Freedom for an Angel

Chapter Three

The guy turned out to be Jack. He was the carpenter that fixed my wall later that week.

We hung out for hours catching up. Laughing and crying while laughing. Jack got serious towards the end of the night. Already guessing about what, I waited for him like always. Hunting and s*x. He is always wanting me to give up information about the supernatural world. Being a hunter that has good health and is a strong human that wants laid but every woman he's come across wants money but he doesn’t have much being a carpenter/hunter.

Jack asked me over the last couple years but I wont give any secrets away or get into bed with a hunter. Jack wants to also have kids with me and others but always gets turned down. Jack slowly spoke " I know I've asked over the last few years but please consider it. You're stronger then any woman I've met, great sense of responsibility and plenty of room for them to run around." Oh there's just one stipulation, " All you have to do is quit your jobs as a bouncer, bounty hunter and pi. Be a stay at home mom. You'll love it. I'll support you and everything." I rolled my eyes at him and said the same thing I always do.

"No. Those jobs are my life. I'm not made to be a stay at home mom nor do my kind allow us to breed with others. You know that. Better then anyone, considering I'm not the first banshee you've tried to mate with." As always it pisses him off that me an angel/banshee (he doesn’t know about the angel) won't even think about breaking the code set by the ancient banshees. It upsets him that a woman of my "physique" would turn someone of his stature down.

Jack is pretty cocky because of his looks. Jack is 6ft even with wavy dusty blonde hair and light blue eyes. Fairly muscular, Lightly tanned for an Englishman and his English accent. His cocky attitude and one sided standards that he's created is what makes his three wives regret not pay attention to his personality and attitude to before agreeing to marry him and carry his kids. For a hunter like him anyone who carries his children get special treatment and a specific diet that will help ensure those kids will be healthy and strong.

Jack seems to think that his good looks and big stature would help him get any woman and intimidate any man. Hunters are very social humans but their more violent then our worst creatures back home. Jack thought he could claim me when he first spotted me. You have thought an earthquake had started. Leon almost sent Jack to the morgue. Jack had not understood the word no till that day. Jack grabbed my hair when I tried to walk away, I was helping out in Leon's high-end club as a waitress that night. I wasn’t able to use my powers or anything that would have helped me avoid him.

Jack grabbed my hair and started pulling me backwards, thinking he was going to get away with just taking me away. Leon saw me getting pulled around by my hair under his office glass floor, its like a one way mirror. Leon flipped s**t, he did a full blown shift and the weight of Killer's paws shattered the glass like it was nothing. Killer was lowly and deeply growling. Jack stood shocked being eye level to a werewolf.

Only for a moment though as then Jack got offended and pulled a gun with his free hand. He pushed me down to the ground and put his boot on my head to keep me down. A thunderous howl echoed my scream of shock and slight panic. Jack made tsking sounds and ugh sound came out of his mouth. Shouting out a warning that I was his and to back off, he leaned down to pick me up by my neck. Leon lunged forward knocking him away from me and on the now empty dance floor. You wouldn’t believe how shocking and stupid it was to see a hunter and werewolf standing face to face. Jack was only about to Killers throat. That actually made Jack hesitate a bit.

Killer stood protectly over me and standing proud at full height, his eyes almost glowing with anger and everyone in the club scrambled to get out of Killer's way. Jack was mere intimidation for most people but Killer, it was respect and loyalty that caused people move protectively in front of the waitresses and female patrons. Jack watched the shift curiously not understanding the cause. The hunter silently scratched his head in annoyance as he glared at me. I ignored him, walking up beside Killer, running my fingers through his fur. Reaching Killer's head, my brother lowered it so he could check me over while I scratched his ears.

Signaling that he was done and satisfied he huffed in my face and lowered his body so I can get up on his back. Jack watched in confusion while I giggled happily as he stood up to his full 6ft 5in. Yes I giggled, yes I am only nineteen but when your big brother offers a ride on his back to you, you don't turn it down. Jack then asked as he couldn’t understand why the owner of a high end club would even bother with a waitress of lower class. Killer snarled at Jack's words. Killer menacingly stepped forward, growling, baring his teeth, warning Jack to shut up. I conveyed Killers words and finished with a promise.

" This is my brother Leon and it does not matter if it's me or another woman. You do not and will not touch anyone here or in any of Leon's bars again. Worker or customers. You are lucky that I'm able to tame my brothers anger, you would not survive a fight with an alpha anyway." Jack's eyes widened in shock but I watched as resignation slowly appear in them as well. He bowed his head as a sign of apology and submit as it dawned on him that he most definitely would have died. My brother lifted his head, releasing a deep and mighty howl to signify his status and of Jacks withdrawal from the fight.

Killer then huffs again, indicating that he was set and satisfied with the outcome, he wants to go for a run so some of the workers open up the French bay doors leading to the forest as most of his clubs line up near a tree line for all shifters, vampires, and witches who need to be near nature to stay grounded. As humans would freak out and hunt us if they knew. Killer, when angered, keeps me near as I'm the only one to calm him. So I got to ride for a twelve mile around trip. Six miles out and six miles back. It was a decent night. Warm with a slight breeze, the stars twinkled brightly with a quarter moon. Killer was sprinting happily with his tongue hanging out. I hung on calmly and relaxed in between his shoulder blades.

Between his smooth gate and my f****d up work hours I fell into a deep comfortable sleep. I woke to Leon carrying me inside the club, up the stairs to his office bed room. Leon must have really calmed down because when I woke up again Jack was sitting in the chair across from Leon. Jack was trying to convince my brother about taking me to be one of Jacks wives. From where I was standing I already knew Leon heard me up and about. Leon continued to listen to a futile attempt from a man that has no understanding about who my brother is or how important it was that we stay together. Needless to say Jack failed and is still failing to this day.

I told Jack that it was time to turn in as I have a big list to do tomorrow. I got home and crawled into a deep, dark and dreamless sleep. I woke later to the mixed smell of blood and smoke with a gun shot accompanying it. I was up in an instant hearing a painful howl. I switched places with Vitani completely. A banshee isn't fast and I can't show any sign that I have angel blood. My eyes changed to her dark blue and my lips darkened to deep lush red, our hair color shifted to red with black streaks. Her skin tone turned to a dark tan that is close to dark gold.

Vitani (pov)

I used my flash-step to search the house. I got to the top of the stairs when a shot rang out then a second, the smell of blood and sudden pain made me look down. A bullet went into my stomach, the second into my leg. I looked down the stairs at a guy smoking in my house. God I hate cig smoke. I knocked his ass out and I heard another painful howl, the tone and familiar power emitting off it was enough to make me realize it was Oh God No! KILLER. There was only one place left, the roof. I flash-stepped to the roof and the scene horrified me and angered me. More gunfire, all aimed at my brother, I don't know why they were trying to kill him but I was madder then hell.

Using flash-step I got to Leon, who was on the other side of the roof. Picking up my dying brother who I did not want to lose. Knowing who ordered the shooting. Having gathered my fluffy brother I jumped off the roof causing everything to cease, so much so pin dropping could be heard. Gently setting him down on the ground I turned to face them. Their faces paled at the sight of me. I still have blood pouring out of my stomach and leg, then being covered in my brothers blood made me appear even scarier and it was a little funny. Calling on Siren's song, my sword, I cut all their guns to pieces. Picking Leon up I head off to a healing witch. I heard sirens coming our way. Killer heard them too, howling to call for help, others joined him answering his call for help.

Soon I heard gunfire and growls accompanied by painful yelps, howls and shouting. When we got far enough I called to them, to gather the wounded and move out fast before they got killed. I came to the witches house with Leon in human form dying. She came running out trying to support me while getting us inside. She told me to put him on a healing alter.

Now we wait……
