The Hunter Chapter 34
Chapter 34I watched him carry me to his car, which was the Ferrarri this time. The whole time I was screaming and making a scene. He ignored all of the dirty looks and opened his car door, shoving me inside. He fastened my seatbelt and I heard myself whining about my knife. Damien then used Vampire speed to go back to the alley and get my knife for me, showing it to me then throwing it in the trunk out of my reach. He then got in the car and started it up. He held his hand out to me. “Your phone, now.” He demanded. I glared at him. I was fucking pissed. I had no idea what I was thinking, being so defiant, but I knew that Damien was pissed about my Hunting tactics. “No.” I said and turned to look out the window. “Snow.” Damien said, with a warning tone, and still I defied him. “I said, no.” I snarled. He reached over and grabbed my phone out of my hand, much to my displeasure. “Who they fuck are you and why are you even here?” I spat. “Jarvis, take the car back to The Academy, I will
The Hunter Chapter 35
Chapter 35“Snow, please. I’m begging you. Let me fix this.” Damien pleaded. I just shook my head. “How does it feel to have everything you have ever wanted sitting right in front of you, right within your grasp, and be told no?” I said, with tears streaming down my cheeks. He just looked at me and he was fighting back tears too. “The difference is, I will forget all of this, but you… You never will. I hope it hurts you just as much as you've hurt me. Now get it over with, take my memories, I can't bear this pain any longer.” I said, and closed my eyes. I watched as Damien scooted closer to me and took me in his arms. “I deserve every ounce of pain these interactions cause me, but I will never stop trying to make things right with you.” He said. He didn't remove my memories, instead he tilted my chin up to him and kissed me. I watched as the gifted mate bond started to click into place between us. It was so strong, you could practically feel it from the sidelines. That, of course, le
The Hunter Chapter 36
Chapter 36'Haven't gotten a checkmate yet? This is a record for you. What's it been, 3 days, 4 days? Has time softened you?' Xavier said, with a winky face. I sighed to myself before replying. 'Hey now, a high priority contract takes finesse. You know this, simmer down.' I replied. I knew he wouldn't reply this late, it was 3:00am. I bit back the anxiety that threatened to overflow from my chest as I thought about how the Hunting community was going to take my leave. I literally was giving up everything. My entire life... My livelihood. I turned and looked at Damien who was still sleeping peacefully. I knew he was my future, and while this transition would be difficult, it would be worth it. Thinking about Damien caused my stress to calm down some, and I was about to set my phone down when I noticed I had another message. But this wasn't from Xavier, it was from Jericho. My heart jumped to my throat. He never gets back to me before the time frames he sets. He's very particular like
The Hunter Chapter 37
Chapter 37Morning came faster than I had hoped. I instantly regretted opening my eyes, as a barrage of thoughts from my conversation with Jericho last night infiltrated my brain. Sleep was a nice reprieve from the chaos running through my frazzled mind. I know I hadn’t had any time to really process what Jericho said, but how in the hell was I going to convince The Academy to withdraw their hit? Especially if they were doing it to get control of his business. I looked over at Damien who was still asleep, lying on his back with his head turned towards me. I watched as his chest rose and fell softly with each breath and it was like I could feel the gifted mate bond clicking more and more into place with every second I spent with him. It made my desire to stop the Academy even that much stronger. I would stop them, or we would both die trying. There was no way in hell I would let them win. I knew my clock was ticking and the urgency pushed me forward. Suddenly Damien reached up and grab
The Hunter Chapter 38
Chapter 38We finished showering and got out to get ready. Damien was ready pretty quickly, but it took me a little longer with my hair and all. I had to blowdry it, I wasn’t going outside with it wet. I laughed as he shook his head at me and told me I looked fine about 30 times before I actually agreed, and followed him out of the house to his car. He chose the Buggati this time. Cortana already had it ready for us and she opened the doors as we walked up. I got inside, and Damien shut my door for me and then he got inside. “Cortana, take us to Edge Enterprises.” He commanded. “As you wish, sir.” Cortana replied, and we headed that way. I had never been to his office before but I had heard a lot about it. I took the time to check my phone and Jericho did indeed message me. 'Hey love, the guy's name is Bartholomew. Looks like he's been working for Damien for about 3 years now. From what I can see he started purely with the intention of giving proprietary information to The Academy. T
The Hunter Chapter 39
Chapter 39Once he got inside and we started driving to an unknown location he turned back to me. “Matt thinks he is getting proprietary information and giving it to The Academy. What he’s really getting is proprietary information riddled with bugs and code that will never work. It will never let them copy my designs.” He said with a laugh. “Also, his name is Bartholomew, not Matt. I keep him around because it keeps The Academy at bay. I have a feeling they are eventually going to try and take things a step further, but for now they are appeased by his reports back to them.” Damien said. I just kept my mouth shut, it was extremely smart and he definitely knew what he was doing. He, however, didn’t realize that The Academy had already taken that next step… Me. I still had to kill Bartholomew though. I still had to, because it would put a wrench in The Academy’s plan, and I didnt have any other tools in my belt at this moment. “Well I’m glad you know, because the second he touched my ha
The Hunter Chapter 40
Chapter 40I could tell that my words eased some of his mind by the look on his face. “So the next question I have then is, I live in Maine, and I know you live in Vegas normally or within The Academy. Would you be opposed to relocating? You know, maybe stay with me here in Maine?” He asked sheepishly. I knew this was a huge question for him to ask, and although it didn’t feel too soon at all for me, I had other things to worry about first. “I am not opposed to relocating. I just need a little time first, if that’s ok. I just need to get my affairs in order before we make that move.” I said. I hoped that my words would calm Damiens mind, but still give me the time to figure out how to stop The Academy. “I never want you to feel like I'm pushing too hard or moving too fast. So please, stop me if I am. I’m new at this too.” Damien replied with a smile. I smiled back just as our food came. We ate and chatted, mostly about things that I wondered about him. I found out that his favorite co
The Hunter Chapter 41
Chapter 41Damien didn’t laugh this time but he just smiled. “Yes his name is Xavier, I know you will not want to hear this, but we have been intimate… I’m sorry Damien, I didn’t know.” I said, as a stray tear fell from my cheek. Damien suddenly took me in his arms and held me. “Why did you take my memories?! Why?! I could have prevented this!” I said, pounding my fist against Damiens chest. “You asked me too, remember? Last year, you said you wanted me to take them so you could focus on Hunting. So I did as I was asked.” Damein said. I could hear the hurt in his voice, but his thoughts that flooded through my mind when he touched me, told me that he already knew about Xavier and this wasn’t a surprise to him, it just hurt still. Guilt flooded into my chest at the thought of Xavier. This whole thing was a fucking mess and I had no idea how to get out of it. I pulled away from Damien to look him in the eyes. “I’m so sorry, I just… I didn’t know.” I said. Damien put his hooked finger un
