Chapter 19: The Ball It Should Have Been
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Izzy was almost feeling like a watered-down version of herself by the time they reached the ballroom, her arm wrapped around Thomas'. She noted several familiar faces and made effort to offer them a smile. It wasn't her normal cheerful smile and she could tell she was getting many confused, concerned glances. She supposed she wouldn't have to work too hard to feign sickness.
Thomas smiled down at her, "I don't suppose you'd save me your first dance?"
Izzy smiled back at him, "I'd be honored, Thomas." She allowed him to lead her toward the dance floor as Kate and Susanna watched with hawk eyes.
"Do you think we will have to stay long?" Kate asked Susanna.
"An hour maybe? Long enough to see the ambassador from Ellisvale so he can confirm we attended if it comes up later," Susanna responded.
"That is a good idea. We will need to make sure he sees Izzy, too," Kate said.
“Do you see him?” Susanna asked, glancing around the ballroom.

Izzy walked through the ballroom, her hand wrapped around the arm of her mate, Nate. She glanced up at him and felt her heart beating erratically. She saw the hungry look in his eyes and she looked away uncomfortably, not ready to explore that facet of the mate bond yet. He wasn't allowed to claim her, not until The Hunt started, but she was feeling more at ease with him. He might be willing to wait, she thought, if she asked. She looked ahead and saw Amelia walking into the ballroom on the arm of her mate, Cliff. His eyes found her almost immediately. He gazed at her hungrily and Izzy cringed in fear. His eyes gleamed in triumph as he surveyed her from top to bottom, his eyes stopping at her chest. She stepped back slightly, hiding partially behind Nate as she tried to escape from Cliff's gaze. Nate looked down at her in question. "I'm not feeling the best, maybe I should find Kate?" she said softly. Nate nodded and they worked their way around the room, looking fo
The Hunt Chapter 21: The Race Begins
The race was on. As soon as the first shot was fired, thousands of girls burst across the starting line running toward the forest and mountains in the distance. The air was pulsing with fear, anticipation, anxiety, panic, and excitement. Adrenaline filled the air and endorphins pulsed through the blood of the first group of runners. The scents were so mixed, it would have been a miracle to pinpoint one specific person at the starting line. The participants were grouped into two starts, the hunters and the prey. The prey had been let loose with the first shot. The prey had naturally split into three distinct groups once the first shot had been fired. The front group had taken off at a sprint, desperate to reach the trees as quickly as possible. They were hoping for a hiding place, anywhere they could wait out this year’s game. They were the panicked participants. They were desperate to go home alone another year, their optimism pushing them onward as their legs pumped as fas
The Hunt Chapter 22: Misleading Beginnings
“We’re going to catch them,” Seth said with confidence. Nate grunted his agreement. They were both looking at the place in the forest where the sisters had disappeared 15 minutes prior. Seth adjusted his pants to make himself more comfortable. The thought of having Kate in his arms was causing his cock to harden in response. There would be plenty of time for that later. “Want to make a bet on how long it will take you?” Logan said cheerfully, clapping Seth on the back. “Longer than you, that much is certain,” Seth grumbled as he watched Susanna slowly walk through the trees, shooting glances back at Logan as she went. She threw him a wink and took off at a jog, giving a feeble attempt at offering a chase. "I told you she didn't seem as invested in Izzy and Kate's plan," Logan smirked as he clapped Nate on the back cheerfully. He stood between the two Kreil and watched Susanna meander through the woods. Seth grunted his acknowledgment, noting h
The Hunt Chapter 23: The First Catch
119:30:00 A loud beep rent through the air and the bewitched time blinked several times in the afternoon sky. It was a universal signal to all participants that the second shot had been fired. Izzy jumped in startled panic and swung around to look behind them, convinced the hunters were going to show up any second to claim them. Kate still had a hold on her hand, leading her upriver. Kate squeezed her hand tight and pulled her arm upriver. “It’s ok, Iz. They’ll follow our initial scent trail first. Susanna had our clothes, remember? She will go the same way we did and lead them toward the cliffs where she’ll be able to hide. She took our clothes too so she can drop them along the way. She’s good, Iz. And she’s really fast, the best sprinter we have in Ellisvale, remember? She can buy us at least a day, maybe more,” Kate said softly. She ran her thumb along the back of Izzy’s hand as they walked through the knee-deep water. Izzy nodded as she looked at Kate, r
The Hunt Chapter 24: The Hunters Begin
As soon as the second shot rang out, Seth, Nate, and Logan took off after the raven-haired shifter who had taunted them not more than 10 minutes before. Logan was cursing under his breath the entire time. What he thought was going to be a quick catch was turning into quite the chase. His deflated dick was none too happy about the change of events in his hunt. The hunters were naturally separating into three groups, much like the prey. The front group took off quickly, they knew exactly what they wanted. They had found their mate in the days leading up to this hunt and were determined to bring back their mates today. If luck held out, they would be ready to mark their prize and carry them back to the castle before nightfall. What followed would be the inevitable days of sex and closing feasts before they took their mates home for their tribes to welcome. The second group of hunters was searching more slowly for a scent that would knock them over. They needed to find t
The Hunt Chapter 25: Never Trust a Lady in Need of a Break
Susanna was running faster than she ever had in her entire life. The look on Izzy's face when she heard her mate talking with Cliff would be etched in Susanna's mind for decades. It drove Susanna to sprint longer and harder than she ever had before. She weaved in the forest, following the path Amelia recommended. The path led out of the forest and along a rocky cliff. It descended slowly toward the easternmost part of the river before the river flowed out of sight into the neighboring territory. It was easier to run along this trail because the ground sloped downhill, gravity pulled her along. Susanna mentally checked the map she had seen, remembering the spot where Amelia had suggested leaving a fake trail. It would buy several hours at the very least while Susanna made better progress into the canyons to the secret tunnel across the canyon. That's what they needed most, more time. With a jolt, she heard the second shot, the men were off. She didn't have much time,
The Hunt Chapter 26: Keeping Watch
Izzy and Kate were still crouching behind the vines against the stone ledge several hours later. Unbeknownst to them, Susanna was running along the canyon and the men were hiking down into the canyon below, following the scent Susanna had placed as a decoy. Kate was assessing their situation on the ledge, wondering if they would see any other wolves coming their way. The time in the sky said they had evaded capture for over two hours. Every second that passed was one less second they had to hide, and Kate gratefully watched as the numbers counted down. 117:48:41 Kate heard a rustling in the leaves along the river and saw two men walking along the path, taking their time to sniff the area around the river. One of the men crouched down to look at the ground before standing up to look at the river. "She jumped in the river here. Damn it. I'm never going to pick up her scent again," he said, his frustration evident. He shook his head and rubbed his face. He look
The Hunt Chapter 27: False Leads
Susanna ran hard all day, stopping when she needed to take a quick break. She would gulp water and chew some jerky, swallowing it all down quickly. It was enough to energize her and keep her moving. She was determined to make camp on the other side of the canyon with a view of where she hoped Seth, Logan, and Nate had descended. Their descent would take a few hours, the rocks were sharp. With any luck, they would stop to investigate the smells as they went. Susanna was hopeful they would still be there by the time she made it to the other side of the canyon. She willed the plan to work. The canyon ran several miles from northwest to southeast on the land used for the Hunt. The river joined with the canyon at the upper northwest corner and flowed through to the adjoining kingdom. Susanna was running northwest along the southern border of the canyon, trying to find the bridge that Amelia had told her about. There was a rope bridge that crossed the canyon about two miles uprive

The Hunt Chapter 79: A Long Road Ahead
Amelia looked around the kitchens as she loaded her pack quickly. She knew she would need to make good time to reach the Fae Kingdom before the king was alerted to her absence, if he didn’t already know. She could have sworn he could read her mind when she saw him out the window just minutes before.She had left a letter in her room, she hoped it would be enough to keep the shifters from following her. She needed to escape. This was no life, living in the shadow of an abusive mate. She couldn't endure another overpowering; overwhelming mate and the king would prove to be just such a man.How could she live in the shadow of a man as powerful as the king? She couldn't, and she wouldn't. She would never be weak and helpless again. He gave up the right to a life with her when he left her at The Hunt seven years ago, his chance was gone.She hurried through the halls toward the front doors and jumped when she heard a loud trumpet blast. The army was off,
The Hunt Chapter 78: Home at Last
Izzy looked up into the kind eyes of her mate. How had she ever feared him? He was gazing at her lovingly as she moved back into their room. She turned to face him, aware that it was broad daylight and not caring one bit that the sun shone brightly around the room.She started to unbutton her dress and let it fall gracefully to her feet. Her chest rose and fell with each beat of her heart, her nerves getting the best of her. She stood in her shift and undergarments as she kept her eyes on Nate. He licked his lips, straining to stay in control. She smiled softly as she pulled the shift over her head and walked toward him. Her stomach twisted with nerves, but she kept her resolve. She was not helpless; she would not allow herself to be helpless again."I think it's time," she whispered to her mate. He looked down at her with confused eyes, unsure whether he should grab her and kiss her senselessly or put her clothes back on her. It hadn't been that long ago that sh
The Hunt Chapter 77: A New Course
Cliff found his release and sighed with the temporary relief he felt as he pulled out of the petite barmaid. She trembled as she rolled over onto the bed. The next shifter mounted her, ready to fulfill his darkest need before they had to leave. She froze on the bed and let him push his way into her. His groan filled the air and she pushed the pain away as she felt him fill her.“The shifters should be at the border by now, the Daikon will ride to meet them. They will have no reason to fight once they learn the truth of Izabelle but if all goes as planned, she will be left behind in Daikon. We will find her within the week,” Cliff said as he pulled his pants back on. He was not sated but it was enough to take the edge off and he would be able to ride to Daikon and find Izzy.“You think we will have her by week’s end?” Rikkard asked as he thrust into the barmaid, his hand wrapping around her neck as he held her firm against his brutal assaul
The Hunt Chapter 76: What Just Happened?
Izzy stared after the king, her gaze flickering to Amelia's room in concern."Do you think we should check on her?" Kate asked nervously.Izzy nodded firmly and took a step forward, knocking lightly on the door before opening it. She called out as she stuck her head around the large wooden slab, "Amelia? Are you alright?"Izzy heard a rustling in the room but didn't hear anything else. She could tell someone was moving around quickly in the room."Amelia?" Izzy called out as she walked into the room."Izzy?" Amelia looked up in surprise, her eyes wide as she glanced around at the other shifters that were walking toward her. She was moving about the room, putting things in her pack. It was obvious she intended to go somewhere. She had been muttering to herself as she worked and Izzy sat on the bed, watching Amelia walk around."What are you doing?" Kate asked. Izzy shot her a look."I'm pretty sure that's obvious," Izzy sai
The Hunt Chapter 75: The Memory of a Scent
The king walked through the soldiers. They were lined up to march south. The shifters were making better time than he could have predicted so they were marching out that night. He didn’t want the shifters to get so close to their women and children, they would fight to keep them back.Most of the warriors were men, but several women stood among the ranks. Daikon didn't care so long as you could fight. He came upon Matthias surveying the troops."How are we looking?" the king asked, glancing at Matthias, his brows drawn in question."Not as good as I would like, but we are prepared for battle," Matthias said as he nodded as if to reassure himself, they were sufficient."Make sure we have provisions, we leave as soon as we are ready," the king said as he walked off to talk with Theo.Matthias nodded in submission and walked away to check on the supplies they would bring with them on the march to the mountain pass.The king walked through
The Hunt Chapter 74: Tie Up Loose Ends
Firam was determined to have Emilie. He couldn’t march to war and potential death without letting her know that she was his. She would be his until his dying breath, no matter how long or short his life may be, no matter how desperate she was to leave him. She was his.He stormed up the stairs toward her room. They marched out at dawn and he had no idea what fate lay ahead of him with war looming. He knocked on her door and waited. His heart was racing, he didn’t want to mess this up but he needed her to know. He needed her to understand.The door opened slowly, a small crack. There was just enough room for him to see her wide, terrified eyes looking out at him.“Can I come in?” he asked gently, his heart was in his throat but he somehow managed to keep his voice calm. It was a miracle that she nodded and opened the door, retreating back to the bench in front of the fireplace.Firam opened the door wide and stepped inside, closing
The Hunt Chapter 73: Preparing for War
Amelia could feel the tension in the air. Something was going on, something that she wasn’t privy to. It was an odd feeling not to be in the inner circle, to know firsthand what was happening.The generals had rung the war bell an hour earlier and dragons had descended on the courtyard from all over the kingdom. Word had spread and warriors were accumulating in droves. There were easily a thousand men and women being organized into groups, waiting for orders.Amelia knew something big was happening. The murmurs and dark looks being sent their way made her shift uncomfortably on her seat. She could feel the fury from the dragons. She could feel the lack of welcome. She decided the only option to get information was to seek out those who could tell her. She saw a dark-haired woman walking toward Susanna and Logan. Amelia decided she would listen in on the conversation.“We need shifters to go with us to the border, to stop the war before it even starts
