I woke up, keeping my eyes closed and nuzzled into the body next to me. I ran my hands over his chest and slowly raised my head to look at who was next to me in bed. My heart sank when I saw Lee. I ran a finger down his face, sighing. I slowly climbed out of bed, careful to not wake him up.

I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen and red. My nose was red and I could see where I had rubbed the skin off of it clearly. I closed my eyes and a vision of Falcon smiling at me flashed before my eyes. I clutched the edge of the sink and pressed my forehead against the mirror.

A small sob escaped me and wrapped my arms around my waist. I rocked myself back and forth as I tried to curb the pain of knowing that I would never see him look at me like that again. I took a deep breath. I needed to go for a run. I needed… my eyes opened. I needed to get out of the town. I needed to go find Falcon. Somebody knew where he was. I had to be close to him ag

  • Hunting Her Hunters   Bonus Chapter 3: Annie and Gerald

    Minor Trigger WarningGerald“DADDDY! DADDDY! WHERE ARE YOU?” Annie screamed as she ran down the hallway, crying.I jumped to my feet and rushed out of the room. “Annie? What’s wrong?”She waved some papers in the air. “Gerry, look.”She handed me the crumpled papers, and I smoothed them out so I could look at them. I relaxed when I saw the simple math problems on it. I smiled at her.“Do you need help?”She nodded, wiping her nose. I winked at her.“Go get the jelly beans.”She grinned before dashing down the stairs. I went back into my room to prepare for when she got back. I smiled at her when she ran back in, panting and holding up a bag of jelly beans.“I got them. Osprey was trying to eat them. He-”“ANNIE! IF YOU DON’T GIVE THOSE BACK TO ME!” he yelled as he stomped up the stairs.She ran behind me, burying her face in my back. I tensed as I prepared for the hurricane that was our brother. He growled at me as he entered.“Did you tell her to steal my candy!”“No. I was going to

  • Hunting Her Hunters   Bonus Chapter 2: Toya and Hannah

    ToyaI smiled at Hannah as Mom and Grandma got us ready. Tonight our daddies were going to go with us to the daddy-daughter dance and we were so excited. Elena and Priscilla had already gone to their dance with their daddies. It was our turn now. I twirled in front of the mirror and giggled when my pretty blue dress flared out around me. I quickly sat down, laughing harder when it created a poofy ball around me.“I love my dress, Mommy!”She dipped her finger into the gel and added some more to the skin between my braids to force stray hairs to behave. She smiled at me.“You are such a little princess, baby. You both are.”I stood next to Hannah, frowning as I looked at our reflections. Her skin was so much paler than mine and our classmates had teased me a lot, saying that we couldn’t be siblings. My eyes filled with tears as I turned back to my mother.“Mom, why do we have to look so different?”She squatted next to me. “What do you mean, sweetie?”“Osprey, Gerald, Scila, Lena, Anni

    ElenaI threw the door to Annie and Hannah’s room open. I grinned at them.“I have a cookie for the one that irritates Osprey and Gerald the most.”Annie giggled and shoved Hanna. “That cookie is mine.”Hannah eyed me. “What kind of cookie?”Toya poked her head from around my back before hiding back behind me. “It’s caramel chocolate chip,” she whispered.Priscilla bounced into the room. “I want in but I don’t need the cookie. I’ll do it for free.”I giggled as I high-fived her. “I knew you were my favorite.”I ushered Toya inside before scanning the hallway for our brothers. “I know you have a plan, Scilla. Spill.”Her face split open into a huge evil smile. “Aunt Scarlett is coming over. I say we use her.”My eyes twinkled at her. “Why you little conniving rat! I love it! So what do we do?”She turned to look at Annie and Hannah. “I think we stuff them with sugar and then have our dads rile them up. When they have to vomit, I say we have them go vomit on the boys. It’ll embarrass hi

    Epilogue (One year later)ScarlettI smiled when Osprey flung the door open. I held up the plate of peanut butter cookies I had made with him in mind.“I made cookies for dessert,” I murmured, looking down at the ground.He took the plate from me and his hands slid over mine. My eyes shot up to his and he smiled at me. My heart started pounding and my tummy fluttered.“Thank you. Mom made lasagna.”He turned around and I followed him into the house while Aunt Tasha stepped out onto the porch to speak to my parents. We went into the dining room and I glanced around.“Where are your siblings?” I asked.“Out hunting with our fathers.”I played with the tablecloth. “Why didn’t you go?”“I wanted to be here when you got here.”My face heated and I couldn’t help but smile. “You could have gone hunting.”He unwrapped the plate and handed me a cookie. “I did hunt earlier.”I nervously tucked my hair behind my ear. “So, you’re not hungry?”“I am. Would you like a plate? I’ll make you one.”I t

  • Hunting Her Hunters   Going For The Record

    Tasha (2 years later)I smiled at Mona over Falcon’s shoulder as he signed their father’s house over to her. It hadn’t taken much to convince him to do it since he was rarely there anymore anyway. He had moved all his things to Timothy’s house years ago and the sleuth had fully taken over his house in the city under Mona’s watchful eyes. His abilities as alpha had only grown with the other men by his side and now the sleuth was even more prosperous.Mona rushed around the table to hug me.“Thank you, Tasha.”I squeezed her tight. “I didn’t do anything.”“Pfft. I know he would have never given up Dad’s house without you asking him to.”I laughed, patting her back as I met her brother’s eyes. “You give me too much credit.”“I don’t but we can pretend I do.”Falcon took my hand and pulled me close to his side. “Shut up, you brat.”She laughed and kissed his cheek. “You can still come and go as you please.”He glared at her. “You’re damn right I can. I am still the alpha!”She winked at m

    Osprey (6 years later)I sprinted back to my house like my parents had told me to after school was let out. I ran into the living room, quickly hugged my mother and deposited my bookbag beside the coffee table. I spun back to the door and rushed towards it when my father stepped in my way.“Where are you going in such a hurry? You just got home.”I stopped, lowering my head. I had learned at any age that any type of attitude would be dominated out of me so it was just easier to submit and pray that I could talk my way into getting what I wanted.“I wanted to walk Scarlett home,” I said softly.“Do you have homework?”“Dad, it’s the first day,” I whined, resisting the urge to stomp my foot.“Do you have homework?” he repeated.I groaned. “I do. I’m going to do it. I just wanted to walk her home first.”My father studied me for a moment before sighing. “If you miss even one homework assignment, I will not allow you to walk her home anymore. Am I understood?”I nodded enthusiastically. “
