The Huntress 27. Too Late
...Ace POV..."NO! NO! NO! NO!" This can't be happening! I was absolutely petrified. Sienna was in no shape to go against Deathstroke. She would surely be killed. A fate of which I was sure she was more than aware, considering her last words to me.I hear my name being called and look toward my security team, and gesture for my men to approach. "I don't care what you have to do or how you go about doing it, but you need to get this fight stopped. I won't let her kill herself." I shout at them. The roars of chants from the crowd around us indicate that no one was the wiser about my intentions. I couldn't even care less if Hunter fired me after this or closed the club indefinitely. Sienna was far more important than any of that. While I know she never saw me as anything more than a close friend or brother, I would never allow her to go through with this.My men all nod in response and quickly disperse. I looked back at the fight, only to see that it was less of a fight and more of a ma

However, Deathstroke wouldn't stand down. He ran backwards, slamming her into the wires. He jumped backwards, slamming Sienna into the mat. Her release on him dropped as her back made contact with the mat. Deathstroke grabbed onto the lower wire and pushed it down over her throat. I could see her face turn blue from the lack of oxygen. She tried her best to push back on the wire, but she wasn't in the best position to fight off his advance. I watched on in horror as her arms slowly drooped and her eyes began to close."FIRECRACKER!" I screamed, terrified by what I was seeing. I wanted so badly to come to her aid, but I knew I couldn't. I watched as her face paled. However, Deathstroke didn't seem to care. It was clear this was why he had come here. He wanted his title and was willing to do anything for it, even if it meant decapitating her.To make matters worse, Deathstroke looked in my direction and continued to stare at me with a wicked and delighted grin on his face. He knew that

...Hunter POV...I was a mess. There was no other way to look at it. Ever since Sienna had the bomb strapped to her, I knew that if we managed to survive this, I would need to keep my distance from her. After all, it was one of my men that had done this to her. I know her family's history with Kevin. But at the end of the day, it was Silvio that was the worst of the villains. A villain that shouldn't have ever been a threat to her. But I had let my guard down. I had put her in danger. I ignored the flags and nearly got her killed. If that wasn't bad enough, I tortured her. I couldn't look at her knowing what I had done to her and allowed others to do to her. I had hoped that if I created distance between us, she would be able to move on. But it was clear my plan wasn't working. Sienna was too hard-headed and stubborn to do that. I hadn't heard anything for months. But then suddenly she started coming back to the club. I didn't want to give in to her. She deserved way better than som

...Hunter POV......Flashback...I was pacing my office. Staying away from Sienna was proving more and more difficult. I wanted nothing more than to run to her and hold her in my arms, hoping with everything in me she would forgive all of my indiscretions. Buy I knew I wasn't that lucky. No one could ever forgive what I had done. I deserved everything she was giving to me and so much more. While the distance was painful, it was nothing compared to what my mind would create. In my mind, I saw her hating me. Yelling at me for everything I had put her through. I saw her move on from me to a man that would be so much better for her than I ever could be. I saw her hating me. Out of everything my mind conjured up, that was by far the worst. I could deal with her wrath. But I would never be able to look in her eyes to see her despise me. That would be far worse than any fate she could give me. So, I felt the best solution was to stay away from her. I was no catch. There was no reason for he

...Javier POV..."She felt unworthy of her own dreams." I comment, wanting to gauge his reaction. I couldn't understand how Hunter had managed to come up with this belief of his. He seemed to think so little of himself that he failed to realize that Sienna loved him just as much as he loved her. It was as though he considered himself to be unlovable. He may be the Reaper, but he's still human. Which means he craves love just as much as every other human being. But I think he feels he's unworthy of being loved and that his actions and lifestyle meant that he shouldn't be loved."That's unlikely.""Why?" I asked. Needing to know the rationale behind his words.Hunter looked at me, unsure as to how he should respond. I watched as the question settled over him, confusing him all the more. It was clear he didn't know much about Sienna from the time they had first met to now. It was evident that the Sienna from before was long gone. But had he seriously not seen that? Or had Kevin's attempt

...Hunter POV...About an hour later, my phone rings with another incoming call from Ace. I send the call directly to voicemail in hopes that he gets the message. I waited a couple of minutes for the alert that he had left the message. Javier walks into my office with a confused look on his face."Are you not going to listen to that?" He asks, pointing to my phone from the ping of the voicemail alert. I shrug my shoulders and place my phone on my desk instead. Javier sends me a frustrated look in return but doesn't say anything. Instead, he walks over to my desk and grabs my phone. I grit my teeth in annoyance but allow him to play the message."PLEASE! Hunter! I'm begging you. Put an end to this. Sienna isn't fighting back. They're going to kill her if you don't put a stop to this!" Ace shouts over the roar of the crowd."Sienna! You need to fight back! Please! Fight back!" Ace screams at the top of his lungs. From the sound of the background noise, he was pushing through a crowd t

...Hunter POV..."Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!" I bellowed out once I made it to the safety of my room. I had taken off for my room so I could have some privacy. After what Javier had just found out, my mind was in turmoil. I couldn't stop but run every single possibility through my head. Leaving me with only a few possible outcomes.A- Sienna agreed to the fight to gain my attention. Therefore regardless of whether I show up or not, she won't actually partake in the fight.B- Sienna agreed to the fight, intending that I would go there to stop her. But if I wasn't there to stop her, then the fight wouldn't happen, and Sienna would give up any further attempts to try and find me.C- Sienna agreed to the fight knowing full well what the results would be; without caring either way. She planned on me coming there to stop her, but if I didn't she would fight to what would probably be a gruesome death.I felt my blood run cold. For the first time in a long time, I wasn't sure what to do. One of

...Ace POV...From the moment Hunter had picked up Sienna, he hadn't set her down. He held her tight in his arms the entire way to our destination.I didn't know where we were going, but I didn't really care so long as I was by Sienna's side. I figured we would be going to a hospital to have Sienna looked after. So consider me surprised when I find ourselves at Hunter's house. "Why are we here? We should be taking her to the hospital." I state, confused. I look over to Hunter; however, from the look he sends me, I know I messed up. No one questions the Reaper. The raw look of fury on his face makes me gulp in fear. Desperately hoping Hunter will forgive me."I have the best technology available. Better than most hospitals. She'll be well taken care of." Hunter states without even paying me a glance. Instead, holding Sienna closer to him as he walks towards the entrance of his house. The doctor treating Sienna hadn't said anything the entire way here. He was the one that drove us here

The Huntress 90. Sudden Goodbyes
Once the plane landed, the men on the plane escorted us outside to some waiting all-terrain vehicles that were well-equipped to handle the rough and snowy climate. My heart practically stopped as we stepped out of the plane. The cold temperature was no joke. It was in the mild twenties when we left LA. From the harsh breeze hitting my skin, I would have to guess that it was closer to negative twenty here. With the wind chill, it easily felt as though it was close to negative forty out. This meant there was no chance of survival if we tried to escape. I didn't waste any time getting myself and Sienna into the enclosed vehicles. It was far too cold outside, and we weren't dressed for the harsh climate. Sienna was still out like a light, making her more susceptible to the harsh conditions. I could feel her body grow cold in my grasp, encouraging me to hold her firmly in my embrace in hopes of transferring some of my heat to her.A while later, we were escorted into a hidden building. Th
The Huntress 89. Momento
...Asher POV...I couldn't believe I had let us get caught. I was mad at myself more than anything. I should've planned for something like this. Eli and I went through the same training, yet he was a step ahead of me. I hated him for that. But mostly, I hated myself for getting us in this position. I hated that Sienna was hurt, and it was all my fault.Thankfully, her injuries weren't substantial. As she guessed, the bullet wound was a quick in and out, which meant that she would heal fine. If the bullet were still inside or an inch left or right, the injury would've been more substantial. But I can tell from her injury that Eli never planned on killing her. Rather he just wanted to subdue her. It was no secret that Sienna was highly trained. Eli probably even trained her as well at some point. So he would know that she was a capable fighter, and her instincts would be to fight back. Shooting her would be the quickest way to get a reaction from her, as it would be the last thing she
The Huntress 88. Drowning
...Sienna POV...My eyes slowly began to flutter open. It felt like I had been run over by a train. I tried to keep my head in an upright position, but it was as though it was weighted down with lead. My stomach began to twist as I tried to keep my head upright, to the point that I had to stop for fear of throwing up all over myself."Good. You're awake." I hear someone call out. However, I can't seem to make out the voice. It sort of sounds familiar, yet not at the same time. My head was pounding so hard that it felt as though someone was beating a drum directly beside my ears. My instincts were to cover my ears, but my arms wouldn't move when I tried. I tried not to panic, but it was growing increasingly difficult. I couldn't remember what was going on or where I was.What happened? I wanted to know, but no words would come out. I tried once more to straighten my head, only to be met with a brutal force, snapping my head to the side. I knew my vision was blurred without even atte
The Huntress 87. Peace Treaty
...Jace POV...The next hour was pure madness. The moment Damian informed me that he believed something was wrong, I couldn't help but think the same. I had explicitly instructed Asher not to get involved in this. He was supposed to be with Sienna. Taking some much-needed time off from work. Not dwelling further into this case. I don't know what p*ssed me off the most. The fact that Asher had gone behind my back, or the fact that he had dragged Sienna into this as well. Damian was going to blow a gasket the next time I saw him. Damian has always been more protective over Sienna than his sons. It wasn't because he was sexist or believed Sienna to be weak. But rather, he's nearly lost her too many times in the past. It was nothing short of a miracle she wasn't killed when Chase managed to trap Haley and Damian in Zane's apartment. Haley sustained numerous bullet wounds and nearly died. In fact, she technically did. The doctors pulled the plug on her as they realized that no medical int
The Huntress 86. Bitter Dispute
...Damian POV...After hanging up the phone with Hunter, I couldn't deny the worrying feeling he gave me. Something was off. First, Zach told me that he saw Sienna at Stone Johnson, of all places. I knew she was more involved with the medical side of the business. But she was supposed to be in England. As much as I wanted to assign her a guard, I knew she wouldn't go for it. Asher was the only one she actually took to. But even still, she found a way to escape him. Sienna is far more independent than I would like. Then as if that wasn't bad enough, I get a phone call from Hunter, of all people claiming that he received a notification from Stone Johnson. It didn't take a scientist to determine that the two instances couldn't be just a mere coincidence. Something had definitely happened. I just wasn't sure what. It also seemed as though Hunter was withholding information from me. Call it my paternal instincts, but I could tell something was up. Hunter wouldn't call me if nothing were
The Huntress 85. Compromised Position
...Asher POV...I wasn't sure what to make of what was happening. But I could tell from Everett's words that he was being sincere. Why else would he have woken me up? He had drugged me, rendering me unconscious. He had ample opportunity to kill me. He didn't have to wake me up, but he did, which meant that he was trying to help us. While I may not fully comprehend what was happening, I could tell Everett was nothing more than a pawn trapped in Silvio's plan. Until I knew what had happened to Sienna, I couldn't risk being found out. Everett had helped me by waking me up. At least this way, I could potentially form a plan. But most importantly, I needed to find out where Sienna was. I desperately hoped that she had managed to escape. But something inside me knew that wasn't the case. I just hoped they hadn't hurt her.I was practically kicking myself for allowing us to get caught in all of this. I was sure we had covered all of our bases. But we had forgotten about one important detail
The Huntress 84. Black Out
...Everett POV..."F*CK!" I shouted once Asher passed out before me.I couldn't believe what was happening. This was becoming so complicated. I never wanted anyone else to be involved with this. But the moment Sienna and Asher came here, I knew things were going to become drastically worse. I just hope there's something that can be done. I've been around Eli and Cole long enough to know that they won't allow anyone to mess up their plans.On the contrary, what they failed to realize was that they couldn't involve the Stone's without there being some form of retribution. I'm sure Damian has already been made aware of Sienna's presence at the facility if he didn't already know. He'll be the first one on our backs if Sienna goes missing. Damian is ruthless when it comes to business. He wouldn't hesitate to pull his funding and completely ruin everything I've spent decades working on. What I had told Asher was the truth. I started this business as a way to help my mom. People always say
The Huntress 83. Bad Feelings
...Hunter's POV...I had been on edge all day. The problem, though, was I had no idea why, but for some reason, I couldn't shake this feeling that something was wrong."¿Patron?" Javier calls out, grabbing my attention.I turn around to look at him, crossing my arms over my chest in hopes of steadying my heartbeat. It wasn't that his presence made me nervous, only that I felt as though I was walking on pins and needles, afraid that I would take the wrong step and trigger something. I couldn't explain why I was so on edge. I've been feeling like this for over a week now. But why? Nothing out of the ordinary was taking place here. Rather, it had been rather silent. I had already reclaimed my title, so no one even dared so much as talk out of turn. I made it painfully clear what I do to traitors. I eliminated every single person that had gone against me in one way or another. I even went as far as eliminating the families of all those involved, wiping out anyone that dared to cross my p
The Huntress 82. Desert Storm
"What? Nothing to say?" Everett asks, walking towards me to guide me out of his office. I feel his hand on my elbow, gently guiding me towards the door, which makes me realize I need to get it together. We've come too far to give up now. I can't just walk out empty-handed while Sienna is in with Eli."Wait." I call out, firming my feet along to the floor, preventing Everett from pushing me further."What is it? What could you possibly have to say that would change my mind? Are you going to add a sob story on Damian's behalf? Or perhaps your grandfather forced you to do this?" Everett asks with a curious brow as he awaits my possible excuse.I huff out in annoyance, knowing I no longer have any other options. Either I come clean now or risk never finding Silvio.I quickly reach into the waistband of my pants and grab my gun. I raise it quickly, preventing him from moving. However, to my surprise, Everett simply crosses his arms over his chest as if he was bored."I think it's time we h
