Second Chances: Sapphire

The Devil You Know and The Devil Hunter

"Going somewhere," I said. I whipped my chain at the vamp.

"Who the hell are you," she asked. I smiled and wrapped the chain around her neck. I was about to burn her head right off her body but was pushed to the ground by another vampire.

"My love," he said to the dark-haired vamp on the floor.  I grabbed a black metal wand from my bag and lunged at the male vampire. The end was also electrically charged and would shock an enemy I hit with it. I hit him with it in the stomach a few times. The female vamp got up and ran towards me. I was faster and wrapped the chain around her neck. I started to choke her with it. I really wanted to yank her head off though. The male vampire kicked me off of her and I quickly got up and so did they. I began to fight them with my metal wand blocking most of their hits. I knew I was outnumbered but I had experience fighting vamps and I was strong. Stronger than they knew. I was about to whip my chain at the male but I felt wolves running on both sides of me. They lunged at the vampires. They all went after the male and left the female alone. I was confused by this but didn't have much time to think. She came at me and I again blocked her attack with my wand. I shocked her on the back and she fell to her knees. She was pissed. She slowly got up.

"Don't you know who I am," she said. "I am the devil."

"Well good, I'm the devil hunter," I said. I hit her as hard as I could with my wand. and then punched her on the side of her stomach. The male vampire managed to get out of the wolf's attacks and came and picked up the female and fled together. I put my stuff in my bag and threw it over my shoulders. I turned around to walk away but the biggest wolf growled at me.

"I told you I don't speak howl," I said. I knew who these three were but I wanted to act dumb. "I'm not going to say thanks either." I tried to walk away but he ran towards me and looked me in the face. I kind of knew he wanted me to go with him but I didn't want to risk it. I knew he was my mate but he was a stranger who I knew nothing about. He shifted right in front of me. He was really well endowed and very well built. The muscles looked better with no shirt. His abs were on point and had a nice v-cut. He grinned at me and led me to his car. He opened the passenger door and told me to get in with the most dominating husky tone I have ever heard. He opened the trunk and pulled out some clothes. He got dressed before he got in the car.

"Hunter?" he asked.

"No, Sapphire," I answered. He looked at me then back at the road. I knew I had made him angry but I didn't care.

"Are you a hunter?" he asked again.

"Not really," I said.

"You could get hurt out there," He said with a softer but still angry tone.

"I was doing fine if you couldn't tell," I said.

"Well that vamp and her friend our mine," he said aggressively.

"Must have really pissed you off," I said.

"You have no idea," he quickly said. I didn't want to pry but I was intrigued.

"So no mates, huh?" I asked. He laughed and took a minute to respond.

"I have you don't I," he said.

"Question is do you want me," I said. He looked at me and then looked at his phone. He quickly texted someone and then went back to looking at the road. We made it back to his house and he let me out. He walked me into his home which I remember like it was just yesterday. There was the same group of guys all waiting in the living room like last time.

"Hello boys," I said. "There will be no orgy, just so we are all clear."

"Obviously," Christian snarled. He knew that most of his men were looking at me a bit inappropriately. "Come with me," he said. I didn't want to follow him but I wasn't going to stay here with all these pervs. He walked me upstairs and led me down the hall to his bedroom.

"I am not sleeping in here," I said. He looked at me and grabbed my arm.

"I don't plan on letting you out," he said.

"Your room smells like s*x and alcohol, so I'll pass," I said. He laughed and then said

"I change my sheets every day."

"I think you need a new bed or holy water," I joked.

"The bed is quite comfortable," he said. He sat at the edge of the bed and I took a seat on the chair in front of it by the door.

"I have s*x on that too," he said.

"I bet you do but I rather stay here," I responded.

"Don't tell me you're scared," he said.

"Ha, you wish," I told him.

"Of course I do, I prefer my women to know who the one with all the power is," he said. "I love the smell that oozes out of them."

"That's kind of gross," I said. He laughed again. He must have not noticed that when he laughs he leaves a smile on his face for a few seconds. I had to admit I was getting sleepy but I was trying to fight it.

"Angel," I heard him call out but I was too far gone. I had let my eyes close for too long and fell asleep.

My angel looked peaceful when she slept. I picked her up and gently placed her on the bed. I felt my heart skip a beat when I touched her. I wanted to touch her more and especially in her most intimate areas but I rather have her be awake and complaint.

The next morning I woke up early and made sure not to disturb my angel. I enjoyed having her by my side. I think that was the best sleep I have ever had. I made my way down to the living room where my pack was already waiting for me.

"Alpha, what will you do with her," Liam asked. I knew they were anxious to know the answer. Would I allow them to have mates or reject her? They felt the pull and wanted her around just as much as I did. I didn't want to reject her but I couldn't keep her around. I can't let anyone in again. I can only trust my men and woman will only complicate things. We won't grow stronger but rather weaker.

"I'm not sure but she will be leaving as soon as she wakes up," I said. I didn't want her to leave nor would I make her but I knew she would choose to leave on her own so it would all work out on its own. Our best cook decided to make breakfast for her. I knew my man wanted to please their Luna. I actually found it nice and strange. No one and I mean no one ever wanted to do anything nice for Jessica. She was always a b***h to the rest of the pack so I understood why even though it made me sad to see no one accept her. Twenty minutes later I felt my mate wake up. Her heart was racing and I could feel she was nervous. I made my way upstairs and knocked on the door.

"Good morning," I said as she said I could come in. I walked over to her and told her she could take a shower and use my clothes if she wanted. She just nodded and headed to my bathroom. The minute I heard the shower running my c**k jerked in my pants. I would love nothing more than to see her naked and touch what is mine. She made soft noise while she showered and I just imagined them as moans I would make her let out when she felt my hand on her body. I decided to leave the room before I made my way into the shower with her. She soon came downstairs wearing my sweats and a black t-shirt. "Thank god it wasn't white," I thought. She looked so innocent right now. Not like the fighter and the sophisticated woman I had met last night and weeks ago. I walked her over to the dining room and pulled out a chair for her to sit in. Her wet hair was driving me crazy. She sat there quietly eating her breakfast until she asked.

"Who was that female vampire last night."

"No one," I said.

"Right," she said sarcastically. Well, now the smart ass was back.

"She's my problem, not yours," I told her.

"Will I fight you for her," she said.

"Nope, she is already mine," I said.

"Not if I take her from you," she laughed. Did she think this was a game or a joke? I was getting aggravated.

"You won't go anywhere near her," I growled.

"Oh, there it is," she said. "Broke your heart did she."

"ENOUGH!" I snarled.

"Fine," she said. "If she kills again she's fair game." I was pissed. I got up from my chair and pushed her's from under the table. I Ieaned down and made eye contact with her.

"Drop it before you get hurt," I said.

"And if I don't, will you hurt me?" she asked. I didn't realize I had gripped her wrists and began to put as much pressure as I could. She screeched and pushed me off of her. Before I could apologize she got up and ran out the door. I didn't chase after her I knew I needed to let her go but it was hard. I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the garage. When we ran to see what it was. One of my cars was missing and the rest were wrecked. Windows busted and tires popped.

"That b***h!" I shouted.
