JADE POVThe first strike of lightning rented the sky, its light illuminating the dark, ghostly hunting ground as the thunder rumbled violently in the troubled sky. The trees howled out their pain as the winds rippled through their branches, the sound of it like the wail of a dying animal.I grinned. This was going to be a thrilling night indeed. I stalked toward my prey, the sound of his haggard breathing drawing me in like a magnet. He thought he could escape me, but he was wrong. No traitor got away from Jade Alvarez. I adjusted the bow I held, the arrow already in place as I inched closer while my prey was none the wiser.The weapon I wielded was not the one I preferred, but my step-siblings had gotten their hands on all the automatic weapons before I could. It didn't matter. I'd finish my task before they had a chance to, if they could since I already put my signature on their kill, after putting an arrow in the middle of their eye sockets.They never stood a chance, and neither

JADE POV"Yes! Like that! Oh, fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Ryland high pitched moan carried through the corridors and I winced in embarrassment for him because the maid he was railing wasn't even making that much noise.I pushed the door open and he scrambled off her so fast that I had to look behind me to see if wild animals were coming behind me."Don't you know how to fucking knock" he glared, as he scrambled to get a robe to cover his unimpressive man part, while the girl tried to become invisible on the bed? What a fucking shit show. I smirked at him. "You were squealing like a little girl, I just had to check if you were dying or something"."Fuck you!"."I'd rather not Ryland." I deadpan and he simmered. It was fun to get under his skin, especially since I knew it'd always been a fantasy of his to fuck me. It was never going to happen and he knew it too. He was just a pervert who didn't know when to stop trying."What do you want?" He asked, his voice sourer than lime.I glanced at the

JADE POVFrom the corner of my eyes, I could see Marion signal Ryland. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up in dread. Marion was a fucking bastard.But It came as no surprise, I'd been feeling a bit skeptical about the whole meeting since I heard about the exchange. I had also underestimated Ryland and this was what it led to. He'd been suspicious on different occasions but I'd been so busy with my father's test that I had paid him no mind. Big fucking mistake.Marion reached for his gun and I grabbed one of his men closest to me, and in time too because he was suddenly firing at me and in such close range that the bullet went through the man I was using as my shield and grazed my skin. The soldiers started firing at each other as I pulled out my gun, aiming at the man that tried to kill me after countless years of doing business together. I fired two times, but he managed to duck out of the way in time. Pushing the dead body off me, I fired sporadically and ran into the

Stabbing the big burly grey wolf was definitely a mistake, one I didn't quite think through before I went ahead with it. The animal's full attention was on me, and I took a step back as it stalked toward me, its bright glowing golden eyes holding mine captive. Its fangs were terrifying as it snarled, and the sound of it rumbled through my skin, causing goosebumps to trail up my spine, even though I tried to project no fear. Was this even real, there was no way that a normal wolf was this big. Was this the feral breed of wildlife they were talking about? This was not how I envisioned spending my night. Fighting crappy humans who took me for a damsel in distress? Yes. Fighting a big bad wolf who could rip me to shreds in one bite? A capital NO. My life could not end like this. If I got out of this mess, Ryland was going to pay. He was going to pay with his fucking life. The wolf took another step in my direction, teeth snapping, his mane of grey soft hair standing to attention as it

JADE POV.His eyes were dark as death. That was the first thing I noticed as he slammed me into him, his rigid muscles rippling against my skin, the proximity unfamiliar.Blood dripped from the cut where he held the sharp pointed metal that I'd have used to end his life. He'd known exactly where I was going to attack from and I found it uncanny since I was perfect in silently waiting for my prey and attacking swiftly before they even had a chance to defend themselves. Most of them never even saw my face before they died, all they saw was the flash of my blade, so as I stared at the mountain of a man, who I had to admit was even more ruggedly handsome under the glow of the dimly lighted chandeliers, his eyes being the most captivating of his features-they promised heaven and hell all at a glance, I didn't know what to make of him. "That was not a very nice move to make" he murmured, his voice a dark rumble that sent tingles sprinting down my spine.Fuck him. "We should start over. I p
