When we got back to the house, we explained to everyone that everything is sorted and that I accepted everyone.

I'm Ryder's mate.

I'm Ryder's mate.

That's pretty much all I've been thinking the past ten minutes.

"I second that." Bailey says, pulling me up.

The guys are somewhere in the house, I have no idea where though, this house is huge!

"We'll be back before the guys even know." Layla says.

"Before we know what?" Trent says, we look to side, where Trent, Ryder and Josh are standing with their arms crossed over their chests.

"Run!" I scream and I grab Bailey as we scurry out of the house. As we run to the forest, I hear the guys running after us.

Bailey shifts into her wolf first, it's a light brown colour with white socks of fur on it's paws.

Layla shifts next into a darker wolf, when her fur hits the sunlight, it shows a more bronze colour.

Then Mandy shifts into a fully dark brown wolf.

Just as I'm about to shift, a hand pulls me back in a hard chest. Bailey, Layla and Mandy stop a little into the forest. I'm near the edge, so close.

I'm still facing the girls, so I smirk and do a little spin, which rolls me out of Ryder's hold and positions me behind the guys. They turn, surprised so that they're backs are facing the forest.

I smirk, "Good try."

And then I quickly crouch and push of the ground, shifting into my tiger mid-air. I jump over the guys and catch a tree branch with my paws, pulling me up.

Mandy howls, mostly in laughter and then I jump down and we bolt. I hear shedding of clothes as the guys change as well.

We come to a clearing and a large lake, which blocks us off from running any further.

We turn and the guys emerge from the forest, now in their human form and wearing some basketball shorts.

Only basketball shorts. And to say I wasn't drooling at the sight of Ryder would be a complete lie.

"Come on girls, you're out. shift back." Ryder crosses his arms over his chest.

The girls growl, but go to the side of the clearing to shift back.

I, on the other hand, approach the guys.

"Um, Ryder. What is she doing?" Josh asks, looking a little scared.

But Ryder stays unfazed, smirking at me.

I shift back and pout at Josh.

"Joshy, why would you think I would do anything to you?" I ask.

He scoffs, "You wouldn't do anything to me."

I just smirk at him, causing him to gulp.

The girls reappear, wearing shorts and tank tops.

"Where did you get the clothes from?" I ask.

"We hid heaps of clothes all over the forest. That way we're prepared when we need to shift quickly." Bailey answers.

"Smart move." I nod.

But then I'm airborne and thrown over someones shoulder.

"Ryder! Put me down!" I yell, hitting his back.

I look over and see Layla screaming over Trent's shoulder and Josh has both Bailey and Mandy over his.

"No can do babe. You can't just go running off like that." Ryder answers.

I just huff and let him take me.


•Unknowns POV•

"Where's Ryan?" I demand into the phone.

"He's coming right over." Daniel answers.

I don't bother about saying goodbye, I just hang up.

It's been a week since I've seen that tiger. A whole week.

Surely it couldn't have gone that far in that long.

A knock comes from my door.

"Come in." I say.

Ryan opens the door and comes in.

"And where the bloody hell have you been all weekend?" I ask harshly.

He shrugs, "I went out of town to visit a friend."

I eye him suspiciously but let it go for now.

"I've asked some of the most well-trained hunters in the world to come join us." I say, as I type some things on my computer.

Ryan crosses his arms over his chest, "Why are you so determined to kill this thing?" He asks.

I give him a look and stand up, "You will be lead hunter soon Ryan, and when that time comes you need to be determined. When you see something you know you have to kill, you do it." I say.

Ryan just shakes his head.

I smirk at him, "One day son, you will be just like me."

He gives me a disgusted look, "No dad, I could never be like you. You are heartless and cruel. Ever since mum died you turned into a man I hardly even know anymore!" He spits.

"How dare you bring your mother into this conversation." I glare at him.

He just shakes his head and walks out, slamming the door.

I curse and punch the table.

I can kill this tiger.

I've done it once, I can do it again.

I think you could probably tell whose POV that last one was, but I put it as unknown just to spice things up a bit.
