Lain Navier Edevane, an assassin haunted by his past, is on a dangerous mission to avenge the brutal murder of his family. Assigned by the dark tide, an organization that controls assassins worldwide, he has no choice but to carry out their evil commands. Galen, Lain's superior, hands him a picture of a girl, instructing him to eliminate target 0351. Lain, with a smug expression, asks when she should be killed. His superior warns him not to underestimate her, as she is no ordinary girl. Lain has one hour to complete the mission, knowing that failure is not an option, as it would cost him his life. Galen handed Lain a picture of a girl. Lain frowned, disliking dirting hands. His superior ordered him to eliminate target 0351, warning that she was not an ordinary girl. Lain asked when she should be killed, and was given an hour. Failure meant death. Lain recognized the supernatural nature of his target, but his tracking abilities made finding her easy. In the club, he spotted the only redhead. In the dim light, Lain drew his dagger and approached the drunk girl with precision. As he was about to stab her, their eyes met and something awakened within him. “MATE!”

I woke up to the sound of laughter and groaned in annoyance.It was my little sister Nyra, probably joking about something with my dad.I grabbed my nearest pillow and covered my ears to block out the sound.“Lain you have to wake up, its Christmas morning.”My mom was knocking on the door and Sooner or later, I knew that if I didn't get my lazy ass out of bed, she was going to grab me by the ear and force me downstairs.I groaned deeply.“I'm coming, mom, I just need a minute.”I heard her footsteps slowly fading away and tossed the covers to the ground.Ever since I turned sixteen, I turned into the black sheep of the family and I would rather not do anything fun.It's like while growing up I was killing the kid inside me, but it wasn't exactly easy to act like a kid, especially when your father is the alpha of the pack, and you're next in line.I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower as the cold water drenched me.I was one of those kids who weren't too happy to discover that they were born half werewolf and half human.Furthermore, I felt envious of Nyra because she was born a human.I turned off the water and wrapped a white towel around myself.When I returned to the bedroom, my gaze lingered on the pile of brown hair spilling over my white crisp pillow.“Hey it's morning, get out of my bed.”She sighed softly and stretched her arms.Her brown eyes met mine.“Good morning handsome.”I tossed Velvet her clothes and pointed to the window.She frowned at me.“Are you expecting me to jump out a fucking window?”I gave her a knowing look, which immediately silenced her nagging.She scoffed in annoyance and immediately hopped out of bed and started quickly wearing her clothes.Our eyes locked and I smirked at her.“Bastard.”I cocked a brow at her.“That's not what you were calling me last night.”Velvet wore her shoes and gave me the middle finger as she slowly climbed outside my window.I chuckled darkly.My amusement soon vanished when I heard my little sister screaming outside.“Mom, a girl just jumped out of Lain's window!”I scoffed in annoyance that she really had to scream the last part.I grabbed the nearest pair of denim jeans and rushed downstairs shirtless.I let out a gasp when I found my mom holding Velvet in place.Great.She turned to look at me.“Mom, I can explain.”She raised a brow at me, urging me to go on.“I was drunk, and it was just a one-time thing.”Velvet gaped at me.“Excuse me?”She stared at me in disbelief.“You've fucked me countless times Lain be a good boy and tell the truth, otherwise Santa will be forced to put you on the naughty list.”My dad gave me a knowing look and disappeared with Nyra inside the house.My mother looked so disappointed in me, and I felt horrible for breaking her trust.She let go of Velvet but assured her that she was going to bring this matter with her parents.It was now my turn for a moment there. I thought that she was going to slap me, but she walked past me, brushing my shoulder.I glared at Velvet and followed my mom inside.She wasn't in the living room, and I assumed that she was upstairs.I found her in my room.I was about to open my mouth to say something, but she cut off.“Lain Navier edevane I know that you're growing up, and you're turning into a man, but you need to have a little decency and self-control.”She always uses my full name when she's mad at me.She glared at me.“Did you even use protection?”I looked away, refusing to meet her gaze.“Mom I'm not stupid, I would rather not become a dad at sixteen.”She rolled her eyes at me.“I don't want you bringing over any more girls to my house.”“Put on a fucking shirt and come downstairs because I'm tempted to break all your presents.”I heard the door being slammed hard, making me wince.She's definitely pissed off.I opened my closet and took out a white t-shirt and raced downstairs.Nyra was the first one to open her present and as expected, it was the latest Barbie doll with a matching playhouse.She giggled excitedly and hugged our parents.My mom received a new iPod from my dad.Dad received a new tool box, for some reason he was fascinated with fixing cars.Weird.I opened my present and found a keychain which was a small halo.“What's this?” Because I was perplexed.My dad smiled at me.“You probably shouldn't receive this after the stunt you did this morning, but your mother insisted that we give it to you since you successfully passed your driving test.”My eyes widened in shock at the sheer realization.“You got me a fucking car?!”My mother frowned at me.“Language.”I looked at my little sister and gave her an apologetic smile.“Sorry I forgot that you're still a little kid.”She rolled her eyes at me.“Where is my car?”“It's in the garage.”I sprang to my feet and rang outside.With the push of a button, the garage door opened only to reveal a brand new black Bentley.A smile curved my lips.For the first time in my life, I was excited to go back to school and show off my new car.After locking the garage door, I went back inside the house only to find things scattered.I walked into the living room and found some uninvited guests holding a dagger against my father's throat.My mother and sister were curled up in the Corner, crying softly.“Dad, what's going on?”A man all dressed in black pushed back his jet-black hair and took off his dark sunglasses, revealing his red eyes.Vampires.He hissed at me.“Welcome back to the party, kid.”I was about to transform into my wolf, but my father's voice stopped me from unleashing Axel.“Don't son.”The other two vampires forced me to get on my knees.“Now that the whole family is here, let's get this party started.”I looked up, meeting his gaze.“You can do anything you want with me, Damon but let my wife and children go.”I couldn't understand what was going on if I had paid more attention to the pack and would have known a thing or two about my father's enemies.Damn it.“I've been sent here with strict orders, Alex and no one here is leaving alive.”He shrugged carelessly.“Damon, I'm begging you.”I glared at the vampire, who only laughed at my father's pleas.“Don't not beg this bastard dad.”Damon turned to look at me with a blank expression written all over his face.“Ah you must be the famous Lain Navier edevane You have a brave kid Alex. It would be a shame if something happened to him.”I rolled my eyes at him.“Do your worst. I'm not afraid of a dead guy.”His smirk faded away, and his eyes darkened dangerously.“You're right kid I won't hurt you, instead I'll hurt your family.”My eyes widened in horror as he lunged towards my father and slit his throat open using the dagger.“Dad!”He choked on his own blood and slumped to the ground bleeding.My heart was pounding frantically in my chest, and I felt my lungs struggling to draw in air.I saw red and transformed into my wolf brown, snapping at the bloodthirsty vampire that killed my father right in front of me.I could hear my mother and sister screaming as I ripped off Damon's head.My father let out a gasp and his body froze.Before I could recover I was ambushed by the two other vampires who tossed me across the room, taking out half of the wall.I howled in pain trying to regain my balance.I couldn't spot my mother or Nyra anywhere, and that's when I heard my mother's terrified scream.I ran outside as Axel took control, only to come across her pale body.She had a vampire bite on her neck.I transformed back and felt her pulse, and it was non-existent.She was gone.Tears filled my eyes.'M- mom?”I couldn't spot Nyra or the two other vampires who came with Damon.Did they kill her as well?Gunshots filled the air, and realized that I just exposed myself.I slowly moved backwards when people started shooting at me.I rushed into the house and grabbed a pair of jeans and a sweater and started running into the woods.Yes, I was a coward. Instead of fighting back, I ran away.A man tackled me to the ground and we both fell on the snow.He was about to stab me, but I held the knife, stopping him even if the mere contact burned my skin.I pushed him off me and stabbed him three times with the silver dagger until he stopped breathing.My hands were painted crimson, and my heart was racing.The snow was only falling harder and after a few minutes I heard footsteps.I couldn't transform into my wolf because I was injured. Someone offered me their hand and when I looked up, I saw the devil.“Who are you?” I whispered curiously and he smirked at me.“I work for the dark tide kid.”*FREYA*I got on my knees and let out a scream as tears blurred my vision.I don't know what happened but raw power filled me and I let my fire take over. Something my mother had warned me about and in an instant I was standing face to face with Galen who looked horrified and dropped the gun he was holding.His lips trembled in fear."Freya Allan... don't kill me we can talk about this...I made a mistake" he pleaded but it was already too late.My fire consumed him as the night was filled with his screams of pain and watched him without any remorse until his body became nothing but a mere skeleton.I let go of it and it dropped to the ground in a pile of ashes.Whatever was controlling me it wasn't Ember and it was something more powerful.I rushed to my mother's side to make sure that she was okay. Luckily the bullet only hit her shoulder.Her face softened."I'm okay don't worry about it...but Rogue needs that antidote." I nodded quietly.I wasn't going to let anything happen to
*FREYA*My mind was still reeling from the shock.I can't believe that he cut me off but I sighed with relief because I had figured out Rogue's location."Don't do anything hasty Freya Allan you need to inform Alpha Lain so that he can help you" Ember muttered in a worried tone.I scoffed in annoyance."If I hadn't listened to Lain in the first place none of this would have happened and Rogue would be still with us. I know that once I tell him he's going to screw up the rest and put our daughter in more danger." Ember sighed deeply."I get why you're scared Freya Allan but Alpha Lain is now our mate and husband so we can't handle this situation alone."I nodded quietly."I'll tell him about the dream link and Rogue's location but I'm mad at him for risking our daughter's sake for some rivalry with his old boss or whoever that man is."Ember sighed with relief.Once I cooled down I explained about my father's message using the dream link and my mother and Lain seemed surprised that my
*ROGUE*I slowly opened my eyes trying to adjust to the bright light and I groaned deeply because I couldn't move.I was bound to something.I took a deep breath trying to calm myself so that I don't alert them that I'm awake.I closed my eyes when I heard footsteps in the room.Deep down I still couldn't get over what Tate did to me. I stupidly thought we were friends or mates as my mother put it but I was wrong and I fell into his trap.Why did it hurt so much? He was the first friend that accepted me even though people used to mock me because they believed that I wasn't my father's daughter.I heard the door being closed and opened my eyes, sat upright and noticed that my wrist was tied to some rope like a little puppy.I didn't like it.I slowly untied the rope and got out of bed.There was no one in the room and it had so many doors.I felt like I was trapped in some horror show.My bare feet felt numb as I wobbled trying to walk to the door. Once I was close enough I opened the
*HEROD*I sighed with relief when we came back to the headquarters of the dark tide without any complications.But we weren't alone because Tate had joined and I must say this kid had some nerve to betray his best and act like shit didn't happen."You doing okay?" I asked curiously because his gaze was lingered on the girls face.He looked up meeting my gaze and his face remained motionless."I'm perfectly fine it's just going to suck for Rogue when she realizes that she can't get the princess treatment anymore."I shrugged carelessly."I thought she was your friend."His lips turned into a thin line and he remained silent as he debated his next words."I thought she was my friend but that was until her father ruined my family. I know that I can't take my revenge on her father so she'll just have to take the fall for him."I nodded quitely.Once we reached the location I carried Rogue in my arms and placed her on the bed.Her skin had turned pale and black veins were appearing on her
*Drex*Lain looked like he was on the verge of losing his mind when I stepped out of the torture room for a few minutes.This guy wasn't willing to talk and Rogue was running out of time if Freya Allan finds out about this all hell is going to break loose.I groaned deeply as I ran my fingers through my hair, closing my eyes as I took in the crisp cold night air.I heard footsteps at a distance."Having a rough night?"That was a woman's voice.My eyes slowly opened as a woman holding a suitcase stood in front of me but she wasn't just an ordinary woman.She was my woman.My eyes widened in shock."Elisa?" She gave me a small smile and put on her heels on the ground."Uh that's not the welcome I was expecting but it's not to see you too love of my life"she taunted .I frowned at her still trying to recover from the shock.I grabbed her arm."What the hell are you doing here?" She narrowed her eyes at me."I came to stay with you since we can't be together in New York. You love your
*ROGUE*I stayed close to my grandmother Hestia when a lot of pack members surrounded my parents. I guess they were pretty happy that my parents finally ended up together.But I wanted to give them a hug too.Someone tapped me on the shoulder and when I spun around I was stunned to find Tate staring at me.A big smile curved my lips and I wrapped my arms around us.He pulled away and gave me a small smile."I thought you hated me. '' I muttered quietly and crossed my arms over my chest.He had given me the cold shoulder.My grandmother looked between us."A friend of yours honey?" She asked curiously with a mischievous smirk on her face.I shrugged carelessly."I don't know about that grandma Hestia, someone told me that we weren't friends anymore and yet he came looking for me."Tate looked at my grandmother nervously."I'm sorry but can I talk to Rogue alone?" He asked.I turned to look at my grandmother."You guys can talk, just don't go anywhere far because your mom and dad we'll
*FREYA*Today was the day of my wedding but I felt more nervous than ever and it wasn't because I was getting cold feet it was rather because of Lain's plan.I couldn't shake off this feeling that something was going to go horribly wrong and we would only endanger many people if we went on with this plan.Aniko had only given birth a few days ago and the pack doctor advised her to get plenty of rest but here she was helping me do my hair and makeup because she couldn't bear the thought of missing my big day.Brandon was stuck babysitting their newborn Hunter.If she only knew the truth.We decided to keep the wedding real and only Lain, Drex and I knew about the plan to lure out the dark tide.I looked in the mirror and couldn't even find the urge to smile and Aniko noticed that something was up.She crossed her arms over her chest."I feel like you're hiding something from me so spill the tea, what is it?" I forced a smile and made it look as natural as possible."I'm just nervous b
*HEROD*Just as expected Lain had fallen into our trap and went ahead to plan the wedding despite what the mistress had left him behind.What happened to that kid was too cruel and her death still hangs over my head because I am filled with guilt."You didn't have to kill that little girl, we could have murdered someone else or even one of her parents."Her screams still filled my ears and on top of that I couldn't get that gruesome scene out of my head.It kept replaying in my head over and over again and I couldn't shake off the feeling that something dark was always lurking in the darkness.Missy put on her bra and I have a strong feeling that Galen is going to give her an earful because she's been avoiding his calls and she hasn't gone back to his house since we left the hospital.It's been two fucking days.When I say fucking days I actually mean that bedroom shit.She pouted her lips."Come on, Herod , it was necessary to kill a little girl so that Lain doesn't get too comfortab
*LAIN*My head was still reeling from the shock and when I tried to call that number again the line wouldn't even go through.I groaned deeply, running my fingers through my hair.Freya Allan was always right about these people and they'll never leave us alone and now that Rogue is in the picture her life is in danger as well.A few days earlier Freya Allan had insisted that I do another DNA test secretly and I was against the idea but eventually I had to give in and when the results finally came back they were positive.Rogue is my flesh and blood and nothing will ever change that.But the revelation of the first DNA test only means that someone tampered with the first test and I have a strong feeling that Velvet had something to do with it.I sat in my office chair debating my next move because I wasn't letting the dark tide ruin my happiness. They did it years ago and I won't let history repeat itself.There was a knock on the door and I snapped out of my thoughts.I had to get ba
