"So these are the humans that set you free? I doubt Avery would like this." His voice sounded humorous like he was just playing with them. I was certain he wasn't because things were starting to get darker and darker, and I saw spots.

"So what if they are?" Donovan asked, bending over and examining the girl he defeated. "It's not like they are special. All they did was cut the chains." Axel's grip on Allen loosened. "So you won't mind if I just run off with this then?"

"Nope. Never liked him in the first place."

That bastard! How could he just betray me like this, when we freed them?

"Donnie, he saved us," Marissa interjected. "You can't turn a blind eye to that." Jamie also took a step forward. "I agree. If not for them we'd still be sleeping, being tortured in our own minds, with no way to escape."

See? At least they were sticking up for me. Donnie the Douche was ready to leave me for dead. But what did Jamie mean by being tortured in our own minds? That doesn't make sense. We saw their wounds and their blood. Plus, there were actual weapons in the bunker.

"You clearly can't beat our asses but you don't want to go home looking like a failure. I'll tell you what, give us that thing back and Marissa won't eat your little sisters over here." That pissed off Axel, I could tell. He was breathing faster and I was so close I could feel his heart pounding. Although, I thought Vampire hearts didn't beat?

"You are so arrogant," said Axel through gritted teeth. I will rip this human's arms off and still keep him alive to see Avery. That's when the real torture...." I didn't hear the rest of what he said, because, at that moment, I completely passed out.

Danielle

"-when the real torture begins." Why am I so useless? Allen was in Axel's grasp, and I was hiding behind Jamie. I know there was nothing I could do to stop him, but I wish I could have done something. "You have to do something!" I shrieked at Donovan, knowing he would listen to me. "Fine, I'll take him out easy." He started stretching his arms, and smiled, revealing wolfish teeth instead of the human ones I saw when I removed the metal rod.

White smoke started to seep from his right hand again and he burst into a run, moving so quickly the dirt flew into the air from his original position. Next, the weirdest thing happened. I heard a voice in my head that sounded exactly like Donovan. It said, "Two birds, one stone" and I immediately knew what was going to happen. Axel was using Allen as a guard because he clearly didn't know how little Donovan cares about Allen.

Marissa made her move before my little voice could even begin to shout. She ran fast and jumped over Donovan, transforming into her wolf form. Her hind legs kicked Donovan in the head, making him fall back and propelling her forward.

Allen was only 5 foot 6, so aiming for the seven-foot tall vampire's head was easy. She tackled him to the ground and he continued to scream while she mauled his face. I took this as my chance to do something. I ran past the big brown wolf Donovan and dragged Allen away from Axel. The Wolf Donovan let out an angry howl and bared his fangs visually viciously.

Before Marissa could decapitate him, Axel dissipated into a cloud of smoke and reformed into a colony of bats. They flew towards the girl that Donovan defeated. Axel's human form took shape again. He cradled her in his arms, bit her ear, and said "Jessica." In a puff of smoke, she became a single, little bat in the palm of Axel's hand.

His body distorted, and suddenly he was near the girl Marissa defeated. I could still hear Donovan shouting behind me, but I wasn't sure why, because Axel wasn't targeting us anymore. The blonde girl was still buried in the dirt upside-down, but that didn't stop Axel. He put the bat in his left hand and pressed his right palm on the ground.

In seconds, the ground began to shoot upward until the blonde was resting horizontally on top of it. He repeated the ritual he did with the black haired one, only this time, he said "Teresa." With both of the tiny bats in hand, he turned to look at us.

"Avery will know about this, and she won't just be hunting you." You've damned those children, and now they'll pay the price for your crimes." With that, he turned into another colony of bats, but this time, it looked like 4 of them was devoted to holding the two unconscious bats.

Axel was gone, but there was still a problem. Donovan, the big brown wolf, was snarling and snapping at Marissa, the slightly smaller, black wolf. What was wrong with him? He leaped up and started to attack Marissa. I had Allen in my arms, but I doubted Donovan would listen to reason. Jamie was in his human form, and he ran towards the gigantic dogs.

"Break it up!" He shouted, jumping on to Donovan's back and holding his neck. I didn't think he could do much to stop that big ass wolf, but he lifted Donovan off his feet, by his neck, and flung him backward away from Marissa.

"Try to kill him again, and I'll kill you!" Marissa screamed, back in human form, with Allen's shirt now in tatters. So I was right. Donovan was going to punch straight through Allen's chest just to kill Axel. I just didn't know why she cared so much.

"I'm sick of you, fawning over that weak piece of s-"

"Donovan, shut up," Jamie demanded. "Um..." Jamie was looking at me. I guessed he was trying to figure out my name. "Danielle," I told him.

"Oh, right. Thank you. Danielle, where is Allen's apartment? Do you both live together?"

I don't know why, but I blushed. "No," I replied quickly. "But I know where it is. Let's go." Jamie has a quick glance at Marissa, then glared at Donovan. Now I wasn't sure who was Alpha, Jamie or Donovan.

Allen

As soon as I woke up, my life was complete.

I opened my eyes, and I was back at my apartment. Marissa, the werewolf girl, was laying on top of me. She had on my Ole Miss sweatshirt and was breathing softly. I don't know how she noticed I was awake because I hadn't made a sound.

Nevertheless, the moment I opened my eyes she raised her head and looked at me. "It's about damn time." She said, smiling. You've been out for three hours. "What time is it?" I asked, hoping this wasn't a dream.

It's 10:17 pm," she replied, sitting up. "I thought we weren't going to get to talk before I joined the Hunt." I looked around my room, but Danielle, Donovan, and Jamie were nowhere to be found. "Wait! Where the hell is everybody else! I had a roommate too! What did Jacob say when you all came in?"

"Shh..." Marissa leaned in closer and whispered into my ear. "Danielle went home, and three guys are outside waiting for me. There was nobody here when we came." That didn't make sense, because Steven would normally be playing games right now, eating food and streaming online.

I wanted to say more, but at that moment, she pressed her lips against mine. My brain turned to mush. Her jet black hair smelled like my shampoo, so she clearly had taken a shower before I woke up.

Marissa was slightly taller than me, and because of her features, I couldn't determine her ethnicity. Was she Italian? Canadian? French? It doesn't matter. Her body was curvy and amazing. She took off my hoodie and her body felt amazing against my skin.

She had obviously borrowed some of Danielle's underwear. Don't ask me why I know what Danielle's underwear looks like. Marissa was big breasted, but that didn't necessarily turn me on because I had been seeing those almost all day. What turned me on was the way that she looked at me, and the way she breathed against my skin.

I remembered that she said something about the Hunt, and about Jamie and Donovan waiting. I knew Donovan probably be pissed, but I was enjoying this so much. I looked through my window, and outside, the moon was large and a beautiful yellow. Between that, and Marissa, I felt like I could stay in this bed forever.

"Marissa... What about the hu-" She stopped me with another kiss. "Don't worry about that," she said, and as I looked into her eyes it seemed as if they were changing into the colorful, bright eyes of her wolf form. "I still have time."

Marissa

10:57 pm I looked at the watch I took off of Allen's wrist. "I should probably go hunt before it starts to hurt," I thought to myself. If we haven't shapeshifted before midnight, it's like we lose the power to choose. My hands were already starting to form claws. My eyesight was changing.

One thing I always hated is that we forget some of the things from the night of our change. I didn't want to forget the moment I just shared with Allen. Especially because I imprinted on him.

Imprinted. After I saw him, I was mesmerized. I had been crying, praying for an answer, and finally, he came to our rescue. I felt like Princess Peach getting rescued by Mario. That was the first time I ever imprinted on someone. I didn't know it would make him like me too, but I'm glad it did.

Every second after I was free, I was thinking about him. And if Donovan, that stupid maniac, tried to kill him again, I'd rip his heart out. I looked at Allen's sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and happy like he was having the best dream in the world.

I hope he was dreaming about me. My mouth started to hurt. I could feel my wolf teeth growing. Normally, the transition was painless. The only times it hurts is the first time, and whenever we resist the moon's power.

I heard the newer generation of werewolves didn't have to deal with things like that. Lucky them. We were basically in one of the newer generations ourselves, but the werewolves we came from, the ones that Turned us... They were the greatest, oldest, and most potent in power. That's why everyone has a hit on us, that's why we were trapped and tortured.

They couldn't find a way to kill us. Silver was barely a kryptonite. Our bodies could endure that pain, but they found out that our minds couldn't. They had trapped us before. That was the easy part. The hard part was containing us.

But after they found a wizard to put a hex on our minds, we were defenseless. As soon as we were freed, Donovan, Jamie and I had all mentally agreed to find a wizard, and asking them everything they know about the spell. Not just out of curiosity, we wanted to know how the presence of two humans could break that spell.

But first, I needed to hunt before I lost control. I told Don and Jamie that I wanted to sleep to see if the curse would still haunt us. They obviously wouldn't want to feel that again, so I was completely in the clear to have some fun with Allen.

I wanted to make sure I remembered this. I leaned over to kiss Allen's forehead before I left. I'm not even sure why I did it, but I used my long fingernail to carve a tiny heart into his shoulder.

Like a tattoo.

Or a brand.

Because he's mine.

I got up and walked outside. Donovan and Jamie were already in their wolf forms, waiting for me.
