Kiss of death

Chap 8

Doms POV

I haven’t heard back from Alida. I am starting to worry. She didn’t come back to the pack house last night or answer my text messages. I know she was working on potions. Maybe she got distracted. Maybe she fell asleep. I am passing back and forth in my office. When all of a sudden Chris come barging into my office.

“Haven’t you heard of knocking” I say with my hand on my chest.

“This is important man! Alpha Brian Howls is dead. They found him in his room this morning stabbed and throat slit with the signature dark red kiss on his cheek. Everyone is saying the Angle of death killed him, but like normal there is no trace of them.” Chris spews out to me.

So that’s what Alida was going last night. Wonder why she didn’t tell me.

“Did you know Alida was going to do it?” Chris asks me curiously: “no I did not. The last text I got was around 4 and she was working on potions. But she didn’t answer any of my text or calls after that.” I said.

We should go check on mate: she’s probably home in bed still. Axel whines to me.

“I’m going to head to her cabin and see if she’s home.” I say to Chris as I walk out the door.

I shift into Axel and head off to Alidas cabin.

I arrive at the cabin and knock on the door. I wait but no one answers. I take the spare key out from under the door mat and head inside. The house looks just like to did the last time I was here just really clean and only one piece of papers on the table. There is no smell of coffee in the pot or food that has been cooked. I walk into the bedroom and find the bed made still. The draws are almost empty and the closet looks like it has been picked through. I frantically go look into The bathroom and the basement where her potions area is. The potions area is kind of creepy. There are plants hanging from the ceiling and lots of jars of stuff on the far wall. The area is all cleaned up.

I head into the kitchen and see the piece of paper has my name on it.

Dom,

I am sorry to leave suddenly but it’s for the best. Brian Howls took a hit on my head as well. The only way to protect you was to take him out. He will not be bothering you again. When I heard he put the hit on me it reminded me how dangerous my life is. There are many people after the Angle of Death which means my life will always be in danger and that mean you will be in danger: I couldn’t live with myself if something happened to you because of me. I want you to please move on. I don’t know if I can do this over a letter but here it goes.

I Alida Craft reject you Alpha Dominic Black as my mate.

-Alida-

My heart breaks. She left me. I slowly slide onto the floor. Luckily you can’t reject a mate through the written word. I mind link Chris.

D-she left me man

C-what are you talking about

D-her place is empty and there was note saying she left because she didn’t want to bring me into the danger of her world with a written rejection.

C-man I’m so sorry. Don’t worry she will be back just give her some time. She said she thought she didn’t have a mate. Just give time for the mate bond to strengthen and she will be back.

I feel like my world is crashing down on me. I go into her room and pick up her pillow. It still smells like her. I bring it back with and head straight up to my room. No one says anything to me they just let me process what just happened. Please come home baby.

Alida POV

I have been living in New York for 3 weeks now and the whole time Aria has been whining about going back to Dom. Iv been throwing myself into my work to try to keep my mind off of him. I am heading to England tonight. There is a contract for a wealthy business man who is a demon prince (aka the equivalent of a alpha werewolf).

[Nicholas Rede (pronounce Red)

•Shoulder length blonde hair, blue eyes

•6”4

•Demon prince

•CEO Rede financial London, England.

•Hit placed by Derek Hilt; head financial advisor. Wants picture notification after complete. Nichols works alone and late into the night. Top floor

•$500,000.00 US Dollars]

Someone doesn’t like that he is making so much money and not including them in it. *Eye roll* people can be so petty sometimes. But it pays well as so I’ll do what I do best. I keep my emotions away from it. People want other people dead for stupid reasons all the time.

I pack my case up and hop into the company’s private plans. We don’t want to leave a paper trail. 7 hours later I touch down in London. I have been all around the world. I check into my hotel under the name Scarlet Knoll (my mother’s name).

It is 9:30pm now and I’m heading to Rede financial to take out my target.
