Hunter 29: Sincere WordsHades Rashid DavidsonMy heart ached as I watched Sabrina cowering in the corner, her body trembling with fear. The blanket wrapped around her seemed to offer her a little solace, her sobs muffled but still audible.I approached her cautiously, my voice soft and reassuring. “Shhh… I’m here,” I whispered as my arms outstretched. I felt her jolted in surprise as I continued, “You’re safe,” my voice filled with tenderness, trying to calm her. “No one will hurt you here.” I gently pulled her into my embrace, but the blanket was separating us.Abruptly, I was struck by flashbacks of that night in Primrose City during the rainstorm, the night I had first witnessed her terror. The sight of her fear had sent a wave of dread through me, a primal instinct to protect her at all costs.I’d seen her dread, the panic that had taken over her that evening, firsthand. It was a nightmare I never wanted to repeat, a terrifying sight that had become imprinted on my mind. Luckily
Hunter 30: A Moment of EcstasyA sigh of relief left my mouth as I finished talking. I had finally said the words I had been longing to express, my confession a weight lifted from my chest. Yet, a sense of vulnerability lingered, a fear that my words might not be enough to bridge the gap between us.As I watched Hades sleep, my eyes filled with a mix of affection and appreciation. I know I am drawn to him, my heart captivated by his strength, his kindness, and his unwavering devotion.Our connection was deep, a bond that transcended words. But I can’t also help but think about the differences between us. They know I am a human, a mortal in a world of immortals, while he is a powerful Alpha.‘Burdened by the weight of his responsibilities.’He was sleeping soundly, but as I traced his face, his hand, a warm and large hand suddenly wrapped around mine. My eyes widened in surprise as he opened his eyes, a look of pure joy on his face welcomed me.“You’re worth it,” he said in a deep, bar

Hunter 1: Weird DreamI woke up and realized I was in a strange place. However, the fact that I’m in the middle of a forest confuses me. I was alone myself when I felt the cold breeze brush over my skin, and it startled me. I dislike feeling the chilly wind on my skin. Being here is terrifying for me.I begin to look into my surroundings, but the longer I stay here, the more frightened I am. Merely having the moonlight illuminate me, this gloomy forest terrifies me. That is, until I heard a distant, gentle voice calling my name, and my feet automatically walked to follow it.“Sabrina…”Anticipating to see who owns that voice, I turn to glance around. However, even though I’ve been hearing and following that voice, I can’t seem to figure out who owns it. I’m beginning to feel afraid, yet every time I hear that calm, oddly familiar voice, my worry subsides.“Sabrina…”“Who are you?!” This time, I decided to speak with that person, but I got no response, and my voice merely reverberated
Hunter 2: The SignI was left wondering about what Raine had told me yesterday. She appears to know something but has no intention of telling me. I also find it difficult to accept that I am curious about something I am not interested in.All of it resulted from that strange dream. Here we are, bidding our cousins farewell in front of the mansion. The three are saying farewell to everyone as they prepare to leave today. As I felt silent sadness at their departure, Raine came up to me and gave me a warm embrace.“Keep in mind, Brina…” she looked directly at me and added, “You mustn’t let your curiosity drive you if you don’t want your normal life to be taken away from you.” All I could do was nod solemnly.She is serious again and she appears to be warning me: ‘Is it because of what I said yesterday?’ She hugged me again, followed by her two brothers. Before their car eventually drives away, we say our goodbyes one more.I sighed when we no longer saw their car, as I was left in deep
Hunter 3: The LetterI swallowed hard as a wave of emotions passed through me, but I pulled myself together and took the envelope my grandfather handed me. I’m at a loss for words as I hold the envelope. My heart was racing as I continued to process what I had discovered.I am no ordinary? Then why do my parents want me to have an ordinary life?As I was thinking about why they wanted me to have an ordinary life, I heard my grandfather’s voice again: “I know you’re wondering why your parents want you to live a normal life, but you’ll only understand them once you open that envelope, my dear granddaughter.”Feeling my tears start to fall, I turn to look at him. “In my dream… even though I can’t remember the woman’s face and her voice, I am certain that it was… m-mom,” my voice trembled as tears streamed down my cheeks.My heart aches for a variety of reasons. But, most of all, the dream I had about my mother that I can’t even remember! In that dream, only my emotions seemed vivid, and
Hunter 4: One Step at a TimeHis demeanor shifted, and he appeared both pleased and proud. He grinned at me before saying, “That is the Sabrina I know. But…” he sighed, advancing towards me. “I just can’t tell you everything I know about you. You’re strong and determined, but I don’t want to overwhelm you with information. It should be taken one step at a time, as your parents said.”My expression softened as I looked at my grandfather, who was staring back at me with worry. With that kind of stare, how am I supposed to resist and assure him that I can take it? I know he solely cares about me, but how can I make him tell me everything?With a sigh, I looked at him beseechingly and asked, “But could you at least tell me that you aren’t doing anything ‘illegal’?”It has been on my mind since I woke up, which is why I said those things. I simply cannot image my family going after those ‘supernatural’ creatures and using them for experiments or even killing them. I trust them, yet I still
Hunter 5: The First StepThe world of vampires, werewolves, and archmages is called Lunaria Realm. It consists of one imperial kingdom, three other kingdoms, and their respective major cities and towns. Vampires and werewolves have a larger population than archmages, hence their kingdom is slightly smaller than others.Primrose City served as the capital of the Archmages and was located in the Everdeen Kingdom, the land of spellcasters. Primrose City comprises five towns: Rosewood, Seeria, Norfolk, Mistvale, and Edgeville.Crimson Kingdom is ruled by bloodsuckers where the Crimrose City is located. It has five towns: Valence, Vesperia, Ashenvale, Gilramore, and Rivendell Town. Whereas Crescent Kingdom—whose capital city was named Crestwood City—was the territory of shapeshifters. Its towns include Riverwoods, Eldrida, Zarmithia, Lavereena, and Euphria.There are clan leaders in every town, and those leaders are also the nobility in the Imperial Palace. They are vassals and hence wield
