Chapter 22
The warehouse was quiet as she crouched down behind a pallet full of cement-mix bags. She had managed to find a way in through a rotten looking hole in the wall, that looked like it had been caused by storm damage. It hadn't quite been big enough and she had scraped a long line of skin off of her shoulder where she had caught it on a piece of protruding splintered wall panel. There was also a very strong possibility that said piece of panel had a few rusty nails sticking out of it, so a tetanus shot might be in order after this assignment was complete.
After a quick evaluation of her injuries, she concluded that it was just a scratch and there was nothing more she could do right now, but was hi

Izzie threw herself to the side, using the pallet to propel herself faster, but unfortunately, she wasn’t fast enough and a large paw crashed down on her ankle. Without hesitation she brought her other foot up into its jaw, taking it off guard and causing it to stumble slightly. She managed to pull her foot free in the few moments that it was stunned and was up and running... well, hobbling. Another loud growl behind her just a few seconds later told her that he’d recovered and was pissed.She didn't have much time.She drew her pistol as she ran, cursing at herself for not being prepared as she quickly stuffed the magazine in, her sweaty fingers slid unhelpfully as

The wolf had gone in for the killing blow, aiming for her throat. Thankfully Izzie had managed to flinch away, but not far enough as the wolf's teeth sank deep into her shoulder. Pain engulfed her as she felt the sickening crunch of bone beneath its powerful jaws.Her hands grasped wildly at its mouth, trying to prise it off of her but it only made it bite harder. The wolf started trying to shake its head, trying to tear the flesh away but she held on to it, not giving it the leverage it needed to do so. The pain in her shoulder was so intense that she could barely breathe and she started to feel the warm sticky puddle forming beneath her head as the wolf continued to try and maul her.

Izzie startled awake, breathing hard.She didn't know what had woken her as nothing was immediately apparent, maybe she had been having a nightmare.The lights were dimmed right down in her hospital room and it almost felt cosy waking up this time.She glanced at the clock only to see it was four in the morning.She had only been asleep for about an hour at best. Jake must have left once she managed to drop back off as she was now alone.

Those few days in hospital passed along all too quickly and it wasn't long before Izzie was making her way down to the reception to get discharged.She clutched the paper bag containing her pain meds and her discharge note from the doctor in her good hand, while her other was strapped tightly against her chest. The nurse had to help her get dressed in the clothes that Jake had dropped off for her the day previous. The sling was too bulky and padded for her to manage, though she was going to have to adapt and quickly as she had to stay strapped up for six weeks while the fractures in her shoulder healed.The clack of her boots against the floor was loud and confident as she walke
Beloved Huntress Chapter 27
Contrary to the nerves she felt stepping inside the house had been quite anti-climatic. It was dark and quiet inside, but everything looked pretty much the same as she'd left it, if not a little tidier. Cassius wasn't anywhere to be seen, which was relieving and alarming all at the same time. All the curtains in the house were drawn and all of them were blackout curtains so the only light that was coming in was coming down the walls underneath the curtains. The only sound to be heard was the low hum from the fridge in the kitchen.

Izzie's jaw dropped as a stranger strolled into her kitchen. The first thing to catch her eye was that tight grey T-shirt that seemed to cling onto every hard toned muscle but leaving just enough to the imagination. The stranger completed his casual-yet-sexy ensemble with the classic blue levis and a pair of somewhat worn sneakers. His dark hair was unruly and looked like he'd just stepped out of the shower, and his pale skin had a slight sheen to it that backed up that theory. Finally, her gaze met his and she immediately saw a spark of amusement within those grey eyes as he realised she was gawking. She felt herself blush a little, but couldn't pull her gaze away.This stranger looked like Cassius, but it couldn't be Cassi

Izzie stood in her kitchen, peering out of the window watching her driveway. She was expectantly waiting to see headlights appear among the trees. Jake was late. He was meant to be there by now. Where was he and why was she so anxious?

Izzie jolted awake, gasping as she sat upright. Her heart was beating wildly and she was covered in a thin sheen of sweat. What the hell just happened?
