THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN THE VERDICT
Gemma's POVAll heads turn upwards, the near two thousand of them following and even pointing in the direction in which Alpha Grey stands looking, his eyes focused on me. "Come down, Gemma," he repeats. "We don't have all night to spend here."Afraid of what could happen if he loses his patience-with how ruthless I know him to be- I start my slow descent down the tree, while the voices of the men start to echo angrily again as I walk into their waiting arms."I will kill the man who lays a hand on her," Alpha Grey declares, and their reaction towards me and my hiding place instantly soften, while they move aside for me, leaving a clear path that ends before Alpha Grey and the man. The latter, as soon as he sees me, seems to want to explain something to him, but the former hushes him immediately."Come, Gemma. Come," he says, and I notice the hint of a smile playing on his face.Given that there's nothing for him to smile about, I find him suspicious and feel wary about what he plans

Gemma's POVI feel my skin grow cold when he asks the question."A woman of your harem, Alpha-""No... no," he cuts in, his familiar silhouette shaking its head. "You are hiding a lot, and I plan to get the truth out of you. Tell me... who are you?"I bite on my lip, trying to think of a convincing lie to tell him. The success of the Akari League's plot lies heavily on my shoulders right now, and one mistake can put an end to it before it even sees the light of day."I do not know how to ans-"He does not let me complete the sentence, as his hand grabs my neck with so much force that it sends me into a coughing fit. Like our previous meeting, he slams my back into a tree, and whispers into my ear."The easiest thing in the world is for me to kill you. The only thing that will save you is for you to tell me who you truly are."He means his words about killing me, as his wrist is pressing so hard into my neck that breathing becomes difficult for me."What do you want to know, Alpha?" I

Gemma's POVWhat wakes me the next morning is a commotion outside.I sit up with my head groggy, and listen for the sounds coming from outside. There is a lot of noise, and though it does not sound as if the rebels have come upon us, it is quite loud as well. It makes me leave the bed and walk carefully to the tent's opening , where I find a large crowd. They are mostly crowded around something, and I try to ask, but the men don't seem to be interested in speaking to me. It only takes one particular man."The Alpha is dying," he says. "His Luna has asked for no one to touch me."The Alpha's Luna, Hailey?And I do not know why, but the thought of Alpha Grey dying leaves bile in my throat. It feels almost impossible to even believe, yet the crowd of the men and their loud muttering proves it all. Determined to see things for myself, I start to weave through the men, passing between any two who actually move aside for me to pass.At last, I break through the circle, and there he is, lyi

His eyes make me think of exhaustion, and make me feel as though I made it worse for him. "Not you again." "Let me at her. LET ME KILL THE LITTLE BRAT!" Hailey screams, still restrained by the men. She looks anything but a Luna at this point, and I feel embarrassed for her with how she looks. This is going to be something she will want to forget, and the memory of her losing her marbles before the Alpha and his men will haunt her for years after this.He turns his gaze on her as she continues to rage. The stare is intense and imposing-a threat, a warning, a combination or exaggeration of both-but she soon steadies herself with her head dropping down low, allowing for the men to relax their grip on her. Slowly, he rises to his feet with the aid of his sword, by sticking the end in the sand and lifting himself by the hilt, holding it as though it were something very dear to him. The moment he stands and takes a good look about him, he calls for someone I have never heard him speak of

I know Hailey is forever going to hate me for this, and that for as long as she is Luna, she will keep on trying to find a way to get back at me for what happened. Even now, I can feel her eyes blazing fire in my direction. "Leave, Hailey. Go get some rest."She does not try so much as a protest, but only darts off, her flamboyant, now dirty gown trailing after her. With the three of us alone, he now turns to Alfred."Get rid of Ali's body. The coward got rewarded for his impulsivity."Alfred bowed low and made his exit, leaving me with the White Crow and his head full of white hair, who moved to the edge of his bed and sat there, staring at the fire for so long that I started to wonder if he knew that I was still standing here, still waiting for him to speak."Thank you."It feels incredibly hard to believe that he is thanking me, but sure enough, I know what I heard. Besides that, he is now looking straight at me, his eyes looking even more golden with the fire burning in the tent.

It doesn't stop there, but happens again and again and again until nightfall.His eyes locking with mine as he lets himself into me without restraint, turning me over and over until he has had a taste of every little bit of my insides. For a moment, I wonder if everybody else knows what we are doing, if Hailey knows.If Hailey knows...She will know.Does he care if she knows?No he doesn't, I decide. It matters the least to him. Maybe he even wants her to know...It comes on me with an air of realization. He is having sex with me to punish Hailey for coming to join him here when she was not supposed to, so that he puts her heart through agony. What Luna would not feel hurt when they were well aware that their Alpha was having sex with the very girl they were only moments away from killing? Even if he had a whole harem of them...He had been in bed all day, and no one moved a muscle. Questions started to go around by nightfall, but he did not answer them. Neither did he pay so much
Last Updated : 2025-04-18THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN A BROKEN WOMAN
I take a step backwards, only then realising how precarious of a position I'm in.Being a dangerous assassin isn't as interesting as anyone would like it to be when you're trapped before a Luna whom you have just discovered to be linked to the Iraka League, unarmed and without a knife, and with your body stark naked beneath her husband's clothes. She could call her guards in and have them arrest me while even accusing me of something I would be innocent of, and I would have nothing to defend myself with."Alpha Grey. He asked me to call you."She huffs. "He needs me now?"I have no response to give her with regards to that."Tell me," she continues. "Did you like it when he fucked you?"I open my mouth to lie, to deny that he touched me, but the words fail to come out. Denying it like that feels sinful and way too direct, as though she can see the truth in my eyes. "I don't know." I manage to say."Of course you did. He is the White Crow, better than any man you have ever been with,

"Go away. I'll deal with her."His voice is cold enough to make me freeze where I stand and send the messenger breaking into a run that leaves both of us alone in the tent. Almost immediately, he covers the distance between us and grabs me by the hair before tossing me about until I roughly hit the bed. Right before I know what is happening after crashing against the soft surface, he reappears, his hand forming a tight noose about my neck that threatens to snuff the life out of me."I'll kill you, dirty spy," his voice whispers as his hands choke me.Instinct forces my hands to reach past the bulges of the muscles of his arms and towards his neck, where I try to get a grip on him without success as he presses even harder on me, choking my breath. For the second time in hours, I regret not having my knife with me. I would not mind slashing him with it and killing him once and for all at this point.Then, he lets go.I roll off, the royal robe of his loosening and leaving me half naked

THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN HUNTED
ALPHA GREY She went silent. Then she asked again. "Who were they?""Swynford boys. Descended from me. I should be their great-great grandfather or so... I don't know. But I killed three out of their family's six children. The girl even wore my mother's necklace."At first, she was mute. Then she replied. "Everyone dies."I looked at her, at the nonsense she was saying, and she suddenly did not seem so good a witch to me. "Everyone dies. But I killed them.""For their skins. They would be honoured to know that they did so much for their ancestor."I thought of it, of the first boy with the broken arm that surrendered himself so I would set his siblings free. Brave as he was, the boy did not want to die. He only died because somebody needed to in the face of their threat. "No. They will never forgive me in the Land of the Dead. They will-"My utterance was cut up by the sound of her laughter, and I turned an ugly glare at her."On the positive side of things, you won't be going there.
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN GRAVES
ALPHA GREY The fact that the knife was sharp made it a blessing. I cut through the two young men with ease and without peace.There was a heavy, turbulent feeling within my chest as I worked, and I knew it was the beginning of my torment. Killing a fellow werewolf and without good reason came with a price-the tearing of your soul apart. I thought it was a funny bargain... losing my soul for some skin.My hands worked through the night, covering my arms in blood. And when I was finished, I rolled the skins up, looking at the bare musculature of the two young men. Then, I started to do as I promised, to bury them. I dug a grave so deep that it would take even more effort to dig up again, and put the young men in. With exhaustion, I started to cover the young men back, and just before sunrise, I had fully buried them.The whole time, I listened for the rest of their siblings, surprised that they were still hiding in the house and not making any efforts to run from me. The heavy feeling
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN CONSCIENCE
ALPHA GREY "But you watched them kill me for something I knew nothing about. Your sister testified against me, and all because it began with a lie where I was made to come save someone from rape.""We only wanted to rob you and get a purse from you. Our parents are dead, and we struggle to find work. So we tried to rob you and let you go, but you killed our brother and left us with no choice but to find a way to avenge him.""I did not kill your brother with intent. I did not plan to, nor did I know when I did it."Already, I was starting to think of leaving them alone. But I needed a new skin. "I will only spare one of you. The rest will pay with their lives for my death. The only thing I will do as an act of mercy is make sure that your deaths are quick and not painful, unlike what I suffered yesterday. You will forget it as soon as it happens, like people in a dream."They looked around at each other, feeling like people in a dream, but aware that the threat I was was real and imp
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN VENGEANCE
ALPHA GREY By the evening of the following day I went out of the tree again.My feet were sure footed and determined on where exactly to go, and I was soon in the very alley where they had me arrested. This time, I had a different sort of hood on, and restricted my presence to the darkest shadows, waiting for my chance. People passed by me, but few of them actually paid any attention as long as I wasn't bothering them. Soon, I saw what I was waiting for.I had every face from the previous day etched into my memory, and there was no mistaking this one pulling the prostitute into the darkness, the both of them too caught up in their drunken laughter to notice anything else. I watched them from where I stood, and smiled in amusement as the lad pulled up his breeches and pushed himself into her."Enjoy, lad. This will be the last time you will ever be with a woman."I watched him pull back and forth while she moaned, and smiled when he slowed, pulling at her hair before completely takin
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN THE SENTENCE
ALPHA GREY The sky was turning dark when they started to carry out their sentence.A gallows was quickly raised up for me, and I watched them all from where I stood on the platform, at all the people watching and waiting for me to die. For the first time in my life, I felt real hatred in my heart for other werewolves. They did not care for the truth. They only cared for whatever would make them happier and take them out of the miseries that had become a part of their daily life-even if it meant that entertainment was the unjust judgement and unnecessary death of one who was truly innocent.Not a word was even permitted for me to speak in my defence.I continued to hear comments and jibes about how ugly I was as they tightened the rope's noose about my neck. Then, I stood still as men who knew how to use arrows gathered and stood in position, ready to shoot at me. I swallowed as I thought of the young woman that brought me back and if she knew what was happening. She had told me that
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN UNFAIR
ALPHA GREYWe ran down the stone pavement before turning down a lonely, dark alley.Almost immediately, the screams of a woman reached my ears and I ran even faster towards the five men I saw gathered around a spot. Without hesitation, I threw the first man I could get my hands on off to save the woman on the floor when wild bouts of laughter rose around me. The woman on the floor joined in the laughter and stood up before I saw that she was not a woman but a man yelling as one to draw attention. The five laughing men pulled backwards and stood in a circle while pulling out weapons."Give us all you own, and we'll let you go."I looked at them, and at the girl I followed, who had now burst into laughter herself while stepping back to let them deal with me. I looked them all over, noting how different their clothes looked from what I was used to before shaking my head as a no. I had nothing to give them."A stubborn one?" They laughed, before one of them with an axe moved and cut into
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN TO DIE OR NOT
ALPHA GREY I looked up at her and at the smile on her face."What do you mean when you say I cannot die?""My spells have made you a higher kind of werewolf. Your type is already rare enough for you to be the only man generations of secret witches in my family can raise from death in two hundred years. Consider yourself a god, now, and conquer all.""I don't want to be a god." I answered, my voice weak.She looked at me with the same rage as when I asked her about my family. "You cannot help it. You are already one, and can do nothing but sit back and enjoy.""I am not one." I insisted."But you could breathe underwater and didn't seem to have a problem with it."I remember exactly what she's talking about-the way I floated within the glass. "That was water?""That is the least thing that matters to the both of us. There are other things, but chief among them is that you have enough power to become a god before my eyes and those of all who will set their eyes on you from now on. With
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN MIRROW
ALPHA GREYI had stared at this other man for a long time. He did not look anything like I was supposed to be. His hair was not the black that had belonged to Jack, but a white color that rode from the roots, leaving no space for any other colors. His skin was not smooth, but a rough mass of scar that felt thick and burdensome. His face was ghostly in its appearance with how it looked like that living face of a skull. He looked to be a different man from who I was altogether. Yet, he was the container that housed my awakened soul. His hands moved when I moved mine, and his fingers snapped when I snapped mine. His head nodded when I did mine, and when I spun around to see even more of the scars that plagued his back like barnacles on a ship, he did the same. That was when I was convinced that he-this man in the mirror was me. I could not deny it anymore.This realization brought me down to my knees in front of the mirror as it faded away, leaving me alone with the witch and her secre
THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN THE MOST PAINFUL SLEEP
ALPHA GREYI remember falling asleep with everything fading away from me.It was like falling asleep, and still yet the most painful sleep I had ever fallen into, so that I prayed to die and felt relief come over me when everything started to hurt less-when I felt everything lessening. My vision blurred, my skin felt less of the burning, and even the smell of my own burning flesh that sickened my gut stopped getting to my nostrils.All that remained was darkness, and all that was in the darkness were moving, lively images that flashed through my head of times long gone. There was the one of a younger version of my mother telling me she loved me and looking at me with eyes I knew told no lies. Of my father dying and leaving us... so this was what he felt when he was dying-this darkness and haze. Of my little brother dying shortly after... he too must have felt like this when he died. An image of the first time I earned money to feed myself and my mother from working on a farm. Of the f
