KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir Chapter 82 (Epilogue)
POV: NoahThree days after the terrifying battle inside the mountain temple, the world outside feels strange and surprisingly quiet, almost as if it is holding its breath. Seraphine barely survives that terrible night, her chest torn wide open by the shadow beast, but her loyal ancient wolves refuse to let her die in the dirt. They pick her broken body up and carry her away into the deep northern woods, finding a hidden coven of ancient healers who work magic to stitch her shattered flesh back together. She remains unconscious for a long time, but her pulse is finally steady and strong. Ethan is found a few miles away near the old warehouse, badly beaten and bleeding out in the dirt, but he pulls through after emergency surgery and recovers fully following a few weeks of rest in a quiet medical clinic. Richard is not nearly so lucky. The federal agents move in quickly with handcuffs and arrest warrants, slapping iron on his wrists for fraud, embezzlement, and a massive criminal conspi
KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir Chapter 81: Shadow of the Mountain
POV: MarcusI snap awake before my eyes even fully open. My body is already tense, muscles coiled like a spring ready to snap. The air in the temple feels heavy, thick with panic and cold sweat. Elara is standing right over us, her face pale in the faint shadows, her chest heaving as she tries to catch her breath. Her voice cuts through the quiet night like a razor blade, sharp and urgent. Get up, she whispers harshly, shaking my shoulder hard. Now. We do not have any time left to waste because everything is changing right this second and we are entirely out of time to prepare for what is coming. There is nowhere left to hide from this nightmare.I am on my feet in less than two seconds, my hand instinctively dropping to the hilt of my weapon at my belt. Noah stirs right beside me, blinking the sleep out of his eyes, looking up with a confused frown and shaking his head to clear the fog of sleep. What is wrong, Noah asks, his voice still rough with sleep as he pushes himself up off t
KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir chapter 80: Shadow of the Mountain
POV: NoahThe cold wind howls outside the old stone walls, but down here deep inside the mountain, the air is dead silent and freezing cold. Every step we take echoes off the walls like a hammer hitting an anvil. We finally push through the heavy broken archway and step right into the main chamber. I thought we would find a massive hall filled with ancient secrets, statues of forgotten kings, or hidden traps. Instead, the room is tiny, almost cramped. It is a single circular space carved directly out of solid black rock. Right in the dead center of the room stands a single stone pedestal, worn down by centuries of dust and time. Resting right on top of that pedestal is a dagger. At first glance, it is completely wrong. It is not made of gleaming silver or heavy dark iron. The blade is carved out of a solid piece of deep black glass that drinks up all the light around it, leaving a dark shadow where the steel should Seraphine drops straight down to her knees right in front of the pedes
KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir Chapter 79: The mirror
POV: MarcusWe stepped into the third trial chamber. The air inside was cold and still. In the center of the giant stone room stood a massive mirror. It was huge. The glass stretched from the floor up to the dark ceiling. It did not look like a normal mirror. It had a smoky shine to it.Seraphine walked up right beside us. Her bare feet made absolutely no sound. She pointed at the tall glass.“The Mirror of Truth,” Seraphine explained. Her voice echoed in the big empty room. “The mirror shows what you truly are. It does not show what you wish to be. You must look together, or you do not look at all.”I took a deep breath. I looked over at Noah. He nodded once. We stepped up to the mirror side by side. We stood perfectly still and waited for the dark smoke to clear.I looked at my reflection. My stomach dropped hard. The man in the glass looked exactly like me, but his hands were a total mess. They were completely covered in thick red blood. The blood dripped down from my fingers.
KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir Chapter 78
POV: NoahThe second trial chamber felt different right away, heavier somehow, like the air itself carried old pain. We stepped inside and the door sealed behind us with a low grind. Smoke started filling the space fast, thick and gray. I coughed hard, eyes watering. Then I froze. The smoke cleared and showed me a scene from my childhood that I wished I could forget forever.There I was, small and scared, standing in our old house. Richard towered over young me, face red with anger. He screamed at young Noah for showing weakness after I cried over a scraped knee. His hand flew out, backhanding me across the face. The sting felt so real I touched my cheek, expecting blood. My eyes burned. That slap echoed in my ears even now.Beside me, Marcus faced his own nightmare. A training room with cold stone walls. Elders beat a teenage Marcus bloody for sparing a target’s child during one mission. Blood ran down young Marcus’s face, but he didn’t cry. He just took it, jaw clenched tight. My he
KISS ME BEFORE YOU KILL ME: The Assassin and the Hybrid heir Chapter 77
POV: MarcusThe tunnel felt like it went on forever, dark and damp with that earthy smell that stuck in your throat. My side still ached from the silver wound, but I pushed through, one foot in front of the other. Noah walked right beside me, his shoulder brushing mine every few steps. That small touch kept me going more than anything else. Seraphine led the way, her steps sure like she’d done this a hundred times before.When the tunnel finally opened up, I stopped dead. The chamber was huge, circular, with a ceiling so high it disappeared into shadows. Cracked stone made up the floor, pieces shifting under our boots. But what really got me were the walls. Murals covered every inch, painted in faded colors that still popped in the low torchlight. Wolves running with vampires. Hybrids standing shoulder to shoulder with both, fighting side by side instead of tearing each other apart. Families mixed together, laughing around fires. It hit me hard.Everything the elders taught me as an a

Kael didn’t hesitate. He moved closer, voice low and rough. “The Elders didn’t send ordinary bloodsuckers. They brought their oldest executioners. The ones who’ve been killing hybrids for centuries. They want this over tonight.” He dropped to one knee right there on the dirty garage floor. His pa

The Vale family knew how to throw a party, and it’s very extravagant. A Vale gala was the kind of event people talked about for months after it ended. The kind where politicians, billionaires, celebrities, and investors all gathered under the same apartment, pretending they didn’t secretly hate eac

Chapter 7 The gala was a total shitshow. By the time I dragged myself out of the elevator and into my penthouse foyer, my social battery wasn’t just dead—it was buried. Hours of shaking hands with vipers, dodging my family's loaded questions, and trying to shake off that weird, lingering stare fro
