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 Chapter 57
Chapter 57My thoughts were clear and I actually felt better than I had felt in a while, even before the mark. It was like the mark energized me even. I felt stronger, more powerful. Different. I couldn’t explain it. My barrage of feelings must have woken Damien up because he sat up and asked me how I was feeling. “Great, I’m feeling great, actually. It’s the weirdest thing, I feel powerful and strong. I don’t know, I guess it's the mark?” I said. He could feel my apprehension. “This is all new to me too, doll. I’m so glad you're feeling better.” He said. “Me too. “What time is it?” I asked him. “11:15am.” He replied. I tried to keep my panic to myself because I knew he would feel it, but it didn’t work at all. “What? Why are you stressed? What is going on?” He asked. I could feel his worry as he spoke. “Nothing, I am just stressed because I spent the past day and a half almost dying. I have wasted a lot of time and I have work to do.” I said, hoping that would suffice. “Well, I'm gl
The Hunter Chapter 58
Chapter 58“Snow, you are absolutely incredible. Do you know this?” Damien said. I looked up at him bewildered. I just told this man that the largest assassin company in the world was out to get him personally, and he thinks I'm incredible? I shook my head at him. “What?” I said. “You are the strongest, most dedicated woman I have ever met in my entire life. You have never come short of your goal, not even once in all the years I've known you. And before you ask, yes I’ve kept up on your contracts. Snow, I’ve known that I was your contract since the beginning. I just wanted you to tell me when you were ready. I honestly had no idea what I was going to do about it, but I knew that as long as I had you, that together, we could figure it out. And I knew that you would keep me safe until that time came.” He said. “You knew the whole time?” I asked. He nodded. “I sure did. I was hoping that you would take it when I realized it came up. Luckily you did before anyone else got the chance.”
The Hunter Chapter 59
Chapter 59I have no idea how much time had passed since I got shot, but I was sure I was dead. My eyes fluttered open but I couldn’t see anything. The strange thing is I didn’t even feel dead. I had cognitive thought but I was just in complete darkness. I couldn’t see anything in any direction but I could tell that I was lying on the ground. I sat up and instantly gripped my chest. The hole was still there, but I couldn’t feel any pain from it. I pulled my hand away and it was covered in blood I assumed. I could feel it and smell it, but I just couldn’t see it. I attempted to stand up and was able to successfully but it did me absolutely no good because I couldn’t see anything. Not even a foot in front of me. If I took a step in any direction I could fall to an even worse fate than what’s already happening. I had never thought about the afterlife, in fact I had no idea what happened after you died. Where did you go? Apparently nowhere, as I am finding out. But why was I still here? W
The Hunter Chapter 60
Chapter 60 I had all but given up hope of finding a way out of this place when the room started to fade away. It was almost as if Damien was giving me back my memories, but he wasn’t even here, I was alone. I watched as the room came back into view. I was in the movie theatre, I have no idea what movie I was watching but I was here with Xavier. He had his arm around my shoulders and I was leaning my head on his shoulder. I remember he asked if he could take me to a movie for my 23rd birthday. I felt guilty watching myself and Xavier. The memories flooded back of him barging into Damiens room. The hurt on his face and in his voice was so apparent, I don’t know if I would ever forgive myself for it. It looked like the movie was halfway over when I saw Damien enter the theatre. He spotted us instantly and walked over. He took a seat next to Xavier and then leaned over and whispered something to him. Out of nowhere Xavier got up and left the theatre. He didn't say a word, he jus
The Hunter Chapter 61
Chapter 61“I know, Snow. I honestly know. It doesn’t make any sense at all. I have been trying for years to figure out why they would do this, but there has to be a reason.” He said. His words calmed me some. It was nice to know that he really was as confused as I was. It made me feel like he wasn't trying to take advantage of me or the situation. That led me into my next question of why we aren't together? “So, why aren’t we together?” I asked him, just as the waiter came to take our orders. We ordered and then Damien poured me another glass of champagne. I sipped it while waiting for his reply. “I really hurt you, Snow. I haven’t shown you the memory yet, so you don’t understand the emotion behind it. But the reason why we aren’t together is because, besides the heartbreak and your emotions, you haven’t been ready to give up your entire life to join me yet.” He said. I raised my eyebrow at him, and then my eyes widened as I realized what he meant. “Oh… I truly would have to give u

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
