As the son of one of the most influential Lunas to ever exist in the Calibur pack, Hunter was used to attending parties and welcoming different Alphas in the most cordial way possible, even when he wasn't in the mood for it. However, that day, everything seemed very different, as the other Alphas disembarked to enjoy the ball in Corinne's honor. Hunter had never been so in the background as the Alpha of this pack, but he had never felt so proud, either. Hell, Hunter wished he could say he'd be feeling the same way if it were Isabelle, Aiden, or even Felix who were being honored as a hero that night, but…It was special. Because it was Corinne.For probably the hundredth time that night, Hunter broke protocol and slipped into the house, placing himself next to the stairs where Belle had promised that she and Penelope would come down with Corinne when she was ready, which, in his opinion, was t

“Uh… Are you sure it wouldn’t be better if Aiden helped you with this?” Corinne asked nervously, swallowing hard as she watched Hunter undo the buttons on the filthy shirt he was wearing, revealing his chest covered in muscles, scars, and tattoos, before throwing the clothes into the hamper that was next to her.“He's making sure Jennifer doesn't go near the party and try anything else.” he explained, shaking his head with a mix of disappointment and irritation “Besides, the wolves responsible for cleaning will already be unhappy about losing part of the party to clean up that mess near the stairs. I don’t want to make them more dissatisfied by having to clean my room, too.” Corinne's face burned as he began to unbuckle his belt and she was deeply grateful when he finally entered the bathroom of his room, as she would hardly be able to take her eyes of

“The number of disappearances has been decreasing a bit, but…” Dewey and Penelope exchanged an anguished look “What your squad helped us find only deepened our fears.”“What do you mean?” Corrine asked, with her enthusiasm running cold in the same instant.“Although your wolves’ guerrilla techniques are quite antiquated and almost barbaric… They can also be useful, on rare occasions.” Dewet cleared his throat, looking as rusty as an old nail when it came to praise “It was thanks to their advice that we were able to revise our search strategy for the invaders and… Even though we didn’t find those damn things…” his expression went from furious to regretfully “We found the corpse of one of the swans that had been missing for a few months. It had a huge impact

Corinne didn't have fond memories of the last time she'd been surrounded by a pack of unknown shifters in that forest, but the moment she'd realized there were invaders trying to get to the pack once again, the last thing she imagined was that Hunter wouldn't let her fight.She had just sunk her claws into the throat of one of the wolves and prepared to turn and attack the other who was about to bite her shoulder, when Hunter jumped in his bestial form upon her opponent, not only knocking him off her, but also attacking him with a savagery that, although it was an invasion, was somewhat disproportionate. So much so that, even after she managed to knock out one of the men, Hunter was still jumping from enemy to enemy, tearing them apart with pure fury.“You have to leave at least some of them alive.” she snorted, using a piece of her torn clothing to

“Greg!” Corinne repeated that nickname several times, full of emotion in her almost choked voice, as she and the newcomer shared the tightest hug Hunter had ever seen in all his life.Well, his hands would certainly have a tighter grip when he placed them around the neck of that son of a bitch who had dared to lay his hands on Corinne.“I miss you so much, Cory!” the bastard said, full of enthusiasm, entwining himself with Corinne to the point of lifting her feet off the ground as he pulled her closer.Hunter, in turn, just wondered if his arms were really as easy to rip off as they looked, so he could use them to beat that damn tiger until he never thought about approaching Calibur's Luna again.“It's so good to see you…” Corin
