Something I thought was purposeful.
It was the reason she had no control over her wolf when she shifted. The beast was feral because it lacked her emotion and control. Most likely because she allowed it to overpower her.
Removing the last vestiges of my clothing, I sniffed the air. Her scent was overpowering. This wasn’t fair play, but hell if I ever played by the rules. Her sweet honeysuckle scent would easily lead me right to her. We were several miles from the safe house in the pitch black, and only one of us knew how to navigate using our wolf instincts.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t her.
I took off toward her, my heart beating in my chest like a crazed stallion. My bare feet slapped against the earth as I bounded off after her. Already, she was heading in the wrong direction. Or maybe that was her plan. I’d told her to run back to the safe house, but that didn’t mean she would. Either way, I would find her, fuck her, mate her, and drag her back to Wolf fully satisfied so that he could have his turn.
What a plan.
It was the middle of spring, so the rains had come through, washing away older scents. I’d been tracking her slowly for over a mile. She’d made surprisingly good time for being naked and unused to the terrain. When her scent diminished, I searched around for the source, only to find that she’d most likely dipped into the mud pits that led toward the river a few miles ahead.
She might not make it back to civilization or the safe house, but my mate was fucking crafty. I had to give her that. I searched the ground for signs of her footsteps, smirking when I saw the trail she’d left behind her. Smart in covering her scent, but not so smart when it came to covering her tracks. The footsteps she’dleft behind were light. Freya’s omega roots made her smaller and lither than others. She had that on her side.
Smiling proudly, I prowled behind her, senses on high alert in case my little mate got cheeky and set a trap for me. It hit me out of nowhere that she probably didn’t know she was an omega. Fuck. Had she ever gone through a heat? Information on omegas was rare because they were thought to be extinct. Would mating her trigger the heat cycle? Damn, I’d have to remember to consult Doc on all this shit.
I sniffed. Honeysuckle drifted on the wind. She had gotten farther than I imagined she would. The thought of claiming her while she was covered in mud and clawing at the dirt to get away sent my cock straight to attention. Primal instincts were something very few people fully understood. I was sure it stemmed from my need to always hunt. I’d been the predator for so long that hunting prey was what my body had learned to crave, what my wolf had learned to crave, and hunting our little mate made us both hungry to capture her, fuck her, and claim her as our own.
Soon, she’d be begging for my knot.
Come out, my Little Red.
She’d nearly made it to the river. I wondered idly if that had been her plan all along. If she had been paying attention as I dragged her out of the safe house, she would have noticed the river that ran alongside it.
What a smart omega.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are,” I murmured. She was close. My wolf paced inside my mind excitedly. The chase had woken him. The smell of her arousal mixed with the sweet honeysuckle had him salivating. I wondered idly if her cream would taste just as sweet.
The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end.
She was watching me.
Brave little girl.
Shit, this was harder than I thought it would be. The rushing roar of the river pricked at my ears. I’d thought that out here, in nature, it would be easier for me to hone the senses of my wolf.
It wasn’t.
The little bitch in my mind was enjoying the chase. She was ready to be caught, but I didn’t want to make it so easy.
“I will claim every hole you have and force your pleasure until the only thing you can think about is screaming my name.”
I shouldn’t feel turned on by that, right? I mean…right? Damien had threatened me with something similar, and it definitely hadn’t made me wet between my legs. Why was it so different with him?
Mate.
Moon Goddess, I wished she would stop saying that.
Wished I would stop saying that.
Damn, I liked it better when she was silent. Now I felt like I was going insane. That was what a wolf was. A part of oneself. It wasn’t some separate entity inside us that we could hold conversations with. Although that would have come in handy as a teenager.
No, a wolf was an instinct, and right now, mine was screaming at me that this dude was my mate. But he couldn’t be, could he? Were mates even a real thing?
“Come out, come out, wherever you are.” Hunter’s murmur taunted me as it seeped through the darkness and coiled around me.
He knew I was here.
