The Assassin Mate

Chapter Four

Stephen POV

We make it back to the palace in less then five minutes luckily we own many places even in the human territory, Jumping out of the car I run up the steps and push open the doors walking into the palace everyone was waiting in one of the seating parlors I step up onto the stage and the crowd dies down, Vincent stands next to me his face unreadable, I look over at my father his face confused on why I would call everyone into a meeting. Looking over the crowd I spot Vincent’s mate, I get more pissed off the more I look at her. Here she is capable of being with the one the moon goddess sent for her and yet she betrayed the moon goddess because all she is thinking of is power, she well never be my queen or my mate. Sighing softly I clear my throat and wait for all the talking to stop before I begun to speak. “ I have a announcement to make, earlier today I found my mate” gasps are heard over the crowd. Sarah looks up at me shocked her eyes showing anger as I continue. “ The palace well be on lockdown until we can find her once more, I don’t want anyone discussing the fact that I have a mate, until I can get her back” “who is she someone shouts from the crowd”. Looking at both Vincent and my father, my father stands and walks standing next to me. We believe that she is the daughter of the late alpha Seth and Luna anna”. The crowd goes silent in complete shock, my father continues “we don’t need anyone knowing about this that is why the kingdom well be on lockdown”, he says as he looks over each and everyone in the crowd. “do I make myself clear” they all bow “yes sir” nodding he steps back putting a hand around Vincent’s shoulders walking him off the stage. Holding up the picture of her “ Has anyone of you seen this girl in the last couple of months” many said no but a boy walks up looking closely at the picture his face drains of all color. “we need to talk” he whispers nodding I step off the stage walking thru the crowd going upstairs to my office. The young boy following me I step in ushering him in, I close the door behind me and seat at my desk offering a seat to the boy. Looking at him for a moment I recognize him from a neighboring pack, the same boy I saw running away from the café. He seats down nervously shifting in his seat as he looks down at his hands.

“well, what do you know” I ask him

He looks up at him and begins speaking, “well you see sir, me and some of my friends went to the café for a quick dinner, and we saw her seating alone and she was stunning and so w- we approached her he stutters” my blood begins to boil thinking of him looking at my mate, but keeping my voice calm I ask him “and then what happened” “well you see sir at first she wasn’t having any of it, and I swear sir we didn’t know s-she was a wolf and we figured it would a easy lay, we thought she was human” looking at him puzzled “what do you mean you didn’t know she was a wolf, all wolves have a scent” He looks up at me and says “ I know sir that’s why we thought she was human but I swear she had no scent” nodding my head I let him finish. “then after I talked her into it she went outside with me, I mean sir she was like a goddess she was that gorgeous even with her scars”. I raise a eyebrow as I look at him, “you see sir she was wearing a corset black with hints of red on it, she was covered in scars her back and even above a eyebrow, when we got outside she unmasked her scent, and then she kicked my ass and that is when I remembered hearing the stories of the assassin a wolf who was trained to kill sir, when I confronted her about it she said we were lucky normally no one say her except for there death” he looks down at his hands once more as I stare at him in complete shock. I have heard of this assassin she would never harm a child or a wife, but she has not hesitation to kill others. They call her the wolf ghost, or the reaper cause anyone who sees her normally dies soon later. Standing up I walk to a bookshelf pulling out a old book a book of legends and prophecies. Looking at the young man “thank you for your time, do not repeat what you told me to anyone else do you understand me” he nods standing and leaves the room shutting the door softly behind him. Leaning back in my chair I turn and look out the window another storm was brewing as I watch the sky get darker and darker. Turning back around facing my desk I begun to look thru the book trying to understand what is going on. Hours slowly ticked by and soon it was already four am. Standing I stretch as I pour myself another glass of whiskey leaning against the window thinking to myself “my darling mate, what has happened to you” I take a sip as I hear a knock on the door. Keeping my eyes outside watching the rain fall I respond “ calm in” soon I heard the door open and softly shut, catching the smell of who it is. I freeze up my wolf getting restless in the back of my mind. I slowly turn and face the one person I don’t want to see as I look at her notice she is completely naked walking slowly to me trying to be sexy, I look at her with a grotesque look on my face “what do you want Sarah” Smiling she walks closer to me running her finger down my chest hooking it into the waist line of my pants. “ I want you baby, you know I’m your true queen I can feel the pull, why must you lie about finding your mate” she says in her wheezy annoying voice. Growling I take her wrist pulling it off me shoving her against a wall as my hand wraps around her throat lifting her off the ground. Her hands claw at mine as she gasps trying to catch a breath “you.. well. Never.. be.. a queen” I say each word slowly my eyes shifting my wolf slowly coming to the surface as I stare at her. “do I make myself clear” she nods and I drop her to the floor, she quickly rushes out of the room coughing as she goes. I settle back behind the desk leaning back closing my eyes.

Sarah POV

I run out of his office tears in my eyes, anger and jealousy feeling me up as I run locking myself in my room I grab a robe sliding it on as a pace around the room. “I well get you to be mind I say aloud” my wolf hasn’t talked to me since I broke the mate bond towards Vincent, Flopping onto the bed I scream into my pillow, “ I need to figure out a plan to make him mine, even more so since she was kidnapped eighteen years ago” Seating up on my bed I look thru my phone until I find the right number, I quickly right out a text.

I NEED YOUR HELP

Pushing send I seat it down, getting up I grab a pair of pajamas and slide them on. I hear a ding and run to my phone.

AND WHY WOULD I HELP YOU?

BECAUSE YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD

I respond thinking back to when he saved me shaking my head I see three dots appearing knowing his responding.

FINE WHAT DO YOU WANT it reads.

Seating there and thinking of what I genuinely want a smile appears on my face as I quickly type out another message.

I NEED YOU TO KILL A FEW PEOPLE

I push send and wait he responds

WHO AND WHAT DO I GET BACK FOR DOING THIS FAVOR FOR YOU?

I WANT THE CURRENT QUEEN AND KING DEAD, ALSO WANT BOTH BETAS DEAD, BUT NO HARM MUST COME TO STEPHEN.

I wait for a text message back instead he calls me, picking up on the first ring I bring the phone to my ear. “do we have a deal I say” soon his voice answers, “it well be done, but why do you want the heir to remain?” biting my lower lip I respond quietly “because I want to be queen, I deserve to be queen, and if he looses everyone he will have no choice but to be mine” sighing he says “fine, but when you become queen, you better believe I well becoming to you for a favor” with that he hangs up the phone I lay back on my bed looking up at the ceiling a evil smile appears on my face, “when his whole family is dead, his mate well come to comfort him and I will kill her to break the mate bond that was meant for me” with my plan in motion I fall asleep.

Stephen POV

I jolt awake to pounding on my door, groaning I remove my face off my desk “come in” I yell as I stand stretching, the door opens and Vincent walks in. “man did you sleep in here again?” he asks me while looking me up and down, running my hand thru my hair as I nod. “yea man” just trying to figure some things out. He looks at me “about my sister?” I nod as he flops on the sofa laying down. “ I don’t blame you, I haven’t slept either I just keep wondering why she never came back home after being held for so many years”. Looking down at him I seat on the other couch rubbing the back of my neck as I try to find the words to tell him what that boy said. “spit it out bro, what’s up” sighing I look at him a boy saw her yesterday and actually spoke with her down at the café” He seats up instantly, “and what was said” he asks anxiously. “well man to be honest I don’t know what to think of it, he said that he tried to get with her because she didn’t smell like a wolf, she tried to ignore him but he kept persisting so she took them outside while outside she unmasks her smell” I watch his reaction as I continue. “well man she’s the assassin we’ve all grown to fear. Vincent looks at me shocked opening and closing his mouth as he is at a lost of words. Moving to the edge of the couch he says slowly “ so you are telling me that my sister was made to kill others and that she is the assassin that we were warned about?” I nod my head yes as he puts his hands over his face. “man what are we going to do” he whispers softly more to himself then me. I seat back in the chair as I look at him. “we get her back, we just found her we wont loose her again as your sister and my mate” ‘I know man” he sighs softly laying back against the couch. “so what is your plan anyways” he asks me. “honestly, I don’t know, but we will think of something” standing I look out my window as the rain still comes down. “you were lost my dear mate, and now I found you I refuse to loose you again be prepared my angel we will find you” I think to myself.
