Chapter 8
Selene
I knew it had been stupid to leave my scent uncovered as I ran back across the border. It couldn’t be helped though. I had abandoned my kit in the motel and ran, my only objective was to get home and find answers. I needed to stop the hit on the Alpha until I could break our bond. I wasn’t crazy about the idea of dying because someone else took him out while we were still tied together. I stopped at the first guild safe house inside the border and snagged the keys to an unmarked car. I wasn’t sure where I needed to start looking for answers, but I hoped my father could help as I sped down the highway towards my childhood home.
“Daddy!” I squealed, throwing my arms around him as soon as he opened the door.

LucasI physically recoiled as my mate forced our link closed. Hades whimpered at the rejection. We had felt her wolf’s joy at hearing my voice, but we had also felt the anger coming from her human side. This was going to be trickier than I had anticipated. We knew very little about the assassin’s guild. They were rumored to reject their mates and live solitary lives, but a mate could only be rejected before the marking. It had given me hope that my mate would accept our bond and we could work out the nasty business of me having been a target. It didn’t make sense that the moon goddess would pair me with someone so unwilling to accept our bond.I had to fight the urge to check in with Zane to see how far he had gotten on my order to find me a way across the border undetected. I was going after my mate, whether she wanted me or not. I had fu

SeleneI was a little surprised as I made my way down the long gravel drive, arriving at a small cottage. I knew it made sense for the leader of the guild to maintain a non-descript home, being flashy would make him easier to find, but I wasn’t quite prepared for how small his home actually was. I parked in front of the tiny house and quickly made my way to the door. My senses had been in overdrive since the Alpha had contacted me through the bond at my parent’s home and I was ready to find answers so I could complete my assignment. “Selene.” Called a man from the doorway of the home. “I’ve been expecting you. Your father called. My name is Alistair.”

I adjusted my top to show a little cleavage and made quick work of stretching seductively before the two guards. I intended to play with them until the next shift change in the hopes they would take me from the room with them. I may have been an exhibitionist, but I drew the line at being indecent in front of children. Their presence didn’t stop me from acting flirtatiously with the men, allowing them to catch the scent of my arousal. I smiled coyly as their eyes darkened when my scent hit their noses. I could tell by the low growl emanating from one man’s chest that at least one of them would be taking me with them when they left the room. After what I estimated to be two hours, there was a knock on the door. It was time for the shift change.
The Assassin's Mate Chapter 12
LucasArmed with nothing but the description Zane had extracted from our warrior and the directions Maggie had given me, I made my way across the border. It took time to pick up my mate’s scent of apples and cinnamon because of the need to run along the border to find where she had crossed. The scent was faint, only detectable because of my heightened abilities as an Alpha. It felt like I had been meandering along for hours, moving slowly to avoid losing the scent, when I finally came to a small house. I shifted and dressed quickly in the clothing I had carried with me. The house smelled and sounded empty, but if my mate were truly an assassin, then I wouldn’t be surprised if she were skilled in stealth. Cautiously, I moved toward the house, peeking in the wind
The Assassin's Mate Chapter 13
SeleneOnce we had escaped Luna Diane’s castle like home, the rest of my mission had gone off without a hitch. I had delivered the child to the priestesses and gotten answers about breaking my mate bond. Unfortunately, the answers weren’t ones I had wanted. The priestesses had informed me the only way to break a mating bond once it was sealed, was for one of us to die. There was a bright side to the information though. The mate bond could be broken by even a momentary death, which meant that if I found a way to be revived I could solve both of my problems. I wouldn’t be impacted by the Alpha’s death if I were the one to die and be revived. I wanted to spend time w

SeleneMy mother was freezing me out while lavishing praise on Lucas as we sat around the dining table. My father looked at me with sympathy and shrugged as my mother prattled on about how wonderful it was to have an Alpha in the house. I wanted to vomit. I hated that my family was taking to the man I was meant to kill so well. I ate in silence as my family fawned over him. Lucas had pulled a typical Alpha stunt, buying a lavish meal for everyone and having it catered in my parent’s home. I picked at the food before me for awhile before I couldn’t take anymore of the way my family was reacting to my mate. There were other things I needed to tend to, plans to be made so I could continue on with my life. I excused myself and made my way down the hall to my childh

I wasn’t certain how long I would be stuck with the Alpha, but I knew it would take time for Rory to find the appropriate voltage and for us to scope out a location that wouldn’t draw attention. There was one thing still bothering me as I walked into my parent’s home and made my way to my childhood bedroom. I had been told that Lucas was intending to kidnap the King’s daughter when I had been assigned to kill him. Even with the mate bond, it didn’t make sense to me that he would have gone through all the trouble to find me if that were still his plan. I decided I needed to talk to him. All thoughts of a conversation fled from my mind when I entered my room to find Lucas sprawled out in my bed.
