“We can worry about Khalid’s first impression with the vampire clan later. We should focus on having a plan in place for dealing with the magic.” Aunt Sarael chided as we walked into her home. It was bigger than her place in Eugene. It looked more like a home meant for a family. I suppose now that she’s mated, it won’t be long before that happens. The pitter-patter of little hybrid feet will race across these hardwood floors. I’ll have cousins who are over a decade younger than me. Thinking about that possibility led my mind down another path. Isis is mated, and as long as everything goes right will be a Luna. She’ll be expected to have an heir and probably sooner than later. I’ll be an Uncle. That scares the shit out of me. “If Ductus Caleb offers aid, be it full force or just the help of Byron to detect the magic, we must still be able to shut it down.” Aunt Sarael sighed, going directly into the study at the front of the house. I cautiously followed her, glancing back at John and

It’s crazy the amount of shit you miss when you sleep the day away. I’d like to say my sleep was peaceful. After sleeping in the backseat of a car, having a bed should have allowed me to rest without issue. The problem is this bed, the whole apartment, and the building smell of werewolves. I’m not saying werewolves smell, but well, they do. Then add in going to bed sexually frustrated. Between Khalid’s Aunt Sarael and her guard interrupting us, he had to go and talk about his fucking ex. Seriously, who does that? That would be like me discussing past lovers casually while he’s fucking me. It’s damn rude. I suppose I should count myself lucky he’s too young to have as long of a list of exes as mine. I don’t want to hear about that twit. So overall, my sleep was not restful to begin with. And when I did fall asleep, those stupid nightmares about Toño killing my son have now morphed into him killing Khalid. I don’t know which is worse, and that’s fucking with me. The correct answer sho

“I’m assuming he is informing someone we are on the move,” Khalid commented as he handed me a hooded jacket. “I was telling Nigel we are going. He will follow us to ensure Isis’s safety.” Kurt shrugged. “Nigel can detect the presence of others. He’ll know if anyone is following us or if danger is incoming.” Isis explained as we headed to the car. That’s a valuable skill. Nice to know the wolf is as helpful as handsome. Yes, I thought that specifically to annoy Khalid. This wasn’t the first time we’ve had to make this walk to a car while the sun was still up. I shrugged the jack on, pulling the hood up to hide, looping an arm with Khalid using his frame like a shield from the sun. So he knows the deal. We walked at the same pace, and he ensured his shadow blocked the sun with every step. “You can drive since you know where you’re going,” Khalid said, tossing the keys at Kurt with one hand while swiftly opening the rear passenger door for me to get in. I told them earlier I didn’t ne

I’m unsure how I feel knowing that Dani has spoken to Dania. I can only assume Dania would call because the guild was hoping to get my location from it. So, it explains why my phone was destroyed so suddenly, and I had to get a new one. Now I’m curious what they spoke about. We didn’t have anything left to say to each other after I broke up with her. Maybe she had things to say. I just don’t want to hear them. I can ask her about that later. I’ll add it to the list of things we should talk about. I’m sure she’ll want to know more details about what happened while she was asleep, and I’ll fill her in on most of it. I will skip the nightmare fuel walking into the greenhouse at John and Aunt Sarael’s house. I would like to forget it ever happened. It’s bad enough I’ve heard them having sex. Dani does not need to hear about the trauma of walking in on my Aunt’s hand in John’s pants while his hands were pushing her shirt up as they were a few moments from fucking on the wooden table in th

“How old is the girl?” Caleb questioned. “Eight, maybe nine. We didn’t even know Kurt had a sibling until recently when she came of age for the family link to click into place. And then security footage of her parents using her to steal something from a vault six years ago.” Isis explained. “She was young in the video, a toddler at best. Siegfried and his mate used their daughter to steal my inheritance from my grandmother.” Kurt explained with a heavy sigh. “Steal your inheritance? What did they steal, and why would they need a toddler for that?” Caleb inquired. I could see the hesitation in Kurt’s face as he looked at Isis, probably sharing a private conversation on how much to share. “A silver scepter. It is enchanted only to let the rightful Alpha of the Silverclaw pack hold it. My grandmother was the last in our line who could hold it. Obviously, Siegfried wasn’t able to. And given it is made of silver, he used my sister as she was too young to be injured by silver to take it.

I knew I shouldn’t have left Caleb alone with Khalid. He doesn’t always know when to keep his mouth shut. I don’t know what he told Khalid. I know it’s got him annoyed with me. Not the good “I’m getting fucked hard later” kind of annoyed. The “I’m going to have to answer questions” annoyed. When I find out what happened while I was busy proving to Mariana which of us is stronger, I’m kicking Caleb’s ass. I almost wanted Caleb to tell them no. It’s selfish, of course. I don’t want to deal with Khalid and Byron in one place. I know Bryon, and he will act like a stupid jealous ass when he finds out Khalid is my mate. But I’ll put my selfish desire not to deal with that drama to secure the safety of this child. I don’t have to know Kurt or this sister he never knew. She’s a child, and hurting children is my no-go rule. A rule I know Caleb follows too. He had a kid before he was turned, so he has a soft spot on that subject. So I wasn’t surprised that after hearing that a child was involv

Damn it. Dani distracted me with sex. Well, a blow job and then sex. But still, I had been set that I would get answers as soon as we were alone. It shows how little control I have over myself when I’m with her. I would say it’s because she marked me, but that would be a lie. She pushes my buttons all the right way to get me into a lust frenzy. But I managed to get my mind back on track after that lust haze faded. I didn’t think this would be some light-hearted talk, but I wasn’t prepared for how heavy it would be. When Dani got out of bed, I thought maybe it was to pace, but she put my shirt on, and that was my first clue this was going to be a serious conversation. If I’ve learned anything about Daniela, it’s that she’s not shy. She owns her body and wields it like a weapon. At least against me, it feels. I can’t count how many times she stayed naked if we argued after she woke up or if she woke up during the day. She didn’t even throw a robe on when hotel staff came in to clean or

I was awake and had my fill of blood before it was time for us to leave. I heard all about Khalid’s sparring with Nigel and that he won. Here’s hoping these wolves will start giving him more credit. But soon enough, it was time to head out. I’m not sure how tonight will go, and I don’t just mean the retrieval of the girl. Byron will be there, and I hope he doesn’t try to make a scene. Twenty of us were divided into vehicles to be part of the infiltration. Of course, Khalid and I ended up in the car with his sister, her mate, and the Kinsley brothers. I’m not sure if that was for our benefit or theirs. Probably a mixture as they still want to keep an eye on us. In our vehicle, tensions were running high. For the Kinsley brothers, this was a chance to put down their treacherous Sub-Beta, and for Kurt and Isis, this was the first step to taking their pack. So I won’t fault Isis for visibly being worried. “It’s going to be fine. Just stick close to me. I don’t want you getting too far f

You miss many things when you’re a nocturnal being like me. I love being a mom and raising Zory with Khalid. But I know I miss out on a lot during the day. It makes it hard knowing that I’ve missed her firsts because I was sleeping. Even if Khalid records things so I can watch them later, it’s not the same. After I missed her first steps at nine months, I decided I needed to modify my sleep schedule. After all, I can safely walk around the house during the day. I can’t go outside with her to play during the day. So instead of waking up just after sunset, I started getting up three hours before sunset to spend time with her. I can’t ever wholly flip my schedule. I am still a vampire, and night is the only time I can leave the house. Plus, my Delta duties are centered around being the one nocturnal member of the ranked leadership. I am the one the pack comes to first for any emergencies after dark. I am the one in charge of the overnight patrol units. So I will never spend an entire da
The Hunted Hunter Epilogue - Khalid
Things moved so fast after we came home with Zory. We looked around Mount Adams and found an existing house we could agree on. From there, it was a matter of waiting for all the windows to be replaced with specialized windows that would block the harmful UV rays of the sun so that no matter what time of day it was, Dani could walk past a window without worrying if blackout curtains were drawn. Then it was a matter of furnishing the four bedrooms, three and a half bath, just over four thousand one hundred square foot home. Did we need a house that big? Probably not. But it has a guest suite that Dani thought would be perfect for Agustín to crash in when he comes to visit. Then Zory gets a bedroom, and we plan to use the fourth bedroom as her playroom. This may sound like a lot, but the amount of crap we’ve been gifted from the pack is insane. These people barely survived, living as rogues when we took Noya down. Now they’ve all been given jobs working either for companies that are par

Once at Aunt Sarael’s house, everyone quickly made their way to the living room, waiting impatiently for us to explain what was happening. How I have a baby and who the guy Dani punched is. “Alright, so I guess I’ll start at the beginning. I know you have many questions, but if you wait till I’ve finished before asking, I may answer them with what I’m about to say.” I started. “So, when Dani and I left Mount Adams, it was to handle personal business. That personal business was on my half, addressing the issue of dad and his bounty on me with the guild. And for Dani, it was revenge against her father who killed her mother, and she believed he killed her son the day he was born and later turned her and her sister into vampires.” “He thought it would be easier to start with the guild,” Dani explained, shifting Zory in her arms as she fed her a bottle. “An American hunter with a horrid name of Blaine, that Khalid failed to ensure was dead was turned into a vampire and helped broker a d

I don’t know who handled the flight worse, Zory or the cats. I felt a little empathy for the cats, but what little sympathy I had seemed to go down every time Asim would reach out from his carrier to take a swing at Dani or when Jordan or Keith would leave the cockpit to get food or use the bathroom. I know he was trained to distrust and attack all supernatural beings from a young age, but he will need to learn to get along with certain ones. At least the kittens seemed better about it than him, but they are young, so we can train them to accept certain vampires and werewolves as allies. I know it can be done. As I know Asim can understand, not all supernatural beings are evil. He must have known Isis was a hybrid all this time but still loved and protected her. Especially after her cat passed away, he took on the guardian role for both of us. Sure she had her cat, but that didn’t stop me from finding Asim curled up in her lap or on her bed. So I have high hopes he can be retrai

I never understood the phrase ‘slept like a baby.’ And while babies do not sleep for long periods, they generally have a restful sleep, having no real fears or concerns to weigh on their minds. I prefer to sleep like a log or like the dead. That was not happening with Zory in the room. She’s a newborn and was up every couple of hours, needing to be fed and changed. But once her needs were met, she went back to sleep. During one of her feedings, I managed to stop Sameer, the real one this time, in the hall and ask if there have been any messages for Khalid or me. He seemed confused that I knew his name, which reminded me that all my interactions with him weren’t him. But he had a note from Agustín telling me that he would meet us in Portland as Auðr was playing a festival in New Orleans, and it was easier for him to get to Portland than back here to Egypt. We won’t see him for at least another day or longer. I kept reminding myself I’d waited sixty years so that I could wait a few day

It’s getting hard to differentiate my emotions from Dani’s. We were both getting angry the most Diana talked. This was all some elaborate setup orchestrated by her? She’s just admitted to being the puppet master. Each time she opens her mouth, she’s digging a deeper grave. And when I think she’s going to hammer in that last nail, she says the most unexpected and absurd thing yet. I shook my head. “That’s not possible. No supernatural being could survive a photokinesis attack from an angel. They call it the Holy White Light for a reason. It cleanses a room of any supernatural being the light touches. Dani only survived because I shielded her with my human body and that table.” Dani struggled to find words, but her face hardened as she gripped Diana tightly. She finally found words, and they were laced with rage. “Agustín couldn’t have survived that blast. He was part of the ash pile with Toño. So stop telling me lies to save your neck. You orchestrated all this and thought you got t
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 57 - Daniela
I had a sinking feeling as we followed Sameer away from the others. I don’t know if it’s a sign of danger ahead or just that I’m numb. Some may suggest that I’m still processing my father’s and son’s deaths. They are only half right. There is nothing to process about Toño’s death. I’ve yearned for his death for decades. The only regret I have, other than I lost my son a second time, is that I didn’t kill him myself. I have a lot to unpack and process regarding Agustín. Both that he was alive all this time and that he died again. I still plan to corner Diana soon and drill her about that tidbit. Because if she has known all along that my son was alive… I don’t know what I’ll do. I may beat her within an inch of her life or kill her straight up. All I know for sure is if she’s kept my son’s existence from me our whole friendship, she’s dead to me. There was a lot that I was dreading about entering the room Sameer had to unlock. For all I knew, this was a double cross, and we were about
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 56 - Khalid
I don’t know what’s harder to believe. That Diana is here simply because she was Toño’s prisoner or Sameer supporting me had created a domino effect within the others from the guild down here. I’m going to go with the latter. It isn’t that I find Sameer believing me a hard pill to swallow. He’s been my best friend since we were in diapers. He is to me what Silvercloud is to Kurt. The person will always have your back, even if you lead them down stupid paths. “Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for the support. But other than Sameer, I find it hard to believe that you believe my words. We’ve all worked together as hunters, and while your dislike of me was never as apparent as Blaine’s, I still knew most of you didn’t like me because I was the Adio heir. So why believe me? Or is it more than you believe Sameer?” I questioned. “Khalid, my dear friend, have some more faith in your brethren than that. No one ever disliked you.” Sameer sighed, stepping closer. I arched an eyebrow because we kno
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 55 - Daniela
This is my worst nightmare coming to life. Toño is holding Khalid by the throat, his hand ready and itching to rip his heart out. He takes pleasure in killing people I care about, especially in front of me. I can’t let this happen! I can’t lose Khalid. Of course, the damn asshole would choose NOW to tell me he loves me. I haven’t heard those words since I was human. My backstabbing piece of trash boyfriend whispered them along with promises of marrying me and starting a family in America. Cirilo may not have meant it, or at least not unconditionally, but Khalid does. I can feel it through our bond. I started to move, hoping to get there fast enough. I won’t let Khalid die. I will not let my nightmare become a reality. I can’t just wake up and reach for his half of the bed to be sure he’s safe. This is happening, and if I don’t stop Toño, I will lose the man I love. Now I, like most vampires, can move very fast. But I’m not as fast as Caleb or apparently as fast as my son. All the co
