บททั้งหมดของ The Assassin's Mate: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

SeleneI kept my eyes on the ground as we were led into the large hall. There were a half dozen of us chained together at our ankles, all dressed in under bust corsets that pushed our exposed breasts high and thin material fashioned around our waist as a skirt that exposed just a hint of our most sensitive parts. We were the product, the wolves that filled the room the consumer. I risked a quick glance around and saw a raised platform where my target sat.            He had a dangerous aura about him and looks that would turn any woman to putty. I felt a slickness between my thighs as we were led closer to the table. My body responded to the power and appeal of a literal ‘bad boy’. I knew I wanted to fuck him before I killed him, I held no moral qualms abo

LucasI shook my head, clearing away the image of the enraged King’s face. I had turned down his offer to marry his daughter in exchange for my pack lands being brought under his rule. My pack had thrived just outside of the kingdom’s border, quickly becoming one of the strongest in existence. We didn’t need a King’s protection and I didn’t want a chosen mate; I wanted the one the moon goddess had created just for me.            “Zane, make sure things are set for us to shift our business interests elsewhere.” I told my Beta. “I expect the King will hit us with an embargo and border closures.”      

I needed information and a way in. If the Alpha wasn’t staying in his own home, odds were he would be at the pack house. My best shot at getting to him was to find a warrior to take me home. I quickly searched through my toolkit for the truth serum we carried when we needed a subtle way to gain information. I tucked it into my handbag before securing a vial of pheromones that would send any unmated male panting after me into my bra. Satisfied the vials were secure, I slipped into my tightest little black dress and heels. A quick glance at myself in the mirror told me I looked like sex on legs.            I made my way downtown, looking for any bar that had the tale-tell signs of bei

LucasI woke up feeling as if my entire world had fallen into place. I had found my mate and we had completed the bond during the previous nights haze. I smiled, rolling over to pull her to my, only to find the bed empty where she had lain the night before. I sniffed the air, hoping her scent would lead me to her in another part of my house. Instead, it led me to the front door. She had slipped out before I had awoken.            ‘Why would our mate abandon us?’ My wolf, Hades whined in my mind.            ‘She’s not just a wolf, Hades, she’s a woman. She probably had shit to take care of’

LucasI physically recoiled as my mate forced our link closed. Hades whimpered at the rejection. We had felt her wolf’s joy at hearing my voice, but we had also felt the anger coming from her human side. This was going to be trickier than I had anticipated. We knew very little about the assassin’s guild. They were rumored to reject their mates and live solitary lives, but a mate could only be rejected before the marking. It had given me hope that my mate would accept our bond and we could work out the nasty business of me having been a target. It didn’t make sense that the moon goddess would pair me with someone so unwilling to accept our bond.I had to fight the urge to check in with Zane to see how far he had gotten on my order to find me a way across the border undetected. I was going after my mate, whether she wanted me or not. I had fu
