Bedding My Vampire Mate

"I can\'t help but feel uneasy about the hunt, especially since the one who drowned her hasn\'t been caught," Alpha Benjamin said, only enough for Noah standing beside him to hear.

"Although Jocelyn can be very naughty we both know that she can protect herself. Also, Carl went with her so I am sure that he will not let any harm come to her," Noah said to reassure the worried Alpha.

Noah escorted the Alpha back to the packhouse.

Fifteen minutes later, Jocelyn, Audrey and Rachel were seen standing in the middle of a greenish area surrounded by tall trees.

Not only she but other contestants of the hunting competition were too busy attending to the matter at hand to enjoy the chirping of the birds.

"Isn\'t this the same forest we passed through two days ago… How come the snow that covered the trees and the entire ground of the forest is nowhere to be seen?" Audrey asked in awe. She looked far ahead of her to the point that her vision could cover but the result was still the same; the snow was gone.

"Every year, a few months before the festival, the forest and everything in it is always covered by snow. But surprisingly we always wake up on the day of the festival and realize that the snow in the forest is gone…," Rachel said beaming.

"It\'s a sign that even the moon goddess is happy and bless the day of the hunt."

Audrey shifted her gaze to Jocelyn walking beside her, "Is it true?"

"No man can perform such miraculous things… It can only be the handiwork of our great moon goddess," Jocelyn had a proud look as she talked.

"Does the mood goddess really exist?" Audrey\'s question made other hunters stop in their tracks. They all turned and give her murderous glares.

Audrey saw their murderous glares but pretended not to.

"I mean Anna has been praying to her for the past thirteen years to deliver her but she hasn\'t done anything…,"

"Hey, Audrey don\'t say that; not here or in the presence of any other pack members," Rachel stopped Audrey from saying more words about the moon goddess.

"Ladies, we are not here to talk about the moon goddess but to hunt. At this rate we are not gonna go back with any prey if we keep up with this attitude," Jocelyn said before the two other girls would continue talking.

She can already tell that their little talk has made Audrey and Rachel forget the reason they are in the forest.

"Ok, so where do we start hunting?" Audrey said the words Jocelyn wanted to hear.

"As you know I am not familiar with the layout of the forest…,"

"Now you are talking baby girl," Jocelyn said grinning only to appear in front of them.

"This way Audrey, try to keep up with my pace so you don\'t go missing," Jocelyn said, this time around she appeared ten feet away from where they stood.

"Girl, I can do that even better," Audrey imitated the same tone Jocelyn used. When it was her turn to use her powers, she covered more distance than Jocelyn.

Jocelyn and Audrey repeated the same thing while Rachel stood at the same spot she stood staring at them enjoying being what they truly are.

"This is what she has been yearning for all these years and now that she has met the match she has always wanted, I am sure that they will both set the forest burning hot," Rachel muttered. Using her powers she catches up to them in no time.

They kept on running further into the forest. On their way, they passed so many hunters until they got to a cliff.

Jocelyn leading the hunt halted and moved a few steps backwards from the edge of the cliff.

"Let\'s take another way down…," Audrey stepped forward, not letting Jocelyn complete her words.

Before others could fathom what the hell she was up to Audrey jumped and landed on the edge of another cliff that was separated by a huge and long hole.

"What did she just do!" Rachel\'s mouth dropped open as she stared at Audrey standing at the opposite side of the cliff they currently were at.

"Don\'t tell me that is all you have got Jocelyn?" Audrey grinned at the girl that was staring at her.

"What you saw earlier is not up to one-third of what I can do," Jocelyn replied confidently. She moved so that there was a huge space between where she stood and the edge of the cliff.

"It\'s dangerous…,"

"I have got this," Jocelyn gently pushed Carl\'s hand holding onto her right hand.

"Also you are a part of the pack and very eligible to join the hunting contest so I permit you to join the contest…,"

"But…,"

"You and the others are exempted from protecting me today. Go have fun too," Jocelyn said with a smile.

She leapt into the air and instantly she shifted to a brown werewolf which had some touches of red on her fur.

"Jocelyn, don\'t…," Jocelyn gave one powerful leap and she was propelled forward by her powers.

Rachel covered her mouth in astonishment as she watched her best friend jump over the cliff.

There was a loud crack the moment Jocelyn landed on the opposite cliff. The crack resulted from the impact of her powers.

"You are not that bad I must admit," Audrey said beaming as she pats Audrey\'s fur.

"They are crazy!" Rachel let out the words. "Those two girls are damn out of their minds".

Rachel still didn\'t get over the shock despite Jocelyn having landed safely on the other cliff.

"Off we go. See you guys later," Audrey waved at those standing at the opposite cliff. She disappeared before Rachel could say anything.

Jocelyn also left the cliff.

Reaching the foot of the cliff, the first thing the transformed Audrey noticed was that this part of the forest was quiet.

Even with her powers, she couldn\'t sense the activities or the presence of anyone around.

[I guess she wasn\'t lying when she said that she is the master of this part of the forest]

Audrey stared at the werewolf walking beside her.

"I guess the real hunting begins now, little Wolfie," An evil grin appeared on Audrey\'s face after she finished speaking.
