Saphire: Blood Huntress

SAPHIRE POVGrowing up without a mother in a werewolf community can have it’s challenges. But luckily my father never gave up after losing his mate and he never lost sight of what was important. Me. he was a great warrior and one of the best vampire hunters out there. People would call my father from all over the country and ask for his help if they were having a vampire problem. He was my hero and started training me from a very young age. Mostly because he had seen the worst out there and he was determined to make sure that I knew how to take care of myself. But after I turned 18 everything in my life went to hell. My father became seriously ill with some sickness that no one could cure or even describe. It was like nothing they had ever seen before. The doctors were stumped and it didn’t take long for the illness to take my father away from me. I thought there might have been light at the end of that dark tunnel when I finally found my mate. But that was dashed very quickly whe

SAPHIRE POVDr. Wilson started walking back towards the hospital after he told me to be careful living out here alone but he knows that I can take care of myself. He’s just not sure if there are any people looking for that man or if vampires are going to appear. It’s something that I needed to keep an eye on. But after a lot of reassurances that I was going to be fine, we parted ways and I headed back to the cabin. As soon as I got close enough I heard voices in the distance and I smelt the unmistakable scent of warriors.I slowly approached my cabin and there were two warriors standing on my porch who both looked at me like I had been to war or something like that. “What the hell do you want?” I asked. “Vampires have been spotted in the area. We were told to come and warn you.” John said. “Yeah. I’m already aware.” I said picking up my groceries and walking inside my cabin. “How are you aware? Have you seen them?” Justin asked. “No. But I just tried to help one of their victims

ALPHA DANTE POVDuring my usual rounds of the grounds was pretty routine. I liked to patrol my own territory to make sure that nothing is out of place. I don’t know why I do it but I always do. Especially with the rise of vampire attacks and I like to make sure that my pack is safe. This day wasn’t like any other day though. I didn’t catch a scent of anything, but as I heard something flying through the air I turned around just in time for it to strike me across the ribs. I fell to the ground and rolled to my side as I saw two vampires step out of the treeline and think they had won the ultimate prize by attacking an Alpha. But they underestimated me. After a fierce battle that severely injured me one of the vampires stabbed me in the chest with a silver blade and I fell back into the river with a strong current and carried me for so many miles. I finally felt something catch my ankle and when I reached down it was a net that looked like it had been placed there on purpose. Almost

The room went deadly quiet until the woman looked at Kyle and then back at me. “You’re the guy from the river.” She said. “Alpha Dante Moretti.” I introduced myself. “Why the hell did you call me ‘mate’? I’m not your mate.” She said. “You saved my life. You knew what to do to stop those vampires from killing me. No one knows how to do that.” I said. “My father taught me.” She said. “Your father?” I said confused. “Her father was the great Samuel Matthews.” Kyle said in a condescending way. “Holy shit. Everyone knows about your father. He was the best vampire hunter we’ve ever seen.” I said. “And he also knew how to follow the rules.” Kyle said. “Do you ever get sick of listening to your own voice?” She asked looking at Kyle which caused his jaw to flex. Wow. She’s definitely got guts to stand up to her Alpha like that. But she could also just be pissed because she’s been detained for a bullshit reason. “What do you want?” She asked. “What’s your name?” I asked.

The clearing settled into silence after that but I kept my blade raised because I didn’t trust how easily they had walked away from this fight. Behind me Dante and Travis stayed where they were, not daring to come near me.“She took them apart like they were nothing.” Travis muttered. Dante finally tried to walk closer to me but I didn’t lower my knife. “You can stop staring.” I said keeping my voice steady even though my side burned with every breath. “I’m not staring. I’m trying to understand what just happened.” Dante said. “Then you’re going to be standing there for a while.” I said, trying to hide the pain that I was feeling. “They knew your name.” He said. “So what?” I shrugged. “That’s not normal. They weren’t random and they weren’t hunting blind.” He said. “I already figured that out.” I snapped.“You’re bleeding.” He said. “I’m aware. Don’t touch me.” I said stepping back from him. He didn’t listen and I snapped faster than he had expected. “Don’t fucking touch m
