Chaiter 143. Ratuning Home 11 Chapter 143: Returning Home Sophie I was thrilled to sign the alliance agreement with my sister. I loved that Hunter acted as if it was no big deal, but in the history of alliances, in the history of werewolves, I’m confident that mine and my sister’s signatures are the first female signatures to ever be part of an alliance agreement. It makes me feel special, important. The exact way that Hunter always makes me feel. That’s because you are special, and you are very, very important to me,’ he says in the mind link as I ride Shaw back to our pack lands. ‘What do you think will happen with Amelia and Calvin?’ I ask. The tension between them had been palpable. “Amelia and Calvin have a long way to go to repairing their bond, if that’s even something that Amelia wants, which right now, it doesn’t seem like she does.” I’d thought when Calvin had gone with her upstairs that some of that angry energy would have been burned off. But while she smelled of him when she came back down, it was obvious that they hadn’t been together. Me? I was practically desperate for my mate, wanting to make sure that he was safe and mine. ‘I’m always yours,’ he purrs in my head. ‘And you did come find me.’ 0.00% ||| 14:50 ‘Yes. Caroline told me to go shower, so I did. Who am I to argue with my sister’s Beta?’ I say, remembering Hunter also being possessive when I’d stepped into the shower with him. ‘It’s not my fault. I was worried sick about you and then, I know how much you like being taken

against the shower walls.’ ‘It always reminds me of our first night together,’ I say, and I can feel the rumbling purr in Shaw’s body as well as hear it at my words. I know he’s been through those moments in my head, but I begin sending them to him, pushing my feelings for him into them as well. I realize that my love for Hunter is so much stronger now. Then, it was driven by the mate bond. Now, the mate bond is there, but it’s the man himself that I love. There is so much about Hunter that makes me proud and happy to be his mate. One minute I’m riding on Shaw, and the next, Hunter is standing, grabbing my legs as I yip in surprise, holding on to his shoulders. We’re in between the pack lands, with no one around. “You can’t send those types of images to me, Sophie, and not expect me to respond,” he growls, pulling me around to the front of his body, my legs still wrapped around his waist. I immediately feel how hard he is, and a moment later, his mouth is on mine as he begins flooding me with images and feelings that he’s had of me, from the first night and so many nights since then. Somehow, he lays me in a soft grassy place, sliding inside me as both of us become desperate to physically connect with each other. He takes his time, as we both send images and emotions 18.81% ||| 14:49 288 Vouchert to the other of our love, respect, admiration, and adoration. Every possible emotion that the other feels is shared while he brings me up and over, up and over, until I’m clinging to him and he’s growling softly as tears of utter euphoria leak from my eyes. When he finally releases inside me, he lays his forehead against mine, both of us panting, having shared the feeling of our o**ms with the other. Our connection feels even stronger now, somehow bringing us even closer together. “I thank the goddess for you every single day, Sophie. I truly didn’t know that happiness like this existed,” he says, kissing my tears before burying his face in my neck. I realize that his face is dampText © owned by .

too, the power of our love impacting him as much as it impacted me. “I love you so much Hunter. Words don’t even come close to expressing that.” He gently kisses my neck. “Your emotions do though. I love that we can share them, and that yours are becoming stronger towards me as mine are towards you. I really never understood how powerful love could be.” “Well, we are the trendsetters. Showing the world how amazing love can be should be our next trend,” I say, making him chuckle before gently kissing my neck. “I love you, Sophie Reynolds.” “And I love you, Hunter Reynolds.” He takes a deep breath, breathing in my scent. “Come on, we need to get back. We need to check on our wounded,” he says, 43.24% O Г 14:50 Chapter 143 Sening Home sliding out of me and standing. He reaches his hands out to me and helps me up, pulling me against him again, wrapping his strong around me and leaning his head against mine. “I won’t be able to do this much longer. I had to shift my position while I was inside you. Our son is growing big and strong inside his mother’s belly.” “Yes, he’s very much like his father,” I say. He kisses my head. “And very much like his mother. He’s stolen my heart already.” I smile as he pulls back and crouches in front of me. “Right, Huntington? Your daddy’s little man already, aren’t you?” I run my fingers through his hair as he kisse’s my stomach, our son reacting to Hunter’s touch as he always does, pressing tight against my stomach right where Hunter’s face is. Shaw begins to purr softly, sending little vibrations into my stomach as I smile down at the most incredible man that has

even lived. Hunter looks up at me and grins. “Keep it up and we’ll never get home.” I laugh as he stands. “We’re close to the borders, but I want to get back, so I’m going to have Shaw carry you again.” “I love Shaw, and Hedda misses her mate,” I say as she pushes forward. Shaw does as well, and Hunter must let him push the shift. He carefully lifts onto his back paws, putting his front paws on my shoulders as begins to rub his scent all over my face, neck, and chest. I let Hedda stay forward, let her push against him, wanting to scent him the way he’s scenting us. 65.04% When he finishes, he jumps down, then lays down so I can get on his back. Before I do, I reach my arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. “I love you too, Shaw. You’re so brave and strong. Thank you for always protecting me and our pup.” Shaw begins purring again, turning to lick my face. ‘I will always protect you and our pups,’ he says in the mind link. “I know you will. You’re a good wolf and you’ll be just as good of a father as Hunter.” I get on his back, and we begin to make our way to the pack. When we arrive at the border, Shaw lifts his head and announces our return. All around the pack, wolves answer the call of their Alpha, and I feel peace fall over the pack. Their Alpha and Luna have returned, and the pack is feeling settled again now that we’re back safely.
