about it. My body isn't consulting me.The sex addict isn't in remission.Merrin comes around the corner of the house with a folded shirt and the face of a woman who's had enough of all of us for a lifetime."I had to pull an extra cot into my garage for Danny. Finn's asleep and Mato's sitting with the two of them."She shoves the shirt at Dax."Finn's, it should fit. Put it on before people start stuffing dollar bills in your pants. I’m not running that kind of establishment."Dax flashes her a grin and pu

Dax"They're coming," Noah says quietly.I can hear them too.Fifty-eight sets of paws on wet snow, walking down the old logging road toward us, and not one growl or yip in the whole lot. It creeps me the fuck out.Werewolves are not naturally quiet. Not even in wolf form. Finn and I are an excellent case in point.I’m also incredibly uncomfortable. The thaw's made a swamp of this hill and I've been lying in mud for an hour.My wolf’s been complaining about it for fifty-nine minutes. No idea when he turned into such a precious princess.'We're wet through. When this is done, our mate will warm us up.'That's your answer to everything.'Show me one time it wasn’t the best solution.'Noah's belly-down next to me with the crossbow up and one of Merrin's orange bolts loaded. He looks calm. He isn't. His heart's running like he's already sprinting, and I can smell how badly he wants this to go right."If I miss," he says, "You're never allowed to bring it up."He must really be nervous. He
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 2 – Heel
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
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 1 – Sight Picture
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
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
