Hunter-I guess this was the moment I had been expecting. Pack members were gathering around to prepare for the oncoming attack, while I was dragging my feet. I no longer wanted anything to do with any of this, at least not what Artemis wanted me to do.Since arriving here, I have been following Kyra around. Occasionally I would go off on my own as I did some exploring, trying to figure out what was so dangerous about this pack. From what I could see, it was just a large family that was trying to live their lives.This Caleb guy didn’t seem that bad either. Granted, I felt a tinge of jealousy when I saw him with Kyra, but for the most part, I didn’t mind it either. He seemed to care a great deal for her, which I couldn’t fault.As I listened and watched, I have come to wonder if this Hunter they kept mentioning, was me. If it was, then Artemis has been lying to me from the start. I questioned what I was supposed to even do with what she wanted me to do.Getting to Caleb, yeah that see
Kyra-There were so many of them, it was like they just kept coming. Everyone was barely holding their own as it were. Not to mention it was hard to help anyone, due to being busy with multiple attacks at once.Even with my abilities, and the abilities of every other Demi-god, we were losing. Whatever was going on, these hunters weren’t human, or they had some help from something else. Maybe the information we had was correct, they could be working with a Goddess.Currently, I was doing everything I could just to fend the hunters off, but everything I threw at them wasn’t working. They just kept coming back for more. It would be better if I had access to my own abilities, instead of tapping into whatever power my unborn children were giving me.“Kyra, behind you!” Caleb yelled from across the field.Looking over my shoulder, I saw a wolf coming toward me. I recognized the wolf immediately, but it wasn’t one of our own, at least not anymore. Mel was here and it was clear she was workin
Hunter-Since hearing I had a wolf, which I still wasn’t convinced, he has been trying to get me to remember things. Nothing he said worked, but I couldn’t deny that there was something oddly familiar about the things he was saying. As much as I was curious about what the hell was going on, I was also distracted.When I had seen Kyra being grabbed, I almost rushed to aid her. I would have too if Ace didn’t warn me not to. According to him, everyone believes that I have been dead all this time, even though I assured him I wasn’t.Then he told me if I wanted to help them, I needed to shift because the bond between me and, according to him, my wolf wasn’t complete. He walked me through how to shift, but I didn’t see how any of that was possible. Okay, I guess it was possible, just I didn’t see how it was possible for me.“You can deny it all you want, but I know you feel our bond. It isn’t as strong as it was before, but I need you to trust me. If you don’t accept that you are a werewolf
Kyra-Opening my eyes, I thought maybe I had just dreamed of everything that had happened. Except when my vision cleared, I was looking into very familiar eyes, Hunter’s. I thought maybe I was dreaming because there was no way Hunter could be here right now.“Are you okay?” Hunter’s voice filled my ears, causing tears to well up in my eyes.“Is it really you?” I whispered, afraid that if I spoke too loudly, he would disappear.He seemed to weigh my question heavily, but it was no mistake, it was him. I could tell by the way he looked at me, it was slightly different, but his eyes were very much his. Reaching up, I placed my hand against the side of his face, just needing to touch him.This couldn’t be possible, we buried his body, yet he felt warm to the touch. Just touching him, I felt the same butterflies in my stomach every time I touched him. The only thing that was missing was that familiar tingle from our bond.“Uh, well that seems to be the question of the day. You see, I hear
Hunter- There was no real way of knowing if this was going to work. For all I knew, I was going to get us both killed. Ace was sure we could protect Kyra, although I had my doubts. “Are you sure about this?” I asked Kyra the moment I shut the door behind us. “I think this is going to work, it has to.” She whispered as we moved further into the house. I didn’t need to ask where the hunters were, since I could smell them the moment we neared the stairs. It was strange that my senses were on high alert right now. I could even hear the way Kyra’s heart was beating rapidly in her chest. Trying to ignore the doubt that was practically screaming in my head, I lead her up the stairs. If I was going to play this off, I was going to have to be more callous with her. The idea of hurting her just to make them believe I was on their side, wasn’t something I was looking forward to. Reaching the second-floor landing, I paused for a minute to weigh my options. There had to be a way I could
Kyra-“Get the door open!” I screamed as I tried to push the door open by force with all my might.“We are trying, but the damn thing is jammed or something.” My brother Alec yelled.When the door had shut, nothing I tried or anyone else tried would get it to open. It was apparent they were using some sort of magic. Currently, my brothers were trying to reactivate the power dampeners that had come back on.I didn’t know what the creature was, but if it was connected to Artemis, we might be in trouble. I haven’t met her yet, but I heard a little about her. According to my mother, she felt entitled to my mother’s status.She was also the Goddess of War, which meant it was no wonder we were dealing with something to this extreme. The question I kept asking myself was when did the bird guy show up, considering I hadn’t seen it until just a bit ago. Now Hunter was in there with him and the other hunters.There was no way I was going to lose him again after just getting him back. Right now,
Caleb-I wasn’t completely shocked by Hunter being alive, but I was surprised when he showed up. I still remember when Zeke had told me what he had done. I didn’t think it had been possible for Hunter to return like this, yet I couldn’t deny that I was glad he was back.I fully admit that this had put a kink in things, especially where Kyra was concerned. Things were complicated right now, but I would do anything to make her happy. Currently that was keeping this weird-ass creature away from Hunter.As I watched Kyra help Hunter, I felt mixed emotions. The one thing that stood out above all else, was that I was happy to see them like this. With him not remembering this it was different, but the look on Kyra’s face made me feel as if she was now whole.It was like until Hunter arrived, she had been broken inside. I couldn’t wait for this mess to be over with so we could discuss what to do next. First, we needed to do something with these disgusting creatures.“Now, tell me what is goin
Kyra-I wished Darius was staying, but I understood his desire not to get mixed up in this war more than he has already been. It would have been nice to get to know him some more though. There was one thing I was completely sure about though, with Hunter, we would stand together and face this new threat, just as Caleb said.“Very well, but I do hope you are making the right choice. When the time is right, I will return to get to know you.” Darius spoke, his eyes harboring a bit of regret. He then turned to Zac and a wide smile appeared on his face. “It is good to see you brother, it has been a long time.”“Yes, it has.” Zac returned his smile and then moved to stand directly in front of Darius. “If I had known…” His voice trailed off as he looked down at the ground.“Don’t think another minute of it.” Darius shook his head and pulled Zac into a brotherly hug. “It probably would have happened to one of us eventually. Artemis will stop at nothing to get to our mother.”“You could have r
