Star Rank Hunter Novels & Stories

"How did you find yourself in that fix anyway, Jasper the panther, as dad likes to call you?" "We were attacked." Theodore's eyes rest on me but he says nothing to me and turns to Jasper. "And dad? You were dining with dad tonight." Now I understand why Jasper has been agitated. "I'm sorry Theodore, your father was shot by the attackers," Jasper says. Theodore's eyes flash in rage and he yells. "He was shot by the attackers? What about you? What did you do? Why didn't they shoot you?" Jasper just watches him silently. Then Theodore starts to laugh.

Stryker’s smile widens as he extends his hand to shake Hunter’s hand. “And you must be Hunter? It’s nice to finally meet one of the Confradia’s top tech geniuses.” Hunter swallows hard and shakes his hand enthusiastically. “Ah, man, this is so cool. Stryker Owens knows who I am.” He says to me with a little boy’s enthusiasm.

He wanted something from me. It's a good thing he revealed it now because I was eventually going to figure it out myself anyway. “I know, but that's not just any ordinary marking. That's a healer’s marking, it doesn't matter the clan you are from, it's all the same pattern, every werewolf healer gets that kind of marking on their wrist” Hunter told me but I only scoffed and rolled my eyes. I've never seen anyone as ridiculous and desperate as him.

He stared at me for a few more seconds before he finally decided to talk. “What are you going to do with me?” The hunter asked in the same fearful voice. I sneered at him. Why was this hunter so fearful? I knew that I caught him, but shouldn’t he at least have a little backbone? I looked down and noticed the badge on his chest. I spotted a badge similar to what Phoenix had shown me in the cave. But unlike Phoenix’s badge, this one only had a single star on it. I remembered what Phoenix said. A one star invocate.

I struggle to get off his grasp and smack his chest repeatedly. He chuckled between our kiss and I had the urge to chomp down his lips when he pulled away and moved swiftly to my neck. At that moment, I felt something zap me to the core. “Okay, then. Goodnight!” Mom yells before the sound of her footsteps slowly died in the corridor. Hunter moved away, his unique blue eyes set dead on my neck. I froze. “What did you do?” I asked, my voice laced with horror and fear. He looked at me and smiled one devilish but handsome smile. “I marked you,” I froze. “And now you’re mine,”

Hunter said and continued. "You know we had one more member in our gang. Her name was Sarah. She was like our family. The girl was in love with Rasmus. When she turns 18 she found out Rasmus was her mate but then everything stopped during the rogue attack, and she was killed. She was like a sister to me. I loved her as much as I loved Aurora and Angela. But she left us. It broke us apart but Moon Goddess sent Catherine and she named her baby Sarah," Hunter rasped. His eyes were misty.

Arrows sang through the smoke like whispers meant to kill. Jet made a break for it but before he could escape something faster struch him. Thwack!—an arrow nailed him to a wooden beam. He screamed once before another arrow found his throat. The room vanished into smoke. White tendrils coiled around broken pillars. Shadows flickered fast, quiet, merciless. Three figures stepped into the storm like ghosts walking through fire. The first tall, coat snapping at his heels, steel in his eyes didn’t slow. Calvin Hunt. The man whose name made wolves flinch. Custom shotgun in hand, still smoking.

kay, so he gets points for having more skill than I would give a hunter credit. I always figured hunters used whatever bits of magic they picked up to hunt us down and find new inventive ways to kill us. Though I suppose being able to disguise themselves as well as Khalid’s Clark Kent glasses would help them better infiltrate and make stealth kills if their target could recognize them.

"She stayed behind." He sat back, studying me. "Do you know where the nest is?" "No. I was unconscious when I arrived and blindfolded when we left." He nodded. "Why were you shadow hunting?" "We were searching for our brother. The scorchers were searching for one of their own." "You know I'm obligated to report this." "I know," I said, spinning my ring. And now for the next part. If I'd trusted him enough to say this much... What did I have left to loose? My odds were already near impossible.

The woman reached for it. "What are you doing?" Cael asked. "Maybe she's like us," said Damon. "Not everyone with the ability is like us, Damon," said Cael. "What's this card for?" Raven asked. Damon and Cael looked at her. "What company is this A? And what is a teen hunter?" Cael's eyes widened, and so did Damon's widened smile on his lips. Raven frowned at them. ----- "You should die." "Are you crazy?" Kyra said in shock. "I do not believe you."
