Chapter 24: Chapter 24 - Leaving the Hunting Grounds
Mylo groaned as he woke up his entire body. While still in wolf form shaking and shuddering. The snow being tossed off his body. A moment later the pile of snow next to him shook and a smaller wolf awoke.
He grinned and chuckled as Artemis woke up. She made a noise with her throat before shoving her head in his scruffy neck. Then she walked away, somehow making her wolf form seem exotic as she did so.
He cackled in his form as he followed after her. They arrived at the tent they left from, the back flap still open. He followed inside to see her already transformed into a human form. Smirking, he walked up and rubbed against her.
She ran her hand through his fur as he went.
He then transformed back into his human form. Picking up the clothes that were discarded the night before. Once he was dressed he looked at Artemis and frowned. She was fully clothed.
"Hahaha…" She laughed at his expression, "don't pout. I am sure it will not be long before we can go at it again."
"Such a beautiful female form. How you stayed a virgin for so long I will never know." He responded as he opened the front flap, "shall we go wake up the rest of them?"
"Very well." As she walked past him out of the tent she ran a hand against his chest seductively. She has really taken to seduction and sexual arts. That really caught him off guard. Maybe she was just really pent up.
Mylo shook his head and followed her out. The entire area was as bizarre as he thought it might have ended up. Many women were sleeping in tents nearby. The central fire was still lit and burning, keeping a large outer area warm and free from snow. Causing grass to grow.
On that grass was Scarlett with several other women, all asleep. But completely nude and in compromising positions. Mylo shook his head.
Mylo then whistled very loudly. An ear splitting one that caused all the sleeping hunters and Scarlett to stir awake. It was time to work and he couldn't have his second in command sleeping on the job.
Scarlett sat up and looked around. When she saw it was just Mylo she yawned and waved. Getting up groggily the huntresses were much more responsive. Climbing up out of their orgy pile with embarrassment while finding clothes to hide their bodies.
"Huntresses, prepare to leave the safety of the hunting grounds." Artemis called out as she smirked at them. "We have found sponsors to protect and help us."
'"Yes Mistress."" Many of them yelled in acknowledgement.
Many of them raced around the camp, waking others up. Others packed equipment and their weapons. It was time for them to leave.
Mylo called out to Scarlett, "the fun part is over Scar. It is time for you to go get preparations done. They will also need transport so you will have to call Waller."
Scarlett frowned and looked at him, "please? When can I get a break? You get to sit back and relax while I do all this work."
Mylo shook his head, "it seems you forget that you will get one of those all-out fights you love so much soon. Besides I am still working, just on a different part of the project." His answer caused her to grumble and stand up. Ignoring her own nudity.
"Whatever, tell your daughter I said 'Hi'." Scarlett responded before walking away picking up her phone and calling Waller, "hey Waller, yeah I am aware I am not at the base. I was helping Mylo with something. Get several transports enough to move roughly two hundred people and their personal weapons ready." There were a few moments before she sighed. "I know this is not a good time. But you know how Mylo is."
Mylo sighed and walked away, "come on let's help your people." Artemis nodded in agreement as she listened to Scarlett.
"I agree completely. Mylo is very inconsiderate of others." Scarlett raised her voice as he walked away, making sure he heard her.
"It seems like you have very nice friends." Artemis began helping her huntresses and Mylo helped. While he did so he noticed there was still some hostility but there were also gazes of lust and interest.
A few hours later he was watching the huntresses board the ships. Artemis was standing off to the side talking with Waller and Scarlett. He smiled and waved goodbye entering his vehicle.
He took off and flew to his hidden house. He would spend another day with his daughter before they went to watch a hockey game together.

"So this is where we will be staying?" One of the huntresses asked in suspicion.
"Yes," Scarlett answered, looking at the ceiling that reached several miles up. They were far underground in a rather large and expansive base. They were in just one of the cavernous areas. It was more specifically the landing and take off area for the base. There were several smaller and some larger aircraft that could fly.
"Welcome to ARGUS." Waller called out, "we will get you to your own private dorms and then when we have time we will help with any training you may need." She then walked over to Artemis. "If you are going to be their commanding officer we will have to make sure you are trained as well."
"It won't take much. I am already a warrior and a hunter in my own right. As well as a leader, I will just need to learn about your weaponry and tactics." Artemis answered as she walked with Waller.
They arrived at a conference room. Waller closed the door behind them when both Scarlett and Artemis were inside. "That is good. The next few days are going to be busy for ARGUS and the entire base."
Scarlett nodded in agreement and groaned in annoyance. "Tomorrow is going to be the worst. I am going to be so bored."
"Get over it Scarlet. Tomorrow we are going to the UN. So we will leave you some work before we leave. But I wanted you to ask any questions now because there won't be much time later." Waller stated as she looked over the new arrival.
"Hmm… I do not have many questions. But will my people be treated as determined by the contract I signed with Mylo?" Artemis asked to make certain.
"Yes they will. I see no problem with it since you will be a useful asset. I did want to ask how you and Mylo met however. I assumed he was on a hostile basis with all deities." Waller asked with a hint of surprise in her voice.
"Haa… it is a story for him to tell in detail. But I will say his hostility to the gods started at the same time I met him. He has plenty of reason to hat them after what the gods tried to do." Artemis brought a hand to her abdomen, "I would have done the same. Which is why I helped him in the first place."
