All Chapters of The Assassin and Her Alpha Mates: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

As we enter the office, I look around in awe. The first thing I noticed was the high ceilings and the impressive library with floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with all kinds of books. The shelves are a beautiful dark oak color that matches the rest of the room’s furnishings.Close to the door are black leather couches with a coffee table in the same dark oak color as the bookshelves. As you walk past the couches, there are five dark oak desks. There is one directly in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows that let in a lot of natural light. There is nothing on it but a computer and lamp. Then on either side of the desk in front of the window, there are two desks on each side. They all have different styles, but they are all in the same dark oak color, making them similar yet unique.I sit on one of the single black leather chairs at the head of the arranged couches. While Zane and Dean sit on a couch to my right and Luke and Jason sit on a couch to my left.“No joke, I am kicking

Max’s POVAfter I finished eating, I asked where I could take a shower, since the bathroom in my room was being remodeled. The closet had me forgetting all about wanting to take a shower, though.“Sure, you can use the shower in the shared room,” Luke said, leading the way.“Why do you call it the shared room?” I asked. Amelia had called it that when we were paralyzed.“All five of us have our own rooms if we want to be alone,” Luke explained. “Then we have a shared room, so if we want to sleep together, we can. It helps with bonding between mates.”“Or brothers,” I stated with a chuckle, and Luke smiled.The shared room was right next to mine. It was the same one I’d slept in when I woke up from being paralyzed. So, the room I’d just slept in earlier, the one they called the Luna’s room, was where they put me when they rescued me from the wolves.Luke led me to the bathroom and explained how everything worked. It was one of those smart showers, all electronic. After he finished, he l

When we got to the room, it was about 8 am, and my stomach was growling, but I needed a shower first. I went to the shower and turned on the water before stripping down. I left the door open on purpose, letting them know it was an open invitation. I got in, and the water was heaven. I let out a moan.Not going to lie, I'm going to feel it in my legs tomorrow. I pushed myself a little too hard with that unspoken challenge during the warm-up.I went to grab the shampoo, but it was taken out of my hands. I turned and saw all of my mates in the shower with me. I smiled and stepped in between all of them, and they all had their hands on me in an instant.Dean was the one who took the shampoo. He began to wash my hair. Meanwhile, Zane took the soap before they started passing it around.Zane put one hand on my lower back and the other on my stomach. He started at the bottom and worked his way up. While Jason was lathering my right leg and Luke my left, starting at my feet. They each slowly

Jason showed me the pack house. I carried out my plans of payback. When it was only us, I would take the lead and sway my hips or stand in a way that I knew drove him crazy. When he reached out, I'd move on, pretending like I didn't know what he wanted, earning me a growl each time.When we got closer to people, I'd make provocative comments, then turn around and keep walking. I would smile because we were too close to people, and there was nothing he could do.Jason talked throughout the tour while showing me each room. He started with the basement first. "There are four floors. The basement has extracurricular activities."He led me downstairs, which opened up into a sitting area in the middle. He pointed out as he talked. "To the left is a full entertainment theatre area for movies or plays." He led me to the left of the sitting area, "Through here is a massive gym with all sorts of workout equipment that you are free to use whenever you want. In the large area, we lined it with ma

"Cadet Summers, you're late," I say, pissed that he wasted my time like that. He is 35 minutes late.Luke linked me when he saw Summers walking around with his friends outside the kitchen. He asked him if he had somewhere to be, and Summers had the audacity to say that he thought my training was a joke.Summers scowls, his defiance clear in his stance. “I’m only here because Alpha Luke ordered me to listen to you. I’ll admit—you know how to fight, and I respect that. But I don’t know you. You walk in expecting respect just because you’re the Luna. Respect isn’t handed out—it’s earned.”I tilt my head slightly, my voice steady, unruffled. “Fair enough. Then tell me—why do you expect the pack to respect you?”He opens his mouth, but I continue before he can interrupt, my tone even but firm. “Is it because you’re training to be a warrior? Does that automatically make you deserving? You demand respect from your packmates, yet you’ve done nothing to earn it. In fact, the way you speak abou
