Like Lending a Hand a few quests ago, you must talk to Odan Battlebow and take his flight to Stormheim; if you go to Beastmaster Hilaire without talking to Odan first, you won't be able to hand in the quest. This doesn't apply if you took his flight to Stormheim, left without handing in the quest, and came back on your own later.
Funnily enough, if you do go to Hilaire without talking to Odan, the "in progress" quest text she has is clearly meant to come from Emmarel Shadewarden or someone else, not Hilaire herself:
"Have you found Hilaire yet? She's a dedicated huntress, one who's more than willing to protect those who cannot protect themselves."

I found her at 34.7 41.6 in Stormheim; if you look on the map, it's a little bit south of the words 'Blackbeak Overlook".
At level 103 two Champion questlines are available:
1. Recruiting Rexxar, Survival Skills & Survive the Night, which give Champion: Rexxar that grants the Champion follower [champion=743].
2. Calling Hilaire Home and Bite of the Beast, which gives Champion: Beastmaster Hilaire that grants the Champion follower [champion=744].
To unlock these, you'll first need to complete a seemingly unrelated short quest chain in Val'sharah, offered by [npc=107317] at Trueshot Lodge at 41.7 59.99 who gives you the breadcrumb: Lending a Hand. Turn this in to [npc=107372] and do Rising Troubles and Assassin Entrapment. At this point, [npc=113325] should appear beside [npc=107372] and offer you Urgent Summons.
Note that [npc=113325] didn't appear for me until I'd obtained all three artefact weapons.
[npc=107425] is in Highmountain at Cliff's Edge, which is 200 yards NW of The Witchwood flight point at 36.73 35.39. For those without coordinates, that's on the first E of Edge on the map. Hints: You only need one piece of wood per quest to light the fire, berries aren't necessary, you only need four pieces of cooked meat to survive "overnight".
[npc=107316] is Stormheim, just North of Weeping Bluffs, about 300 yards North of the nearest flight path at Skyfire Triage Camp. Hint: Deliver Zoarg's Head to [npc=107460], as [npc=107316] really doesn't want it!

Description
With so many in need of our help, it may be time to call in some of our scouts in the field. One such scout is a huntress by the name of Hilaire. Although she abandoned her clan long ago to join our order, she still feels a need to watch over them. Her dedication to protect those who would shun her is admirable, but we need her here. Seek Hilaire out in Stormheim, and let her know it's time to come home.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Urgent Summons
The eagle appears to have a message for you: To: <name> Our scouts have returned with reports from all over Azeroth. It seems that things are much worse than they initially seemed. Return to Trueshot Lodge as soon as you can. -Emmarel Shadewarden
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bite of the Beast
I will not leave my post without Cora. A group of mages have her caged up like a beast, threatening to put her down. They claim she's responsible for the death of one of their own, but I refuse to believe that. Cora is a loyal and obedient companion; she would never attack without my command.
