The Hunter Chapter 22
We were standing outside the door to one of the many rooms within The Academy. I could see Damien knocking on the door and I laughed a little because he was so damn daring. A Vampire, just waltzing into The Academy like he was one of us. Not that anyone could really tell at a first glance, as the Vampires had mastered the art of blending in. But there was still a sort of ethereal beauty about Vampires that I don’t think they really knew how to cover up. At least not if you knew what to look for. We were trained to spot the subtle differences in The Academy. Not that I ever needed that type of training, all I had to do was touch someone and I could know instantly. It had me wondering if anyone else had the same enhancement I did. Not that I would ever tell them though, even if they did. My attention was pulled back to the door as it opened and a 13 year old me stood in the doorway. I was shy and timid, very different from what I am now. The light caught the obsidian stone hanging on

He came around the corner shortly, and I held my knife up. “Why are you following me?” I demanded, but even I could see that the gifted mate bond was taking effect. My 14 year old self didn’t know what to think. I didn’t lower the knife, but I could see that the thought process in my mind regarding what I was planning to do, and what I was going to do was completely changing. “Snow, lower the knife, I’m not going to hurt you.” Damien said. I took a few breaths in, and then lowered the knife, seating it back in my holster. I facepalmed myself again while watching this unfold, this gifted mate bond really made me do stupid shit. “Who are you?” I asked. “My name is Damien, and I was following you because I wanted to buy you something for your birthday. Were you planning on going to the boutique?” He asked. I nodded. “Well, lead the way.” He said and put his arm out, gesturing for me to go first. Never in a million years would I have entertained a complete stranger, but this gifted mate

He wrapped his arms around me and held me there for a bit before pulling away. "I know you are confused, little one, but please just trust that I have your best interests in mind, always. Now let's get your paperwork done." He said. I nodded and took a seat next to him while I started filling out the paperwork. "It asks me if I can put an emergency contact on here in case something goes wrong… I have no one, do you think I could put you?" I asked him. He smiled at me. "Of course, my name is Damien. And my number is 909-663-8197." He said, as I scribbled his information down. "Thanks." I said softly, and kept writing. I watched Damien watching me as I filled out my enhancement paperwork. He was enamored, floored, just by being in my presence. I knew I felt the gifted mate bond, and clearly he did too. I didn't understand it, of course. How could I? I didn't even know this man, and while I know I had an inkling that he was a Vampire, my 15 year old self never said anything about it. O

I started to stir soon after and my eyes started to flutter open. I was disoriented. I remember waking up, except I was alone in the room from my own memories. I was always alone and I was used to it. This memory was a lot different than what Damien would have me remember. As my eyes fully opened, I locked them into Damien's when I saw him gasp. My 15 year old self was still in too much of a daze to realize what he was doing, but watching from the sideline I could see his shock. I knew it was because my intense blue eyes had now turned onyx black, just like my hair. That seemed to be the only thing that changed on me, but what a change it was. Damien reached for my hand and I knew now that this was the first time I was able to hear thoughts. Damien's thoughts were the first thoughts I ever heard. He was thinking about my eyes being black and what a shock it was, and then he was thinking of killing that doctor. “My eyes are black?! You don't have to kill the doctor, Damien. I knew th

I had better figure this contract out quickly. I wasn’t about to waste a second more than I already had to. “Jarvis, tell me everything you can about the person who ordered the hit on Damien.” I said. “I’m sorry ma’am, that information was not provided on this particular contract.” Jarvis replied. I groaned out loud. Fuck, what was I going to do now? How could I find out more information? I was racking my brain trying to figure out another way to get the information when it hit me, the archives! The Academy keeps an archive of every hit ever ordered. This includes the information of who ordered it. When ordering a hit you have to fill out an application and it will either get approved or denied, depending on your reasons. The Academy is very picky when it comes to the reasons they allow a hit. Even if you are denied your application will be saved in the archive. Luckily, the archives are digital, so I wouldn’t have to go sneaking around in a filing cabinet. But I was not the best at

The next 24 hours were going to be the slowest 24 hours of my life. I honestly couldn't do anything else right now. It was all in Jericho's hands. I laughed because knowing him, he would be calling me at exactly 6:35pm tomorrow night. He was particular like that when he gave time frames. My mind went directly to Damien. I wondered what he was doing right now. My phone suddenly went off in my hand, causing me to jump and almost drop the thing. “Sheesh!” I said out loud, as I tried to calm my beating heart. I looked down at my phone and saw the name Damien flash across the screen. He had texted me. I instantly raised an eyebrow at my phone as I fumbled to open the message. I didn't ever give him my number, how in the hell was his name and number programmed into my phone? I finally opened the message and read it. ‘Hey, I'm sorry, not trying to bother you, but I just really miss you…’ He said. My heart fluttered reading his words. ‘Hi, how exactly did I get your number in here?’ I rep

Damien wasn’t touching me so I had no read on his thoughts, but his face was torn in a look of turmoil. “Snow, you have to understand why I did what I did before you can understand why it took this long for you to accept me... I never wanted to force you into something. I never wanted to be the reason you gave up your entire life. Had I not erased your memories all those times, maybe our outcome would have remained the same, but maybe it wouldn’t have become what we have now. I don’t know for sure what the outcome would have been. But the second you rejected the idea of us together and I knew it was causing you inner turmoil, I erased your memories and let you go on your way. I knew someday, there would be a time when I didn't have to do that, and you would accept me. But I didn’t realize how long it would take... Being a Hunter is in your blood, Snow. It's difficult to realize that fate has other plans for you... Especially when you were so hellbent on avenging your mother in any way

“I know you have a lot of questions, but right now the answers aren't important. Just know that I am on your side. I would never hurt you, and when you get old enough I will tell you everything.” Damien said. We had already ordered and our food arrived before I spoke again. “You’re a Vampire, and you know I'm a Hunter…” I said, as more of a question than a statement. “I know, little one. And that's what makes this all the more difficult.” He said. I let his cryptic words dance through my brain as we ate. I noticed that my 16 year old self couldn't keep her eyes off Damien. The gifted mate bond was definitely in effect, but she was smart and kept her thoughts to herself. Once we were done eating we went back to the parking lot. Damien had me ask Shiva to pull the car around. Once we were inside he commanded Shiva to take us back to the hotel in town, he needed a ride there since he had driven my car to come get me. “How is it that you can control my artificial intelligence?” I asked

“Clark, It’s Damien. I’m going to need one last favor.” I said. “Of course, Damien, what is it?” He asked. I have 2 bodies I’m going to need you to pick up. Funeral arrangements have already been specified in the document I will leave for you. As always, money is no issue and I trust that you will charge me for all of it.” He said. “Of course, sir. I can have the coroner there in a half hour.” He replied. “Thank you, Clark. Truly, thank you, my friend...” I said, before hanging up the phone. I looked at Jericho and nodded. He nodded back to me. I walked over to Max’s body and pulled Snow’s knife from Max’s chest. I walked over to Jericho while Xavier grieved over my gifted mate. “Do not feed from him, he needs to stay alive. Snow would kill us both if she ever found out that something bad happened to him. You have my will, you have everything you need. Give this to Clark when he arrives. It has the instructions I have specified. Burn this fucking place to the ground once Clark and th

And who just literally gave up her physical life for me, was gone. My thoughts were a fucking wreck. I have no idea how long I held her before I laid her on the bed, or what was left of it. That's when I noticed Max across the room. He was clearly dead, Snow’s knife protruded from his chest. I knew that was what killed him, even though I doubt he could have survived the blast either way. I looked back down at the body of the only woman I had ever truly loved and smiled through my tears. “I’m so proud of you. Giving up the ultimate sacrifice to accomplish your goals. So fucking proud.” I said, moving a piece of her hair from the blood that stained her face. I tucked it behind her ear softly. Even in death she was so fucking beautiful. My chest ached physically at her loss. Every bone in my body was in agony. Like they knew we were missing our other half. The strange thing was the bond seemed to still be in place, It was just unreachable and very very faint. I called Jericho and told

Xavier ignored us both and kept trying to find a way around the barrier. It was no use, I couldn’t even penetrate it so there was no way an enhanced Human could either. I could still feel Snow, but it was pointless trying to get inside. I sent Xavier home after a few hours. He was reluctant but I had to keep coaching Jericho down, and helping him to understand his Vampire tendencies. He was trying to take a bite out of Xavier more times than I wanted to admit… He was going to struggle with this, just like I did. Which was normal. Snow, on the other hand, was a unicorn. She barely struggled and was able to keep her composure easily. It was her powers that she struggled with and I knew this. I wanted to know what the hell Max was doing to her to cause me to not be able to feel the gifted mate bond anymore. Jericho needed sleep and even though I didn't plan to sleep, I knew I needed to, otherwise tomorrow was going to be a lot harder. It was just too hard to sleep with my gifted mate i

“Cortana, call Xavier.” I said. I knew I had just called him and he probably wasn't even there yet, but I had to try. “What?” He snarled, clearly annoyed by me. But I didn’t care. “Something happened, I can't reach Snow through our bond anymore. I can feel her life force, but I can’t feel her emotions.” I said, trying to hide the panic in my voice.I told her I wouldn’t hover, I wouldn’t bother her and let her handle things. I knew she was independent and wanted to be the savior. I knew… But I was trying not to lose my mind. Plus, Jericho couldn’t wake up alone. That would spell disaster. “I just arrived but I can't get past the front doors. There is some sort of forcefield, I don’t know. Some sort of magic here. Whatever it is, it’s preventing anyone from going in or out.” He replied. “Fuck. Ok, keep an eye on it, and if anyone comes in or out, I need to know. I’ll be there as soon as Jericho finishes his transition.” I said, and hung up the phone. I was half tempted to take Jericho

(Damien)I had a terrible feeling as I watched Snow leave my house to meet with Max. Something inside just nagged at me not to let her go. Had I known what the next 72 hours was going to bring, I would have listened. Rarely does my gut instinct send me astray. This was a fact. I started making preparations immediately after her departure. “Jericho, you still here?” I called out from the hallway. He poked his head out of his room a few doors down. “What’s up boss?” He said. “It’s time.” I replied, and I watched him stiffen and pull his head back into the doorway, coming out a second later without his equipment. He walked up to me and nodded. “I’m ready.” He said. I ushered him into my room and over to my desk while I rifled through papers until I found the will. My last will and testament. The second Snow became a Vampire I had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen to her. She just had too much power… I took Jericho aside and made him promise me that he would be my so

“I don’t want it! I don’t want you!” I snarled. “What is it about him? What the fuck is it that has you so fucking entranced?” Max snarled, releasing me from his grip. I stumbled back, getting as far away from him as I could. “Who? Who are you talking about?” I demanded. I was contemplating running, but my curiosity got the best of me. Max was pacing in the room, clearly stressed out. I knew I was trapped, it didn’t matter where I went or what I did, I was stuck in whatever hallucination Max decided to throw at me. There was no point trying to escape. Max suddenly turned towards me and his eyes were full of rage. “You could have had everything with me. You could have had more than you ever hoped for, more than you ever dreamt of. I would have kept you safe. I would have loved you, and protected you. I would have given you anything in this fucking world… All you had to do was say yes. All you had to do was fucking choose me.” He snarled. I took a step back, towards the door as he inc

We got back to the suite and Max immediately turned his gaze to me. I knew exactly what he was thinking. I snickered to myself at the smile creeping on his lips. How did I get so fucking lucky? He was such a damn catch. Way out of my league. “I know what you’re thinking, doll. But… We need food.” He said, putting his finger to my lips. “I’ve got something you can eat.” I said, with a smirk. Within seconds he had me pinned up against the wall next to the closet and smashed his lips into mine. I knew that would get him. At this rate we would never eat, or leave this room. I decided to play hard to get, switch things up a little. I snaked out of his grasp and took off running across the room. I smirked when I heard Max’s growl at my escape. I could feel his feet padding on the floor behind me. I felt like he was letting me get a head start, I knew he was much faster than I was. I turned as I got close to the bathroom just in time for Max to tumble into me, tackling me causing us to bot

He pulled away first. “No more, I have already had a hard enough time keeping my dick in my pants, let’s not make it public, doll.” He purred. I just laughed. “Ok, ok.” I said, with my hands up in defeat. “Let’s just make it through the conference, and then you can have me the rest of the entire day if you choose.” Max said. “Deal.” I replied. He grabbed my hand as we headed out of the suite and to the elevator. His thoughts were a mess of me naked, the conference, the merge. He was nervous but also more excited than he had ever been. The company was about to take off, and the shareholders would benefit from buying stocks right about now. I let my mates' thoughts calm my nerves as we headed past the front desk. “Oh dear, you look so much better this morning!” She said. I thanked her and waved, catching Max’s eye as we went outside. “What was that about?” He asked. “Oh I don’t know, something about looking like I was crying last night. I’m not sure.” I said. He chuckled. “If you wer
The Hunter Chapter 72
The elevator opened and I headed towards the end of the hall. I pushed open the doors to Max’s suite and walked inside, taking my heels off and setting them by the door. Max walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and we locked eyes. “Ah, Snow. you’re back sooner than I expected.” Max purred. “And you’re a hell of a lot less clothed than I expected.” I said with a smirk, letting my eyes roam his nearly naked form. His rippling muscles cascaded down his chest and arms. His towel hung low, accentuating the deep V that was partially hidden. “I think you forget that I am the one who has won the grand prize here.” Max purred, as he sauntered towards me. I met him halfway as our lips collided, sending lightning and cool fire dancing between us. Max pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine. “I love you, Snow. I love you so fucking much.” He said. “I love you too, Max. You know I do.” I replied. He pulled away the rest of the way and looked at me. I could see the complete and
