I had been retired for over fifteen years, but the last few months made me feel like a young pup again. I stopped by my own apartment, showering, and packing a bag for my hunt. While Beta has told my old friend the she-wolf didn’t look like she was being coerced, I had to work under the assumption that she may have left under threat. Being prepared for anything was rule number one of being an assassin. Satisfied that I had all my bases covered, every possible tool I would need that was still light enough to carry, I zipped my duffle and loaded into the car.

​But high above the basin, along the jagged ridges where the twisted oaks met the solid rock cliffs, the silence was broken by the faint, metallic click of a crossbow being loaded. ​"Target area is secure," a harsh, human voice whispered into the darkness. The speaker was clad in camouflaged leather that absorbed the ambient violet light of the valley. A heavy cloth mask covered his face, leaving only two cold, calculating eyes visible.

The beasts don't know we're here." ​"Find the girl," another assassin murmured from behind a boulder, adjusting the sights on his silver-tipped rifle. "The client said she has no predatory au

She had seen Caleb many times on television as the MD, but Cassian Holt was a different story altogether. Cassian Holt was a name that sparked both fear and admiration in the business world. Known for his unmatched influence and ruthless efficiency, he earned the title of an assassin for his precise and cold approach to eliminating obstacles. No one had ever seen his face—his true identity was a complete mystery. This secrecy only added to his fearsome reputation, making him a shadowy figure whose mere mention could unsettle even the most confident. Those who crossed him or fell into his web of influence often faced severe, unseen consequences.

Above the loading bay, the turrets stuttered to a halt as the localized signal died. "Target acquired," the lead Weaver’s voice buzzed, mechanically filtered. "The Anomaly is exposed. Engage active camouflage. Shred the vanguard. Leave the boy for the harvest." The assassins tapped the sides of their void-black armor. The air around them rippled, bending the light with violent force. The edges of their bodies blurred and folded inward, replaced by the unbroken image of the concrete wall behind them. They vanished. A massive, half-starved rogue lunged blindly forward. An invisible blade caught its throat. Arterial spray painted the empty air, briefly outlining the contour of a Weaver's forear

Not guardian wolves. Not sanctuary soldiers. Hunters. Kael’s face hardened instantly. “They found us already.” Three armed wolves appeared at the far end of the corridor seconds later, emerging from the shadows with frightening coordination. Their armor carried no official pack markings, but silver-black symbols covered their weapons. Assassins. And the moment they saw Aria— They attacked immediately. Kael moved first. His dagger flashed across the corridor fast enough to bury itself directly into the lead assassin’s throat while the second attacker lunged toward Aria with silver-coated claws.

He thought, ‘If you dare to block my way, you have to be prepared to get hurt. After a brief moment, all of them entered the villa and went straight to the point. After introducing Sky’s identity, Anna said, “Since Michelle Yowell is so close to you now, she must have told you about Divine Constabulary, right? So I’ll just make this quick. The man you just killed is an international assassin that we have been tracking down for ages.

╔═━─────━▒ Cassius ▒━─────━═╝ A sour taste settled in my mouth. The dark hive. I knew that group well. They were an organization of notorious rogue assassins with a blood red streak for carrying out all sorts of assignments as long as they were paid the appropriate amount, from assassination to plundering to kidnapping and trafficking. They did it all—the worst kind of scums. And this guy was one of them. The mark on his dislodged left shoulder confirmed that.

“There’s a traitor inside the wards.” Another arrow flew. This one hit the table leg, splitting the carved wood. Lyra flinched. “You think?” Despite everything, his mouth almost curved. Then a figure moved in the darkness near the broken windows. Silent. Fast. Black cloak. Silver blade. The assassin vaulted through the frame with impossible grace. Cassian was already moving. He drew the dagger hidden beneath his coat and met the strike midair. Steel clashed. Sparks burst in the dark.

Third POV " Oh , it's because privacy is very important for assassins. They can't disclose their identities to anyone. But believe me, my captains are talented in every field," Brendon replied sarcastically. " Proceed with your introduction quickly," Brendon says and the next one gets up. " I'm an assassin too, I'm called a blood hunter." Another female captain, she was brunette with a slim figure, the trained body of assassins for escaping and running away. " I'm a Sniper, my codename is Blossom."
