Page 75 of The Alpha's Huntress

“You think supernatural creatures are the only ones with a council?”

“That’s what I thought.”

“Well you thought wrong. Hunter have a council too. The council decides the laws of hunting supernatural creatures. They have been kept a secret for as long as werewolves have been hidden. For instance werewolf hunters can only kill rogues but if a wolf from a pack attacks first then you can kill them.” I explained.

“OK continue.”

“Usually the council only summons you when you have broken a law. Other times they want to see you because of something that has happened during hunting. Example: Logan secretly being a rogue. If you break a major law then they will either retire early or become a rogue hunter.”

“Rogue hunter?”

“You think werewolves are the ones who came up with the meaning of rogue?” I questioned.

“Sorry, please explain.”

“A rogue hunter is a criminals against the council. They kill any werewolf in sight. The kill for fun. Some hunters are assigned to capture the rogue hunters and bring them to the council for punishment.”

“So how did you become a hunter?”

“In order to become an official to the council you have to prove that you will follow he laws. I proved myself by killing Logan.” I whispered the last part.

“It makes sense now.” Blake whispered.

“What does?” I asked.

“My mom, dad, and twin sister were killed by a rogue hunter.”

“Blake you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”

“I want too.”

I nodded for him to continue.

“Me and my twin sister, Ash, shared a room when we were 9 years old. Every night my parents would come into our room and tell us stories. One night a person bursted through the window. It was a hunter. He had a blade and killed my parents and sister. He was about to kill me until another hunter came in and killed him. The guards came in and thought a killed the hunter. The pack doctor said that my mom was pregnant with my baby brother. The hunter stabbed her stomach.”

He broke down in tears.

I pulled him into a hug as he cried into my shoulder.

“I’m so sorry that happened to you.” I pulled him closer.

“It wasn’t your fault. I’m just glad you’re not like them.” He kissed my lips.

I pulled away. “You should get some rest.”

He nodded and got under the covers.

He pulled me closer an nuzzled his head in my neck.

“I love you Artemis.”

“I love you too.”
