“This is Gone North,” Sloane says. “I’m at the kitchen table with Pauline Brandt and her son, Cody, who vanished from a highway gas station more than three years ago. Around the same time, a whole group of people went missing up here, and they all came back together from a cult camp. Cody made it home months ahead of all of them, on his own, and whoever took him has never been found.”

  • Knotting the Hunter   Chapter 36 – On Trial

    Mato“She went around town asking everyone if I’ve ever worked for them on the downlow and then she threw it at me like a gotcha question when everyone denied ever hiring me. I asked her if she really thought people paying under the table were about to admit it to someone they don’t know.”Cody says it from the doorway, with his keys in his hand. He doesn’t take his coat off. He just stands there on the mat, waiting for my verdict.I’ve been anxiously watching the clock since he left.“I kept saying it to myself out loud the entire drive home,” he says. “I thought it was pretty clever when I came up with it, but by the time I got to the gate I was sure it was the dumbest thing I’ve ever said.”I hate that he spent that whole drive doubting himself.“What you said was perfect. Nobody paying cash under the table is going to admit it to a stranger with a microphone, whatever she promises them.”He finally shrugs his coat off, but he’s still wound tight, and I can’t blame him. I meant wha

    Cody“This is Gone North,” Sloane says. “I’m at the kitchen table with Pauline Brandt and her son, Cody, who vanished from a highway gas station more than three years ago. Around the same time, a whole group of people went missing up here, and they all came back together from a cult camp. Cody made it home months ahead of all of them, on his own, and whoever took him has never been found.”She’s using a radio voice, a lot warmer and slower than her real one. She also just put the biggest hole in my story out in the open.Same town, same months, and I’m the only one who was supposedly never anywhere near that camp. I’m pretty sure her whole episode will be about whether I was really somewhere else.The little black recorder between us has a red light on it, and I’ve stared at it so long I see a red dot every time I blink.Mom’s holding onto my arm, and she’s been smiling at Sloane since the doorbell rang. She even put on lipstick, and it’s wasted on something people will only ever hear

  • Knotting the Hunter   Chapter 34 – Five Stars

    MatoNobody asks if he’s joking. Every wolf in this kitchen can hear his heart, and it just told them he isn’t.Fuck. He actually said it. I was half sure he’d take the way out I gave him.Cody doesn’t move. He’s got his hands clamped together in his lap, and he’s staring hard at his plate so he doesn’t have to look at anyone. He’s terrified.My guess is he’s waiting to smell what they think of him.I love this pack, but if anybody at this table makes him sorry he said it, they’re going to answer to me, and I don’t care whose house this is.I check the room for him. It’s mostly surprise, coming from pretty much every chair. Finn’s delighted, and Dax smells like somebody just took a weight off his chest. I go round twice to be sure, and there isn’t a trace of disgust anywhere.I put my hand on his knee under the table. He doesn’t look at me, but he leans into my side a little, so at least I know he wants me there.Noah’s the only one who’s shocked. He was raised human, and right now it

  • Knotting the Hunter   Chapter 33 – Sunday

    Cody“Sloane called the police station yesterday afternoon,” Mato says. “She wants every file they’ve got on the missing kids from Tamarack, and that includes yours.”I stop dead in the middle of the road.The whole way from his front door I’ve been trying to wipe the grin off my face before we get to Kelly’s. I don’t have to try anymore.“Yesterday afternoon,” I say. “So you knew about this last night.”“Tori told us when she got home from the station, right before your text came in.”He knew the whole time. He had this sitting on his chest while he was in bed with me, and I never caught a whiff of it on him.“Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because last night was ours,” he says. “I wasn’t going to let her have one minute of it.”I can’t be mad at him for this. We’ve waited so damn long, I’d have cried if anything spoiled it.“Thank you. Last night was perfect. I’m really glad she wasn’t anywhere near it.”He looks like he wants to kiss me right here in the road, but recent events have pro

  • Knotting the Hunter   Chapter 32 – Exceptionally Good

    CodyI run my hands up his arms. They’re trembling all the way to the shoulders.Mato’s the one who used to fire provincial capitals at me until my claws went back in, and his voice never wobbled once. I honestly thought nothing in the world could rattle him.Now the steadiest man I know can’t hold still and he’s admitting he’s been nervous over me for years.“I never knew,” I tell him. “I wish you hadn’t been so good at hiding it.”He kisses me hard, then goes searching through the sheets by my hip until he finds the bottle.I watch him pour some into his big hand and stroke it over himself, his jaw tight, his eyes on my face the whole time.The head of his cock nudges against me, slick and hot, and every muscle I’ve got clenches.Okay, this part I know. I’ve been doing it to myself for years. I breathe out long and steady and bear down instead of fighting him, same as always.My body gives, and he pushes into me. Holy shit, he’s so much bigger than I was ready for.It burns, a brigh

  • Knotting the Hunter   Chapter 31 – Nowhere Near Done

    MatoI can smell his terror, sharp under all that want, and he’s still looking up at me like I’m the one person he’d trust with it.I’m worried too. Everything about me is too big for him. My hands, my weight, my cock. If I hurt him tonight, I’ll never forgive myself, even if he’s healed by morning.“Cody,” I say, and I can already hear how stupid this is going to sound. “I don’t have any lube.”He stares at me. Then he starts laughing, his stomach jumping under mine.“You’re telling me you went down on me like that,” he says, “and you don’t even own lube?” He wriggles out from under me. “Lucky for you, I’ve got some in my box. Don’t move.”He’s off the bed before I can offer to get it myself, and a second later I hear him sprinting across the living area.I lie there in the dark with a stupid grin on my face, listening to him. The closet door. A lid. Something getting knocked over, and a very quiet “Shit.” I don’t go after him. Whatever else is in that box is his business, and he’ll

  • 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

    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

  • 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
