THE HUNTERS

Fill the blanc

I opened my eyes and found myself in a room with limited light. Well, it was neither bright nor dark. It was dimmer. The only source of light was from the crack between the curtains.

I tried to get up but found it hard to do so. Then I just sliced myself up a little to get to a sitting position and get a better view of my environment before doing some stupid. If I was like my brother I would probably yank myself to the door but like I said we were opposite yet complete each other.

Now sitting, I looked around. The first I realized was the room was very tidy. There was a flat-screen TV on the wall right in front of the bed. There were two doors not far from each other, I presumed they were bathroom and closet. There was a desk and a laptop on it. The walls painted were off-white shade. The curtains were blackout gold and also saw that everything in the room was rather gold or white. I like the decoration. The designer of the room did a very good job. I continued my curiosity and saw some paintings and pictures on the walls. Two of them cut my eyes, one was a picture of my mother with two babies and the other was me.

The strength I did not have back then to get out of the bed suddenly came back. I was in front of the pictures more like paintings with my mouth open like a deer on the headlight. Then I realized who the room belonged to when I saw his picture, it was Alpha Rohan's room.

I went to the third door far away from the other two and opened it. I came face to face with Rohan holding a tray of food. He was a little puzzled seeing me and then composed himself with a smile.

I guessed I was tranced by his smile because I didn't hear him talking not until he was waving his in front of my face. Getting out of my phase I asked him, “ where I am and what the hell happened and where is my brother”

He sighed to get back inside and set the tray on his day. Gesture to sit on the bed and sit in front of me.

The way he was looking at me kind of troubled me but not in a bad way just troubled. He took a deep breath, smiled, and said, “ you are in my packhouse and in my bedroom to be precise. Your brother is in the conference room waiting. And for what happened you walk in a crossfire and got hurt”. His voice was so calmed and inviting. I felt like I could hear him talk to me for hours.

However, I shake my head and started “ I know about getting hit by the fire. What am asking is what happen afterward? I can seem to remember”.

“Wait what? You don't remember,” he questioned and I just shook my head. “You were on fire love. After you hit that bolder you took a couple of seconds to get up and went after the demon and your brother was surprised seeing you on fire even me I was too since you smelled like a human a couple of seconds before.” he added.

“Hun! I don't remember any of that and why my brother was surprised. It is not the first time I fought supernatural creatures” I exclaimed.

“No my love, you were literally on fire. I thought you were a mere human when first walked in,” he said

I gasped and standard up quickly and I questioned a little loud, “ what do you mean by literally on fire? And yes I am a human that was cursed by your kind.”

After a few minutes, my brother botched inside the room and came directly by my side and asked Rohan, “ what did you do to her? Why is she yelling?” I guess I was more than a little loud.

Rohan pitched his nose bridge and said, “ nothing I will never hurt her. And my love my kind can't curse anyone that is a witch thing to do.”

“I know that and just mean every monstrous creature. And please stop calling me your love because I am not and my name is Jaira.” I yelled.

Rohan smiled stated “ ok Jaira. And you are my love.”

I chose to ignore him and turned to my brother with the question look and he just knew what I was asking for because he subjected we went home and have a conversation with our aunt. However, Rohan didn't like the idea of me leaving because he sternly said that I was not leaving him now that he has found me. That turn into an argument between us but a part of me did want to start close to him.

Nevertheless, the three of us concluded that all of us would go and head out of the room. While walking out of what I imagine is the packhouse, I got some looks. Some are good, some are puzzles and some are straight bad but that was not of my business. When we reached the porch a guy came to us more like Rohan and asked, “alpha where are you going? Should I accompany you?” But Rohan declined the offer and said, “ no Micah I will be fine on my own, and where I am going is personal.”

For some reason, I liked the fact he didn't elaborate on our destination and not invited the other guy to come too. After a couple of steps, Rohan told the guy whose name is Micah “ I don't know when I will be back but in my absence beta Micah you are in charge.” With that bit of info, we went out the pack to the town to get our car.

The whole drive home I have one thing on my mind is why did Rohan mean but literally on fire. I was going overboard with my thoughts and my brother's silence did help either. Him, subjected my aunt before jumped to the conclusion kind of scared me.

After what seems like to be fifty minutes of my brother's fast and furious drove we got home. I did even wait for him to properly park in the car to get out of it and went straight to the backyard of our mansion where I knew aunt will be.

The moment aunt Mel saw me, she smiled and a few seconds later it turned into a frown. And said, “why did you bring a creature with you? And where is your brother?” when she registered me whole she questioned “ what happened to you sweetheart”

With an angry look on my face, I answered her, “ that is exactly what I want to know.” I told her everything that I remembered that happened to me from getting to the pack, hit by the fireball, and everything Rohan had told me.

From her facial expression, I knew there was more to the story.
