The Alpha Assassin Chapter 18
With The Hunter’s eye’s on me, I couldn’t possibly try something against him unless it was time to finish him. My waking hours were spent unwillingly confused by the questions he posed. Was The Silent Assassin his boss, for lack of better terms, or a warning? I couldn’t figure him out, and I found people so hard to read, especially in the past few years. This was the first time someone confused me, and I had to admit it was just as much as a thrill as an annoyance. It might have just done something to quell my boredom, but I was curious, even if his words were a diversion. I scoured the unorganized library and found nothing of note, but it gave me something to do. I wanted to catch him alone, but he was either with Nolan or not easily found, and I knew that’s because he didn’t want me to find him. As far as I could tell, nothing was told to the Alpha. We carried on the next few days as normal or as normal as they could be. _____I turned a corner with my head down, deep in plannin

I silently followed him, my curiosity far outweighing my annoyance. It wasn’t until we reached the Alpha and Luna’s office wing that I paused. “We’re not. I’m not supposed to be in there.” I had a slight in with the Luna after I brought her flowers, and the Alpha ignored my presence. But I wanted to save that for when I really needed it. At the moment, there weren’t any specific pieces of information I needed that I knew were housed here; and I didn’t want to risk being outright banished from the place and lose that advantage I was saving. “They’re not here.” He paused. “There was a paint emergency in her new office, and The Alpha is meeting with his Beta and Gamma. Besides, I’m allowed to be anywhere,” he added, and I looked behind him down the dark hallway. There were no sounds, but was it a-“It’s not a trap,” he said, reading my mind. “But that’s what people would say if it were a trap, so..”“So you lie?” I asked.“I said people, not me.” “Well, I guess I’ll have to trust you

“It’s your birthday,” Alpha Raymond drawled with a smile that made my stomach flip. “Yes,” I said, looking down, wondering not for the first time how he knew that, but it was probably in some public record for ranked members. I wondered what those records showed of my pack now.“Do you sense your wolf yet?” Dominick asked, eying me hungrily. “No.” I shook my head, clutching my fork. Why was breakfast taking so long to get to the table today? I needed anything to distract me, to distract them. “You’ll get it soon enough,” Luna Natalie said, sounding bored.I was excited to get my wolf, for someone to talk to, even if they were part of me. But my nervousness ate any of my lingering excitement when I awoke today. My nerves weren’t something that even doing my morning stretches twice helped calm. Since the night I killed the visiting Alpha’s son, I never bothered learning his name; I realized how out of shape I was. So I spent some time before breakfast, daily stretching and training
The Alpha Assassin Chapter 21
The voice in my head, my wolf, pulled me back to myself. Hi - I thought.Rough day?I choked on a laugh - Rough few yearsI know - She paused - I know Having her with me calmed me more than I knew was possible. For once, since I was stolen from my pack, I felt that I wasn’t completely alone. Even if my wolf was part of me, she was a counterpart. Her showing up alerted me to my stark loneliness that I pushed away where it couldn’t linger on the edges. I felt stronger than ever, powerful as if my wolf awoke every sense along with her, and she might have. I stood up tall and brushed off the dress. I made it this far. I had been through worse and come out of it. I am from a long line of Alphas. Alpha blood runs through me. Powerful blood runs through me.I am power, and I am blood. __I made it through a polite dinner. I could tell by Alpha Raymond’s constant stares that he thought I would have come in crying or broke down at the table. But I wouldn’t give him that, and I didn’t feel
The Alpha Assassin Chapter 22
The next morning, I woke early despite not getting much sleep. I didn’t want to get pulled back into those fitful dreams. Even after the events of last night, I felt charged. The senses that awoke with me when I gained my wolf when I shifted never dulled. I didn’t realize that I would be this powerful even after we shifted back. I could hear the scuttle of Omega’s waking down the hallway. I could smell the lingering dampness of the bathroom from last night's shower. I could see the dust motes floating through the air. I knew my wolf senses would be heightened, but I felt like I was looking at a whole different world. I looked in the mirror. I didn’t look different. Possibly, my dark hair was a bit shinier, and my gray eyes flickered with something that wasn’t a fiery hate. But I could have been imagining things. Wishful thinking, maybe. On the way down to breakfast. I was pulled back against something hard, someone hard. Palms dug into my waist so deep I yelped. “I didn’t know

I blinked. I had never been so caught off guard, not even when he sat silently on my window, outright accusing me of poisoning him. To his credit, he wasn’t wrong. What did I live for? For the vengeance, for their deaths, for some sort of peace after the turmoil that was my recent life. I opened my mouth to say something; Ezra’s gaze was fixated on my mouth. “What do you live for?” I asked. I couldn’t think of one decent answer that he would find acceptable to his answer, and I knew better than to lie to him. I knew I couldn’t lie to him. One side of his lip twitched up, but he wasn’t amused. “I asked you first. No family, no pack.” He swallowed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I was just asking.” “It’s true, I don’t have any of that. I’m a prisoner,” I whispered. Ezra took a step towards me, his hand twitched as he lifted it, but then he dropped it again. I followed the movements, a crease between my brows. “After it’s all over, then what?” he asked. I averted my
The Alpha Assassin Chapter 24
I drifted from the library while Ezra stayed motionless. I was clogged with emotions and uncertainty, and I had to take a few minutes of silence. But before that, I had to do something. I couldn’t let my sadness overtake my plans, and Dominik gave me a fantastic idea this morning. I listened outside the Alpha and Luna’s office wing of the original packhouse, and her nothing, not even an Omega cleaning. Maybe The Goddess started to take pity on me after all. I slipped into the room Ezra had shown me and grabbed what I needed. I listened again. Still nothing. I had just enough time to carefully extract what I needed and set the place as I found it. Then, I did something I rarely ever did before. I went to the new wing. I knew the layout; it was in Amelia’s office here. She rarely, if ever, used this. Only for meetings with The Luna. I slipped in and memorized the rooms months ago. I thought I knew their schedules; I was pretty sure they were training. I knew that I was being reckl
The Alpha Assassin Chapter 25
Shock rippled through me, rooting me to the spot. I had to be wrong, but I knew, I knew I wasn’t. Logic fought with my emotions, nothing made sense, and I was abruptly pulled back to that dark place where only pain and confusion existed. My fiery anger was quelled completely by grief. We have to go - My wolf sounded far away, but she was right.Just start walking - She pleaded. Did I not? I looked down, and my feet were still rooted to the dark fraying carpet. I swallowed and forced them to move. They felt heavy and wouldn’t do what I wanted. I didn’t walk away, I broke into a run, and I couldn’t stop.I ran down the stairs, through the front hall, and out the front door I hadn’t used in Goddess knew how long. I didn’t know if I passed anyone. I didn’t care how I looked. My mask shattered completely, and I left it on the floor of the hallway outside that office. I ran into the woods, brambles tugged at my dress, and my hair ripped through twigs. I wished I could have felt any of th
