Chapter 19 Unexpected Jealousy

Chapter 19: Unexpected Jealousy Hunter

As soon as I'm far enough away to get control of my desire, I turn back, making sure that Sophie gets inside the walls of the hideout.

F**k! That woman tastes better than she smells. I knew the mate bond was strong, but this...this is far beyond anything I could have anticipated. It's taking everything in me to hold Shaw at bay and keep from marking her. I want her agreement first. I want to know that she is choosing me as her mate.

I turn, running toward the front of the hideout.

'She hasn't rejected us again. Now that we know her real name, she could have and it would have been much more effective,' Shaw says.

'True. Hopefully, she'll use this time to think about what I've said. I feel like I was getting through to her,' I say as we make our way around the mountain.

I intend to cut straight across the forest and run home again, but I catch Kinsley's scent and pull up short. Shaw lifts our nose in the air and begins tracking her scent. I find her halfway between the parking lot and the hideout.

"Hey Alpha," she says, looking behind me. "Lucas said you came looking for someone. You've been gone all day, so I decided to bring the food out here, in case any new she-wolves arrive." Chapter 19: Unexpected Jealousy

I shift and stand, looking around and sniffing the air.

"You shouldn't be out here alone at night, Kinsley. Not all of these Alphas that are on the hunt will stop to see that you're already marked before trying to take you." 288 Wouchers

"I know. Lucas wasn't thrilled about me coming out here, so he's waiting by the car. I told him I'd howl if I needed help. So...did you find who you were looking for?"

"I did. She's in the hideout. We've...talked. I'm hoping she'll let me mark her."

She looks at me a moment, a slow smile spreading across her face. "You found your mate?"

I nod.

"You're a good man, Alpha Hunter."

"Come on, I'll introduce you," I say.

She raises an eyebrow. "You want to introduce me to your mate?"

"Yeah. I told her about you. Maybe you can put in a good word for me," I say.

She smiles at that and nods. "Anything I can do to help."

I take the food and follow her to the entrance. We both stop and lift our noses in the air, making sure there aren't any Alphas or other ranked wolves in the area before she ducks inside.

I carefully make my way through the narrow walls behind her. Having done this several times already, I have a better idea of
