The Alpha Assassin

29

"No Clara.. Don't leave me, don't go how...don't... Leave me..please..don't go.."

"Liam, I am here am not leaving you, I am here" those were her words trying to soothe me

This is so great, wish I could be this ill forever.

"Over my living soul you i***t" Cole yelled making me open my eyes cause I was shocked.

"Oh thank goodness you are awake, I am so glad you are okay?"

"Clara is that... that you?"

"Yes liam its me"

"Please don't leave me again, I am sorry please forgive me"

"If you want my forgiveness then you'll have to do something for me"

"What is it?" I asked lazily

"Go take a hot bath"

"But I am too weak"

"Come on, I'll help you up let's go"

Reluctantly Liam held onto her shoulders and she took him to the bathroom and placed him in the bathtub. Helped him removed his shirt and ran a hot bath for him. Clara was about to go when he held her back and said

"Bath me Clara"

"Huh? You must got to be kidding me"

"Why would I do that? I am serious I still feel dizzy"

"Okay you choose, let's make a deal how about if you bath yourself while I move back into the room or I help you wash up but remain in my room downstairs"

Immediately Liam entered into the bathtub and Clara smiled went downstairs for a huge tray of breakfast cause she was kind of hungry she didn't take dinner last night.

After a while Liam knew she was back from where she went to and since he had taken his bath he intended for her to feed him until he was fill. So in order for that to happen he had to slip and broke a large mirror so as to make a loud noise. And to make his plan work he groaned loudly and this made Clara run into the bathroom saw him on the floor and blood streaming off his arms

"Oh no Liam what happened? Are you okay? Come on let's get you up out of here." He is so glad his plans worked out fine.

So he clung onto her with his bare chest this time, and Clara oblivious to what he was thinking took him to his bed and then ran down to tend to his wounds, not knowing he could heal quickly. So when she ran down for some bandage, he continued injuring that same place so that when she comes back she would see an injury opening.

She came running back to him and wrapped the bandage around the injury. Seeing how she cared for him made him happy. He wanted to lie down after that.

"No no Liam you are to take breakfast before going to bed"

"No don't bother I am okay thanks" But then his stomach growled showing he was lying.

"Your stomach says otherwise come on don't starve yourself sit up" Clara commanded and Liam sat right up.

Clara sat beside him and served him on his own plate so that he could eat.

But he said he can't right now. So Clara had no choice but to feed him, herself and this made Liam really happy. They ate quietly after which Clara said,

"Liam, I am sorry for the other day for calling you a monster and everything. It's just that he has been too much for me to take in, the fact that you called me your girlfriend took me off guard because you haven't officially asked me out yet so it took me by surprise that I lashed out and got angry at you. Am so sorry."

Chapter 22

Liam didn't say anything he was baffled on what to do cause it seems she wants to be asked out officially.

'So should I ask her officially then?' Such were Liam's thoughts.

Liam then said

"Clara please don't ever get mad at me like that again to the point you'll move out of our room, Please"

"But this is your room though that's why...?

"No its not, this is our room and this is our bed. Don't ever say that again okay?"

"Okay I better go downstairs to get my stuff and move in here can I go?"

"Fine, don't stay too long or I'll come get you myself"

"I won't okay, just relax and sleep you need to get better soon"

So he closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.

"Like seriously our plans worked out just fine am glad they are together now, just a while back I saw Clara carrying her box and headed to Liam's room. That's something good. Good job bro" Eric said happily to Gabe who was busy making fresh juice for himself.

"Good job to you too, now its time for plan two, we will have to wait till tomorrow for that cause if we plan it all at once it may back fire right on our faces"

"Haha my thoughts exactly how about we go to the training ground for some exercises let's see what you are made off"

"Come on I am just a wolf, though I am viewed as the one of strongest in the pack but I doubt if I can be a match for you in the there, you are a beta of course and am just a mere wolf"

"You'll never know unless you try. Come on let's go, you can only get stronger if you train diligently"

"So you are willing to be my sparring partner?"

"That's what am offering, but am not gonna take it easy with you out there, get prepared to get your ass beaten honey" Eric said winking at Gabe.

"Silly come on let's go"

They both left to the training ground, and trained rigorously till evening when they retired to their rooms to freshen up so as to focus on their next plans for tomorrow.

In the evening Liam woke up after sleeping for hours and found out it was evening. He looked around for Clara but she wasn't in the room, he got alerted and sat up right. He was about to come down in search for her when the door cringed open there she was, wearing a short and crop top, and made her hair nto two parts one on each side of her face, she looked like a cute puppy dressing like that. Liam then took a deep breath because she was still around. So he walked up to her and hugged her tightly,

"I thought you left again"

"Okay first off I can't breath, secondly I told you I wasn't going to leave and that am moving in. Look I already brought my suitcase in here"

"I thought it was a dream, thank you Clara." Liam said giving Clara a peck on her cheek.

This gesture took Clara by surprise so she was just blushing thinking about it.

Liam held her hands and took her to the balcony.

"Where did you go to?"

"Oh I actually went to the kitchen to get dinner for us, it wasn't ready yet so I came back upstairs."

"I want to talk to you about us Clara"

"I'll surely listen to you but first let's eat dinner first then you can tell me everything okay?"

"Okay"

"I am making some mashed potatoes so that you eat and get better. Hope you love them?"

"Sure I will eat anything you get me except fried eggs"

"Haha that would only make you sick once more"

They both laughed heartily that Gabe and Eric could hear the voices so this made them happy that they rushed out and saw them at the balcony. They were satisfied by the sight before them they decided not to plan anymore unless liam asked for their help. So they went back to their rooms to chat.

"Liam, Clara called out, I am truly sorry for what I did earlier"

"Come on its fine, you've already apologized am no longer mad at you okay?"

"Thanks, I better go check on the dinner downstairs before we find ourselves with some smashed tomatoes instead"

"Haha I am coming down with you"

"Come on let's go"

Liam held her hands and they both headed downstairs to the kitchen. The maids were dismissed earlier by Clara so they had a quiet time making dinner.

They put lots of food into the tray, it was dinnertime so they took them upstairs to their room.

And ate to their hearts content after which they talked about lots of things before they both showered, separately of course and went to bed.

Liam was truly glad that Clara was beside him on his bed so what he did was roll over close to her touched her hands and held her tight and then kissed her on her forehead and bid her good night by saying,

"My lady, my mate, my Luna Clara the most beautiful lady on my planet, I love you, goodnight my Angel"

"Good night Liam"

And with they slept off in each others arms.

~~~~~~

There she is smiling deeply with the maids in the kitchen and Liam couldn't help but admire her from afar, she is busy making breakfast for Liam.

"Hey you are to focus here we have a training to oversee young man" Eric came to disruptle Liam's thoughts.

"For goodness sake, Eric. This is why you have no girl friends"

"For now, I don't think I need to your Luna is enough for both of us"

"What?" Liam wanted to punch him for making such expensive joke then Clara came just in time to the scene.

"Stop that Alpha, that's your beta and he can say that why would you want to hit him cause of that?" Eric nodded thinking Clara was taking sides with him but he was totally wrong. She hit him on the stomach though it felt like a feather touch but it still hurt him that she chose the alpha over him

"Ouch, why would you choose him over me huh?" Eric asked with all seriousness

"Because he is my alpha and I his Luna you are our beta and my big brother so of course I choose him first" Clara said with all exuberance.

"Awwn now that's my Luna" Liam said grinning from ear to ear.

"That hurts" Eric said feigning sadness, but deep inside he was elated that the Luna to be considered him a brother. They all laughed at his funny expression.

"Clara why are you here?"

"Oh I brought some cold juice for my boys to enable them get on with their day while breakfast is getting ready"

"Awwn I am so touched Clara" Eric said taking a cup of juice from the tray.

"Why did you take one first before me I should be the one to take first" Liam said whining like some kid

"Oh you don't want yours? I could take it as well my body needs more you see"

Liam shot him a dead look and he almost gasped on his drink everyone couldn't stop laughing at him Liam inclusive.

"Okay boys, I will leave you guys to it when breakfast is ready will come get you guys" she turned to leave but Liam held her back saying,

"Aren't you forgetting something very important my precious Luna?"

"Hmm not so sure Alpha"

"A kiss of course"

"Is it you talking or Cole?

"Me of course"

"Sorry since its not Cole, just take this instead" Clara said and gave him a Peck and then ran off.

Seeing her run off like that, made him smile, cause she is still shy to show off public affection.

Wondering how they became so smoochy all of a sudden? Let's go back to a week earlier when they had the argument.

"I want to talk to you about us Clara"

"I'll surely listen to you but first let's eat dinner first then you can tell me everything okay?"

After dinner after they took their bath that night.

They sat to talk for a long time

Liam spoke to Clara and they both saw some loopholes in their thoughts

"Liam don't look at me like that, talk to me am listening to you"

"Clara I love you"

"I love you too"

"Then why are you making it hard for me to love you?"

"Because its hard for me to trust you"

"Why dear, just open up to me please clara" Liam pleaded

"Because Liam I am a sensitive person and you hurt me beyond words."

"When? But I said am sorry"

"I know I just, don't know why it feels so hard to forget about it"

"Babe let's not dwell on the past, if we keep looking at the past we'll never move on"

"Yeah, I know"

"Clara Cooper, I love you beyond words you know that right?"

"Unfortunately I do"

"Haha fine just know that I care about you a lot and that you are my happiness. So let's do this how about we start all anew?"

"No I don't want to start anew, let's start from where we are but take it slowly"

"Okay that would be great, cause I want to show you all of me really soon"

"That would be wonderful, how about we wait until you ask me out officially and then introduce me to your pack that am your Luna to be"

"Wow!! Really? You want to be named that? Are you sure you will be comfortable?"

"You wanted us to forget the past isn't it?"

"Yeah I mean yeah of course more than anything"

"So let's do that, let's be official but we can only be that when you ask me out officially so it all depends on you Alpha"

"Woah!!! Okay sure prepare for it" Lian said getting on his knee

"What do you think you are doing kneeling down in our room and asking me out?"

"I thought you said ask you out officially and I want to do that right away"

"Haha so old fashioned, anyways until you ask me out officially don't even think of calling me your Luna"

Clara said and went to bed immediately, Alpha Liam followed and slept close to her because he now knows she is in love with him so he isn't going to do anything to jeopardize that.

But to be honest he can't stop calling her his Luna so to bid her goodnight he said holding on to her,

"Goodnight my angel"

Clara is so happy he calls her his angel but just like she said until he asks her out officially she won't call him any pet names.

"Good night Liam"

After which they held tightly to each other, and they each slept off in each others arms.

The next day Liam ran down to Eric and Gabe to discuss about this issue of asking a girl out officially so they began bringing suggestions,

"How about you create a romantic gesture to prove how much you love her?" Gabe said

"Nah that won't do, you can only create a romantic gesture when the person you are doing it for is ready to be swayed by your romantic stuff." Eric tackled him

"So guys what do you suggest I do then?" Liam asked with all manner of confusion cause he doesn't want to ruin this chance given to him.

"The only thing I suggest you do is take her out of this world, your world and bring her to where she is used to, get on your damn knees and propose to her Liam" Gabe suggested

"Or you could take her to the place you took her to the other day that made her happy when she came back" Eric suggested
