Mates of a Werewolf Hunter
Chapter 40 Wrong Move

Valentine Winters P.O.V

I pulled away from him. Looking into his blue eyes, searching for any tints of lies. Is he just saying it in the heat of the moment ?

“It’s true.” He groaned a frown forming on his pink lips in dissatisfaction; discontent.

Wrapping my legs tightly around his waist, he placed his hands down my butt before carrying me up and sitting me down softly on the bed.

I unwrap myself from around him and sat down crossed legged.

He bend down giving me one last peck on my left cheek making a blush to appear and started pacing slowly in my room.

“How does this work though ?” He asked after a few seconds.

I raised an eyebrow confused in what was the question he was referring to.

“Me ? I can’t give you everything. It’s best you stay here where you’re safe.” He stated.

“Y-you’re p-part o-of the pack. Rightful A-alpha I-in the throne.” I answered.

“And if I refuse ?” He questioned.

“The pack won’t h-have a n-new leader.” I stated sadly looking down on the ground.

He neared towards me. “Don’t be like that. It’s just, I don’t know anything about leading a pack, be rational Val.” He reasoned.

“Why can’t Gabriel lead the pack then ?” He enquired.

" He can’t. He’s not from this pack.” I responded.

“Right..” He drawled out.

“My dad can help you.” I said softly after thinking for a while.

He can help train him to be an alpha. It will be a long process but it needs to be done for the sake of the pack.

“Your dad ?” He asked unsure of my idea.

I nodded slowly.

He sighed.

He took my right hand in his and led me out the door.

Where is he bringing me ?

He walked down the stairs and I saw my dad ordering some of the wolves to patrol over the night.

He then turned around and looked towards us, snarling in disapproval at the sight of Lucifer holding my hand that only made his grip tighten on purpose.

“What is it ?” My dad growled. Eyes already flickering to jet black.

“I’m staying with her.” Lucifer stated.

My dad chuckled sarcastically. “Why ? So you can wound her further?”

“I’ll never-” Lucifer started.

“Please, there’s proof on her body.” He exclaimed.

“I’ve changed.” Lucifer told.

" How can I be sure ? If anything you’d want to be Alpha so you can easily take the whole pack down.” My dad confronted.

“I keep my word.” He promised.

“Have you really now?” My dad interrogated.

“Yes, I always have.” Lucifer voiced.

“How bout with my daughter? Have you kept the word in being a husband toward her ?” He questioned.

“That’s different!” Lucifer uttered.

“Have you been the mate for her?” My father continued.

“I will now.” Lucifer said.

“Have you ever stopped from getting her hurt ? You’re a failure and I have no use for cowards.” My dad hurled in abhorrence.

That ticked Lucifer off.

He let go of my hand, fur sprouting over his once tan skin as his canines elongated showing and claws start to appear of his fingers.

“Lucifer-” I tried.

“Leave him.” My father ordered already starting to transform to his wolf.

“No stop! I don’t want a-any fights! P-Please!” I begged coming in between them as they circled each other in a predatory way half wolf half man.

“Would you look after her ?” My dad questioned.

“Yes.” Lucifer admitted.

“The pack ?” My dad proceeded.

“I’ll try.” Lucifer exclaimed.

“Her safety ?” My father continued.

“Comes first.” Lucifer declared.

“Is that a promise ?” My father asked.

“It is.” Lucifer growled out.

My mom came outraged by the scene in front of her.

“Nathaniel! Stop this madness. You know he can’t win.” My mom shouted bewildered.

“Stay out of this!” He hissed at her showing whose in charge.

“I said stop!” She challenged again and my dad shifted fully man glaring at my mother.

“Give him a chance.” She suggested.

“No! You know what he did to our-“ My dad started.

“I know. But there is good in bad. He’s here for her now. Let them be.” She begged.

“But-” My dad tried.

“Please.” She pleaded.

My dad sighed.

He put his hand up. “Fine. I’m gonna test you. You’d train, eat, speak, do everything we do now and once I have the thought to trust you, you win and if not ? Well let’s see then shall we ?” He said before continuing.

“Training starts tomorrow, don’t be late.” He sneered.

Lucifer nodded altering back to himself.

“One more thing, separate rooms.” He stated.

Now this will be more torture.

I was back in my room and Lucifer was escorted to his. His training starts tomorrow and I know my dad makes sure he’s been giving a hard time on him.

I hope my heat will be over soon.

Sadly I don’t think it will be.

Lucifer Zades P.O.V

Here I am listening to an old wolf man orders. Never have I thought I would come to this. He dare challenges me?

Will see to it tomorrow then.

I woke up or should I say waken up by cold water being splashed on me. It was just six in the morning yet I have been summoned by my father in law.

There were some people who brought me a few pair of clothes and towel and some useful things I need in for daily uses.

I took a short hot shower before wearing a white beater and pants. I went down to see him standing outside in the woods with two other guys behind him.

When I look closely it was Octavius and Zachary. Hands behind their back and legs apart like a soldier.

Cliche.

I replace that over-dramatic.

“First off, you’re gonna go hunt. Don’t catch anything ? No food for you the whole day.”

I raised an eyebrow confused.

Hunt ?

With no guns ?

I was just waiting them for them to give me a weapon, a tool or something.

“What are you still waiting for ? Go.” He shooed.

“I don’t have anything, at least a bow and an arrow would suffice.” I reasoned.

“No! Like I said, think like a wolf not a hunter.” He snarled.

I grunted and started sprinting through the woods. I don’t even see anything to hunt. If I hunt down a tree does that count ?

Birds are there but hey look I don’t gave a gun, why can’t wolves fly ? Right. They don’t have wings.

It’s been almost 5 hours and I’m just going around in circles. I don’t see any alive prey nor even dead around.

I sighed as I came to an abrupt stop right in front of the pack house. I ran my fingers through my hair as I saw my dear old father in law nearing toward me as he searched for something to be with me.

“Where’s your hunt ?” He questioned with a mischievous smile forming on his face.

“There’s nothing to hunt.” I answered.

“Pity. You don’t hunt, you don’t eat. Stay outside.” He ordered like I’m his personal slave pet dog.

Is he serious ?

I grunted and before I could retort anything he held his hand up to shush me.

I sighed furiously as I sat down on the porch. My stomach was growling in need for food.

Fuck! I was hungry for gods sake.

I crossed my arms over my chest.

I couldn’t help but let my thought wonder when I left Valentine food less for three days. Just by starving for less than a day is hard, how would have she felt for starving for three days?

I groaned pulling on my hair.

What an asshole was I ?

It was late in the evening and I was at least excused to be in my room.

Thank the lord.

I cleaned myself up and threw on some new clothes before crawling on the bed. Jeez, I’m ravenously hungry.

Whats Valentine doing now ? My wolf was yearning for me to go check on her. Would I be a sissy to say even I miss her presence too ?

I thought about it for a while before taking the risk to just go and see her.

I walked over to the door and twisted the doorknob slowly. Having it click shut quietly behind me and was on my way to her room.

Well my journey was short lived when Zachary stood there arms crossed over his chest as he looked at me amused giving me a questioning look.

“You’ve got to be kidding me, not even able to see my own mate ? That’s a bit over the line don’t you think ?” I asked knitting my eyebrows together.

This was completely unfair.

“Orders are orders.” He simply replied.

“Look whose overly loyal.” I teased.

“At least one of us are.” He snickered sarcastically.

Before I could give him a piece of my mind to him, a short girl came in between us. “Zachy! Don’t agitate him!” She warned and walked towards Zachary, punching his bicep making him roll his eyes.

“Zachy ? ” I asked with a slight smirk etched on my lips.

“Thanks for publishing my nickname little sis” He sneered at her playfully.

“Blah, Blah, Blah.” She threw her hands up in the air and smacked him in the butt hard before running away having me gob smacked.

“Zoe!” He screeched.

“You’re so dead after the duty!” He hollered out at her still standing on the same stop.

She literally just spanked his ass and he’s okay with that ? Doesn’t she need any punishment for it ?

What’s with this sibling playfulness ? Guess being born as the only child makes a man mature.

‘You have younger brother.’ My wolf countered.

“Half.” I retorted.

‘He’s still your brother.’ He stated.

Whatever but I’m one hundred percent sure we won’t get as close or playful as they are.

That’s just so immature.

“You’re still here ?” Zachary asked pulling me out of my thoughts.

“You’re still there ?” I asked with the same tone as his before going back to my room and shutting the door hard.

I returned back to the position I was on my bed and sighed before pulling the covers over me.

Why are these people so weird ? Pfft. Wolves.

I heard my wolf growl in offence.

What’s with the relationship between Zachary and his sister? What’s her name again ? Zoe ?

I sighed and closed my eyes letting sleep to drift me into oblivion.

I was again awoken by a pile of cold water.

I glared at the guy. Is this gonna become his everyday routine ? It might be fun for him but it’s sure as hell ain’t working out for me. It’s been three weeks and it has been the same treatment I’ve been getting every single day.

To make it more worse, I wasn’t even able to touch my mate but only see her from afar until her heat is completely over and thankfully it will be in a few more days.

The trainings has been harsh day by day, It has never been pleasing for once.

I got off from the bed wet and with a new found speed pinned him onto the wall with my right hand wrapped around his neck.

Resulting little space for his windpipe and crushing his oesophagus. He looked at me with vexation as he tried to release my grip on him.

“A tap wouldn’t hurt would it ?” I asked as I could feel my wolf surfacing.

“N-no m-mercy f-for m-mutts r-rogue.” He let out. My wolf went rigid with him calling us mutt and rogue. He felt like his mighty reputation has been crushed and he lusted for respect and submission.

I could feel my nails sharpen and canines elongate ready to sink into his flesh as he tried not to show any fear but failed miserably.

Before I could even do so, a few members busted open the door and pulled me away from him making me lose my grasp and he sucked in oxygen immediately with watery eyes.

Mind link. How could I have been blinded over that ?

As they tried to tie me down and submit, my wolf was becoming restless. He tried to gain control over my body fully for the second time as I tried to control him from overpowering my strength.

I groaned out and grunted as I had my knees on the ground, those members restraining my frame. The guy that I previously chocked came in front of my vision before he punched me hard making my face turned to another direction and a crack to be heard on my jaw.

Soon enough the pain started making its presence known.

Does this kid want a death wish ?

I still held myself together and not let my wolf fully consume me but with another punch on my face, I knew I was long gone.

My wolf took over.

Again.

Hunter Leto P.O.V

Once I took over Lucifers body, I kept my head down keeping my eyes on the ground with a stoic expression and kept my body stiff. My breathing was getting heavy as I was regaining my strength.

“Bowing already mutt? You’re not fit to be Alpha of this pack.” The one in front of me spit out.

I turned my head up glaring right into his eyes so fast I could’ve snapped my neck. I bet now my eyes should’ve gave out that I was in charge as my pupils would have dilated black all over my eyes even consuming the white areas.

I gave out a smirk as I looked at him shaking my head.

“You’re making trouble boy” I said before continuing. “Very big trouble.”

He huffed.

“Now.” I said getting back up to my feet even though they were trying to held me down. I snickered inwardly; pathetic. I could see confusion written all over on their faces.

My human may be enervated from not having much experience on wolf training but I was already born gifted with the ability. Perks of being first born and having Alpha blood.

I looked at the man that punched my human, towering over his figure as he was less than an inch shorter but was still shorter than me.

“Run before I count to three” I warned.

Mercy.

Leniency.

Clemency.

I chanted in my head.

Fine, give some magnanimity.

I was fully regenerating back and healing.

They all stood their ground.

Bold I must say.

But entirely stupid.

“One” I started looking down at the ground again regaining my composure and they laughed thinking as if this was a jest. I rolled my shoulders slowly trying to fight of their hold on me while growing out my claws and letting them get sharpen but these idiots were far too oblivious to what’s happening.

More advantage and benefit for me then.

“Two” I continued, my canines elongated as they started to sharpen too. They still didn’t leave the room but nevertheless the one in front of me did take a step back.

Coward.

“Three.” I finished.

I snapped my head towards his direction and smirked.

“Wrong move.”
