Chapter Sixteen

After a grueling day dealing with a bunch of bureaucratic assholes, Hunter could not wait to get home.

All day long, his inner beast had been pacing. Pissed off and missing his mate, his Tiger had threatened to make more than one appearance in the office. Finally, upon arriving home to find his sexy mate in the kitchen, Hunter had felt a pang of need so forceful, he had no choice but to give in.

He'd expected to find her sulking or angry that he’d been gone so long. It hadn’t been his intention to stay away, but the entire Pride depended on his ability to take care of them.

They were reluctant to sign papers when they did not believe he could hold on to his Pride.
