Much love, Red ❤️

This. Can't. Be. Happening!

My dad showed me his hunters mark on his side and I showed him where I'd had the pain and scratch and he's confined that it was in fact my mark starting to form.

Dad handed me an old looking leather book and I read the open page.

'Supernatural Hunters and Huntresses, also known as Hunters for short, are humans who are endowed with supernatural abilities to hunt and kill Werewolves and other creatures through magical means. They are considered a supernatural species despite being humans and reside on the Other Side when they die.'

'The Huntress, daughter of one Hunter. will only change Upon her father's death.'

"This can't be real?" I said looking up from the page at my dad. "Tell me this isn't real."

"I'm sorry you have to find out this way but it was for the best."

I come from a bloodline of hunters, werewolf hunters. I'm mated to a werewolf!

"I- I need some fresh air." I said getting up from the chair where I'd been sat and grabbed my bow.

"Eleri please." Mum cried.

"Let her go love" I heard dad say as I walked out of the house.

I marched angrily into the woods not really having any where to go.

How could this be happening of all things and now. Right when I was finally going to commit to being Mikah's mate. I thought before Mikah I was a normally girl but I was never going to be normal was i?

Them constantly being out for work the sneaking around and when did got sick I remembered seeing scratch marks on him. It all made so much sense now but I still couldn't believe any of it. Did they know about Mikah? Did they sense it, can they smell werewolves?

How do I tell Mikah? Do I tell Mikah? All these questions swimming around in my head that I just had no answers for. I was so angry, they kept this from me for nearly 19 years and drop it on my like I'm meant to be okay with everything.

I grabbed an arrow from on my back and readied my bow firing the arrow into the tree ahead of me and again into another. Is that why they got my into fighting and archery? Is that why it came so naturally to me as soon as I was handed a bow.

I shot another arrow, and another and another.

"Woah." I heard a voice say. "Watch where your shooting those things" Sage said as she came out from behind a tree.

"Oh sorry I didn't see you there."

"Is everything okay?" She said pulling one of my arrows out of the tree and examining the arrow head.

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Your fine? Really? Because the way your treating the trees is telling me your not."

"Hah, Family problems that's all."

"Well don't take it out on the poor trees she said rubbing it and I was almost sure I saw the arrow mark heal. I blinked a couples times thinking I'd probably just seen things.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Sage said handing me back the arrows from the trees.

"It's nothing you'd understand."

"Try me." Sage said to me with a cocky look.

"Really it's noth-,"

"Your a Hunter." Sage said cutting me off.

I stared at her. "What?!"

"I could sense it the moment I met you. It's a bit unfortunate though as your boyfriends a werewolf." She said shrugging.

How the holy hell.

"I'm not sure what your talking about" I said trying to act dumb.

"Don't try a play dumb with me." Sage said as if to read my mind. "I'm a Fae."

"Your a what?!"

"A Fae." She said flipping her hair over her shoulder and showed me a scar-like symbol just below her shoulder on her chest. Like Mikah and my dad have but they were all different symbols.

"I didn't know Fae existed, does everyone from the supernatural world have a mark?"

"Pretty much but they are easy to keep hidden and Fae have existed for centuries."

"You know being a hunter is nothing to be scared about." She said putting her hand on my shoulder. "Most supernatural beings are pretty good at staying hidden or blending in but I'm not sure what your going to do about your boyfriend situation."

"He's my mate."

"Ooo, good luck with that! How is that even possible?"

"I don't know, but it's true."

"I get the feeling your going to be different though, your not going to be your normal Hunter."

"What makes you say that?"

"Oh it's nothing really. Lots of Fae when they see people can have flashes of what future is going to be like."

"And mine?"

"Well couldnt tell you that now could it? Just trust that your going to accept Mikah as your mate. But remember what I see can be changed at any point if your path changes."

"What's do you mean?"

"Well nothing is certain and I might see a vision of your future on the path that your on now but things might change. if you were to take a different road home rather then your usual that can change it. Your future isn't set in stone."

I couldn't wrap my head around everything happening around me. Hunters, werewolves and Fae. Geez are Vamps real too?

Sage and I said our goodbyes and I made my way back home.

My futures isn't certain and I could change it by the smallest acts. She said that I was going to accept Mikah as my mate but that I was going to very different when it came to to being a hunter. I wonder what that meant?

I could change my fate but I knew for sure that I had hunters blood flowing through my body and I couldn't Change that but I could change what I do with it.

I had to, My mate is a werewolf and I know more then anything he's who I meant to be with. But I was I going to tell him? Would he still want to be with me? Would he reject me? Would I try to hurt him?

I wanted to scream. Some many questions but there's never any answers. All I know for sure that my dad is dying. The thought made my heat sink. I couldn't imagine living my life without him. He won't see me walk down the isle of meet his first grandchild. I have to make him proud!

I stood at the door of my house and shook myself and swallowed hard. Tomorrow is my birthday so for now I'm going to forget everything about today and enjoy tomorrow and that means not telling Mikah about who I really am. A huntress.
