All Chapters of Wild Hunter, Wild Husband: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I swallowed hard when my eyes fell on the man on the far left. I recognized him immediately, even if I couldn't see his face. But the Hunter drawings, stature, and posture gave him away."Then let's see who we have here," I heard from next to me and my companion took a step forward.-----

"Okay, okay, that's enough, Riley." Laughing, Aljona released herself from my grip and sank to the floor. I had just defeated her for the first time in hand-to-hand combat, after she had shown me the holds that were used to defend against a superior attacker. We'd been training outside in the field since the early hours of the morning, but I still hadn't used up all of my energy. And that's what I had to do if I didn't want to use it elsewhere. Like brooding myself into insanit

I would have loved to ask about Nikk and the other hunters; would have asked Lex what was done to them and what else was going to happen to them. But I swallowed this urge with difficulty. Even if he seemed to trust me a little again, I had to develop the relationship between us before I could ask him questions of this kind. Otherwise he would draw different conclusions from it. Correct conclusions. That I was concerned about the prisoners' welfare, not just curious. And I didn't want that. I wanted him to trust me and believe that I was against the Hunter and completely on his side - so that he would let me in on his plans. Told me to the smallest detail what was going on here, what he was still up to.

Push-ups, squats, training with small dumbbells - I had taken Aljona's words to heart in order to build up my muscles precisely, and I occupied myself with them extensively over the next few days. "You are really hardworking," said my father when he entered the tent and saw me on the ground.

After breakfast I met Aljona outside in the field. This time some men from the camp were with us, because Aljona wanted to make my other training a little more difficult and thus also increase it. I was doing pretty well against her now, so she now increased the level of difficulty. When I was actually supposed to compete against one of the huge guys in a duel, something stirred inside me. I wanted to fight him. I wanted to test my limits on him. An

When my father came to me in the evening and told me that Lex now had time for me, I had composed myself. I was ready because I had no other choice.Lex did not greet me with the smile he usually gave me, but with a serious expression. After my father left us alone, I sat down on the sofa and looked at him just as seriously.

“Exactly. It was hard to beat in cruelty what was going on in the world back then. Many people saw the wars coming and warned about them, but the masses couldn't believe it. In many countries there were highly educated and enlightened people, but they were vain and did not think it possible that there would actually be a war in their civilized midst. They thought they were safe ... And eventually most of them lost their lives when it escalated and suddenly the atomic bombs went off. Meanwhile, the privileged in the empire stood behind the safe walls and watched the spectacle calmly. The radiation left by the bombs is still so high in many places today that human life is hardly possible there. Most of the ri

Then I went to Lex, who was waiting for me in his office. He received me with a benevolent smile that I did not return. If I was too relaxed and calm, he would certainly be suspicious. No, some natural emotions about the upcoming meeting couldn't be wrong."Are you ready, Riley?" Lex asked, walking over to me.

What have I done ...I felt a hand on my shoulder and winced.“Riley.” Lex's voice pulled me out of the muffled vortex of guilt I was in.

I blinked and rolled my head from side to side. Much too bright light blinded me and I closed my eyes with pained mouth."Little one?"Confused, I opened it again and saw my father's face above me. "Father? What happened?"
