Page 9 of The Hunt: Emerald

I knew it… Omegas in heat don’t get far. Not when they exude pheromones like perfume.

I watch them on guard as they bare their medium-sized, sharp fangs, growling and circling me as if to taunt me.

Delirious, I fight my heat off with sheer willpower. Even in this fevered state, I have only one instinct left:survive.

Chapter 2

I Must Fight

EMERALD

Ihave to get the fuck away! I have to run! But I know I can’t. In this moment, fleeing is impossible…I can only fight.

“You smell like you want to be fucked,”one Alpha says, licking its lips. “Let us ease your pain.”

“Yes, little Omega… drop to your knees and part those pretty lips to beg to take our cocks into your mouth, and wemightlet you live… after we fuck you enough.”

I can tell from the smug looks on their faces they want me to cower… they want to me beg and fucking plead for my life, but they got me fucked up. There will be no begging, and I for fucking sure will not be using any of the shit that fucked up camp taught us ever in fucking life.

Instead, with what little strength and sanity I have left, I lift my head in defiance, staring at them with repugnance, which pisses them off and makes me smirk.

“You bitch! No, you whore! You dare look at us with defiance?!”one of the other two snarls, and I chuckle.

“Well, you’re barking so cutely like dogs, I couldn’t help it,” I taunt, feeling a tad bit of coolness flow through my veins. My vision clears, and the heat in me turns to rage.

“Oooo, this one’s a fighter! Do you think she’s like that black bitch in zone four?!”one snaps, and I feel something in me crack.I don’t deserve this… none of us did… we have to hear this bullshit and contend with this fucked up world that only caters to Alphas for fucking what? Just because we are Omegas?

I hate fucking Alpha’s!!! I fucking abhor them all.

“Oh ho! You dirty whore. Try saying that while you’re withering in pain with my dick shoved inside you.”

“Iamthe pain,” I whisper and conjure up magic to snatch the small twig near me off the bush and sharpen it. I lunge at the first Alpha just as it leaps at me. Skillfully, I’m able to dodge its fangs, jamming the broken edge of the twig hardened and sharpened by my magic into its neck.

Its roar shakes me, but it doesn’t move me much. It knocks me back, slamming me against a tree trunk, but I react and soften the bark, bouncing back up, when the Alpha catches me by the throat.

I kick at it, but it only laughs as it holds me up high for the other Alphas to see.

“See?! See how easy this was?! I won! I wo—”I’ve lived on my own for a good while, so it’s nothing to beat a mother fucker ass, so I kick my feet up and wrap my legs around its face, disgusted when my pussy nearly touches its gasping lips.But I can’t focus on that.

I suffocate it with my legs and snatch out the twig that was lodged in its throat with a sickening snap. Swiftly, I plunge the twig through the top of his skull, causing blood to geyser from his cranium as it staggers forward. It drops to its knees, and I fall to the ground, clutching my neck, watching it bleed out.

But I don’t have time to rest… because the second Alpha comes up from behind, trying to snatch me up in another chokehold. However, rather than trying to subdue me like the first one, this one is clearly going for the kill.

That’s a big fucking mistake, because I’ll never fucking fail.

I let my body go limp, baiting him, letting it think it can get me, but when it adjusts to get a better grip on me, I pull my leg back as far as I can, then swing it with the swiftness of the wind onto its nuts. When that ain’t enough to get the son of a bitch to fall, I spin and sink my teeth deep into its neck until my mouth is full of iron and its pulse throbs against my tongue.

“AHHHHHHHH!”it howls and bashes me against the tree. Because my heat is boiling higher in me, my power flickers in and out, and I’m unable to soften the bark of the tree, causing it to bite into my skin. However, I refuse… I fucking refuse to let it go. I bite harder and grasp its Adam’s apple, my nails keeping the air from getting to its lungs.

Clearly it’s ineffective based on how long it fights me, but slowly, the fight leaves him until it collapses on the ground, twitching, dying near its friend. I turn my bloodied, bruised, and battered body to the third, who is clearly the smartest, baring teeth at its comrades’ deaths.

It backs away, but I lower myself and snatch the twig from the cranium of enemy number one, eyes glowing, ready for whatever it’s about to throw at me. The Alpha’s tail goes between its legs and its eyes go wide with fear.

“Y-y-you’re n-not an Omega,”it whispers.“Wh-wh-what the hellareyou?! Wh-what th-the hell?!!”

I ignore its question and take a step forward, ready to kill the next enemy standing in my way, but before I can, it turns tail and runs. I follow the fucking coward and make quick work of it, standing over its lifeless body, breaths coming in sharp pants, and I smile. Because to them, I’m no longer a prey. I’m their predator, and I’ll be the one huntingthem!

My hands are slick with my enemy’s blood and it feels good. I go to walk off, but I stop, and think about the book I read when I was doing research on the hunt.
