I finally did it...
I shifted...
As the weakest omega in Willow Tree Pack, I have always been bullied. I had no parents, my wolf was practically useless and I was just a weakling overall.
But then when I found out that Alpha Brook was my mate, everything changed. I became determined- I could not afford to be weak.
Since the mating ritual, I vowed to myself to get stronger.
Now, I'm standing in the middle of the pack fields, claws drawn.
I shifted...
Even though it is just a bit. Progress!
My heart skips with joy and my mind flutters to my mate at this moment. Brook would be so happy.
He was such a supportive partner. Even when the elders outrightly rejected me to be Luna of the pack, he stood by me. He believed in me.
Something is tickling me from the inside so I laugh. This is what it felt to be happy?
I can feel the weak presence of my wolf for the first time in years.
"I have to tell Brook!"
I turn on my heels and sprint through the tall grass field. Some pack warriors follow my movements with sneers on their faces. Brook might have accepted me, but his people have not.
It will all change soon!
The pack territory was so huge. It takes me quite a while before I can even reach the mansion's doors.
Naturally, the Alpha's chambers were situated at the very last floor of the great pack house.
My heart is pounding from joy. All the abuse, all the insults.
Weak. Useless. Wolfless.
I will show them how determined I am to become stronger.
I will become fit to rule the pack...
My feet slap against the floorboards as I dash through the corridors. His room is just up ahead so I pick up the pace.
I arrive before the huge doors and pant softly from all the running. There's a wide smile on my face and my stomach is fluttering.
Before I can push the door open, I hear the muffled moan of a lady inside.
"...uuu. Oh, Brook! Ohhhh."
What is this?
Am I dreaming? Convinced I'm hearing things, I press my ear against the wooden door.
"Shhh, Seline...don't be too loud."
That's Brook's voice. My mate.
"Ooouuu. I c-can't! Ar-ar-arghh. Yes...fuck me!"
That voice...
It belongs to my best friend. I pray to the gods that this is all a dream because if not...
My heart is racing faster and it's not from joy. No. It's from something else. A lot of emotions are passing through my heart at this moment; confusion, disbelief, anger, hatred, anguish.
"Ouuuu Alpha! F-f-fuck me faster!"
I start to shake my head and back away. Tears are streaming down my face, leaving behind a burning wet streak. What did I ever do to deserve this?
Why?!
With every moan of pleasure I hear, my world crumbles a little more.
I don't know when it happens but I break down, falling to the floor and wailing.
"Stop it! Why?! Why?!!"
I grip my ears with my claws that have grown out now. My wolf is clawing beneath me, scratching with such force I feel I might lose my mind.
"WHY?!"
The chamber doors open and I look up to see my mate standing before me. He's shirtless and sweaty; I can't help but notice how much he reeks of sex. I can smell the arousal in the air and I want to vomit.
"You..."
My eyes are burning; my vision is blurring.
"Oh get a grip, Gemma. It's not like we were fucking or anything."
Oh? Like that makes it better?
I clench my fists and I watch his eyes dart down to them.
"So you've made progress-"
"Don't! Don't say a word, Brook!" My knees are weak but I force myself to my feet. Behind his huge frame, I notice Seline. She looks nothing like the best friend I knew over the years.
Her lips are curved in a sick smile.
"Oh, poor you. There are some things an omega like yourself can never do in bed."
I glance back to my mate, see all the bite and claw marks. My breath hitches.
"Brook...can we continue? I'm getting excited from all this..."
My eyes are turning red from anger but there's nothing I can do. The Alpha smiles; "I'll be right there. First I have to take care of this nuisance. I can't let her tarnish our images..."
Before I can say a word, my mate opens his filthy mouth.
"I, Alpha Brook of the Willow Tree Pack, rejects you, Gemma of the Willow Tree Pack. I revoke the mate bond."
It's like the world goes silent for a second.
Then pain.
So much pain. It's like a fire has been lit inside of me and there's no way to let it out. I cry aloud and fall to the ground, breathless.
In my confusion and pain, I hear Seline laugh.
"I will make you pay!" Still burning from the inside, I spring to my feet, planning to detach my best friend's head off her neck.
I don't make it far into the room; Brook catches me by the hair.
He growls at me and slams my face into the floor. "Die you wretched creature! Having you for a mate was the worst curse in my entire life! Die!"
My face feels numb; he's slamming it over and over again. Seline is laughing; the wind is blowing from a window nearby.
Run.
The weak voice of my wolf.
Run.
So I do just that, using my last strength to push the alpha off me and darting to the window.
I fly through the opening and fall from the top floor to the ground. The pain knocks me out for a second but I don't stop.
I get up and I run.
I run.
Oh what a cursed life I live...
I don't stop running.

THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN THE WHITE CROW
Present DayThe man standing next to me stinks.I have to wiggle my nose every minute to somehow get rid of the stench. It doesn't work though; it's only a reflex.The only reason I have to stand next to this horribly smelling rogue is because we've been summoned by the Akari League Rogue Leaders. A year ago when I ran from the Willow Tree Pack, I had nowhere to go. I slept in caves, crying and mourning my horrible fate. There were days I went without food or water, completely frozen in grief.Until I was discovered by a rogue she-wolf. She had been harsh; laughing at my predicament."You trusted a pack wolf, an alpha at that? All they care about is their bloody hierarchy. Who told you someone like him would truly accept you?"Her words had been like thousands of needles piercing through my skin. I cried then, feeling the brutal force of rejection hit me again.The lady, Lalia, had said nothing. She just watched me cry in that dark cave. She watched me cry until I had no tears left.

The journey to the capital made me want to vomit.As the days flew by, the girls started getting familiar. The all couldn't stop talking about how wonderful this was. Who wouldn't want the protection from the most powerful man in Suro Kingdom?Being in his harem was everything omega girls like them could wish for.It's horrible listening to all this. Why did they feel like they couldn't be anything without some stupid Alpha's protection?I wanted to slap them in their faces. Look at me, I had an alpha for a mate. Where did that lead me?I ended up becoming a killer to stay alive. I pity them all; they're just too innocent to understand. The most part of the journey is sickening because of all the chatter. I zone out many times to save myself from the horror of listening to them.It takes five days to reach the capital. The capital of Suro is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.Unlike the forests where I grew up in Willo Tree, this was just magnificent.Strangely shaped buildi

The very word I detest most. Mate.Why is the goddess playing silly games? As if my first mate wasn't shitty enough...I'm standing outside the king's chambers now, in the middle of the night, clenching my hands in distaste. Mate.This entire thing just became a lot more complicated than it should have. Could my wolf bear the brunt of his death- or worse, my betrayal?Did it matter? Of course not.I think back to the day I was presented to the king. A week ago. Not long after our eyes locked, he recovered from the momentary shock. I didn't know what I expected him to do but it had made me feel bitter.He had crouched to the ground where I was knelt and leaned close to my ear. Close enough that I felt his abnormally cool breath on my skin."You shall not speak a word of this."He didn't say more. He didn't say less.That was all he had told me and then retreated to his throne. I had been baffled; stung a little.This was not rejection but it definitely felt like one.It brought back

Before I get the chance to understand his words, Alpha Grey violently draws me off the bed."Get out," he says coldly. I'm looking at him in disbelief. My skin still feels tingly from his touch. I stand there in confusion and he moves closer to me."You are an omega right?" I know where this is going and I don't like it. Memories of my best friend's laughter and Alpha Brook's betrayal taunt me.Grey doesn't wait for an answer. He laughs; letting his pearly whites gleam in the soft light."Of course you are. Your movements are too loud, heartbeats too obvious and your scent...your scent..." He leans into me and inhales.I just stand there, unsure whether to be afraid or not."Someone as weak as you can never stand by my side as queen. Sure, your place as concubine seems-""Stop it..." my voice has gone sour. All my courage, all the motivation I had coming here- everything was gone.At this moment, my eyes burn from forming tears. My voice is shaking as I step back away from him."D-d

The serene scene has become a haven of chaos.Yet, I have my thoughts on one thing. To gain the king's trust. I know I've failed woefully with him once, but I cannot afford to fail again. Not this time. Not with a chance as good as now. Everything is so confusing. It looks as though everybody is fighting everybody, and I find it hard to even know who is a friend and who is the foe. I take one step forward with my Omega, half-formed paw, step back because I'm still so confused, and try to look for a target. Looking for one allows me to find him, the king, commanding so much power without even trying to. He is still in his human form with a mighty sword in his hand, swinging it at any rogue that dares to rush towards him with graceful, lithe movements. There is blood on his sword and red on his dark, matte robe, but he doesn't seem to notice it as his sword drops rogue after rogue to the floor, leaving them lifeless in a pile around his feet.That doesn't deter them from attacking h

The Pack Hospital is brimming with the bodies of the injured and the deceased.And all of these, regardless of who they are, immediately show spirit when they see the king. When word spreads of his presence, everyone moves aside for him as he marches with his sister in his arms, and I follow timidly, my head bowed low to avoid the eyes that are following us.One of the pack healers arrives with two assistants to take her away from him, and he eventually gives her up to someone else. They work so cautiously that I am not sure which scares them more: hurting the patient or upsetting the king or both.They are on their way out when he calls:"And do not forget her, either."When I look up, his outstretched hand points at me, and they nod as I consider what he has just said. It was in the way he addressed me as her. When he referred to me, his tone was slight, almost derisive, as if he wanted nothing to do with me, and the sting it left in my chest was undeniable.You are useless.You've

Before I can figure out what is going on, five soldiers rush at me, forming a circle around me and holding weapons, their torches burning brightly."Where do you think you are going?" Their leader asks, a big man with one eye. The eye stares at me as if it can look past my skin and into the inner parts of my body.My heart thumps wildly within my chest, and I raise my hands in surrender. "I was only walking around, and I decided to take this path."The man with the one eye stares around at his men, who exchange glances with him. Then he turns to look at me again.I wonder if I can make it if I decide to fight them, bring their leader down and kill the rest, and this feels like an incredibly horrible idea. They are soldiers who outnumber me and who will be difficult to force an escape past. "Do you not know the law of this kingdom?" The one-eyed soldier asks me."What law? I have only been here for a few days.""Everybody knows that no one is allowed to walk the King's Way in Suro Kin

His voice rings in my ears, and while everything is fading into oblivion, I can still see him, although as though I'm looking through a blurry lens. He has two of his fingers pointed towards his face, and I can see that he's in a panic.A voice, one I can vaguely recognise as mine, is speaking:"I can't breathe."I truly can't breathe...My chest feels heavy, and this feeling makes breathing a chore for me.All of a sudden, his hands grab my head, and he puts his lips to mine and breathes down my mouth, only stopping to inhale and then do it again. This helps me start to breathe again, and when everything becomes steady again, he picks me up and moves me to his bed."Gemma? Are you listening?"I nod weakly, still struggling to breathe even though it feels easier than before. "You're going to be fine. I think you have bled all of his venom out. Your wound has stopped bleeding..."I watch as he holds up my bandage-now soaked in blood, and his bloodied sword-which I find strange. "Go t

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
