SADIE.

I should have known he wouldn't keep such documents at home. What if the records aren’t even in a file? What if he has them backed up on a storage device or cloud?

Striding out of his office, I unbutton my shirt. The dog barks repeatedly, hopping so I see him, and when I glance his way, he calms down.

“Can you talk?” I ask, making a face at the dog, and it shakes its head.

Okay, he understands. I know to be quiet around him now. I’m sure Emmett won’t have a useless pet.

“Do you think he’s going to return home tonight?” I ask, and he barks.

I don't know if that bark means yes or no.

“Let’s do it like this: if you think he's coming back home tonight, hop to the left. If he won’t be returning home tonight, hop forward. Do you understand?” I ask, pressing my palms to my waist as I move closer to the door.

It barks.

Okay.

“Hop left!” He does. “Now, right!” He does.

Okay, cool!

“Is he coming back home tonight?” I ask, and he makes a whistling sound before hopping to the left.

Okie.

  • Assassinate The Alpha   PREFACE

    “Assassinate the Alpha.” His instructions were clear and easy. Easy because it was me. I had taken down strong men and powerful women. Men who never thought they could be taken down. Taking them down was not easy either but again it was because it is me.Men stood no chance where I stood. There are older men and even women in our club. Yet I joined six months ago and I have taken down more than each has in the last thirty years since my father founded the organization. I overheard people in the organization murmur and gossip among themselves that my father trained me differently, but that was where they missed it. My father never trained me. In fact he did not want me anywhere close to the organization. He said multiple times that he wanted a normal life for me. That I am a happy girl with the nature of a sunflower – I was always happy. Which is an absolute contrast to my name if you take out the two latter words.The keyword is WAS. My happiness is a thing of the past now. Every feel

  • Assassinate The Alpha   1: The Conversation

    SADIE.“Your father is waiting for you.” My aunt, Kitra informs me as I walk in.Fu.ck the fact that I know every single word he is about to spew, and although I regard no one. He is the only person I respect and take orders from. I am about to be questioned on my first failure and I think I owe nobody an explanation. Not even the person I respect the most.“Okay.” I respond, and walk past her as I head straight for his tacky study which he refers to as his best part of the large house.Taking off my gloves, I drop them on the floor and knock before entering without his response. Super annoying how this man in his late sixties still has women messing around him. Not a surprise because he plays a better sugar daddy than they could imagine. And his looks are a hundred and ten over hundred. “Get out.” I say to the wench who is seated comfortably on his desk. “Who is she?” She asks, as she runs her red manicured nails from his Adam's apple to his exposed chest as she eyes me. “You hear

    SADIE.Three Hours Earlier.In my six months of experience, the top people never live in an easy area. They live in either a suite in a penthouse, or some villa seated in the middle of a large area of land covered in forestations to hide themselves properly. Some live in maybe neither a villa nor a suite in a penthouse, but at least a nice house – some building close to what you can call a mansion in a likely neighborhood. Some had to be killed in the middle of their pleasures in a hotel room, but from the building across. You should know the drill but in any case not, read on.Just because they lived in a suite somewhere in one of the floors of a penthouse, or even the penthouse itself. Or some villa in the middle of nowhere. Or maybe some kind of mansion in a likely neighborhood with tight security, did not make it easy for them to be killed. Each time for any of the supposed person destined to die, I had mapped out and planned all on my own and succeeded. All I ever had to hear

    SADIEFOUR HOURS LATER.It always, like it always has to rain this day of every year. And I in all honesty, I have never minded but tonight’s feels like I am being punished for coming too late. If this heavy downpour is my punishment, it is not enough. No it is not. I should be struck by thunder or something more. I got carried away by my loss today. Him causing a raise to my heart, adrenaline aside. Not only is he the first person I failed to kill, but he made me feel something I hate to admit.“I brought flowers. I am sorry.” I whisper-cry as I kneel on the wet grass.Placing the flower on her name engraved on the stone, I pull the weeds around her grave with my hands. “I wish I was the one six feet under and not you.” I mutter as I continue plucking out the weeds.“Not only did I almost commit the gravest sin by forgetting to come here, I lost today. I failed to kill the Alpha guy. I do not know why he is being called an alpha. He is just some ordinary man. I could snap his fuck.

  • Assassinate The Alpha   4: Kill Order 1xxx.

    SADIE.Love?The most misused word. A word that invokes unnecessary bondage and responsibility. Might be hypocritical of me to say it since my drive to every successful kill and being the best agent in the organization is the LOVE I have for my sister. What is the very point of getting into something more when nothing lasts forever? Why waste so much time falling in love and trying to please a partner in the name of love? Why are people willing to get married with the intention of starting a family? Children are great, but why bring them into chaos and also create a weakness for one’s self? Say they were unbreakable before, now with just a mere threat to their lives the parents switch to more than a broken glass.“Get out.” I say as calmly as I can let out, my head is currently like it is about to split apart. “Sadie, please.” Matt pleads.“Get out.” I can feel myself twitching from my irritation, but one more credit to the list of too many things I can do is control.“You are one

  • Assassinate The Alpha   5: Maybe A Mate

    THIRD PERSON’S POINT OF VIEW.Alpha Emmett sits in his study with his business partners who are also his Beta and Gamma respectively as he requested their presence. His anger, less prominent than it had been initially after he felt deceived. He is a man of peace. A man who hates to be lied to. A man who loves his people and respects them as much as he can because no one can beat the respect the members of the pack have for him.“Who could have sent her?” Cullen, his best friend asks as he paces back and forth continuously.“Should the question be who sent her or why Emmett let her go? He could have easily killed her right from the moment he saw her and Shell did not bark.” Liam, the Gamma replies.The latter question makes Emmett groan internally, he knew he kind of messed up but he has no regret whatsoever that he did not kill her. He knows he will be lying to himself if he says he never wants to see her again. He in fact wants her at this event.“Was she that beautiful? Were her curv

  • Assassinate The Alpha   6: The Weekend

    SADIE.The violin play of an emotional baroque plays as people discuss quietly amongst each other. Some smile, and many keep on stoic expressions while they speak. The man who I am here for seems to be carried away by the attention he is giving to the very beautiful woman dressed in a purple cocktail dress, while I sip the few drops of red wine in my glass.“You love the music, right? I saw the way you shut your eyes while sipping the wine,” a voice says, forcing my gaze to shift from the Alpha.“You should see right ahead,” I say loud enough for just him to hear as I exchange my empty glass with a new one on the waiter’s tray.“I cannot see anyone else but you,” he pesters, causing me to hiss.I could let him follow me stupidly then knock him out in the hallway or I could just end him.“What is your name? I have never seen you around,” he continues.“No,” I get distracted by Emmett’s conversation with a man in a tuxedo whose smile is very contagious.“Anyone who attends this event sur

  • Assassinate The Alpha   7: The Basement

    SADIE.I do not need to open my eyes or wiggle my numb hands to know what this is. It is cold, way too cold probable around a degree Celsius or even less. I would wear a warm jacket and even a hat and gloves, take that I also feel the wind brushing past my goosebump-ed skin.I can tell where I am, I have tortured people in basements before and aunt Kitra trained me in my father’s basement. If this place does not give a basement even though I am yet to confirm, the crack sounds made from a burning wood to keep this place warm enough to some extent is enough to out what the place is.I will not give him what he expects. Not a whimper, not even a struggle with the zip ties chaffing raw into my wrist as I breathe in and out. What I know is until I avenge Esther, I cannot die. His death has been paid for and I will end up killing him. Moreso now, that he has marked me weak even in my own eyes by being able to have me strapped against a metal ch

    EMMETT.“Hold on,” I say to Cullen, taking my phone off my ear as I open the door.I can almost swear that someone touched this handle. I am not wrong—Qet’s peach scent wafts through my senses. She’s here.The lights come on, and of course, she is nowhere in sight.“I will be with you all shortly. I forgot the flash drive,” I return the phone to my ear.“We are waiting. Liam has a lot of complaints to pass across. Whatever Jasmine did to have him as a puppy rather than the Gamma that he is...” Liam is forever hating on people in relationships.At this point, the pack needs to find him a wife.“I smell jealousy,” I remark, inching closer to my desk.She’s either beneath the desk or hiding behind the swivel chair.“I don’t care enough to be jealous. I am hanging up.” He ends the call as he has said.The drive is in the drawer. If I get to the drawer, I will blow up her little stunt. I want to tell her to breathe, but I can leave so she breathes.

  • Assassinate The Alpha   47: I Hate To Share

    SADIECullen leaves, not bothering to bid Emmett goodbye as I return to the living room, cradling her—my hand against my chest. But Emmett’s sharp eyes catch the crimson seeping through my finger before I can put my hand behind me.In an instant, he’s in front of me, his drink abandoned on the table, his hands reaching out for mine.“What happened?” His voice is low, but the unmistakable edge beneath reveals he has an idea of who might have hurt me.Cullen is a heartless fool. He feigned the oversight. He certainly saw my finger bleed, but he can’t acknowledge it. Maybe Emmett will kill him.“It’s not a big deal,” I respond, trying to pull away.“Don’t,” he murmurs, his grip firm yet gentle as he opens my hand. His jaw tightens at the sight. “Cullen?”It’s as deep as it hurts.My decided silence ticks a muscle in his perfect jaw, but he refrains from the anger, inhaling slowly, controlling it. Without another word, I allow him to lead me to the couch.He pulls me down beside him, his

    SADIE.“Guess who finally walked in through the door properly this time,” Cullen remarks as I walk into Emmett’s living room with two trolley bags.“I believe that is not how you intend to be with your Alpha’s wife.” As the words roll off my tongue, Emmett chokes on the drink he was about to swallow, and Liam grins.“You gave us a scare. We looked for you all over. Emmett even called your father, who said he knew nothing about your whereabouts. We tried calling too—nothing. It’s good to see you. Congratulations on your engagement to Emmett,” Liam says, packing up his laptop and phone. “Now, I can head home to my wife,” he adds, standing up.“Thank you so much, Liam. I will see your wife tomorrow or the next. I appreciate her kind gesture,” I respond, walking towards Cullen, who stands too. “Can I see you for a moment, please, Cullen?”“Sure,” he responds, his eyes following me as I walk towards Emmett to cup his face.“Hi, soon-to-be husband. Just a few seconds, and we will have the r

    SADIE.I glance at the mirror one more time, ensuring my eyes are not giving me away anymore, and draw in a deep breath. I stretch my fingers and nod repeatedly.“Fake it till you make it, Siyah. One thing you have always done is pick yourself up at all times. This is just a minor setback you can overcome!” I murmur and turn away.I am not running. If I run, I will call more attention to myself. Even if the world is coming to an end, and I necessarily have to end up with a man, it cannot be Matthew. I cannot spend the rest of my life with a man who isn’t as— how do I phrase my words? I cannot be with a man that is not Emmett.Emmett is the instigator of Esther’s death, so I am not marrying any man except him.I will break him slowly. Go through every and any extent to stay so close to him, and when the time is right, he will regret ever loving me.My father doesn’t want me at the agency anyway. I have also been on and off at the law firm. All I have left is my ten-year life warranty sa

  • Assassinate The Alpha   44: Esther, XOXO.

    SADIE.Dear Sadie,Hey, I know it will be a mess writing that I hope this letter finds you well because you think without me, there is nothing absolutely well with you, but I assure you dear sister that it is indeed well without me even though you are not seeing it now. By the time you’re reading this letter, I believe you are more than old enough to comprehend everything here. I am hoping by the end of this letter you are not shaking your head in disagreement to the content of this letter. I hope that as you read this letter you do as I say because like you used to say, ‘anything Esther says is right.’ I hope that hasn’t changed about you and you still believe in my words. After all, I am mom’s guardian angel for you. I made this decision but know that our father and aunt Kitra had the most difficult time accepting it. In fact, it took our dad almost two weeks to finally accept it. He thought he could come up with solutions, but it happened that he could not co

  • Assassinate The Alpha   43: Killer Wolf

    EMMETT.The poisons?Sadie cannot possibly be one. As much as I want to defend the impossibilities, I cannot. I have not known her long enough to defend her, even if I care about her and somehow, she found her way to me from the very first time I noticed her eyes gawking at my stark upper body while I prepared a meal.Could it be that what Dawson has been trying to protect her from is so she doesn’t become prey? I hate to be baffled, but Cullen might be right. The only stronger substance that can kill a wolf faster than wolfsbane, silver, or decapitation is the blood of the killer wolf.A wolf whose blood mutated in the womb. Could it be that Esmeralda died because she was pregnant with a child that fought with her immune system? Could that be the reason Dawson doesn’t fancy her and treats her like business?I wish I could stop overthinking, but I cannot. Why should I be fixed in a position where I have to choose between my pack and my wife if I test Cullen’s allegations about her? Th

    SADIE.What do men think of themselves? I hate how he is able to get a reaction out of me. I meant both of them... maybe especially the one I might still end up killing. I will kill him, then kill myself. I still can’t believe my mood changed because he was pissed. Why do I even care if he’s pissed or not? I don’t care. I can trace my anger to Matt. He was slightly offensive as well. What does he mean by "he knows me well"? No one knows me. If anyone knew me, they’d know this isn’t where I want to be. This isn’t what I want to be doing. I am only doing this because I have to keep doing something. I do it, I complain, but it doesn’t stop me from doing what I want. If at any point a man thinks he can entangle my life with a life-long marriage, that man is deceiving himself. Mate bond or not, I own and control my life. I grew up human, I didn’t ask to not be one. Somehow, according to the books, I won’t be dying young—I hate that already.“You announced your engagement to him successf

    EMMETT.“They already love you,” Prime minister remarks, standing next to me as he swirls the drink in his glass.“You seem more excited,” I respond, and drown the rest of the alcohol in my glass, in hopes that it somehow gets to me tonight.“You have no idea how much weight you will be lifting off my shoulders by taking this job. The danger that comes with having to be everyone’s friend when a friend to all is not any—if it’s for that alone, I’m happy to leave this position. It felt good while it lasted,” he replies as his eyes scans over the chatty crowd repeatedly.“You still have a few weeks as the prime minister. I’m not in a hurry, and we are still very good friends.” I drop the empty glass and take another from the passing waiter.“It’s a pity Dawson decided to leave our circle to be a man of his own,” he says, and I follow his line of sight.It’s Dawson, not so excited to be speaking to the woman who seems all smiley as she talks to him, making me interested in hearing what sh
