Free After The Moon Sets (Werewolf Paranormal Romance) by Reba Taylor Page B

and he pulled me roughly into his office, slamming the door behind him.
    “I love you Hanah,” he said with strong conviction “I love you deeply, but if you ever undermine my authority, I will have you reassigned and I promise you that you won’t like it.”
    I didn’t believe him. Julian loved and treated me as if I were his own daughter. It was that reason alone that I was able to get away with the antics that I pulled in the agency. I nodded, reaming silent. Now was not the time to test his threats, he may decide to go through with them. Julian took a breath and walked over to his desk, tossing a thick file in front of me.
    “There is a reason why you weren’t paired tonight,” he gestured his hand towards the file for me to take it, “I have a much bigger assignment for you tonight.”

Chapter 3
     
    Shocked and excited, I picked up the file. This meant something—something big. I was finally up for promotion. Only the most lethal hunters worked alone. Julian was finally considering me as a lone hunter.
    At least, I hoped.
    I took a seat in one of the guest chairs by his desk and quickly skimmed the file. A frown fell upon my face once I realized what the mission was and what it required.
    “Werewolves?” I loo ked up at him, my expression obviously displayed my disapproval. “You want me to work with Werewolves?”
    This was high treason. When did the enemy suddenly become my friend? Julian nodded, confirming my suspicions.
    “The agency have their reasons,” Julian defended, pointing at the picture in the open file, “a Vampire exists in their world, a Vampire that could prove to be extremely harmful to both humans and Werewolves.”
    “And you are trusting me with this job?” I didn’t mean to sound so dubious about such a great position, but this seemed more relevant for a more experienced hunter. Julian smiled. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so amused.
    “I never thought I would see the day when Hanah would doubt her skills for an assignment.” His mocking tone was enough to send me over the roof, but instead I drew in a deep breath and looked down at the image as he instructed.
    Sometimes, staring in the face of these creatures made it very difficult for me to believe that they weren’t human. They held such a striking resemblance to humans, leaving few physical traits that they weren’t what they seemed.
    The man in the pho tograph was strikingly handsome. I don’t think I found such a raw physical attraction in anyone until I looked at the photograph. His name was Aiden, the Alpha male of the very large Werewolf pack of Detroit. I knew of him, I have a tendency to spend my free time studying on my enemies. I knew of Aiden very well.
    Aiden is a 350 year old Werewolf who has migrated from the main Werewolf community, where they are better known as lou-garou. Aiden and his pack have been very cooperative, only feeding off the animals on their land. He’s much more handsome than depicted in my study guides I noted. I’d never had the opportunity of meeting him. Someone of my stature wouldn’t be caught within five feet of his presence. Aiden may be an Alpha male, but he is also considered royalty among his kind.
    Even though I was staring at a mere portrait of him, there was something about his eyes that spok e to me. Dark chocolate, with a silver glow around the pupil, something that was a dead giveaway that you were in the company of a Werewolf. I immediately got the impression that he was gentle, but even though I was strangely attracted to him, I knew that I had to remember who and what he was.
    “I’ll take it,” I said, closing the file, “when do I meet him?”
    “Tonight.” Julian answered, gesturing to the file.
    “His location is in the file. You’ll receive more information on the mission when you meet with him. Good luck Hanah.” That was all. I left his office holding th e file in my hand.
