Re:zero Assassin Novels & Stories

I looked at Zero who did the final strike. “First rule in assassinating. Look for the perfect chance to strike. You shouldn't have gotten distracted.” Yes, he was right. I was distracted. My vision became blurry as it closed. My wolf figure shifted back to human. As I laid there naked, lying on the ground. I could hear a low thud hit the ground, then a hand. That hand, it's… soft, and… gentle. I sunk into unconsciousness, leaving my life into fate's hands.

And highly illegal. The smudge elongated. Solidifying into a thin, wiry frame clad in matte-black fiber. The assassin didn't make a sound. He didn't even have a scent. He held a jagged sliver of obsidian—a Null-blade, designed to bypass Barzil-armor and sever the spinal cord of a sleeping target. He reached for the door handle. The fool. He was risking execution to kill a girl who wasn't even there. I moved. I didn't roar. I didn't announce my presence. I simply detached myself from the wall and became the crushing weight of the world.

The two of us would know how to keep Nina quiet tonight, but until we were sure that we could see her, things would be a little complicated. “Ezio, you are supposed to be on a bedrest” I said, pushing my mate back to lay down. Ezio chuckled, shaking his head at me before he leaned in to kiss my lips. Ryker has given him the night to rest after he saw Nina attacking and almost killing him. Had it not been for the Alpha, the Ancient Assassin who trained us would have killed my mate, and she would have done it mercilessly.

I retorted. “There are many ways to kill. Brute force doesn’t equate to all of them, not even many. Death was my job, and I found it worked best when you had the element of surprise. Assassins prefer a silent, clean kill. Blood and gore is extra.” He tried a smile, but his eyes were far away and hollow.

The assassin trainees are practicing shooting, most of them are very good in hitting the target's head but little Mayari is having a hard time. She couldn't shoot properly and always miss, the very loud noises of guns being fired is making her head ache painfully and her shaking body couldn't cooperate with her as the memory of her mother being shot dead repeatedly flashed to her mind, scaring her every second she heard a gunshot. She slowly placed her trembling finger in the trigger attempting to hit the target again, regardless of how terrified she is because the punishment she will recieve later will be more painful and dreadful.

For the first time, my pretty mate was obeying without arguing. "Aslan, which of our warriors is in the security room?"I asked my beta through the mind link and after a moment of silence, I finally heard him answer: "NO one. A few minutes ago, you sent someone to call for the gamma on duty and he came to ask me where you could be. At first, I wondered why you would have called him but then, I had work so I simply told him I didn't know had a small and he left together with Rosa"

In the private room with her, I could see her whole body trembling when I touched her like she hadn’t been touched in years. Just as she was about to press the drink to her lips, my handler, Silas, spoke to me through my AirPods to pause the mission I immediately took the glass from her and poured the contents over my chest, and she thought it was part of the act, not knowing she almost drank herself to her own death. Just in case Silas needed me to complete the job subsequently, I left a card with my number on it and with how harsh her breathing was and the desire in her eyes, I doubted it would go unused

“Let me tell you the truth–” Zero grabbed his hand and snapped his wrist backwards. He released it just before he could break it. Then, he allowing his aura to burst forth, revealing his rank. “I am Alpha Zero of the Azure Pack, and the king’s cousin. I’ll not warn you twice. Disrespect the king’s guard one more time and you’ll no longer be treated like a guest.” Realising the gravity of Devon’s mistake, Allison quickly stepped forward and held Devon’s arm. “We are sorry, it was a misunderstanding,” she apologised to Zero. “We did not mean to cause any trouble.”

She truly believed she was the hero of this story. She turned her cold, dispassionate gaze to my brother. “Subject Zero,” she said, her voice calm and even. “Your first mission. Eliminate the intruders.” Cassian stood up from the pod. He moved with a grace and a speed that was not human. In one fluid motion, he was on the floor, and in the next, he was moving towards me. He did not fight like a man. He fought like a machine, with perfect, deadly efficiency, his face completely devoid of emotion.

I would suit its back but time is not on my side. His glass door reveals he is neither in his ambiently lit kitchen nor his living room, but the security men from earlier at least denotes he is home and that is all that matters. Tucking my gun in its holster, I proceed to unlock the door with a central key. To become an assassin, you have to learn to pay more attention to details than even a forensic analyst. His door made not even a creak the last time I was here and now it is like I did not touch the door.
