It was three o’clock when Alyssa closed the classroom door and headed for the front entrance of Turtle Cove Day Care.

She was dressed in her daily outfit of a pink shirt, jeans and sneakers with her hair held back with a headband. What was great for her classes…was a hidden blessing when it came time for her training sessions.

It’s been over a week since her trip and she’s getting used to her new Life as a Wild Hunter. She learned quickly the fighting styles needed to defeat the orgs and the different weapons she can use as the White Wild Force Ranger.

Plus, her and Cole have been getting closer.

Once outside, she sat down on a bench and thought about him. The more time they are together, the more relax she is. It got to the point that she even dreams about him…which always make her blush even thinking about those hot dreams. I mean…the R-rated kind J

However, she also sense in him how thin the line between him and his anger. She asked Celine about it, but she told her to wait until he tells her.

‘I wish I knew now,’ she thought, ‘because I have a feeling that I don’t have much time left.”

“Hey, Alyssa,” a voice said.

She looked to the source and made a face as Rick came to her. “What is it?” she asked as she stood up.

“I’ve been trying to call you, but you don’t pick up,” Rick said, “Why don’t you answer my calls?” Rick is a beefy guy with dark red hair, green eyes and pale skin. While wearing a black shirt, jeans and sneakers, he looked like the kind of guy…that can bully anyone.

Well…almost anyone.

“I was busy with more important things,” she replied, “Plus, I don’t want to go on a date with you. Do both of us a favor…leave me alone.”

“Just one date,” he said as he got closer to her, “You won’t know if we click unless you try.”

“You heard her, just go,” Cole said from behind Alyssa.

Rick backed away as Cole put an arm around her. “Who are you?” Rick said.

“I’m Cole Evens,” Cole replied with an angry tone in his voice, “and she’s with me.”

“Go find someone else,” Rick said, “She’s mine.”

At that moment, she sensed a growing anger in Cole…as well as something dark. “Rick, drop it right now. You don’t choose who I want to be with,” she said in an angry tone, “I choose for myself…and its not you. If you don’t mind, Cole and me are going.”

Without giving Rick a chance, she lead Cole away and down the street.

It wasn’t until they turn the corner before Cole said, “Why did you do that?”

“I don’t know…” she replied, “I guess I had it with him bugging me for a date. Plus, I felt you getting angry and…something else.”

They stopped near his bike before he asked “What do you mean ‘something else’?”

“I Felt something dark and…dangerous. If it would have come out, you would have…” She stopped there as she felt herself shake from the memory. She hugged herself as she tried to calm down.

Seeing how upset she was, Cole pulled her into his arms and held her. He knew that she felt the growing darkness in his Soul and that it was in relation to her actions. ‘I don’t know if I can hold on,’ he thought as he hugged her, ‘If not, I might hurt her in the worst way.’

Meanwhile, Alyssa sense in Cole what he wanted to hide from her. At that second, she knew that she had something to do with keeping the darkness away from his Soul. ‘I’ll do anything to keep that away from him,’ she thought, ‘Anything!’

After a while she looked at his face and said, “Thank you.”

Cole smiled, hearing what she didn’t say, before he kissed her. In reply, she return the kiss with all of her being, telling him how important he is to her.

Cole was surprised as he deepen the kiss, saying without words what she meant to him.

Just then, Alyssa felt a Power growing between them, as if she was becoming a part of his Soul and vice versa. Before she knew it, the Feeling ended…along with the kiss.

As Cole pulled away to look at her, he was amazed that the first exchange between Lifemates has happen. Her worries about him was so Strong that she was able to complete the Soul Bond.

“What?” she asked shyly.

“Nothing,” he said as he got out her helmet, “I was thinking…about the Love you have for me.”

She smiled at that, hearing the True Meaning of his words, before she put on the helmet.

He did the same before they got on his bike and left the area.

When they reached the house in the woods, Alyssa took off her helmet and looked around her.

The house was an 18th century-style house that was three stories with a wrap-around pouch and balconies. Painted in white and pale peach, the house looked relaxing and peaceful…more so among the trees of the woods near the Valley.

It looked normal with people working around the house, yet it was more…as the bodyguards were guarding the area.

As she got off the bike, she saw Celine opening the front door. Alyssa put the helmet on the bike and went up the pouch stairs, seeing the look on Celine’s face. “What’s wrong?” she asked Celine.

“We have to talk,” Celine said as Cole joined them, “Girls only.”

“Cole, can you wait a few minutes?” Alyssa said to him.

“Sure,” he replied, “I’ll be in the house.”

After he went into the house, Celine lead Alyssa to some seats on the pouch. “Alyssa, I know what happened,” Celine said as they sat down, “I Felt you complete the Soul Bond with Cole.”

“That’s what I did?” Alyssa said, “I felt something ‘dark’ in him and wanted to do anything to stop it. Then, as I was kissing him, I felt as if…I was becoming a part of his Soul….and him a part of mine.”

“That’s what the Bond does,” Celine said, “It joined the Souls of Lifemates and prevent the darkness from taking over a Hunter’s Soul. Cole and the others have been Hunters for so long, that the call to darkness is strong. If a Hunter answer that call, his Soul is lost for all time…and he becomes an org.”

“If I didn’t do what I did, Cole would have become…an org?” Alyssa asked.

“Yes,” Celine said.

After a minute, Alyssa said, “Could you tell Cole I’m in the Valley with my Wild Animal? I need some time to myself.”

“Sure,” Celine replied, “I just have one thing to say: You have Loved Cole from the first day…and that he was chosen for you since the beginning of time. Keep that in mind.”

Alyssa nodded in agreement before she started to walk towards the woods.

Celine watch her go as Cole joined her. “Did you tell her about the Lifemate Bonds?” he asked.

“Only about one of them,” she replied, “The other two she’ll discover soon. She may not be in the training mood, but she does need you…more than she knows. I would take the camp gear and the overnight bag for the both of you. I’ll tell the others that you’re staying near the Valley tonight.”

“Thank you,” he said before he went inside the house.

‘They’ll be a handful until this is all over,’ she thought as she stood up, ‘I just hope it ends soon…for their case.’

Then she sensed something in the air that was making her uneasy. She closed her eyes and used her Powers to find the source.

After a second, she opened her eyes and mentally got in touch with Merrick. *Merrick. Have yourself; Danny and Max use the bikes on patrol tonight. Cole is staying close to the Valley. *

She broke the Link and wonder what evil is coming for the Hunters…and why.

Deep under the city of Turtle Cove is a cavern that is so old, no one knows how it was form and why. Hidden in the cavern is an evil as old as the Hunters…and as powerful.

“Yes,” the evil sprit said, “I knew one of the Hunters would sense my powers. The time for my return is close…and then we’ll see who’s the strongest to control this world.”

Just then, a woman in a long black dress entered the cavern to stand in front of the sprit. Her long black hair was loose around her dark Asian eyes and pale skin. She made a bow before saying, “How may I serve you…master org?”

“Now is the time to start destroying the Wild Hunters,” master org said, “Go. Give any org you find the power to fight against those from a dying race.”

“As you wish,” Toxica said as she bowed. She turned around and walked out of the cavern.

She had been serving master org ever since his defeat 3,000 years ago. Although she was born human, she was given the power of a duke org.

As much as she enjoyed her powers; she was tried of waiting for something to happen.

‘If master org doesn’t do something soon, I might have to take over,’ she thought as she entered a room.

Waiting there was a man also dressed in black, but his long blond-white hair was loose around his pale beige skinned face. He was shorter than Toxica, but very deadly with knifes and swords. “What was his order?” he asked.

“To find any orgs and help them defeat the Wild Hunters,” she replied, “At the same time, we’ll be taking the org’s powers for ourselves.”

“It won’t be long before our time begins,” Jindrax said as his eyes glowed, “Only then will master org regret giving us duke powers.”

“In more ways than one,” Toxica added as they left the room.
