Chapter Six

***** Kalypso's POV *****

Kyle tapped me and i was pulled back to reality.

Where are you going kalypso? No one is allowed in there except the waiters i heard kyle voice say and i turned to answer him.

Oh i wasn't aware of that, i heard the bell and i thought i was supposed to attend to them i said

That won't be necessary, i will handle them, but make sure you do not leave your assigned duty, do you get me? He said with a serious voice like he was passing a warning. i nodded my head and he smiled then walked back into the kitchen.

I went to the receptionist's desk and sat down, then my mind went back to the pair of ruby eyes i saw earlier and i looked back at the table but i couldn't find them again anymore.

it was just the family that came earlier that i could see, and none of them had ruby eyes.

Did he leave? or was that just my imagination?

Beside Ruby eyes? that was a strange eye colour, i have seen a lot of eye colour but not ruby, maybe red but i could tell that they were contacts. And i didn't get to look at his face because i was just drawn to his eyes.

there were like magnet, locking me in so i couldn't look away, I didn't even want to look away, his eyes were so beautiful yet so dark and sad. i wondered why

******Zayn's POV ******

I couldn't take my eyes of hers, it took me everything to stop myself from walking up to her right there and my demon wasn't helping the matter at all, i felt him breaking free of the spell and it was hard to control him.

I was about to loose control and walk up to her when i felt Caelan's hand on my shoulder and i was pulled back to reality.

Hunters are here i heard him say and that was when i smelt them too. it was faint but it was there. One thing about hunters was that they were good at masking their presence and scent and only those with a strong sense of smell could fish them out. The reason i wasn't able to sense them earlier, was because i was too busy controlling my demon and my mate's scent was all over the place.

Hunters are very much like humans, they age, fall ill and die just like regular humans. What makes them a bit different was their Knowledge of the Supernatural world, They are great at tracking and hunting down any supernatural creature, they are also good at fighting, they had no powers but yet, they managed to kill millions of our kind over the years. How their association was created was still unknown to us, what we did to provoke them was also a mystery to us.

We tried forming a peace treaty between them but they refused and declared war with us, and since then they killed our kind, we killed thiers.

When i was little, i hated thier reasons for killing thier kind because of we were stronger than them, the fight wasn't fair until i the death of my father, and the only evidence that was left behind was the scent of hunters. Since then,i loathed them and i swore to hunt down all of them and end them bringing an end to their existence and when some of them learnt about this, they went into hiding, masking thier scent and living as humans making it difficult to hunt them.

I stood up to leave before i loose control of myself and Caelan followed suit, Salvador Also stood up in confusion but Caelan assured him that everything was fine and promised to send him a message later. I looked at the direction of my mate one more time before leaving so i could capture the picture of her face in my head so that finding her won't be difficult. When i turned, what i saw made me growl. My mate wasn't staring at me anymore, she was staring a guy who had the scent of a hunter all over him.

I took a step forward to approach them but Caelan held me back.

He won't hurt her, we will come back for her later, no use causing a scene he whispered and released my hand i hesitated a little before i finally walked out.

I entered the car and Caelan drove off. He wanted to take me home but i told him to take me to the office. when we got there, i noticed that it was deserted, i didn't see anyone.

Did Caelan send everybody home for their safety?

Well, whoever did it is smart because right now i am very dangerous to be around. My demon was finally free and i could feel all his anger for being numbed for such a long time.

I felt my Claws forcefully find their way out of my fingers, it was like it was growing out the flesh of my finger, the pain was so much that i felt like pulling them out but i knew that it would only cause me more pain because it will only grow back.

i walked faster to get to my office, my demon was slowly taking control and i don't know what it is capable of doing and my office was the only place i could trap him for now.

I felt him twist inside me, it felt like he was ripping out my organs and the pain made me fall on my knee. i held the ground for support so i won't collapse, i Shouldn't loose control yet, not when he is still free.

I heard Caelan's footstep rushing to me but i stopped him and told him to leave before i loose myself. He hesitated for a while before leaving. I trembled as i tried to stand up and i couldn't, i balled my fingers stabbing my self with my claws before pushing myself to stand up, When i did, i staggered to my office and when i finally got there, i collapsed on the floor.

While on the floor, i felt my fangs forcefully make themselves out of my mouth but the pain was bearable, i thought it was all over until i felt something growing out of my head. The pain was so great that i felt like ripping of my head from my neck, after a while, i felt myself succumbing to the darkness and i gladly welcomed it.
