"Mine" "As if..."

Chapter 1: Capture

I walked through the forest, orange, red and yellow leaves scatter all over the ground as nature told us that autumn was here. The wind whisked from behind me forcing my hair to assault my face. I had my gear in my backpack, but I was low on silver bullets.

I heard the sound of crunching leaves but it wasn't my feet. I slowly turned around to see a woman about 21; she had dark brown eyes and wavy brown hair. She wasn't human, I could tell by the gold ring around her eyes. She was one of them. A werewolf. She emitted power but not a lot, maybe a beta's mate or daughter.

"What are you doing here hunter?" She said through her teeth

"Thought I'd stop by, kill a few mutts" I replied

"Well, that's not happening, so get out of my territory now before I decide to kill you" She growled

"As if, do you know who I am" I put my hand on my hip "I am Annika-Mae Turnstone" I smirked as her eyes widened

"You're the one who killed half our pack" She ran towards me and shifted

She knocked me over forcing me to roll over backwards I got up, she pounced on top of me, her jaws inches away from my neck , I grabbed the silver knife in my shoe and pushed it into her abdomen and pulled it up through her underbelly as her blood covered my hand. She rolled over in pain. The smell of burning flesh filled the air. I drew a silver arrow out of my bag. I carved out a capital A with a slash through on her skin, just so when the others find her they'll know exactly who won this fight.

"I guess this is a life lesson for you, well your last" I dragged the arrow head along her side, she howled in pain as the silver burnt into her. "Your fur is a lovely colour; too bad you and your kind are all demons." I crouched beside her head her eyes begging for mercy "Oh you think I have a heart and I'll let you go. Sorry to disappoint say night night" I smirked stabbing her in her neck. I watched as the life left her eyes.

I heard a bloodcurdling growl behind me. I saw a rustic brown coloured wolf, with black eyes, her mate. A beta. I grabbed my bag and ran as fast as I could. I knew I couldn't out run a beta but I had to try. I saw a tree ahead with a low branch; I ran as fast as I could and pulled myself up onto it. I kept climbing up. I looked down and saw the wolf clawing at the bottom of the tree. I killed his mate there is no way he is going to give up until I was dead. I got out my gun and shot down at him. I got his back he flopped to the ground in pain. It wouldn't kill him but it will give me time to run home.

I opened the door to my 'home', it was a small place just a field away from the forest that seemed to rest in the middle of nowhere . I walked to the kitchen to find my brother Lukas and his friend Mason. Mason is also a hunter, a werewolf killed his entire family when he was 12 but he managed to escape. He met my brother and I about 6 years ago, and we stuck together. As for my brother and I our parents were killed by them before I could even speak so that left a 13 year old boy to raise his little sister.

"Hey" Lukas said his eyes remained on his phone

"Hey" Mason said finishes of a bag of popcorn "Annie what happened to you?" Mason said once he looked at me

"Oh, I just took down a beta's mate. Why?" I was confused at his reaction

"She got a good punch on you"

I put my hand to my face and saw the red liquid. Damn she cut me. I never noticed, I just shrugged it off. Mason grabbed my hand and took me up stairs. He started to clean the wound.

"Mason, I can do it myself" I huffed

"Yes, you can but you won't, remember what happened last time you left it and it got infected."
