His Prey.

The Prey  Summary  18+ Most of the world's population is a combination of magical creatures, but the law remains, and humans are rarely seen as fit enforcers.

Known as the last human in the FBI, she will do anything to keep her respected reputation as the best Forensic scientist in the field, but what if the price she must pay is her life... or heart? Dedication  This story is for the misunderstood. For the ones that can't explain how they feel, because they don't even understand it themselves. Chapter 1 : The Victim  Jackson POV Jackson starts his day off like any other. His wife kisses the side of his face to wake him. Her touch alone describes exactly what she is craving. Groggy from sleep he still wraps his arm around her waist and pulls her towards him. His own hunger drives him as her bare skin touches his underneath satin sheets. She cries out as he touches her where she needs him most. He doesn’t waste time as he thrusts into her waiting heat. They make love hard and fast. Even out of breath he still kisses her. Jackson loved his wife, but he loved himself more. His hands travel down her swollen stomach and a kick from his son makes tears jump to his eyes. His wife tells him about her day and his mind travels to his own demons.  He goes to the bathroom and starts his morning ritual, but when he washes his face something feels off. It feels like someone is behind him. He growls and swings around, but he is  alone.  Something taps against the door, but after a second he hears his future Beta calling for him. It snaps the unnerving thoughts right out of him and he laughs under his breath. He goes to train with his future pack and can’t ignore the excitement in the air. Tomorrow he will be crowned as the new Alpha of the Manhattan pack. All his dreams were falling into place. Everything he had ever wanted was just a day away. Kita’s eyes find his as they finish up with training. Like every other day they meet in her room. She wraps her arms around him and even though Sarah’s face flashes before his eyes, he still kisses her.  After the first time you cheat, you don’t really know how to stop. But he knew he had to, the moment his son comes into this world Kita will be sent to another pack. Far far away. He doesn’t care that she doesn’t find her release. He pulls up his pants and tells her it was the last time. She breaks down and threatens that she’s going to tell his wife. They both knew she wouldn’t because Sarah was her best friend. He didn’t know exactly when this affair started. That's a lie. It started after that night. His day flies by, and as he is lost in his thoughts while standing in the shower his phone rings.  “It’s someone called Hendricks! I’ll answer it!” Sarah shouts, and Jackson loses all control in a matter of a second. ‘No!” he rushes out of the shower and before he can stop it, his hand shoots out. He grips her arm hard, and her mouth falls open in shock. He grabbed her too hard, but He didn’t know how to stop it. His heart was beating in his ears. Sarah throws off his arm in shock. He has never touched her that way before. A moment slowly passed between us. The confusion and hurt flashing in her blue eyes makes him question everything. He doesn’t know what to say. He just needed to get her away from this phone. From the secret that could rip his life apart in seconds. Tears burn her eyes as the phone still presses against her ear.  “Here he is,” she says, her voice breaking with emotion. He convinces himself that he was just trying to protect her. He grabs the phone and turns his back on her. He couldn’t look at her.  “Why the f**k are you calling me?” He growls, and the person laughs on the other side of the line.  ‘’You don’t even know, do you?” he says without a hint of surprise or fear in his voice.  “Goodbye asshole,” before he can end the call he shouts something that feels like pure gasoline in Jackson’s stomach.  “Fran, Seff, Daren and Hugo are dead! We’re being hunted,” his voice sounds haunted as he says it and his words rip the air out of Jackson’s lungs. He just stares at the floor. Silence.  “That’s impossible,” Jackson whispers and turns around just in time to see Sarah slam the door shut behind her as she storms out.  “There is a serial killer on the loose, called the Night butcher,” he says and clears his throat. “The FBI haven’t made the connection yet, but I know it can’t be a coincidence! I just had to warn you man! If you hear how they are being slaughtered.. It's just..” his voice shakes and he swallows hard in Jackson’s ear. His heart is beating louder in his ears making it impossible to focus on his breathing.   “We’re the last two left,” he says and then hangs up. Jackson stares at his phone and as his mind registers everything he grabs his chest trying to calm his heart. It's no use. He throws his phone against the wall and shifts into his wolf form and starts tearing their room apart. Sarah comes storming back into the room and calms him down immediately before he can do any more damage. He looks into her eyes and comes undone as he changes back into his human form. He clings to her.  “I knew it, I knew it,” He breathes against her neck and tears are stuck in his throat. She holds him tighter and as her pregnant stomach brushes against him… He goes rigid. His family was in danger. Everything was unraveling way too fast.  “I need to get as far away as I can,” He says and she pulls back and stares at him confused.  “Jackson talk to me, what is going on?” she begs as he rubs his hands over her arm. The one that he bruised. He bends down to kiss it softly.  “I can’t tell you, just forgive me ok. For everything,” He kisses her hard and she pulls back.  “You're scaring me!” She cries as he lets her go.  ‘I need to go, I’ll come find you when I’m safe!” He says and she shakes her head, but he doesn’t wait. He just runs, because nothing else felt right. 10 hours later.  As Jackson stops at the airport he checks out the fake ID laying on his passenger seat. He was going to leave this car here and when the killer was captured he could return to his family. He sends his father a message telling him he would explain everything to him when he got back. He didn’t know how long it would be. He looks at the date and feels his blood go cold. He was going to miss his son's birth. Six days and he would be here. Six days.  For a moment he wishes Hedricks never called him. He is still lost in his thoughts when something hits the side of his car. As if someone had run right into it. He freezes. He slowly looks to the side and realizes he’s the only one left in this parking lot. He could have sworn there were multiple cars here. He’s about to grab his phone, but something hits the side of his car again. He locks the doors and cringes at the sound it makes. He waits. A minute passes. Whatever hit his car was gone. He takes a deep breath and shakes his head. He thought he was just being paranoid. That maybe his mind was just playing tricks on him. The lights of the parking lot go off. He curses as he quickly turns on the engine. He flicks on the lights and pauses. Someone just stepped out of the direct light. That face. His car doors unlock on their own. He tries to lock them again, but they won’t. He hits the gas, but the car doesn’t move. The wheels start creating smoke…  it's like they are stuck in the same spot.  “f**k this!” He shouts and kicks off the car door and shifts into his wolf form. He was an Alpha! He wasn’t scared of anything and nobody messed with him or his family. He uses his night vision to look around slowly. He starts growling when he hears faint laughter coming from behind him. He looks over his shoulder and realizes his car is gone. He feels a breath tingling against the side of his face. He stays frozen in place.  “Time to play,” a voice whispers.
