108 Hunters

The total look of disgust that crossed on his stoic face could not be missed when he finished his appraisal of me.

I knew that the male coming towards me wasn't a werewolf, but he was not quite human either.

The fact that he had a metal arm and a glass eye was enough to state his abnormality.

It was a dead giveaway for me.

From my quick assessment of him, I knew he was a Hunter.

At the harrowing notion, dread filled me in torrents.

'There are Hunters!' Quickly sending Eros that message, I gritted my jaw.

When I worked with the government, I met many of their experiments through Ani.

Not only was she in charge of creating a substance to subdue them, but she was also in charge of repairing all the damaged Hunters that come in.

When the Hunters finish a battle, Ani would patch them back up with mechanical body parts and injections to get them going again.

Most, if not all of them, were genetically enhanced by the scientists.

Their human bodies were altered to adapt with the mutated DNA they were injected with until they became beings far more superior than the average human.

They were programmed to kill.

With their enhanced capabilities, they could rival even a supernatural themselves.

And, because of their mutations, they lost a lot of their humanity.

Except for baseless anger and rage, most did not feel the same emotions as a normal human being did.

Scientists believe that if the Hunters had too many emotions, it would become a weakness that could make them capable of overthrowing superior commands.

And so, they found a way to eliminate any possibility of rebellion with toxic injections to adjust all of the Hunters' emotions into perpetual rage.

I just couldn't believe that Brandy would work with Hunters in order to to get rid of me.

How could she bring Hunters into her own pack?

How could she endanger them just to eradicate me?

Did she not care about her people? Her family?

By the looks of it, Brandy was another Lillith in the making.

A chill suddenly runs through me and I can't control the shudders that wrack my form as I waited for their next move.

Eros is coming soon, I tried to reassure myself.

I just have to drag their legs for a little longer.

With that pep-talk, I quickly try to compose myself, hiding my fear behind an emotionless face.

Even if I were to try to run, I wouldn't get very far before they catch me.

And I doubt that I would be completely intact by then.

I'm pregnant.

How fast can I even run?

"I can taste the werewolf inside of your belly, little traitor. Who is your mate?" the leader sneered out with a narrowing of his one eye. "The aura of that mutt inside you has to belong to an Alpha."

Both of my hands quickly went down to my tummy, trying to hide the bump from his piercing gaze, in fear of what he could do.

'Where are you, Eros?'

I whimpered slightly when the Hunter's bulky form stepped closer.

The hatred was clear on his face, and I happen to be in direct line of his animosity.

'Eros. Eros! There are Hunters!' I was literally screaming into the mind link now, losing my cool at the terror that clambered up my body.

Although I tried to stay unperturbed, my breath came out in short choppy gasps, betraying my unusually calm face.

This has got to be a nightmare.

Someone wake me up.

Before long, another Hunter with his long hair tied back into a ponytail stepped towards me.

My hands clenched into fists and I refrained from taking a step back.

In the front were Hunters, in the back was also Hunters.

Every direction I turn is a dead end.

With a disparaging smile on his lips, the Hunter chuckled creepily and said, "Trying to contact your Alpha, bitch? Tough luck with that. The bastard won't be alive long enough to come to your rescue."

"I thought you said you wouldn't harm him!" Brandy snarled out, bellowing the words loudly before I could even respond to the Hunter's words.
