The Huntress 56. Custody Battle
...Ash POV...Ever since Silvio escaped the FBI, I hadn't gone on any new missions. Damian hired extra security to keep an eye on his family. Which meant my role as Sienna's bodyguard was made obsolete. Until Jace reassigned me, I was working alongside him to help locate Silvio. In the span of a year, we had practically used up our entire budget and resources to try and find him. We were no further ahead. It was unbelievable how someone could manage to avoid us so well. We had everyone working overtime on this project. Until further notice, Silvio was the most wanted man, dead or alive. Every task centre was focused on finding anything that could lead us to his location. But after a year, our budget was running tight, and our resources were thinning by the second. The New York senator wanted results. Not only did he not like how long this task was taking to achieve, but he hated how little we had to show for it. We were no further ahead than we were a year ago at this time. It was ex
The Huntress 57. Night Hawk
...Maverick POV...I was working in my office when I heard my dad's angry voice emanating from his office. I knew I shouldn't snoop, but I couldn't tame my curiosity. My dad is quite normally calm and collected, especially at the office. The only time he's not is when it has to do with one of us. My sister, particularly, based on what's happened. My sister has always been my father's princess. But with the attack and her kidnapping, his reigns on her have become so tight that I'm surprised she can even breathe. If it weren't for the twins, my dad would've locked her in the house and ensured no one could ever get to her again. But the twins stood by her, knowing how unhappy that would make SIenna, and offered to keep watch over her instead. I know they've been allowing her to have a lot more freedom than my father was aware of, but I wouldn't out her. I may be her overprotective older brother, but even I know when to take a step back. Sienna and the twins are much more alike than any o
The Huntress 58. Contingency
"So what happened?" I ask, trying hard not to show how irritated I was by him not getting straight to the point."Someone broke into my house." He begins, making my eyes go wide."What? Are you ok? Did they get anything? Do you know what they were after?" I explode in a whirlwind of questions."Mav..." My dad comments, turning his gaze to me in a discreet way of saying 'shut up'.I nod my head and signal for Asher to continue."As I was saying, someone broke into my house. However, instead of taking anything, they left something, or rather, someone behind." Asher commented, making my eyebrows furrow in confusion."What is that supposed to mean?" I ask, once again getting an annoyed look from my father, instantly silencing me from asking any further questions and interrupting Asher further."Have either of you heard of the Huntress?" Asher asks instead, making me furrow my brows in more confusion."No. Should we have?" I ask, looking to my father, who seconds my answer."I had a feelin
The Huntress 59. Inconsequential
After the meeting with my Dad, I went back to my office to continue reviewing the annual report that needed to be finalized before our meeting with the shareholders later in the day. However, for whatever reason, something wasn't sitting well with me. For some reason, I couldn't seem to get the name the Huntress out of my mind. I couldn't explain why. Only that it felt as though I was missing something. By noon, I decided I couldn't continue dwelling on this anymore. I wasn't sure why I felt compelled to talk to the twins, but it was as though something was urging me to see them. I chalked it up to my brotherly need to see them since it had been over a month since the last time we talked. This is why I found myself driving up alongside their apartment less than an hour later. I wasn't even sure if they were even home. But I figured I might as well try considering I was already here.I took the elevator to the top floor penthouse unit and knocked on the door, waiting to hear if my bro
The Huntress 60. Enigma
...Kieran POV...The moment Maverick left, I was left on edge. I didn't understand what was going on, a feeling I didn't enjoy. It felt like I wasn't in control, and I could tell Zander felt the same way.We shared a look earlier when Maverick had first announced the Huntress. I didn't like that he knew about her. But mostly, I didn't like how this was bringing our involvement with the Devils to light. Up until now, I was certain that the rest of my family was oblivious to our crusades. But it was clear the only ones oblivious were me and Zander. From Maverick's claim, it appeared he knew a lot more than we thought he did. I just wasn't sure how much. I also felt uncomfortable because we were only learning about this from Maverick. If the Huntress was truly involved in this, then why didn't she contact us to let us know that she had managed to find Elanore Maddox? Why didn't she tell us that she had handed her over to the FBI? Why didn't she tell us anything?I shared another look w
The Huntress 61. Emotional Damage
...Asher POV......One week later...I've been on edge since I found Elanora Maddox in my kitchen. While I know it wasn't what was important, I couldn't stop dwelling on wondering who was behind all of this. It was clear that someone else was on our side, but who? I thought for sure I would have more answers when I discussed what happened with Maverick and Damian, but for some reason, I was left with more questions than answers after our meeting. It felt like I was missing something, but I couldn't explain what. Damian's words continued to ring in my mind. Only Damian and Sienna knew how to hack into Night Hawk. Which meant there were only two suspects. Damian and Sienna. But we called Sienna, and she didn't seem to be aware of anything. But could it have been an act? Was she in trouble? This wouldn't be the first time she's been kidnapped, so I couldn't rule that option out. Was it possible that there was a third party at play? I hated not knowing what was taking place. While I kn
The Huntress 62. Sweat
After leaving the facility, I had one destination in mind. I needed to see Sienna, wherever that may be. I needed reassurance that she was, in fact, ok. I need to ensure that someone hadn't kidnapped her and forced her to do something against her will. As much as Damian denied Sienna's involvement, I knew she had to be involved. I just wasn't sure to what extent.Once I was back at my house, I called Sienna. The phone rang a few times, making me think that she wouldn't take my call. However, after the third ring, she finally answered."Si?" I call out, hoping to hear her voice."Ash?" She calls out, surprised to hear my voice. I find myself smiling as I hear her call my name. I was so happy to hear her voice again that I forgot to respond."Ash?" She called out once again, not sure whether I was still on the line or not. Making the cells in my brain finally kick into gear. "Where are you?" I blurt out."What?" She asks, clearly caught off guard."Where are you?" I ask again, dismissi
The Huntress 63. Jumping the Gun
...Sienna POV...Ash's unexpected call threw me for a loop. I hadn't expected him to call me. The moment I saw his name appear on the screen of my phone, I felt my heart drop. Is it possible he figured out who was behind Elanora's sudden appearance? No. I thought.That's impossible. I made sure to cover my tracks. It would be impossible for anyone to figure it out. However, the dread I felt wouldn't vanish that quickly. I tentatively answered his call, desperately hoping I was just jumping to conclusions."Si?" I hear him call out, in the familiar nickname he had taken to calling me when we were in Colombia. I find myself smiling instantly at the nickname. However, I don't respond at first."Ash?" I call out, wondering why he's calling. I felt myself growing anxious, worried that he somehow figured out that I was the one that brought Elanora to his house. I began going over every detail in my mind, petrified that I had left evidence that could point to me. However, as my mind begins
