The Assassin Mate

Chapter 8

Freya POV

Giving him a small smirk I look at him, "do you want the graphic details or do you want me to sugar coat it for you" he frown at me "this is not a funny situation" he snaps as he begins to walk closer to me. "I am not laughing, im serious when i ask if you want me to sugar coat it or be one hundred percent honest with you, becouse my story is not all unicorns and rainbows, its fire and brimstone and everything in between. I need to make sure that your not going to freak out or haze if I let you know everything" Stephen clears his throat as he looks at me moving to were he could cup my cheek in his hands.

"we want to know it all"

"as you wish" I say standing nose to nose with him. I take a step back as i grab the hem of my shirt and pulling it over and off turning around to reveal my back. I hear them gasp and I slowly turn to face them revealing my rib cage and my stomach tat are also covered in scars. The look on there faces were a mixture of so much pain that I was confused about it, I wasnt sure if it was because they still see me as that little girl that they knew growing up or if it was because they werent there to protect me as they wanted. But I do know that I was not going to push them away again. whatever happens I well protect them, I am beginning to realize that they dont make me weak but just the opposite they make me feel even more stronger knowing that I have something to fight for something to protect and something that can perhaps give me a reason to not hate myself for all the blood that is on my hands. But this war has just begun and this is the first step to showing that I can trust them. I watch as they look at me, I move towards the window and shut my eyes briefly my memories of everything that I have dealt with since I was taken from them flash thru my mind. All the memories all of the pain all of it swarming behind my eyes. Turning to look at them I lean against the window in hopes that the cool feel of the glass against my back would calm me enough to get thru this.

"know before you bombard me with questions let me talk first and answer the questions you have already asked, and the questions that I know that you are going to ask. You guys want it all then you need to let me get thru all of this in one fair swoop because there are two things that arent going to happen, the first is that I dont like to repeat myself so once I say this once I tell you guys everything I well not keep repeating myself to others. I dont need to explain myself or explain what I am the way I am now. If they cant accept the fact im not a prissy bimboo then so be it. And the second no sympathy no I should have tried harder bull crap none of it, because regardless of what I have been thru I came out stronger in the long run and for that I am thankful to my father." I take a deep breath after my rant my eyes glancing over all of them. "do we understand each other?" They nod there heads and all three of them seat down. Xander looking down at his hands, he already know this story hell he was involved with many of the events that took place, but for some reason I cant blame him for doing what he did. I turn back to the window and take a deep breath, "I dont remember much of who I was when I was younger I have some dreams that appereantly were of that time but I cant seat here and tell you I remember everything when I dont, I do remember when I would show emotion and apologize for everything but the king got tired of it, always told me that showing emotions was a sign of weakness, vulnerability and that was when the lessons begin with a silver whip dipped in wolfs bane and when I would whimper or cry out after each lashing, they cot creative from anywhere from stabbing me with silver blades and tying me down while my body healed around the blades just for them to rip them out again. To pure silver injections right into my blood stream and once I stopped showing signs of emotion the next faze begin which was loyality. To see if I would take orders not to mention I already had Angelica at that time as well and so that truly helped to keep some of my sanity during it. And before you ask I was ten at my first shift, and yes I realize that wolfs normally shift on there eightenth birthday and no I dont know why perhaps Angelica knew that I needed her sooner then normal or if there was another reason behind it I honestly dont know"

"yea, sure that is why. Why dont you tell them the real reason" Angelica snarls in the back of my head.

"not a word, not yet" I snap at her before i continue my story. "The king wanted to get me to become loyal to him he gave me more freedom, schooling the works but during that time I was to fight, but no where near how others were" I stop talking and look over at Xander who was still refusing to look at me. I knew he did what he had to, the king was ruthless in his need to make me a killer. His killer.

"how were you trained Freya" Stephen asked me snapping me out of my own thoughts turning my attention to him. clearing my throat I look him in the eyes seeing the sadness and for the first time in my life I actually hesitate to continue on in fear of it effecting him more.

"Are you sure you want to know"

"yes" he says instantly. I nod my head and turn back to the window watching the rain fall as I begun again "at first it was tripping me,slapping me around. Then when I got told to pretty much be the slave doing everything from cooking, cleaning, laundry it all feel onto me. When I didnt get things done properly the first time was beaten, starved chained in the dungeons for week on end. When i was sixteen was the first time I tried to escape I was caught at the door first time they beat me so bad I was tasting death on my tongue. That was when I myself became violent, when I woke up I was thrown into the arena with two other vampires who were in the dungeons and starved of blood and so it made them crazed with thirst. And it was kill or be killed at that point. Angelica has always been a wolf who doesnt handle threats very well and a temper so bad it makes mine look like I am innocent angel. But no matter how many limbs i ripped off of them they still kept coming untill I ripped out there hearts.When I killed those two, four more appeared and then after them four more, at that point I became the executioner and I got good at it to the point that if I no longer feeled the blood or feel there life drained becouse of me. I became savage all emotion cut off i was worse then rouges , hell even worse then some vampires. The king saw that I was becoming stronger so he made sure i was locked away again with the beatings, the torture until he let me out, said that he had a job for me. At that point I was already more monster then wolf. I would kill who he told me to, packs destroyed masacred except for woman and children regardless what the king did to me refused to bend a knee towards that one rule and that is when he realized he f****d up" I pause and turn looking at all three as I walk to the sink pouring me a glass of water I take a sip. Stephen walks behind me placing his hand on my shoulder, I turn looking into his eyes taking a deep breath i begun to relax.

"how did he f**k up" Stephen asks me bringing his hand to my cheek, I let out a gentle laugh looking at him then to Xander.

"She beat our father in battle" He says softly a smirk on his lips

"wait what" Stephen asks looking between me and Xander, "how?"

"easily" I said "he wanted to see how far i progressed last leasson for me was to fight him"

"wellll" Xander says and I couldnt help but to roll my eyes,

"fine he told me and I quote when I say kill everyone that means everyone, I refused and told him to go f**k himself, he attacked me I fought back. That is when he realized that on his mission to make me his personal assassin he also created a monster who refuses to bow down to any man" I chuckle softly as I remember the events of that day.

"holy f**k Freya" Vincent says standing up "how the f**k did you survive even more so with silver and the wolfs bane"

"actually" Xander says cutting him off I flash Angelica at him cause i know exactly what he was going to say. He looks at me rolling his eyes, "there going to find out eventually"

"find out what" Stephen growls looking at Xander. Xander looks at Stephen and ignores my aura that I was pushing out to him.

"she is immune to both silver and wolfs bane"

"that is not possible there is no record of a wolf who is immuned" Vincent yells. I look at him and begin to laugh at him I go to my bag and start searching for the kit and blade when I find them I move back in front of Vincent.

"I dont like when I am questioned" I say looking up at him, "do you trust me?" he looks at me hesitantly at first and honestly I dont blame him. He might be my brother, but he just found out that his baby sister is one of the most feared assassins to walk the earth. He nods his head and I move closer to him holding up the blade. "pure silver" I say looking at him, I open up the kit holding the syringe one of liquid silver and a silver wolfs bane mix. "this is pure liquied silver and a silver wolfs bane mix, I wont use them on you becouse you would not be able to survive it" I take the blade and grab him by the arm cutting him with it watching his sking begin to bister and his veins turning black for a moment. He hisses out in pain I see his wolf surface to begin to heal him, I step away from him and hold up the silver and wolfs bane syringes. Xander walks over to me and tries to stop me but I push his hand away.

"Freya" he gives me the hidden warning in just his voice alone

"you know that I dont listen" I say smirking at him before sticking both of the needles into my arm dropping them to the carpet.

"ARE YOU INSANE" Vincent yells as he runs to me grabbing my arm and looking at the injection site.

"warned you I dont like being questioned"

"I wasnt questioning you, I was in damn shock" Vincent steps to face me nose to nose, and before I could even get a word in Stephen pulls me into a tight hug after seeing that what I spoke was the thruth, "you ever pull that stunt again I well bend you over my knee and spank that perfect ass until it is a pretty shade of red" I couldnt help but grow weak in the knees and get butterflys in my stomach, at just his husky voice alone. "do you understand me?" he whispers softly against my ear and without a second thought i nodded my head, he growls softly kissing the side of my head. "good girl" I knew right then that i couldnt see myself living another day without him. Our moment was interupted when my phone goes off. I step away from Stephen walking to the table looking at who it is and my eyes instantly snap up to the three men holding a finger to my lips I answer the call.

"Not even twenty-four hours and your already calling? What can I do for you Andrew"

"you never checked in and I was begining to worry"

"you know that i never listen" I say firmly

I hear Andrew sigh, "you never have" he mutters. I let out a soft chuckle and move to the bathroom shutting the door behind me hearing a soft click.

Stephin POV

I watch as my mate moved to the bathroom and shuts the door. Taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart, I turn to look at Xander the question on the tips of my tounge,

"Andrew is second in command and is very protective of Freya even thou she doesnt view it that way" I nod my head and seat in one of the chairs running my hands thru my hair

"holy f**k" I sigh

"It is indeed a lot to take in" Xander says seating back down

"you f*****g think? First you tell me that my mate is here sent by the vampire king to kill my whole family. Then my mate herself pins me to the wall with a extrodanary amount of strength, and then she fills in exactly what happened to her and she is immune to silver and wolfs bane. And ohh yes lets not f*****g forget and the cherry on the cake She is the f*****g assassin that have had poems written about her to keep there pups in line. ohh yes and she is hybrid lets not f*****g forget that part" I take a deep breath and begin to laugh , and I continue to laugh both Vincent and Xander look at me at this point as if I was insane.

"Bro?" Vincent says, I shake my head my laughter calming down.

"who would have thought that little timid girl who would cry if we did not play with her that same little girl who I always have been in love with would be alive and well that is all i have ever wanted"

"She is coming home now that is all that matters" Vince says. nodding my head I stand up and pat him on his back smiling towards Xander, "welcome to the family, you have a home as well with us" I say firmly holding my hand out to him. He shakes it as the bathroom door opens, and my eyes instantly zoom in on her. I watch as she looks around before her eyes settle onto me My beast taking over I was by her side in a instant, my eyes peircing into hers as I watch her eyes turn to silver with flecks of gold showing me that Angelica was close to the surface. I couldnt help but to cup her face gently in my hands my thumb trailing down her cheek gently.

"Hello my dear Angelica" loving the sound of her name in my mouth

"Hello Stephen" she says in a raspy but soft voice that left goosebumps against my skin. I hear a soft click of the door but I knew that we werent in any danger. It was just Xander and Vincent giving us time to ourselves. And I couldnt be more thankful that they were aware that we needed time to actually bond to one another but not just as mates, but as someone that she is able to trust fully. I run my hand thru her hair watching as her eyes flutter shut, her lips part slightly as she intakes a deep breath, and I couldnt help the smile that forms on my face at how easy she responds to my touch, and from what she has told us I highly dout she allows anyone to touch her. I lean forward and kiss her forhead softly. I look down at her, her eyes shifting back and forth between Freyas and Angelicas before fully settling back on Freya. She looks at me biting her lower lip as she tries to battle the emotions or thrying to figure out what to say. Taking my thumb I gently pull her lip away from her teeth watching her lip darken and i couldnt help but to growl softly. "you can tell my anything" i tell her my voice even deeper then before, I watch her eyes dilate and her heart rate pick up feeling her pulse under my palm as I gently rub her cheek with my thumb.

"Why dont you look at me like everybody else does?" she asks as she c***s her head to the side as if she was trying to understand me but much deeper my soul and my heart.

"Becouse you are my world, and what that vampire did to you does not make this" I place my hand over her heart "less then what you are, you are a warrior and a fighter. But the mere fact that you didnt kill innocent woman and children prove that" I watch the reactions of what I said filter thru his eyes, she shakes her head gently before taking a step back from me. And I couldnt help the growl that escapes my lips as I pull her back to my chest wrapping my arms tightly around her waist "stop trying to push me away" I growl at her. I can feel her stiffen up and I wont lie I fear that she was going to do something. She suprised me thou when I started to feel her relax in my arms.

"Im sorry" she whispers, I stand there in silence for a few minutes, completly blown away from what she just said to me. I take a step back looking into her eyes.

"You have nothing to be sorry for"

"Yes I do, you deserve a queen, someone who is worthy"

"you are worthy and exactly what kind of queen that I want" I say cutting her off "I am not loosing you again, do you understand me?"I say firmly, I watch her nod her head before she leaned up on her tiptoes, Pressing her lips to mine, and f**k my whole world just stopped. I could feel her hesitate at first when I wasnt responding to her, I clicked out of it and kissed her back softly before wrapping my arms around her waist putting more into the kiss. Letting out a soft groan I bite her lower lip to gain access to her mouth. She lets out a soft gasp but gives me the access that i so crave, her taste so intoxicating that I cant help but to taste every inch of her. My hands run down her hips to her ass gripping it as my tongue dances with here. Our taste mingling as one, lifting her up I spin her around pinning her to the wall. Her legs wrapping around my waist on instinct pressing her heips tightly into mine. I break the kiss to catch my breath resting my forhead against hers. taking on of my hands i run it thru her hair once more. "we should slow this down a bit"she whispers softly.

"I agree, when I finally mark and mate you, it well be in our own bed at the palace" she smiles big and I swear i felt my heart stop.

"sounds perfect but we still need to figure out who betrayed you when they ran to my father to get you guys killed by me" she spits out the venom of rage clearly in her voice. I nod my head growling when I can feel my anger boiling. The front door opens and both Vincent and Xander walk in chatting away and laughing. our heads whips to them quckly and Vincent looks at us for a moment and then turns shielding hey eyes, "IM BLIND, IM BLIND" he shouts on the top of his long as he dry heaves. I couldnt help the chuckle as i let Freya leave my arms.

"well you two seem to have figured things out" Xander says arching a eyebrow at me. Freya glares at him but you can see the blush creeping up her neck to her cheeks. Xander lets out a soft chuckle as he notices what was going on as well. "never thought that I would see the day" I feel Freya begin to get frusterated as she walks up to Xander. Shoving a finger into his chest "not a damn word" I couldnt help but to laugh she turns and glares at me. I lift my hands up in surrender, she smiles one of those rare smiles that she has that shows her dimples. she walks back to the window and looks outside once more watching the rain "so what is the plan?" she asks "we cant just all stay in this room not to mention the king well start questioning why the job hasnt been done yet, I am normally in and out. I can buy us some time but I dont know how much" I pull my phone out and scroll thru my contacts untill I find my fathers number and press call.

"son, did you find her?"

"yes I did infact she is right here next to me as we talk" I say softly

"Son that is amazing news, does she remember us?"

"we will discuss this when we get back to the palace, I dont want to do this conversation over the phone"

"Of course i completly understand son, get here as soon as possible I well let your mother know"

"thank you dad, we will be heading back in about a hour" I hang up the phone and turn to look at all of them. "we are going to have to go back to the palace, there are things that are going to need to be handled and honestly I want to sleep in my own bed" Freya giggles and I look at her. She stops instantly and bites her lower lip, her laughter was the most addicting sound ever, and i well make it my mission to here it for the rest of our lifes,

"well me and Freya are already packed, this is my first time on a job with her but I know that Freya never unpacks since she never stay in a spot for to long" Nodding my head i begin to laugh. Well i know for a fact that is going to change once she gets back to the palace.
