All Chapters of The Hunter's Trial : Chapter 11 - Chapter 16

“Higgins!” Rayla rushed to his side as he slowly reverted back to his human form, nearly slumping into an unconscious state. “You’re alright.” She pointed out. Higgins finally had a taste of the blood in the woodling creature, his insatiable wolf finally relented, But was that the reason?He was completely naked but she didn’t mind, she reached for and cradled him on her lap, praising his tenacity. “You surprise me, you know right?” She said. Higgins led with a smile as a fading smirk crept unto his expression. “I proved you wrong.” He said. “What?” Rayla asked. “What are you talking about?” She added. “You didn’t tally any dead body, that gremlin doesn’t count.” He said, as his almost letting go invited a chuckle. “I love you, Eleanor.” He added. “What?” Rayla became flustered. “Higgins!” “He must’ve been seeing things.” She concluded in her thoughts, although with very little affirmation in her tone for even her to believe it.

I’ve told you most of what I know already so why are you so hesitant to let me know if he’s going to strangle me or something.” Rayla said as she found much fault in his apprehensiveness and brushing off tendencies.It felt as if he had intentionally been trying to push her away and the feeling irradiated from his rough manner of speaking.“What do you want from me Rayla, you don’t even know me.” He said, in an alive tone that wrought confusion at her persistence to pry further.“Whose fault is that?” She asked.“I only ask that you let off Travis, you already have me staying in his house. Now, after I explicitly told you not to trust him or tell him about anything, you come here asking me for information concerning things in my past.” Higgins saidHiggins had now been backed against the wall and couldn’t proceed because she obstructed his path, he needed to let her off.“What
