Hunters Of Artemis Novels & Stories

Why had they stopped? A figure walked from the center of the hunters, a red cloak blowing behind it. Something glinted in the moonlight as it approached. Whoever it was, was small and petite. A gust of wind ripped the hood from its head and pale hair spilled out. "The Huntress," Rashida hissed, the venom in her voice causing the pack to wince. "No mercy, whatever it takes. We will wipe them from this place. Now!" She howled a blood-curdling shriek. The pack joined, their voices intertwining to create one eerie low that echoed through the night.

In the chaos, Morgan shoves Juliet aside, sending her sprawling. Seizing the opportunity, he yanks me toward him with brutal force, effectively swapping Juliet for me in this twisted game he’s playing. I struggle against Morgan's grip, desperately clawing for freedom. My fight halts when he produces a gleaming dagger and holds it to my throat, leaving me no choice but to freeze. "Watch," he whispers in my ear, directing my gaze toward the feral battle. Artemis faces off against five wolves. They initially overpower him due to their element of surprise, but the tide turns quickly. With a final toss, he incapacitates the last wolf, though not without sustaining injuries.

There were a lot of wolves out there in sheep’s skin. I heard a creak to our left, I pushed Liam forward as an arrow flew by us. “Who’s there?” “Is that you Felix?” “Artemis?” we stood up as Artemis made her way to us. She was a beautiful woman, strong, skilled, and deadly. “Are we shooting before asking questions now?”

“I’m sure you know more than I do how beauty makes people act in strange ways.” Unfortunately, she did. “When I noticed that the animal killings happened in the area where you regularly hunt, I began to wonder if it wasn’t done to capture your attention. Then when I saw the second killing was all deer, I was sure of it,” he explained. “Why did the deer make you certain this was about me?” “Artemis was fond of animals, especially deer, despite being a hunter. Your family served the goddess, so attacking deer is an obvious plea for your attention,” he replied.

Artemis it is then. With both Gunner and Tobias going for Zelena, it’s safe to say that I can go after Artemis, and trust that they will take care of her. It's their job, after all, both of them. We kept running towards the farmhouse but were stopped when we came to another battalion. This one, however, is much bigger than the last. Without a pause, we all dived in and fought. Blood was splattering everywhere and pained whimpers and dying howls echoed around us. It was a gruesome bloody scene. Not one that I ever wanted to see again. Not after Moon Light, not after what the hunters did to my pack. I've never liked killing. Hunter or Were. A life is a life.

“You’re a smart girl, Maxime. You know why we needed that information. Knowing what the vampires are planning and having a list of names makes our job easier to catch them and get rid of them, starting with their new blood supply. Noctua just needed someone brave enough to steal from them. Umbridge was desperate for money and fame, and he served his purpose. You need to understand that we work in the shadows for the service of all human beings. We are their protectors against anything that would want to use, kill or eat them. That’s why we need you and your abilities. Think of all the good it will bring if we multiply and control it.” “I’d like to leave,” I said drily. “You can’t. I won’t al

She gives me control and I shift and I hear Silas shift right after me. Silas The woman is another goddess, although I don’t know which one she is. She looks at Lux curiously and doesn’t seem to care about me. Suddenly, her eyes met mine and she smiled softly before saying, “I apologize for the hunt you two. I’m Artemis, the goddess of hunting, the wilderness, nature, chastity, and child birth. If I noticed your situation from the beginning then I never would’ve allowed anyone to hunt you.” My eyebrows furrow in confusion and Lux seems confused as well as she says, “I don’t know what you mean by ‘our situation’. But we appreciate you stopping the hunt.”

Or at least she had a hand in it. “Nyctimus will show you the way. He knows where it can be found. Only he who holds courage and strength from within can wield the dagger. You are justice you are the voice of reason; seek truth and you shall win.” Ashe croaks. She drops my hand and then looks at Mathias. “Arcas,” she calls to his beast and Mathias’ eyes light up, his silver orbs shining cosmically. “Arcas. I tried I promise I tried. She can and will come back. Both of them.”

Mariana explained with a heavy sigh. “A hunter bitch left a trap in the old mall the clan lives in? And you said this was over a month ago? She wouldn’t happen to have been an Egyptian bitch?” I asked, my sister, having my full attention. And given that Khalid was in my space, the call had his too. “Exactly. And Adio scumbag.” Mariana snorted. I want to tell her that Adio hunters aren’t all scum, but Khalid seems to be the only exception. I don’t count his sister. She’s a werewolf hybrid, not a hunter.

Hearing that they spent so much time like they were, I felt as if I could understand completely. Not to the degree they must have endured, but to be near the one they love but not be with them was torture all on its own. Plus, I understood what it was like to have something take control over your actions. Once again, not to their extent but I at least had a good idea. “We should probably let you know that just because the hunters are gone and we are no longer your enemy, Artemis isn’t finished with the lot of you. She fully intends to destroy everything because she believes it is rightfully hers.” Emma spoke when they pulled back to look at everyone.
