Chapter 121
Connor POV
Finally. A decent hunt. When word got out, pretty much all the hunters wanted to go, as we hadn’t had the thrill of the chase in a month. This is purely due to this stupid competition, which was basically decided from the start. Still, no one could have predicted the attacks on this territory.
We start online with tracking credit cards, CCTV footage, and getting info from other hunters our target might have run into. It takes less than an hour to find him at a five–star resort. How predictable. I load up my weapons and get ready for the chase.
“Good Luck, Daddy“.
“I don’t need Luck, baby girl. You know I’m the best“.
She just rolls her eyes and picks up her sleeping bag. My eight–year–old daughter Stella is staying with another hunter’s wife and her daughter while we go out. She has become my everything after her mother died.
When she was four, I was tracking a nasty rogue that had killed three humans. He found my home, and even though my wife fought bravely, she had died by the time I got to her. My daughter had followed protocol at that age and hid to save herself.
I got sloppy due to my grief and took off after him. I did my best hiding my daughter along the way, but I ended up walking into an ambush with his brother.
Conrad and Liam were tracking the same rogue, and they were able to kill all four brothers. But I was severely injured in the fight. They both noticed Stella peaking out from her hiding spot and holding the tiny silver daggers I had given her.
They shifted back, and Liam convinced Stella they were ‘nice‘ and Conrad had carried me to the hospital. They looked after her until I regained consciousness, which is when Conrad told me who he was and that he wanted a hunter alliance for wolves who pose no risk.
I was the first to sign it, and I eventually convinced a few others. Life has been amazing since then as Conrad provided all of us with housing, food, and support. In the human world, many have to hold jobs with our birth–given responsibility, meaning many of us struggled in poverty. However, Conrad treats us like a highly skilled special ops team and gives us the respect that comes with it.
I get in the van with three other hunters. Means two in the front and two to guard the prisoner in the back. We had a heading.
It’s not long before we see the glistening lights of the hotel glow in the distance, and we know we have arrived.
Another hunter and I are dressed in suits, so we park across the street and go over the plan. We can see from the latest credit card transaction that he is at the bar, living it up. VIP area and lots of alcohol. This could get messy quickly if not contained. We plan to go in and get the lay of the land before injecting him with a half–dose of the tranquilliser Conrad gave Cordelia. It should make him look drunk so we can carry him out.
The other hunter goes straight to the bar to suss out the crowd. Who is a threat, and if there are any other wolves? We don’t entirely know how, but one of our gifts as hunters is just knowing who is who.
I head over to the VIP section, and it is pumping. Women in barely there clothes, music going, drinks flowing, and more importantly, curtains closed.

Chapter 121
I use my ability and can sense a wolf in the third section. I radio through the earpiece that I have found and work out a plan. I know it is not going to be a fight, as this wolf is not a fighter. A sleazy coward, yes. Might try his luck, possibly. Actually causes damage. No.
I work my way to the side, concealing myself from the guards of this section. Once inside, they won’t question that I
belong.
I look through the curtain of his section and see he is having the time of his life. One girl is on her knees sucking him off, another kissing him while a third is being felt up by his free hand while she kisses his neck. Un–fucking–believable. He still thinks he’s untouchable after he was kicked out.
I step through the curtain, and they don’t even notice me. I decided to wrap this up quickly for him, as Liam told me what he did. Blue balls just adds to his punishment.
I see a very clear shot on his thigh and decide to shoot the tranq.
“WHAT THE FUCK?“.
He looks up and sees me staring at him, and all three girls quickly try to cover themselves. He just freezes.
“Just curious, William. Are they doing this because of your personality or are you paying them?“.
…..
One of the girls looks me square in the eye as she now knows I’m not here for her. “He’s paying us“.
“Did you get payment up front?“.
“We always do“.
“Then feel free to take the rest of the night off. Don’t worry. He won’t be coming back for you to finish what you started“.
The girls run out and leave me alone with William. He starts growling as soon as they leave.
“I’m an Alpha. I’m stronger than you, hunter. I could easily kill you“.
I just open up my arms and stare him down. “Then take your shot as you will only get one“.
He lunges at me and I easily duck to avoid the hit, then punch him in his face while kneeing his balls. It goes down like a
rock.
He stands up to try again, but he is now wobbly and confused.
“What did you do to me? Why?“.
“It’s just a tranquillizer. Beta Lewis wants you in the prisons so council women Valerie and Alpha King Conrad can ask you questions about embezzlement and a building collapsing“.
His eyes go wide, and I start to carry him out. The other hunter meets me at the VIP entrance. William starts trying to object, but is slurring his words too much.
“No. I don’t want to go. Someone stop them“.
I just laugh and play the part. “I know the Mrs is going to be a bit upset at you for drinking that much whiskey, but you

can sleep it off on my couch, buddy“.
I roll my eyes at security, who find it entertaining as well.
“I want to stay here. I’m not going with you“.
The security calls after him. “I think you have had enough fun tonight. Go home with your buddy“.
