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

set time for my job. Whenever the sun sets, that’s when you come in. I work for a private agency known as Magna Security, a corporation that masks its source of funding by offering security to popular events around the city. No one knows its main source of income comes from the Vampires that we kill. I suppose you could call us the secret service for Vampires Hunters. The agency has locations all over the world, and I’m often required to travel from time to time. The travel doesn’t bother me at all though, just another part of the job.
    Once we begin our shift, it’s customary that we gather for a briefing in the main hall. It’s a large room with a classroom desks, a podium, and a white board. I hate this room actually, simply because it’s the room where I’ll be paired with a partner, typically a male. I personally don’t think that the male hunters measure up to me, and I suppose that’s why I never date them. I don’t date civilians either, simply because I find them too weak to stand with me. I would break a typical man in half.
    Once we are all gathered, most hunters help themselves to the refreshments of donuts and coffee, proving themselves worthless and no better than the weak police on th e streets. Eventually, the captain enters. Captain Julian Banks, one of the lead hunters of the agency is also my personal mentor. He rescued me from those vicious Vampires that fateful night, and took me under his wing. He tends to give me the most challenging jobs, only because he knows that I love the thrill of the kill.
    Once Julian stands before the podium, the room immediately falls silent. It’s the moment I’m waiting for; the moment when we get our assignments.
    “As you all know, our president is coming close to a treaty with the Vampire and Werewolf communities. However, there are still a few stragglers that don’t agree with the new laws. It’s your job to make certain that these laws are enforced for the sake of human safety.” I rolled my eyes. It is the same exact speech he gives night after night. No one is in the mood to hear this crap. I slammed my fist on my desk, not realizing that I had let my frustration become public knowledge.
    I have a bit of a temper and it’s not something that I can help. There’s a rage burning deep inside of me, a fire that will continue to burn until ever Vampire in existence is dead. I don’t agree with our president, but that doesn’t matter because by majority vote of the human race, we must learn to coexist with these creatures.
    “Do we have a problem Hanah?” Julian asked in an authoritative voice. He stared at me with stern eyes, as if he were disappointed that I had interrupted him.
    “No , Sir.” I answered humbly. Although, I could slowly feel my temper rising again from the low snickers of my peers. Julian took his eyes off me and continued with his speech. Once he finished, he paired off everyone into groups, handing out assignments. There was only one problem… Every hunter had a job except for me.
    Stunned, I made my way to Julian immediately. How could he publically shame me like this? I wanted to work, I needed to work. This job was my life.
    “What the hell are you doing?” I complained, grabbing his arm roughly. In an industry like this, that was surely a punishable offense. I was being down right disrespectful questioning his authority and especially in that manner. But I knew Julian had a soft spot for me and I wasn’t afraid to exploit it. Julian snatched his arm from my grasp and pulled me aside.
    “Have you gone mad Hanah?”
    “Have you?” I countered. I should have been afraid of him, but I wasn’t. I was too upset to be afraid of anything at the moment. The memory of what the vampires had done to my parents was constantly playing in my mind. Psychologists had tried and failed to help me. The only relief I got was killing vampires and I wasn’t going to let Julian get in the way of that.
    Frustration was evident on his face
