Assassin Blood

Chapter 5- This Can't be real

Pov: Azalea

“Mate” It's only one word, but that one word still echos in my mind. The Alpha of the Levada pack and I just stared at each other in the eyes. While I have the chance to look at him, I notice how handsome my mate is. He had dark slick back hair, his body was ripped with muscles all glistening with sweat, his eyes were a beautiful shade of dark hazel brown, they looked like night itself. He was truly a magnificent powerful beast, sexy, and completely mine. I know I can’t be with him, my life is very secretive and not very fitting to be no packs future luna. Don’t get me wrong, my mate would be lucky to have me, I would make an amazing badass luna, but my life is too crossed up in secrecy and blood to bring into my mate’s life and his entire pack. I am very surprised that my mate is an Alpha and of a very powerful and influential pack. I know I am a pretty bad*ss b*tch but I didn’t expect the moon goddess to bless me this well, and I can’t even accept her gift. I knew I had to meet my mate someday, but I was still dreading this day. I feel like it would kill me to reject him, even though that’s what I and Ace planned to do for this situation, so I think it would be easier for the both of us if I just gonna knock him out and escape. The best thing to do is go home and collect my thoughts and discuss with Ace the next steps, but first I’m gonna have to kick my mate ass. I start to change into my beautiful white wolf, I start to hear Chenel speak as I fully transformed “ I want to be with my mate so badly, but I know it's important for us to win this fight” she says with so much pain in her voice. It hurts me to hear her sad, I know it’s hard for her to fight our mate, but she understands it’s necessary to protect our brother.” I understand her pain though, I also desire our mate but it is only because of this stupid mate bond, and well him being a literal perfect male sculpture. I never was interested in the whole mate thing anyway, and I don’t think I can even love an Alpha with everything I’ve been through with Ace’s past. All Alpha’s can burn for eternity for all I care, and my mate can do the same because he is one of them. When I looked back at my mate, he fully changed into his dark brown wolf, he looked completely unphased by my defensive approach and has a stance that signals he is waiting for me to attack. I give a low growl and reach to attack him first, I can’t seem weak to him, I know she-wolves are less strong than male wolves especially Alpha’s, but I was a trained Assassin and I’m his mate so if any she-wolf stands a chance against him, it would be me, I know he wants me to submit to him, it’s just a Male wolf dominant nature, which is increased by him being an Alpha. I know this but still, I won’t submit to him, I know I’m being a little too rough with my attacks but he is bigger, stronger, and faster than me in wolf form so if I rest for a second he will gain the upper hand. Just as I feared he quickly took control of the situation and kicked me off of him. I can’t give up no matter what, I never lost a fight in my life and I don’t plan on losing one today, so I tackle him and we go tumbling down a hill in a force battle for dominance. He pins me to the floor growling, showing his teeth, which is a sign to submit. I can clearly see the difference in our powers and I know I was going to lose, Chanel growled in my head she knew that fact too, but she hated to admit it, even to me. That’s why her words suprised me “We’ve got to submit Azalea” I wanted to protest, but I know she is right so reluctantly I agree, I hesitantly showed my neck to my mate, which is a sign of surrender, I have never felt so humiliated in my life, but I was not going to win this fight, not yet at least. He turned back into his human form, and someone gave him his clothes but not before I got a glimpse of all this beautiful creature in his glory. He gives me a look that signals for me to change back into my human form. I might have lost, but I did not lose my mind, I know that if I find my mate I’m supposed to go back home and wait for Ace to decide what to do next, and looking at this current situation we will probably relocate again which sucks cause I was getting pretty close to Aunt Clara and Uncle Nick and all my friends, and I know Ace is gonna be pretty devasted because he was finally getting a chance to be normal and now my stupid mate is gonna take it away from him, this pisses me off I really wanted him to finally be happy. I got up from the floor still in my wolf form and ran as fast as I could away from my mate without looking back. I could hear the growl of other wolves behind me, but I can tell none of them is my mate. I hurry out of the forest dodging cars that keep honking at me. I am very lucky this is a very secluded town with only werewolves in it because a bunch of humans would freak if they saw a wolf just running through their traffic on a beautiful Monday morning. I ran straight home which took about 12 minutes and I changed back into human form as soon as I reached my front door. I know Aunt Clara and Uncle Nick are not home so coming home from school early and naked doesn’t matter. I open the door planning to see a clean empty house and to have the rest of the day to relax, grab a bite of food, and chill in my room. But instead of getting to relax and destress, I am greeted with the worried face of my brother pacing back and forth. There was no way he could have found out about me finding out about my mate this soon, this must be something else that’s wrong. He stopped pacing when he noticed me. With a still worried expression on his face, he spoke up with a serious tone” We need to talk”.

Pov: Ace

My heartbeat is beating out of my chest as I’m driving like a crazy person on the road, trying to reach home as fast as I can. I just can’t believe this is happening. I found my mate, and he is an Alpha. I never thought I would even have a mate. Gay werewolves normally don’t get a mate, they just end up with other unmated gay werewolves, or even sometimes humans. There are only small cases in history where two male werewolves mate, but that is very rare and hasn’t been seen in a long time. But to think this would happen to me out of all people, I feel so blessed by the moon goddess, but I know I can’t accept him, besides he would reject me so it doesn't even make sense I worry about it. I glance at my phone that is buzzing out of the seat. It is probably Jennifer and Kianna trying to talk about what just happened. I can’t even properly process all that’s happened. I’m going to lose everything I tried so hard to build, all my friends, Aunt Clara, and Uncle Nick. I just wanted a plain simple peaceful life, is that too much to ask for. I scream in frustration “Why do bad things always happen to me? Am I cursed or something? I get even more riled up when another car starts honking at me. I roll down my window and give the driver the middle finger and angrily shout “ go f*ck yourself” I roll the window back up again and then sped up faster as if I was the only person on the road. I continued this reckless streak until I reached all the way to the house. I opened the door with force and slam it shut and went immediately to jump on the couch, I buried my head in the couch and screamed till I had no breath left in me, I got up, turned around, and headed to the fridge, I rummaged the fridge searching for a bottle of some beer to drink, I found a bottle of corona, Uncle Nick favorite thing to drink, he says its the only energy drink he needs. I chugged the entire bottle in a couple of gulps and then I went back to throw myself on the couch. I lay there for a while trying to clear my head and think happy thoughts, but only images of us running from this pack floods my mind and I hastily get up and I can barely think straight, I feel my anxiety acting up and I feel as if I’m going to have a panic attack. I start pacing back and forth my brain is flooded with all sorts of negative thoughts filling my head, I just don’t know how this can happen, me having a mate, and an Alpha at that. What is Aleaza gonna think, I don’t know what she will think but I know how she will react, she is gonna freak the f*ck out, she is way too dramatic and would go confront him, and if she did I would die of embarrassment, and then I will haunt her crazy ass for the rest of her damn life. I just don’t know what suppose to do., moon goddess please help me. I hear someone open the door which takes me out of my thoughts. Maybe it’s Aunt Clara and Uncle Nick back from running their errands, I turn around to see a very sad-looking Aleaza staring at me. I sigh, oh boy I hope she’s not in a bad mood, it wit will make the news I have to tell her harder to say, well I just got to do it before I lose courage, ‘’we need to talk” I said trying to sound as serious as possible, she looks me in the eye looking unconcerned “ It can wait, I need to tell you something really important” she said trying to dismiss me, I scoff at her rudeness, what is up with her, I know her news is definitely not as important as mine “ Azalea” I say trying to recaptuer her attention “I found my mate and he is an Alpha, and we need to leave befor ehe finds me” Azalea looked shocked upon the news but she Just put on a pained smile on her face” I guess we both have the same problem, that must be the twin energy in effect” I open my mouth in shock, she doesn’t need to say anything else, I can see it in her eyes, she met her mate and it did not go well. Now I’m pissed off, she looks hurt, and this would have been easier if it was me that was hurting, I’m used to that, but when it’s my sister I’m not used to her being in pain. I grab her into a hug which she reciprocates. When we part ways, I run my hand through my hair and groan “ when do we have to leave’’ I ask frustrated, she sighs “ we got to leave now” I rolled my eyes even and sigh even though I suspected we were going to have to leave straight away, I walk slowly upstairs trying to prolong our time here, I turn back to look at Aleaza, who was just standing still with a pain stain face, she looks so sad like she wants to cry, but is trying to hold it in to be strong I never saw Aleaza like this, well at least not in a long while “ Let’s go pack, I want to leave before Aunt Clara and Uncle come home” she says but still looks sad as she started to come up the stairs. When we reached our rooms we dumbed all our clothes out of our drawers and we stuffed them into our suitcases. Some of our stuff we didn’t even get a chance to unpack, and we didn’t even bother folding tour clothes to put back in the suitcases. We both finished packing at the same time and then hurried down the stairs, Aleaza slid down the railing as usual. She knows it’s gonna be her last time so she wants to enjoy it. When she reaches the bottom of the stairs she bolts out of the door as if she is trying to l leave before she changes her mind, but when I reach down the stairs all I can do is stand at the front doorway, my body feels like a volcano all heated up and ready to explode, but I just can’t seem to put my foot out the door. I can’t help myself my eyes start to feel heavy and I Hust can’t hold them anymore, I just let go of all my frustrations, my worries, and my stress and start to cry as if the world is ending, “just great” I say in between sobs, “now I’m crying at the doorway like a baby”. Azalea saw me all the way from the car she looked me dead in the eyes with a serious face and marched towards me.I almost forgot, she is going through the same thing as me, and I'm here acting like I have all the problems in the world when she is going through the same thing as me. She came face to face with me, looking me directly in the eyes. I thought she was gonna yell at me to snap out of it, but instead, she grabbed me and pulled me into a hug “ it’s gonna be ok Ace, you have me” she say calmly trying to comfort me, I forgot how much I use to depended on her, I don’t think, I have ever even thanked her. I look her into the eyes, which sparkled with love” Thank you for being the only one that loves me.” She smiles without saying a word, she then pulls me out the door “ come on if we have each other everything will be oK."
