The Hunter Chapter 32
Chapter 32“Snow… I’m so sorry.” He whispered, pulling me to his chest while I cried. He ran his fingers through my hair and just held me. “I never thought it could work, I was feeling too guilty. I would have ruined your entire life, ruined everything you had worked so hard for. You know I never wanted to be that person, that guy who came in and tore your life apart. You can say you wanted it, but tell me, did you really? Because Hunting is your life, and it always has been. You killed a Vampire when you were 12 years old, Snow. You were born to be a Hunter.” Damien said. I pulled away from his embrace so I could look him in the eyes. “I was willing to give it all up, to give everything away, just to be with you. I wanted to be with you. I didn’t care about the rest. I begged you, pleaded with you, and you denied me. You know I have spent the past 10 years searching for something that was even a fraction of what I felt when I was with you. Even when I didn’t know what I felt? I knew
The Hunter Chapter 33
Chapter 33I was so fueled with rage that I didn’t even comprehend what he was talking about. That, or I just chose to ignore it. “I don't know how to make this right, Snow. How do I fix this?!” Damien asked, desperation tinging his voice. “There is nothing here, there was never anything here. I don’t know who you think I am, but clearly I'm not her. I feel nothing for you. I don’t even fucking know you. I have never seen you before in my entire life... And if I had, I would have killed you.” I snarled. Damien looked absolutely defeated, and as much as it hurt me to see him that way, It was his fault. His fault for leaving me the way he did, and taking my memories. My mind was trying to save me from heartbreak, the same heartbreak he caused already. The way I did a complete 360 when it came to him was completely and utterly his fault, and he knew it. Damien then surprised me, and kissed me. He held me tightly while the memories flashed back into my mind. Judging by the amount of time
The Hunter Chapter 34
Chapter 34I watched him carry me to his car, which was the Ferrarri this time. The whole time I was screaming and making a scene. He ignored all of the dirty looks and opened his car door, shoving me inside. He fastened my seatbelt and I heard myself whining about my knife. Damien then used Vampire speed to go back to the alley and get my knife for me, showing it to me then throwing it in the trunk out of my reach. He then got in the car and started it up. He held his hand out to me. “Your phone, now.” He demanded. I glared at him. I was fucking pissed. I had no idea what I was thinking, being so defiant, but I knew that Damien was pissed about my Hunting tactics. “No.” I said and turned to look out the window. “Snow.” Damien said, with a warning tone, and still I defied him. “I said, no.” I snarled. He reached over and grabbed my phone out of my hand, much to my displeasure. “Who they fuck are you and why are you even here?” I spat. “Jarvis, take the car back to The Academy, I will
The Hunter Chapter 35
Chapter 35“Snow, please. I’m begging you. Let me fix this.” Damien pleaded. I just shook my head. “How does it feel to have everything you have ever wanted sitting right in front of you, right within your grasp, and be told no?” I said, with tears streaming down my cheeks. He just looked at me and he was fighting back tears too. “The difference is, I will forget all of this, but you… You never will. I hope it hurts you just as much as you've hurt me. Now get it over with, take my memories, I can't bear this pain any longer.” I said, and closed my eyes. I watched as Damien scooted closer to me and took me in his arms. “I deserve every ounce of pain these interactions cause me, but I will never stop trying to make things right with you.” He said. He didn't remove my memories, instead he tilted my chin up to him and kissed me. I watched as the gifted mate bond started to click into place between us. It was so strong, you could practically feel it from the sidelines. That, of course, le
The Hunter Chapter 36
Chapter 36'Haven't gotten a checkmate yet? This is a record for you. What's it been, 3 days, 4 days? Has time softened you?' Xavier said, with a winky face. I sighed to myself before replying. 'Hey now, a high priority contract takes finesse. You know this, simmer down.' I replied. I knew he wouldn't reply this late, it was 3:00am. I bit back the anxiety that threatened to overflow from my chest as I thought about how the Hunting community was going to take my leave. I literally was giving up everything. My entire life... My livelihood. I turned and looked at Damien who was still sleeping peacefully. I knew he was my future, and while this transition would be difficult, it would be worth it. Thinking about Damien caused my stress to calm down some, and I was about to set my phone down when I noticed I had another message. But this wasn't from Xavier, it was from Jericho. My heart jumped to my throat. He never gets back to me before the time frames he sets. He's very particular like
The Hunter Chapter 37
Chapter 37Morning came faster than I had hoped. I instantly regretted opening my eyes, as a barrage of thoughts from my conversation with Jericho last night infiltrated my brain. Sleep was a nice reprieve from the chaos running through my frazzled mind. I know I hadn’t had any time to really process what Jericho said, but how in the hell was I going to convince The Academy to withdraw their hit? Especially if they were doing it to get control of his business. I looked over at Damien who was still asleep, lying on his back with his head turned towards me. I watched as his chest rose and fell softly with each breath and it was like I could feel the gifted mate bond clicking more and more into place with every second I spent with him. It made my desire to stop the Academy even that much stronger. I would stop them, or we would both die trying. There was no way in hell I would let them win. I knew my clock was ticking and the urgency pushed me forward. Suddenly Damien reached up and grab
The Hunter Chapter 38
Chapter 38We finished showering and got out to get ready. Damien was ready pretty quickly, but it took me a little longer with my hair and all. I had to blowdry it, I wasn’t going outside with it wet. I laughed as he shook his head at me and told me I looked fine about 30 times before I actually agreed, and followed him out of the house to his car. He chose the Buggati this time. Cortana already had it ready for us and she opened the doors as we walked up. I got inside, and Damien shut my door for me and then he got inside. “Cortana, take us to Edge Enterprises.” He commanded. “As you wish, sir.” Cortana replied, and we headed that way. I had never been to his office before but I had heard a lot about it. I took the time to check my phone and Jericho did indeed message me. 'Hey love, the guy's name is Bartholomew. Looks like he's been working for Damien for about 3 years now. From what I can see he started purely with the intention of giving proprietary information to The Academy. T
The Hunter Chapter 39
Chapter 39Once he got inside and we started driving to an unknown location he turned back to me. “Matt thinks he is getting proprietary information and giving it to The Academy. What he’s really getting is proprietary information riddled with bugs and code that will never work. It will never let them copy my designs.” He said with a laugh. “Also, his name is Bartholomew, not Matt. I keep him around because it keeps The Academy at bay. I have a feeling they are eventually going to try and take things a step further, but for now they are appeased by his reports back to them.” Damien said. I just kept my mouth shut, it was extremely smart and he definitely knew what he was doing. He, however, didn’t realize that The Academy had already taken that next step… Me. I still had to kill Bartholomew though. I still had to, because it would put a wrench in The Academy’s plan, and I didnt have any other tools in my belt at this moment. “Well I’m glad you know, because the second he touched my ha

The Hunter Epilogue
Epilogue(Snow)Damien took my hand in his as we locked eyes. “Are you ready?” He asked. I nodded then looked back at my mother who smiled at me. Today was our funeral, and against my wishes Damien had sweet talked me into attending. Not that we could see the whole thing, but what kind of funeral would it be if we weren't there at least for a moment? That argument to me seemed silly, but Damien was gung ho about it. We tuned into the funeral proceedings. I was surprised to see Jericho leading them. It had only been a week since we had passed on and I knew he was still a new Vampire. The amount of control he was showing around a room full of potential food, was impressive. I wanted to hug my friend and tell him how proud of him I was for his progress. I turned my head to check out the room from Jericho’s view. That’s when my mother gasped out loud. I almost copied her when I saw the sheer amount of people who were in attendance. Every single seat in the entire place was filled. There
The Hunter Chapter 79
Chapter 79“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 Clar
The Hunter Chapter 78
Chapter 78Xavier ignored us both and kept trying to find a way around the barrier. It was no use, I couldn’t even penetrate it. I could still feel Snow, but it was pointless trying to get inside. I sent Xavier home after a few hours and just kept coaching Jericho down, and helping him to understand his Vampire tendencies. 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 as well, otherwise tomorrow was going to be a lot harder. It was just too hard to sleep with my gifted mate in danger. And I knew she was in danger, I could feel it. I sent Jericho back to the house, but threatened him not to eat another perso
The Hunter Chapter 77
Chapter 77(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 never let her go. 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. I took Jericho aside and made him promise me that he would be my sole beneficiar
The Hunter Chapter 76
Chapter 76I looked over at my mom with wide eyes. “See, I told you.” She said with a laugh. I smiled, this place was so strange. I looked out the window as we drove. Everything looked the same as before I died. The town was the same, I was still in Maine, still close to Damien. It baffled me that I hadn’t ended up somewhere else. “How does it decide where you end up? Like why am I here, in Maine still? And not home in Nevada?” I asked. My mother shrugged. “I guess it knows where your unfinished business is.” She said. My heart sank as we pulled into the resort that Max was staying at. I knew exactly where Damien was, and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to walk up there and see him like this. I knew full well that he had found my body, and he would be absolutely distraught. My mother had always been a mind reader, I swear. “This is where you were killed?” She said, as if she knew exactly what I was thinking. I nodded. “I killed myself on accident, actually. Its stupid, but I had to in or
The Hunter Chapter 75
Chapter 75I found myself in the front foyer of The Academy, covered in someone else’s blood. I briefly recalled the events that I believe led me here, but they were a blur. My heart ached at the loss of my fake life. It was just a physical pain, I knew that what I had in the real world was better, much better than anything Max could have given me, but my mind was still jumbled from his hallucination. My thoughts then strayed to Damien. I was relieved that he would be safe in my real life. No matter what this place is, no matter what happened to me, he would be safe now with Max dead. That, I was sure of. My thoughts vanquished when I snapped back to reality, or whatever this was. I was in line behind a few others. These were Hunters I recognized, friends and foes. People I had grown up with, people I had spent my life working with. No one was talking, and everyone looked as beat up as I did. The line slowly moved but I couldn’t hear anything that was being said at the front desk. It
The Hunter Chapter 74
Chapter 74We 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 and 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 causi
The Hunter Chapter 73
Chapter 73He 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 said. 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 yo
The Hunter Chapter 72
Chapter 72The 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 by the towel. “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
