The Alpha Prince And His Bride
Book 3 The Alpha’s Substitute Bride – Episode 32

~HUNTER~

I was angry, angrier with myself than I was with anyone else. I should have known this important detail about my sister. We were always inseparable, then why did she suddenly decide to keep something like this from me?

And why didn’t Isabella tell me this either? I always thought that she would be completely honest with me. I trusted her to be honest with me. I knew she held back this information from me but I didn’t know why; she even told me once that Esma was keeping something from me but I never once thought that it would be such crazy news.

My sister was the mate of one of those cold hearted creatures?

If I had known this I could have been prepared today for an attack from those sick Blackners. Instead, Isabella and my sister’s life were put at risk today. If the Blackners had wanted to do something to her today, they could have definitely done it. That fact only made me angrier.

Isabella’s eyes were tainted with the hurt she felt and it was like stabbing my chest with a dagger. I didn’t want to shout at her but I was so angry that I couldn’t control it.

It wasn’t the first time she’d done something to put her life in danger! She should have known that this was something important to tell me.

“Y-yes I did know but—”

“Clearly she didn’t think that you were important enough to share such information with. Neither your sister nor Isabella cared to tell you anything. You had to hear it from me first. I wish I had mentioned it earlier. Then you would have been more prepared for the Blackners breaking into your home.” Maggie cut in.

I wasn’t ready for her as yet either. She sent away my men in such a crucial time without asking me a single thing. I couldn’t even blame my men, they knew that I allowed my mate to give orders . . . But that was in the past. Now I allowed Isabella to give those orders. Though she never actually knew that fact.

Isabella turned to Maggie and narrowed her eyes. “This is a conversation between Hunter and me. Your invaluable input is not needed.”

I loved the way Isabella’s eyes flashed when she spoke and for a minute I almost forgot about my anger.

Maggie was furious at her now and I knew that if I didn’t get one of them out of here now, there would be a fight soon.

I grabbed Isabella’s hands and guided her up to our room. I could feel her body shaking with rage but thankfully she didn’t pull away from me.

As soon as we reached the door, she pushed it open and turned to face me with an angry glare.

“I can’t believe that you’re even listening to what she has to say about your sister and me!” Isabella shouted. “How could you even think that you aren’t important to us? Why would you think that we didn’t tell you unless we had a very good reason not to? Esma and I didn’t want to tell you anything about the Blackners because we were concerned about your own safety. We knew that they were dangerous and that you would want to start a war with them if you knew what they had done to her. We only kept it from you because we were worried for your own safety. Esma would have confessed the truth to you when she was comfortable to do so and when she thought that it was the right time. How can you not see that?”

I stopped stalking towards her, shocked by her confession. My body was so lost in rage that I never once considered this to be the reason as to why they’d kept something like this from me. Why would they worry for my well-being? I could take care of myself; they were the ones I needed to protect.

Suddenly a loud cry escaped Isabella’s mouth and she fell to the ground in pain. My eyes widened and I moved to rush to her side when realization dawned on me. I paused midway and the only movement in my body was the ticking of my jaw. Surely that wasn’t-

OH HELL NO!

This couldn’t be what I thought it was. I made an effort to walk forward when a great wave hit me and I stumbled backwards in shock. I’d never had to face a force so strong before. My head moved from side to side and a sweat built up on my forehead as I tried to stay focused.

Another cry echoed throughout the room and this time Isabella’s need hit me so hard that I almost fell over the railing.

MOTHERFUCKER—

I took a long stride into the room and staggered back against the door. I was reminded once more that I’d never been hit with anything so strong in my entire life. I was a warrior in battle; I took my opponents down with a swiftness that was often praised yet look at me now. I cowered from a woman . . . my woman.

“Hunter.” She croaked. “I don’t know what’s happening to me.”

Her voice was enough for me to gather all the strength I needed to reach her.

I rushed to her side and gently pulled her up with me. My hands burned where I touched her bare skin, her body was overheating and I needed to act fast. This burning was nothing like normal fire, no, this kind started from the inside and travelled to the outside.

I froze when she started to rotate her h**s against me. I hissed at the contact and tried to keep her h**s one place. I always had this problem with Isabella; she would move her body in such a way that brought out the monster in me.

“Isabella.” I g*****d.

“Please.” She cried as she bent her head backwards and gazed up at me with innocent but l**t filled eyes. I g*****d again. I couldn’t last long when she looked at me like that.

I cupped her face in my hands and tried to regain control of my body again. “Listen sweetheart, you’re going into heat and it’s not going to be easy.” I swallowed. “I can’t be the one to do this—”

I didn’t know how to finish that sentence. Her first time shouldn’t be like this. And I wasn’t sure if she wanted it to be with me. She should be treasured and worshiped and I was still so damn messed up in the head to be able to do that for her.

“I don’t want anyone else.” She cried. “I only want you. My body is in desperate need for you Hunter, please stop the ache inside of me.”

I growled and gripped her h**s roughly in my hands. Even though I wanted to do that more than anything else right now I still managed to push her body away from mine. Before she could say anything else, I stormed out of the room and slammed the door shut. I buried my head against it and tried to clear my head. If I was going to do this I needed to be in the right state of mind.

My h**s jerked forward with need, ready to provide for Isabella.

f**k, I was so desperate to release in her that my body was slipping out of control.

I heard Maggie’s footsteps coming up the stairs and I didn’t want to have to deal with her right now.

“What do you think you’re doing?” She asked when I moved to open the door.

“She’s in heat, isn’t she?” Maggie asked in disbelief. I couldn’t answer her; in fact, I could barely hear anything that she was saying to me right now.

Isabella’s m***s and sweet cries were enough to send me to my knees and beg for her to tell me how to ease her pain. I could still hear it even from out the door and it did just as much damage here as it would have done if I was inside the room.

I was losing my mind and my d**k was getting harder and bigger with each passing second.

“Why must you do it?” Maggie demanded. “There are so many of your other men around. Let one of them f**k her.”

“MAGGIE!” I roared. “Get the hell out of here before I do something I can’t take back. NOW!”

I was not about to let another man touch her. I would kill before I let that happen.

Maggie looked completely shocked at my words. She couldn’t believe that I’d spoken it to her. It was the first time I’d ever spoken to her in that tone of voice before. I’d basically threatened to hurt her as well.

I couldn’t think about any of that right now. All I wanted to do was to go to Isabella and bury myself deep inside of her.

Oh f**k!

Just the thought of it had my body spiraling out of control.

I stormed into the room once more and my eyes zeroed in on Isabella. She was in the middle of the bed and her position made me fall on the ground next to her. My entire body shuddered at the view of her spread legs on the bed. From here it was mighty easy to see her satin panties and I stumbled onto the bed when her need slammed straight into me.

I so badly wanted to stop and worship her body. I wanted to stare and examine every small part of her. Nothing should be missed. But I didn’t have time to do any of that. Not when Isabella’s need was awakening the beast inside of me.

I hissed when she gripped me between my legs. Damn it.

I couldn’t think clearly with her hand on me like that.

“Isabella,” I whispered. “Let go or I won’t be able to stop what I’m about to do next.”

“I can’t stop.” She cried. “I want you everywhere. I NEED YOU EVERYWHERE.”

I growled and ripped the clothes from he body until she was left with nothing but her panties. I did the same to my clothing until I was left naked in front of the woman I needed more than anything else in this world. Her eyes zeroed in between my legs and it only made my d**k grow harder than before. There was so much hunger in her gaze that I almost came with just looking at her watching me. Isabella lifted herself from on top of the bed and lunged for me.

“What are you-“

I stopped breathing the moment her mouth closed around my aching hardness.

HOLY s**t!

“Isabella.” I g*****d while holding onto the edge of the bed for support. I couldn’t trust myself to hold onto her hair at a time like this. I was already finding it so hard to hold completely still.

I knew that a woman in heat was something out of this world but damn it, Isabella would completely drain me and I’d still be following her around like a lost puppy and begging her for more after she was done.

I gripped her hair and pulled myself away from her greedy mouth. This wouldn’t do anything for her. I needed to bury my seed in her.

My eyes rolled back in my head at the thought of doing just that. I wanted to fill her up completely and it had absolutely nothing to do with her need but everything to do with mine.

“More.” She screamed. “Please Hunter, it hurts.”

I buried my head against her neck as I pushed her back up against the bed. “Shhh, it’s going to be okay. I won’t let anything bring you pain. Ever.”

I positioned myself between her legs and closed my eyes as my body started to tremble above hers. I didn’t know how I would possibly be able to survive this.

Isabella cried out the moment I entered her and I mumbled a few curses at the impact it had on me.

Her body stiffened under mine and I could almost feel her pain. I hated myself in this moment. I just told her that I’d never let anything bring her pain and I was doing just that. I wished that the first time didn’t have to be so painful for women. I wanted her pain instead.

I placed a k**s on her forehead and stopped moving. I needed to give her time to adjust to me. I hissed when she wrapped her legs around me and pushed me forward until I slammed all the way into her. Being inside Isabella was unlike any feeling I’d ever experienced in the past. She made me feel like I was on drugs, like I’d just had bottles of alcohol down my throat and still craving more.

All I could see and smell was her and if this was the way to die, I would gladly accept it.

Isabella moved her head from side to side. I growled when she gripped my hair roughly in her hands and started to pull on it. “Move, more. Move Hunter. Pound into me.”

Her words were enough to send me over the edge and before I knew it I was pounding in and out of her in a rough rhythm.

“f**k f**k f**k!” I roared as I buried my seed in her sweet sweet tight p***y.

I g*****d as our sweaty bodies came to a stop. Isabella’s loud breathing mingled with mine in the most beautiful way possible. I lifted my head and gazed down at her. Her lips were swollen and her cheeks flushed. She was the most gorgeous woman I’d ever had the pleasure of meeting. I gently moved some of the hair away from her face and opened my mouth to speak.

“Are you-

HELL . . .

It wasn’t over; Isabella was ready for me again. Her need barreled into me and I buried my head against her neck as I tried to regain control again. This time it was even stronger than before and our bodies moved on its own to find each other and join.

“Do you know how much I’ve dreamed of doing this to you Isabella?” I growled as I bit down on her lips until I tasted b***d. “How much I’ve wanted to bury my d**k in this sweet tight p***y.”

She cried out as I thrust into her again.

“Do you know how much you’ve tortured me while walking around in those tiny little dresses and short skirts?” I asked her as I slowly pulled out of her only to push back in harder than before.

“I’ve watched you and worshipped your body from afar every damn day since the first day I saw you.” I confessed.

Isabella m****d and clung to me like her life depended on it.

“Hunter . . .” She cried.

My eyes widened as a totally new desire coursed through my veins. I growled as my teeth elongated.

There was this strong need to mark Isabella and I was fighting for control. Her body arched against mine and I gripped onto her waist before pounding into her again. As I neared the climax my mouth moved closer and closer to her marking spot. I shook my head and managed to bite down into her shoulders instead. I sucked on her skin as I felt my seed empty into her.

This was far from over. In fact I could feel Isabella reach for me again and I was happy to give her what she needed. I would do anything for her . . . Anything. Even give my life.
