Hunting the Lycan King

Elena Petrov is a Rogue Hunter, tasked with hunting down the most vicious of the furry beasts and putting a bullet through their brain…or heart, whichever she could reach first. But when she finds herself in the grasps of the Vampire King, who gives her the offer to either serve him the Lycan King’s head in a silver platter or watch her sister be mercilessly drained of blood in front of her…she has no choice but to set out on the most difficult task of her life…hunting down the Lycan King, Vincent Blackburn. However, their first encounter doesn’t go as she had planned and she ends up in the dungeons, chained and ready to be executed by the Lycan King himself. However, as their eyes meet and a searing contact is forged in the unexpected circumstances, she hears him say the only words she never expected to hear from a Lycan: Mate.

Chapter 29: A Tough Competition

Elena's P.O.V

 

"I must confess, you're a really skilled archer for a human," Rowana said with a small smile on her face. "But don't make the mistake of underestimating me yet, hunter. My boastfulness comes from confidence and years of practice."

 

As I stood there, catching my breath, a sense of relief washed over me. Rowana's admission, telling me that I was right not to underestimate her, brought a mixture of satisfaction and surprise. Her acknowledgment felt validating, a reassurance that perhaps she understood my capabilities better than I thought.

 

Yet, as I thought over her words, a silent echo in my mind questioned her implication. Hadn't I been hitting the mark from the very start? She'd proven her skill repeatedly. I couldn't fathom how that aligned with underestimating her but before I could dwell on this puzzling thought, the situation took an unexpected turn.
