Chasing the Huntress Chapter 18 - Following Umbridge's footsteps
There were apartments above the Chinese restaurant, which I thought were probably similar to my bachelor pad—one room and a bathroom. They couldn’t be much bigger since the building was small. I stopped before a door with 5B on it and knocked. Someone from within yelled to come in, so I opened the door. The entire room was dark except for what was illuminated by at least five monitors. The equipment Vic had seemed expensive, as did her setup. This looked like a hacker’s lair. The windows were painted black to prevent the sun from streaming inside. Vic had also soundproofed the walls with black panels. I thought it was more for her than the other building occupants because the person who greeted us was a tiny woman wearing a chunky and elaborate headset. “Ravenwood?” Vic looked over my shoulder and pointed her chin at Lukas. “Who’s the guy? I was told you’d come alone.” I squirmed a bit in place, and my back eventually sagged. I didn’t know why I had let Lukas tag along. Moral su
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 19 - Taking a day off
I casually walked over to Bea’s desk and sat down, waiting for her to return from the back office. Lukas was looking at the portraits in the waiting area and grumbled when I tried to shoo him outside. “Are you shy about being seen with me?” “No… well, yes. But no. It’s just… they’re like family. They’ll start asking questions about you. Please leave.” I asked as I got up and tried to push him out. Lukas chuckled, making his chest rumble, and he quickly sidestepped, engulfing me in his massive arms. “If that’s the case, they’ll love me. I mean… look at me,” Lukas said as he flashed me a perfect smile, then kissed my head. “What’s not to love?” I groaned but did nothing to stop him. I felt helpless in his strong arms, which, incidentally, I didn’t want to leave. After we attempted to get information from the bar, Lukas slept in his JEEP to watch if someone from the bar came looking for us. He hadn’t wanted to sleep in my apartment, and I felt it was because of what had happened th
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 20 - Running from a wolf and a cult
Lukas stood his ground and made a low growl deep within his chest. It sounded animalistic. I didn’t think any human could do that. I placed a worried hand on his back, and it was as though I was touching a brick wall. His muscles were stiff and taut, twitching under my fingertips. When the men stepped forward, Lukas bent his knees like he was about to pounce on prey. “What business do you have with her?” He called out to the group blocking our exit. “It’s no concern of yours, dog.” One man spat. They looked angry or perhaps irritated. They certainly did not look friendly. “Actually, her business is mine as well.” This was ridiculous. We didn’t even know why they were there. The men could have information about the Umbridge case. I tried to push Lukas out of the way to face them, but Lukas didn’t give me that opportunity. He just shoved me back and growled some more. Why was he acting like a fucking caveman? “Why, exactly, do I need to go with you?” I shouted from behind Lukas.
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 21 - Surprising help
I removed my sweater and looked at the injury on my right arm. It wasn’t just a graze—it passed through my skin and came out the other way, barely missing my bone. Jace had left to get a bowl of water and some clean bandages. I sat on a stool in Jace’s office on the second floor. My leg wouldn’t stop shaking from nervousness, so I examined the room, hoping it would change my mind. It had a bay window and allowed him to view what was happening below and on the same level. I had to admit I was a little embarrassed from the last time I had seen Jace and took the minutes he was away to calm my fluttering heart. We had kissed, and I didn’t even remember it… also, so much has happened since. I passed my sweater over the bullet holes to remove some of the crusted blood and saw it had scabbed. I frowned when I discovered that. It should have still been oozing. The wound was barely an hour old, and I had repeatedly moved my arms. The door to the office creaked, and Jace came inside with a
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 22 - Jealousy
Jace POV I closed the door to my office and turned off the lights. The situation with Max was becoming a nightmare, and one I feared I could not contain much longer from my father. She unknowingly stepped over the cover line and was now in the direct line of fire. Why did she prowl around the Umbridge case? I mean, what was her point? If Max uncovered more, the vampires in this city would order her capture or execution. Director Ventura had been breathing down my neck since he saw her here last week, and I was coming up short of excuses. I could always say I wanted her as a pet, but it would be hard to pretend with Max's hardshell exterior as they would see straight through her and know she wasn’t one. There was something peculiar about Max. Something I couldn’t quite put my finger on made her stand out from the humans. The other problem was that she had unearthed the fucking Noctua. My father would not be pleased to hear they were alive and operating within the city. I thought w
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 23 - Shower pleasure
After combing the house and earning myself a few side glances from Mrs. Dunkan, who had kept a watchful eye on my every coming and going, I stepped inside the shower. Up to now, Jace was still a mystery to me. I couldn’t find anything to give me insight into his life. Also, this house looked inhabited. It had a sterile feel, as though no one had really lived there since the purchase and renovations. I was getting a “staged” home vibe to entice future buyers. Regardless of whether it was staged, I had to hand it to Jace. The bathroom in this room was gorgeous. Floor-to-ceiling tiles with no shower entrance or window separations. I liked the open concept. The shower head was long and extensive and mimicked rain. There were two other showerheads on each side, and when I pushed a button, it shot a more substantial stream that massaged my aching back. Heck, I was never leaving this shower. Soon, steam filled the room and wrapped me in a warm cocoon. Mrs. Dunkan had not joked about gett
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 24 - I do what I please
I woke up to the sound of knocking. It was relentless, and I was already a grumpy morning person. I grumbled and turned away from the door but couldn’t roll over. Something was tied to my wrists against the bedpost. I pulled, but metal scraped my skin and forced me to open my eyes. What the… I was handcuffed to the bed! I twisted my arm and yanked harder, but the cuffs didn’t budge. A muscular arm snaked across my breasts, and soon my body was under Jace. “Morning, beautiful. Sorry about that. I must have forgotten to remove them before falling asleep.” My face became red as the memories surfaced from the night before. Jace had found the cuffs in my backpack and wanted to have fun. God. Why couldn’t the bed swallow me whole? The knocking on the door persisted, and Jace became annoyed. “What is it, Mrs. Dunkan?” “Sir, your father called and has requested your presence at the office. Should I tell him you’ll be late?” “Tell him I’m not coming in. I rather stay in bed.” Jace a
Chasing the Huntress Chapter 25 - A walk down memory lane
I checked the surrounding buildings, circled around my neighbourhood several times, and when I was convinced no one was around, I pulled the hood of my jacket over my head and marched to my VW Beetle. God, I had missed her! I looked to see if anything was amiss, and when I saw they had left it undisturbed, I climbed inside and started the engine. I wanted to find Lukas, but before that, I went straight to the orphanage that took me in all those years ago. They had to have some kind of record about me? That was back in the 90s, so I feared the paper files might have been damaged or moved. It was a risk I needed to take. I took the highway and left the city. The orphanage—the children’s home, I should rather say, was some thirty-odd minutes out of town. I spent the entire drive in silence, thinking of my time there. When I transitioned from one foster home to another, they would bring me to the children’s home until my accommodations were made. I remembered the director of the estab
