Fated To The Sigma Assassin FIFTEEN
Before Dinner,AVA I was comfortable, more at ease than I'd been in a while. The warmth of Keegan's body was soothing, so was his scent. I closed my eyes, listening to the rythm of his heartbeat. "Don't you want to return to your home?" Keegan asked. "I don't know... I'm starting to really like it here" I responded. Keegan's phone buzzed and he picked it up. I watched his reaction as he read the message. He suddenly sat up, moving me away from his body. "Is something wrong?" I asked. He forced out a smile and kissed me on the lips. "It's nothing. I'll be back. I need to use the bathroom" he said and left the room. I quietly eyed his phone. I didn't want to probe. But, I couldn't help my curiosity. So, I picked it up and peered at the message that had just popped up. My eyes widened when I realised who the message had come from. Clenching my fists, I returned the phone to it's former position. I frowned, wondering why Keegan was keeping it to himself. "He won't suddenly ret

KEEGAN "Look who's here," Shade drawled, her tone laced with mockery. I clenched my fists but kept my face blank. "Talk about such unyielding brotherly love. Who would have known that you would show up just because of your sister?" She continued, leaning back on her seat. I knew she would continue to rub it in my face if I let her, so I spoke. "That's enough. I'm here now. Where's my sister?" I droned. Shade snickered. She rose to her feet and walked towards the large window in the office. "Not so fast, Key. Let's strike a deal, why don't we?" "What deal?" "A deal that will favour the both of us."My patience was wearing thin. I didn't want to think because if I did, my regret and guilt would hit me hard. Handling Shade was something that required my concentration. Shade turned to look at me, her silver eyes gleaming."Become my soldier and I'll send your sister to you." I froze. "Your sister is close by, you know? Once you agree to this deal, I'll bring her in here."

AVA "Are you alright?"Hearing the sound of Darian's voice made me wipe away my falling tears in a hurry. I didn't want him to know how much my heart hurt. Keegan whom I hadn't seen in two months was tied up in the basement. Not only did he seem to be out of his senses, he seemed to have become an entirely different person. "I can feel it, you know? Your frustration and pain are obvious. You don't have to hide them from me," Darian whispered. Slowly, I turned around to face him. When I saw the soft expression on his face, my knees gave out. He grabbed me to steady me. Eventually, the tears began to flow. "What do I do, Darian? How do I handle this?" I cried. Darian stroked my hair and held me close to himself. He was my comfort. After Keegan's disappearance, he was the only person I could really lean on. I hadn't returned to my pack because I had been afraid that my pain would swallow me whole. "You can handle this. I know you can," Darian whispered. A servant approached us

AVA He lay motionless on the bed, his face pallid. I rushed to his side, my panic nearly shooting through the roof. I grabbed at his shoulders, willing him to move, to say something. He was limp like a broken doll, strands of his hair resting on his face. I bent over to listen for signs of a beating heart, but heard none. It was at this point that my knees gave out. Letting out a cry of dismay, my legs lost their strength, and I sank to the ground, still clutching at his forearm. "Ava! Look! He's breathing!" Darian's voice pierced right through my consciousness, snapping me back into reality. I stared at the unfolding scene before me, confused. Keegan was curled up into a ball but he was breathing. Judging by the trash can on the floor, he seemed to have vomited. Darian was sitting by his side, patting his back. I hadn't moved to Keegan's side, I realised. I had been standing by the door, my imaginations holding me captive for a few terrifying seconds.I brought my shaky hands t

DARIAN They all seemed to have prepared to push me into this. My father must have discussed it with them. "Your Highness, are you listening to us?" Terius, one of the chief counsel spoke, his pale brows creased up.My uninterested gaze swept across the court room while they stared at me, awaiting my final decision. I desired to be anywhere but here at the moment. I wondered what Ava was up to. I hoped she was getting along with Keegan, just fine. "Your Highness?"I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. They all seemed to be calm, but I could tell from the look in their eyes. Their patience was wearing thin. "So, you want me to get married to the daughter of general Troye?" I said. "In essence, it is to ensure the security of our people" one of the elders stressed. I didn't think so. In fact, I was not interested in marrying just anybody. My mates were all I needed. "Your father is aware of your scandalous visits to hotels and clubs. Your relationship with women has alwa

AVA The strange woman in Darian's office, stared at me with amusement written all over her face. I kept my expression impassive as I headed towards Darian's desk and placed his tea on the table. I hoped I'd misheard her statement."Hmm... this is interesting. How does she know your favourite tea?" the strange woman asked my mate. He stared at me, unblinking, barely paying any attention to her. When he didn't give her a response, she probed further. It was at this point that I decided that I really didn't like her. She was obviously a vampire of high class. The fact that there was a sparkle in her eyes, each time she spoke to Darian was another thing that made me dislike her even more. Nonetheless, I knew that if she found out who I was to Darian, she would stir up trouble."Darian? Who is she?" She asked, resting a hand on Darian's shoulder. My wolf growled in my head. She didn't like the idea of another woman touching our mate. "She's just a maid" Darian responded, still fi

KEEGAN The tension in the air did not fade. Ava stood in the corner of Darian's study, her head lowered. I bet she was embarrassed because Darian's visitor had seen her in her provocative maid costume. On the other hand, I was more embarrassed. This was new to me. Getting embarrassed over a kiss wasn't something I'd experienced before. For some reason, Darian didn't appear bothered. Infact, he seemed more satisfied like never before."Are you going to tell me what this is about or do I have to do some digging?" said the vampire whose name was Caspian.Darian leaned back on his seat, a smug grin tugging at his lips. His gaze found mine and grew heated. There was something about his gaze that made me want to claim his lips again. "I don't have to explain anything to you" Darian stated as his gaze drifted away and rested on Caspian. Caspian turned around to glance at us causing Ava to sink further into the corner. He smirked and turned away. "From what I see here, there's so

AVA The silent hostility between Keegan and Venom was somewhat deafening. Poor Hayley was curled up into my side, her face as white as sheets. I felt sorry for her. Every few minutes, she would whimper, a shiver running through her. Her condition had taken a painful dive. According to Venom, he'd been desperate to find me because Hayley's life force was quickly diminishing. "Are you sure that Hayley is not just an excuse for you to see Ava again?" Keegan said, his arms folded across his chest. Venom's eyes darkened, his lips set in a grim line. "Keegan, stop it. She's obviously in a terrible condition," I said. "I can clearly see that. However, my last memory of him..." "Let's not bring that up, okay? It was in the past. Now, I have not one but two mates. There's no possibility of me getting kissed by anyone else," I said. Confusion flashed in Venom's eyes, his brows furrowed. "What do you mean by two mates?" He asked."Why do you think we live in the apartment of a vampire?

KEEGAN My mates stared at me with incredulity written all over their faces. It was quite understandable, especially since I'd gone off the grid without warning and returned a while later looking like I'd just fought with a group of ninjas. I'd refused to believe it either. My sister didn't know who I was anymore. "I don't understand. How did you find her?" Ava asked, her brows furrowed. "The list was very helpful," I replied and Darren wrinkled his nose at me."You should wash off all that blood," he said through gritted teeth. His eyes were starting to alternate between red and black.Ava cursed under breath, bringing a hand to Darren's chest. "Keegan, don't just stand there," she said and I grimaced."There's one more thing --" I started to say but was interrupted by the a loud thud which came from inside the apartment. "What was that?" Darren asked, his eyes narrowed. "I might've brought her along with me," I stated and my mates stared at me with puzzled expressions on

AVA Darian didn't answer my calls. I hadn't intended to stay away from him while he mourned. He was the heir apparent to the throne. Therefore, he had to stay in the palace to prepare for his coronation.Unable to keep myself away from him anymore, I'd decided to go to the palace to see him. It was risky business, but I needed to see him to make sure he was doing okay. Slipping past the royal guards was quite a complex task. And, while I managed to enter the palace halls unseen, my heart was thumping rapidly. My anxiety peaked, unease gnawing at my insides. Silence hung heavy in the air. The palace seemed more eerie than I'd expected. To make sure I didn't raise any suspicion among the guards, I ambushed one of the maids and quickly changed my clothes. Now dressed as a maid, I made my way to the inner court, and by chance, I saw the royal chamber. Written on the door in gold were the words, 'His Majesty's Chamber.'Two stoic guards were stationed along the passageway, swords in

DARIAN The moment I stepped into the palace, the pressure on my chest increased. I was way too tense for comfort. It had nothing to do with my poor health. I just couldn't recall the last time my father had asked to have dinner with me. "Welcome, your majesty," the guards stationed in front of the courtyard greeted. "Where's my father?" I asked."He's in the courtyard. Dinner preparations has been made," one of them responded, his head lowered. When I walked into the courtyard, my eyes widened at the sight of the unfamiliar setting. Warm fairy lights illuminated the yard, and arranged on the table was a whole feast of delicacies. My father, seated on a golden chair at the rear end of the table, gestured at the chair on the opposite end with a smile on his face. My father's smile was just as rare as his invitation.When he spoke, his voice was surprisingly gentle."What are you waiting for? Sit down." Quietly, I took my seat, my gaze meeting my father's again."We used to h

AVA Darian stirred as I dabbed his forehead with a damp towel. Four hours had slipped by since we returned home. Keegan had fallen silent. He was sitting by the window, staring at the sunlit afternoon sky. I knew he was taking his time to process his feelings about the whole thing that had happened a few hours before. "He's not dead yet, Keegan" Darian suddenly said, his eyes still closed. "You're awake" Keegan stated, rising to his feet. Darian opened his eyes, his brows furrowed slightly."I was never asleep. I couldn't. Especially not when your mind is unsettled" he said, his gaze trained on Keegan."How do you know that? I was sure I blocked-" Keegan started to say."You probably succeeded in hiding your feelings from Ava. However, you failed to completely block me out" Darian cut him off.Keegan sighed, running his fingers through the locks of his hair."How're you feeling? The poison must be lethal if you're still feeling the effects.""Don't change the topic " Darian brea

KEEGAN Terror seized me, it's suffocating grip unyielding. Darian was lying in my arms, gasping for air. Right before my eyes, Ava had just been abducted by Bloody Martyr. "No... what do I... what do I do?" I breathed, black dots swarming around the edges of my vision. "Fucking snap out of it, Creed!" a familiar voice yelled, grabbing me by the shoulder. My wide eyed gaze met Venom's. His brows were furrowed, his eyes darkened with fury. "My mates...I need to save them...I can't..."A slice of pain exploded on my cheek, my head jerking to the side with the impact of Venom's thunderous slap. I closed my eyes, tasting the metallic taste of blood in my mouth. "I said, snap out of it" he growled, his eyes glowing red. "We need to get the poison out of his Majesty's system." "How do we do that?" I breathed, staring down at Darian who was evidently in a lot of pain. Before I could process Venom's next action, he'd slashed across the inside of Darian's left wrist with his claws.

AVA I couldn't bring myself to succumb to my exhaustion no matter how many times my heavy lidded eyelids slipped close. Darian's fever had reduced a little, but it wasn't enough to make me feel relieved. His face was still much paler than it usually was and his skin was damp with a sheen of sweat. I turned to look at Keegan who was standing by the window, his arms folded across his chest. His brows were furrowed, his shoulders tense. Behind him, I could see the rising sun through the open window. "You can go to sleep. I'll watch over him" he said. I shook my head, rubbing my eyes. "I don't want to. I have to stay by his side" I mumbled. Keegan sighed and walked up to me. "He's no ordinary vampire, you know? He's going to be fine"Keegan didn't understand. I just couldn't shake off the feeling. It was a sickening feeling, one that felt like a wet blanket. "We've never seen him in this state, you know that too. Keegan, he could barely walk. What if..."He crouched in front of

DARIAN I felt physically sick. I couldn't help but notice everything. The wine, the lights, the decor, the fake smiles, the fancy dresses and suits...At this point, everything sickened me.Probing stares were constantly sent my way and every few minutes, a guest would approach me to whisper congratulatory words in my ear. My skin crawled and my stomach churned with discomfort. But, there I was, seated beside my fiancee in an impromptu engagement party which had more attendees than I'd hoped. The thought of actually marrying Astoria was consuming me. Even worse, I couldn't stop picturing the look on Ava's face when she would discover it. I'd assured Keegan that I was going to avoid my marriage with Astoria in whatever way possible. Nevertheless, it was easier said than done. "Is everything okay? You don't look so good" Astoria said to me, her brows furrowed. When I didn't give her a response, her frown was replaced by a big smile. "Is Darian the great already experiencing

Several years ago,KEEGAN Coughing into the palm of my hands, I doubled over as pain racked my skull, black spots dancing across my eyes. I stumbled forward, reaching out to rest my hand on the tree in front of me. My chest hurt. "Are you alright?"a masculine voice said. I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut. At this rate, I would collapse soon. Shade's venom was tearing away at my defences, not even my healing abilities were helping. In her fit of rage, she had injured me with her claws. This was because I'd failed to complete my mission. Now, I had no choice but to find my targets and finish them off. Shade had given me two days to do this. "Do you need help?" the voice continued.I parted my lips to drag in air into my lungs but ended up choking on my blood. I gasped for air, coughing and sputtering as I fell to my knees. A large hand rubbed my back in small circles. I lifted my head to look at this person and found him staring at me with an eye full of concern. His left eye

AVA Darian was pissed. It was written all over his face. The weight of his power grew, causing the vampires who were holding me captive to tremble. I was in awe of how powerful my mate was. When he snatched the knife out of the grip of one of the vampires, his movement was a blur. Keegan grabbed my hand and pulled me to himself. Resting my head on his chest, I watched Darian as he lifted both vampires off their feet, his hands wrapped around their throats. They gasped and sputtered, their eyes rolling into the back of their head. "Are you alright, Ava?" Keegan asked and I nodded in response. While he examined the cut on my neck, he muttered under his breath."Remind me never to get on his bad side."I grinned. "We've got to get out of here, Darian. There's no point in lingering around here any longer," Keegan said. Clenching his jaw, Darian released them. They fell to the ground like ragged dolls, blood oozing out of their mouths."What about your sister?" Darian asked when he
