Tess's P.O.V.

Must be a guy thing, I thought. Although I do recover fast he doesn't know that, nor does he know I'm a lycan. I can sense he's not gonna be swayed on this so I just start giving him directions.

We arrive at a packed bar and I hand Zero the phone so he can read the missive as I hop out and pull out my bag from the back as I go through it while he reads. I pull off my blood caked plaid shirt glad that my bleeding is stopped and look over the rips.

I remembered the missive saying this guys a perv who likes young girls that don't cover enough. I reach into my glove box and ignore Zero's gasp as I turn my tank top into a half shirt revealing my stomach.

"What are you doing to your shirt.", he asks as I smile and wink holding a finger to my lips. "To catch a perv you gotto bait a perv.", I say as I fix my hair in the mirror quick.

Sadly I only have one fake id and this place is a 21 and over establishment. " I'm gonna go in and bring him into the alley. ", I say putting my sigh's under the seat before handing him the shotgun "Try not to miss she should have 5 in the chamber.

"You can't go in alone.", he says. "I only have one fake id to get me in, and if he thinks your with me he won't come out. ", I say

"Are you sure he'll come out with you.", he asks. "Yup!", so wait in the alley I'll get him to come out as soon as I can, Trust me.", I say smiling as he nods his head and smirks. "Your crazy you know that." he says.

"Yea but those that get to know me learn to love me for it.", I wink as I jog up to the bar leaving the cute boy behind. I walk in the bar and I look around for my target using my sense of smell to find him. I spot the moron and give a flirty smile before going to the bar flashing my id and ordering a Red's apple ale.

I down it as he heads my way. Before I know it my prey is acting flirty and giving me shots which he doesn't see me spit most of in the bottle which I kept, not that he could tell. I just started to act drunk and flirty. "Hey can you walk me outside I need some fresh air.", I say giggly dang I make my self sick sometime. He nods with a grin.

I put my arm around his shoulder and pretend to be smashed as he helps me out of the bar and into the alley. "Oh thanks, it's so hot in there.", I say ditzy like as I play with the hair by my neck. The creep shoves me against the wall and tries to lick down my throat but I slap him after pushing him off.

"Oh you taste so sweet, just one bite.", he says as his eyes turn red as he holds me to the wall.

"Once a pervert is turned he's a vampire pervert.", I say as I kick him in the family jewels as hard as I can and since I'm a werewolf I most likely broke his pelvis.

He screeched in pain as I round house kicked his head knocking him on the ground. I wonder where Zero is. I keep busy fighting the vampire hand to hand, thank heavens I have my own speed and strength.

He claws as me as I jump back catching the tail end of his claws before I send in a punch hard enough to bust his jaw. I hope Zero's here soon, hand to hand with a vampire takes longer than blowing his head off.

The perv picks me up and throws me across the alley and into some bricks. I roll off the bricks as he tries to jump on me and I give a quick wink as he glares at me. I can rip his face off if I shift but Zero hasn't seen me shift yet, I'm not sure if he's ready for that much information.

Zero's P.O.V.

After an hour I start to sense the vampire in the alley and I enter as the punk throws Tess into the bricks, and she gets up looking annoyed.

"Do that again and I'm gonna rip your face off!", she says angrily at the vampire. Her lip is bleeding and she looks like she acquired a few new scrapes and bruises. The level-e grins at her hungrily.

"Awe just a taste.", he says "I'll take it from that pretty little mouth of yours.", he says mad with bloodlust as he rushes her again as she drops using his strength against him throwing him on the ground holding onto his arm as she twists it till it breaks like a little stick.

He gets up and grabs her again cackling while I ready the shotgun as he shoves her against the wall, I aim it and it fires a slug into the vampire's head causing him to turn to dust dropping the huntress.

"Good timing.", she says with a smile sitting on the ground as I helped her up. How did she recover from earlier today so fast and how did she not get banged up worse, is she a vampire that's learned to use hunter's seals. We walk back to the truck and I open the door and have her scoot over again.

"Usually the association doesn't give the hunts so close together.", I say as I slide the gun under the seat.

"Really.", she says yawning," this is kinda normal for me." she faces me as her brown eyes sparkle a little as she looks at me like she sees me.

The ride back was quiet due to us both being tired and a little hungry, but it was a comfortable silence.

I'd look over at her sometimes to catch her peeking at me at times.

"Zero, can I ask you something.", she asks. "Hn", I say as she watches me.

"Where's Yuki, I'd ask Uncle Kai but when I call and ask for her he gives me this bullspit story about her being on vacation or what not.", she says bluntly "Did she become a vampire again?",

I stop the truck and look at her. "How did you know she was a vampire when Yuki didn't", I ask staring at her.

"First time she came to visit with Uncle they brought Kuran with them, even human Yuki smelled to much like him not to be related.", she says" It's why vampires were drawn to her blood."

"So I was right, she became a vampire and wrote me off.", she says looking sad as I tried to shake Yuki from my mind.

"Sorry I can see it's hard on you to talk about it.", she says pulling her knees to her chin looking ahead.

I felt bad for Tess though being kept in the dark all this time, as I remembered the memory of hers I got while I drank her blood when she saved Yuki. I may have pointed a gun at Yuki, but Tess did nothing to warrant Yuki cutting her out like this.

I reached a free hand over and placed it over hers surprised at how touching her made the desire to be with her stronger, but I couldn't figure out why that was, I'm in love with Yuki.

I thought about today's hunt and realized she was watching my back, and had trusted that I had hers today, when I fell on her she'd flipped me and took the falling rocks, she even gave me her blood so that I would be ok.

And her blood it didn't taste human, but it was sweet and unlike Yuki someone else wasn't on her mind when I drank from her, she wasn't wishing I was someone else.

"Don't worry about it Tess, you've been worried about her, it's normal that you'd want to know about what was happening with her.", I say as she looks up over at me her eyes swirling with emotions. Eventually we reach her house and we hop out heading into the house which is still lit up.

"Tess your shirts a mess.", says her mom as I look over and notice a lot of the marks have cleared up a little.

"Yea mom that's what happens after they decide to give you another hunt to follow up the first.", she says moving the hair out of her face, "But thankfully I had Zero here to back me up, after the first one I offered to take him back while I took care of the second hunt he was still up to keep going even with jet lag. " she says as her mom smiles at me.

"Well lets get you guys in the kitchen I don't know about you Zero, but I know Tess's gonna want to eat. ", she says ushering us into the kitchen where Kane her dad is grilling up some large steaks, while her mother pours us each a glass of water.

Kaien is sitting at the table reading his tablet, intently. "Whatcha reading Uncle.", she says as she places her hands under her chin.

"You case history, I wanted to see what kind of case load the local hunter association has been giving you compared to the hunters in our area.", he says as Sarah looks over his shoulder.

"That's not even the half of it Kaien, she just finished school but do to hunting had to do virtual school, she's out so often, this has luckily been a slow week so far.", she says as Kane lays the steak in front of Tess who's staring off out the window but still gives her dad a smile.

"Hey mom, I'm pretty tired can we discuss this later.", she says as she starts to eat while staring at her mom. "Honey, Your Uncle and his friend are going to be heading things up at the main branch, I'm just concerned about you getting burned out with this case load as well as other things, so I wanted to see if he could help.", she says as Tess's phone rings again as she looks again before sighing.

"Speaking of the devil excuse me a minute.", she says leaving the room I listen to the other room to hear her.

"Ok what's the sitch now I'm trying to eat!", she says sounding tired. "He what! And you let him!", I'll be changed and be right there!", she says. "Dad I gotto go I have to go put Eric down!", she shouts running out the door before I can get up as I roll my eyes.

"Whose Eric?", says the Headmaster. "He's a rogue wolf!", says Kane as he picks up Tess's plate and wraps it throwing it in the fridge. "Wolf?", I ask. "Oh Kaien you didn't tell him did you. This is werewolf country, and in addition to hunting Vampires Kane and Tess have to keep the werewolves in line.", she says as Kane sits.

Werewolves, Tess was going to be taking on a werewolf alone. "I don't remember the Hunter's association dealing in Wolves.", I say looking at them.

"They don't, Tess and her dad here are among those who handle them, but that's separate from the hunter's association.", says the headmaster.
