Alphas and Hunters: ♠ Chapter 2 ♠

A/N at the top of this chapter coz... well it's been 6 years, whoops.

Sooooo, it's been a bit of a while since I last wrote a new chapter, as you can see. I'm gonna start with the first thing, which is I'm reaaaaally sorry for my absence and just leaving my entire account hanging. I started/last uploaded this story in 2014, when I was 16. I'm 23 now, so obviously many things have happened and changed in the last 7 years that have made my opinions and ideas of 'a good book' very, very different than what it once was. That is why I didn't feel like I could continue this book (along with the others on my account) for such a long time.

Regardless, over the years I've been coming back to my Wattpad stories off and on, and always felt this urge to continue writing, but could never find the time, with college, then uni, and then working life beginning. Now that I've recently found some time on my hands again, to my surprise, I find that A&H has potential and it's actually not too cringey hahaha, compared to my other books! So much nostalgia, and I remember I had really high hopes for this story. I'm going to do my best to continue it when I have time, and perhaps even edit my other stories to fit my age and continue writing those. Frankly, my mindset at 16 was pretty toxic, I cared too much about views and votes rather than creating for my own happiness, so as I continue writing , I'm going to make sure that that is no longer the case.

But, just a heads up - my writing style has also changed throughout the years. As I repeated before, I'm no longer 16, so the target audience for my books is probably going to be far more mature and might be inappropriate for younger audiences. I'll also be changing little details like the characters' ages to fit more with my target demographic. I'll be editing small details in the previous chapters too.

When rereading, I quite like the format of long chapters that I had going on, so I'll do my best to replicate that. The entire story itself won't be too long, I've planned it out to be either 10 chapters max, since I've personally always preferred short stories that are detailed and impactful rather than long ones that go on and on.

In terms of the app and community, I don't even know if the entire werewolf hype is still a thing hahah, but I do personally still love the idea of packs and supernatural creatures roaming the same plane as humans, hence why I feel like continuing this regardless of what's trending at the moment.

To anyone that's been here since 2014, I really do appreciate and admire your patience throughout the years, so thank you <3

And without further ado...

Alphas and Hunters: ♠ Chapter 2 ♠

♀ Aryl's POV ♀

I stumbled out of the pub from the front exit, Anthony and Quill supporting my weight. All the energy had suddenly been sucked out of my body. It was as though someone had paralyzed the muscles in my legs, and I could no longer move on my own.

Every fibre of my body was at war with each other. My hunter's body felt relief at being able to escape the horrid stench of wolves. But somewhere deep down, this foreign other part of me, a part that I had never felt before, felt this immense... sadness.

I wanted to turn back, push past the sweaty mess of grinding bodies until I found him, to grab his face and look into his deep set hazel eyes, and absorb the pain that I saw etched into it until they were gone.

When we were finally far enough from the pub, back where our car was parked, my knees finally gave in and I crumbled hard onto the pavement. Tony and Quill were instantly by my side, making sure I was okay.
