All Chapters of Alpha's Assassin: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

I can’t focus on anything; I need to sort out the mill and the farms, but all I can think about is the way Elle shook when she came and the way she tried not to whisper my name, but it came out anyway. I only meant to comfort her, her screams dragged me from sleep and the story fell from my lips before I realised what I was saying. I’ve heard it so many times when I was young that I think it was natural for me to repeat it when I saw someone in pain. Something changed though and before I knew it, I was using the darkness to cover my desires. I acted like a pup pretending that because there were no lights, no one would ever know what happened in that little bed. I should be ashamed of myself; I should fall to my knees and apologise to Elle until I’m hoarse but I can’t because I know when the moon rises I’ll be right back beside her, taking what I want without question. “Alpha, you wanted to see me.” I look up from the paperwork I wasn’t even seeing to see Lexie standing in my office do

I know where the shooter is because it's exactly where I would perch myself; Gideon will be confused, but I knew this was coming as soon as I saw Octavia’s computer. The Pack is still alive; the Pack still stands and no one has been killed so it's only natural that the Academy would send someone else. The situation has not yet reached a dire level, so the Judge is still being kept at bay. This means the woman in the woods is from the Academy, but she is not as good as I am. “You need to keep the wolves back; I know who it is and she’s a decent shot, if she misses the first time, she won’t on the second.” I hiss softly at Dutton as I crouch behind a tree; I’ve seen the glint of her scope at the top of the tallest tree. She’s picked that one to give her a clear view of the training grounds; taking out James and the other guy wouldn’t have been random. She had her reasons, and while watching the Pack, she deemed them the best first kills to draw out the Alpha. “Alpha shouldn’t be out h

“This is your Pack, you’re the Alpha and you make the call.” A small tear trickles down my cheek as I whisper the words; I think Gideon must see what it's costing me to say those words because he doesn’t push me any further. For a split second his thumb strokes across my jawbone, and then he’s gone. Without Gideon’s body holding me up, I slide down the tree and land in the dirt on my ass. I watch Gideon walk over to Mila, his ass flexing with every step he takes, he stops just a foot away from her and snarls. “Are you alright?” I look to my left to see the small redhead holding out her hand for me but I shake my head and nudge her away. I don’t need her kindness; I just need a minute to put my badass panties back on. Gideon has a way of stripping me raw and leaving me exposed; I barely know him yet he knows exactly what buttons to press and how long to hold on. “Mila of the Academy, you killed my Beta and Head Enforcer, you will die for your crimes.” Mila lets out a small whimper bu

“Brandon and that's my mate Julie and my Milo.” Brandon steps closer to me and places his hands on my shoulders; instantly I’m filled with a warmth that feels so nice, and a small sigh leaves my lips. “I was an enforcer before I met my mate; I know a few things about how confused the mind can become once you’ve taken enough lives. Are you questioning who you are or what you’ve done?” The door to the house closes, leaving me alone with Brandon in the dark. I can hear the bugs chirping and small creatures digging around for their food but the darkness surrounding us makes me feel more exposed than any of them. “I think you see a little too much, farmer.” I hiss at Brandon; he just squeezes my shoulders a little tighter and gives me a light shake. “Say it; once you say the words out loud, they become easier to handle.” Brandon slowly lets go of my shoulders and takes a step back until I can barely see him. I’m alone in the darkness and it feels like I could say anything and no one will

“I’m the last person you say that to, Alpha.” Brandon growls as he joins me at the table. “The Pack choose your family long before either of us were ever a thought, hell, before our parents were.” Brandon throws himself into one of the chairs and for a second it rocks, making me think it's going to crumble under his weight. “You’re an Alpha, the only one born in your generation. Your wolf is the fastest and strongest; you’ve been dealt some bad blows and I know they just seem to keep coming but the world has changed. It's not the world we closed the bunker doors on and it's not the one we opened them up to. You feel overwhelmed because you’ve never seen an Alpha fight for his Pack before. Your grandfather fought for land, yes but your father guided us through peace, there is no one to follow but you because only you can know how the world works now. James is gone and so is Marc; both were your father’s choice so now it's time to choose people to be by your side that can make you stron
