The Hunter Chapter 49
Chapter 49He smiled at me, and something about the smile hit me right in the gut. I had a strange feeling that if I met with him in person I may never come out alive. There was something else in his eyes too that bothered me, and it wasn't the typical lust I always see. This was something more. I just looked deep into his eyes for a moment while he processed my reply. “I will text you with an address and time. See you tonight.” He said. And with that he ended the call. I felt like I had fallen into an endless abyss, like I was drowning and he was going to save me. I didn’t know what kind of fuckery that is, but I didn’t like it at all. We arrived at The Primrose and I couldn't shake the feeling that Max was still somehow watching me. That had to be crazy though. Right? I pushed the thoughts away as I went to open my car door but it was already opening. Jericho stood on the other side with his hand held out to me. I put my hand in his and his thoughts wafted through my mind like a ge
The Hunter Chapter 50
Chapter 50I shuddered as I set my phone down. It just seemed like I could feel him, even though a text. It was the strangest feeling I had ever felt. “Care to explain?” Jericho asked, pulling me from my eerie mindset. “Oh, fuck i’m sorry. That was super weird. So when I killed Bartholemew, remember he gave me the name of Max from the council? Well that was him.”I said. “Huh? Wait, WAIT, that was Max, from the council? Texting you? What, how?!” Jericho exclaimed. So remember when I told you I asked Shadow about a meeting with the council? Well I asked him to give Max my regards hoping that the personal call out would urge him to agree to meet with me. Shadow said he would see what he could do, but then he never called me back. Instead, Max called me.” I explained. “Holy shit, Snow. That is insane! I have never in my lifetime of snooping through The Academy’s files, found that the council ever speaks to anyone in person, or anyone ever really. Maybe the couple of people that report d
The Hunter Chapter 51
Chapter 51“Snow.” He said, greeting me. I extended my hand and let him take it, kissing it softly. His thoughts were cool and calculated. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing sinister, he was just extremely interested in me. I intrigued him, more so than anyone else has. He was determined to figure me out. “Come in, beautiful.” He purred, and it felt like the silk from his voice traveled through my ears and wrapped itself around my mind. It had me wondering just what his enhancement was. I was sure I would find out soon enough. I walked inside the room, which was a typical suite. It had a four poster bed in the middle of the room against the back wall, a fireplace and seating on one side, a mini bar on the other, plus the walk-in closet and bathroom adjoined. The thing that struck me the most interesting were the windows. They were huge and the entire room was lined with them. The view outside was gorgeous as you could see the ocean and the town below. This resort sat up on a cliff o
The Hunter Chapter 52
Chapter 52Max hooked his index finger under my chin, forcing me to look him in the eyes. I could feel the slimy tendrils disguised as silk, seeping into my mind. “Max, I’m warning you, get the fuck out of my mind.” I snarled. “But doll, I love you, can’t you feel our bond?” He said softly, and the hurt in his eyes was apparent. This felt so fucking real. I could feel him in my mind, and I swear that this was the memory, exactly how it happened. But I knew he was messing around in there, changing shit. He was not my gifted mate and this was not real. “Don’t call me doll.” I growled, and ripped my knife from its holster, jamming it into Max’s chest with extreme swiftness. He never expected it, and I watched as he bled out in front of me. “Only one man can call me doll, and it sure as hell isn't you.” I snarled, while jamming my knife deeper into his chest. I knew this wasn't real, just a memory so he wasn’t really dead. I expected him to pull us out of the memory, but he didn’t. I watc
The Hunter Chapter 53
Chapter 53I picked up my phone to see that it had been 4 hours, it was almost 10:30pm. How the hell? He kept me in there for 4 hours?! Jericho probably was losing his shit, and I’m sure Damien messaged me too. But when I looked at my phone, no one had messaged me. This is strange, why would no one have tried to contact me after this long of a time?” I thought. I clicked on the message thread from Jericho in my phone, and pushed reply. ‘I’m out, I'm alive, want me to come back over and update you?’ I asked.I waited until I was already in my car and ready to head over, but he never replied. This was out of character for him. “Jarvis, call Jericho on a secure line.” I said. “Of course, ma’am. I’ve put it on the screen.” He replied. I waited for him to answer, of course he would answer, right? I was let down when it went to voicemail. I didn’t leave a voicemail, I just hung up. He could be asleep, I mean he did fly here, and there is jet lag. I decided to quit bugging him and text D
The Hunter Chapter 54
Chapter 54I tried to keep my calm because there was one thing he still didn't know… The fact that I could read his thoughts. That was one thing I never revealed and he would never know. It was the only thing that gave me a heads up on him, or anyone really. “I will be expecting your text.” I said, as he released his hold on me, allowing me to climb off his lap. I straightened my dress out and ran my hand through my hair where he had messed it up then we locked eyes again. He was smiling deviously, and I just smirked, narrowing my eyes at him, before turning and walking away. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was drowning when I walked away from him though. It was the strangest thing, like he wanted me to stay. Like staying was the only way to be able to breathe again. I resisted the urge and kept walking. He didn’t say anything else though, and I looked at my hand just before I walked out the door, just to make sure I really was awake this time. No ring, perfect. I stepped out the
The Hunter Chapter 55
Chapter 55I was so grateful for Damien and his patience with me while I tried to save his life. Even if he didn’t know what I was doing or why. We were lying on the bed together, I was lying in his arms in my favorite spot when he leaned down and kissed me. As the lightning rushed between us I got the strange feeling that he should mark me. I know I said I wasn’t ready yet, but every ounce of my being was pushing for it. I knew he could feel it too but he didn't want to say anything. Instead he growled under his breath as he ripped what little piece of clothing I still had on, off of me, throwing it to the floor. The look of hunger and need in his eyes when he looked at my naked form, both made me nervous and excited at the same time. He carefully caressed my breasts while kissing me again and holding me close while our tongues worked together in unison. His soft moans fueled my fire as he ran his hands along my body. The way he sucked on my bottom lip and peppered kisses along my j
The Hunter Chapter 56
Chapter 56I locked eyes with Damien. “The Vampire and The Hunter.” I said. He smiled at me. “How ironic.” He replied, and he ran his fingers across the mark. It sent a tingling feeling shooting through my chest. “It’s so beautiful.” I said. “It suits us perfectly.” Damien replied. “I’m going to take a bath and try and get some of my strength back.” I said. Damien nodded. “And, you need to eat. So I will get you something and bring it up when you’re done.” He said. “Thank you, I love you.” I replied, and stepped into his arms. I could feel his emotions, his pride at seeing his mark adorning my body. I could feel his trust at how strong his gifted mate was, and that I would survive this. I could feel the warmth of his love encasing my mind. I had never felt comfort like this before, never had someone I could so fully trust with anything, even my life. I was the center of his world, and I could feel it now. It wasn’t just him saying it, it was all encapsulating and true. I suddenly had

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
