She slips off him a few moments later and crashes heavily on the bed next to him, where they lie in silence and without saying so much as a word to each other. Everything else is so quiet that only the sound of heavy breathing, the chirping crickets, and far off yells from some men who are still awake for whatever reason reach my ears where I lie, curled up and loosely wrapped in the robes he threw over my body.

Does he even remember that I am still here?

For me, I can only think of how I want to be away after what I have seen. It feels like betrayal-to have the White Crow crumble beneath her after how he had treated me with so much derision. I know she is his Luna and I am only a body in his harem, only to be called upon for sexual pleasure, and with no emotions attached to any part of it, but being a body hurts a little bit. I don't want to be a body. I want to be loved and desired and wanted.

Not one only to be used for sexual pleasure with no emotions...

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   SECRETS

    Hailey and Alpha Grey are together in bed, giving me the chance I need.I know I'm taking a risk of being caught twice in the same tent, but I need to confirm my suspicions. Also, if I'm alert enough, I can slip through without her taking notice of me. With this, I start on the journey to her tent again, and sneak in. It is just as well-lit and empty as before, and makes me wonder why. Something is suspicious about this place, and I need a knife. Mine was lost at some point between last night and right now, and I have been unnecessarily exposed for its sake. Getting another one should be my priority at this point.My feet are at their slightest as I slip back to the sleeping men, confident that one of them must have dropped a knife carelessly enough for me to steal. Sure enough, I find one particularly sleepy one with a prostitute by his side and the knife right above his head. With a quick swipe of my toes, I scoop it up while walking past, and return to the tent, watching it from

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   I SMELL YOUR FEAR

    I might need to expose her. There is no doubt that she is working with the Iraka League, and that they are only moments away from their victory with her on their side. With all I have seen of her in one night, there is no doubt that she is far more than just being the White Crow's Luna, and that she has so much power. She is dangerous, to say the least, and I need to tread carefully.The only man who can help me now is the White Crow, even with how vague it seems. I watched him melt before her, allowing her to do with him as she pleased. Yet, if he can somehow hold himself well when faced with her influence, I feel that she will have no hold over him. Possibly. To get him to believe me, I need evidence, something so convincing that she will be unable to deny. And what better evidence is there than the ring?I might need to steal it if I want to tell Alpha Grey about it. He has little reason to believe me without it, and I risk my head if she somehow finds a way to lie her way out.

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   THE RING

    I watch him return to the chair and the fire, sitting before it and staring into the flames. For a long time, neither of us says anything to the other, and I am just about to disappear again when all of a sudden, he jumps up, smashes the chair he had just been sitting on into two, and goes about the whole tent like a roaring whirlwind, tearing everything apart in a fit of rage. I start to run, to get as far away from him as he can, only for his hand to close around my wrist, stopping my momentum, interrupting my flight, and pulling me roughly towards him.I turn to him in horror, and stare straight into the twinkles in his eyes as his chest heaves up and down. I can see the fur on the sides of his face and his chest, as his morphing into his wolf form begins but somehow doesn't go further, leaving him between the two forms."Where are you going?" He asks me."Nowhere," I mumble, feeling the fear run through me. Anywhere but here, if the truth be told."Do I scare you?"I shake my head

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   JUDGEMENT

    The sound of low mumbling and speeches is exactly what wakes me up.I open my eyes to the light that follows sunrise only to find Hailey tightly bound to a chair while Alpha Grey stands before her, pacing the small space and stepping over the things he had destroyed the previous night. She speaks to him in a voice so low that I cannot hear what she says, but he can, and replies to her in a voice that was just as low as hers.I jump up to my feet so they know I'm there, and they both turn to look at me. Alpha Grey's face gives nothing away, but Hailey's look is so poisonous that I almost fall backwards, wondering what she will do if she knows that I am the one, solitary reason for her downfall.They both eye me as I move past them, outside the royal tent, and into the semi-darkness. It is better for me to be away.**By the time the sun has fully come up, the news is around the camp."The Alpha has secretly arrested his Luna, and for a reason nobody knows."The mumbles going about wit

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   THE NIGHT MARCH

    GEMMA'S POVWe start to march through the night as he said we would. After all, the men have forced themselves to sleep in the afternoon in the aftermath of the announcement of Hailey's trial and execution to get themselves well-rested for the battle ahead. All of the men have become like bats as the night comes down with how they prepare actively. They line themselves in precise order into their marching positions with brightly burning torches that cut through the dark in their hands while being urged to maintain a perfect silence. Each step is to be taken lightly, and each man is mandated to watch for the one next to him so that no one will be lost on the way. For my part, I still have his royal attire on, and it makes me wonder if the men can recognise it, to tell that I am already entangled enough with him for them to keep their distance if I did not permit them to. They pay very little attention to me but are not averse to my presence.It soon began, and very similar to the fir

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   THE TRUTH ABOUT HAILEY

    ALPHA GREY Everything has gone almost too fast for me.The Blood Moon had its effects on me, seizing me at a time when there was no chance of escape, and allowing for all my men to see me weak and vulnerable. This messes so much with my mind that when Gemma, the girl who somehow manages to figure out that I need a drink of wine for my recovery, I lose control of myself and my inner wolf and start to kiss her. I have had enough kisses in my life, but something about her lips drives me to so much yearning that I search her mouth with my tongue, seeking for more. My lips explore her body until I throw all caution to the wind and decide that I want her. I want myself inside of her. I am just about to do as my head drives me to when stops me, announcing that she has never done it before. It pisses me off a bit, but does little to my intentions for her, so I promise her that it's only going to hurt a little.Then I get myself inside her, and the feeling of tight warmth takes over my brain

  • 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

    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   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
