All Chapters of The Huntress: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

...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

...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

...Sienna POV...There was an annoying beeping sound ringing in my ears. I placed my hands over my ears in hopes of quenching the sound. However, it wouldn't stop. Why was it so loud? My head felt like I had repeatedly smashed it along the sidewalk. I hadn't even opened my eyes, but I knew my vision would be spinning. I felt so sick to my stomach and everything hurt. I couldn't remember what had happened that made me feel like this. I didn't even know where I was.I squinted my eyes in hopes of figuring out where I was, but the room was too bright. The light from the room made it feel as though I was looking directly into the sun. The pain was only adding to my extreme headache. I hissed out in pain wishing for the lights to turn off."Sienna?" I heard someone call out, but I couldn't place the voice. It sounded familiar, but I couldn't figure out how I recognized it."Make it stop." I replied on instinct, desperately trying to cover my eyes from the bright lights. I heard a quick shu

...Ace POV...I ran my hand along my neck in complete annoyance. I can't believe this was the guy that owned Sienna's heart. While he may be a genius in other aspects, he certainly was an idiot when it came to her. He didn't seem to know the first thing about feelings and people. He didn't even seem to consider Sienna's feelings in all of this. Sienna was a strong woman. She's only proven that in many ways. Not only can she handle herself in a fight, but she isn't one to back down. She is always the first to take a stand against something she feels strongly about. She's independent as hell, but I can tell that at the end of the day, she wants nothing more than to be cared for. She wants to feel loved and protected, the same way any person wants to feel. We may have a strong exterior, but inside, we're all just puppies craving to be held. As much as he refuses to see it, Hunter is exactly like Sienna. They both act strong and emotionless, but on the inside, they're craving the same th

...Three Months Later...I spent the past few months recovering from my injuries. I moved into the penthouse with the twins. After Javier had released me from his care, the first thing I did was go to them. They were furious at first but eventually agreed to let me stay with them. The penthouse used to belong to my parents before they moved into our current house. The twins split their time spending it at our parents' house and the penthouse. My parents had originally gifted the penthouse to Maverick when he came of age. However, Maverick was doing quite well for himself at work, so didn't need it. Instead, he gifted it to the twins, knowing that they would want a place to themselves. Whether Maverick knew about the twins' side hustle, I wasn't sure. But if I were to guess, Maverick knew they were into something dangerous, just not exactly sure what specifically. It wasn't exactly a topic that would bring up in a normal conversation, and as far as the twins were concerned, I was th
