Chapter 15
Lar the hunter's POV
When Vapo came running back home, I thought he was being chased or something. He was back way too soon; we are usually out for a few months, sometimes just a month, to see if we could find wolf shifters. When we find them, we either put a bullet in their head or an arrow. I saw the look on his face; we all stood up, ready to fight whoever was chasing him. I knew my girl was in the room sleeping; she had just gotten back from hunting herself. She is hot. When she goes out, she wears all black. She says she hunts at night; that's when they usually come out, and when they do, she gets them. She brings one of their ears back to show us. I think that's badass. She even made a necklace out of the ears. She dries them out, of course, makes sure there is no blood left in them, then leaves them in the sun to dry them out. She lets the bugs finish it off, and whatever is left, she hangs it around a necklace. She's the toughest hunter I have ever seen in my hundred years. Vapo told us what he saw and scented out.
"I don’t know how she got out. But she is the only one left. If she finds out we are around, she is going to scent us out and come after us. We will be the hunted."
"Vapo, you need to think. Who was she with? Was she with an alpha, beta, gamma? We need to know this, Vapo. Instead of eavesdropping the conversation, you could have followed them and then put a bullet in her head. But instead, you ran all the way back here to let us know this."
"Listen, don't put me down like this. What did you do when a wolf was chasing you? Did we put you down and make you feel worthless? No, we went out and found the damn thing and killed it. So chill out. He’s an alpha; I felt the aura coming off of him. His first mate died at giving childbirth; that's what I heard, but I couldn't hear the rest because they walked off. I think she is his mate, and they went back to their pack."
"Wait, she died giving birth. How long ago did you hear that?"
"No, I didn't hear that long ago. Why are you asking that, Ray?"
"Because I might know a witch that could probably cast a spell over a siren to make him think she is his mate and not that b***h. If he kicks her out of the pack, then we can get to her. We just have to wait. I will go up to the mountains tomorrow and see what I can do. He's probably still mourning over her; maybe she can cast something to make the siren look like his mate that died. I'm not sure what she can do, but I will find out. How much money and herbs do we have?"
"We have plenty of money, but the herbs, I'm not sure how much we have. But we can get a bag full, and we can give her over five thousand."
"Then that's good enough. I'll leave out tomorrow. Vapo, since you're at home, stay home. Once I'm back, then we will all go out. Until then, let's get this plan out. If he rejects and banishes her, we will need to be quick. I'm not sure how fast she is, but we have to make it quick. One shot in the head, right between the eyes. Once it's done, then we will be fine. But if she finds out we are after her, then it's all over for us."
"You just make sure she does her job, or we would lose that money. It took five months just to make that, and those herbs. They just don't grow from trees. It took several months for them to grow. If she doesn't work out, then we end her as well."
Hunter's POV
After showing Bayley around, we went into the pack house to eat dinner. I was starving, but I was always hungry. Before we went inside, I felt uneasy, like something was coming. I wasn’t sure what it was, but if it’s coming, then let it come. I’m not in the mood for rogues right now because if they come, I’m ending all of them. We sat at the table with my Beta and his mate, Con and Candi. She was always quiet, so I’m not sure what it is about her. I really didn't trust her, but she is Con's mate; he will have to find out for himself.
