The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 42: A Sudden Shift
"The wolves are gathering," Silas stated, as he burst into his father's office. The high-ranking members of the Red Hoods were gathered around the long glass table and they all turned to face him. He bowed quickly, excusing his interruption. "Isn't it nearly the full moon?" a black-haired man drawled from the end of the table. Silas didn't like him. He was the father of the man intended for Audrey. Their whole family set Silas's teeth on edge. He didn't know why but there was something off about them. "Yes, but these movements are unusual. We haven't been able to see how many since we are not allowed on their land however, we have noticed many headed this way. Miles believes that they are headed for the alpha's which can only mean a pack meeting," Silas retorted. He sneered at the man. "They must have noticed our own increased numbers. Oh well, perhaps they are actually planning on putting up a fight this time. Good. I've grown bored with the hunt when it is only the chase and ne
The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 43: An Attempted Treaty
"Yes?" Audrey called the knock at her door tearing her away from her computer. She hoped it wasn't her mother. She couldn't stomach any more of the marriage pandering. She had already suffered through a few dinners with her intended husband and in-laws. She missed Cara terribly but hadn't had a chance to sneak away to see her since her house had been flooded with Red Hoods. The door creaked open and her "fiancé", Cole, peered around it. She sighed inwardly at the sight of him. "Can I come in?" he asked, looking awkward. She shrugged noncommittedly and shut her laptop. He closed the door behind him and stood looking around, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his expensive, tailored trousers. "You can sit," she said, pointing to the small sitting area near her balcony. He nodded slightly and placed his large frame onto one of the velvet slingback chairs. She sat in the chair opposite him. "So, how can I help you?" she automatically slipped into her business tone. A year pr

"And you talked to Willow about it? Okay, I'm in. Whatever it takes," Garin hung up the phone and tossed it onto the kitchen counter as he walked towards the living room. He needed to change before he left. He didn't think his button-down and dress pants would work very well for running through the forest, especially since they were predicting snowfall tonight. He instead, pulled on a black thermal shirt and flannel-lined jeans. He might not be the traditional outdoorsy type, but he did hail from the frigid northeast. He stopped one boot halfway on. He thought he heard the sound of a door closing. He brushed it off, thinking it was probably just his neighbors. The walls were thin in these rentals. Completely dressed, he made sure he had everything he needed: wallet, keys. His phone was downstairs, he would grab that when he left. His hallway was dark when he left his bedroom. "Weird," he said aloud since he could have sworn that he left the light on. It was getting dark earlier n
The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 45: Shots Fired
She saw his body, sagged against a tree, nearly the same one that she rescued him from a few months ago. His head was leaning forward, and she could see that his hands and feet were bound. There was a small layer of white flakes on him. He hadn't been here too long so he shouldn't be near freezing, but the temperature could drop at any moment in these mountains. Her snout raised; she sniffed the cold air. His scent was strong, but it mingled with others. She could smell the other hunters nearby. Knowing it was a trap, she forged ahead. She would save him, even if it cost her, her life. #### The Red Hoods gathered at the back of the Brochade estate. Dusk had fallen and the nearly full moon began to peek over the trees. They were all clothed in black, their faces concealed behind woolen masks. While all armed, they carried a variety of weapons, the ammo all silver tipped. Ava walked from the house, her bright red cloak trailing behind her. She was wearing a rather ornate outfit, c
The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 46: Field of Blood
The pack watched as the hunters made their way through the forests, their black shadows flitted through the trees towards the lodge. "Hold," Rashida commanded, her voice floating through their minds. A low growl rippled through the pack, each one adding their own rage to the rumble. The hunters moved closer; their scents trailed along the snow-covered ground. The pack held, their hackles raised, poised to attack. The hunters suddenly stopped, forming a v-formation. A confusion passed through the pack. Why had they stopped? A figure walked from the center of the hunters, a red cloak blowing behind it. Something glinted in the moonlight as it approached. Whoever it was, was small and petite. A gust of wind ripped the hood from its head and pale hair spilled out. "The Huntress," Rashida hissed, the venom in her voice causing the pack to wince. "No mercy, whatever it takes. We will wipe them from this place. Now!" She howled a blood-curdling shriek. The pack joined, their voices inte
The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 47: Healing Wounds
The old woman's eyebrows knit together, her hands running the length of Willow's body. The gaping wound on her ribs was deep. The bullet had lodged itself into one of the bones narrowly missing her spine. She murmured quietly underneath her breath, and pushed a finger inside of the damage, fishing for the bullet. Willow's comatose body spasmed and fresh blood spurted onto the woman's hands. Garin jerked forward but was held back by Audrey and Cole. "Let her do her job. There is nothing you can do right now," she said to him underneath her breath. His eyes were full of unshed tears. His entire countenance looked helpless. "You need to give her space. You'll be able to see her once she is done. Come on," she tugged his arm and dragged him back to the fire. He sat heavily, his head in his arms. She rubbed his back and her worried eyes met Cole's above his back. #### The bullet hit the tray next to her with a crisp metallic thunk. Loriann was holding Willow's arms down while the wis
The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 48: A New Agreement is Forged
The bright white light seared into Willow's eyes. She quickly pulled the blanket over her face, groaning. A sharp pain shot through her side. With a gasp, she pressed her hands to her side. She felt a thick bandage and the night came screaming back. She struggled to sit up, blinking in the morning sun that was streaming through the high window above her. She was on a narrow wooden bed. The room lacked any personal touches and had the antiseptic smell of a hospital but she knew she wasn't in one. The floor was made of wide pine planks. She sniffed slightly and smelled a curious mix of wolf and hunter. Willow grasped the headboard and shoved herself to her feet, swaying a bit unsteadily. A wave of nausea hit her. She tasted bile in the back of her throat. If this was battle, she didn't see the glory in it. She felt hungover more than anything. Teetering unsteadily, she made her way to the door. As her hand wrapped around the knob, it was opened slowly from the other side. Garin's b
The Alpha and Her Hunter Chapter 49: The Missing Puzzle Piece
"So, what now?" Willow asked as Garin drove towards her house. She realized that this was the first time that he had ever been there, and she was feeling incredibly self-conscious. She groaned inwardly thinking about the posters that littered her walls. It looked like the room of a teenager not a woman in her mid-twenties. "Well, since my father and Silas are dead and my mother is missing, the estate falls to Audrey. She is going to handle everything. I think she has already listed the house on the market." He replied with a laugh. He had told her about killing his father. He said that he had no regrets in doing so but he had a haunted look about him. She reached over and squeezed his knee lightly. "Where will Audrey go now?" Willow asked, already feeling sad that she wouldn't get to know Audrey better. There was something about her that drew a person in and made them feel welcome. "She hasn't said. She owns a small clothing store, but I think she will probably sell that as well.
