The Hunter Chapter 45
Chapter 45He hesitated for a moment and then reached for my hand. I let him take it so I could get a read on him. He reports to the council, what is the council? That is strange… I wasn’t aware The Academy had a council. “Look I'm not trying to be weird, I'm looking to move up, away from Hunting into something bigger. I just need to know who to talk to after I complete this checkmate. You know this will earn me any title I want basically.” I said. “Ok, ok, you’re right. I report to the Council. They are a group of 4 that run The Academy behind the scenes. My direct report, his name is Max. He’s one of the original guys to start The Academy. If you want to move up I suggest you get a hold of him. He can definitely be of help. And honestly, I’m sure you can get whatever you want from him. He’s easily swayed, if you know what I mean…” Bartholomew said, with a wink. I swallowed my disgust, he meant sex. Jesus. I couldn’t imagine Humans being like that, but I guess there were bad apples
The Hunter Chapter 46
Chapter 46‘I miss you too. Honestly it’s crazy how I went from being perfectly fine with being alone, to perfectly not fine with it. It’s like when you aren’t here, a piece of me is missing.’ I replied. I was being honest though, I know it had only been a few days this time around, but my subconscious knew Damien and remembered him. He was my comfort zone, my rock. I couldn’t imagine having to live without him again, not after everything. I’m kind of sad it took me this long to realize it, but I really needed the time to get over his rejection I suppose. I’m just glad it happened this way and not after I had accepted Damien sooner and was unaware of the hit. This way I could actually do something about it. Hopefully. ‘I think that's part of the gifted mate bond. Feeling like we are two parts of a whole that are incomplete without the other. I’ve been feeling this for years, I’m sure you have too, you just didn’t realize it.’ He replied. ‘Now that I have some of my memories back I
The Hunter Chapter 47
Chapter 47This had me thinking for a moment. Sure I wanted him to mark me, in fact the urge was stronger than ever now that we were talking about it. But was I truly ready? If he marked me on my neck/shoulder where I wanted him to mark me, in the spot that was visible to others, that could be a dead giveaway while I'm still Hunting. I couldn’t risk that, not yet. But if I had him mark me somewhere where it wasn't visible, then I could still be marked and still Hunt. But then later, when I want it to show, I don’t think it could be moved. This was difficult. “Look, I still have some business to figure out with work, and having a mark on my shoulder/neck would be a dead giveaway that something wasn’t right. There isn’t a way you could move the mark to a different place once it's on there, could you?” I asked him. He chuckled. “No, I can’t move it. Once it's on you, it stays there forever. So we have to make sure that you're ready when we do it.” He replied. “Ok, then I would like to wa
The Hunter Chapter 48
Chapter 48Jericho remained silent for a moment but I could hear him typing on his laptop. “Perfect, I actually have a device that will be perfect for this. Are you still in Maine, love?” He asked. “Yes I am, I plan to be here for a while.” I said. “Ok good, I am getting on the next plane there, and I will call you when I arrive so we can meet up. I can’t step a foot inside The Academy, of course, but we can meet up at another location. I will contact you when I arrive.” He said, and then hung up the phone. I sighed in relief at the thought of seeing Jericho in person. It had been quite some time since I actually had seen him in person. Though we spoke on and off through the years and much more recently regarding The Academy and their bullshit, it was different than actually being together in person. I missed my friend and couldn’t wait to see him. I went into my closet and found a different black dress and tossed the one I was wearing to the floor. Once I changed I checked the mirror
The Hunter Chapter 49
Chapter 49He smiled at me, and something about the smile hit me right in the gut. I had a strange feeling that if I met with him in person I may never come out alive. There was something else in his eyes too that bothered me, and it wasn't the typical lust I always see. This was something more. I just looked deep into his eyes for a moment while he processed my reply. “I will text you with an address and time. See you tonight.” He said. And with that he ended the call. I felt like I had fallen into an endless abyss, like I was drowning and he was going to save me. I didn’t know what kind of fuckery that is, but I didn’t like it at all. We arrived at The Primrose and I couldn't shake the feeling that Max was still somehow watching me. That had to be crazy though. Right? I pushed the thoughts away as I went to open my car door but it was already opening. Jericho stood on the other side with his hand held out to me. I put my hand in his and his thoughts wafted through my mind like a ge
The Hunter Chapter 50
Chapter 50I shuddered as I set my phone down. It just seemed like I could feel him, even though a text. It was the strangest feeling I had ever felt. “Care to explain?” Jericho asked, pulling me from my eerie mindset. “Oh, fuck i’m sorry. That was super weird. So when I killed Bartholemew, remember he gave me the name of Max from the council? Well that was him.”I said. “Huh? Wait, WAIT, that was Max, from the council? Texting you? What, how?!” Jericho exclaimed. So remember when I told you I asked Shadow about a meeting with the council? Well I asked him to give Max my regards hoping that the personal call out would urge him to agree to meet with me. Shadow said he would see what he could do, but then he never called me back. Instead, Max called me.” I explained. “Holy shit, Snow. That is insane! I have never in my lifetime of snooping through The Academy’s files, found that the council ever speaks to anyone in person, or anyone ever really. Maybe the couple of people that report d
The Hunter Chapter 51
Chapter 51“Snow.” He said, greeting me. I extended my hand and let him take it, kissing it softly. His thoughts were cool and calculated. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing sinister, he was just extremely interested in me. I intrigued him, more so than anyone else has. He was determined to figure me out. “Come in, beautiful.” He purred, and it felt like the silk from his voice traveled through my ears and wrapped itself around my mind. It had me wondering just what his enhancement was. I was sure I would find out soon enough. I walked inside the room, which was a typical suite. It had a four poster bed in the middle of the room against the back wall, a fireplace and seating on one side, a mini bar on the other, plus the walk-in closet and bathroom adjoined. The thing that struck me the most interesting were the windows. They were huge and the entire room was lined with them. The view outside was gorgeous as you could see the ocean and the town below. This resort sat up on a cliff o
The Hunter Chapter 52
Chapter 52Max hooked his index finger under my chin, forcing me to look him in the eyes. I could feel the slimy tendrils disguised as silk, seeping into my mind. “Max, I’m warning you, get the fuck out of my mind.” I snarled. “But doll, I love you, can’t you feel our bond?” He said softly, and the hurt in his eyes was apparent. This felt so fucking real. I could feel him in my mind, and I swear that this was the memory, exactly how it happened. But I knew he was messing around in there, changing shit. He was not my gifted mate and this was not real. “Don’t call me doll.” I growled, and ripped my knife from its holster, jamming it into Max’s chest with extreme swiftness. He never expected it, and I watched as he bled out in front of me. “Only one man can call me doll, and it sure as hell isn't you.” I snarled, while jamming my knife deeper into his chest. I knew this wasn't real, just a memory so he wasn’t really dead. I expected him to pull us out of the memory, but he didn’t. I watc
