140. Bonded
~ RIG ~
My chest heaved. I was afraid I was going to crush her, so I forced myself up onto my elbow, but I couldn’t bear the thought of separating from her yet, so I just laid there, gaping at her like an idiot, my hair falling into my eyes.
“Cara… holy shit, did you feel that?”
Her eyes sparkled when she opened them, her face softened by a beaming smile. “Are you serious? Of course I felt it. That was the bond?” Then her eyes dropped to my neck and widened and she clapped a hand there. “Shit! Rig—I’m so sorry! I bit you!”
I laughed—giggled like a girl. “That’s the marking, Cara. It’s what wolves do when the bond completes. I didn’t even think about it—”

Hunted by My Alpha 141. New World with You
~ CARA ~There was an incredible moment when Rig started putting images and memories in my head—they were so much more than anything I could see with my eyes. Colored by feelings and sensations.He showed me the night he'd first accepted the bond, back when I was still completely ignorant.I felt the dual resolution and resignation in him, the knowledge that he was doomed to love me for the rest of his life whether I could feel the bond or not. The fear he'd felt that I wouldn't believe he'd committed to me.And his disgust with himself when I thought he was still sleeping with others.
Hunted by My Alpha 142. Outside Looking In
~ RIG ~The next morning I brought her breakfast to the room.I made some toast and threw fruit, cheese and a couple glasses of orange juice on a tray and carried it back to the bedroom to find Cara standing at the window looking out at the trees in the dawn light.There were no lights on—neither of us needed them even when it was dark—so her small form was silhouetted at the window, but glowing at the edges from the pink light outside.She stood there in one of my robes that hung in the closet here. It was too big for her so she’d rolled up the sleeves. Her hair was messy, and when she turned her head, her lips were swollen from my kisses.She took my breath away.
Hunted by My Alpha 143. Death Knell
~ CARA ~Nerves fluttered in my stomach, outright fear shoved adrenaline through my veins.Rig sat with his elbows on the table and his head in his hands, snarling at himself. “…didn’t think it all through. I was so sure we had it… I was so sure…”I reached across the little table and put a hand on his arm—it was steel under my hand. He was in crisis and I hated that I had no idea what to do to help him.“Rig, there’s no point whipping yourself with it now, it’s done. We have to… to figure out what we’re going to do when we leave, right?”He nodded, but didn’t speak, his eyes open but fixed on nothing, his jaw too tight I was worried he

If you like music while you read, try “River” by Bishop Briggs. It’s what I was listening to while writing this scene!*****~ CARA ~I giggled when he picked me up, but the nerves and tension of our conversation were still distracting me when he gently placed me back on my feet in the large bathroom.It was a beautiful little room—gold and brown marble tile, natural wood cabinets, a massive mirror over the sink countertop with lights marching in line around it, and thick, plush rugs on the cold floors.“Shower or bath?” Rig asked, his voice deep and rough.“Never have I ever…” I said a little breathlessly, then lost my nerve. “You choose,&
Hunted by My Alpha 145. Very Clean
~ CARA ~I stood in the shower, hair twisted on top of my head, water rushing over my shoulders and back, and Rig, eyes hotter than the scalding water that was turning my skin pink, knelt in front of me, running soapy hands up my legs way too slowly.He’d already washed my back, my sides, my breasts—standing behind me so the water hit me in the chest and running his hands all over my torso. But then, just when he’d washed low on my belly with both hands and I thought he’d delve between my leg,s he’d turned me around and dropped.Now small suds ran down my legs. Each of his large hands cupped the backs of my calves and dragged up, making my skin goosebump all the way to my hip.When he reached the back of my thighs, his fingers curling between
Hunted by My Alpha 146. Game On
~ RIG ~Being married was turning me into a dick.We were walking outside in the late misty morning. Up here in the mountains the mist and fog often stuck around, swirling through the trees until lunchtime, or later. I’d been showing Cara around, telling her stories of the times we’d spent up here as a family, and the trips with my friends during high school and college vacations. I didn’t mention Stephen or my dad, just the good times. The fun memories. I was trying to keep both of our minds off everything that wouldn’t make her smile. Because Cara’s smile was beautiful and lit up my chest every time she did it.Of course, that was half the problem. Every time she smiled I needed to take that mouth in a kiss. And every time I kissed her my body woke up again.
Hunted by My Alpha 147. Distraction for the Win
~ RIG ~Cara wanted to make lunch since I’d made breakfast. But both of us were buzzing a little with tension—uneasiness about the future, but also anticipation of our time together. She kept shooting me little, smiling glances that set me on fire and if I didn’t do something to distract myself, I was going to just throw her over the kitchen counter and take her.So while she puttered around in the kitchen I decided to get things ready for that evening. And since we could talk in our heads, I put music on the system and made sure it was playing in the living room and bedroom… just in case.‘What are you smiling about?’ Cara asked in my head. It was obvious she was still tentative about the bond—her thoughts always coming a little hesitantly.
Hunted by My Alpha 148. Our Song
If you like music while you read, try “Into You” by Ariana Grande. It’s what I listened to while writing this scene.*****~ CARA ~When he was dancing around the living room, it was cute and sexy and made me want him again—which was kind of mind-boggling.Then he wanted me to dance with him and I just kind of froze. It was stupid, I knew, to be self-conscious about something like that after everything we’d been through. But watching Rig move, his smooth, controlled, perfect body, his elegance, and sheer sex-appeal… I just felt inadequate to meet that. He would overwhelm me with his hotness, while I jiggled and giggled and generally… didn’t look attractive.I was so enjoying being with him—
