Savage Hunt

Chapter 100

Chapter One Hundred: The Hunt begins

| shifted, popping sounds filled the air as bones cracked and my muscles and tendons moved back into place. Travis smiled at me from the porch, he had pulled on a white t-shirt. His dark hair was brushed back from his face, neatly into place. Three water bottles were in his arms, the condensation dripping onto his tattooed skin.

My mark showed on his throat and I swallowed hard. He was mine.

Walking up the wooden steps to the pack house, I smiled at him. “Did you get the sheets done?”

There was a popping and cracking sound behind me as Jason and Aaron shifted into their human forms. Travis looked away from me, his eyes traveling over Jason’s body with a hungry expression.

Stepping closer to my other mate, I pressed my body against his. “Brat, you didn’t answer my question.”

His bright green eyes moved back to me and his lips twitched as he tried to keep from grinning. “The sheets are all done, daddy. I picked up the clothing and started anoth er load in the wash. The bathroom is all tidy now, too.”

“Good, I’ll have to reward you later.” | growled and his body shook. Smirking, I turned away from him and made my way over to the clothing that I had left on the front porch. Pulling on my jeans, 1 buttoned them up before grabbing my shirt and pulling it on.

I didn’t bother with the buttons, after a run like that. I needed a shower, I couldn’t go to see Tillie smelling like sweat and the forest. It would have my beast too on edge after thinking about chasing her or watching the others chase her.

Travis held out a water for me and I took it from him, our fingers brushing against each other. Sparks moved along my skin and this time, I was the one who shook.

“Thanks,” I said, pulling the water bottle back and twist ing the lid off. Lifting the water bottle to my lips, I took a long pull from the plastic bottle. Aaron jogged up the steps, taking a water bottle from Travis. He had pulled on his shorts but hadn’t bothered with anything else.

“Congrats on the mating thing.” He said, motioning be tween the two of us as he cracked open the water bottle and took a long drink. “I don’t just mean with both of you, but with Tillie, too.”

“Same to you, man,” I said, looking at the mark on his neck. “Seems like last night was a good one for all of us.”

“Sure was, though you did fuck up our set.” He chuck led and I couldn’t help but shake my head.

“Sorry about that, you should blame Travis, though. He had our mate up in his office.” | shrugged, looking over at Travis and he shot me a sly grin.

“I regret nothing.”

Jason came up the steps to take a water from Travis. He was fully dressed and looking just as handsome as he normally did. His blonde hair fell around his face in tousled waves that looked soft to the touch. “That was a good run. Thank you, guys.”

“Anytime you want to run, alpha. You know I’m game.” Aaron said, lifting his water bottle with a salute.

“Next time you should join us, Travis.” He said, but his tone had changed. Slipping into that almost commanding purr.

I could hear Travis’ heart beat faster. His tongue moved over his lower lip and he looked down at the floor before looking up at Jason again. “That’s not all I could join you for, sir.”

“Okay, so that’s a thing?” Aaron asked and I nodded.

“We’re still figuring things out with each other and our mate.” I said, finishing off my water and crushing the bottle.

“That’s cool, unexpected. But cool.” Aaron was just as stoic as ever. It was like he saved all of his emotions for the stage. That worked for us, but it made me worry about him. I just hoped that he could communicate with Charity better than we had been with Tillie.

The three of us chatted for a bit before Aaron’s cell phone chimed with a message. He moved over to his shoes and shirt that sat beside the porch. Picking up his phone, he walked up the steps to us, his thumb swiping over the screen.

“It’s a text from Charity.” He said, his brows knitting to gether as he looked at the screen. His adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. His hand moved up to pull at the dark brown strands of his thick hair before he looked at us. “She said Tillie’s running and she’s worried that she might not come back.”

“She’s running?” Travis asked and I looked over at him. There was an excited gleam in his eyes as he shifted from foot to foot.

“Yeah,” Aaron said, looking up from the screen. “Chari ty‘s worried. She said that Tillie was going to-”

“No, don’t tell us,” Jason said, holding up his hand. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

There was a calculating look in his eyes as he looked from Travis to me. “We’ll give her a head start and it’s better if we don’t know. It will make the hunt more interesting.”

“We‘re hunting her?” Travis bounced on the balls of his feet, sharp teeth peeked out from behind his lips and I felt excitement thrum through my veins. Feeding into what my wolf was feeling.

“Yes, we are hunting our mate.” Jason answered and I nodded.

There was just one thing that Tillie had forgotten about us. We were wolves and wolves loved the chase, the hunt. We were going to hunt her down and when we caught her, we were never going to let her go…
