The Hunter Chapter 25
Chapter 25I started to stir soon after and my eyes started to flutter open. I was disoriented. I remember waking up, except I was alone in the room. I was always alone and I was used to it. This memory was a lot different than what Damien would have me remember. As my eyes fully opened, I locked them into Damiens when I saw him gasp. I was still in too much of a daze to realize what he was doing but watching from the sideline I could see his shock. I knew it was because my intense blue eyes had now turned onyx black, just like my hair. That seemed to be the only thing that changed on me, but what a change it was. Damien reached for my hand and I knew now that this was the first time I was able to hear thoughts. Damiens thoughts were the first thoughts I ever heard. He was thinking about my eyes being black and what a shock it was, and then he was thinking of killing that doctor. “My eyes are black?! You don't have to kill the doctor, Damien. I knew the risks when I agreed to this.”
The Hunter Chapter 26
Chapter 26I had better figure this contract out quickly. I wasn’t about to waste a second more than I already had to. “Jarvis, tell me everything you can about the person who ordered the hit on Damien.” I said. “I’m sorry ma’am, that information was not provided on this particular contract.” Jarvis replied. I groaned out loud. Fuck, what was I going to do now? How could I find out more information? I thought. I was racking my brain trying to figure out another way to get the information when it hit me, the archives! The Academy keeps an archive of every hit ever ordered. This includes the information of who ordered it. When ordering a hit you have to fill out an application and it will either get approved or denied, depending on your reasons. The Academy is very picky when it comes to the reasons they allow a hit. Even if you are denied your application will be saved in the archive. Luckily the archives are digital, so I wouldn’t have to go sneaking around in a filing cabinet. But I
The Hunter Chapter 27
Chapter 27The next 24 hours were going to be the slowest 24 hours of my life. I honestly couldn't do anything else right now. It was all in Jericho's hands now. I laughed because knowing him, he would be calling me at exactly 6:35pm tomorrow night. He was particular like that when he gave time frames. My mind went directly to Damien, I wonder what he was doing right now. My phone suddenly went off in my hand, causing me to jump and almost drop the thing. “Sheesh!” I said out loud, as I tried to calm my beating heart. I looked down at my phone and saw the name Damien flash across the screen. He had texted me. I instantly raised an eyebrow at my phone as I fumbled to open the message. I didn't ever give him my number, how in the hell was his name and number programmed into my phone? I finally opened the message and read it. ‘Hey, I'm sorry, not trying to bother you, but I just really miss you…’ He said. My heart fluttered reading his words. ‘Hi, how exactly did I get your number in her
The Hunter Chapter 28
Chapter 28Damien wasn’t touching me so I had no read on his thoughts, but his face was torn in a look of turmoil. “Snow, you have to understand why I did what I did before you can understand why it took this long for you to accept me. I never wanted to force you into something, I never wanted to be the reason you gave up your entire life. Had I not erased your memories all those times, maybe our outcome would have remained the same, but maybe it wouldn’t have become what we have now. I don’t know, but the second you rejected the idea of us together, and I knew it was causing you inner turmoil, I erased your memories and let you go on your way. I knew there would be a time when I didn't have to do that, and you would accept me. But I didn’t realize how long it would take. Being a Hunter is in your blood. It's difficult to realize that fate has other plans for you. Especially when you were so hellbent on avenging your mother in any way possible. Can you imagine feeling as if the world
The Hunter Chapter 29
Chapter 29“I know you have a lot of questions, but right now the answers aren't important. Just know that I am on your side. I would never hurt you, and when you get old enough I will tell you everything.” Damien said. We had already ordered and our food arrived before I spoke again. “You’re a Vampire, and you know I'm a Hunter…” I said, as more of a question than a statement. “I know, little one. And that's what makes this all the more difficult.” He said, and I let his cryptic words dance through my brain as we ate. I noticed that my 16 year old self couldn't keep her eyes off Damien. The gifted mate bond was definitely in effect, but she was smart and kept her thoughts to herself. Once we were done eating we went back to the parking lot. Damien had me ask Shiva to pull the car around. Once we were inside he commanded Shiva to take us back to the hotel in town, he needed a ride there since he had driven my car to come get me. “How is it that you can control my artificial intelligen
The Hunter Chapter 30
Chapter 30“Thank you, for the gift. And you know, if you’re just going to erase my memories, then I guess I should tell you that you’re right. I do feel the bond, or whatever you called it. But we could never truly be together.” I heard myself say. I could see the hurt in Damien’s eyes, as he registered what I had just said. “I know, Snow. I know, but it will never stop me from loving you.” He said, and he turned and kissed my cheek lightly. I was surprised that I didn't stop him. He was about to get out of the car when I surprised myself yet again. I guess I really didn’t know what I would do. “Wait!” I said. Damien knelt down and looked back into my car at me. “Do you want to have lunch? I mean, it is my birthday, and it’s the least I can do to repay you for Jarvis.” I said. I saw Damiens face light up. “Sure, but no way in the world are you paying.” He said, with a chuckle. I raised an eyebrow at him. “Take me to the place you took me last year.” I said. “Are you sure? It was just
The Hunter Chapter 31
Chapter 31I watched as my 18 year old self came to the realization that Damien wasn’t lying. I couldn’t hear my own thoughts, but I know how I think. I didn't move from his lap, where he had placed me. I kept one hand on his shoulder, and the other I brought up to lightly trace his facial features. An intimate action, and I knew that he had me at that point. “Why would you keep this from me?” I asked him. “Snow, it’s complicated. You’re a Hunter, and I'm a Vampire. How could we ever make this work?” Damien said. “I don’t know, but I don’t care.” I said, and I pressed my lips to his, wrapping my hand through his onyx hair. I knew I could feel the lightning dancing between us and only a fool would ignore such an intense pull. It seemed like he wanted to pull away but the gifted mate bond was just too strong. I watched as he pulled me closer, deepening our kiss. There was passion, there was need, there was sparks and lightning. The gifted mate bond was so intense, I could feel it and I
The Hunter Chapter 32
Chapter 32“Snow… I’m so sorry.” He whispered, pulling me to his chest while I cried. He ran his fingers through my hair and just held me. “I never thought it could work, I was feeling too guilty. I would have ruined your entire life, ruined everything you had worked so hard for. You know I never wanted to be that person, that guy who came in and tore your life apart. You can say you wanted it, but tell me, did you really? Because Hunting is your life, and it always has been. You killed a Vampire when you were 12 years old, Snow. You were born to be a Hunter.” Damien said. I pulled away from his embrace so I could look him in the eyes. “I was willing to give it all up, to give everything away, just to be with you. I wanted to be with you. I didn’t care about the rest. I begged you, pleaded with you, and you denied me. You know I have spent the past 10 years searching for something that was even a fraction of what I felt when I was with you. Even when I didn’t know what I felt? I knew
