Savage Hunt by Jane knight

Chapter 55

Chapter Fifty-Five: It starts with a howl

Travis and I walked on the path leading away from the house for quite a while. It was a strange feeling to be doing something so normal with him. We walked side by side and every so often his hand would brush against mine like he was trying to remind himself that I was there.

I tried not to bother him as his eyes moved over the pathway and the trees that lined the beaten path. I watched him look around, how he seemed to take everything in all at once. Every tree, every leaf, it was like he was memorizing it all. Like he was seeing something that I wasn’t seeing with my human eyes. He stopped walking and stiffened beside me. Travis grabbed my hand, squeezing my fingers softly. I looked down the path that led us deeper into the woods.

“What is it?” I asked. His lips twitched, but he didn’t look at me.

“Daddy is coming.” He smirked down at me and I pulled my hand from his.

“Damn it.” I grumbled, turning away from him. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to see Ryan. I just knew that he was going to try to take me back to the house or maybe he was coming to talk me out of being in the hunt despite what he had said earlier. I didn’t want to hear it and I wasn’t going back to Scott’s house right now.

It didn’t feel like home right now. It felt like lies, like everything else in my life.

“Sweets?” Travis called out as I stomped down the trail, not paying attention to where I was going. “Where are you going?”

“I’m not going back to the house.” I called over my shoulder, walking quicker away from him.

“I doubt that he’s coming to do that. I mean, he likes seeing you all angry hot as much as I do, but he’s a softie outside of the bedroom.”
