All Chapters of My Mate Become My Hunter : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Chapter 131WILDER'S POV “Can I talk to you?” Lyra asks.We’ve been on the move all day, since the middle of the night last night. Finally, Cassian called a halt. He declared that he was too tired to go on, but I don’t think anyone was fooled. He wanted us to stop for Lyra’s sake.I’m glad he said something. I let myself get so distracted with the idea of hunting down the Moon Drinkers that I almost forgot to think about her needs. And, of course, Lyra herself would never ask for us to stop for the day. She has no concept of limitations.“Sure,” I say. “Want to walk down to the creek with me and get water?”She nods and grabs a couple of the bottles. “There’s a creek here?”“Yeah, about a mile that way.” I point. “I spotted it when we were on our way in. So this will be a decent place for us to spend the night.”She nods. “Okay.”We walk in silence for a bit, and I get the feeling she’s waiting to talk about whatever’s bothering her until we’re away from the others. I’m guessing she

Chapter 133CASSIAN'S POV The way we’ve agreed to move through the woods—two people always in wolf form, and two always in human form—means that I’m traveling as my wolf self ninety percent of the time. On occasion, Milo and Lyra will run together, just to give me a break—or so they say. Truth is, I don’t need a break. I’m happy to let the wolf out. I’m comfortable like this.I’m definitely glad I’m in this form when I catch the scent of a band of Ravagers.Nothing on Earth smells the way Ravagers do. Rotting human flesh catches in their teeth and lingers on their breath. They smell like blood in a completely different way than the good sigil I found on the tree a few nights ago. They smell like decay.The fucked up thing is that they walk around like this and don’t know or care. These used to be human beings, people like the four of us. And now they’re unrecognizable.I wheel around as soon as I catch the scent and hurry back to the others. Milo’s running with me, and I know he’ll n

Chapter 135LYRA'S POV “You’re a fucking mess,” Milo says.“Oh, keep your opinion to yourself,” Cassian grumbles. “You wouldn’t be looking your best either if you’d just been chewed on by a band of Ravagers.”“You should have stayed behind me like I told you to,” Wilder says.“You dropped the shield,” Cassian says.“Take it easy,” I tell him. “It could happen to anyone.”“Yeah, I know,” Cassian says. “Sorry.”“If you hadn’t been out in front, I could have kept the shield in between us and the Ravagers,” Wilder says. “I wouldn’t have had to worry about guarding in multiple directions.”“I’m never going to stand back out of the way when there’s a fight,” Cassian says. “If we’re under attack, I’m going to fight. And I can’t fight from a distance the way you three can. I have to get up close if I’m going to do anything.”“Honestly, you impressed me,” I tell him.“They made mincemeat out of me,” Cassian says. He stretches his arm and grimaces. “I wouldn’t be too impressed if I were you.”

Chapter 137STEELE'S POV I lurk behind a tree until dinner starts to break up, and then I follow my friend Joel. He camps on the outskirts of the coven’s territory, just like I do, and he’s always been of a similar mindset to me. We tend to agree on things. That means he’s the most likely to hear me out about this, and I really need someone on my side.I wait until he’s almost all the way back to his tent before calling his name.“Joel!”He startles and looks around.“Steele? What are you doing?”“Can we talk?”“I guess, yeah. Did you want to come in?”He gestures to my tent. I nod.“I sort of thought you might show up tonight,” he says, biting his lip. “Did you?”There’s no way he could have predicted what I found, isthere?“I was going to try to swipe some food for you,” he says. “But Lord Enorio had his eyes on me all night. You know, he knows we’re friends…”“Yeah, I know,” I say. “Don’t worry about it, Joel. I wasn’t expecting you to bring me food.”“Oh,” he says. “Did you get

Chapter 139WILDERI’m stoking the fire when the feeling that something is wrong washes over me.I don’t know how to quantify it or to explain what the problem is. But deep in my gut, I know that something isn’t right.And Lyra isn’t here.Milo’s off hunting for food, and Cassian is filling our water bottles, but I don’t have time to wait for them to come back. I need to find her now. I get to my feet and hurry off in the direction of the snares I know she set a few hours ago.I found her quickly. She’s crouched low, her hands up in a defensive posture, and a moment later, I see the reason why.There’s a man standing there, just a few yards away from her. And I see the mark on his face, beside his left eye, and know at once what he is.I hurry forward, throwing up my shield between the two of them. I pour all my strength into it, knowing that I can’t afford for it to fail this time, and I’m relieved when it feels as sturdy and reliable as ever.I move to her side. She glances at me.“
