All Chapters of MY SECOND-CHANCE MATE IS A WOLF HUNTER: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

As soon as he jumped off me, I got up and turned back.A blush covered my entire face and I couldn’t bear the idea of him seeing it.There was a dull pain in my shoulder, but I could easily ignore it. Other things filled my senses.The sound of my rapidly beating heart, for example.The image of what I had seen flashed through my mind. His dripping body pinning me to the ground.He definitely had many scary features. I never expected a human to be so…The thought of it gave me a tingling sensation. I stopped myself from imagining anything too obscene.When he started talking behind me, I pictured him watching me closely. It caused me to twitch all over. And goosebumps covered my skin.Suddenly, I was regretting coming out here. I should have honestly just slept in till dawn.My embarrassment reached an all-time high and I forced myself to push it down. Why did I have to be so embarrassed about seeing him naked anyway? He didn’t seem to have any issue when he hauled me over his back awh

It took me an embarrassingly long time to find my way back to the cave.My anger didn’t fade. And when I got back to the cave it smelled of him, so I got pissed off even further.I decided following him for a hunt was a stupid idea. Although I had never had to hunt for my own food in the pack, because my father had kept me close, and I wasn’t allowed to shift, I knew that I could pull it off. It just went wrong because Phoenix was following close by and probably scaring off all the prey. He was walking around like a mobile armory.I stomped into the cave and went straight to my bed. I had slept all day but after hours of a failed hunt I was tired.Of course, I couldn’t relax with the anger I felt. I figured that I could calm myself down now that I had the cave all to myself.I knew that Phoenix would have a hard time hauling that deer carcass back here, so I probably had an hour or two to myself.I sat on the straw bed and rested against the wall. I crossed my legs together.It took a

I sat down in front of the cave.I was exhausted. And it definitely didn’t help that I didn’t get any sleep the night before.Of course I had to circle back to the stream to wash off my traces after taking care of the invocates.A run back here through the forest sealed the deal. I even beat my record and managed to make it in fifteen minutes.I was worried that the invocates had not fallen for my tricks and had somehow circled back before me.If that was the case I was ready to make a last stand. As long as they didn’t get to Morning.Memory of her laughter spurred me forward. I couldn’t let her experience that again.Luckily nothing had happened. I waited at the entrance anyway.But now people were coming.I stood up to catch Roman in a hug as he dove into me.I ruffled his black hair. He was still three feet shorter than me. But he was still growing fast for a ten year old boy.“So you’re back huh.”He didn’t answer me and just held tightly to me.“Happy to see you too.” I said.Ro

Phoenix seemed to accept my conditions for following him.He shrugged, then stepped out of the way.The woman approached me first.“My name is…” She looked back to Phoenix before she completed the sentence.Phoenix nodded his head. “She is a little murderous, but we can trust her.”I took a split second to glare at him. He had no idea what murderous was.“My name is Rowena. And you are?” Rowena said.Then, after a slight delay, she raised her hand for a handshake as if she had forgotten about that part.My first thought was that she had such a beautiful name. It had a surreal beauty just like hers. Even as I glared at her, I found it difficult to tell what the color of her eyes were.Were they blue or green or yellow? They seemed ever shifting.She was also taller than me, and she had a slender and graceful figure.It made me dislike her. No one should be that perfect.“My name is Morning White. Daughter of Alpha Conrad of the White claw pack.” I said. My tone was far from civil.Rowe

“What do you mean she escaped?!”The stupid guard shrank back at my perfectly reasonable outburst.“I apologize Alpha, but she killed both Jonathan and Ken. She was out of the pack before anyone knew what happened.” He said.I slammed my fist into my desk. The wood cracked down the middle and creaked just before it crashed to the ground in two separate pieces.“So you’re telling me that the two warriors I sent to watch her were somehow killed by her?!”“Yes Alpha.”A large vein was very close to popping in my head.I moved my throbbing hand to my back and held it there. Then I moved around my broken desk in a tight circle.I stopped and faced the cowering warrior again.“And how exactly did she break out of the chains!? I made sure she got a heavy dose of wolfsbane when I locked her up. Any more than that would have killed her!”I had been very tempted to just kill her while she was unconscious, but I had held myself back. I needed the approval of the pack before I took such a drastic
