The Werewolf Hunter

Chapter 11

"I'll kill him," I ground out through my teeth as I gently cleaned the mark and wipe away the blood smeared on Isabelle's neck. I should've killed him when I first saw him I shouldn't have listened to Izzy's cries and pleas for me to spare him. When I saw her standing in the doorway to Kyle's room... I don't think I had ever been so furious. I warned her; told her to stay away, to forget him, ignore him, but the bond doesn't work that way. I guess I understand how Izzy is feeling. It's hard to stay away from your mate, even if you're human, but I'm able to do it.

With a sigh, Isabelle moves away from my hands and lets her hair fall down her back. "I'm fine Jade, I really am. I just panicked, but there's nothing to be worried about."

"Well, I wouldn't say nothing. Do you really think that you will be able to walk around here with that on your neck?" Kyle points to the mark and raises his eyebrows. He's right. There's no way Isabelle will be able to cover this up. I mean yeah, hiding from everyone that you have a werewolf boyfriend is one thing, but a Mating Mark? I don't think so.

I let my head fall into my hands and rub my palms against my eyes. "What do you think dad is gonna do?" I huff and look at both my brother and best friend.

"I don't know, freak out, break things, kill her. I just don't know. No hunter has ever been in a situation like this and we shouldn't be either. Jeez, Izzy, how could you be so reckless?" Kyle shouts at her and stalks toward her, trying to get a good look at the mark. I rise from where I was sitting on Kyle's bed and stand in between them. Izzy steps around me and gets in his face. They have always had problems with each other and it doesn't help that they dated a l while ago. It's rare that Kyle shows any emotion anymore, but right now, it's quite obvious to me that he still cares about her.

"It's not my fault Ky. Manny just came at me, he couldn't control himself and I couldn't stop him. Even if I wanted to, I still wouldn't have been able to. I had no weapons and he is a lot stronger than a human, even a hunter. But I know he would never hurt me on purpose. Can't you guys understand that? Can't you understand that he cares about me and I care about him?! I don't care that he's a werewolf! I don't care that he's a Beta! And nothing you guys say is going to change my opinion about him!" Izzy shouts in Kyle's face, but then turns to face me also. Kyle and I start to open our mouths in response to Izzy's speech, but she holds a hand up, indicating for us to keep quiet. "Ray can do what he pleases, I can't control him. But if he tries to hurt Manny..." She pauses and takes a deep breath, " then I'm leaving. I'll give up being a hunter if I have to. And I'll live with Manny. His pack will accept me, they have to. But if I ever see any of you on their lands, trying to hurt anyone... I won't hesitate to kill you'" and with those final words, Isabelle stormed out of the room and out of the house.

Looking out of the bedroom window, I see her run into the woods across the street. With my bow in one hand, arrows in the bag on her back, I large duffel bag in the other hand.

That was the moment I knew that nothing was going to be like it used to. We, my family, are in so much trouble.
