Gus X Hunter Novels & Stories

They’re using moon magic to send it back and forth. One of them notices me watching. “You want to play?” he asks. I’m surprised by how friendly and welcoming his tone is. “That’s okay,” I say. “I don’t really know how.” “You’re the one Wilder brought back, right?” the guy says. I nod. “I’m Hax,” he says. “Milo.” “Good to meet you.” It’s like he doesn't even care that I’m a hybrid. Or maybe he doesn’t know. Maybe Wilder and the High Sorcerer aren’t spreading that part around just yet. It would make sense. I’d probably keep it quiet if I was in their position.

It was all the time the soldier needed to gain the upper hand. "Don't move, she-wolf!" A man I didn't recognize but knew from the hairless jut of the brow and the crooked slant of his nose that he was one of Crosse's kinsmen drew a black claw to Gus' pudgy cheek. Gus blubbered, tears sliding helplessly down his face as he grabbed for me. "You're the babe's mother, aren't you? The little whore who'd gotten herself knocked up by the Golden Prince?" I growled, stalking lower on all floors, watching, waiting for the moment to strike.

“Got earnest money for me?” Trevor grinned even when his face felt encased in plastic. “Come on, Gus. You were married for a helluva lot longer than me. Chassie’s the one with the checkbook.” Gus grinned at him. “Always knew that pretty little gal was the smartest of the West lot.” Gus focused his rheumy eyes on Edgard. “You a rancher around these parts too, now that you ain’t travelin’ the circuit no more?”

I mutter angrily. “I might be a monster, but at least I am doing everything to save our family’s honor. We the Ricci have controlled contraband in the north for years and your inept father thought he could just hand it over to the Corvino... I will make everything right again.” He says with ambition showing in his eyes. “I hate you so much,” I exclaim. “I’ll learn to live with it,” Gus sneers. Suddenly, I hear two shots from behind me and, a second later, both intruders fall to the ground.

Moments later, Gus emerged with his shoulders drooped as he walked back over to us. "Okay, so I've just been called a pervert," he announced through his mask. "One of those girls works with Cassandra. I hope she didn't recognize my scent." I winced my eyes as I spoke, noticing the girl whip her phone out of her purse. "I think that could be who she's texting now." Dad poured more Tequila in each of the shot glasses as well as spilling some onto the tabletop. "One more won't hurt," he pledged, prompting us to drink.

So, the most important thing for him now was to find out the identity of the spy. Jaxon didn't wait long. Damian returned an hour later with some unexpected information. "His name is Gus Harvey. He doesn't belong to any pack. He's a rogue." *

Xander couldn’t believe his eyes. The girl standing in front of him was not his Eve but... “Giselle?” He whispered, still in a trance as he removed her veil with trembling fingers and lifted her chin to look at her face. But no sooner their eyes clashed, than rage swelled inside his heart. “Yes sweetheart,” Giselle uttered and flashed him a smirk. Flashback “What are you waiting for, Boss? Let’s blow her brains out. She is no longer useful and if she lives then she will only be a nuisance for us.” Hunter whined and looked at Dylan who unlike him was relaxed. Giselle on the other hand was horrified.

“Oh. No. The whole reason that I divorced Gus in the first place was because I'd discovered that he was involved in drugs. Turns out, he’d also killed a competitor. So that’s what he went to jail for, in the end… drug dealing and murder.” “Shit, Cordelia. When you said he wasn’t a great guy, you weren’t kidding.” “Yeah. He’s eligible for parole in ten years, but I’ll make sure he doesn’t leave one second before he’s served his full sentence.” “Good girl.” She smiled at that; she hadn’t thought of herself as a ‘girl’ in ages. It was endearingly cute when Hunter said it, though.

AVA Without another word, Hunter moves swiftly away from the lockers, passing by his two friends whose names I'm guessing are Preston and Gomorey. They had been gawking at Hunter with a mischievous grin playing on their lips, and Hunter didn't waste a chance to shoot them both with his penetrating glare. I noticed their pupils retrench as they stared at him, meaning they were conversing with each other through mindlink. It was brief, lasting a couple of seconds before Hunter turns left and straight down the now-empty halls.

He wants to say something, but I hold my hand against his face. “Don’t even start on how this can help our pack, so much, you want to help our pack. Why don’t you get married to her instead?” His eyes widened in shock and fear, my legs made way towards the stable, where I spotted Gus attending to the horses. Gus has always had a thing for animals, that’s his special ability anyways. He’s dressed in working clothes, boots draped at his legs, he approaches me with a can of beer, handing it over to me.
