BLACK OUT

SABLE'S POV They should have let me enjoy my day in the park. No Ysoria to nag around, no Alpha Bryn to keep a moulded face and give crazy orders. Just me in the garden, tending to my flowers and enjoying the beautiful sight. Not this, roaming around for a course I didn't sign up for, a Hunter without a gun. She shouldn't have brought me along if no provisions were made for me for every single thing. Not a horse, food and now not a gun. But then again, who was I? All I was expected to do was tag along like a pretty bunny. I didn't even have a hunting book on, nor a hunting attire. Only I stood out in a maxi flare dress, this was actually fucked up.I was enjoying my time until I had to step down from the horse and walk and until Knox and Alpha Bryn had to remind me of how useless i was. No?, no? They didn't even hesitate to say no when i politely asked for a gun, it's just a gun for goodness sake. Not like I'm gonna blow someone's head off instead

ANYTHING FOR SABLE

KNOX'S POV “Sable!” I threw my gun into the ground, rushing towards her the moment I heard the scream of a maid servant. I was totally engrossed in the game, the deer I'd just taken down that I didn't notice Sable fall to the ground. “Sable?” I called out her name, picking her up from the ground and tapping lightly on her cheek. She really had passed out. For a second, I began to panic. Why did I let her come all the way? I had no idea she would hate it this much, I had no idea she would be sick by being in the woods. I placed my palm over her forehead and she was burning hot. “Fuck!” I mumbled out, looking around at the maid servants who had just surrounded us. “Someone should go get my deer before a wild pig gets to it before we do.” I heard Ysoria's voice. I couldn't imagine she was going on about an animal when Sable was in this condition. “And y'all give her some space before she dies of suffocation

AN UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH

ALPHA BRYN'S POV Mother was quick to speak, she was definitely different from me. At least I could at some point see things and look away, but not Ysoria. She didn't let Knox run off before she spoke the words that were buried deep down in my mind. “That's no way to treat the Alpha's woman you know?” Mum mumbled out, although her attention fixed on her gun. I didn't want to think much of it, but she was right. From the beginning of our trip, up until this moment. Something wasn't sitting right with the way Knox and Sable acted. They were close, way too close for just the Beta and Luna's relationship. Or maybe I was over thinking things, I probably was. This would be the first time I would see them together, and their chemistry was way beyond my expectation. Sable had never smiled that way at me. Not that I cared, but I found it quite strange. I'd never seen her laugh out loudly with so much excitement like she did earlier today,

PULLING THE TRIGGER

ALPHA BRYN'S POVMum sprang up on her feet even before I could be done speaking. She held out her gun and I feared she was gonna blow my head off, but she didn't. Instead she ignored me, dusting her pants before walking forward. “I doubt we'll find anything here, maybe we should go further." She mumbled, walking on with her gaze fixed to the road. Of course we would mum, we just got a deer and a hare right here.” I mumbled out. “We didn't get the rabbit, stop being silly.” I leaned forward, pressing my head against my knees as I wondered why I wasn't smart enough to leave earlier just like Knox. Ohh yeah, now it made sense. Knox dreaded our trips to the game reserve even more than I did. He didn't actually grumble about it, but I knew him more than anyone else. The look on his face a day before the trip, during the trip and some hours after told the tales of his hatred for the hunting spree. Even at that, he still remained t

DONT GO

KNOX'S POVThanks to my speed, I got to the horse in a minute. The journey didn't seem as long as it was earlier when we headed into the woods, probably because I did more running than walking. I hurriedly placed Sable on the horse, untying it from the tree before hopping on. I wasn't sure if carrying Sable on a horse was right for her state, but I guess it was better than spending another fifteen minutes trying to maneuver the route on foot. I tried to be careful as we rode back to where the car was parked, but it didn't stop Sable from slipping off my grip from time to time. We got to the car park and again I roped the horse down to a tree hoping that in this part of the city, stealing of livestock wasn't a thing. I dropped Sable into the back seat of the car and slowly pressed my hand on her forehead. She wasn't running temperature like earlier, that got me a bit relieved, but it still didn't change the fact that she was unconscio

HOW CAN I STOP MUM?

ALPHA BRYN'S POV “My leg, my fucking leg!” I screamed out after what felt like an eternity. I'd finally gotten my voice, but for as long as I could remember, I laid flat on the bare floor, eyes widely open as I questioned all of my life choices. I didn't want to believe I'd just gotten shot, and at the same time I couldn't stop wondering why the pain was all over like the bullet had pierced into every fiber of my body. At the same time, I couldn't stop wondering why my eyes were still widely open. If I was shot, I'd presumed I should be dead by now or at least at the verge of it. Eyes drifting away slowly, heartbeat slowly dying off, but no it wasn't so. I heartbeat tripled up, as well as my eyes. It shot wide open, scanning the bare floor as though solutions to my problems laid right on it. I think all of this probably happened in a second considering the next second after pain shot across my legs and I bolted up on my feet, mum sti
