ALPHA GREY

I ran like a madman and climbed atop a tower.

There, on the highest point, I shifted to my werewolf form and howled the loudest I ever have, calling for my men to gather to me. At first, there was no response, so I howled again, and this time some dark figures started to rush towards the bottom of the tower. An arrow whizzed past my ear as I looked down upon them, and another arrow struck me full in the chest, sending a hurt through my body.

They had only turned on my murderous instinct, and raging, I jumped to the bottom of the tower where they were gathered. The first of them to attack came at me without warning in the form of a shadowed figure lunging from the dark, his blade glinting in the faint moonlight.

I waited for him to come to me and drove my fist into his gut, while he coughed something wet and warm on me as he doubled over. I did not give him time to recover, seizing his wrist and twisting it until I heard the crack of his bone. With two more of the rebels

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   DEPARTURE

    ALPHA GREY The feel of her soft and inviting lips remain in my head even after I leave her.It had all been so intense-the heat, passion and desire going forth from her for as long as it lasted and even after. It made my inner wolf growl in approval, urging me to claim her as my own, to leave on her neck the mark that would bind us for all eternity.As I turned to leave, Gemma's voice stopped me once again. "Alpha?""Yes, Gemma?" I asked without turning. Something told me that looking at her could stop me from leaving and make me want to stay with her. "Be careful," she said. "I don't want anything to happen to you."A chuckle preceded my answer. "Nothing can happen to me. You should know that."I only hear the huff of her breath, and with that, I turn and walk away, leaving Gemma, Rose and Alynna behind. As I emerge from the house, I'm greeted by the darkness that covers everywhere and the purple patch in the east that shows the advent of sunrise.With a gentle huff from my lips, I

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   GOODBYE

    ALPHA GREY I took the bodies out myself before returning to them, setting them at ease.Still, tension remained in the air between all four of us, and I could feel it. They made a small fire in the centre of the room, and we sat around it, staring into them. All was eerily quiet, and I could feel them staring at me when I wasn't looking."Is this how you stare at fires in the north for nothing, little one?" I asked, beckoning on the girl to come to me. She moved towards me with slow steps and I drew her into my lap to pat her hair when she was close enough. It seemed to encourage her confidence, because she spoke after it."Not all the time. Father and Mother used to tell me stories."My head instinctively turned towards the woman, and I saw the pain flash in her eyes from her daughter's words. As I watched, she raised her head and her eyes met mine for a second before she looked away again, hurriedly brushing something off her cheek. This reaction of hers stabbed at my heart, and I

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   A NEW DAWN

    ALPHA GREY It was not difficult to wonder given what I heard about Alfred.He too was there as the sun rose, a man loyal to the end. A man who was one of the reasons why I was deemed a god, because he had spies that saw and knew everything, and told me of it just as it happened. Standing a few paces away, with his broad frame towering over the others, and his claws as deadly as any, I could not fathom that he would do anything that would go against my commands.Alfred was among the first members of the pack that conquered all, the first to stand by me when I had only just become the force that would bring Suro down to its knees. He had been my right hand for years, his counsel sharp and his loyalty unquestioned except on a few occasions. Yet, as I watched him wipe a blade clean with an improvised rag that had come from one of the bodies of the dead soldiers, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss."Alfred," I called out to him, and the red in his hair that was not bloo

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   MASSACRE

    GEMMAThe poor house was gathered all over by Rebel Soldiers who were certain that Alpha Grey was inside. "Bring him out to us," they chorused, leaving me terrified that they had defeated all our soldiers.The woman and her daughter shrieked in terror, with the little one rushing into the safety of her mother's dress as they both started to cry. For my own part, I stepped closer to the Alpha, knowing that none of them would be able to touch me, or any of us in this place.Not as long as he had his strength with him. "There he is," One of the rebels barked from outside in a show of enthusiasm I found chilling.I looked up at Alpha Grey in the midst of all the chaos-at his white hair as it gleamed faintly in the dim light, and his golden eyes as he stood motionless, watching the events unfold around him. There seemed to be no trace of the weakness that had gripped and left him down on the floor moments before-proof that the wine had done as I thought it would, and rekindling the man t

  • THE ALPHA'S MATE IS AN ASSASIN   WINE

    GEMMA The woman and her daughter screamed in terror."Relax... It's me." I told them. "But the Alpha?""A number of soldiers brought him here," the woman said, regaining her composure after the scare I put her through. "They said that the Rebel Army are putting up a quick attack, and they are trying to contain them.""They left no soldiers to stay with you?""They all rushed off without waiting.""They won't make it. Not unless we can wake him up."I turned towards the man that lay in the room and there was Alpha Grey, the leader of the Suro Kingdom, lying on the mat they had spread earlier to sleep themselves. His eyes were closed shut and his chest rose and fell with slow breaths. I approached him cautiously, still feeling the blood of the soldier I killed on my hands. I dropped to my knees near him and dared to kiss him, touching his white hair, but he still did not move. It made me wonder why... why the Moon Goddess would always place him in my power when I was supposed to kill
