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 Chapter 62
Chapter 62I was trying to figure out a way to fight and try to get out of my own mind when the darkness started to fade away and I knew it was throwing me into another memory. I still had 3 years that Damien visited me that I didn’t have my memories back of yet. I had a feeling that I needed to see them all before I could take whatever the next step was in getting out of my mind. I was surprised to find that it didn’t throw me into a memory, it put me in a perpetual state of darkness fading. Like it was stuck and couldn’t go any further. I suddenly got the feeling that I needed to calm down again. I stopped and took a few deep breaths to calm my mind. It worked, and I was able to hyper focus on the world beyond the darkness. I could feel my body where it lay. I could feel the temperature of the room, and the presence of bodies walking in and out. I could feel my mind, as if I were outside looking in and my mind was its own entity. I could feel my lifeforce hanging on by a thread. I
The Hunter Chapter 63
Chapter 63I could feel his snake-like silky tendrils retreating from my mind as he went. The further away he got the more I realized that I was still lying in Damiens bed. I had gotten myself this far, but couldn’t seem to go any further. “Ok Snow, in order to accept your fate of becoming a Vampire. What do you need?” I asked myself out loud, hoping that it might help me get some kind of idea. Suddenly the room started to fade out and when it faded back in I saw myself with Xavier. We were in Florida, and he had taken me snorkeling for my birthday. We were just putting our gear away when I saw Damien walk up to us. He said something to Xavier, who promptly got up and walked away, leaving me alone with a Vampire. Before I could even grab my knife, which wasn’t on my leg because I was in a bikini, Damien grabbed me and pulled in for a kiss. Watching from the outside I knew he was showing me a memory, it was the memory from last year. Once he pulled away, I smiled at him. “Damien! Hey,
The Hunter Chapter 64
Chapter 64I was expecting another memory, but I didn’t get it, which I thought was strange. It made me wonder if Damien had just not visited me that year, but I knew he did. He visited me every year. He wouldn't have missed a year. “Damien!” I heard Jericho's voice call out, and that snapped me from my thoughts. I heard Damien rush in immediately. “What is it?” He said. “Look! What are these on her hands?? They just formed in front of my eyes.” Jericho said. I could hear the awe in his voice. “Damien smiled and looked down at me. I could see him but my body wasn’t reacting. “She’s waking up. She’s going to wake up.” Damien said. “How do you…” Jericho started to say, but was cut off when I started to stir. I had been begging my body to let me in, to just listen to my commands, and to my surprise, it did. I suddenly felt as if my consciousness and my body had reconnected. I could no longer see anything from the outside, and I knew exactly where I was. I took a few breaths in and exhale
The Hunter Chapter 65
Chapter 65“Stop, you don’t owe me anything. If anyone owes anyone anything, it’s me owing you. I never should have led you on all those years. Never. It was selfish and unfair to you. Not that I knew why I couldn’t feel anything towards you before now, but if I didn’t feel anything I should have just said no. I honestly wanted your company because I was tired of always being alone. It was selfish and I'm sorry.” I said. “Snow, don’t apologize. I don’t care what happened, I wouldn’t change anything. I would do it again in a heartbeat, just to be close to you. I know Damien isn’t going to want to hear this, but I love you, Snow… I love you so fucking much. And even if you will never love me back I don’t want to lose you in my life. Vampire or not. So please, feed from me so you can complete your transition. Because a world without you, is not a world I want to live in.” He said. His emotions were plain on his face, and I couldn’t help the guilt that pooled in my gut, but also the happi
The Hunter Chapter 66
Chapter 66“Damien, I need to tell you something.” I said. He turned to me. “What is it, doll?” He said. I exhaled a slow breath just trying to regain my composure as the gravity of what I had agreed to started to hit me. I could feel myself starting to spiral and the room started shaking again. I closed my eyes and pushed the stress from my stomach. I needed to calm down. Once I was able to regain my composure I opened my eyes and locked them on Damien. “Sorry, I lost it for a second. So Max visited me, as I'm sure you know because he said you contacted him.” I said. Damien looked completely confused. “Who is Max? Oh wait, you mean the council?” Damien replied. I nodded. “He said he spoke to you, which I’m seeing that this might be untrue…” I said. I instantly looked down at my hand, not even caring that Damien and Jericho were both looking at me like I was mad. I sighed in relief when the amethyst ring was absent from my hand. But I was surprised to see that the back of my hand was
The Hunter Chapter 67
Chapter 67“I’m really glad that you kept pursuing me, even when I continually pushed you away. Honestly, I’m glad we didn't get together when I was 18.” I said. I could see the confusion twinkling in his neon green eyes. I let myself get lost in the chasm that was churning beneath their calm demeanor before replying. “If we had gotten together, I would have left The Academy. If I did that, I never would have known about the hit on you, and I never would have been able to do anything about it. I think you may have been killed, and I would have been helpless.” The sadness in my voice echoed throughout the now empty room, bouncing off the walls and disappearing through the open window to the outside world. “Everything happens for a reason, doll. Even if we don’t understand why.” He purred, moving a piece of my hair behind my ear. “I’ve never believed in fate. I’ve always believed that you control your own fate, but now I'm not so sure.” I said. The neon green of his eyes reminded me of
The Hunter Chapter 68
Chapter 68“I see.” Damien replied. I could see the wheels still turning in his mind. “Oh and I might still try to kill you, just FYI. But at that point, maybe that would be that. Who knows.” I said. He just laughed, making me smile. “Ok, so next year when I visit, I'm going to do things differently. I’m going to make you fall for me. I promise.” He said. “I really hope you do.” I replied in my drug induced state. “Let’s get you home, it’s starting to get late.” He said, leading me from the club to his vehicle outside. I heard him command my vehicle to go home, but I was too messed up to notice. He helped me inside his car and drove us to The Academy. He helped me out and was about to leave when I turned to face him. “Do you think you could stay here with me tonight? I don’t want to be alone.” I said. I could see the slight pout on my face that seemed to drive Damien crazy. He didn’t even hesitate before telling me yes, and following me inside. I saw him compel a few people who saw us

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

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
