The hunter was already waiting at the clearance when Luka arrived. It hadn't taken the vampire long to get there, his superhuman abilities making it easy for him to speed across the rough forest terrain.
As much as he knew this was necessary, Luka still wasn't thrilled with the idea of teaming up with a hunter. They were the natural enemies of all supernaturals, but most especially vampires, who they had murdered in the hundreds.
And though Luka was immortal, he couldn't help but worry a little for his safety. The last thing he'd want would be to end up as a lab rat for the barbaric killers, who wouldn't hesitate to torture him as they used him for their experiments.
Seeing the barbaric killer in question poised against a tree with his arms crossed casually, the pureblood shook his dark thoughts away. De-transforming from his full vampire form to his humanoid state, he couldn't help but clench his jaw as he waited for the other man to acknowledge his presence.
"You're here."
