So, you might think I ran to Clark and his little b**h right away and ended their miserable lives, but no. I was not that stupid. Clark didn’t deserve to die, not his new little wh**e either; it would be too easy on them. Besides, I needed training. I was still weak.
Even if both of them were slippery as eels and had an IQ that matched the animal. Their ranks made their wolves robust, and would defend their human counterpart if someone threatened their lives. A fight that I would lose. Even if my trail of thought changed, my body was weak, my heart still in pieces, and my soul still black and crying.
When I came back, I was basically a rogue; no pack and no family. All alone in my own misery and hatred. I figured out that I would need a pack of sorts, but I didn’t want just any pack. This was a time to be innovative. I sought out a small pack I remember hearing about from my parents when I was young: specially trained werewolves and hybrids in combat, stealth, tactics, and tracking. If they were an average pack, they would be the strongest ones around, that I’m sure of, but they weren’t.
They were hunters.
Not like the human hunters that track down supernatural beings and kill them just for the fun of it or just because they hated them.
No. This little community consisted of retired hunters that used to work for the supernatural government. Their job was to seek out, investigate, and hunt down werewolves, hybrids, vampires, dragon shifters that broke the rules, criminals who killed humans and exposed themselves, and so on.
Now, I could benefit from the knowledge I got in my previous life because I spent my days in the packhouse with the Luna and years of listening to my parents talk about their last missions and connections. I called a man named Collin, who worked in the government, and after my recollection, he has a soft spot for young girls. Too young.
So, after three phone calls and a 20-minute waiting break, I was granted a one-year stay. The main reason was training, this also meant I would forever be considered part of their community, but I would be on my own after that. Here, I could improve myself and get rid of this hideous rogue sent, but at the same time, I wasn’t tied down to a pack and society. It was perfect!
I looked forward to a year of blood, pain, and sweat. To make my exterior as hard and cold as I felt inside, built up my walls on the outside as high and impenetrable as the walls I built inside. However, what I wasn’t prepared for was Mickael. Of course, I should have known. They were all hunters, but this also meant they were warriors. They knew what trauma would do to you. I couldn’t hide mine as well as I thought.
When I arrived, I was turned off. I didn’t take time to cry for my loss, my betrayal, or what was done to me before I died. I pushed it all away. Ironically, I found my therapy when I was supposed to be made into a strong and skilled killer. I wouldn’t say I liked it, but I quickly learned that I became a better fighter when my mental state was healthy.
Therapy was one thing, it helps, but it won’t take it away. The dreams and the memories just kind of help you accept them. Accept what happened; it’s part of me and will always be. Another thing was finding something to distract you or help you cope. I tried it all, Jessica used hill-climbing, which was exciting, but that didn’t do it for me. Avalon painted; let’s just say that’s not part of my talent, nor did
I have the patience for it. Then I tried Yoga & meditation, horseback riding, shooting with guns and arrows, running from it all, and screaming (yes, Amalia loved her screaming!). We used to go out in the middle of the woods and scream our lungs empty. I could see it worked for her, but I still was left with something nagging my inner peace.
That’s when Mickael showed up, and it was actually a coincidence, but I discovered BDSM, and it was just what I’d been searching for! I pushed my limits; I worked with trust, pain, and pleasure. After a good session, I was worn out, satisfied, and at peace, and I could relax.
Never would I have thought sex could do or be so much more than, well, sex. I never thought I would find my release and salvation with the delightful combination of pleasure and pain: humiliation and discipline. I discovered a whole new world, and I loved it. Mickael made me moan, cry, scream, and yelp. Every time he took care of me afterward like I was his little princess. Every time I slept like a baby at night with a smile on my face and a night without nightmares. This inner peace and bliss gave me the calm I needed to look forward to planning my steps and moves. The plus side was I also could enjoy a part of life I never even knew existed! What I felt towards Mickael wasn’t love but trust, understanding, respect, and lust. Love didn’t have a place in my heart or mind. Desire, on the other hand, definitely had a place. I could still close my eyes and picture him and sometimes even crave him, and I will forever cherish the time we spent together.
I breathe in the raw November air with my eyes closed, listening and waiting. Where was I? Yes. My stay at the huntress pack. I left ready for combat in every way, got help to heal my mind and soul, found distraction and pleasure and found my new mission in life. That’s what I was here, standing on the corner of a dark ally in a little town in the south of England. I’ve already been waiting for hours, but I will wait all week if necessary. I have studied his file repeatedly, and this is a man don’t deserve the oxygen he is breathing, and I was determined to burn his file before I left this county. I already had a new job waiting for me back in Dallas, and the longer I waited with that job, the more suffering he would inflict. He has been an active man, and I wanted to end it fast, but this creep could not wait either.
“Want to try it again? Maybe you just need some help from a friend?” I scoffed, ignoring the blood that trickled down over my face and how my hair stuck to my face and neck. I knew I looked like shit, that I was covered in minor cuts and bruises. Still, I stood tall, smiling, looking over at that pathetic little man hunched over a couple of meters away from me. Because, If I look like shit, he seems half-dead already. He lost the strategy games, not only the first time but the second, third, and fourth times. He was loud and obnoxious and a soar looser on top of it all. Then he followed up with poor planning, reading the map wrong, then drawing up the lines on the map wrong after he was corrected about the map direction and size scales. He was a hot-headed brute, most likely used to scare people into doing what he wanted, yell at people, stop arguing, and just rely on pure muscle mass. He might do well in a drunken fistfight, but he had nothing on me, and the crowd had begun to see
“It is okay; I’ve known this as long as I can remember.”She smiled,“Not even Clark or Sofia could help me if they wanted to. I know creatures like me die on their first shift. That is out of our hands, out of yours too. I do not have a wolf, at least not a wolf the moon goddess would approve of, so she would not let it have life on Earth. So, when my first shift is bound to happen, I will die with the beast assigned to me, which is deemed too dangerous and destructive for this world. I am okay with this, Mal; I find it peaceful. This way, I will never be a danger to all creatures; I accept that this is the only way the moon goddess can protect her innocent children,”I placed my hand over her mouth before she could continue,“No, Ophelia. Just no. This is all lies! I understand you believe them, as you grew up having to, but please believe me when I say this is false! This is not the way the moon goddess work, far from it! “I did my best to block all incoming mind links, feeling Op
Everything went by so easy and smooth, to the point it actually made me nervous and tense. I waited for someone to try stop us, attack us, anything really. But it didn’t happen. I got dressed and gave Ophelia the simple, child version of the nights event. Mostly to try make her feel safe again, and it worked. It made me feel bad, I never realized how tense and on guard she had been all this time, and I didn’t even notice before all of it left her in a deep breath. Her shoulders fell, her back relaxed and smiled, stating she was happy that old mean woman would never come near us again.Ophelia stood right next to me when we entered the stage again, and to my surprise everyone seemed to have showed up here. There might be a few missing, but not so it was visible on the size of the crowd. There was of course no sparkling joy and clear happiness, but u never expected it to be. I just killed their alpha, right in front of them and claimed his rank. They didn’t know me, for all they knew I
Everything happened within seconds.My dress shattered and was tossed around on the stage. The so-called King literally jumped me, claws and canines flashing in the dancing light from the flames. But also, Myra bounced back; apparent, she’s been watching it all.I didn’t even get to reach them, but she did, and the growl that rumbled in my chest was her. Power and anger surged through me as her presence filled me and pushed me forward. We didn’t shift form, but she filled mine to the point that it felt like my skin would rip and tear at any moment. His canine scraped my collarbone, and his claws sank deeper into my hips. Blood trickled down my legs and over my chest. Seeing through Myra´s raging eyes, I realized we didn’t switch this time; she didn’t force me back and deny me control.Myra grabbed a fist of his hair and yanked his head back with such force that I thought she broke his neck at first. But I didn’t take time to care, didn’t take time to enjoy the sight of him forced to
“Myra?” I called for her again; it had to be the hundredth time, at least. Each time I could feel her stir far in the back of my head, but still no answer. She was there, but something kept us from each other, blocking our connection. I’m not scared; I’m angry and frustrated. Not a chance in hell that spoiled brat touch me, and I’m sure as hell won’t let him mark me! I’ve had my time with a Mate; I’m not doing it again! To be so blind and naïve just because of an invisible attraction and a bite. I glared at the blue dress sparkling up the dimmed room with its mere presence hanging over the chair. It didn’t sparkle, not really, but in my eyes, it was like the light at the end of a tunnel. Only you knew this light did not represent freedom or escape; it was everything but that. I never fancied dresses, at least not in this life, but I can still remember the time I did. This was supposed to be my mateing ceremony dress, a dress for a royal Luna. Had my old Luna or mother seen this, th
My fingers ached my neck, shoulders, and wrists.That old hag had a loose grip on her cane, and I gritted my teeth as the thin wooden whip smacked over my neck again.“No! Back straight, shoulders leveled but relaxed. Never hunch forward, and make sure to hold your head up high but your gaze low!”She scolded, and I’ve yet to figure out how all this is possible at the same time! Head high and gaze low, I mocked in my head. I would look like an idiot looking down my nose! Not that I haven’t tried that.“Graceful, flowing! Move like a perfect lady and carry yourself with a calm and submissive attitude. A woman that knows her worth and rank knows how to present herself and her mate. “My skin burned just seconds after the swishing sound of her cane moved through the air. I swear to the goddess, if Ophelia wasn't here watching, looking worried and pained already, I would have snapped that cane in two and showed them so far up this dry witch´s ass that they peeked out her nose! “Goddess,
