The Assassin Mate

Chapter Two

Lycan Kings POV

"what do you mean we might have a situation Elijah" I ask him standing up behind my desk.

"well you see sir I was on patrol, and you have always told us to also patrol the blue moon pack to make sure that it remains peaceful after the tragedy that took place" I nod as he continues. " There was a girl at the cliffs you always told us that no one knows of were the actual pack was located excepts the royals the guards and the members of that pack". Looking deep in thought I turn and face the window watching the rain hit the glass as I grow deep in thought. "thank you for bringing this to me, I well handle it" Elijah nods and makes his way out of his office as he begins to pace thinking to himself. His best friend was the alpha of that pack when the vampires came he wasn't prepared, he always thought that the whole family died on that un-forgetful night but what if someone remained alive and stayed hidden all this years. sighing he seats back down at his desk wondering what his next step should be with this information from Elijah. Linking to my sons beta I ask him to wake up Stephen and have him and my son meet me in my office as soon as possible. Standing up I begin to pace my office as the storm grows stronger outside.

Stephens POV

I wake up to banging on my door groaning "MAN you best have a good reason to waking me up this damn early in the morning" seats up just as my door flies open and in walks my beta with a smug look on his face.

"oh come on man, its a gorgeous day" he responds at the same time thunder sounds all thru the house.

"you were saying" I respond glaring at him. He begins to laugh. "come on man your father wants to speak to both of us as soon as possible". Sighing softly I stand up and make my way out of my room running my hand thru my hair not realizing instantly that I walked out in nothing more then my pajamas pants. Looking down I shrug not caring, being awake all night with paper work and sleeping a hour the last thing that I cared about is what I was wearing. It was soon to be something I wish I cared about. Vincent my beta walks next to me asking if I wanted to go get food after this. "yea man I can go for some food". He nudges me as I nudge him. Me and him have been best friends since I could remember I swear we were more brothers then best friends. Vincent stops in his tracks making me collide in him "f**k man" smacks him as I look to see why he stopped. And the only thing that can leave my mouth was "f**k". sighing I start walking past Sarah and her groupies Vincent close behind me. See Vincent and Sarah were to be mates. but the night that we turned eighteen Sarah decided to break the mate bond with Vincent because she thought she had a chance with me. Not in a million years, one thing my parents were strong believers on is that true mates were meant for a reason that the moon goddess would not have made each other mates if it were not supposed to be. So of course Vincent was crushed considering that we grew up together, and he lived with us since the attack at the blue moon pack were he lost his parents and even his baby sister Freya. Everyone thinks that is why I have not found my mate, they all thought that Freya would have been my mate. Honestly I did to, I grew up with her and Vincent there parents were practically my aunt and uncle. When we found out they all perished to the vampires we all broke Vincent most of all even thou its been years, sometimes to him and to me still feels like yesterday.

Sighing I make my way to were Sarah and her groupies were apparently waiting for something, one of her friends squeals and Sarah turns around a fake smile plastering over her face.

"oh there you are baby, I thought you were going to sleep the whole day away then you would have forgotten my birthday" she says in a high pitch annoying voice.

"lets get one thing correct, I am not your baby nor well I ever be" I say while I peel her arms off around my waist.

"ohhh come on you know I have always loved you, and you know I would make a gorgeous queen" she whispers against my ear turning her head slightly to see if Vincent was jealous, to her surprise he was not even standing there anymore. Growling softly I once again remove her arms from my neck this time and look at her venom in my voice

"You ever touch me again without permission well be the last thing you do and your birthday present well be banned off my lands, do I make myself clear" I look her dead in her eyes noticing all her friends were already gone. I let her go and walk to my fathers office as I can hear her start bawling yelling " You well be mine Stephen that I promise you" Catching up to Vincent bump into him.

"you ready brother"

Vincent smiles pushing me playfully

"always"

We make it to my fathers office, hearing his "come in" we walk in and seat at my fathers desk both looking at him

"father what is going on" I ask him as he seats at his desk.

"someone was spotted at the blue moon pack"

Vincent and myself seat up straighter

"who" Vincent asks

"we don’t know who she was" my father responds.

Vincent looks at my father, "sorry if I sound rude when I ask this, but what did she look like sir? is there a chance it could have been my sister? we all know that her body wasn’t amongst the dead, I felt the connection shatter with my parents but not my sister"

My dad looks at him as his eyes glaze over, soon after another knock was heard on his door. Entering was Elijah one of the pack warriors.

Sir he says and looks at me and Vincent smiling.

Elijah did you get a good look at the woman you saw at the cliffs last night? my father asks

"of course, to be honest with you sir she was the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen"

"what did she look like" Vincent responds "and be very specific"

Elijah looks at Vincent then my father nods his head.

"well she had long black hair, her complexion was pale almost as if it was made of stone, she was tall I want to say 5 ft 9 and in amazing shape. If I would have guessed she was a warrior of some sort., and the power coming from her it was remarkable. I only saw her eyes for a moment when the lightning lite the sky up but they were piercing green with flecks of gold in them".

Elijah looks at us three as we grow pale, I look at my father and Vincent, My father whispers it sounds so much like Anna. Vincent looks down. reaching into his back pocket he pulls out a photo something I know he has carried with him since that fateful day. It was a picture of his parents and his sister he hands it to Elijah.

"that is my mother, is this who you saw or close to"

Elijah nods "that's her sir but with his eyes, he points at the picture"

Vincent and me stand up as my father walks to the door, opening it as his wife and my mother stand there.

"Is it true, did we finally find Freya" She asks my father

"I believe we did, Vanessa"

Tears form in my mother arms as she walks over to Vincent hugging him tightly as both cry the only time I ever see Vincent cry is when his family is brought up. Elijah looks at us hesitant to say what is on his mind.

"sir, there is one more thing you should know"

"Go on" my father says.

"sir she was standing in the rain so her clothes were soaked, there were scars covering her whole back, scars that were left by the only creature I know that can leave permanent scars like that and another one above her eye"

"vampires" I whisper my eyes instantly turning black, anger feeling my body at the thought that my mate or I hope was my mate was abused for eighteen years. Looking over to Vincent he seems to be in shock my mother holding him.

"we have to find her" he whispers softly

"we will my dear I promise" Luna Vanessa responds looking up to her husband.

He nods in agreement "Stephen why don't you and Vincent go do something while I get things in motion" nodding my head I look up to him, "father please find her, for all of are sakes" Me and Vincent stand and walk out of the office, we head back upstairs so I can actually get clothes on thankfully the pack w***e wasn't around, I don't think I would kill her. Vincent remains quiet "we will find her brother" he nods "I know go get dressed so we can get some food" I go into my room throwing on pants and a black sweater grabbing my keys and wallet I close and lock my door, we both begin making it downstairs to my car and hope in the rain still pouring. We stay quiet on the drive, both deep in thought heading to the diner that we always went to as a family growing up.

"how is this possible” I say to myself quietly as I look out ahead of me watching the scenery fly by us. We reach the café and park and stare off deep in thought each of us fighting are own battles, each of us trying to find the calm that we need right now, soon are thoughts are interrupted by the sound of young wolfs running to their cars their scent telling me there from a surrounding pack that live close to are. Fear plastered on there faces as they get in and speed off. Vincent looks at me “what the hell do you think that was all about” shrugging I unbuckle “have no clue” I then catch a smell the most intoxicating smell that I have ever smelled, jumping out of the car I look around and see a glimpse of a girl standing in the shadows behind the café her eyes flashing as she looks at me.

“bro think I just found my mate” I whisper quietly to myself.

“were is she” He responds looking around but the second that I look for her once more, she was gone her scent slowly drifting away, without thinking I run after the scent hopping to see her and see her beauty that followed her, the last thing that I see is her getting into a car are eyes meeting once more in her review mirror as she slams her car into reverse and begins to speed off. I watch in shock as my mate, the one that the moon goddess herself has made for me drives away. Not knowing if I should fear if I well ever see her again or if I should fear of why she ran away as quick as she did. But her eyes her eyes are the one thing that well stay with me, for the feeling of knowing those eyes, seeing them as I grew up and remembering the last time, I saw them was so many moons again. But those eyes are the one thing that always have stayed with me it is as if I were looking into her soul or she could see into mine, but it did not bring me anguish but peace and serenity.

“Freya” I whisper softly.
