The Assassin, the Alpha, and the Dildo

There was someone in the room with me. I knew it and mywolf knew it too. She was becoming restless inside me, growling while pacing the infinite space of my subconscious.

Then a woman laughed in a low mocking sound.

“I’m impressed. You’re strong enough to sense me.”

I turned around again and again, but there was nobody there. Her voice seemed to come from the walls, making it impossible to tell where she was hiding.

“I’ve heard about werewolves with special abilities,” I said, trying not to sound terrified. “I mever thought I’d meet one. I wonder what you want with a nobody.”

“Cute.” She laughed again. “I’m sorry, but I have to kill you now.”

My heart skipped a beat. I had never felt fear like this before. My whole body ached and I knew I was no match for this intruder. Even when the rogue attacked me, I could see my enemy. This woman was different. I couldn’t smell her or track her movements, and something told me she was definitely going to kill me.

The lights went out amd a thick fog of darkness consumed the entire classroom space. My wolf practically tore through me protectively shifting on will.

“Goodbye, little wolf.”

I shifted just as the assassin jumped from the shadows. She wore black with her face covered, and before I could get a proper look at her, she struck.

I dodged then slammed into her, flinging her across the room with terrifying force. The woman recovered quickly, disappearing into the darkness before I could attack again.

A sharp blow struck my side before I could react. I crashed into a desk, pain shooting through my ribs. I got up quick and saw her just as she appeared behind me.

My claws gashed her face partially ripping her mask. The force threw her against the wall. She smiled before the shadows swallowed her again.

I turned around just as the darkness grabbed my legs, trying to drag me down. I fought and trashed managing to break free with a furious growl.

Someone slammed against the classroom door.

“KIARA!” Trevor screamed. “Open the damn door!”

He kept ramming into the door trying to break in. The assassin appeared then looked at the door for a while then back at me.

“Looks like your knight in shinning armor has come to rescue you.” She said, mockingly. “How sweet.”

I made a move to attack her, but she stepped back  into the shadows. “I’ll be back.”

She was gone. The darkness disappeared with her, and the lights came back on. I couldn’t sense the fear anymore.

She was really gone.

I shifted back immediately, just as the door burst open. Trevor rushed in along with Cody and Axel. His eyes moved around the destroyed classroom before stopping at me.

“Kiara!”

“I’m fine,” I said quickly, covering myself. “Although I’d appreciate it if people stopped breaking into rooms while I’m naked.”

Cody handed me his jacket and a folded pants. “We sensed you shift from outside the door so I ran to get this from the gym.

Trevor grabbed my shoulders, checking me over with a worried expression that quickly turned furious.

“Who was she?” He demanded.

“I think an assassin. She could disappear into shadows, and she seemed pretty determined to kill me.”

“Did you get a look at her face?” Axel asked.

“No. She had a mask.” I took a deep shuddering breath. “I’m trying not to panic.”

Trevor snarled. “We’re going to Mrs. Heather. They have to do something about this.”

Mrs. Heather listened as I narrated everything making sure to skip the part where I shifted and partially kicked her ass. By the time I finished, Trevor was pacing behind me, looking like he wanted to tear the academy apart.

“A shadow walker,” Mrs. Heather murmured. “Those abilities are extremely rare. Do you have enemies?”

“The whole academy I guess.”

Mrs. Heather scowled. “I’ll have one of our top instructors investigate this immediately. We’ll find out how she entered the academy and why she targeted you.”

“Thank you.”

Trevor stopped pacing then pulled me out of the office. “You’ll stay in the Apex wing for a week. It’s the safest place in the entire academy.”

I turned. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me.”

“When did I suddenly become your prisoner?”

“Someone just tried to kill you!”

“And I survived!” I shot back.

“Barely!”

His voice echoed through the hallway, and my anger flared. Who does he think he is? He was annoying then but now he was more annoying.

“Stop treating me like I’m helpless! I can take care of myself.” I said, trying to keep my voice down.

“Clearly, you can’t!”

I stared at him for a moment. “You arrogant, controlling jerk. You don’t get to make decisions for me just because you think you know what’s best.”

“This isn’t about what you want, Kiara. It’s about keeping you alive.”

“I’ll keep myself alive.”

Trevor muttered something and before I could react, he scooped me on his shoulder and marched towards the Apex wing. I struggled and fought demanding he drop me but he didn’t listen. He didn’t stop until he flung me on my bed then left slamming the door shut.

I was still cursing when someone knocked. I yanked the door open, ready to bite someone’s head off, only to find Cody pushing a tray into my room.

“I brought you a few things,” he said casually. “Trevor’s orders.”

The trolley was loaded with clothes, toiletries, snacks, books, blankets, and other supplies.

“Cody, what is all this?” I asked even though I knew.

“Things you might need while you’re staying here.”

“I’m not staying—”

“Let me know if you need anything else.” He said, walking out before I could finish speaking.

I stared at the open doorway, wondering if the three of them shared one brain cell and took turns using it. It was the only plausible explanation.

Then I looked down at the trolley. My eyes caught sight of a black dildo sitting neatly beside a bottle of lotion.

I blinked then blinked again but the dildo was still there. It was real.

“Are you fucking kidding me?”
