Hunter’s paws weren’t fast enough that day. He had turned into a wolf the instant he heard about how Corinne was alone facing a dozen invaders alone, and as the forest moved in a blur before him, Hunter couldn't even hear the footsteps of the warriors who were slavishly trying to catch up him. Still, as he entered the densest and darkest part of the forest, where several small animals chose to den, he could hear no sounds of fighting or footsteps anywhere, just as there was no sign of Corinne's voice. Shit, he had to find her. She couldn't die like this, in his territory, alone and massacred by his enemies... He still hadn't apologized to her for the way he had treated her. He hadn't let his pack know that his wife was also his mate... Hell, he had never even kissed her or made her smile like he had seen her smil

“And, after defeating an entire small army by herself, she still put herself in harm’s way to save our Alpha!” one of the wolves who was cleaning the bedroom hallway muttered, but her excitement seemed so much that her voice was loud enough for Corinne to hear “I heard their leader is about the size of a Hunter and an Alpha, too. Receiving an attack from him must have been worse than facing all those wolves…”“And yet she risked herself for our Alpha…” a second woman sighed “I think we really misjudged her…”“Do you think there is any possibility that she fell in love with Hunter, like Jennifer was spreading around?” another of them asked, her voice so low that this time Corinne could barely hear her. “She's telling anyone who will listen that we shouldn't be deifying h

“Oh, dear… That really left a huge scar…” Cindy sighed, regretfully, while Corinne stood with her shirt raised in front of the mirror, observing the still reddened skin on her hips, but now at least completely regenerated. “It’s just one more. At least I can’t see my bones anymore when I look at this and I finally got rid of that damn bandage.” she smiled, finishing getting dressed. “Maybe this way your Alpha will finally lessen what he calls security around me. At least before, I didn't need to have a doctor around all the time and have someone tell me I need to go back to bed every time I take a step.” “Our Alpha really cares about you.” Cindy sighed with joy, as if that was something touching “Of course you couldn't see it, because you were unconscious at that moment, but he didn't leave your side after he brought you back from the forest. At every moment,

“And then there’s the Chipmunk Alpha, Berthie. She's adorable in her human and beast form, but trust me, you don't want to say that out loud around her. She will spend decades throwing hazelnuts at you to get revenge.” Isabelle joked, making Corinne laugh nearby and, of course, even though Hunter was just a meter away from the two, neither of them seemed to notice his presence there.“Thanks for the advice. I think I would end up making that mistake one time or another.” Corinne continued with a huge smile as she looked at the list of Alphas that would be visiting them that day “Oh, the Swan Alpha will be coming? I remember hearing about him. I guess that’s why you asked Lilac to do this fancy makeup on me?” She blinked crookedly, as if she was still trying to get used to all the black products lining her eyes and making them even more crystal clear and inten

Never in his life would Hunter imagine that a simple outfit would make him so upset. However, as he watched Corinne standing next to him, in a cream-colored dress much simpler than the one that had been ruined while still on the mannequin, that was exactly how he felt. By the time Lilac had reached the room and nearly had a heart attack seeing what had been done with one of her finest creations, in her own words, everyone had to accept that Corinne was right about the dress being a lost cause. Lilac was working on one of the dresses she had custom made for her, but although it was pretty and shiny, it was no more than a lining compared to the other. Still, Corinne didn't hesitate to put it on, along with that necklace she had worn at they wedding, to prevent them from being late to welcome their guests. “It's good to finally meet you, Princess Valiant… I mean, Luna Calibur…” Berthie Maddox, the Alpha of t
