The Assassin Mate

Chapter Three

Freya POV,

Driving away my hands begun to shake as I try to catch my breath, the feeling in my chest unfamiliar an ache that can not be described but it felt as if there was a magnetic pull telling me to turn around and drive right back where I came from. The only thing that I can hear is my own heart pounding and my wolf howling in my head yelling at me to go back to her mate, “you know we can’t, not yet” I respond as I pull over. Stepping out of the car I begun to pace as I try to slow down my heart rate, not knowing what I should do, beginning to get aggravated I lean on my car controlling my emotions as my eyes flash. “you must calm yourself” angelica says “you remember last time you got this worked up” “yes I know” I respond as I close my eyes visions of the night that I killed over 200 people due to not realizing my own strength.

Hearing my phone ring I set back in the car and answer it.

“what do you want Andrew” I respond instantly

“ no hi no nothing for me” he responds

“not in the damn mood Andrew, what do you want”

“we were just getting worried, you know how inpatient he can get even more so when it comes to a job”

Sighing softly I choose my next words very carefully as I cant let them know or even begin to think that I have found my mate, as it is for there own safety until I can remember everything of who I am I have to keep getting them to think that I work for them and no one else or even have the want to kill them and find my mate once more.

“ill be there by dawn”

Hanging up the phone I get back on the road and begin to drive once more silence feeling the car, with only my thoughts to keep me company.

Stephen POV

I link to my father instantly as I continue to watch my mate drive off “father gather everyone now I well be there in five minutes” cutting the link before hearing his response I look at my best friend “brother we will find her I promise” He looks at me his face showing no emotions “why would she run” he asks softly. “I don’t know but we will find out” making my way into the café trying to catch her scent I walk to the back of the café and spot a leather jacket still seating on the chair, I pick it up bringing it to my nose smelling it a soft growl erupting from my throat as her smell of roses and honey fills my senses. I hold her jacket to me and look over at the waitress watching us closely of course she was starring more then normal we are used to being stared at even more so when you have one of royal blood, are features stand out. I smile at her and walk to her putting on my best smile,

“excuse me miss the young lady that was here seating at that both do perhaps have a security camera that well show her.”

She begins to stutter as she stares at me completely shocked about me approaching her. “yes sir, she has been here a few times in the last month I haven’t seen her before but the last four months you well see her come in” she responds.

Nodding my head, I ask her “is she ever with anyone? Or is she always by herself.”

“by herself sir she always seats at that both as well.”

I look at both again and see the three cameras on the walls “do any of those point exactly where she is?

“of course o-one second” she stutters as she and I make my way back into a small office she starts up the computer and rewinds the cameras to where I see her coming into the café, I pause the video and take a photo of her thankfully the camera is in color and not that grainy cameras many places have I smile once more at the waitress “thank you for helping me, and please don’t let anyone know of this” she smiles and nods. I walk back to my car where Vincent is and hand him my phone showing him the picture. I watch his reaction as he stands up straighter his eyes shifting showing his wolf is trying to take control. “that’s her brother” he responds looking at me “that is my baby sister” I nodding I pull him into a hug “we will get her back” I whisper “I promise” he nods and gets into the car. “we need to get back now and let the kingdoms know” he responds I get in and we make are way back to the palace in silence once more lost in thought.

Unknown POV

I seat as I watch my king throwing things across the hallway, I shake my head slowly sensing his anger. My king lets out a roar that shakes the castle. Sighing softly “ sir you need to calm your emotions” he looks at me his eyes blood red his fangs descending “ She is always testing me to the max, he wont listen I thought that by now I would have got her to submit to me” I sigh once more looking at him “sir you know what you say she cant be controlled” he rolls his eyes “yes I know what her blood is”

“why don’t you just tell her the truth” I ask

“why so she can hate me even more for what was done to her”

Nodding I stand up and walk to my best friend, “she has the right to know sir”

“yes I know, but how do I tell someone they our your daughter and the rightful heir to my throne when I beat her for eighteen years, not to mention I am the one to kill her father and mother”

He walks to the door as I stand there “ I understand that, after all you to beat me after trying to protect my sister. With that I walk out letting my father be left alone, sighing I walk through the castle and to were her room is. I do not enter knowing she well be able to smell it. Our father made her into a killer, she is one of the toughest girls I have ever meet, well I suppose she would after being abused for years until she became one of the most feared assassins both worlds have ever seen, I know its wrong keeping it from her but I also know the gifts that she has, she has two pure bleed blood running thru her. The blood of a true alpha and the blood of are father the vampire king. I slowly make my way to my room and lay down slowly drifting to sleep.

Freya POV,

I reach Alaska crossing the border the guards bow down to me as I drive past, reaching the palace I park my car and step out, looking up at the castle that towers over me. “well, here we go” sighing I put on a blank face and walk up the steps and open the doors I step into the foyer, and look around everyone looks at me but they keep there distance, Its pretty bad when even vampires are frightened of you. Smirking I walk up three flight of stairs standing in front of the vampire kings door. I knock and wait for a response. Hearing the “ come in” I push open the doors walking in seating down not even waiting for a invite to do so. Leaning back in my chair, I look at the king waiting for him to begun. Keeping my eyes on him he seats behind the desk.

“well its about time you arrive” he remarks

Rolling my eyes I look at him “so what its now a crime to have some free time and do what I wish”

Growling his eyes flash red “you best respect me he snarls”

Raising a eyebrow I glare at him keeping eye contact, any one else to do these would have probably been killed by now and fear him, but not me to me his just a pansy vampire who likes me to get my hand dirty and not his. Watching him closely he opens one of the drawers on his desk and opens it leaning over the desk he hands it to me; I look down at the file and begun to flip thru it.

“and where are you sending me this time” I ask.

“you well be going to Oregon, I need the heir of the Lycans dead and then I need you to kill the king and queen along with the betas. I want full control and unfortunately they are in my way. He smiles a sadistic smile as I keep looking thru the file. Nodding I stand up and begin walking to the door.

“did I tell you, you can leave” he snaps at me

Gripping the door knob I turn around and look at him my eyes flashing there bright gold as a snarl erupts from my mouth “ you want this job done, so that is what I’m doing if you have a problem with me not thanking you or sucking up to then find a half wit to be your servant” with that I open up the door slamming it shut, trying to calm my nerves I walk up another flight of stairs to my room. I never could figure out why he allowed me up here, when all the warriors leave in a complete different building. Opening the door I begin to strip from my clothes making my way to the bathroom, turning on the water in the shower I look at myself in the reflection. Angelica has been staying awfully quiet which means normally something is going to happen soon. Shrugging my soldiers, I step into the warm water leaning my head back letting the warmth run over me. Rubbing my skin with my favorite body wash, feeling all the scars that are covering my body not even remembering being so used to them I get out slowly and wrap a towel around me and step into my bedroom and towards the closest, debating what I should wear. But my thoughts keep running towards my mate, the way he just stood there completely in shock as I speed off. He probably hates me, but I was only doing it to protect him, I feared what would happen if they ever found out and I know I need to keep it to myself till the perfect time when I can get close enough to do what I have been planning for the past eighteen years. That is one thing that I’m actually thankful for thou, everyone fears me due to my reputation, even thou the reputation I have was forced upon me, I also know that it has made me stronger then most, hell even vampires fear me. Even thou some still test me. I laugh softly as I remember all the times I’ve been considered weak, and that is far from the truth and I show it every time. Finding some clothes I get a pair of matching underwear and bra sliding them on followed by a pair of jeans that fit my hips perfectly and I tank top that shows my stomach. Sliding on a pair of ankle boots I pull my hair up in a high pony tail and walk out of my room heading downstairs, as I do the door across from me opens up and I am standing face to face with Xander he gives me a soft smile and nods towards.

“good to see you back” he says softly

Smiling “ thank you, how have you been Xander”

“I am well, might I accompany you”

I know and we walk downstairs in silent he keeps looking at me with a expression I cant figure out on his face.

Sighing softly “ spit it out Xander, why do you keep starring at me like that”

“nothing dear, just thinking mostly”

I nod my head as we keep walking to the kitchen, in a house full of vampires I am the only one who eats human food and thankfully the vampire king hired a chief he looks over a me, “good to see you again my dear” he responds in his thick Italian accent. Smiling I ask for a omelet and he gets busy at work as I seat at the island and watch him. Xander seating next to me.

“might I ask a question” he asks me

Nodding he continues “ I know my father is sending you on another job, I was wondering if you would like the company this trip” I looked up at him shocked, being this is the first time that he has ever actually shown interest in me. I nod my head slowly, he is probably the only person that I do not dislike here seeing as he has saved me on many events that has happened in the past eighteen years, I look at the glass of water in front of me as I let my mind wander to one even in particular.

Flashback

It was two years after I came here and I was once again getting beatings, tears flew down my face as I got whipped repeatedly with silver. He said that I deserved it because I couldn’t win a battle that I was in, being ten years old you think that they wouldn’t be upset about the fact that I lost, but boy was I wrong. I felt another sting on my back as I arch my back crying out in pain. The one beating me snarls “ you deserved it, you deserve everything given to you your nothing more then a weak b***h”

“please… I beg please stop it hurts” I whimper he begins to laugh at me and whips me again. Feeling the blood run down my back I look down at the puddle at my feet. Closing my eyes I feel another sting across my back

“ that is enough” I hear a voice say

“ you don’t tell me boy, your father does”

I turn as I watch the boy take the whip and throw it across the room

“ your not wrong he responds, but how do you think my father is going to react knowing you ignored me” I was shocked as I watch this boy stand up to him. He looks at me and I put my head down in submission as he walks over to me and undoes the silver at my wrists, and fall to the floor. “ thank you” I whisper softly. He looks at me nodding “ don’t cry anymore, your not weak train harder” he whispers and walks out

End of flashback

After that I never allowed myself to cry, and I trained harder then ever, even thou I still got into trouble here and there just due to my temper. I look up at Xander and he looks at me with curiosity. “were did you just go” he asks “ I was remembering when you saved me the first time when we were ten” nodding he watches as the chief puts my food in front of me I begin eating. As a female vampire comes in one of my many tormentors who I normally allowed to beat me. Due to know that I have become the best I get in trouble cause normally I kill them in the process. Watching her walk up to me she dumps my food on the floor shattering the plate every where.

“oh I’m sorry I didn’t see you there” she smirks

I look up to her “ I’m sure you didn’t savannah explains why you get beat almost every practice”

Xander seats there watching us a smirk on his face as he stays quiet watching the battle emerging before his eyes.

“you’ve never won against me” she snarls her eyes flashing red.

Xander laughs softly “ well maybe we can have another fight see he wins”

Spinning around him looking at him he winks, she begins laughing “you must love seeing her get her ass beat, how about right now” she walks out the back door down to the arena.

“what the hell Xander”

“ I want you to beat her I want you to put her in her place, and I want everyone hear to see the strength you have”

I look at him shocked as he begins texting on his phone, smirking he looks at me “ my father agrees, go change and be down at the training fields in ten minutes”. With that he stands and walks outside. Sighing I go back upstairs changing into a sports bra and shorts. Silently cussing Xander out as I walk to the arena, everyone was there watching me as I step into the arena.

“SILENCE” the vampire king yells the arena going dead silent if you were to drop a pin on the ground you would be able to hear the echo. I look over at savannah as she smirks “ready to be six feet under, talked the king into a fight to the death” she smirks thinking that she has won a great price. I stand there silent as I stretch keeping my eyes on her. “nothing to say, figured you would get to scared to talk s**t” Rolling my eyes we walk to the middle. Soon hearing the vampire king yell “Fight” the crowd roared loudly waiting to see who would win.

Kneeling into the dirt I pick up a handful putting it thru my hands as I keep my eyes on savannah, she looks at me and a smile forms on her lips as she thinks that I am already submitting to her. “that well be a cold day in hell” I hear angelica say in the back of my mind I laugh softly as I look up at Xander he gives me a soft smile and a nod. “shall we play” I respond to angelica, she nods and give ah soft laugh “you always do like playing with your chew toys before you kill them. Shrugging I think to myself more fun that way.

Savanah looks at the king asking him silently what to do, “stop being a coward both of you and fight” he yells loudly. She looks at me again and runs full force at me, “here we go” I whisper. As she reaches me I stand up quickly bring my elbow to her nose hearing the satisfying crunch, as she stumbles back I turn around once more facing her as I see the blood pouring from her nose “ you stupid b***h” she screams as she lunges at me again bringing her fist straight to my face, I stop it bending her wrist hearing another satisfying snap. Dropping her hand I step back once more smirking as I look at her. “maybe I should blind fold myself you might have a chance to hit” she roars and comes to me once again bringing her left foot up and kicking me in my stomach making me fly landing on my ass a few feet away. Smirking I seat up and kneel back down watching her movements as I slowly stand she comes back at me fists swinging connecting a few times, fortunately I feel no pain. One of the perks I suppose of how I was brought up, only thing that it causes is me and angelica to get angry and that is what we wanted. We wanted her to think she is winning for a bit to do three things. One wear her down and two get her so outraged she gets sloppy. I lick my lip tasting the coopery taste as I dodge a few more punches, she brings her leg up to kick me again, grabbing her foot I kick her other foot out from under her, I drop her leg and walk around her as she regains her breathing to normal. Smirking she stands her eyes blood red, seeing that I know I am on the right path. As she swings again I dodge it bringing my fist up and slamming it into her jaw, the crowd aaahs and oohhs as her head spins to the side and blood begins pouring out of her mouth. “what happened to you kicking my ass” I respond smirking as I watch her spit more blood on the dirt. She stands up throwing dirt in my face blurring my vision as she hits me repeatedly face stomach, face, stomach a one to repeat. Me and my wolf officially have had enough as my vision slowly comes back to normal. She brings up her fist as I grab her by the throat slamming her into the dirt, punching her repeatedly, she lays still as I look up in the audience seeing the vampire king looking at me. “finish it” he yells as I smile up at him standing I walk back from her, the crowd gasping as I bluntly ignored the kings command, the kings eyes flash red as he comes out onto the arena and walks to me “ I said kill her he yells in my face, his spit covering my face I reach up wiping it off, looking at him once more coming noise to noise with a man so many fear, but for me I just despised him. “I well not, she might be a cunt but this alone well teach her a lesson” I begun walking away as the king grabs me by my wrist pulling me to him as he begins yelling at me. My temper once more rising. As he continues to make threats “don’t think I wont kill you in her place” he yells. Laughing loudly I look him once more dead into the eyes, “ you wont kill me, you made me into your weapon. You kill me you would have to get the blood on your hands. And I doubt you can” snarling I snatch my hand back and walk out of the arena and to the river that runs through the property beginning to was the blood off of me as I hear a loud roar knowing the king himself lost his temper. A smile appears on my face as I think to myself

One step closer until I can finish him off.
