The Final Hunt–1
Unknown’s POV
I paced restlessly around my private apartment, an uncomfortable feeling churning in my gut, setting every nerve on edge. I’d tried reaching that bastard, but there was no
response.
Since burning down Thea Sterling’s house, he’d vanished like he never existed. That worried me more than anything else because I couldn’t predict his next move. Without knowing his plans, I had no contingency if he fucked up like that worthless piece of shit
Vex.
“Goddamn it!” I growled, snatching up my phone to contact my Beta.
“Alpha?” Alaric answered respectfully on the first ring.
“Any sign of him?” I demanded.
I don’t usually show weakness or worry. But this was different. I just had this fucking awful feeling in my gut that something was about to go down.
“No, Alpha. It’s like he’s completely masked his scent,” he replied, earning a vicious curse from me. “None of the wolf scouts can pick up his trail.”
When Vex was identified by the police, I immediately decided to eliminate him. The city’s police force had several Alpha–level trackers who would follow his scent in no time and trace it all the way back to me. So I ripped out his heart myself. I couldn’t risk him
exposing my identity.
My decision proved correct. The police did quickly find his trail, but fortunately, when they arrived, they only found a corpse without a heart.
I understood men like Vex because we were cut from similar cloth. If captured, he would’ve sold me out without hesitation to save his own skin. He had no Pack loyalty to me, just working for money. I couldn’t let everything I’d carefully built fall apart.
It had all been perfect. Vex was dead, the police lost their only lead, and I found a new
assassin–a more dangerous, more ruthless non–wolf hunter.

The Final Hunt–1
“Alpha,” Alaric’s voice pulled me back to reality.
“What?” My thoughts were fucking scattered.
Like I said, this wasn’t my normal state. I’m usually the one in control of every situation. But now, this heavy sense of impending doom hung over me, and I hated it.
Taking a deep breath, I picked up my phone again and called the one female who could calm me down. The one who supported me unconditionally.
miss you.”
