All Chapters of The Hunter: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

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

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,

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

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

Chapter 69I walked to the elevator to the 7th floor and headed towards the suite at the end of the hall. I didn’t have to knock when I arrived because the door opened on its own. I stood there for a moment and then stepped inside, closing the door behind me softly. Max was at the bar pouring two drinks when I took a few steps further into the room, clearing my throat to announce my arrival. Not that he needed me to, he knew I was going to be early. I always was. He turned to face me, and he stopped dead in his tracks. I watched as his eyes roamed my entire figure, stopping only when he met my onyx eyes with his. He kept his emotions so buttoned up that I had no idea what he was thinking, but he was almost looking at me like I was a piece of meat. “See something you like?” I growled, hoping that he could hear the sarcasm in my voice. He shook his head slightly as if he were snapping out of whatever daze he was just in, and headed my way. “I always see something I like with you, doll.”
