A scream caught both our attention. “This way!” Khalid shouted, leading the way to a she-wolf clutching a baby and a second older child to her chest as a group of Syndicate circled her snarling. Three were in wolf while one male sneered as he walked in human. “You fucking bitch. How dare you turn against Noya and the Syndicate. You will pay with your life and the life of that pup.” He threatened, shifting as he went to lunge at the child. Hurting children, especially babies, are a hard no in my books. I’ve watched one innocent life be taken. I will never allow another. I rushed forward, knocking him out of the way with a hiss. “TOUCH THEM AND DIE MUTT!” I promised. “You heard my mate.” Khalid agreed as he held his pistols up, taking the woman’s flank. We made sure to keep the she-wolf and her pups between us. Khalid used two guns, aiming for non-vital spots on the rogues. While I had enough of this shit, narrowing my eyes as I focused my mind on theirs. And smiled as they dropped to

This attack on Mount Adams may have resulted in a stalemate or maybe a win for us. Wade was taken down, but it came at a high cost. I won’t say I will mourn Nigel for days or even hours. We weren’t close. But he was a good man who took protecting my sister as seriously as I do. He gave his life to ensure she lived. I respect that, and his sacrifice has given us an opening. Wade is dead, and Noya is weak because of it. Tonight, we can put this to rest. We can put Noya six feet under and secure the safety of my sister and her pack. We had a plan, and tonight this was going to end. I was busy preparing canisters to secure the tunnels so everyone who won’t be taking part in the fight would be protected when Dani came up behind me. Against my better judgment, I let her help, being extra cautious when not letting her mix ingredients. While this was to keep a witch out, one wrong step could hurt Dani. I was not going to take that risk. We had just finished the last canister when Collin che

The aftermath of the fight was a blur. Two back-to-back conflicts were draining. I was half awake at best on the drive back to Mount Adams. The most I could muster when we arrived was a nod to Isis before heading to bed with Khalid. I looked forward to sleeping the day away. Even though we both stripped out of our blood-stained clothes to sleep naked, sleeping was all that happened. Or at least, for the most part, that’s all that happened in our bed. Somewhere around sunset, however, I woke to the intense feeling of desire paired with hot kisses on the inside of my thighs. “Someone woke… up horny….” My breath hitched as Khalid’s tongue dipped into my folds. I moaned, rolling my hips against Khalid’s face as he groaned against my skin. His hands gripped my thighs tighter, spreading them further to give him more access. Any residual haze from sleep was quickly gone as he added his fingers to work me into a dripping mess needing release. And the bastard knows what he’s doing, gets me s

While everyone has been busy planning the oath ceremony, Dani and I have gathered intel on Toño and my dad. We need to know their current patterns if we want to take them on. I don’t plan to kill my dad or anything. But I need to find the best way to approach him where it can be free of guild members. He needs to hear me out. He needs to understand the monster he was married to. I want to reason with him to ensure he lets me and Isis live our lives in peace. I hope he will listen to me and that it won’t come down to a fight. I didn’t want to kill my mother, and I certainly didn’t want to kill my father. It better not come to that. I don’t know if I can mentally handle being forced into killing another parent. Toño, on the other hand. That’s a different story. We are following his movements and studying every move his clan makes and even his human subordinates. We are taking no chances when it comes to him. Because he will die, he must die. If we strike and he doesn’t die, it is all f

My head felt fuzzy for a moment like a headache was forming, and then suddenly, it was gone as I heard a click. I heard the concerned thoughts of Isis, Kurt, and the others as they watched me. IT WORKED! ‘Well, look at who can communicate with you without saying a word.’ I chuckled, focusing on my sister. Now that I know it worked for me, I feel more comfortable letting Dani go next. I cut my hand and let my blood drip into the cup. Maybe my blood in the mix will make it taste better for her. I stepped back to let Dani take her turn. “I, Daniela Alicia Chávez, solemnly swear that I will faithfully serve the Silverclaw people as their Delta and support Alpha Kurt and Luna Isis. And will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Silverclaw Pack.” Dani bowed her head and drank the blood with a grimace. I held my breath, hoping that this ceremony would accept a vampire as it did a human. And then I felt it. I felt her added to the link I shared with the other ranked

Traveling long distances is never easy for a vampire. First, there is the issue of sunlight. How much exposure will there be in your mode of travel, not to mention when traveling between countries or continents? Then there is the food factor. How long will you be traveling? Can you bring blood bags? If you can’t, how much control over your hunger do you have? So much goes into traveling. Probably why, unless forced to leave by hunters, food becoming scarce, or our secret being discovered, vampires will settle in one place. I suppose I should count myself lucky that Khalid is now related to some very wealthy and connected people. Not saying I don’t have money. I’ve been alive long enough to have plenty. But we can’t travel using any means that would be connected to me. It would be too obvious. So I suppose we owe thanks to John for letting us use a Kinsley private jet to fly to Cairo. It has a bedroom so I can sleep in the darkness with all the windows closed while the sun is out, and

I knew arriving in Cairo was going to come with dangers. I didn’t want the guild to know in advance that we had arrived, and I certainly wasn’t going to take any chances with Dani’s safety. I’d even taken measures to try and be proactive against the anti-vampire warding the guild has posted. I was confident I took every precaution. Yet we are being tailed by the guild. Someone must have told the guild that Dani is my mate. It’s the only thing I didn’t account for. All my safety measures were based on the base level anti-vampire protection the guild uses. But if they knew about Dani and me, they could have, and obviously must have, either added another layer to the warding to account for me or outright put up a warding to alert me when I arrived. Both are possible, and it isn’t like the guild doesn’t have my blood sample somewhere or couldn’t use my dad’s. It’s my fault for not thinking about that. I should have been prepared for them to be lying in wait for my return. And I’ll take t

I knew we should have gone after Toño first. I had a sinking feeling that coming to his father would be more trouble than he expected. I love Khalid… wait, did I admit that? Ignore that. I said nothing. Anyways Khalid is still young and STUPID! He still sees his dad as a loving parent. He should have learned from his mistakes with his mother to realize his dad would be a monster too. A prime example is I’m hanging from a ceiling in what appears to be a windowless cell by chains soaked in vervain. It burns like a son of a bitch, and I’m going to have to drain a couple of bastards to recover from the burns it’s leaving on my skin. But I’m willing to do that. I’ll drink the guild fucking dry and feel no remorse. “So you’re the bloodsucking whore that brainwashed my son.” A man scoffed, making his presence known. He’d been sitting, observing me from a chair, thinking himself invisible. Right, because I didn’t know his dumbass was sitting there like some creep. I narrowed my eyes at the

The Hunted Hunter Epilogue -Daniela
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
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 61 - Khalid
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
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 60 - Khalid
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
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 59 - Daniela
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
The Hunted Hunter Chapter 58 - Khalid
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
