GEMMA

I woke up and sat up first thing in the morning, trying to remember all that happened from the previous night, and one by one, the memories came, making me smile with glee.

The cave was silent and without a single sound save for the soft breathing of the horse as it sat on the cave floor, the faint rustle of leaves outside and the chirps of the morning birds in the trees.

My eyes looked back at Alpha Grey's naked body, and thinking of how he dove into me only hours before made my body ache with forgotten pleasure, a reminder of the night before. I tried to find my clothes, but my motions only caused Alpha Grey's eyes to blink open, meeting mine with a warmth I hadn't seen in him since he put Alfred to death. We smiled at one another, and for once, I didn't feel like an accessory. I felt like his to own and love.

"Is it morning already?" he asked lazily as he reached out with a hand to brush back a wild lock of hair that had gone out of place and fallen across my face.

I nodded

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   GOING BACK

    GEMMA I woke up and sat up first thing in the morning, trying to remember all that happened from the previous night, and one by one, the memories came, making me smile with glee.The cave was silent and without a single sound save for the soft breathing of the horse as it sat on the cave floor, the faint rustle of leaves outside and the chirps of the morning birds in the trees.

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   FIRE

    GEMMAThe fire crackled between us, throwing shadows across Alpha Grey's face. With Alynna sleeping comfortably in his lap-we had all come to accept that it was her new bed, Rose sitting quietly while staring at the fire, her eyes so blank that they gave nothing away-though I had no doubt that she would be thinking of her lost husband, and myself who sat apart, the warmth of the flames barely reaching me because I was so clouded by my thoughts that I was left detached from anything surrounding me. I only wondered if I mattered to him.He hadn't even said anything about me when he spoke of leaving, as though I were nothing but an accessory to him, as though I meant nothing. Nothing at all...The hours went past and the night deepened, and Rose soon took Alynna away from Alpha Grey and inside one of the rooms to sleep. For my own part, I stayed by the fire, staring into the orange flames until Alpha Grey's voice broke the silence."Gemma," he said, his voice low and rough. "Come with

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   PLANS

    GEMMAThough everything cleared up, he remained moody and aloof till night.With everyone now aware that he was the Alpha, Rose and Alynna's house were filled with people who had come to see him and to pay their respects. What I found amusing were the gifts they brought to him which ended up being even far more than what Alfred and his men could gather. Even far into the night, there were still so many visitors, so that the Alpha had to move elsewhere for Rose and Alynna to sleep in peace in their own home.The next day came and he was still speaking to those who came to see him, placing himself in a distance that allowed the house to be free. That was when a number of women came to visit, to express their surprise that the Alpha had been hiding in a house just as small as theirs. I do not know if they knew that I could hear them, but it was to my hearing that they started to ask Rose how human he was and if he ate, slept, peed, and even breathed. I stood listening to them, wondering

    GEMMA I did not know much about Alfred. I didn't even know him.Yet when they returned so quickly that I wondered if Alfred was close by, and with him hanging between them as the crowd started to curse and spit, I felt pity for him. It was like watching the highest mountains crash into the sea and seeing the world turn upside down in a supernatural twist. I barely recognized him when they dropped him at the Alpha's feet too, his red hair taking up enough of the dust on the floor and mingling with it. His once-fine cloak, a beautiful work of art threaded with gold thread, had now become a disgraced ruin, streaked with dirt and blood. At the sight of him in a state that was so vulnerable, the crowd surged forward, their moving sea of heads looking to me like a tide of fury that I was caught up and trapped in. Around me, mothers clutched their children while spitting curses, and the elders did the same, throwing saliva into the dust. I pressed my lips together at the sight of all this

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   THROUGH HER EYES

    GEMMAEvery time I thought I knew Alpha Grey, he only stepped up and did something to blow me away and make me wonder what kind of man he was. For seven days, I watched him pretend to be a mute and deaf man outside and in places where he would be seen while allowing me to ask the questions. Many of the people cursed him in his hearing, but he did not seem to bother so much about it, and he only continued to listen to all they had to say about him.Inside, he had become Alynna's father and Rose's husband, caring for them so intimately that it was as though he had known them for so long. I envied them both-Alynna sitting in his lap at any time she wished, and Rose saying all she had to say for him to listen. Then there I was, nothing but his concubines and a member of his harem. He would remain with them until night and then disappear, only coming back as the sun rose. None of us ever knew where he went, and we would all be alone until he came as the sun rose.Then the sunrise came tha

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   WORDS

    ALPHA GREY I walked forward, and pulled my cloak apart, tearing it from my skin, and again, gasps went around the crowd. I, their Alpha, standing in their midst with nothing but my underclothes. What made them gasp was the skin of my back. The whiplashes had gotten to my skin, with the wounds inflicted on both the herald and that one soldier. "Look at me, my people." I cried out, spreading my arms before then. "Before you all, my men whipped me for thinking I was one of you. This is proof that I knew nothing about all that happened here to you. Still, I ask that you forgive me, for bringing an army that will rob and pillage you, and setting a tyrant over you to rule. I also take these wounds on my body as my punishment."They only bowed in response, all of them, before me in my underclothes. Every single one of them bowed before me, from soldier to commoner to rich to poor to adult to child."Men of my army," I called out, and the soldiers jumped up. "You might yet earn your mercy,
