Another Hunt Novels & Stories

And then I had woken up alone to a cold bed with his familiar warmth gone. There had been no note, no phone number, nothing I could use to identify. The only thing that remained was his faint scent and the memory of his body writhing beneath mine and I pounded him. Rage had coiled in my belly. He dare he run away? Nobody walked away from me. No one had dared to disappear from me without any form of consequences. That same morning, I had made calls. I was quick to hire the best investigators money could buy to find him.

He replied. I smiled, “Smart man. Well it was good to meet you, I am headed to Maine and I have three hours still to drive so I better get going.” I said. “It was good to finally meet you in person, Snow. You are every bit as beautiful as they say, if not more.” Shane replied. “Thank you.” I said and flashed him a million dollar smile while walking out the door. Hunters were connected through a vast network and it wasn’t uncommon to run into each other out and about. Still, it gets me when they know my name and I've never seen them before. In all these years it still surprises me.

someone interrupts, excitement bubbling in his voice. Daryl claps his hands once. “Good question! It’s the Game of Hunt.” A grin spreads across his face. “Each team will search the resort grounds for hidden treasures. Think of it like a scavenger hunt—but not so easy. Clues have been carefully planted, and only the team that finds all their assigned treasures wins.” A chorus of whoas rises from the group. “Sounds tough,” someone says. Daryl nods, still grinning. “There’s just one small problem,” he says, tapping his clipboard.

Connor POV Finally, a decent hunt. When word got out, pretty much all the hunters wanted to go, as we hadn't had the thrill of the chase in over a month. This is purely due to this stupid competition, which was basically decided from the start. Still, no one could have predicted the attacks on this territory. We start working online with Nightstalker to tracking credit cards transaction, CCTV footage, and getting info from other hunters our target might have run into. It takes less than an hour to find him at a five-star resort. How predictable. I load up my weapons and get ready for the hunt.

Alpha Malik and Jericho stealthily reached their chosen hunting spot, a pristine wilderness teeming with possibilities. The hunting bush sprawled before them, a tapestry of lush greenery, dappled sunlight, and hidden secrets. The air danced with the earthy scent of the forest, inviting them to immerse themselves in its embrace. As they ventured deeper into the hunting bush, their eyes keenly scanning the surroundings, a symphony of chirping birds and rustling leaves serenaded their senses. The king's heart quickened with anticipation, and his hunter's instincts ignited.

This time, they weren’t running. They were hunting.

And that is where the fun starts. Alone, I rode towards the outskirts, looking for any sign of the sighted demon. I want to see that dragon myself before the army catches it. As I resided by a shack that divides the forest and the slums, I left the horse there and started to explore the woods before the sun completely sets. I searched for any signs and markings, but there aren’t any. I wonder if I misheard it, or is it located on the eastern border?

Just then an announcement was made. "All the kids who passed all the three tests come forward." Shama, Rehan, Ansh and two other people walked out of the crowd. Naina signalled best of luck to Shama. Shama smiled at her. Rehan gave her a deathly glare. "Childish" Shama said looking another way. Just then the announcement started, "There is a stone in front of you. You have to touch the stone one by one. The one who is eligible for being the next hire to the vampire clan will be recognised by the stone and that person's power will be awakened. It's the test of your soul."

I watched for a moment before walking toward my door. As I was shutting it, I heard Elena whisper, “Go get your man, Auntie.” I shook my head. That girl was a disaster walking, and I absolutely adored the organized chaos that was Elena. I quietly crept down the stairs before slipping out the back door and into the forest. I stopped beneath his tree, looking up, scanning the tree for him but not finding him. “I know you’re here, ‘Sprey. I can feel you.” He sighed as he swung himself down out of the tree. “Hey, Scarlett. I was just leaving. I was hunting a squirrel. They’re fast and good to hunt to keep myself fresh and-”

Stephen looked at him and laughed out loud. "Ohh my innocent Callum". He held him in his arms. And Callum felt safe again. "It was blood love". He softly swayed him left to right. "Being a Wolf is a different thing. Wolves have mates. Like Humans. When we present our 18th year, it's an automatic search for our mate. We catch their special scent that indicates our mates. An Alpha like me, for instance, has much sharp senses because we have to lead a whole pack. An Alpha can sense his mate miles away.
