Savage Hunt by Jane knight

Chapter Fifty-Nine: One way to do it
*Jason.” I whispered, dropping down in front of him. I brought my hand up to the side of his head, scratching him beneath his ear.
I had never seen a wolf that was as big as him. He was so much bigger than Mira and Gabe when he was shifted. His fur was
soft beneath my fingers and he leaned his whole body into my touch. His warm scent filled my sense as he tucked himself closer
to me. “I’m glad you’re okay*
*That’s one way to get her scent on you.” Travis said, letting out a bark of laughter.
Jason let out a huff that was warm against my shoulder. I ran my fingers through his fur, holding him close, when my hand
caught on something soft. Pulling back, I shifted around so that I could figure out what was tied around his neck. They were the
shredded remains of my yoga pants from earlier.
“Alpha.” Travis said from behind us and I could hear the relief in his voice that Jason was with us.
“My pants?” I asked, sitting back on my heels and Travis moved closer to the two of us.
“He’s making sure he smells like you, sweets.”
The wolf-Jason dipped his head before taking several steps back away from me. He didn’t crouch down like Gabe had, but I
knew what was coming. It was like a tension filled the air, making the hairs on my arms raise. There was a popping sound and
his body contorted, but it was different from how it had been with Ryan and Gabe. His movements were smoother. It seemed like
they were more controlled.
“Ryan is back a few miles west of you guys. We’ve been running around trying to draw the few wolves out there on a bite of a
wild goose chase. It’s been working, but I don’t know how much longer it’ll fool them.”
“So your other mate is also an alpha?” Gabe asked, leaning his back against a tree as he watched the three of us together.
“Seems like you’ve got quite the collection. Are you sure there will be room enough for my brother?”
“More than enough,” I answered, pushing myself to stand. “This is still really new to me, but Gideon’s mine. Just like Ryan,
Travis, and Jason are, I, I couldn’t imagine being without them.”
“Good.”

Jason stood to his full height, untangling my yoga pants from around his neck. A yelp sounded out and both Jason and Travis
looked towards the sound.
“Ryan.” Travis whispered, stepping forward before his head whipped around and he looked over at me.
“Go, I’ve got Tillie.” Jason told him and Travis nodded. Toeing off his shoes and shoving his jeans off before he stepped out of his
clothing. It was barely a blink of an eye, and he had shifted into a dark brown wolf. His fur was much shorter and sleeker than
Jason’s but he was still just as pretty from the glimpses that I caught of him streaking off into the trees.
“Will Ryan be okay?” I asked, worrying my lower lip. Everything inside of me had gone strangely quiet and I felt alone for the first
time since
Jason, Travis, and Ryan had claimed me. I didn’t like this feeling and it made me worry even more than I had been before.
They were in danger because of me. If anything happened to Ryan, would my mates be able to forgive me? Would I be able to
forgive myself?
“He’ll be okay.” Jason said, but I had a hard time believing him. “They are both stronger than you think. Your dad called alpha
Branson.”
“Scott did?” I asked, looking down at the ground before looking up again. “Is he still upset?”
“Yeah, but I don’t think he was prepared for what he walked in on or for you to stand up for yourself the way you did.” Jason
walked over to the clothing that Travis had left on the ground. He picked up the jeans, pulling them on and clasped the buttons
into place. They were a touch too big, but they covered up his nakedness.
“What happened between him and the other alpha?”
“Branson tried to call off the hunt to keep peace with your dad. Most of the wolves out here pulled back when Branson sent out
his call. A few didn’t come back at his order.” Jason said, his brows knitting together.
“Gideon?” I asked, looking over at his brother. He shook his head before looking off into the distance and I followed his gaze,
trying to see what he was looking at.
“He’s close.”

“Where is he?” I asked and Gabe closed his eyes for a long moment before opening them again. He pushed away from the tree
and moved

forward. I didn’t understand. If the hunt was called off why didn’t he go back?
“This way.” He called out and I hurried to follow him, with Jason moving close behind me.
“Just because he called off the hunt doesn’t mean we’re out of danger, Tillie. Or that Gideon is, from what I’ve learned, there is a
wolf in Branson’s pack who Branson thinks is getting ready to challenge him as alpha.” Jason said as we walked past thick trees.
“Jamison, Gabe told us about him. It’s just the sooner we get to him, the quicker this will be over and then we can go home.” I
reached back, taking his hand in mine. “Together.”
His thumb brushed over the back of my knuckles and he nodded. But it didn’t look like what I said did anything to ease the
tension in his brow. Was there something about this that Jason wasn’t telling me?
After a few long moments, Gabe came to a stop. He stood still for a second before letting out a growl and darting forward.
“Brother.”
I ran to try and keep up with him, but it was no use. Jason let go of my hand and moved forward, running in front of me. I pushed
myself faster, trying to keep up with the both of them. My lungs started to burn and I could hear shouting and growls in the
distance. A feeling of dread spread over me. I heard a sharp yelp and then a roar that shook everything around me and made my
blood run cold.
