How Does 'Five Broken Blades' End For Each Assassin?

“Tell me you hate me,” Cassian whispered, his mouth close enough to make my body betray every thought in my head. I should have shoved the dagger into his heart. That was what I had been trained for. That was why Aurelia sent me to Alpha Academy. But Kael’s hand was on my waist, cold and possessive, his golden eyes burning into mine like he already knew every lie I carried beneath my skin. “You were sent here for a reason, little human,” Kael said. “The question is… was it to kill us, or belong to us?” ⸻ Lyra was raised in Aurelia, the last human stronghold, where werewolves were enemies and mercy got people killed. Her mission was simple: enter Alpha Academy, get close to the powerful werewolf heirs, and kill them before they inherited the packs threatening her people. Rowan, her best friend and the only person who truly knows her, is the one thing keeping her tied to the life she came from. But the Blood Moon Marking changes everything. Lyra is dragged into the ritual and bound to the very heirs she was sent to destroy. Kael, the cold Snow Pack heir, sees through every lie. Cassian, the dangerous Arrow Pack heir, tempts her toward every wrong choice. And Rowan refuses to let the wolves take the girl who was his before fate sank its claws into her. Now Lyra is trapped between duty, desire, loyalty, and a bond that should never have existed. If she chooses her mission, she may have to destroy the men fate tied her to. If she chooses the bond, she may betray the only home she has ever known. And when her truth comes out, will they protect her… Or turn on the assassin sent to end them?

I’m trained to do one thing: kill. I was put into a school where the concepts of love and forgiveness were treated as weaknesses. When I graduated, they told me I’d be lucky to survive; now I’m the best of the best and the person who gets the job done no matter what. I’ve assassinated Presidents, housewives, Navy SEALS and more shifters than I can count. I have more kills than anyone in my business, so when a new order comes in to kill Alpha Gideon, I take it without a second thought. ​He’s a job like any other, but during my scouting, I see something I’ve never seen before. Alpha Gideon isn’t a tyrant or a bully; he’s kind to his Pack. I start asking questions, which is when everything goes to shit. My signal is found, and for the first time in my life, my target has me in his sights. I expect pain and maybe even death, but Alpha Gideon treats me like a welcomed guest; his warmth and kindness open up something inside of me that I didn’t know I had. I should kill him before he changes me completely. I tell him I’m cold and heartless, and he laughs. Loving a mark has never been done, but no matter what I do, every touch sets me on fire and with each longing glance, my past becomes a distant memory. I’m ready to put everything I was aside to stay with Alpha Gideon when the call comes in; my fellow assassins have been called. The bounty on Alpha Gideon has been doubled. I have two choices: protect the man who has opened up my heart or kill the target and get the job done.
