The Hunting Party Book Novels & Stories

Cain and Maddie were nearby, their faces alight with a cruel, eager kind of excitement. Caius and Sylvia led the party. “The great stag of these woods has been seen,” Caius announced, his voice carrying. “A noble prize for a noble guest.” We pushed deeper. The trees closed in. The perfect place for an “accident.” Then, the horns sounded. The stag had been flushed. Chaos erupted the thunder of hooves, the shouting of hunters, the baying of hounds. It was the chaos they’d wanted. “Stay with me!” Thorne barked over the noise, his horse pressing closer to mine.

Away they went. Three hours had elapsed, yet the tournament raged on. The Red Moon pack held its lead, though the Dark of the Gods pack was a close second. In the third game, referred to as the hunt, both teams would venture into the woods together with ropes for hiding and seeking. The hunt begins with a gunshot once they've found their hiding place. Whoever gets tired will lose, and the winner will have to bring the loser to the front to see everyone in the crowd. When it was Dawn turn, she wasted no time finding a place to hide. Her familiarity with the area allowed her to pinpoint the best hiding places. What excited her most about the hunting game was competing against Malachi, her best

Luna, her pregnancy not hindering her spirit, prepared with the pack for the essential hunt. In the Nampa forest, hunting wasn't just about the thrill of the chase; it was a sacred act, deeply rooted in the pack's respect for their enchanted home. They hunted only what they needed, ensuring the delicate balance of their realm remained undisturbed. Luna, with her keen eyes and agile movements, exemplified this reverence for the forest.

I nodded to Xavier, he had every right to hate me, and if that made him feel better, then I would take it. I closed my eyes as he raised the knife and waited for him to plunge it deep into my chest. To be continued… (This book is a Duet, the Hunter and The Hunted. The Hunted i still being written, please see my website for more information. It is on my to be written list after I finish my final revisions of my main series and the spin off completion.)

Eventually, it was just an annoying buzz. “This should be a good spot as any,” I stopped and told the team as we approached a clearing. “What are you doing?” I heard someone ask from behind me. Annoyed, I turned and faced General Abtez. “Don’t you have a prisoner to interrogate General Abtez?” “I do, and if I recall, you have a mission as well.” “Our mission was to find the vampire and bring him to the pack if we couldn’t get answers from him. We did that.”

The moon shone beautifully on the surface of the earth, the wind danced gently like it was welcoming the descent of angels. “Where are we going?” A young lady in a red dress questioned the man holding her hands as he led her through the forest. “Shush Selena, don’t you know demons lurk in this forest?” The man dressed in casual clothing teased his girlfriend but all this made her giggle like a schoolgirl, the leaves soon rustled, it was coming from behind the thick bushes and trees.

Ramsy boasted. Delta Ramsy mustered little heed to Higgins' pitiful state as the spat to the soon to-be corpse in his wake. Hunters were members of the resistance, who were mostly humans that had their only goal to be liberating their people and domineering the greater mass of carnivorous beast that desired to usurp any attempts they made to establish a system like theirs or breed enough to try. Higgins' life was dangling on a thin thread, his hands laid across the two ends of the baracade by chains anchored to his wrists and a weakened resolve from that death that just insisted on taking its time before truly drawing the life out of him.

But they didn't listen to my words and continued cleaning the furniture. Brian placed his bag on the counter, grabbed a piece of cloth and went to help others. “Hey, what are you doing?” I asked Brian. “We can finish it quickly if we clean together.” He answered me back. I couldn't stand them so I joined them too. While cleaning, Harry said, “If the situation goes on like this, I wonder how it will be during Christmas?” Morgan, “Why do you think like that?” “I heard so many people reserved tables for the Christmas party event at the Cats and Dogs store. I wonder if people will visit our place after going to that party.”

“First do Vampires drink animal blood?” “Some do in a pinch. What are you thinking Cass?” BoldR replied. “Well we get a hunting party together. The vampires feast on the blood of the animals. Field dress the bounty of the hunt and we feed the rest. Duncan you and BoldR lead up the hunting party, I and Ogra will head up a harvesting party with those who are well enough to help.“ Cassia looked at everyone hoping for approval.

It was the largest hunting party Lexi had ever seen. Hundreds of hunters. Rows of archers. Scouts. Trap specialists. Every one of them prepared for war. Harlan Dawson mounted his horse and looked over the assembled force. "Move out!" The massive gates creaked open. One by one, the hunters disappeared into the forest. Standing near the front, Gretonia watched them leave with quiet satisfaction. His gloved hands rested atop his cane as a slow smile spread across his face. "The pieces are finally moving..." He murmured softly enough that only he could hear.
