All Chapters of Beloved Huntress: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

  The warehouse was quiet as she crouched down behind a pallet full of cement-mix bags. She had managed to find a way in through a rotten looking hole in the wall, that looked like it had been caused by storm damage. It hadn't quite been big enough and she had scraped a long line of skin off of her shoulder where she had caught it on a piece of protruding splintered wall panel. There was also a very strong possibility that said piece of panel had a few rusty nails sticking out of it, so a tetanus shot might be in order after this assignment was complete.After a quick evaluation of her injuries, she concluded that it was just a scratch and there was nothing more she could do right now, but was hi

The wolf had gone in for the killing blow, aiming for her throat. Thankfully Izzie had managed to flinch away, but not far enough as the wolf's teeth sank deep into her shoulder. Pain engulfed her as she felt the sickening crunch of bone beneath its powerful jaws.Her hands grasped wildly at its mouth, trying to prise it off of her but it only made it bite harder. The wolf started trying to shake its head, trying to tear the flesh away but she held on to it, not giving it the leverage it needed to do so. The pain in her shoulder was so intense that she could barely breathe and she started to feel the warm sticky puddle forming beneath her head as the wolf continued to try and maul her.

Those few days in hospital passed along all too quickly and it wasn't long before Izzie was making her way down to the reception to get discharged.She clutched the paper bag containing her pain meds and her discharge note from the doctor in her good hand, while her other was strapped tightly against her chest. The nurse had to help her get dressed in the clothes that Jake had dropped off for her the day previous. The sling was too bulky and padded for her to manage, though she was going to have to adapt and quickly as she had to stay strapped up for six weeks while the fractures in her shoulder healed.The clack of her boots against the floor was loud and confident as she walke

Izzie's jaw dropped as a stranger strolled into her kitchen. The first thing to catch her eye was that tight grey T-shirt that seemed to cling onto every hard toned muscle but leaving just enough to the imagination. The stranger completed his casual-yet-sexy ensemble with the classic blue levis and a pair of somewhat worn sneakers. His dark hair was unruly and looked like he'd just stepped out of the shower, and his pale skin had a slight sheen to it that backed up that theory. Finally, her gaze met his and she immediately saw a spark of amusement within those grey eyes as he realised she was gawking. She felt herself blush a little, but couldn't pull her gaze away.This stranger looked like Cassius, but it couldn't be Cassi

Izzie jolted awake, gasping as she sat upright. Her heart was beating wildly and she was covered in a thin sheen of sweat. What the hell just happened?
