Lycan’s Slayer Mate

Chinese and Rogues

I left Bre in the condo in her element of organization while I make a quick run around the corner from our condo to the Chinese restaurant our intel tells us is owned by the Rogues we are set to take down. These monsters our known for dabbling in human trafficking. The bells ring as I walk into the little mom and pop looking Chinese place and I quickly scan the area for any Rogues. I can smell the distant burnt flesh but it’s long gone maybe a few hours old. A guy comes out to take my order and even though he’s hear working and I shouldn’t trust him and believe me I don’t I also don’t not trust him. He looks concerned for me as I list off what I’d like to order and it to be Togo. He lets me know what he recommended that is just as good but is ready now and I wouldn’t have to wait as long. “Trust me it’s just as good and if you don’t like it call tomorrow after six and ask for Tom and I’ll make you whatever you want on the house. Okay? Just trust me, a pretty girl like you doesn’t need to be out this late and you really don’t need to be here after awhile. Things get weird and people get hurt. What do you say?” He seemed almost nervous like he didn’t want me to be seen or maybe he didn’t want to be heard with the possibility of giving out free food. I’m sure the Rogues would t be too happy and that’s probably it. Deciding to use one of GG Jo’s little toy creations I rolled my ring where the stone was now facing down and placed my hand on his with it coming in direct contact with his hand and began my ploy of cat and mouse to get the truth out of him. Poor Tom just didn’t realize he was the mouse.. NOT me. And I’d get answers. “ oh Tom” I said in my sweetest voice as I smiled at him in the most innocent smile I had. “ are you really worried about little ol me or do you just not want to cook for me? “ I pried batting my eyelashes as I saw the truth serum glaze over his eyes but also saw the hood with hunger. Great he acts sweet but quick to be a pervert. I can work with that. I took my other hand and grazed my fingers up the side of his arm reaching up to his neck letting my finger tips brush back down the front of his chest ever so slowly as I asked again. “ Are you worried for my safety dear Tom?” “ yes” is all he replied. “ why in earth would you worry about little ol me Tom there’s not a big bad wolf is there Tom?” “Yes” is all he responded again. Ok let’s try this one more time. “ And why would they pick me Tom?” “ because you’re pretty and you fit.” I fit? What’s that suppose to mean? “ what do I fit Tom?” I asked. “ you fit, you’ll be taken if I can’t get you to leave before the boss gets back.” I slowly leaned in and let my lips touch his ear and instantly saw him pitch a tent. Poor thing is going to wake up with blue balls and not understand why. I shook my head brushing my nose against his jaw “ and when’s that Tom? When does the boss come back?” “ Any minute, I half to get you to go or you’ll fit.” Again with this I’ll fit crap. But with the any minute I can’t work with that. I didn’t put in my scent blocker before running out so I’m sure if this rogue has been anywhere he’s scented a slayer before and I’ll be taking on everyone by myself. I don’t mind but Bre will be pissed. I stand back to full height , put on my emotionless face and take my hand away watching the haze leave his eyes. “ humm sure thing I’ll try it but if my friend hates it I’m calling tomorrow “ I warn in fake seriousness because even if I like it I’m definitely coming back for Tom. “ sure thing I’ll grab it right away for you!” He all but jumps to stand when he realizes he’s rock hard and looks lost as a child in a bookstore. I look away to give him time to escape so he doesn’t think I seen what he had growing. Nothing to write home about but I mean he was only human and average so whatever. Tom came rushing back out and I already had money on the counter for him. He jumped to the register to get my change and continue to hide his embarrassment that he couldn’t figure out how he got in the first place when I was already opening the door. “ Keep the change Tom, thanks for looking out for me. I just hope you look out for others as well”.I smiled at him over my shoulder and left the Chinese place. I could barley smell burnt flesh again and it was stronger outside than inside so I made some quick decisions and rerouted myself back to the condo keeping as much distance as possible from the smell of the rogues until it completely disappeared and I made my way home without being followed. When I got back to the elevator the parking area smelled different. Weird different and like urine. Seriously this is suppose to be a good neighborhood and it smells like a drunk couldn’t make it home and used the parking lot as a bathroom stall. Absolutely idiotic! The elevator opened to our floor and I could hear music blasting halfway down the hall. Great just great! One night here and she’s going to get us kicked out before I ever get to cuddle in my beautiful big bed with my brand new down comforter I just had to have when I seen that it’s a cooling one and I always wake up in a sweat. As I got closer to the door and could hear the song she was playing I knew it was going to be a long night. Thank goodness I stopped and got her whine while running from the rogues so I didn’t lead them straight back to our location. I opened the door and felt my ears literally explode. Bre was in her big tshirt and socks screaming at the top of her lungs to the same song she’s played for a few years now. Yup, definitely a long night. “ I put the sing in single “ I couldn’t even find the google hime she was blasting to unplug so I just screamed “ hey google turn down 90%” at the top of my lungs. Bre swung around to see me balancing all the food, my key card and a bottle of whine while shutting the door with my foot. “ My bad Boo, didn’t hear ya and I was in my moment.” She said as she directed her hands around to the once cluttered mess of boxes all being placed in rooms and the kitchen completely unpacked. “ no worries, you work fast though!” Bre just smiled but it didn’t reach her eyes. I knew our last mission and this year vacation would bring up old feelings and ghosts of the past. I just didn’t realize it would be on day one. Deciding to slide on in to the crazy she has in her mind to let her know I’m with her I kick off my shoes slid to the kitchen island,grab a wooden spoon and tell google to turn up 50%. Bre just smiles knowing this is my way of telling her we don’t have to talk about it but I have her back and I’m hear. She grabs a spatula and we continue to sing the rest of the song at full volume. When Lizzos song is over Bre jumps down.”hey google stop playing music”Bre says. “ so do tell about your intel” Bre smiles. I know she’s better but still not 100%. So I roll out my spill as I start taking the food out. Of course the main thing she focuses on in the begging is how he told me to get different food. “ don’t even continue if you didn’t get fried rice we’re going back and getting my rice. Rogues be da*ned”. Bre said as she snatched the food away from me. “ oh shut up your rice is here.” I threw the container at her head. But she quickly caught it and snapped the lid not missing a beat. “ continue” she said with a mouth full of rice. So I spilled everything I learned and how I think Tom could be a way in.

“ So he’s human, and he’s trying to warn people away from the rogues. Kid sounds like a bad a** or an idiot.” Bre mumbled as she sucked down another glass of whine. “ I mean he’s not really a kid he’s maybe twenty and human yes.” I replied. Bre stood up and placed the leftovers into our fridge and walked towards her room in auto pilot. “ Well I got plans tonight and we’ve got plans tomorrow, your mine all day so don’t try and escape me child.” Bre said standing at her bedroom door. “ Remember this child who is just a few years younger will always be that…. Younger.” I smiled as we faced each other while we stood in our own rooms. “ Love you b*tch” Bre smiled. “ you too skank.” We shut out doors and within seconds I could here Bre’s music back on but it wasn’t even loud enough to understand probably just loud enough for me to not hear whatever she was doing or whoever she was talking to. I placed my phone on the charger and looked around my room. It was pretty bland right now and seemed cold. Empty bed , nightstand, and bathroom supplies. I’ll get it straightened out with some sort of something to make it feel more welcoming for the year to come. I grabbed a box labeled clothes and threw it in my closet and headed to the bathroom to unpack my goodies and take a nice hot shower. After I was done taking my shower I came back out to throw a tshirt on and climb into bed. It wasn’t crazy late but I couldn’t stay awake any longer. I was exhausted from today, from the feeling on the plane and last night, then the rush of escaping the Lycan or well Lycans I guess and then the hole rogue Chinese place it’s just been long. I looked over at my phone and saw my screensaver. It was the day Bre and I got our orders for the last mission and year off and I hadn’t seen her smile like that in well over a year. Ever since that jerk broke her and she’s been building herself back up. I smiled listening to Bre’s music flow into my room and while it’s not something I would listen to it also is comforting because it’s her. It’s her living life, it’s her growing and taking the steps back to being happy again. I drifted off smiling myself to sleep at the thought.

I woke up about 2am hearing a strange muffled sound and honestly it being my first night I was a little freaked out. I slowly opened more door and tip toed to Bre’s bedroom door. Her light was still on so I taped on her door. I could here covers moving and it sounded like something slamming shut. “ Yeah” Bre said opening her door. “ hey I heard a noise and wanted to make sure you were ok “ I quickly spit out before she shut the door. As soon as she had opened it I could feel her rage and her hurt.. Ty. That jerk Ty had hurt my best friend and burned her for life.

**two years ago**

Missy

“Thank Heavens that’s one less mission! I feel like I’ve been on one non stop for weeks heck maybe even months dude I need a break. My muscles are starting to be rock solid and not when I’m flexing. They’re in constant defense mode.” I grumbled.” I just got to stay busy, but Ty’s back this week so no more missions until mission make up for lost times with Ty is complete!” Bre smiled. Oh thank heavens moon goddess and God himself! I don’t think I could handle another week. As soon as Ty took off for his last mission and the his year off Bre signed us up for everything slayer possible. Her reasoning was to stay busy but also I think she was trying to get close to our year vacation that way we could be done with it and she could be back here home with Ty. Bre disappeared for a few days and I didn’t hear or see her next door until the day of his chosen ritual. Our friend Rose the witch had told us that in all her meetings with the heads she was basically informed that if he stayed and slayed then Bre was destined to be his chosen. I stood next to Bre holding her hand and pretty positive by the way she was eye f**king Ty he had definitely taken her VCard. We stood hand in hand waiting for all the Slayers to make choices and clapping and congratulating those picked to be chosen mate of a slayer that was now back home with us when Ty’s name was called. He was the last to go today and Bre was beaming with pride. “ Ty Ramos you were selected for final mission R210 in Vegas, mission wolf. You handled the mission and delivered the head in two days time and comities on your vacation holiday for exactly 365 days. You now stand before your family of slayers and are asked for your choice. Do not forget your options. You have the option to Slay and be a slayer living a king happy life and we’ve chosen your chosen mate and she will be given to you tonight if she accepts, or you have the choice to live and die as human with no memories of Slayer and council. What is your choice?”Ty smiled and found Bre in the crowd and I was just as Aw struck as the rest of the crowd when he smiled and she nodded to confirm to him that she wouldn’t deanie him if she was the choice it was made her mind she would live die and breathe in between with Ty. Then his innocent smile dropped and an evil grin almost played on his lips it came and went so fast I almost thought I imagined it. Then he spoke “ I pick option three to live and die by thee and come again another day free from lies and deception sorry my sleep will hurt the heart but the mind will never fail.” Ty picked up the ceremony knife and slashed his own throat gurgling out a few noises that I’m sure were words and fell to the ground. Bre’s scream was so loud next to me I felt the blood trickle down my ear. She broke three bonds in my hand and believe me I felt every single one of them as I took a knee with her and tried to hold her into my arms. That was the first and the last time I saw her cry and that was the night her visions started and Great Grandma Jo told us to keep them hidden and a secret until we couldn’t any longer.

*** end flash back***

“It’s fine Missy I wasn’t crying or holding anything in or back trust me go to bed.” “But” “ No buts Missy I’m fine” and Bre slammed the door shut and there was that noise again. Where the heck is it coming from ? I stood in the living room looking around trying to decide if I wanted food or sleep when Bre opened her door and stuck her head out. “ ok I heard it that time. That wasn’t you?” Bre asked and I just shook my head. “ listen Missy yeah I’m mad and have some rage going on in my room and I saw your fear and anger I’m sure reliving the 5,000 times you saved me since that day but I promise that noise is t from my room and I’m well busy on my laptop.” She smirked and I just shrugged my shoulders and walked to my room. “ night” I told Bre and shut my door. I wasn’t mad I was just tired. I’ve helped her through every step of her getting over Ty. I’ve done the missions, the hunts, I’ve held her down in a drunken state of what is the world coming to and I don’t want to be here anymore, and I’ve made a complete i***t out of myself at bars and party’s for her. She doesn’t seem to care what it’s done to me lately or maybe she thinks since she’s better I’m fine. I guess I will be.

I can’t remember what exactly was happening but I awoke because of my own scream and I was covered in sweat. Bre came flying in yet again with a sword. As I caught my breath I saw Bre and took the time to regulate my breath. What on earth is she wearing? And is that a whip hanging from her hip? I’m pretty sure that’s a whip and she’s got electrical tape for n*****s? What the actual *#*k! I could t hold it back I bursted into tears laughing wheezing. Calmn down warrior princess I’m fine what are you doing or what were you doing. I was now wheezing and Bre was still in attack mode looking for danger. “ cut the crap Missy why’d you scream who was in here I skin them alive while I fry their” she could t finish once she realized nobody was here and I was raving to the bathroom screaming “I’m gunna pee what the heck BreBre “!

After our crazy morning we were now sitting in the kitchen discuss or rather debating our plans for the day.” We need furniture, our rooms are set up but we have nothing for the living room or food for the kitchen” Bre stated. “ I know I know and a job and the mission so we can be free for a year”. I get a little frustrated because I’m still tired and my lungs hurt like I’ve been a 30 year smoker running a 5k. “ ok you can go to that cafe close by and get coffe while I get ready so you’ll come back to the world of the living and then we will go shopping and look some more into the rogues around lunch. How’s that?” Bre asked. I was already up grabbing some cash and walking to the door in agreement as soon as I heard cafe. “ sounds great I’ll grab breakfast for you.” I yelled out as I shut the door to the condo and walked quickly to the elevator. As the doors opened and I stepped in I tapped my foot and bounced a little getting uneasy for some reason. When the doors finally opened I rushed out and into the street with my phone in hand so I could map out exactly where I was going. I had the sudden urge to sniff the air and look around to find who was looking at me when the feeling of home hit me and I smiled. I just took it as a sign of a happy year and smiled to myself as I quickened my pace singing a little tune to myself skipping to the cafe at the thought of coffee. I entered the cafe and was immediately hit with the most mouth watering smell of coffee and home that I’ve ever smelled and lifter my head to take it all in. The place was packed and the line was almost out the door. I saw a woman call me over so I assumed she was opening another line. I walked straight up to here and instantly stilled. She smelled of something else and there was a flicker in her eye as I gave her my order and name. “$17.56” is all she said but she was eyeing me the same way I was eyeing her. Great she knew I was different just like I knew she was. This could be bad or even worse this could be war. I waited for my name to be called when my order was up and when I heard my name it almost sounded like a whisper. I walked up to the counter and grabbed my items when the same woman grabbed my hand and said “ be safe honey you could fit and I’d hate to never see you again”. Ok awkward it feels like she knows about the rogues too. How deep does this run and who all knows and is doing nothing about this? I just smiled and gave her a nod and was out the door rushing back to Bre but when I arrived at the condo Bre was already outside with the car complaining about how some i***t peed on her passenger tire and now we needed to wash the car today too! I jumped in and handed her a bagel and coffee black just the way she liked it. I sipped my coffee lost in thought about all these strange feelings and all the warnings from Tom and then the coffee chick that I completely zoned out and didn’t realize we even got to our location until Bre was outside of the car taping on my window. I smiled and undid my belt and climbed out.Bre and I made our way through a cute little shop grabbing area rugs and small items to make our condo feel like home we ordered a sofa and two chairs to be delivered to the condo later today. Now that we got what we needed we decided to goof off and have a little fun while we searched for odds and ends of decorations. “ floors lava” I yelled at Bre while we were in the bathroom area and Bre jumped inside of a bathtub like her foot was literally in fire and I sat on a toilet laughing and smiling while I could see Bre coming up with a plan to get me back. I was bending down to grab a cute little rug when Bre smacked my behind and yelled “Tag” and took off running. I was rounding the isle when k smacked right into a customer and landed in a box full of dog beds when I heard Bre laughing and wheezing for air. I looked across from me to see her hiding in a dang shelf and I lost it and joined in on her laughter. The woman I almost ran over smiled and shook her head as she helped me out of the box and Bre climbed out of her hiding space. “ I hope you guys don’t find this to forward but I’d like to give you my card. We’re hiring at my work and I’ve seen you two have an absolute blast throughout this shop and you seem like some really fun girls I wouldn’t mind working with.” She stated as she grabbed a business card and handed it to me. “ awesome because we were going job hunting today” Bre replied when my face lost all color. This was not just any night club this was THE night club and they had dancers and s**t girls, the hole nine yards. Bre saw my reaction and took the card from my hands. This girl handing me the card didn’t look like a stripper. She looked sweet and innocent, maybe even a little shy. How and why on earth is she working there? “ Listen I can see by your face your not 100% ok with this but seriously just come to the open interviews tonight. See the place in action. You don’t have to be a dancer or shot girl to work. They’ve got several opening since the boss just came back and cleaned house this morning letting go of anyone who he considered was taking it too far or wasn’t what he wanted as an image of his club”.She almost looked nervous. “ heck yeah can I be a bouncer? I’d like e to throw people out!” Bre smiled at the girl. She had an innocent face and red hair with freckles and glasses. “ well I’m not the boss but I’m sure he could find something you’d like even if it wasn’t a bouncer” she smiled. “ names Lexie” she said shaking Bre’s hand then mine while I sat there silently trying to wrap my mind around this job offer. While he’s it was just an interview but could I do it? Could I not take shot to disappear and run away like I do every night when it gets too overwhelming in a club. Could I dress like they wanted and be comfortable enough to do so with my body every night. I mean we’ve heard about working at this club it’s the club of all clubs and the money is insane. “ what time Lex can I call you Lex?” Bre asked the innocent redhead. “ darlin you can call me Lexie , Lex, L heck I answer to it all but only if you promise to come hear me out.” Lexie smiled she knew she had Bre and dang it that meant me too. “ what do we wear tonight?” I grumbled when Lexie turned and smiled at me. “ Aug you could come in a paper bag and be hired with those looks and that body you couldn’t hide a day in your life.” I grinned thinking this chick had no idea. As she placed her hand on my shoulder instilled as all sorts of images flashed in my head but they were so fast I couldn’t pin point any of them. I knew one thing tho she wasn’t all human rather she knew it or not she was something else. I glanced at Bre for her to give me a quizzical look and shrug. “ time” I asked. “9:30 pm our interviews and if you make it past both boss one and two and enjoy the atmosphere you’re hired.” She smiled. Crap. This is happening. “ 9:30 got it see you then.” Bre quickly spat out dragging me away before I could tell the lady no thanks.

As wel walked into the mall because Bre insisted we needed good karma and new vibes for this interview I was in my head wondering about the mission trying not to think about dressing up and actually trying for a job. It didn’t excite me like it did Bre but after a few shops and several twirls in outfits I finally decided I could be ok and make it through and interview. Just because I went didn’t mean I had to take it right? Right! Then it hit me. Coffee , the best mocha Carmel coffee that smelt expensive yet like a fall morning and I froze. But just as quick as I smelled it it was gone. How could coffee just disappear? Bre came smiling around the corner with about ten bags. “ And DONE” she grinned. “ good let’s go.” I said switching directions to head to the car. As we walked outside I felt the sun hit my face and immediately felt warmth then felt like I was being watched again. I didn’t even bother looking around this time and just walked straight to the car. We needed to get back for our delivery of furniture and get ready for the interview.

As we got dressed after tipping the furniture guys we walked out to do a catwalk for each other and see what the other one thinks. “ Bre what do you have in I thought you wanted to be a body guard?” I questioned. “ hey this outfit could be kick a*s or get n8ked either works.” She giggled “ and you?” “ what I thought this was bartender ish?” “ oh well in that case let’s go!” It was 9:15 and the club was basically attached to our condo just in a different wing just like the casino. We walked into the club and coffee smell hit me like a ton of bricks but this time it was so close. Was it a Vegas thing? Then I saw a man slowly turn instantly making me wet to my core and I immediately clinched my legs together as I saw him tilt his head in the air and sniff. Crap he wasn’t human. He knew I found him se*y as h*ll.
