More than anything, Hunter wanted to find Corinne and wrap her in his arms, to drown in her scent, tell her how much he loved her, and feel that the only woman he loved was safe and by his side.
However, as his skin quivered like a hedgehog and his wolf threatened to break free from all the tension, Hunter realized that it wasn't fair to his mate for him to look for her in that state. She was already going through her own personal tragedy and he didn't want to make things worse by bringing an out-of-control wolf into her lap. So, as much as he wanted to see her at that exact moment, Hunter forced himself to walk to his room, practically dragging himself down the hallway, to try to calm his nerves before giving in to the urge to spill all of this on Corinne...
As if his thoughts were so powerful they had materialized, he froze when he opened the door to his room
Corinne had never thought of herself as the type of woman who would be provocative and take the initiative during sex. Hell, until days ago, she was convinced she would never have sex, much less have a moment like that with Hunter, which had nothing to do with claiming, just love and pleasure. At any other time, she would have expected to be shy and just let things happen, but apparently, there was something in Hunter's cock that released a lustful part of her that Corinne didn't even know existed.“Oh, Gods...” she moaned, holding his hands so she could bring them to her breasts and feel more of his caresses, while her hips rode his erection, with only two thin layers of underwear to stop his long cock from sliding into her “Now I understand why all married women are so obsessed with sex...”“Do you like this, my tigress?” H
“You should be out there, you know.” Corinne murmured, her eyes fixed on the window, but her head resting on Hunter's chest and her arms around his waist, as if he were her life raft "I know yesterday's meeting with the pack to reveal everything about William It was more tense and difficult than you told me. I'm sure the wolves need their Alpha there, to support them.”“I've had enough of all this shit, after spending hours telling the pack everything Owen and Ellen ever wanted to hide. Probably now what they want most from me is distance, to be able to absorb all of this.” Hunter tried to hide the pain in his voice, but he couldn't, not when she was the one listening “Besides, no matter what happens, I will always be with my mate first, especially when she needs me. Don’t you want me around?” He left a trail of kisses on her face, making her let out a sad little laugh. “Or are you still afraid that rumors about us being mates will spread?” he joked, although his tone was anythi
“And I also made your favorite meal…” Cindy sniffed, leaving the tray with Corinne’s dinner on the bedside table, with her teary eyes and a choked voice “I hope you like it…”“Stop talking like she’s going to be sentenced to the electric chair, Cindy!” Hunter growled, standing next to the dresser where Corinne was sitting. “We will present all the proof of her innocence tomorrow and everything will be resolved!”“Thanks for that, Cindy. A good beef and roast potatoes will certainly improve my mood.” Corinne smiled, convincing herself that it wasn't that bad a little white lie to calm a female wolf in fear for her Luna's fate. “And help me sleep better, too.”“I’m grateful.” Cindy nodded “Oh, I still can't believe those horrible tigers are having the nerve to do something like that to you. Anyone who saw you interacting with your brother could tell that you loved him so much. Accusing you of doing something like that…”“Tomorrow things will be clear.” Hunter assured,
“You…” Hunter’s voice was hesitant, but his touch was firm and greedy as he ran his hands down her spine, until he found her ass and pulled her up, lifting them both at the same time. “Are you sure about this?” Hunter wrapped his thumbs in her panties, pulling the fabric slowly until she was totally naked before his hungry eyes."Yes I am." She smiled, pulling him close and spreading her legs, which immediately made Hunter hasten to tear off his own pants, showing off that hard cock that made her salivate eagerly for his taste. “I wanted to wait because I wanted it to be a special moment for us… But now I realize that as long as you are with me, it will be special anyway.” Corinne wrapped her thighs around his waist, making them both gasp as his cock brushed her pussy. “I want to feel completely right now and have your mark on me. Just like I want to leave my mark on you.” She lifted herself just enough to lick his neck, making Hunter shiver like he was close to having an o
When Corinne was ten, she returned to Valiant with the plan to spend an entire month with her family during the summer, considerably more time than she normally was allowed. She had buried most of the details of that day deep inside her mind, but everything was perfect until, on the tenth day of her visit, Nicole ran too quickly from the living room, tripping over one of the toys they were using and almost crossing the glass wall towards the garden.However, the one who really destroyed that wall was Corinne, placing herself between the glass and her little sister to be able to push her away, even if that meant being covered in the sharp shards of the completely destroyed wall...And met the judgmental looks of most of the pack, who had been attracted by the noise, when she stood up.That was exactly how Corinne felt at that moment, walking through the huge Calibur meeting room, with all the tigers and wolves looking not only at her, but also at the claim
“Declan!” Corinne didn't even think before tearing the strip of fabric she had in her hands, running to where her little brother had just fallen to the ground, looking very weak “Declan! Are you okay?! Declan!”As she held his tiger's body, supporting his hanging neck and weak body, Hunter, Eli and Juliet also came running to her, getting Declan's blood on their knees as they knelt beside them.“Oh, my baby... I’m so glad you’re awake...” Juliet cried, gently running her hands through her son’s fur. “But why did you rush here like that? All your wounds are open again...” as she took a closer look at Declan's condition, her eyes widened with terror. “Oh, my...”“These cuts are all recent.” Eli growled, his eyes blazing with fury. “Who did this to you, Declan? Who dared to touch my son twice?”“Isn’t it obvious?” Joseph snapped, seeming more concerned about glaring at Corinne than helping to help Declan. “That girl certainly sent some of her wolves to finish off her ow
“What?” Eli was the first to react, with a harsh growl that made Diego take a step back, no longer confident.“This… This is ridiculous!” he gritted his teeth. “Declan has just been attacked and is clearly confused! I would never do something like that...”“You… Did…” Declan gasped again “That day… When Corinne left… And today…”“He’s crazy!” Diego shouted “Corinne certainly must have manipulated him in some way! I know what I saw...”“And your brother seems to know it too…” Hunter let out a deep growl, as if his wolf couldn’t wait to come out and slit Diego’s throat “I knew you were a son of a bitch, but not to the point of try to kill your brother and let your sister be condemned for it...”“Who do you think you’re talking to? I am innocent! Corinne was the cause of all this!” he hissed “Dad, can’t you hear that? Declan is clearly delusional! Do something..."“I'm only going to ask once, Diego…” Eli finally stood up, leaving one of his sons to approach the
Unfortunately, for Corinne, looking at that woman was still like looking in a mirror and seeing herself so perfectly that was like a nightmare. One of the few differences between the two was Seraphina's curly hair, which was now cut to her waist, still shining like gold, without even a single strand of white hair to betray the passing of the years.The only detail that kept her from looking like she came straight out of 18 years in the past was the right half of her face, dark and contorted with deep burn scars running down her neck and, apparently, that entire side of her body, including the back of the hand that she still held up.And, of course, those turquoise eyes, cold and cruel, were still exactly the same ones that Corinne saw in her nightmares when she was a child.“You...” Eli was the first to react, his voice sounding more angry than intimidated. “You should be dead!”“A race as inferior as yours may have hindered my plans all these years ago, but you woul
