Lahat ng Kabanata ng Hunting for our Mate: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Zev’s pov“You probably don’t want to hear from me. I’m the guy who threw his mate away like she was nothing.”Suzie sighed on the other end of the phone, “stop feeling sorry for yourself, Zev. I do want to talk to you. I might not have done the same thing, but we’re still friends.”“Are you still friends with Lana too?” I asked, still angry about everything that has happened. I was trying so hard not to be, but it’s difficult when she’s here and I can’t leave.“I don’t know. Is it true what they said?”“What did they say?” I replied, not sure what news had gotten to Suzie’s pack. She didn’t attend the party, even though we did send out an invitation. Some things we had tried to keep under wraps; Raiden didn’t want everyone to know about Lana, I guess.Suzie sighed, “there are different rumors going around. One of them is that one of the hunters came inside on fire, like a suicide bomber almost, trying to set the pack on fire.”I scoffed, “they think Lana was trying to kill everyone by

Raiden’s povAll this time I was looking for Atalanta. I had been angry, but there had been another emotion buried underneath, which was fear.I was petrified she would be hurt or worse.And now I feel this need to protect my mate above anything else. To the point where I can’t think straight.I’m trying my best to sound calm, to keep my voice gentle instead of growling. I had screamed at people for these past two weeks, grunted and growled instead of using my normal voice.But not that I am back; I am forced to go back to normal. To pretend like I am not different. That I didn’t kill hunters and rogues on an almost daily basis.However, I will be calm for her. I will try to not let my anger get the best of me.“What’s this about, little mouse?” I wondered why she was asking these questions. Was it because I marked her without her permission?Or did something happen with those bastard hunters?“I don’t want them to do any tests.” She said.“Then I will tell them not to.” I replied. I d

Atalanta’s pov“It’s okay, little mouse. It’s okay.”Raiden tells me this every time I wake up at night, with his arms tightly around me.The first night I went back to the packhouse with him, he offered me my own room. He said to give me space and to let me be the one to choose when I felt ready to share a bed.But the first night I couldn’t sleep. I paced around the room, scared what would happen if I slept. I knew deep down my uncle couldn’t get to me here, but that didn’t make me any less scared.It didn’t help that I couldn’t remember anything from being in a coma. I was out for two weeks, who knew what people had done to me in my sleep?Sleeping felt dangerous.Finally, by the fourth or fifth hour of staying in a room by myself, Raiden knocked on the door and told me to come to bed with him.It didn’t feel like he was forcing me, but like he was offering me comfort.He asked what I needed to be able sleep, and I couldn’t think of anything that would work.“Do you want me to hold

Zev’s povWhen I entered the library, I noticed Atalanta was there too, but like usually, I didn’t bother acknowledging her. It was easier this way.‘You’re punishing her.’ Rishi voiced. But I’m not punishing her.I’m avoiding her. I promised Raiden I wouldn’t do anything to upset his precious mate, and if I were to talk to her, something mean would most likely come out.I still feel betrayed. Even more so now that I’ve learned the full truth of what’s going on.She could have trusted me. I trusted her, and look what that got me.Raiden had asked me to investigate half-wolves throughout history. It’s something I knew a little about but hadn’t researched thoroughly before.He had explained what Atalanta had overheard that general guy say. It was ludicrous to think that would work—breeding half-wolves to fight against full-blooded werewolves?But that man sounded crazy anyway.They’d never be strong enough to defeat us, but they would be perfect spies and could potentially attack us from

Atalanta's pov “First we get naked, then I will explain,” I said, needing him inside of me more than ever. I helped Raiden out of his pants and lowered mine to the ground. He shredded my top with his claws, which I somehow found extremely sexy even if I didn’t have that many clothes. Luna Grace said we could go shopping soon, though, but I haven’t felt brave enough to go into the city. “You’re so beautiful,” Raiden said while he looked at my naked body. We had showered together a few times, but he had been extremely respectful. But that was over. I gigged to myself. His erection was standing proud, while his eyes roamed my body. “Fuck, you’re sexy.” “Can I taste you?” I mimicked his words. He nodded, “yes, Atalanta.” I got on my hands and knees, bent over his body, licking his tip like an ice cream before sucking it into my mouth. “Fu-uuuck, that’s good.” I hadn’t heard Raiden swear much, but it didn’t bother me. My family used a lot of bad language around each other. I starte
